Chapter 453: The True Face of the Glove Man
Xia Xiaoxiao's personality is cold and resolute, and she is also resolute in her work, as soon as she finished speaking, she didn't wait for me to reply, and directly held me forward.
I followed her in such a daze and walked to the Xia family's manor together.
My steps, slow and powerful, my expression, kept the clouds and the wind light, but my heart was excited, the closer I got to the big iron gate, the faster my heart beat rate, there was an uncontrollable tension.
I don't know if Xia Xiaoxiao felt my heartbeat, she reminded me coldly: "Xu Can, you don't have to be nervous, just play your usual true colors and be yourself, it's okay!"
Actually, I also understand what kind of character the gang leader of the Hong Gang is, that is a real hero-level character, it is impossible to play tricks in front of him, he is definitely not so easy to fool. Therefore, I don't need to sell Guan Zi in front of him, it's just that I am a disguised identity after all, and I always worry about my father in my heart. Of course, what makes me nervous the most is about my plan, and I always feel that entering the Xia family manor is the first step to the success of my plan.
It is precisely because of this that I can't avoid excitement, but my current temperament is much calmer than before, even if it is such a major event, I can still restrain myself, even if my heart is beating faster, but my surface can still be as calm as water.
I turned my head slightly, looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, and assured very calmly: "Well, I know, with you, I am ready to meet your parents!"
Let's talk about it. I smiled and showed my ease.
Xia Xiaoxiao also unfolded a warm smile, and with two hands, she couldn't help but hold my left arm harder.
After a while, we came to the big iron gate of the manor, but, to my surprise, the moment we approached the big iron gate, two of the uniformed guards patrolling outside the iron gate suddenly intercepted us and shouted: "Stop, Xia family compound, no approach!"
This time, I was really stunned, where could I have thought that the patrol officers of the Xia family's mansion would even dare to stop the eldest lady of the Xia family, and dare to shout at her so unceremoniously, this is simply eating the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard.
Xia Xiaoxiao herself was also completely stunned, she opened her eyes, stared at the two uniformed guards up and down, and then said: "You newcomers, open the door, I'm the eldest lady of the Xia family, Xia Xiaoxiao!"
I thought that Xia Xiaoxiao reported his name. These people will be scared, but what surprised me again was that the faces of these two guys were still unfazed, and their momentum was not reduced at all, they were not half polite, and shouted at us again: "I'm sorry, it's an extraordinary time, the gang leader has an order, and no one is allowed to enter!"
Hearing this, let alone Xia Xiaoxiao, even I couldn't hold my breath a little anymore, and yelled at them directly: "Are you blind? This is Miss Xia, she's going home, why don't you hurry up and get out of the way?"
My tone was full of reproach, and my voice was sonorous, but my words, not only did not frighten the two uniformed guards, but, on the contrary, alarmed the other patrolmen, who instantly regarded us as troublemakers and surrounded us.
Seeing that the situation was not optimistic, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Everyone, we are not here to make trouble, I am Xia Xiaoxiao, please report it, I am back!" ad_250_left ();
Obviously, the same guards as these robots, there is no reason to talk about it, and they can't be hard, Xia Xiaoxiao can only say good things.
And, one of the guards who took the lead also seemed to see the difference between Xia Xiaoxiao, and he immediately replied coldly: "Wait!"
After that, he went to the walkie-talkie in front of the door and said something. After a while, he came over and said to us, "Wait a minute, Steward Du is coming over soon!"
Helpless, Xia Xiaoxiao and I could only stand obediently outside the door and wait.
The periphery of the manor, although brightly lit, is very quiet, quiet and even a little weird, only a few intermittent insect chirps add a touch of life to the place.
At this moment, my heart is becoming more and more complicated, originally, for the Hong Gang leader who is about to meet, I have raised 10,000 points of mental preparation to deal with it, and now, such a trouble, let me have a new understanding of the Hong Gang, and I feel more unpredictable.
Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid that I would think too much, so he specially explained to me: "Maybe it has something to do with what happened recently, even the guards have increased, which is not usually the case!"
I smiled wryly, "It's okay, I'm patient!"
After speaking, there was a dead silence all around us again, and just like that, we waited in this strange atmosphere for a full twenty minutes, and at this time. The big iron door slowly opened.
Suddenly, the uniformed guards patrolling outside, as if greeting the prince, stood in their respective positions and made a gesture to greet their masters.
Immediately, from the manor, three people slowly walked out, walking in the forefront, is an old man wearing a Mao suit, kind eyebrows, this person, the first feeling is that he is very kind, a friendly image.
What's more strange is that this old man looks quite old, but his hair is black and translucent, which makes him more and more vigorous, at first glance, his momentum is very extraordinary, obviously, his strength is not bad.
Behind him, followed by two men in flat-headed suits, like robots, expressionless, stiff steps, from their bodies, I can also feel unfathomable, really, the Hong Gang is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, no wonder it can become the largest gang in the provincial capital.
When Xia Xiaoxiao saw the black-haired old man, he immediately stepped forward and called out very kindly: "Steward Du!"
From Xia Xiaoxiao's tone, I can also feel that she still respects this black-haired old man, and the black-haired old man, when he suddenly saw Xia Xiaoxiao, his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of surprise, it seemed incredible, he stared at Xia Xiaoxiao for a while, and then said excitedly: "Miss, it's really you, I didn't believe it at the beginning of the doorman's report, I really didn't expect you to come back!"
Xia Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and said with a little doubt: "Yes, I'm back, but Steward Du, what's going on at home, why didn't the doorman let me in!"
Steward Du sighed lightly. Youyou said: "Alas, this is a long story, now that the Hong Gang is in chaos, I have to be careful to take precautions, let's go, let's go in and talk about it!"
Xia Xiaoxiao nodded and said refreshingly: "Okay, but my boyfriend is also here, I'm going to take him in!"
After speaking, she went straight over and grabbed my hand, pulled me in front of Steward Du, and then introduced to Steward Du: "This is my boyfriend, Xu Can!"
Hearing this, Steward Du couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at me, from his eyes, I couldn't see the superfluous look, maybe as a housekeeper, is to be loyal to his duties, no matter what's going on, so, for my eldest lady's boyfriend, Steward Du didn't say much, just said kindly: "Let's go in together!"
Subsequently, this kind old man, Steward Du, took me and Xia Xiaoxiao. The Xia family manor was introduced.
As soon as I entered the manor, my vision seemed to be instantly broadened again, here, it is really a unique cave, it is like a big tourist attraction, in it, I will feel relaxed and happy, every place is a landscape, every point is a bright spot, the most important thing, the area inside is very large, it looks very magnificent.
In this magnificent mountain villa garden, there is a giant fountain that is particularly iconic, at night, the fountain is illuminated by the colored lights at the bottom, shoots out the colored water, both galloping and beautiful, the left and right sides of the garden, the flowers and trees are not much to say, even the rockery has many people, any place, are equipped with colored lanterns, extremely beautiful.
Basically, I could enjoy different scenery along the way, but it was a bit inconsistent with the natural beauty. In the courtyard of the villa, there are guards everywhere, and it is particularly strict.
The big iron gate we passed through at the beginning was only the first checkpoint, after coming in, there was a tighter checkpoint, there were more guards, you had to swipe the card to enter, the guards in the park, all of them were like eagles in the night, hovering the guards, conscientious, strict, I also followed Steward Du, and it would be unimpeded all the way.
Walking into the depths of the manor, all kinds of dazzling buildings stand out, there are European styles, as well as ancient styles, different styles have different tastes, but without exception, they all look majestic and tall.
Of course, admiring the scenery is only superficial, in fact, I am observing the geography of the place, and I carefully observe every detail. At the same time, I will also listen to Steward Du's introduction, along the way, Steward Du is talking about the recent situation, saying that the current situation is not optimistic, and sighing that the eldest lady is finally back, saying that the master will be happy.
And, when we walked to a European-style building area, Steward Du suddenly stopped, and he said to Xia Xiaoxiao cordially: "Miss, you know the temper of the master, he will not follow outsiders casually, so you follow me in first." After the master allows me, I will let Mr. Xu Can in, how about it?"
Xia Xiaoxiao has always treated Steward Du with respect, and she also agreed with Steward Du's words, so she replied directly: "Well, okay!"
After speaking, she turned her eyes on me and said softly: "Xu Can, you wait for me for a while, my father will meet you!"
I nodded and said I had no opinion.
Steward Du immediately instructed the man in the flat-headed suit: "Bring Mr. Xu Can into the guest room, so that he will be entertained!"
When the words fell, Steward Du led Xia Xiaoxiao to see the leader of the Hong Gang, and I was taken to a guest room by two men in suits.
It is said that it is a guest room, but it is actually a villa, and it is also a luxury villa, the emperor of the provincial city, it is different, this rich and rich, and the place to live can be compared with the palace.
In the living room of this villa, two men in suits were polite to me, poured me tea, turned on the TV, and asked me to wait here.
You're welcome. Sitting on the sofa and watching TV, although, I look indifferent on the surface, but my heart is not shaking, through my observation of the Xia family manor just now, I suddenly feel more pressure, the strength of the Hong Gang, or beyond my expectations, just the guards I saw on the surface, are a powerful force, not to mention those who are hidden in the dark. I can clearly feel that in this manor, there are eyes everywhere, and the atmosphere in it is very different, too dignified, making people feel oppressive, even if the open scenery can't stop this dignified.
Of course, what makes my heart fluctuate even more is that I can't see through the strength of the Xia family's housekeeper, that. The leader of the Hong Gang, how perverted has to be?
No wonder the Hong Gang is in danger of splitting, Xia Xiaoxiao is not worried about his father at all, it turns out that the leader of the largest gang in this provincial city is indeed beyond imagination. Now, I don't have the urge to come hard with the leader of the Hong Gang, I feel like I'm really killing myself, right now, I'm afraid that only through Xia Xiaoxiao's line can I have a chance to rescue my dad.
Or, when the Hong Gang is torn apart, I'll wait for an opportunity. to have a chance of winning.
However, this is all my whims, how can such a big gang as the Hong Gang fall so easily.
The more I thought about it, the more entangled my heart became, and the self-confidence hidden in my body unconsciously disappeared a lot.
Just when I was feeling uneasy, suddenly, Steward Du walked in from outside the door, and said as he walked: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Can, let you wait for a long time!"
When Steward Du spoke, he always had a kind smile on his face, which made people feel very kind, as the chief butler of the Xia family, his status was extraordinary, and he was so polite to me, which made me think a little highly of him, so I quickly got up and said very sincerely: "Steward Du, you are here!"
Steward Du smiled kindly: "You're welcome, hurry up and sit down!"
As the words fell, he turned to the two men in suits behind me and said, "You guys get out!"
The man in the suit took the order, immediately retreated, and consciously closed the door of the villa.
After the man in the suit stepped back and I sat down, Steward Du also sat down on the sofa next to me, and poured himself tea leisurely.
Seeing him like this, I immediately understood that this old butler must have something to say to me, or rather, the gang leader of the Hong Gang sent to test me.
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but remain cautious, if it was really sent by the leader of the Hong Gang, then my performance must be as natural as possible, and I can't be seen the slightest flaw.
But. What makes me a little painful is that this Steward Du has been silent for a long time, and has been drinking tea here leisurely, which seems to be testing my patience, as the boyfriend of the eldest lady of the Xia family, I need to worry about some issues, so I took the lead in breaking the silence and asked Steward Du: "Steward Du, did Uncle Xia promise to see me?"
When I said this, my face looked very anxious, this was the excitement of seeing my husband for the first time as a son-in-law. But, in fact, I am also worried in my heart, because I really care about the attitude of the leader of the Hong Gang, if he is willing to see me, at least it will give me a little more chance, this may be my only chance to break into the Hong Gang, I must grasp it. So, after saying this, I stared at Steward Du tightly.
It's just that Steward Du still looks so leisurely, he is not in a hurry at all, as if he didn't hear my question, until he finally put down the teacup in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at me, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Can, there is a question, I want you to answer me truthfully?"
Steward Du's tone suddenly became very serious, and his kind face became serious.
This time, my heart became more and more worried, looking at this, the situation is really not optimistic, it must not be as smooth as I imagined, otherwise, Steward Du would not be so strange. But, no matter what I faced, I can't be frightened, I can't show flaws, I must be steady, I first picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, slowed down my emotions, and then said: "Okay, Steward Du, please say!"
As soon as my voice fell, suddenly. Butler Du, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly had a cold look, and his eyes exposed a cold light that was completely inconsistent with his charitable image, he stared at me coldly, and after a while, he spoke, making a cold and piercing, hoarse voice: "I want to know, how did you come out alive?"
This cold voice is really different from the kind voice of Steward Du I just knew, at this moment, his voice suddenly became extremely lethal and even more shocking, making my heartbeat stop instantly, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble.
Obviously, this is his deliberate voice, but in my ears, it is very familiar, and I can hear it at once, this is the voice of the masked man who arrested me and Xia Xiaoxiao that night, the glove man...
