"Like me?"

Although what Mrs. Nangong said was a question, she seemed to have an undoubted sense of certainty, and at that moment, her words pierced directly into Xiang Nanxing's heart like a knife. The latter straightened his back nervously, but managed to resist the urge to stand up at the last moment.

"Madame is joking." Xiang Nanxing barely squeezed out a smile, "I heard Xiaoqian say that the people of the Nangong family never drag their feet when they do things. If you do, I'm a dead man. ”

"I'm a woman, and it's understandable that my style is a little different from theirs." Madame looked him up and down with a smirk, "I thought you would move Xiao Qian out more directly." Indeed, after all, you and Xiaoqian are friends who have shared hardships and hardships, and if something happens to you here, she will probably still be sad. ”

"Maybe."

Xiang Nanxing smiled reluctantly, but he was horrified in his heart. This man was terrible, he thought to himself. What he said just now is naturally very particular, the other party is Nangong Qian's mother, no matter what, he will never be indifferent to the affairs of his children. Xiang Nanxing pretended to mention Nangong Qian inadvertently, in order to vaguely guide the other party to think of a problem, that is, the young man in front of him and his daughter knew each other, and the relationship was not shallow, and if he did it rashly, he was afraid that it would cause other problems.

However, while Mrs. Nangong realized this, she also instantly saw through Xiang Nanxing's little tricks. Not only this time, but in fact, from the moment he entered the door to the present, every psychological tactic used by Xiang Nanxing has been seen through by the other party at a glance, and even directly countered back. Regardless of Mrs. Nangong's unclear combat ability, this insight as if she had opened a plug-in alone was enough to make Xiang Nanxing's heart tremble.

She directly said that it was broken to this level, which was actually equivalent to showing that she didn't care, maybe she thought that even if Xiang Nanxing's disappearance would make Nangong Qian sad for a while, it would still be a good thing for her daughter in the long run. But no matter what, this kind of words are usually followed by a turning point, and Xiang Nanxing has unconsciously waited for that "but".

But it's not over yet, it's not over yet.

Even if she suddenly turns her face and attacks in the next second, she should still have something to work on in this second. Xiang Nanxing thought so, and at the same time took a deep breath and relaxed his tense nerves. He grabbed the hands on his knees and then slowly released them, which meant that his body unconsciously adjusted to the most suitable state for all kinds of unexpected situations.

And his brain was running at high speed, trying to find a way out of the situation in front of him.

Madame's "but" has not come out for a long time. For the next few seconds, she looked at him with that smiling expression, but she didn't say a word. The silence seemed to exert more pressure. It was only at this time that Xiang Nanxing's slightly rapid breathing finally calmed down, and in this silence that should have made people crazy, he doubled down on the contrary.

Even at this moment, there were already new plans slowly taking shape in his mind. And yet at this moment......

"It's like that."

Mrs. Nangong's voice suddenly softened. Xiang Nanxing's eyes widened in confusion, but he found that not only did the other party's voice change, but even the aura of the whole person suddenly changed. The gloom that had shrouded his face was gone, and even the hostile sense of oppression was swept away, replaced by a smile as bright as the sun.

"Withstanding the pressure in the face of adversity and fighting back – you really look like her. When I see you, I think of those days. She looked up at the ceiling, her eyes a little empty, as if immersed in memories, "It's been twenty years, time flies." ”

"Who is 'she'?"

Xiang Nanxing asked tentatively, vaguely conjecturing in his heart. Mrs. Nangong looked at him with a smile, her lips opened slightly, and she slowly spit out two words: "Xiang Yun." ”

Xiang Nanxing's back leaned heavily on the back of the sofa, and he exhaled a long breath with the force of this touch. Although before Mrs. Nangong spoke, he also guessed that it was this answer, although these two people are separated by two countries, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible to have an intersection between them.

Xiang Yun is his mother, the captain of the criminal police brigade of the Tianjing City Police Department, and his mother is very busy after he remembers, and there are always several cases of cross-provincial pursuit in a year, and they are gone for several weeks, or even months. Her job is to fight crime, and Mrs. Nangong married into the killer family, and before that, she was very likely to be a person in the killer world. Xiang Yun may have met such a person a few times in the process of handling cases so many times.

"Do you know my mother?" He asked after gathering his mood.

Mrs. Nangong nodded: "Earlier than you knew her." ”

She smiled, and that girlish look appeared on her face again. At this moment, Xiang Nanxing discovered for the first time that the person in front of him and Nangong Qian really had some very similar places.

"About twenty-five years ago, I was a rookie who was a fledgling and trained all over the world. In order to become a fiancée worthy of Lord Tai, I have traveled a lot and experienced a lot of things. Mrs. Nangong said leisurely, "In this, the days in Tianjing are the most dangerous and interesting in my memory. ”

"I see." Xiang Nanxing nodded. Mrs. Nangong doesn't need to be particularly detailed, just by mentioning this, he can guess the plot to some extent. At that time, Xiang Yun was not the captain of the criminal police, but an ordinary criminal policeman who rushed to the front line, and Mrs. Nangong, as she said, was already Nangong Tai's fiancée at that time, in other words, she was already a member of the killer family, and the so-called experience was naturally doing similar things.

When these two characters meet together, Xiang Nanxing can almost play a scene in his mind in which the criminal police chase the killer girl. The lady at that time was probably Nangong Qian's current age, and Xiang Yun's words were about the same as the current Xiang Nanxing. These two people are at an age when they are inspired, but they are also prone to recklessness, and when they meet in opposing states, sparks fly.

"Looking back now, I still miss it very much." Mrs. Nangong sighed faintly, "Later, I went back to Tianjing a few times, and the last time the two of us found a café to sit down and drink coffee, that was the first time we sat down and talked face-to-face, and we sat down for an afternoon. At that time, she was already the captain of the criminal police, and she was a lot more restrained. I thought it was because of the promotion, but she later told me that she was pregnant at that time. ”

Mrs. Nangong took a sip of black tea, and raised her eyes to look at Xiang Nanxing: "At that time, the little life in my belly, I finally saw it today." ”

"Mother's ......"

Thinking of Xiang Yun, Xiang Nanxing couldn't help but lose his mind a little.

Mrs. Nangong smiled: "I'm sorry to scare you." I just couldn't help but see what kind of person her son really was. ”

She continued: "I had already married into my own family before that, and I was supposed to be in the house. That trip to Tianjing was the last time I went out willfully, and I never looked for her since. It wasn't until ten years ago that she came all the way to Nangong's house and asked for me by name......"

"Wait!" Xiang Nanxing was suddenly startled, "Mother has been here?" ”

Mrs. Nangong nodded.

"But ten years ago, I was ...... at that time."

Xiang Nanxing suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking. He frowned and glanced at Mrs. Nangong vigilantly, and then lowered his head, as if thinking about something, his face was extremely ugly. "Ten years ago", it was a special time for him, because one day in the year he was suddenly told that his mother had died. However, the strange thing is that before and after that day, the memories of the most critical days have always been blurred in his mind, and a psychological counselor told him that this is a memory disorder caused by too much impact, but for so many years, this has always been a knot that Xiang Nanxing can't untie.

But he didn't expect that this heart knot would suddenly encounter a clue at this time. He was thinking that his mother actually made a special trip to Nangong's house at that time...... Is there any connection between this?

Seeing his appearance, a trace of doubt flashed on Mrs. Nangong's face. But soon, her brow furrowed again. Obviously, she was somewhat aware of what Xiang Nanxing thought of.

"It's natural to feel weird." She took another sip of tea, "As a criminal policeman, I actually asked for help from a criminal in the legal sense like a killer, which shows that she was really cornered at that time...... Okay, let's not talk about that. ”

She put down the teacup and said with a smile: "You came here in the hope of initiating a game battle against the Nangong family." I'm guessing you've already contacted the host over there in Xifengguo. With the ability of the 'Alternate', this shouldn't be too difficult. As for the content of the game, I'm guessing you've thought about it a little bit before, right? ”

Xiang Nanxing nodded blankly, feeling like a mess. It stands to reason that Mrs. Nangong brought the topic back at this time and took the initiative to mention the game battle, which should be a situation he is happy to see; However, because he was talking about his mother's death when he digressed before, he was very curious about these contents and wanted to know more. For a moment, this curiosity washed away the focus on business, let alone attention to other things. Xiang Nanxing's mind was now full of only how to get more information from the other party's mouth, and he didn't realize that he had drunk the cup of black tea in front of him in the course of this conversation.

"The matter of the game, if the Nangong family is willing to accept the invitation, I think we can discuss and decide together after the host arrives here." Xiang Nanxing said, "During the waiting period, can Madame answer a few questions for me?" ”

He took a deep breath and tried to sort out the logic of the problem from the mess in his head, but the more he tried to think about it, the more confused his thoughts felt. Mrs. Nangong kept sitting opposite him and looked at him with a smile, without saying a word. Xiang Nanxing didn't suddenly react until he felt that his consciousness was a little blurry.

"This ......"

Not only was his confused head, but he felt his tongue knotted, and he couldn't even speak clearly, so he could barely raise his hand and point to the teacup that had reached the bottom. Mrs. Nangong nodded with pity, raised her hand across the coffee table, and gently put her slender fingers on his forehead.

"I'm sorry. Before that, I was first and foremost the wife of Lord Tai. ”

Her fingertips gently brushed Xiang Nanxing's eyelids, made them close, and pressed them a little harder. Xiang Nanxing shook it lightly a few times, but he was no longer able to break free of the control of his fingers. In front of him, the world was already pitch black.

Even consciousness faded away, as if night had fallen.
