The next day, Bai Xiu still went to Qu Xiaowen's house, but when he came back, his quiet life finally came to an end.

He received a letter, of course, if just one letter was not enough to make him suspicious, but this letter was written to him by Zheng Ruyi.

Zheng Ruyi has long been dead, how could he write a letter to him, it is obvious that someone else wrote it to him in the name of Zheng Ruyi.

He opened the letter and saw that it was indeed unfamiliar handwriting.

The content on it is very simple, so simple that not even a line of letter paper is written - "Leave Wangcheng as soon as possible, Xie's birthday banquet is fraudulent." ”

Bai Xiu's heart became more and more solemn, he originally thought that this letter was written to him by the Xie family, but it was not, which was very intriguing.

Why?

Because the address on the letter was the hotel where he was staying, and even the exact room was pinpointed, the postmark on the letter was a day before he checked in.

He clearly remembered that the room he had chosen that day, and even the Xie family might not know in advance which room he was staying in, and the person who wrote the letter not only knew his whereabouts well, but even knew the prophet.

This was obviously impossible, so he thought of another possibility, the hotel, at least the person who had written the letter had some kind of connection, and the room number had been filled in later.

This illustrates two problems: first, they are very familiar with him and know every move of the Xie family; second, their strength is also not to be underestimated, and they can actually infiltrate here under the noses of the Xie family.

So what will be their purpose, to remind him of the contents of his letter, or to remind him that he is hiding the "tentacles" of other forces around him?

Yes, tentacles.

Bai Xiu found that this word was really very appropriate, of course, the tentacles he was referring to were not just people who were stinging the sky, I don't know how many such forces there are in the world, so there are naturally many who can play this role.

So who could they be? an organization similar to the Heavens, or the force behind it?

If not, he might be able to guess the identity of the person who wrote the letter, and the origin of "he" or "them" should be very similar to Ling Cang.

He couldn't help but hesitate.

It stands to reason that he should believe Ling Cang and them, after all, these people all support the so-called plan, and it is related to his father, but there is a faint sense of rejection in his heart - the tentacles, the ants, and even the people who raise ants just want to get rid of him, but they seem to want to manipulate him.

This is much scarier than the former.

Bai Xiu looked at the letter in his hand, and inevitably hesitated, he had to make a choice to leave or stay - staying, not only would there be trouble with the letter, but he might also be disturbed by the person who sent the letter, but if he left, he would step into another trap, and it would be trouble after all.

He made the decision in his heart to crumple the letter paper and the envelope into powder and throw it in the trash.

In fact, he also wanted to see who the person who wrote the letter was, as long as he didn't leave Wangcheng, that person would definitely show his feet.

At the same time, he also had other concerns in his heart, maybe he shouldn't go to Qu Xiaowen's mother and daughter again, it would bring trouble to them.

He had a plan and stayed in the hotel for the next few days, occasionally driving out for a walk to see if anyone was following him.

It's a pity that there was nothing to gain in the end, whether it was the Xie family, the person who sent the letter, or even some tentacles never appeared again.

Time passed in a flash, and soon it was the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, and in the afternoon of the same day, Xie Ningyun came uninvited and personally invited him to Ruoyuan Villa, of course Bai Xiu would not refuse, and got into the car with him.

An hour later, the black sedan drove out of the city and headed for a well-known satellite city of Wangcheng.

This satellite town is called Wolong Spring, and compared to other industrialized satellite towns, it is mainly engaged in real estate and tourism, because of the very good environment, it is the first choice for sanatoriums and luxury villas in Wangcheng and other surrounding big cities.

Not far from the center of Wangcheng, a string of endless hills gradually appeared, which are all part of the Wangshan Mountain Range, they are like pearls in the sky, rolling down on the vast Wangshan Plain, and then holding Wolong Spring in their arms.

Chinese people more or less believe in feng shui, "hope" through "Wang", Wangshan out of Longquan, naturally is a good color, which is also another reason why Wolongquan is so popular.

Not long after, the black sedan passed through the center of Wollongquan and came to a villa area, but the driver did not stop, but drove towards the deepest part of the valley.

When you turn a hill, a scene like an ink painting scroll jumps in front of you.

Bai Xiu can't describe its magnificence and beauty in words, just as written in "A Fang Gong Fu" - five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion; the corridor waist is back, the eaves are high and pecked; each hugs the terrain, and the hook is intriguing.

It's really imposing.

Xie Ningyun was very satisfied with the surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is what my great-grandfather left to my father and aunt, and the name of the villa also comes from their name." ”

Bai Xiu suddenly thought, it would be strange if this villa was built by Old Man Xie himself, but it is no wonder that the Xie family can become the leader of Wangcheng, and even affect the entire Chinese politics and economy.

As they spoke, their car drove past several sentry boxes and really entered the gate of Ruoyuan Villa, where the beauty of the village did not need to be repeated, and countless men and women shuttled through it, making the final preparations for this feast.

As soon as he got out of the car, Xie Ningyun led Bai Xiu to the Flying Dragon Garden, which was specially used to meet guests.

The hall is already full of guests and friends, and there is an old man sitting on the main seat of the most eye-catching, although he is full of gray hair, his spirit is still strong, and he looks very majestic, and he thinks that he is the protagonist of today's banquet, the birthday star Gong Xie Old Man.

Everyone present was all prominent, but they complimented Xie Ningyun, and people kept standing up to greet him.

Xie Ningyun smiled humbly, didn't stop, walked straight to Old Man Xie and gave a big salute, then pointed at Bai Xiu, and said meaningfully: "Don't disgrace the mission, I have already brought the person here." ”

Old Man Xie looked at Bai Xiu, tears flashed in his eyes, and he nodded with a smile for a while: "Calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, my parents teach me well......"

Bai Xiu didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the grandfather and grandson were playing, but when he saw a person of such an age praising himself, he was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "You praise it falsely, my character is not as good as Ling Sun Yiyi." ”

"Where, you are much better than him. Old Man Xie waved his hand, and sighed inexplicably, "Alas, in fact, it was ...... back then."

Seeing that he was going to speak at length again, Xie Ningyun made a gesture: "Grandfather, will you let us stand?"

Old Man Xie raised his forehead and said to the people around him, "Where's the chair? Come on, come on, just put it next to me." ”

Bai Xiu was secretly surprised, this old man was different from the rumors, he was quite kind.

Soon the seat was arranged, Xie Ningyun sat down far away from his grandfather, leaving the closer one to him, but Bai Xiu knew that this position was not easy to sit on, just look at the envy in the eyes of others.

The vigilance in his heart gradually emerged, so he simply stopped detouring and asked straight to the point: "I don't know why Old Man Xie asked me to come here?"

Everyone talked about it, in their opinion, Bai Xiu was too ignorant, but Old Man Xie didn't care, he still looked at him with a look of relief: "Like her, too much like ......"

At this time, Xie Ningyun started a round: "You are my friend and a part of today's banquet, of course you have to sit here." ”

The discussion gradually started below, Bai Xiu was a little helpless, even if they riveted their strength and didn't make it clear, he couldn't really block the master's house, so he sat down according to his words.

However, the vigilance in his heart has only increased, after all, the other party is not an ordinary person, and if he puts his posture so low, he is afraid that ordinary people can not afford it.

After they sat down, they chatted a few more words, and the banquet officially began, during which the guests and hosts were happy and laughing, but Bai Xiu knew that things were far from so simple.

Sure enough, at the signal of Old Man Xie, Xie Ningyun stood up and swept his gaze to everyone and spoke: "Today is my grandfather's seventieth birthday, and it happens that everyone is here, and his old man also has news to announce." ”

He smiled meaningfully at Bai Xiu, and then helped Old Man Xie up.

The latter stroked his beard and muttered: "This Ruoyuan Villa was left to them by my delicate and weak daughter, my grandfather, when my son died young, and my little daughter disappeared again, so I took care of it, and now my grandson and grandson have grown up, it's time to return it to them." ”

Of course, everyone understood what he meant, and they all looked at Bai Xiu in surprise.

Old Man Xie smiled slightly, and also motioned for Bai Xiu to stand up: "You are not mistaken, he is the only child of my son Qingyuan, and he is also the nephew of Qingruo, and he is the real owner of this Ruoyuan Villa!"

The voices of surprise were endless, but Bai Xiu, the client, was still a cold bystander, others may not know the situation, but he had already made a judgment in his heart.

Bai Yan had mentioned before that his mother was an undercover agent arranged by Yu Tian in the cultivation world, if her identity was so special, how could she take refuge in it? Not to mention that his mother was not even a human being, how could she be the daughter of this old man.

He didn't know what they were going to do, so it wouldn't be a pie in the sky and a huge fortune would fall on his head for no reason.

However, judging by other people's reactions, this old man Xie seems to really have a daughter named Xie Qingyuan, and even the origin of this Ruoyuan Villa is not a fraud.

If there is indeed some conspiracy behind this, and the Xie family cannot be an unpredictable prophet and arranged all this in advance, then will there be these two possibilities?

The first is that Old Man Xie's daughter was indeed missing, and they searched and found his mother, mistakenly thinking that he was his grandson.

This speculation seems to be very reasonable, but there is a big loophole - how could the power of the Xie family make such a hasty decision, there must be a demon when things go wrong, it doesn't make sense.

There is also a possibility that the old man's so-called daughter Xie Qingyuan is not a real person, but they knew about his mother's existence back then, and for some reason this name has been empty in the Xie family for decades.

This is the most terrifying and complex hypothesis, what kind of purpose is it that will allow this huge family to come to this point for the camp step by step, but just to let his mother be labeled as a member of the Xie family?
