Entering the study, the two sat down one after another, Jiang Lai picked up the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and looked at the few pieces of tea floating in the cup without saying a word.

After a long time, a cup of tea bottomed out, and Ma Zhen grinned, "Mr. Jiang is really patient, I thought you would speak first if you were in a hurry." ”

Jiang Lai said with a faint expression: "I always thought that Qing Manrong was Nuwa's person, but now it seems that she is working for others." entered Nuwa just to find out information. Am I right?"

"If you've guessed everything, why bother asking me. ”

"I just want an affirmative answer. ”

Ma Zhen nodded, "Yes, Qing Manrong has a special mission to join Nuwa, but I don't know the specific situation. To tell you the truth, I've already quit the organization, and according to the rules, I can't interfere to stop internal affairs. However, Qing Manrong once saved my life, and it doesn't hurt to have some things to say to you. ”

"Three years ago, Qing Manrong successfully infiltrated Nuwa, but her status in Nuwa was humble and she couldn't spy on valuable information at all. It wasn't until later that she helped Nuwa do a lot of things that she slowly gained attention. ”

"In the organization, Qing Manrong has always been a person who obeys orders and never violates the rules. However, for some reason, since a month ago, her words and actions have begun to become strange, she no longer reports to her superiors on time, and she has cut off all contact information, no one knows where she is, and no one knows what she is doing. ”

The people above speculated that Qing Manrong probably knew some secrets, so he had such an abnormal behavior. Two days ago, she took the initiative to call me, perhaps because someone was listening, and she said it very secretly. I speculated for a long time before I could barely figure out what she meant. She's discovered some amazing secrets, and ......"

"And what?"

Ma Zhen looked at Jiang Lai meaningfully, "And this secret has something to do with you." ”

Jiang Lai was calm on the surface, but his heart was shocked, and he unconsciously remembered the question left by Qing Manrong in his mind: What is the relationship between Jiang Lai and Nuwa?

He couldn't figure out why Nuwa's matter involved him.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "She didn't tell you the specifics of that secret?"

Ma Zhen shook her head, "She seems to be scared, so she doesn't dare to say it." However, her message is very clear, she wants to pull you in. Although Qing Manrong is a very capable woman, she is not omnipotent. It could be heard from her tone that she was very frightened and confused about the secrets she had. That's why she wants you to get involved and investigate for yourself. ”

"Fear?" Jiang Lai frowned slightly, the Qing Manrong he knew had always been a person who dared to act. Even she was terrified, what kind of secret could that be?

It's just that thinking of what Qing Manrong did before, he is still a little worried, in case this is a game set up by Qing Manrong, then wouldn't he be fooled again.

Seeing that he was thoughtful and didn't react for a long time, Ma Zhen suddenly smiled, "I understand Mr. Jiang's concerns, in fact, you don't have to worry, Qing Manrong will not take advantage of you again and again." Moreover, she asked me to tell you that she was willing to guarantee her sister's life in this matter. ”

"I see!" Jiang Lai nodded.

Qing Manrong cares very much about the safety of the sea quicksand, since she said so, then there should be no problem in this matter.

"Ma Lao, if I want to enter the game, where do you think I should start?"

Ma Zhen pointed to his feet, "Kyoto is the center of power in the entire Chinese country, and many forces are hidden in this city, including Nuwa, just ......"

"Just what?"

"The forces in Kyoto are intricate, and they affect the whole body, among which the four major families are the leaders, and a balance and tacit understanding have long been formed between the major forces, and everyone sticks to the rules and will not easily break the situation. In addition, the local forces in Kyoto are relatively xenophobic, and if outsiders intervene, it is likely to attract the cooperation of major forces. So, you need an identity that stands out for it. If Mr. Jiang doesn't dislike it, he might as well walk in Kyoto as my Ma family. ”

The corners of Jiang Lai's mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble to the Ma family?"

"Don't be afraid!" Ma Zhen smiled meaningfully: "I know exactly who Mr. Jiang is." Although my Ma family has always remained neutral, in the situation of wolves, I don't know how long this good life can last. Sooner or later, our Ma family will also need to make a choice. However, if I am the one who bets on it, I will definitely put the future of the Ma family on Mr. Jiang. ”

"I see!"

"Mr. Jiang, the people in Kyoto are more particular, no matter what you do, you need a reason, do you understand what I mean?"

"Got it!"

After a while, it was getting dark.

Jiang Lai and Ma Zhen, who were full of wine and food, came to the study again to drink tea and talk.

From beginning to end, Jiang Lai kept silent about the organization behind Ma Zhen. Everyone has their own secrets, and since people don't want to say it, there is no need to force it, so as not to make a lot of trouble.

Just as the two were chatting, a burst of brisk footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and before the person arrived at the door, a silver bell-like voice had already entered the study, "Grandpa, I heard that you have a guest today?"

Jiang Lai turned his head to look, and a beautiful shadow immediately appeared in his eyes.

A girl in her twenties, full of youthful atmosphere, full of vitality, a delicate melon seed face, fair and delicate complexion, two willow eyebrows like a curved crescent, bright eyes, pink red lips like cherries, delicate and lovely, full of beauty.

Ma Zhen looked at the girl with a smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you, this is my granddaughter, Ma Xiaowen." ”

"Miss Ma, hello!" Jiang Lai bowed slightly, in greeting.

"Xiaowen, this is Jiang Lai, he is me...... The grandson of a distant old cousin, who just arrived in Kyoto today, you are the same age, so you can get closer to each other in the future. After speaking, Ma Zhen glanced at Jiang Lai embarrassedly, and the latter smiled faintly and disagreed.

Since he has promised Ma Zhen, his identity will naturally be arranged by the other party.

"I'm here again to ask for your help?"

After listening to Ma Zhen's words, Ma Xiaowen's face immediately collapsed. Her grandfather Ma Zhen was born in a small county town, and later worked alone in Kyoto for decades to have the family business he has today.

Looking at the whole of Kyoto, although their Ma family cannot be compared with those big families, they are also considered to be a small power.

Because of this, her grandfather's distant relatives or fellow villagers often came to her door to ask for help, hoping to help their children find a good way out in Kyoto.

Seeing too much, she naturally gets annoyed.

Originally, it was a bit pleasing to the eye in Jianglai, but now the more I look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes. She pouted, not caring about the presence of outsiders, and said with a displeased face: "Grandpa, our Ma family is not a good hall, how can you help everyone." ”

"Presumptuous!" Ma Zhen snorted lightly and feigned anger: "Do you still need your consent to do what Grandpa wants to do?"

"I ......"

Ma Xiaowen wanted to refute, but was stopped by Ma Zhen's slightly reprimanding gaze, and her heart was suddenly aggrieved. From childhood to adulthood, her grandfather has doted on her, and she is reluctant to say even a heavy word, what happened today?

Is it because of that Jiang Lai?

Definitely!

Thinking of this, she turned her head and glared at Jiang Lai fiercely.
