At two o'clock in the morning, the lights were on in the villa at No. 32 Yuyuan Road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The yard was full of cars. Groups of people went in and out. The hall gathered the backbone of the Green Gang, the atmosphere was depressing, and no one spoke.

A woman of about thirty years of age hurried to the foyer, with a layer of snowflakes on her body, and when she entered the room, she didn't even bother to take off her coat, and went straight to the study.

"How's the master?" Although he was in a hurry, his voice was calm and unhurried.

"I've been in the study, and I've seen no one." The maid Chunya replied in a whisper.

"Okay, you go to sleep."

"Yes, Second Wife."

Chunya responded, handed the tea and snacks in her hand to the woman, and turned to go downstairs. Walking around the corner, she yawned loudly, not knowing what happened tonight, the Xiao Mansion was in chaos.

Master Xiao paced back and forth in the study alone. There was only one lamp in the study, and a picture of a middle-aged woman was placed on the table. In the dim light, his expression could not be seen clearly. There is a calligraphy and painting on the wall behind him, "The benevolent man is happy with the mountain, the wise man is happy with the water" The words are vigorous and free, and you can know that it is from the handwriting of a famous artist at a glance. There are all kinds of porcelain and jade in the study, all of which are of great value.

But at this time, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the treasure, he was waiting for news.

The woman pushed the door open.

"Master, you drink some tea first."

"Gu Qiao, you're here."

Gu Qiao put down the tray in her hand and took off her coat, the dark purple cheongsam outlined her delicate figure vividly and exquisitely, the bright red nails and her snow-white slender hands were extremely gorgeous, even if she was anxious, the charm on her face did not decrease by half at all.

"No news yet?" Gu Qiao gently poured out a cup of tea, picked out a piece of dim sum and put it in front of Master Xiao.

Master Xiao didn't answer, nor did he look at the tea and snacks. Gu Qiao stopped talking, sat on the sofa and waited together.

There was a commotion in the hall.

Xiao Mingyi appeared at the door, his body was covered in blood, holding his injured arm, and walked in step by step.

Zhang Lie really wanted to go over and help him. But He Zijian grabbed him and winked at him. None of the people present moved, and several seniors didn't speak, so they couldn't just make a move. Everyone knows that he has caused a big disaster tonight, and if you speak for him, you won't get into trouble.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Young Master, the master is waiting for you in the study." ”

Xiao Mingyi nodded.

Entering the study, Xiao Mingyi did not have any nervousness or panic. I remember when I was a child, every time I made a mistake, I would be punished by my father to kneel in the study, and I always felt very scared at that time.

Master Xiao slowly spoke, "Why did you do this?" As he spoke, he stood up from his chair, "Pretending to be the gang leader to give false orders and killing people is a big taboo in the gang." ”

Gu Qiao sat still, and she was more of a bystander about the affairs at home.

Xiao Mingyi didn't answer, he slowly knelt on the ground.

"I didn't ask you to admit your mistake, I asked you why." Although the tone was milder than just now, there was no room for questioning.

"Father, I have nothing to explain. Tomorrow hand me over to the police station, and this matter will have nothing to do with the Xiao family. To repay you for your fifteen years of nurturing me... ”

A "snap" slap sounded clearly. Gu Qiao shuddered slightly.

Xiao Hongsheng, who was standing at the door, was startled, he had never seen his father get so angry.

"Nonsense! I raised you for fifteen years, just to see you die with my own eyes today? Old Man Xiao was angry, "Do you think you are avenging me like this?" Will your wife come back to life by doing this? You're just giving yourself a chance to die for nothing! ”

Xiao Mingyi did not answer.

Master Xiao then asked, "Mingyi, are you really avenging me?" Chai Jiu was protected after his wife's death, why? The bombing was originally instigated by people in the political circles. And Chai Jiu is nothing more than a pawn they use. What's the use of you killing him? ”

"It was because he betrayed you that the eldest lady died in vain. If he hadn't tipped off the news, this wouldn't have happened. Father, he just expected that you couldn't do anything with him, so he would attend the ball, and if he didn't make a move this time, he wouldn't have a chance. ”

"No one is absolutely loyal to me, it's just about taking money to do things. Mingyi, even if it is you, are you willing to listen to me forever? Master Xiao seemed to be able to see the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Mingyi almost bit his lip to bleed.

Yes, he hesitated. On the way back just now, he was thinking that if he left, then all these so-called kindnesses and responsibilities would be gone.

He was firmly shackled and couldn't move.

Since he was adopted by the Xiao family at the age of five, he no longer has the right to choose in his life.

In fact, for this adopted son, Master Xiao really loves him.

At first, it was because he and his wife had no children under their knees, and his wife was worried and depressed about this matter all day long. He was adopted from the orphanage of the church. Unexpectedly, not long after adopting him, his wife became pregnant. A year later, she gave birth to her son Xiao Hongsheng. In this way, the lady will inevitably be close and separate. But judging by the heart, it is also very good to treat him. Master Xiao admires him because he is very much like himself when he was young, humble and polite, and polite. In this family, he has always respectfully called Master Xiao his father and Mrs. Xiao his wife. Show your status in this way. Originally, my wife was very troubled about this matter, and she talked to Xiao Mingyi many times, but Xiao Mingyi just didn't want to change her name, so she had to give up. However, in addition to this, he did not once disobey the orders of the lord and the wife. He remembered everyone's birthday, and every year he gave gifts. Even for his younger brother Hongsheng, Xiao Mingyi will not have a brother's shelf. Because he knows that Hongsheng is willing to call him "brother", which is the greatest kindness to him.

Master Xiao can see that this child is by no means an idle person, although he is humble on the outside, he is very proud in his bones. A few years ago, he gradually brought him into the business field, and he was calm and decisive in case of trouble, and his methods were vicious. He was a confident and even a little conceited child, a man who feared favors and was the most disashamed to be restrained.

Master Xiao cultivated him and had his own plans.

Xiao Mingyi has been in the gang for two years and has dealt with some big and small things in the gang. Although he is too young to convince the public, he can hone it for a few more years, and he will become a great tool.

After all, the Green Gang is not visible, although Master Xiao intends to reduce the conflict between the gang and other bigwigs, but living in troubled times, it is impossible to do business in peace and stability, even if there is a background of the Green Gang, it still can't prevent cold guns. The tree is very popular, and Master Xiao is already a thorn in the side of some people. He's in need of some henchmen right now.

What happened today, Master Xiao was actually not surprised at all.

Mingyi repaid this favor in an almost cruel way, in exchange for his freedom.

Even if it is not today, as long as there is a chance, Xiao Mingyi will definitely be out of his control. It's just that this day came too early.

He was too young to hold his breath.

Mingyi knew that Master Xiao didn't plan to let him go now.

Maybe Mingyi came to him and persuaded him with the love of father and son, and he might be soft-hearted.

But he didn't. So he borrowed the hand of a third party, and this time Master Xiao had almost no choice.

"Mingyi, how do you want me to solve it" Perhaps, it is really the relationship between father and son. Master Xiao, who has always been wise and decisive, actually expects Xiao Mingyi to escape, as long as he escapes, they will break off their friendship. He didn't have to be so embarrassed.

"Surrender". Xiao Mingyi replied stubbornly,

Xiao Mingyi expected that Master Xiao would hand him over to the government, which is why he had to do it himself, and deliberately let go of a bodyguard from Chai Jiu's side to ventilate the news.

Although Chai Jiu has no half-job, he is a close confidant of an important member of the city government.

The Green Gang was bold this time, and actually moved the people in the political circles, if they did not hand over the murderer, the political circles would definitely not let go of the Xiao Group.

Even if Master Xiao protects him again, he will never be an enemy of the government.

If he had escaped this catastrophe, he would have served a few years in prison, and after he was released from prison, he would have cut off contact with the Qing Gang and the Xiao family and live his own life.

If you can't escape death, you will completely repay this debt with your life and go clean.

It's better than fighting and killing people every day.

Perhaps, on the way back, he should have run away. However, he couldn't do it, there was always something tearing at his heart, and he couldn't escape at all.

"Sir, the chief of police has arrived. Please come over for a moment. The butler said outside the door.

"Got it." Master Xiao came out of the study. Gu Qiao followed out.

Only Xiao Mingyi was left kneeling there alone, quietly listening to the sound of the pendulum on the wall.

"Brother, drink some water." Xiao Hongsheng came in.

He is fourteen years old this year, and he treats Xiao Mingyi like his own brother. He knew about today's events from the mouths of his subordinates. However, he was too young to know what his father and brother thought, and only thought that Xiao Mingyi was avenging his mother, and his father blamed him for being reckless.

"Brother, don't worry. Daddy will save you, you'll be fine. Xiao Hongsheng took out the chicken leg again, "Brother, you must be hungry." This is what I got for you from the kitchen. ”

Xiao Mingyi was very moved, "Hongsheng, my brother may not be able to accompany you in the future, you have to study hard and listen to your father... ”

"Brother, what are you talking about, it seems like we won't see each other again." Hongsheng said with a smile.

"Hongsheng, maybe this time. There is really no return. ”

Xiao Hongsheng stayed where he was, thinking that his father would solve the matter, but he didn't expect his brother's life to be in danger.

Suddenly, Xiao Hongsheng remembered something and ran out quickly. After a while, he came in with a jewelry box.

"Brother, you run. This is Mom's jewelry box. You can use it on the road. Dad is in the front hall now, I'll take the people in the backyard away in a moment, you can go quickly. Xiao Hongsheng said as he pulled him hard.

Xiao Mingyi hopes to be able to watch this younger brother grow up, although he is not a brother, but Mingyi can feel the affection connected to his heart, he stood up and patted Xiao Hongsheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hongsheng, thank you." Thank you for caring so much about me. I can't go, though. ”

"Why?" Xiao Hongsheng was puzzled.

"Because. The Xiao family is kind to me, and if I leave, my father will be in trouble. ”

Xiao Mingyi said word by word.

Master Xiao didn't know when he stood outside the study, and he heard the conversation just now.

He walked quickly into the study and asked Xiao Mingyi to go back to the room to rest first. Then he quickly wrote a letter, took out a box from the cupboard, and called the butler. He instructed the housekeeper to prepare the car and rushed to Nanjing overnight. He wants to use all means to protect Xiao Mingyi.

As for Mingyi's future plans, let's talk about it later.

After the Christmas Eve incident, Qi Jun had a fever the next day, and he has been burning for a week now.

The doctor came to see it, but it was just a common cold.

Of course he didn't know that it was due to fright.

In the morning, Qi Yang had breakfast, brought white porridge and side dishes to Qi Jun's room in person, and asked her to eat.

Qi Jun curled up on the bed, his face pale, and the big rag doll was tightly hugged in his arms.

Qi Yang felt sorry for his sister and touched her forehead with his hand: "Why is it still so hot?"

Qi Jun was awakened and called out weakly. Qi Yang helped her up and fed her with a spoon of water.

These days I have been dreaming in a daze, and I always dream of the scene of that day. I dreamed that Xiao Mingyi was beaten to death, or she was beaten to death, and when she woke up, she was sweating and weak.

The maid brought the newspaper, and when Qi Yang saw the cover, he couldn't help but reproach Qi Jun: "The place where the accident happened on Christmas Day was on the street where you and your classmates were partying." How dangerous! Now that the situation is turbulent, and you still go out so late, I really don't know what to say about you. ”

"Also, you've been lying down for a week, and if you don't walk on the ground anymore, your physique is even weaker."

Qi Jun drank the water silently without squeaking, if he let his brother know that he was at the scene and escaped with the parties to the case, he would not want to go out in this life.

I don't know what happened to the case. Isn't it normal for gangsters to fight and kill, anyway, they are all bad people.

But thinking about the first time she and Mingyi met, no matter how you look at it, you feel that he is not a bad person.

"It's been a week, and the case hasn't been solved yet!" Qi Yang fed Qi Jun a bite of porridge.

"It is also said that the suspect is suspected to be the eldest young master of the Xiao family," Qi Jun's heart chuckled.

"Shouldn't it, his family has a big business, do you really have to do it yourself?" Qi Jun pretended to be calm. She suddenly felt that she was consciously protecting Mingyi, and the two of them ran out together that night, would there be a police officer who found out about this problem and came to the house to investigate? The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, so I simply stopped eating and continued to sleep under the quilt. Qi Yang had no choice but to give up and let her go to sleep.

Qi Jun didn't fall asleep at all, she thought through all the questions that the police might ask, and thought about how to answer them. He's not a bad guy, is he? But he has a gun. He's still a gangster, but he didn't care about running for his life and rescued her. The questions were tangled together and had been swirling in Qi Jun's mind.

However, these questions will not haunt her for long, because she got the news today that her brother is going to study in France.
