Hearing this, He Manzhou directly exploded.

"Why are you so difficult to tell me useful information," she repeated Bai Yicong's words in a low voice, and no matter what roundabout temptations and language arts, all the illusions of gentleness and generosity and business blowing each other came to an end, and Miss He stared at those big clear eyes, and her temper came up directly.

"What do you mean? I don't know, or I don't want to say it at all?"

Literally. Bai Yicong said.

"Bai Yicong, don't pretend to me, don't you say, you travel to Wucheng, buy some souvenirs and go home to celebrate the New Year, you don't know anything else, right?"

In response to He Manzhou's aggressive questioning, Bai Yicong put down the teacup and glanced at her lightly.

There was not much emotion in his eyes, there was an invisible oppressive force that was not angry and self-threatening, and his tone was also light.

"As for the previous person in charge of the Tianwentang Museum, Mr. Lingzun He Sheng, I haven't had too much contact, so it's not easy to make an evaluation. The trip to Dock City has yielded nothing, if Miss He is interested in Dock City, she can ask your father directly. It is said that he cultivated abroad, and as his own daughter, he must have visited him occasionally. ”

"My dad didn't go abroad to cultivate, he was missing, missing, you know?" He Manzhou was choked by Bai Yicong's words for a long time and didn't speak, only felt a burst of evil fire rising faintly in his chest, and the words he said were uncontrollable, and he jumped out of his head when he should say and shouldn't say.

"Last winter my dad went to Dock City and never came back, I looked for him for a whole year, and there were no clues, I hated to go through Dock City...... You actually told me to visit, where do you think I should visit?"

When he heard this, Bai Yicong's eyebrows jumped imperceptibly.

In the past month, he has been investigating things about He Sheng in private, and his whereabouts are the most concerned. Now all this has been confirmed from He Manzhou's mouth, which also shows that Bai Yi has confirmed one step from the guess in his heart, He Sheng is the person in the dream.

Seemingly silently, He Manzhou didn't ask anything, but handed over the hole cards.

This confused look is really not suitable for testing others.

According to Bai Yicong's consistent style of acting, he should choose to grasp He Manzhou's weakness, eat her, use her, and maximize his own interests, after all, the safety of strangers has nothing to do with him, Bai Yiyi has never been addicted to charity, and he has never regarded himself as a benevolent giver. For Bai Yicong, meaningless sympathy and choices dragged down by emotion are nothing more than a cover for hypocrisy, which is a retreat that the weak cannot seek in the face of their true hearts, and in the end, they give their failures a rhetoric like "I can't bear it", which is high-sounding and self-deceptive.

Since taking over the Bai family, Bai Yicong has grown up rapidly, probably because the external situation has put too much pressure on him, and in the face of absolute power and calculation, even blood and family affection are unreliable. In a situation of isolation and helplessness, it is inevitable that you will know what it means not to break or stand, and to exercise the perseverance and decisiveness that others cannot imagine, so as to protect yourself and others.

Bai Yicong knows that there is no way back from many things. After making up one's mind, those uncontrollable emotions come with the swaying, except for the mind is not firm enough, there is no benefit, to go deeper, the untimely kindness is in the end a knife inserted in one's own heart, only by removing the senseless stumbling blocks, can go further.

But He Manzhou is Lao He's daughter, and the situation is completely different.

No matter what happened back then, it is an indisputable fact that Lao He finally sacrificed his life to save him, and Bai Yicong was most afraid of owing human debts in his life, especially the kindness of sacrificing his life to save him, and he couldn't help but repay such love debts. There must be a result from the beginning and end of the trip to Dock City, whether it is good or bad, what is hidden behind the broken dream, who is the woman with blue eyes in the cave in the night rain, and what kind of shocking mystery is buried behind those risks......

No matter what the price is, Bai Yicong will check it and check it to the end.

But He Manzhou doesn't have to be involved in this.

Since she didn't know anything about the trip to Wucheng, Bai Yixian would never choose to involve her. For the benefactor's daughter, he will give the greatest compensation and care, He Manzhou only needs to live the current life and protect himself, more things have nothing to do with her, she doesn't need to worry about it, and she shouldn't have more involvement.

Responsibilities or obligations, Bai will also bear all the responsibilities from the association.

He will investigate Lao He's life and death, he will solve all the mysteries hidden behind it, if there is no satisfactory result in the end, he will choose to give He Manzhou other compensation, money, business, interests, these material things will not be less, but it is limited to this.

This is the protection that Bai Yicong can think of.

is arbitrary and unreasonable, and has no intention of preparing to explain to He Manzhou.

"I'm sorry if your father had an accident during the expedition. ”

Thinking like this, Bai Yicong opened his mouth lightly, his voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded low and good.

"However, I don't express my opinion, but I don't recommend that you investigate these things without sufficient clues and abilities, such as now-what do you want to get from me, clues or help, you are not qualified enough, what can you continue to talk to me? Miss He, before you have enough ability, the first thing you should learn is to protect yourself. ”

These words were very straightforward, but the words were not rough, he was warning He Manzhou not to show his hole cards too early. The bee still has sharp spines to protect the honey, and if she trusts others without any scheming, cannot discern the purpose of the other person, and is unable to protect herself, the more curious she is, the more she puts herself in danger.

If you run into someone with bad intentions, it's like stepping into a thief's den, and in the end you don't even know that you are being used by others.

But Boss Bai's cold words were too deterrent, even if he wanted to say good things, it didn't sound like that, so his rare kind persuasion completely changed in He Manzhou's ears, and it seemed sharp and ugly.

What's the matter, is this trying to get rid of yourself directly? He Manzhou muttered in his heart.

She is not the kind of person who is good at roundabout tactics, she is usually used to going straight, and she can't hide things in her heart at all, plus she is really angry with Bai Yicong's attitude, and she is not in the mood to engage in those psychological tactics. Thinking like this, He Manzhou took out the blue notes in his backpack without saying a word, and pushed them down the tea table in front of Bai Yicong, directly changing from "first salute" to "rear soldier".

"Boss Bai, since you talk to me about qualifications, then I'll have a good fight with you. Don't you think that I'm here to touch porcelain, and there's no evidence at all - if I'm not mistaken, the person mentioned in my father's codex is you, whether you admit it or not, the incident is written here in black and white, do you still want to admit it?"

When he saw He Manzhou take out his notes, Bai Yicong's face finally changed slightly.

Different from the instinctive curiosity that he had at the beginning of the "daughter of the life-saving benefactor", and did not stop at the observation and competition of people who were still useful, at this moment he showed a little patience to analyze He Manzhou, and even gave birth to a little different looks. He didn't expect that this girl would really find a clue.

"Although it's a bit offensive to ask this question, it's about my father's safety, and I can't help but say these things......" He Manzhou raised his head and looked at Bai Yicong without shying away from it, "At that time, in Wucheng, you and Lao He ...... That is, what did my father find? Did something wrong happen, or did something strange happen? After that trip, my father disappeared, and there was no one alive or dead, and there is no clue to this day. But as a companion, you came back in good shape, do you think that is reasonable?"

Bai Yi never wanted to explain anything, and his tone was still light.

"As I said, I won't give you any more useful information, you don't have to work in vain, Miss He, so let's stop here. ”

He Manzhou was completely angered by such a statement, and for a while she forgot the purpose of this trip, and also forgot that she was essentially asking for help, she wanted to learn clues from Bai Yicong, but people did not have the obligation to tell her, just like Bai Yi never came to say why, she could perform on the spot.

"Bai Yicong, why do you want to cooperate with my dad and do everything possible to trick him into going to Wucheng, it is an ancient painting and a broken temple, what kind of conspiracy is there, can you give me an explanation?"

He Manzhou's words were very polite, and there was an explicit question in his tone, a little bit of your Bai Yi came back from peace is a kind of fault, either the mastermind behind the scenes or an accomplice.

In fact, after turning to the contents of the codex yesterday, He Manzhou's inner intuitive reaction was like this.

The coordinates hidden behind the two mysterious ancient paintings, the mysterious ancient temples and strange totems in the rain curtain, and the taboos and curses that Lao He wrote later, there is no turning back on the terrifying itinerary...... All the unthinkable things don't make sense.

The clues given by the codex are obscure, and most of the suspicions are on Bai Yicong.

Behind the superficial cooperative relationship between him and He Sheng, there were many temptations and calculations between each other, and until the end, Lao He did not be honest about the reason for their cooperation. It is not so much that they are teammates and partners who are close to each other, but that they are bound together by the ropes twisted by fate on a specific occasion.

They will investigate the so-called "Goddess's Suit" and the unknown treasure.

.......

"Are you suspicious of me?"

When He Manzhou realized that his emotions were completely controlled by the other party, a deep and nice voice broke the silence.

Bai Yicong tilted his head, and his narrow eyes looked obscure from the perspective of the backlight.

"Business cooperation, door-to-door visits...... None of these statements are what you really want to say. You suspect that I have something to do with He Sheng's disappearance, and that I have taken advantage of your father, and even that I am the culprit of his disappearance-Miss He, you want to investigate me, this is the purpose of your visit to Baiyulou today, right?"
