Chapter 262: An Undercurrent Under Calm

On the same day, the renovation team of the Shui family rushed to Baiyu Town, and Ning Xi directly chartered the largest hotel in the town and let them stay until the end of the construction period.

It is worthy of being a high-end brand decoration company, and the designer quickly came up with drawings that made Ning Xi very satisfied according to Ning Xi's design concept.

The next day, the café's upgrade began.

With Gu Tingjun staring there, Ning Xi created at home with peace of mind.

Occasionally, Ning Xi would go to take a look, and each time there were different changes, looking at the dream nest that was gradually taking shape, it really surprised her.

The furniture chosen by Gu Tingjun was also very much in line with Ning Xi's wishes.

In addition to the normal light brown square tables and chairs, a few single sofas were also chosen.

Who says you can't drink coffee alone?

A person, a lamp, a book, a cup of coffee, sitting in the corner, quietly enjoying their own time and space......

Forget about work, forget about trivialities, forget about the troubles of life, and forget about the deceit between people......

At this moment, you are truly yourself......

In about ten days, the café on the first floor was renovated, and the project entered the second phase, that is, the studio on the second floor.

It's better to say it's a studio, it's better to say it's a private café in Ningxi.

There is only a separate office and reception room on the second floor, which occupies one-third of the space, and the remaining two-thirds are still the hall.

In fact, this place should be the place where Ning Xi stays the longest, and she still likes to sit in the hall and draw sketches.

In addition, on the side of the café, there is an additional staircase leading to the second floor, and the door is also open.

At the door hangs the sign of "Nan Powan Studio", which is small and inconspicuous.

This is also what Ning Xi requested, and she didn't want to be too vocal about this identity.

After all, Nan Bowan's fame is too big, and most of his fans are boys and girls, and the fanaticism is really unbearable.

If it's too conspicuous, I'm afraid her studio will become a tourist attraction.

If it weren't for the fact that Sister Yue Wu would come over after a while, worried that she wouldn't be able to find a place in the studio, Ning Xi wouldn't even want to hang the signboard.

The decoration of the studio is relatively simple, and the construction period is naturally much shorter.

Originally, Ning Xi set aside a month to upgrade, but in the end, it only took half of it, that is, half a month.

In the past half a month, the days have been too peaceful, so that Ning Xi almost forgot the existence of Zhao Yibei.

However, what she didn't know was that after she fell asleep, Gu Tingjun went to Qili's room.

"It seems that someone has hung a bounty on the dark web, and there have been three waves in the past few days."

"The dark web? There are three killer organizations on the dark web, with red leaves being the largest, invisible being the second, and poisonous fangs being the third. ”

Gu Tingjun has been on a mission on the dark web before, so he has some understanding.

"These three waves of killers should all come from fangs." Qili is very certain.

In terms of familiarity with the dark web, Qili definitely has the right to speak, after all, he himself is half a person on the dark web.

Fangs, as the name suggests, the professional killers they organize will hide a poison sac in a certain tooth, and if they miss and are caught, they will immediately bite open the poison sac and commit suicide.

Therefore, although the scale of the fangs is not large, it has climbed to the third place on the list of killer organizations with a ruthless style.

"It's because they committed suicide so quickly that they don't have a clue."

"So we can only be more vigilant and more vigilant."

Gu Tingjun got up: "I'll go out." ”

Qili nodded, he didn't ask Gu Tingjun's whereabouts, but he vaguely knew that Gu Tingjun seemed to be arranging something.

In fact, the killers found in the past few days were all caught by Gu Tingjun's people.

He can't do this alone, and he must have a team with excellent quality behind him.

However, this is not surprising, Gu Tingjun's previous identity and experience are all there, even if he is now out of the Gu family, it is normal for him to have some followers.

Since Gu Tingjun chose the first line of defense, then they just guarded this small courtyard.

The key is to be able to guarantee the safety of the young master.

As for the person who hangs the reward of the young master, except for the one named Zhao or something, there will definitely be no one else.

Since the identity of Feng Qingyun appeared, the only person who has had friction is him.

Zhao Yibei, who was insulted in public and made him arrogant, must have a grudge against this, didn't he find some people to close the café before, but he was resolved by the young master.

It is estimated that the conspiracy will not work, so the conspiracy will come.

Called Seli over, Qili instructed him something, and Saili went to Haicheng overnight.

Ning Xi, who didn't know anything about this, slept well.

The café and studio have been renovated and are just waiting to open.

When she came to the courtyard, she saw Gu Tingjun and Qili sitting together, muttering something in a low voice.

Suddenly a little curious, when did their relationship become so good?

tiptoed over, but was noticed by Gu Tingjun before he got close.

"Young master, where are you going to be a thief?"

"Go, go, go! Are you a thief? What are you talking about secretly? ”

Gu Tingjun and Qili glanced at each other, but Gu Tingjun spoke.

"Didn't you ask Qili to go to Chaning Jianye before, of course you have to find me for this kind of thing, no one knows what happened in Haicheng better than the Gu family. You idiot. ”

Hey, why do you still complain about her?

Ignoring Ning Xi's eyes that wanted to hit someone, Gu Tingjun continued: "More than twenty years ago, the Ning family was considered to have small assets, and the Ning Group had just been established, and it was not too large-scale, and it was not famous in Haicheng. ”

But later, the young master of the Ning family, who is also Ning Jianye, suddenly took over the Ning Group, and a large amount of unknown funds were injected into the Ning Group.

Coupled with the operation of Ning Jianye, Ning's Group has become one of the top ten groups in Haicheng.

However, after all, the Ning family lacks a foundation and has no successor, so it can only maintain the status of the Ning Group with difficulty.

"Can you tell me something I don't know?" Ning Xi knows all this, and what she wants to know is whether Ning Jianye's rise has anything to do with Mu Zhuyun.

"Okay, what you don't know is that around the same time, there was a sensational incident in Stony Creek City, a certain eldest lady eloped with someone, and the last place to disappear happened to be Haicheng."

A certain eldest lady eloped with someone?

Ning Xi faintly had some guesses: "Yes, my mother?" ”

"Yes."

"Then my mother's maiden family is ......"

It can't be a herdsman!

Ning Xi looked at Gu Tingjun uncertainly, and Gu Tingjun could also guess Ning Xi's thoughts at the moment, so he nodded: "That's right, it's the one you think." ”

It's really a herdsman!

No wonder, Mu Qianxue wants to investigate her mother and her.

It turns out that Mu Zhuyun is the young lady who eloped with the Mu family, so her grandmother, who only had one side of the relationship when she was a child, is also a member of the Mu family?

But Mu Qianxue didn't know her mother's identity, otherwise she wouldn't have come to investigate them.

In this way, my grandmother did not tell the family about it.
