In the study on the second floor of the Ling family's mansion, the housekeeper knocked on the door gently, holding the ringing mobile phone in one hand, until an answer came from inside, and then he quickly and lightly walked to the side of the figure sitting behind the desk.

Slowly looked at the old man sitting on the pear blossom wood chair, his silver hair was neatly combed, he was wearing a pair of reading glasses with gold rimmed, he was wearing a dark black haute couture suit, a golden tie with dark lines, and a crimson scarf hanging from his neck.

Even though the old man is nearly 80 years old, his spirit is still strong.

At this time, there were twenty newspapers from different newspapers on the desk, mixed with other international newspapers such as English and French, and the old man was holding one of the French newspapers in his hand.

Behind the lenses, the eyes that were sunken in the sockets did not know what to see, and narrowed slightly, sharp and bright, revealing a trace of the unique shrewdness of a businessman, and a touch of darkness under the eyes was always reminding the old man in front of him that he was not very easy to get along with.

Seeing this, the look on the housekeeper's face became more and more respectful, and he bent down slightly to hand over the old man's mobile phone, and whispered, "Old man, your phone is ringing." ”

"What day is today?" Ling Huaide glanced at it strangely, his hands holding the newspaper slowly lowered, and he reached out to take the mobile phone that was still vibrating, "Who is calling this time?"

Why do you say again?

Just half an hour ago, when Ling Huaide was still sitting in the living room drinking tea, he unexpectedly received a call from the old man of the Su family.

Although on the surface, the Ling family and the Su family also have a business cooperation relationship, but now that the old man of the Ling family has retired, it is more to be handed over to the children of the next generation to be responsible.

The old man between the five wealthy families is close to each other, the Xi family and the Xia family have the best relationship, the Su family and the Yang family are the best, and only the old man of the Ling family, who is at the bottom of the strength, has an average relationship with anyone.

Usually the old man of the Ling family takes the initiative to call to contact the relationship, build a good relationship, and apologize to someone for the sake of the Ling family's uncompetitive son, he has never tried to receive a call from the other four, and today's call is a surprise for Ling Huaide!

In case I can talk to the family...

"Old man, it was the old man from the Xi family who called. ”

After being interrupted by the housekeeper, the old man finally remembered the phone that had not yet been connected, and hurriedly clicked it, picked up the mobile phone and put it to his ear, and took the initiative to say hello to the person on the other end of the phone with a smile, "Old Xi, good morning!"

Ling Huaide didn't know what he heard, his eyes shrunk, his expression was full of surprise and incredulity, and he quickly nodded and said, "Eat, just had breakfast, thank you for your concern." ”

"Available. ”

"Yes, yes, Xi Lao, just say that as long as I can help you, I can't give up. The tone was respectful and flattering, this is the strongest Xi family.

"Yes, it's from our Ling family. ”

"Elder Xi, don't say that, it's because I don't manage it well, I didn't expect those people on the side to be so bold. ”

Sideline?

Hearing this, the housekeeper had a touch of curiosity in his heart, but he quickly relented again, in the Ling family, this kind of curiosity must not be had, it will only kill himself.

I don't know what the old man Xi said on the other side, Ling Huaide's expression changed slightly, his eyes gradually deepened, and his voice involuntarily raised a few points, "Old Xi, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and I will ask someone to order to deal with the side matters as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, okay, I wish you good health. ”

The moment the phone was put down, the old man who was still smiling on his face slowly retracted the smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head sideways to signal to the housekeeper on the side, "Old Ji, you went to find out what stupid things those people on the Ling family's side have done recently, why did they suddenly interfere in the affairs of the Security Bureau?"

"Have you forgotten, old man? You have already commanded it once when you were in the living room. ”

As if he had been reminded, Ling Huaide looked slightly stunned, and the memories in his mind instantly emerged, yes, the call from the Yu family just now was also for the Ling family to do things for those who were not on the stage, and the words were all reminding and warning of the consequences of interfering with judicial justice.

"Who the hell did those idiots mess with, and why did they suddenly find me?"

"Old man, I'll urge them again. ”

As soon as he pushed open the wooden door of the study, the housekeeper was startled by the young man standing by the door, "Young Master Haotian, why are you here?" and stood by the door of the study without saying a word, and did not knock on the door.

"Hey, Uncle Ji, I have something to find grandpa. ”

"The old man is inside. The housekeeper didn't think much about it, but felt that Ling Haotian would rarely be able to get up so early one day, "Please come in." ”

"Grandpa!"

"Haotian, why did you come to me so early today?" Ling Huaide couldn't help but say when he saw his youngest grandson, "Is it because you have been short of money to spend recently, or is it causing trouble again?" Although he said this, the kindness in his words could not be concealed.

As soon as he entered the door, Ling Haotian squatted beside the old man very skillfully, gently beating the old man's strangeness, the strength was appropriate and comfortable, and while beating, he shouted, "Grandpa, in fact, I am looking for you today because I want your help with something!

"Oh my God, what's the matter, tell me, your grandfather and I'll see if I can help. Ling Huaide leaned back slowly, and didn't easily agree because this was his favorite grandson, "Shouldn't it be to arrange for your wine and meat friends to serve in the Ling clan?"

"No, no, no. Ling Haotian shook his head violently, with a bright smile, and said flatteringly, "Grandpa, this is a completely trivial matter for you, that is, the people on the side of the Ling family, some of the things they have done recently are not authentic..."

"Wait," Ling Huaide suddenly interrupted the young man's words, how could he be a member of the Ling family, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Is it involved in the Demon Capital Security Bureau?"

"Yes, yes, how do you know, grandpa?"

Ling Huaide's expression tightened slightly, but his heart had already turned upside down, who could convince the Xi family, the Su family, and his own grandson to find him for one thing at the same time, when did such a character appear in the Demon Capital, and he could actually let the three major families come forward to help him/her?

Without waiting for Ling Huaide to continue thinking, the door was knocked again, the housekeeper held the mobile phone again, and the voice sounded again, "Old man, the Xia family is also calling." ”

After Ling Huaide took the phone and chatted for ten minutes, his expression became more and more complicated, "Old Ji, is it still the Yang family who hasn't called yet?"

"Yes, old man. The housekeeper nodded slightly, looked at the mobile phone moving back and forth, and made a suggestion softly, "Why don't you put the mobile phone on your side today?"

"It's okay, after the Yang family calls again, you can take it back for safekeeping. ”

But until it was dark, Old Man Ling never received a fourth call, holding his phone like obsessive-compulsive disorder, always feeling that something was wrong, as if when collecting five patterns, there was an inexplicable anxious feeling that one was missing.

Why didn't you shout all of it?

Why is there one missing?

Otherwise, I will make a phone call and ask if the Yang family has anything to say to the Ling family?
