Chapter 168: Night Talk

Bad things linger like maggots that eat bones, and one after another things happen on this day, Sikong Yao's emotions are as disturbed as a tangled silk thread, and the more he tries to straighten it out, the more tightly this knot becomes entangled.

Too many things are beyond her reach, the feeling of powerlessness is the most torturous of a person's energy, Sikong Yao, who has been bumpy all day, has no strength to think about these things, every time she recalls it, she has a headache, she simply doesn't want to think about anything, it's better to lie down and rest.

But the more you try to avoid the problem, the more you can't eradicate it completely. After lying down for less than a moment, Sikong Yao still couldn't help but worry. First of all, what puzzled her the most was the third district of the dark street mentioned by Jiang Yuanxing, since that street drag race, Sikong Yao has been secretly investigating the things related to this matter, and the complexity of the gangster's infighting makes her have no idea where to start.

Jiang Yuanxing obviously knows something, even if it is a little bit of marginal information, Sikong Yao wants to know, such an urgent mood is like an ant crawling on his back, itchy and unbearable, he can't catch it, he can't reach it, and he is uncomfortable. But Sikong Yao also understands that cooperating with Jiang Yuanxing is definitely harmful and not beneficial, no matter how much useful information Jiang Yuanxing can provide for himself, Sikong Yao still can't choose to cooperate with Jiang Yuanxing. He is like a cancer in Minghe Restaurant, which will endanger the operation of this store anytime and anywhere.

From the conversation between Li Qing and Tang Yuan, Sikong Yao also knew that the store manager Li Qing was not unable to see Jiang Yuanxing's nature, at least Li Qing's heart was still towards Tang Yuan, but why would Li Qing tolerate Jiang Yuanxing being so presumptuous. made Sikong Yao completely confused. Moreover, Jiang Yuanxing came to invite him to cooperate with him to compete for the test quota of the Holy Food Heart, which showed that Ke Yundan did not take him as a candidate. And Jiang Yuanxing himself didn't know that Sikong Yao and Ke Yundan had reached an agreement, so it can be seen that Jiang Yuanxing's backstage is definitely not Ke Yundan. Case. If Jiang Yuanxing was not brainless, how could he dare to compete with the major academies and mysterious organizations that were inconspicuous? All kinds of reasons made Sikong Yao feel confused, and he couldn't understand the intertwined relationship.

The affairs of the original generation also shocked Sikong Yao to the extreme, if the key of greed was allowed to obtain the test quota of the Holy Food Heart, once they entered the game box original generation to cooperate, this world would usher in an unprecedented disaster. And judging from what Ke Yundan said, the Key of Greed has already been in contact with the original generation, so the enemies that Sikong Yao will face next are not countable.

There are also some past events that Sikong Yao is reluctant to mention, and they have been stinging his heart. Many things cannot be erased by time, and the years may fade their traces, but they will never get rid of the scars engraved on them. Every time I touch it, it hurts like a knife.

Sikong Yao dug his head deep into the quilt, in such a way to escape the problem, and in the end, he could only let out a long sigh and handed it all over to the night.

On the other hand, after Sikong Jian and Sikong Yao briefly said hello, they came directly to Sikong Lu's room.

Sikong Lu was already ready to sleep. Suddenly, when he heard the news of his father's arrival, he immediately sat up from the bed again.

"Dad? When did you arrive, so late? ”

Sikong Jian waved his hand and motioned for Sikong Lu to sit down, and there was no need to pay too much attention to the two fathers and sons.

Li Qing sent Sikong Jian to the back of the room. He closed the door with his backhand, and said at the same time: "Chairman, I'll step back first." ”

Sikong Jian nodded. He replied, "Yes." "Dark

Sikong Lu asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you here?" Doesn't it mean that genius has arrived? ”

Sikong Jian looked at his son. He said with a serious expression: "Lu'er, something happened. I'd like to talk to you about it. ”

Sikong Lu nodded, but he was puzzled in his heart, what has to be talked about now, can't it be done tomorrow morning?

Although he thought so in his heart, Sikong Lu naturally wouldn't say it so clearly, he knew his father's temper, so he asked, "Dad, what's the matter?" Can I share it for you? ”

Sikong Jian looked at Sikong Lu, at this time, the person who can be trusted the most is always his own flesh and blood.

"Lu'er, I heard from the housekeeper, Xiao Yao, are you going to attend the opening ceremony of the Heart of the Holy Food this time?"

Sikong Lu's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some confusion: "Dad, are you still angry with Xiao Yao?" It's been so long, and Xiao Yao has returned safely, can't the family do it well and talk about it? ”

Sikong Jian sighed slowly and said, "Lu'er, you go and talk to her and ask her not to participate." ”

"What?" Sikong Lu's brows were twisted together, and his father hurried over to meet him in the middle of the night, just so that he could tell his sister not to participate in the opening ceremony of the Heart of the Holy Food, what was going on?

"Dad, why are you still angry with Xiao Yao, is it necessary to do this?" Sikong Lu's tone raised a few decibels, and even if Sikong Jian was his father, this kind of request was still too difficult for him to accept.

Although Sikong Lu respects her father, Sikong Yao is also her beloved sister. Although Sikong Yao has never mentioned it to Sikong Lu, as an elder brother, she can also know that participating in the Heart of the Holy Food is something that she must do.

Sikong Jian said again: "Lu'er, don't worry about it so much, just do it, go tell your sister and let her settle down a little." ”

Sikong Lu gritted his teeth and said with a difficult expression: "Dad, forgive me for not being able to agree to your request, Xiao Yao attaches great importance to this opening ceremony." ”

Sikong Jian looked at Sikong Lu, and the firmness of his eyes was like a cold cone thorn, making Sikong Lu unable to look at him at all.

Sikong Lu subconsciously avoided Sikong Jian's gaze, he knew that he had lost, so Sikong Jian further said: "Go ahead." ”

Sikong Jian stood up and prepared to leave, but at this moment Sikong Lu also stood up, he couldn't believe that his father came all the way to talk about such a thing. Is he still angry with his sister? That's going too far.

Sikong Lu mustered up his courage and shouted, "Can you tell me?" ”

Sikong Jian turned his head and asked coldly, "What did you tell you?" ”

Sikong Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, why are you still angry with Xiao Yao?" Why did you target her so much......"

Sikong Jian snorted, as if mocking Sikong Lu's ignorance, and then said: "I didn't target her, this is for her good, you just do it." ”

Sikong Lu shouted angrily: "Dad, it's been so long, why don't you still refuse to forgive Xiao Yao?" Is it wrong to pursue the life you want? ”

Sikong Lu's mood is constantly changing, and the mood of wanting to protect his sister makes him want to ask for clarification.

Sikong Jian didn't think so, just looked at Sikong Lu, and then said: "Do it, one day you will understand." ”

Sikong Lu shouted: "What do you understand! What the hell are you mad about! Xiao Yao, she loves cooking and has talent, why don't you let her live the life she wants! ”

Sikong Jian's indifferent expression did not change at all, but he said in a deep voice: "I just don't want her to follow your mother's mistakes." ”

"Mother?" Sikong Lu suddenly shook, "Dad, what do you mean by this......"

Sikong Jian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, in short, you believe me, I ...... Forget it, I don't have to tell you too much, you just have to do it, and I won't harm you two brothers and sisters. ”

Sikong Lu suddenly remembered what Ke Yundan said at the Seine restaurant tonight, and his mother's past suddenly came to mind and lingered.

Sikong Lu mustered up his courage and asked, "Dad, Mom, how did she die?" Be...... The key to greed? ”

Sikong Jian's figure that was about to step away suddenly seemed to be stung, as if an electric current was surging through his body in an instant, causing the qi and blood in his body to surge.

For the first time, Sikong Jian showed a stunned expression, even a little hideous.

"How did you know the Key to Greed!"

Even Sikong Lu, who had seen countless big scenes, was taken aback by Sikong Jian's violent reaction at this time, it was like a roar of extreme anger, although it was not too loud, but Sikong Lu still sensed the endless anger in the words.

But Sikong Lu also took advantage of this to strengthen his speculation, and boldly asked: "Is my mother's death really related to them?" ”

Sikong Lu's expression became depressed, and even he showed childlike pain when he mentioned his mother.

Looking at Sikong Lu's gloomy expression, Sikong Jian also felt a nameless discomfort in his heart, cleaned up his emotions, and still said without emotional fluctuations: "In short, for Xiao Yao's good, don't let her attend this event." ”

Sikong Lu nodded, if his mother's death was because of the Key to Greed, then combined with what Ke Yundan said tonight, everything will be clear to Sikong Lu.

"Dad, I know, I'll deal with this matter."

Sikong Jian nodded and turned to leave.

Sikong Lu sighed, and the confusion that had been suppressed in his heart was suddenly unraveled. It turned out that her father was not angry with his sister, but he had been protecting her all the time. It's just that this old-fashioned man doesn't know how to express it.

Sikong Lu laughed a little embarrassedly, ashamed that he couldn't understand his father's heart.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Sikong Jian was stunned for a moment, but still opened the door and walked out.

Sikong Lu shrugged his shoulders, and at the same time, a sentence came from outside the door: "Protect your sister." (To be continued......)
