Ling Xiao was in a very emotional mood at the moment, although he didn't get any exact news, but this was the only clue he had so far, as long as people had hope, they would have infinite motivation. Ling Xiao held the ancient paper in his hand, looked at Wu Qianqian's grandmother and was a little embarrassed, and said, "That, grandma, can you promise me one thing?" Grandma looked at Ling Xiao and laughed, "Silly child, what's embarrassing, grandma can help you, she will definitely help you" Looking at grandma's eager eyes, Ling Xiao said, "This, can you give me this ancient paper?" This stuff might be important to me." Grandma thought that Ling Xiao wanted to say something, and smiled and said, "What's wrong with this, you are Qianqian's friend, and besides, this ancient paper is useless to me, an old woman, and the ancestors didn't say that this thing should be passed down from generation to generation, since it is helpful to you, then you can take it" Ling Xiao didn't expect grandma to agree so happily, and then didn't say anything more "Thank you, grandma". Ling Xiao only said thank you, Zhang Xiaoli and Wu Qianqian on the side were also confused, at this time Zhang Xiaoli jumped up and pulled her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time, today we are eating at your place, I am starving to death alone" Looking at Zhang Xiaoli, who was cute, grandma touched her head lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, grandma, I cook for you every day, no problem" After speaking, grandma asked Wu Qianqian to entertain Zhang Xiaoli and Ling Xiao at home, and walked into the kitchen alone and began to get busy. Usually grandma is a person, because her granddaughter wants to go to school in the city, and she can't always come back to see herself, so this time when she saw her granddaughter bring her friends together, grandma was very happy in her heart, in fact, the old man is like this, they don't need you to bring them any material needs in life, all they want is their children to be with them all the time, probably because grandma is old, the two girls took the initiative to ask to go into the kitchen to help, and Ling Xiao on the side was embarrassed to get up, pretending to shout to go in to help, But he was ruthlessly driven out by an old man and two young people, "Go out, go out, this is a woman's world, what are you doing as a man, stay aside" Ling Xiao smiled embarrassedly, and returned to the room with a familiar look, during the cooking, Ling Xiao kept looking at the ancient paper in his hand, and he didn't know what to think in his head. In fact, there are no very rich dishes in the countryside, but the vegetables and everything are grown by themselves, and they are definitely not comparable to those in the city, and they are absolutely green. After a while, a table of fragrant home-cooked meals was brought out one by one, everyone talked and laughed, eating simple meals, and the atmosphere was suddenly extremely peaceful. After a while, all the meals on the table were looted, it was still the same, Ling Xiao ate the fastest and most urgently, in the process of eating, Ling Xiao said the most is, another bowl, another bowl, time passed quickly, after eating, Ling Xiao said, "This, you have all been busy for so long, the matter of washing the dishes will be handed over to me, no one is allowed to rob me" Ling Xiao's face pretended to be slightly angry. After speaking, she brought the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen neatly, and grandma looked at this somewhat special teenager and said kindly, "Hey, what a good child" After speaking, she looked at Wu Qianqian on the side, Wu Qianqian was a little embarrassed by her grandmother, she knew what her grandmother thought, "Grandma, don't think about it, Ling Xiao and I are ordinary friends." Grandma suddenly smiled, "Silly girl, ordinary friends can also become boyfriend and girlfriend, grandma, the more I look at this little guy, the more I like it, I think this young man is good", hearing grandma's words, Zhang Xiaoli couldn't sit still, and hurriedly shouted, "Grandma, you can't be partial, I also like Ling Xiao, you can ask for a bowl of water in this matter, I compete fairly with Qianqian" After speaking, grandma looked at her granddaughter and said, "Look, what do I say, that good handsome guy must be liked" On the side, Wu Qianqian was completely defeated by Zhang Xiaoli and her grandmother at this time, I don't know if she was shy or what, Wu Qianqian stood up directly and walked to the door, and said before leaving, "Hmph, ignore you." When Ling Xiao was seriously washing the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, he didn't know that his own marriage rights had been exploited by the two young people outside......

It's not early, after everyone said goodbye to their grandmother, Zhang Xiaoli was ready to take everyone back to her father's villa directly, because her father told him that it was best not to stay outside for too long, Zhang Xiaoli also took Ling Xiao and Wu Qianqian back to the villa together, and it didn't take long for everyone to come to Zhang Xiaoli's house, Zhang Xiaoli's villa is really big, the villa is located in the rich area of Guangyan City near the seaside, when everyone arrived at the door of the villa, the gorgeous and luxurious huge villa sat in front of Ling Xiao, At this time, Ling Xiao stood in place and did not move, but Zhang Xiaoli walked in first, and from time to time turned around and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, come in quickly." Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said, "You guys go in first, I'll come in a while" Zhang Xiaoli didn't know what Ling Xiao wanted to do, but she had already arrived at her own house, Zhang Xiaoli was also relieved, at least there should be no danger here, "Hmph, weirdo" After dropping a sentence, Zhang Xiaoli pulled Wu Qianqian into the villa first. After watching the two girls enter the villa, Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, "Come out, don't hide." After that, a black figure suddenly flashed, Ling Xiao looked at the man who appeared in front of him and said with a smile, "You have worked hard with us all the way, but I am curious, your eyes are all looking at me all the way, and you have never left a step, do you care about me very much?" I saw the middle-aged man in black with an expressionless face, "You are really very unusual, very unexpected to me, because you not only discovered my whereabouts, but what surprised me was that you also noticed that my spiritual power has been watching you, how did you do it at a young age?" ”。 Ling Xiao also said disapprerovingly, "It's just a feeling", the middle-aged man in black didn't care too much after listening to Ling Xiao's ethereal explanation, Ling Xiao waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "Say, find me something." The middle-aged man in black was stunned for a moment, for Ling Xiao's expression, he was still smiling just now, and now he has changed seriously for a while, making it difficult for the man in black to adapt for a while, because of the special identity of the man in black, he has never felt that someone is talking to him, making him feel that the other party is very majestic and very tall, even if it is a person who is stronger than himself, because one is his own inner feeling. It's involuntary. "The master asked me to convey a word to you, please go directly to the study to find the master later, the master has something to find you, of course you can't let the eldest lady and her friends know". After speaking, the figure of the man in black flashed and disappeared in front of Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao looked at the disappearing man in black and smiled, "It's not annoying to flash around, and there is no one, what kind of handsome are you playing?" Although I have doubts in my heart, I don't know what Zhang Xiaoli's father is looking for him. But since he was Zhang Xiaoli's father, Ling Xiao wouldn't feel anything, and strode forward into the villa alone.

When Ling Xiao walked into the villa, the old housekeeper who was already wearing a dress greeted him, this person was the Qian Bo that Zhang Xiaoli had said before, at this time, Qian Bo bowed like a gentleman and said, "Hello, Young Master Ling Xiao, the eldest lady has ordered, let me treat you well" Ling Xiao nodded and smiled, "What about Xiaoli and Qianqian?" Chambers replied, "The two young ladies are in the room, and the eldest lady said, let you come in and have a tour yourself, and they will come to you later." Ling Xiao didn't think much when he heard this, and then asked, "By the way, where is Xiaoli's father's study, I have something to look for him" Qian Bo was not surprised when he heard it, he obviously knew that his master was going to meet the white-haired young man in front of him, as a professional housekeeper, Qian Bo knew what he should do. So he whispered, "The innermost room on the left side of the third floor is." Ling Xiao looked up in the direction that Qian Bo said and walked up alone. "Knock knock" At this time, a very male voice came from the study, "Please come in" Ling Xiao opened the door of the study and walked in, "After entering, I saw Zhang Qian at a glance, sitting at the desk waiting for him.

The man in front of Ling Xiao, Zhang Qian, is a very capable and shrewd man, with the passage of time, there are already traces of white hair in his hair, and his eyes reveal a capable and clean eye. Zhang Qian was also stunned, in addition to seeing Ling Xiao from the photo, it was also the first time he saw this teenager face-to-face, looking at the handsome and whiter long-haired boy in front of him, Zhang Qian always felt that the young man in front of him was definitely not ordinary, he was also well-informed and read countless people, but in the face of Ling Xiao, Zhang Qian felt a sense of depression in his heart, feeling that no matter how successful he was in his career, in the eyes of this young man, he was still inferior, which was the most direct feeling from his heart. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the study was a little silent, "Please sit down, you can order as you like here, you're welcome" Zhang Qian seemed to be the first to break this atmosphere, Ling Xiao was not polite, he pulled out the chair in front of the desk by himself, and sat down face to face with Zhang Qian, Ling Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and cut directly to the topic, "You are Xiaoli's father, if there is anything, just say it, I will do my best to help." Zhang Qian didn't know that Ling Xiao was so direct, and the young man in front of him seemed to have a sense of sophistication beyond his own age, Zhang Qian's expression suddenly became serious, he felt the sincerity of this young man, without the slightest pretentiousness, Zhang Qian himself went straight to the point and said. "I think you also know about the previous events, what do you think?" Hearing Zhang Qian's words, Ling Xiao's eyes became sharp, and the whole person revealed a trace of coercion, which was completely different from just now, "If I guessed correctly, it should be the person Gu Ming, the third son of the imperial enterprise, who came to kill me, but I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless, but I have a little doubt, the target of the person who came to chase and kill me may not be just me, because I can also see from the killer's eyes that he seems to be full of killing intent towards Xiaoli." After speaking, Ling Xiao clenched his fists and said, "No matter what his purpose is, one day, he will pay a terrible price." At this time, Zhang Qian, who was looking at Ling Xiao, was also slightly stunned in his heart, feeling that this young man seemed to be very smart, "You guessed right, it is indeed Gu Ming of the Imperial Enterprise who sent someone, but you may not know, in fact, the real purpose of the Imperial Enterprise is not you, but me, it's just that Gu Ming can't command the members of the dark group to attack you, without the old fox behind the Imperial Enterprise secretly making a hindrance, it is impossible for a little gentleman to contact the members of the dark group," Ling Xiao said in surprise, "The dark group?" Speaking of the dark group, Zhang Qian shook his head and sighed, "The dark group, an incomparably mysterious organization, exists in the dark, this organization is all over the world, if you want to say that the dark group is a terrorist organization, it is not counted, the strange thing is that the members of this organization not only take the work of killing people, but also take the work of bodyguards, as long as you can afford the price, anything can be done by them" Ling Xiao heard a strange question "bodyguard?" Wouldn't that lead to a situation of cannibalism? Zhang Qian looked at Ling Xiao and answered his question, "That's right, it seems to be very strange in the eyes of ordinary people, but this kind of thing is very common in the dark group, because the dark group often alternates rankings, in fact, the dark group has a hundred rankings, the top 100 dark groups belong to internal personnel, and the ones after the hundred are peripheral personnel, all the rankings are based on strength, for example, if you ask a member of the dark group who ranks fifty to kill me, but I invite someone ranked thirty to protect me, If the person you brought in can successfully kill me and get rid of the person I hired in the mission, then the 30th place will naturally be replaced, and if my person can successfully protect me and get rid of yours, then his ranking will remain unchanged. It's just that the more you invite people with high rankings, the more expensive it is, in order to avoid the top people in the dark group in order to maintain the ranking, the dark group has a rule, as long as someone can afford the price, those members must accept the task, otherwise they will be cleared by the dark group, the reason for this, the hundred list is constantly changing the ranking, over time all the members in the top 100 list are very terrible, at least I know that the top ten people have never been replaced, of course, not everyone can invite them. Ling Xiao listened to the introduction of the dark group and was interested. I thought that in this seemingly fair and orderly society, there was also an unknown filth in the darkness. "The man in black who followed us today is also a member of the dark group, it seems that he is the member of the hundred list you are talking about?" Ling Xiao looked at Zhang Qian and said, "Yes, he is a member of the dark group ranked ninety-one, and he was invited by me to protect me and my daughter, as for the person who chased and killed you last time, he was not in the ranking, but only a member of the periphery" So I said that Gu Ming of the imperial enterprise did not move the dark group at all.

In fact, I know that you also have doubts in your heart, why did the imperial enterprise deal with me, I just want to tell you that the struggle between me and the old fox Gu Mingxuan of the imperial enterprise started very early, and I have already learned his despicable methods, to be honest, I was very suspicious of Xiaoli's mother back then......" Zhang Qian said Xiaoli's mother was also excited, and tears flashed in her eyes, "Over the years, I have secretly united the small and medium-sized enterprises oppressed by the imperial enterprises to form a large force, and I have been fighting against the continuous invasion of the imperial enterprises. Their goal is very simple, that is, to dominate all the commercial markets in Guangyan City. At the beginning, the strength we formed was not enough for Gu Mingxuan to care, but after a long time, our current strength was enough to fight against the imperial enterprise, so the old fox couldn't bear it. It just took advantage of this little brother's affair that I wanted to strangle my only daughter by the way, so that I had no intention of dealing with them. Since Xiaoli's mother died, Xiaoli is my only relative, for my own affairs, I also neglected to take care of her, but I gave her enough freedom to develop freely, if something happened to Xiaoli, then I would be completely broken. Ling Xiao listened to the ins and outs of the matter, and felt uncomfortable, it turned out that the man in front of him silently endured everything for his daughter.

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, and he asked Ling Xiao with a solemn face, "I just want to ask you a question, I hope you answer me seriously, I won't delve into your life experience, but what I want to ask is, in the back alley of the library, did you kill the man in black on the periphery of the dark group?" Looking at Zhang Qian's serious expression, Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, it's me, if it weren't for the fact that there were still two girls around me who needed protection, I would have been able to kill him in a breath" Incomparable confidence was shown in Ling Xiao's words. Zhang Qian looked at the young man in front of him and shouted "Okay", since this is the case, then I have something to say, our joint enterprise has an important meeting to be held in a week, and this meeting will completely tie us together to deal with the imperial enterprise. However, I received the news that Gu Mingxuan seems to have invited the members of the dark group ranked seventy-seven and some peripheral members to prepare a heavy attack to deal with us, since all our funds have been used for investment, we companies are no longer able to pay a lot of money to invite people from the dark group to protect us, and my only bodyguard is the one ranked ninety-one. As for other small and medium-sized enterprises, some peripheral members are invited. So I'm worried. After speaking, Ling Xiao knew Zhang Qian's intentions, and replied without hesitation, "I know what you want to say, I will do my best to help you, but in the last battle, my own condition had a problem, and I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to accomplish anything without knowing the strength of the enemy, but I can guarantee that at least for you, I can save your life" The reason why Ling Xiao was able to say such things was because he knew that although he had been reduced to a mortal body, But his original perception and combat ability still exist as before, for the current world, Ling Xiao's combat power is enough, and last time it was because Ling Xiao didn't fully understand this world, and there were two girls around him, so he was successfully attacked by the secret group. Nearly cost him his life. But Ling Xiao wouldn't make the same mistake again. Zhang Qian actually had no choice, although he knew in his heart that Ling Xiao was not an ordinary person, but for Ling Xiao's words, Zhang Qian was also a lot more relieved. At this time, Zhang Qian stood up and said, "Then I will thank you in advance, this time it may be dangerous, you are Xiaoli's friend and I respect your choice, if you don't want to, I won't force you, there is still a week before the meeting, you will stay here for a week, I will arrange everything you need for you, but this matter can't let Xiaoli know." Ling Xiao also smiled, "Don't worry, I know the measure, just right, I still have a lot of things I hope you can help me prepare, and then I will write down the things I need and give them to you, if there is nothing I will go down first," After speaking, Ling Xiao walked out of the room by himself. Zhang Qian looked at Ling Xiao who was leaving, and sighed in his heart, at this time, the man in black walked out of the secret door in the study, his expression was still the same respectful, Zhang Qian looked at the middle-aged man in black, "Kui, what do you think of this young man" The man in black nodded and said, "The strength is not below me, and from the moment he came in, he knew my existence" The man in black didn't seem to have too many words, and simply replied to these words. Zhang Qian was also surprised, he knew Kui's strength very well, and people who could be on the top 100 list were not simple people, and now he said such words in Kui's mouth, which made Zhang Qian sigh in his heart, "Hey, I can't help it now, I don't know if my decision is correct, I hope this teenager can bring me help."
