Chapter 22: Stealing the Key to the Study

As soon as she stepped into Du's house, the maid stepped forward and told Du Hengnian that Du Zhenguo asked her to go to the study quickly.

Du Hengnian and Qi Rui glanced at each other......

In the antique Chinese-style study, Du Zhenguo, who wears glasses, is sitting at his desk, concentrating on reading documents.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, I saw Du Hengnian coming over, putting away the documents and putting them in the drawer. With a smile on his face, he said, "Hengnian, sit down!" ”

Du Hengnian was stunned for a moment and said, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?" As he spoke, he sat opposite Du Zhenguo.

"Grandpa wants to tell you about your marriage to Bai Sihan of the Bai family!" Du Zhenguo took off his glasses and rubbed them gently with the glasses cloth.

"Grandpa, I think I'm still young, and I haven't graduated from high school......" Du Hengnian looked forward to Gu Qingning coming to pick him up as soon as possible, and it would be a while to be able to delay it. When she raised her eyes and saw Du Zhenguo's calm and cloudy eyes, she felt that they were a pair of eerie snake eyes, which made her tremble.

"Heng Nian, among the five existing families, which one of them was not engaged at the age of eighteen or nineteen! Besides, being able to marry with the Bai family in the imperial capital is a rare good marriage that our ancestors of the Du family have accumulated virtue and cultivated! Du Zhenguo put on his glasses and said. Grandpa doesn't still ...... for you."

A rapid mobile phone rang, interrupting Du Zhenguo's words. He glanced at his phone, and then at Du Hengnian, who was bowing his head and contemplating. Get up and walk to the other side of the study to get on the phone.

When Du Hengnian listened with bated breath as Du Zhenguo's footsteps gradually disappeared, she quietly turned her face and saw Du Zhenguo on the other side of the study with his back to her.

She quickly looked around at the study, and then her eyes lingered on the string of keys of various sizes on the desk, and her heart was pounding.

She guessed that there must be a key to the study, and the doors of the Du Mansion were the same, so the surface pattern of the lock and the key was also the same, and she could identify which key was the study at a glance by virtue of the key to the door of her bedroom.

She suppressed the heart that was about to jump to her throat, quickly took out the boxy plasticine from her school bag, and pressed the key with trembling hands!

"What are you doing?" Du Zhenguo's voice sounded.

"Ahh Du Hengnian was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the plasticine happened to fall into his schoolbag. Pretending to be calm, he said with a smile: "Grandpa, you scared me so suddenly, I was looking for a mobile phone." ”

Du Zhenguo's sharp eyes were firmly fixed on Du Hengnian, as if he was identifying the authenticity of her words. Then he walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down, and said, "Bai Sihan will come tomorrow, you have to be measured......

"I got it, grandpa." Du Hengnian's voice was still a little trembling at this time.

Walking out of the study, he saw Qi Rui waiting for him at the staircase, and when he saw that there was no one around, he handed the plasticine to Qi Rui, and whispered: "This is the key to the study, remember to match the key, ask for two!" ”

Qi Rui looked surprised, nodded, and hurriedly walked downstairs and disappeared to the door of the Du Mansion.

Since the last jade bracelet incident, Tong Anqian's mother and daughter have indeed converged a lot, and they are no longer-for-tat when they talk to Du Hengnian, and the number of times they meet on weekends is also very rare.

The night spreads into the sky like a dark blue veil, and everything looks peaceful and hazy in the faint moonlight.

In the attic of Dongjin Villa, another nightmare woke Du Hengnian up, she walked to the north window with an unusually pale face, and looked at the black and oppressive woods in a daze, the fog was shrouded, and a familiar sense of fear gradually permeated her body again.

She remembered as if strange nightmares had haunted her ever since she lived in the attic. She didn't understand why she kept dreaming of the man in white? Who the hell is this person? What kind of relationship does it have with yourself?

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through the depths of the woods!

Someone?!

Isn't that forbidden land? Does anyone really have to live there? What kind of person is it? What is the relationship with the Du family? Or that he does not live there, but an intruder......

Unable to figure out the clue, Du Hengnian shook his head and rubbed the corners of his forehead with his hand. glanced at the clock on the wall, at eleven fifteen, Qi Rui shouldn't have slept yet, so she picked up her mobile phone and dialed it, and a lazy voice came from there: "Hey? Is there something wrong with the girl so late? ”

Du Hengnian told the scene he had just seen.

Qi Rui's sleepy eyes instantly flashed with a sharp light. He was right......

In the early morning, the eastern horizon shone with a glimmer of light, and the Du Mansion was already bustling, and the servants were busy decorating the living room.

Qi Rui hurriedly came to the attic, Du Hengnian saw Qi Rui dressed in white, and his heart jumped a little, so similar to the man in white in his dream! Then he shook his head, it must have been the nightmare last night that caused the nerves to be too tense, so he would be in a trance mentally.

"Uh...... Brother Qi, why are you dressed like this? Du Hengnian asked sullenly.

"What's wrong with dressing like this?" Qi Rui lowered his head and looked at his clothes carefully, and asked puzzledly.

"Uh...... Shouldn't all bodyguards wear black? ”

"......" Qi Rui grinned at this time. took out two keys from his trouser pocket and handed one to Du Hengnian.

Then, the smile disappeared, and he frowned and said, "As soon as the morning dawns, I will go to the ancient mansion, and judging from the rust and ash on the lock, no one has turned it." ”

"That's the way to get over the wall? Is it possible that the person himself lived in an old mansion? Du Hengnian thought and asked.

"The courtyard wall is nearly three meters high, and there must be tools to climb over the wall, I checked all the walls and the surrounding lawn, and there was no anomaly!" Qi Rui said and walked straight to the north window of the attic and said, "If someone lives there, the gate of the ancient mansion is the only way to get out. ”

"Oh, that means there's a secret passage?" Du Hengnian speculated.

"Yes!" Qi Rui's brows furrowed.

At this time, the maid came to knock on the door, reminding Du Hengnian that the second young man of the Bai family was coming soon, and asked her to prepare.

Qi Rui glanced at Du Hengnian, who was dressed in home clothes, and said, "Girl, I'll go down first." ”

"Hmm!" After Du Hengnian saw Qi Rui walk out of the room, he closed the door and locked it.

The love in Du Hengnian's heart is pure and beautiful. She is very resistant to this marriage because of interests, so she dresses casually.

Grab a white casual jacket and put on a pair of ripped jeans, put on white sneakers, and tie up a neat ponytail. This kind of outfit is the most inconspicuous and the most inconspicuous in the eyes of the children of wealthy families.

When she saw Du Hengxuan's eyes full of disdain, Du Zhenguo's face full of displeasure and everyone's shock, she was very satisfied.

Du Jingqi coughed lightly: "Nian Nian, you ......"

Du Hengnian smiled lightly, and saw Qi Rui dressed in black and appeared next to the corridor, the smile in the corner of his eyes was rendered.
