Chapter 31: The Man Who Sent the Killer
"Don't bother, Uncle Payne, that guy should have some kind of special escape ability, and it should be difficult to find."
Xiao Cheng waved his hand again and again to stop Payne, not wanting to make a big deal about this matter.
Turning around and walking out of the alley, when passing by the ground where the little fat man's clothes were ripped off just now, Xiao Cheng suddenly found a jade cicada in the gap between the bricks under his feet, the size of a little thumb.
This is a decorative pendant, which is also carefully carved in the shape of a cicada, and is usually hung on the wrist or neck.
The little fat man fled in a hurry just now, and Xiao Cheng pulled his clothes, so the jade cicada accidentally jumped to the ground.
Picking up the jade cicada, Xiao Cheng observed and looked at it seriously.
This jade cicada is not an ordinary thing at first glance, the moment it starts, Xiao Chengcheng feels extremely comfortable, and he can clearly feel that there is a stream of air rushing into the body, swimming one after another in the muscle groups in the body, as if there are hundreds of hands massaging himself from different angles.
At the first glance of the jade cicada, for some reason, Xiao Cheng always felt a little familiar.
Finally, after seeing a carved 'two' character on the left wing of the jade cicada, Xiao Cheng remembered.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he made a voice that only he deliberately heard, and said, "Second Elder, you are doing death!" ”
Xiao Cheng had seen this jade cicada on the neck of the second elder!
On weekdays, this jade cicada was hung in the innermost clothes by the second elder, and that day Xiao Cheng had a conflict with the second elder in the hall, and he inadvertently swept the jade cicada hidden in the clothes of the second elder.
As an elder of the Xiao family, it is difficult for outsiders to steal things from the Xiao family, not to mention that this jade cicada is still hanging on the neck of the second elder, it is his personal belongings, and it is even more difficult to steal it, unless it ......
It was specially given by the second elder!
The second elder still held a grudge against the incident that day, so he sent a killer to assassinate him, and gave this jade cicada and even more treasures.
"Young Master Cheng, have you found anything?"
Payne walked over at this time and asked respectfully.
"No, let's go home."
Xiao Cheng carefully hid the jade cicada in the palm of his hand, and walked towards the Xiao family under the protection of everyone.
may want to find the killer little fat man and give Xiao Cheng, Xiao Zhan and even the Xiao family an explanation, Payne also left three people nearby to look for him.
After all, there are people in the territory of the Xiao family who dare to assassinate the young master of the Xiao family, and if this spreads, it will be too embarrassing.
……………………
The Xiao family, the residence of the elders.
The three elders were sitting in the room chatting boredly, laughing dryly from time to time.
"Great Elder! Second Elder!! The Three Elders!! ”
A servant hurried into the room, panting and respectfully, "Something's wrong, there's an accident!" ”
"Huh?"
The three elders who were chatting slowly stopped, and the grumpy second elder shouted, "What kind of system is it to be so impatient?" ”
"Second Elder! Subordinates know their mistakes!! ”
The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, and without hesitation, he kowtowed twice on the ground with his head, and the blood came out.
The Great Elder didn't even bother to look at it, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Okay, let's talk about anything quickly!! ”
The servant slowly stood up, took a few steps forward, and said, "Young Master Cheng is back, he just entered the city, and now almost everyone in the entire Utan City knows about it, and the patriarch has personally brought people over to greet him."
The three elders said that as long as Xiao Cheng came back, he would have to come over and report to you quickly, so he ...... just now."
"Xiao Cheng is back? How is this possible? ”
"I heard that there has been a riot in the forest outside the city recently, and the icewing salamander is roaming around in the forest, killing people when he sees them, how can he be so lucky to come out alive?"
"Even if he can come out alive, the people we sent there ......"
"Ahem!"
The third elder was halfway through his words, but the Great Elder interrupted him with a violent cough, turned his head and continued to ask the servant, "Do you know what kind of strength he has now?" ”
The servant hesitated, "This ...... It's not clear...... But something happened when Young Master Cheng came back. ”
"Oh? Something went wrong? Let's hear how! ”
The corners of the Great Elder's mouth couldn't help but hang a smile, and he said.
The other two elders also pursed their lips and smiled, and they all glanced at each other, and they both understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.
"When Young Master Cheng came back, he passed by the Fang Market at home, and suddenly rushed out a little fat man, saying that he admired Young Master Cheng and asked for an autograph, but he used a brush to assassinate Young Master Cheng in front of everyone, which is roughly what happened."
"That's it? Is Xiao Cheng dead or not? ”
The Great Elder stood up from his chair excitedly, looking very concerned about Xiao Cheng.
"Young Master Cheng saw through that killer and beat him away."
"And then?"
And then ...... The killer fled, nowhere to be found. When the patriarch learned of this, he had sent people to search the whole city, but he still hadn't found it. "Damn! What a piece of rubbish! ”
The Great Elder burst into a foul mouth angrily, and he didn't know whether to scold the killer or Xiao Cheng.
He sat back in his chair and shouted impatiently, "Get out, get out of here!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The servant didn't know what he had done wrong, which made the three elders so angry, he only knew that he had to leave quickly, otherwise he might become the unjust death soul of the three elders in anger.
After dealing with it casually, he left the room in a hurry.
That hurried look, it's just fleeing!
After a cup of tea after the servant left, the Great Elder sighed helplessly and asked, "Xiao Cheng's cub is back, what should we do?" ”
"He's definitely looking for revenge on us, so let's just declare a retreat together."
"It's not a long-term solution to hide like this!"
"Why don't we be like the patriarch and greet Xiao Cheng generously?"
"You don't want to live anymore?"
"Second Elder, don't worry!"
The third elder said his thoughts and said, "We just have some small frictions and contradictions with Xiao Cheng, at most, on the day of the divorce, he made a move on us, so that we didn't have a good stage."
If we go to greet him now, maybe the people in the clan will still say that we are the prime minister, and we can support the boat in our belly, and if we don't meet with a junior like Xiao Cheng, we will directly turn a big thing into a small thing.
Anyway, Xiao Cheng didn't know that the killer was sent by us, so it wasn't a big deal at all, and there was no need to be afraid. ”
The Great Elder thought about it seriously, agreed with the Third Elder's opinion, and immediately said, "What you said is reasonable, it's better for us to go over like this than to hide."
Maybe Xiao Cheng will feel moved when he sees us greet him in person, and his resentment towards us will become less and less, and maybe he will be respectful to us in the future. ”
"Then listen to you!"
The second elder nodded lightly.
He always felt a little risky, but he still chose to agree.
Judging from the current situation, it is indeed better to greet generously than to deliberately hide, and it will not be talked about by people in the family.
After the three elders had the same idea, they got up one after another and hurried towards the gate of the Xiao family.
