Hearing that she would never take the initiative to bring up this topic in front of her, Xu Ziyao's face suddenly showed a surprised expression, she had already doubted the true identity of her adoptive father a long time ago.

However, at that time, he always hid himself too well, and coupled with the existence of love between the two, Xu Ziyao was not good at investigating too deeply, so he kept putting this matter on hold.

But there was already a thought in her heart that her adoptive father would never tell her about him, but she didn't expect her adoptive father to take the initiative to come to her today to tell her about it, what is going on?

Restraining the doubts in her heart, Xu Ziyao raised her head lightly and looked at her adoptive father: "Father really didn't tell me anything about you. ”

"I'll tell you the truth." The adoptive father looked helpless: "Actually, I am also in the underworld business." He was half-truthful, kept a lot of things that couldn't be known to Xu Ziyao, and only told her some fur.

Probably because he was worried that Xu Ziyao would question his identity, he hurriedly added: "But you can rest assured, although most of the business I do is not visible, I don't touch those extremely dirty businesses, such as some powders and the like, which I have always stayed away from." ”

The implication is that although he is also mixed in the underworld, he is not in the drug business.

Xu Ziyao really couldn't restrain her surprise this time, she raised her head suddenly: "Father, ...... you"

The adoptive father sighed quietly, and a sad look appeared on his face: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know how to tell you, my business is not very bright, and your identity is such a sensitive existence, so I have always reserved you." ”

This reason sounds like it is true, before Xu Ziyao was in contact with the underworld, she had always been a police officer, and if her adoptive father told him about her, it would indeed have a little impact on the two of them.

However, because her adoptive father's previous performance made Xu Ziyao feel too unstable, she didn't know for a while whether she should completely trust his words.

She frowned and asked the question she was most puzzled about now: "Then why do you want to tell me these things now, father?" ”

The adoptive father pursed his lips and smiled: "Didn't I already tell you before?" My body is getting worse day by day, and I think it won't be long before my limit is reached. ”

"Father, don't say that." Xu Ziyao's first reaction was naturally to comfort him, but her adoptive father, who was sitting opposite her, waved his hand and directly interrupted her.

"Okay, don't comfort me, birth, old age, sickness and death are life attempts, who can escape this law, the reason why I tell you these things now is that I hope that after I die, you will be able to accept all my business."

This news was far more surprising to her than her adoptive father telling Xu Ziyao about him, and she stood up suddenly, and even kicked down her remaining stool with a rapid movement.

But she didn't bother to move the stool now, and she looked at her adoptive father with a puzzled face: "Father, how can you expect me to accept your business?" ”

She originally thought that her adoptive father had already been wary of him, and the things in her hand should not be handed over to her, but directly to Qin Shuang or someone else.

I didn't expect my adoptive father to say like this, was he sincere or was he deliberately testing her?

"You are my adopted daughter, who else can I give my business to you if I don't hand it over to you, and your ability is also something I have seen since I was a child, I am very relieved of you." The adoptive father was very satisfied with Xu Ziyao's expression.

Xu Ziyao pursed her lips and thought for a while, and did not rush to agree to her adoptive father's words, but asked him to give himself a little time to go back and think about it.

"Father, this is so sudden, I don't think I can give you an answer so quickly, I need a while to think about what to do."

"This is as it should be, as it should be." The adoptive father nodded again and again, telling her to go back and think about it carefully, so that there was no need to rush to answer him, anyway, there was still some time.

After Xu Ziyao saw her adoptive father leave, she immediately ran to find Gu Hanqing, this matter was too unexpected for her, she felt that she had to communicate with Gu Hanqing first.

"How could it be so sudden?" Gu Hanqing frowned tightly, and always felt that something was not quite right in his heart.

But from what Xu Ziyao said, it sounds like his adoptive father really wants to hand over the business at hand, maybe he is thinking too much?

"I also think there's something wrong, but I think we might be able to try to take over, maybe this time my dad really figured it out."

Although he felt that something was wrong, in order to prevent his adoptive father from continuing to walk on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, Xu Ziyao still decided to take over his business.

Gu Hanqing also felt that the best way at the moment was like this, anyway, take over those businesses first, stop those projects that are breaking the law and committing crimes, and then talk about other things later.

After making up her mind, Xu Ziyao immediately contacted her adoptive father and told him her decision: "Father, I can accept your business, but I hope you don't do this kind of thing in the future, you should also know that these things are not a good thing." ”

If his adoptive father can really do it and stop taking over these things from now on, Xu Ziyao feels that she and Gu Hanqing can also let him go.

The adoptive father nodded again and again, pretending to be old and frail: "Don't worry, don't worry, after handing over all the business at hand to you, I will naturally not get involved in these things again, and I will have to rely on you to support me in the future." ”

Hearing her words, Xu Ziyao's mood finally relaxed a lot, and it was rare to show a sincere smile to her adoptive father: "That's good, father, don't worry, I will definitely support you well." ”

As long as his adoptive father can no longer do these illegal and criminal things, it is not difficult to give him some money for retirement, Xu Ziyao began to count his assets immediately after taking over his adoptive father's business.

Gu Hanqing stood beside Xu Ziyao, looking at the account books in front of him, his brows were still furrowed: "Did he just hand over all the voices to you so easily?" Doesn't he have any other requirements for you? ”
