In the dimly lit hall of the mansion, a figure reclined on the sofa, lazily shaking a goblet full of red wine, the moonlight spilled in with a cool breeze, and there was a sound of footsteps at the end of the European-style corridor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"How's it going?" The young man on the sofa didn't look back, his back to the figure that gradually appeared at the end of the corridor, and he shook his hand with a wine glass and paused, "You know, I'm the only one who can help you now." ”

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the cold moonlight shone on the man's face, and it was dimly clear who he was—Li Tang.

Li Tang leaned on the side of the spiral staircase, frowning slightly, his eyes through the darkness, staring closely at the young man on the sofa: "After the deed is done, I will take your soul." ”

There was silence in the mansion for a while, and the hands of the pendulum clock made a "tick-tock" sound, echoing everywhere, and the young man on the sofa suddenly chuckled: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

"I'm going to see her at the door of the police station before noon tomorrow."

After saying this, Li Tang left, the footsteps gradually faded away, and the people on the sofa did not move for a long time, as if time had stopped.

After a long time, he turned to the moonlight outside the window, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and his voice was a little indescribably strange: "Brother, this time, let the eldest brother protect you......"

Outside the window, a thunderclap struck, and a shower came suddenly.

"Brother Sheng, Ah Ning has been taken away for several days, why hasn't there been any movement at all, it can't be an accident, right?"

Bai Chen had just come back from outside, and saw that Du Sheng was the only one in the shop cleaning up the potted plants, the gray cat nest was dozing on the sofa, and it was stormy outside.

Li Tang is used to doing what I do, even if I don't come back for the night, no one has ever taken it to heart, but Mo Nianning ...... It's been a few days, but there is no news at all, and if it goes on like this, he must stop the business at hand and investigate to feel at ease.

took the dry towel that Du Sheng threw over, and shook the rain on his body, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, recently, he always had a bad premonition, hoping it was just his illusion.

"Don't worry, Nian Ning's ability is not below you and me, if she doesn't come back, there must be a reason for her."

Du Sheng still looked unhurried, and there seemed to be only a few pots of precious flowers and plants in his eyes.

"That's what I said, but if Li Qiusheng really wants to harm Ah Ning, I'm afraid that the open gun is easy to block, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent......" Bai Chen threw the half-wet towel to the sofa, and the cat on it immediately jumped down.

Du Sheng's movements in his hand paused, glanced at the weather outside, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Then it depends on whether he can afford to provoke the soul pawnshop." ”

Although the Soul Pawnshop is not a high-class nobleman, and it does not hold military power in its hands, it can stand in this dark night city for a hundred years, and it must have its advantages.

What's more, the four people in the shop are just four ordinary guys in the pawnshop?

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, the windows were clanging, the lightning pierced the sky, the thunder was everywhere, and the ground under his feet was faintly trembling, and the cat that had just jumped down from the sofa hissed and disappeared into the hall immediately.

"Uncle Wang, is my dad back?"

The huge Li Family Mansion, since a human life occurred a few days ago, has become extremely strange up and down, especially the owner of this family, Li Qiusheng, who can hardly see his figure.

"It's back, it's back, it's in the study." Uncle Wang just came out of the study, holding a broken teacup in his hand, "Eh, miss, the master has not been in a good mood lately, so don't go in." ”

Li Xiaoman's mother had a difficult birth and passed away after giving birth to her, and it was her father Li Qiusheng who brought her up.

Although Li Qiusheng has a lot of money and is also a well-known figure in Night City, he has no intention of remarrying except for going in and out of some Fengyue places. Because Li Xiaoman lost his mother at an early age, for more than ten years, he regarded his daughter as a pearl in his palm and loved him very much.

It's just that the illegitimate child was born out of thin air and died mysteriously, which really made him unbearable, and now, he can't even move the woman in ...... prison!

How could he not be annoyed?

"Got it, Uncle Wang, you go down first." Li Xiaoman glanced at the study, rubbing a yellow envelope sleeve in his hand, and hesitated a few times before pushing the door open, "Dad? ”

When he entered, there was only one light turned on in the room, and Li Qiusheng sat on the sofa near the desk, frowning tightly, his squinted eyes were a little gloomy, and he was fascinated by the lightning and thunder outside, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers.

Ten days ago, it was the same woman who appeared in front of the mansion and told him that there was his illegitimate child on the outskirts of the city.

The letter was suspicious, so he took the child back, and just confirmed his identity and confirmed that it was his good species, the woman sneaked into the mansion for no reason, and took the child's life.

He is also getting older, Xiao Man will marry sooner or later, such a big Li family, someone must take over. That child, no matter how bad he is, is also his heir, and if he puts a little effort into cultivating and cultivating, he may not be worse than those boys outside.

But before it all began, it was snuffed out by that woman.

Soul Pawnshop!

Who did he, Li Qiusheng, have such a big enmity with, and he can use the soul pawnshop to come forward and ask for his son's life?!

"Dad? Father! Li Xiaoman shook Li Qiusheng and hurriedly smoked the cigarette in his hand, "Dad, don't think too much." ”

Li Xiaoman doesn't have much affection for that "brother", he doesn't hate it very much, but he can't say that he likes it, after all, it was born to another woman when his father was young.

Li Qiusheng came back to his senses at this time, his body trembled slightly, and he was about to get angry, but after seeing the face of the person who came, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa: "It's Xiaoman......"

Li Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, sat next to Li Qiusheng, and didn't know whether to hand over the letter to him.

This letter was brought to Li Qiusheng by Duan Huaining in the afternoon.

Li Qiusheng has always disliked Duan Huaining very much, perhaps because he emerged in Night City at a young age and threatened his status, or maybe it was because he couldn't see through Duan Huaining, so he had an indescribable fear and rejection.

Even if he didn't say it on the surface, he made a kind appearance, but in private, he stopped Li Xiaoman and Duan Huaining from communicating more than once.

This letter was specially brought to her by Duan Huaining, asking her to hand it over to Li Qiusheng in person, no matter what was written in it, it was definitely a big deal.

Right now, Li Qiusheng is having a heartache and headache because of the loss of his son, and if something happens, wouldn't it make matters worse?

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, say it if you want to. Li Qiusheng saw that Li Xiaoman's face was a little unnatural, and he guessed what was happening.

"Dad, it's actually nothing, here...... There is a letter from you. Li Xiaoman has never been a person who can't hide any secrets, and all his thoughts are exposed on his face, "It's just that Brother Huaining personally sent ......" (to be continued.) )
