Guan Luo arrived at Yunling Airport in the early morning, and Ye Tan and Lao Mai came to pick up the airport together.

"Where?" The old McDonald driver asked Guan Luo in the back seat.

Guan slightly rubbed his fingers: "Go to the Guan family's old house, I want to go and see Ah Xi." ”

"Going to see Ah Xi so late?"

"Well, it's been a long time."

The speed of the car is even along the way, and the old house of the Guan family is built in a remote suburb. When Guan Zhaorong was still alive, the house was very lively, he begged for three wives before and after, but as soon as the person died, the tree fell and scattered, and the three wives left, leaving only Ah Xi.

Ah Xi is the son of the third wife and the only son of Guan Zhaorong in the world, but unfortunately he was born with congenital cerebral palsy.

Now that half of the people in the old mansion are scattered, Guan Luo has left a few servants and two doctors to take care of Ah Xi.

"Ninth Young Master, why are you here so late?" The maid who was keeping vigil at the door of Axi's room was startled when he saw Guan Luo.

Guan slightly sighed: "Don't make a noise, I'll come over and take a look." ”

The servant opened the door for him, and when he walked into the bedroom, Ah Xi was already asleep. The face of a ten-year-old child can be seen in soft light. The appearance follows his mother, very beautiful, and when he falls asleep, he is no different from ordinary people, who would have thought that he only has the IQ of a two-year-old child.

"How's Ah Xi doing?"

"It's still the same, nothing has changed, but sometimes I make a fuss about asking for my mother." The servant sighed.

Guan Luo didn't say much. He only said, "Please pay more attention to it." ”

"Ninth Young Master, don't say that, it's all our business."

Guan Luo came out of the house, and Lao Mai stood outside the car with him and smoked a cigarette.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to see Ah Xi today?"

"It's been a long time since I've been here, and the old man repeatedly told me to take care of Ah Xi before leaving, and I guess I expected that once he left, Ah Xi's mother would definitely not stay."

Sure enough, Guan Zhaorong's funeral had just ended, and the three wives all packed their luggage and divided their property.

"This is also human nature, the girl was still young at that time, who was willing to stay and be widowed with a son with cerebral palsy." Lao Mai said the truth, "Fortunately, the old man didn't see the wrong person back then, and pushed you to the main position." If you want to be someone else, maybe Ah Xi's situation will be even more pitiful. ”

There's no denying that.

"I'm just keeping my promise, but..."

"But what?"

"Chi Feng has been getting more and more presumptuous recently, Ye Tan has checked all his details in the past few days, including those bad things about him and Su Hongzhi." Guan Luo suddenly changed his words and took a puff of cigarette.

Lao Mai saw the chill gurgling from his eyes at the end of the smoke, like a knife and a blade, sharp and cold.

"Are you going to move over there in Yunnan?"

"It's also time, Chi Feng treats me like a thorn in the flesh, even if I don't pull him out, he will come to pull me out sooner or later."

"Then you can rest assured that Tang Jingcheng will be left there alone?"

"Don't worry about this, at this time, when she returns to Yunling, the situation may be even more dangerous." Guan Luo extinguished the cigarette and turned to look at Lao Mai, who was confused, "Chi Feng still can't figure out what is going on between me and Su Hongzhi. So he didn't dare to move Tang Jingcheng easily for the time being, and I left Ya Cheng by Tang Jingcheng's side, Ya Cheng is still Chi Feng's person, if Tang Jingcheng has another accident in the area under his control, then this time it will not be Fan Qingyan who will be punished for the dead ghost, but he Chi Feng himself! ”

Speaking of Fan Qingyan, he has really been wronged enough in the past few days.

He was helping Chi Feng with errands, and managed to kidnap Tang Jingcheng to the Crystal Palace, but Guan Luo came to the door in person that day, ostensibly to give Fan Lili a gift, but in fact, he asked Chi Feng for someone.

Chi Feng was afraid of revealing his relationship with Su Hongzhi, so he naturally refused to say the purpose of kidnapping Tang Jingcheng, so Fan Qingyan was unlucky and was pushed out by Chi Feng as a target.

Chi Feng's rhetoric that day was: "Fan Qingyan was fascinated for a while, and saw Miss Tang beautiful on the street, so he tied her to the Crystal Palace, it was Uncle Feng who disciplined his subordinates, Xiao Jiu, don't worry, Uncle Feng will naturally give you an explanation!" ”

explained that Chi Feng sent someone to the hotel to find Guan Luo that night, and handed him a box, which contained two fingers of Fan Qingyan's right hand.

Guan Luo didn't expose it, since Chi Feng was still jealous of him, he didn't need to tell the story of the affair between him and Su Hongzhi at this time, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry.

After the autumn, you can take your time and not rush.

It's just that Chi Feng's move may have been deviated, in order not to offend Guan Liu, and he was reluctant to take advantage of Su Hongzhi's side, so he pushed Fan Qingyan out as a gun target, and personally ordered him to cut off two fingers.

Fan Qingyan has a grudge, and this grudge is planted.

A week later, Tang Jingcheng was ready to return to Yunling, and on the evening flight, Ya Cheng drove her to Kunming Airport in person, and wanted to accompany her in, but Tang Jingcheng refused.

"Thank you for taking me to play in Tengchong these days, to be honest, this is the second time I've come to Tengchong, but it's a pity that it's ...... the first time"

I didn't want to think about the first experience, Tang Jingcheng smiled and took out a small piece of jade from his bag.

"I'll send you."

Where did Ya Yu dare to take it, and shirked again and again: "Miss Tang, I can't ask for your things." ”

"Ah, take it, I carved my own hand toy pieces, it's not a valuable thing, you can bring it with you and play with it." Tang Jingcheng stubbornly put the piece of jade in his hand, and Yalan still wanted to return it.

Tang Jingcheng smiled slyly: "You take a look first, see what good things my sister carved for you, maybe you will like it?" ”

Only then did Ya Yu pick up the jade, take a look at the sunlight at the entrance of the terminal, and was so frightened that he directly dragged the jade into the palm of his hand, as if something amazing had been carved on it, and his cheeks were even redder, and then lined with his black skin, looking very simple and cramped.

Tang Jingcheng leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and Ya Cheng was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look at her.

"Okay, how old are you, you always blush at every turn, bring it with you, you have nothing to do in the future, it's a gift from your sister." It was clear that Tang Jingcheng was teasing him, and after teasing, he patted Ya Yu's shoulder.

"If you have the opportunity to go to Yunling, remember to find your sister, I'll go first, goodbye." Tang Jingcheng waved goodbye and dragged his luggage into the terminal.

Ya Yuan, who was ashamed, dragged the piece of jade and stood at the door for a long time.

Tang Jingcheng checked in, checked in his luggage, and became addicted to smoking when he entered the security check, so he went back to find the smoking room.

"Miss Tang......"

Tang Jingcheng was stopped at the door of the smoking room, she turned around, and it was Fan Qingyan standing in front of her.

Fan Qingyan was hospitalized a few days ago, after all, he was cut off two fingers alive, which is also considered a serious injury, but this time the price of two fingers was not paid in vain, he lay in the hospital for a week, and he also figured out a lot of things.

Tang Jingcheng was startled, saw the gauze wrapped around the fingers of his right hand, and asked with a sneer, "What?" Are you still chasing the airport? "It's easy to say, but it's hostile.

Fan Qingyan didn't beat around the bush: "Miss Tang doesn't need to be afraid, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to send Miss Tang off." ”

"Are you so kind?"

Fan Qingyan still smiled and shook his head: "Of course, this is not the only purpose, I came this time to ask about you and Brother Jiu." ”

"You say Guanluo?"

"Yes." Fan Qingyan paused, "It seems that you don't know the identity of Brother Jiu yet, but it doesn't matter, does Miss Tang have time?" Let's find a place to talk. ”

……

The voice broadcast in the terminal began to report Tang Jingcheng's name, and when it was time to board, she was still looking for water to drink everywhere with her vain body.

Finally found the hot water point, took the paper cup and took the small half cup, the hand slipped, and the hot water burned on the foot.

"Miss, do you need help?" The airport ground staff noticed her abnormality and took the initiative to go over to inquire.

Tang Jingcheng raised his sweaty face, his body trembled, and the medicine in his hand was scattered all over the ground.

Fan Qingyan returned to Tengchong from Kunming Airport, and dialed Su Hongzhi's number on the way.

"Master Hong, I'm Aqing from Tengchong."

Su Hongzhi was really stunned when he heard this name, although he knew who Fan Qingyan was, after all, every ticket from Myitkyina needed to pass through Tengchong, and the area around Tengchong was Fan Qingyan who was dotting, but this Fan Qingyan was Chi Feng's subordinate, how could he suddenly cross Chi Feng and call?

Su Hongzhi was a little uncertain, but his tone was still very steady.

"Oh, it's Aqing." The voice on the other end of the phone didn't change much, as if it was not unusual to receive a call from Fan Qingyan, "Is there something wrong with me?" Su Hongzhi asked.

Fan Qingyan haha: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I just want to call you when I'm free, and it's also a sign of filial piety." "The voice is good, waiting for Su Hongzhi's reaction.

Su Hongzhi extinguished the cigar in his hand, looked up and glanced at Su Zhan who was standing in front of him, turned the leather chair a little, and his attitude was very kind: "I have a heart, Tengchong's line I know, you have always been helping Chi Feng with a dot, I know in my heart, and I can rest assured of you." ”

"Thank you Hong Ye for being sure, I must be attentive to helping Hong Ye do things, and I have never made a mistake, but this time I am afraid that I will disappoint Hong Ye" Su Hongzhi was really shocked when he said this, and immediately straightened up from the leather chair.

"Is there something wrong with the truck?"

"No, no, it's not a matter of the goods, it's just... Didn't Hong Ye want to tie up a woman in Tengchong a few days ago, Chi Ye handed this matter over to me, and I also tied it up for you, but I was intercepted by Brother Jiu halfway. ”

"Brother Jiu? Which Nine Brother? ”

"How many more Nine Brothers can there be? Our ninth brother of Jiurongtai! ”

Su Hongzhi suddenly stood up from the leather chair.

"You mean Guan Jiu?"

"Yes, the people under him call him Brother Jiu."

……

Fan Qingyan's phone call can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone: one is to show loyalty to Su Hongzhi, and the other is to provoke the relationship between Chi Feng and Su Hongzhi, at least let Su Hongzhi know that Chi Feng is not 100% doing things for him.

"It seems that this Chi Feng is still afraid of Guan Jiu, something who has no guts!" Su Hongzhi scolded angrily.

Su Zhan saw that his father was displeased, and immediately leaned over intimately and asked, "Dad, something happened in Yunnan?" ”

"Not yet, but Chi Feng, the old fox, has a thief's heart and no thief's guts, and he is still afraid of his superiors to death, and if he continues like this, he will have to stab me sooner or later!" Su Hongzhi threw the mobile phone on the table, suddenly remembered what Fan Qingyan had just said, the cold light in his eyes was killed, and he suddenly asked, "By the way, have you seen the current principal of Jiurongtai?" ”

Su Zhan immediately shook his head: "I haven't seen it, this person is too low-key, and he rarely appears in public, but I know that he is Guan Zhaorong's righteous son before his death, Guan Zhaorong handed over Jiurongtai to him before he died, and many people at the bottom were not convinced, especially the group of old people who followed Guan Zhaorong to fight the country at the beginning, they all felt that he was young and unqualified, and it was not his turn to be the head of Jiurongtai, but he took over Jiurongtai for four years, and he actually sorted out the affairs smoothly, and I don't know if it was clever or ruthless, In short, there are few people below who are not convinced. ”

These are all things that Su Zhan usually heard when he was playing on the road, except for having dealings with Chi Feng, the Su family and the people of Jiurongtai did not have much relationship.

Su Hongzhi was a little confused, so why did this Guan Jiu go to intercept Tang Jingcheng? Could it be that he also fought the idea of that jade unicorn?

"Wait a minute!" Su Hongzhi took out an old photo album from the cabinet behind him, and the photos in the album were all some large and small occasions and activities he had experienced in recent years.

The photo is very old and looks like it was taken years ago.

The background is only black and white, and if you look closely, you can see that it is a snapshot of a funeral, and the lens is full of men dressed in black clothes, all with staring faces.

Su Hongzhi finally fixed his eyes on the man in the lead, the man was wearing a black tweed coat, his head was slightly bowed, and he was holding the portrait of Guan Zhaorong in his hand.

Someone next to him was holding a black umbrella for him, and next to the man stood a woman in a black dress, holding a child a few years old.

"Dad, what is this picture ......?"

"This is Guan Zhaorong's body farewell party a few years ago, in the early years, when Su Fan was just starting, I still had a small relationship with Guan Zhaorong, so I also went to pay respects after his death. This photo was taken at that time, and the person holding the portrait ......" Su Hongzhi pointed to the man in the black coat on the head......

"Dad, I know this man!"

"You know?"

"Yes, some time ago, in the trial of Yang Xi's case, Tang Jingcheng was the main suspect, and this man came to court to make an alibi for her." After Su Zhan's reminder, Su Hongzhi suddenly noticed.

He immediately searched the computer for the news photos of the verdict in Yang Xi's case, and then compared the person holding the portrait in the photo.

"He's Guan Jiu!"

"What?" Su Zhan couldn't believe it for a while, "This is the new principal of Jiurong Tai after Guan Zhaorong's death?" ”

Su Hongzhi's eyes gathered with cold light, and then he recalled what Fan Qingyan said on the phone just now, and put the album together and slapped it on the table: "Ah Zhan, go and check, hurry up and check the relationship between Guan Jiu and this woman!" ”

No matter what purpose he got involved with Tang Jingcheng, Jiurongtai's intervention was a headache for Su Hongzhi.

Tang Jingcheng rested for a few hours in the lounge of Kunming Airport, and his mood stabilized a little.

The airport staff rescheduled the boarding time for her, and she took the next flight back to Yunling.

Tang Jingcheng arrived at Yunling Airport at three or four o'clock in the morning the next day, she came out of the airport, the taxi driver asked her where to go, she stood under the dark sky of the night, and suddenly lost her direction.

"Hey, my name is Guan Luo!"

"I'm not a doctor."

"I have my own small café, if you have time, you can visit my shop."

Tang Jingcheng recalled the entire process of getting acquainted with her during the two hours in the airport lounge, and she felt that there should be something wrong, and she would rather believe that Fan Qingyan lied.

"Hey Miss, are you still leaving? If you don't go, there will be guests waiting for you in the back! The taxi driver had run out of patience, and Tang Jingcheng's eyes drooped.

"Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the big temple lane in the city."

……

Guan Luo heard the ringing of his mobile phone next to his pillow in his sleep, and he glanced at the screen in a daze, showing the word "Tang" on it.

Sleepy woke up all of a sudden, Guan slightly turned the phone to silent, and glanced at Lou Qingxiao lying in his arms, but fortunately she didn't wake up.

Guan Xiao gently moved Lou Qingxiao's arm around his waist, got out of bed, and walked to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Hey..."

There was no sound on the other side of the "......".

Receiving a call from Tang Jingcheng in the middle of the night, Guan Luo had some bad premonitions in his heart, and after waiting for a while, Guan Luo asked again: "What's wrong?" Speak! ”

Tang Jingcheng listened to the sound of breathing over there, and the twilight of the night seemed to be even more boundless.

"Tang Jingcheng..."

"Can you come out for a while? I'm waiting for you at the door of Commander Nine. ”

Guan slightly put away his mobile phone, went back to the room and put on his clothes lightly.

Lou Qingxiao on the bed turned over in the quilt, his brows furrowed, but fortunately he didn't wake up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday was New Year's Day, before he went to Yunnan, he promised Lou Qingxiao that he would try his best to come back to accompany her for New Year's Day, he did it, and he booked a ticket overnight when he found Tang Jingcheng, and flew back to Yunling early the next morning, leaving Tang Jingcheng alone in Tengchong.

He used the excuse that he had urgent matters to deal with when he came back, and he used the excuse of coming back to accompany Lou Qingxiao for New Year's Day, but he knew many things in his heart, and he could only lie to others, not himself.

Between him and Tang Jingcheng, he missed it once, and on the night at the Tengchong Hotel, he almost had to make a mistake for the second time, but fortunately, Lou Qingxiao's phone called, and he stopped it in time, otherwise he was very guilty, how would he deal with the relationship between the three people?

Guan Luo took the car keys and his coat and walked out of the bedroom.

Lou Qingxiao heard a very soft sound of the door closing, the sound of footsteps in the corridor getting farther and farther away, and then the lights of the car downstairs turned on.

She propped up her crippled body and got out of bed, and with little effort, she moved to the wheelchair next to the bed, the wheels rolled to the window, she untied the corner of the curtain and looked out, and the car had already driven out of the wide path of the villa door.

The headlights tightly become smaller and eventually disappear.

"Tang Jingcheng..."Lou Qingxiao silently recited the name in the dark, her eyes dripping, and her five fingers clenched the empty trousers of her lower limbs.

The speed of the car was very fast all the way, and there was no one on the road in the middle of the night, so it only took half an hour to reach the city.

The car drove into the big temple alley, and in the cold night, Tang Jingcheng sat alone on the steps at the door of the Ninth Commander, with her suitcase next to her, and the cigarette butt she smoked at her feet.

Until he heard the sound of a car engine, he opened the door and jumped out.

Tang Jingcheng looked up in the cold wind, and when the smoke cleared, she saw the man walking towards her.

"Hey, girl, can you help!"

"Girl, why are you stunned, pull him up!"

"Still angry? If you're angry, cover me! ”

"Good girl, cheer up!"

"Hey, my name is Guan Luo!"

"I opened my own little café..."

All kinds of fragments were scattered in her brain, fused, and finally exploded into pieces with a "boom". Spit on the top.

Guan Luo had already hurriedly walked up to Tang Jingcheng, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw her sitting on the steps with an abnormal expression.

"What's the fuss you're making here? What are you doing sitting here in the middle of the night? ”

The tip of Tang Jingcheng's nose wrinkled, it was very cold, and he wanted to laugh a little, and finally twisted the corners of his eyes with his hand casually, raised his head and asked.

"Guan Luo, who are you?"
