Chapter XXVIII
As the sky outside the window gradually brightened, Qin Ming and An Zili no longer continued to chat, and began to wash themselves, waiting for Yi Shaodong to pick them up to watch the Yi family's ancestor worship.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Qin Ming?"
As soon as Qin Ming came out of the bathroom after washing his face, a voice suddenly came from the window. He followed the sound and looked over and saw that it was a middle-aged man with kind eyebrows.
"It's me, you're it?"
Qin Ming didn't know how this person appeared here, you must know that with his current hearing, not to mention the sound of footsteps, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a needle falling from the ground, he can hear it clearly. But just now, he didn't hear even the slightest sound.
"I'm the housekeeper here, you can call me Butler Yi."
"Hello Uncle Yi."
Qin Ming didn't dare to slack off, and was busy with respectful salutation.
The housekeeper smiled after hearing this, and then beckoned to Qin Ming, motioning for him to come and sit down. After he sat down, the butler lowered his voice and went straight to the point:
"I know that you and Young Master Shaodong are good friends, and they have experienced a lot of things together during this time, which has helped him a lot.
These things, Young Master Shaodong will talk to me and the head of the family every time he comes back. ”
"He also helped me a lot, so let's help each other."
Qin Ming didn't take the hat buttoned down by the other party, and said matter-of-factly.
The smile on the butler's face remained unchanged as he continued:
"I don't know about things in the family, whether Young Master Shaodong has mentioned one or two things to you.
Now that the Yi family is facing a great disaster, the academy's despicable and insidious means have been exhausted, and the two major families of Chen and Xu have been wiped out one after another. At the moment, not only our Yi family is like this, but other families are also in danger. ”
Qin Ming just listened, and didn't say anything in response, after all, he couldn't give the other party advice, nor did he have the ability to help, so it was better not to say anything and see what the other party wanted to express to him.
"The academy is powerful, and the major families have been declining over the years, so they are powerless to resist at all. The head of the family originally wanted to bow his head and obey in order to keep the family foundation, but after the academy ruthlessly wiped out the Chen and Xu families, there was no room for maneuver.
Therefore, the head of the family decided to announce the dissolution of the family after worshipping the ancestors before the academy was completely killed. But I was afraid that the academy would be wiped out and the Yi family would be completely wiped out, so I sent me to you. ”
Qin Ming didn't expect that the other party would come to find him on purpose, and he actually came to ask him to be a rescuer, he suddenly felt a panic in his heart, and hurriedly refused and said:
"Yi Shaodong is my best friend, so I very much hope that the Yi family can survive this crisis, and I want to do something for my friends.
But I have no background, I'm just a little person with no ability, and I'm still living an extremely difficult life, so I'm really powerless about things here. ”
"Mr. Qin, you may have misunderstood, the head of the family asked me to come to you, not because I wanted you to be an enemy of the academy, but just because I wanted you to help Young Master Shaodong keep some things."
"Since it's for Yi Shaodong, why don't you give it to him directly, but instead want to change hands from me?"
"Because ......"
The housekeeper then roughly relayed what Yi Chuanchen had told him earlier to Qin Ming. Qin Ming was silent for a long time after hearing this, and thought about this matter in his heart.
Seeing Qin Ming's thoughtful expression, the housekeeper thought that Qin Ming wanted to put forward some conditions, so he said happily:
"If you have concerns about this or want to make some requests, we will do our best to accommodate you.
I only hope that you can fulfill your promise today and hand over the things to Young Master Shaodong at that time. ”
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Qin Ming already knew very well in his heart that this was the housekeeper, no, to be precise, Yi Shaodong's father, who had already made plans for the worst.
That's why he wants to leave some savings for Yi Shaodong, so that he can turn the family over one day.
"As far as I know, Yi Shaodong's friends are not just me Qin Ming, besides, we have only known each other for a few months at most, why did you choose me."
Although this is Yi Shaodong's business, he still needs to be cautious, after all, he only knows Yi Shaodong, and he doesn't know much about these people in his family.
He doesn't want to be seen as a fool, as a substitute for the dead, and be tricked around.
"Because Young Master Shaodong once told the head of the family that you are his friend who is worthy of entrusting his life.
So strictly speaking, it wasn't you we chosen, but Young Master Dong who chose you.
The head of the family also promised that if Young Master Shaodong did not survive in the end, then no matter whether the Yi family was still or not in the future, those things would belong to you, and you didn't need to return them. ”
"I'm sorry. I can't help with this. ”
Although Qin Ming wanted to do something for Yi Shaodong in his heart, in his mind, if he really accepted the other party's things, then it would be tantamount to harboring his guilt, and once he was found out by the academy, he would also die.
Although he is now backed by the "supermarket" organization and is also valued by the organization, he does not believe that the organization will expose himself to work hard with the academy because of him.
"Are you afraid that the academy will find out about you?
Don't worry, no one but the head of the house knows that I'm here to look for you, and the little girl outside can't hear what we're saying.
Young Master Dong also didn't know.
Even if the academy really investigates this matter thoroughly, it will only focus on the people on the side, and it will not suspect you as an outsider no matter what. ”
"It seems that you don't know much about the Academy's methods.
Once caught by the Academy, they have a way of knowing even if you don't say anything.
Because they are able to extract people's memories. ”
"We've already thought of this."
The housekeeper smiled, then looked at Qin Ming with blazing eyes and said:
"The academy has a lot of methods, but they can't make a dead man open his mouth at this stage.
I can promise you that after today, you will be the only one who knows about this and knows that it is in your hands. ”
"What do you mean...... What do you mean? After hearing this, Qin Ming suddenly panicked in his heart.
"You're a smart man, I think you should have a clear mind."
"Uncle Nayi......"
"Hey." The butler shook his head, and his expression darkened.
When Qin Ming saw the housekeeper's expression, he had already guessed the answer in his heart.
Yi Chuanchen wanted to exchange his life and death for the peace of the rest of the family. But will the academy really buy it?
The academy's means of extermination, he can be said to understand it very well.
But thinking about it from the level of this matter, there is really no other way, after all, if there is a real war, I am afraid that even this possibility will no longer exist.
Qin Ming's heart was once again stabbed fiercely, because Qin Hengyuan was forced to death by the academy in this way.
Of course, there is Wang Yue, and Nameless, and there are too many people.
