"Uncle, that was Xiao Mo's joke. Because his column novels are written by me every other month, he's a lot more relaxed than he used to be. She replied with a smile. In fact, she really doesn't know what stage Xiao Mo's memory is stuck in, maybe Xiao Mo's acting skills of pretending to be relaxed and amnesiac have reached the level of an actor, he remembers everything, just pretending not to know, haha.
"No, that's not what that kid meant." Father Xiao said with certainty, "Miss Shi Sui, I've always wanted to meet with you to talk about this matter alone. His gaze shifted to Xuanyuan Lan, "May I ask if this gentleman is also a colleague of you and Xiao Mo?" Can you ......?"
Originally, when she heard the words "talk alone", she should have asked Xuanyuan Lan to go out first, but Father Xiao's eyes and Xuanyuan Lan's cold expression made her change her mind. "No, this is my new boss, and I don't think he has anything to do with what your uncle wants to ask."
Xuanyuan Lan gave her a smile of appreciation, turned to Father Xiao and said, "Mr. Xiao, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Xuanyuan Lan, I think your name should be familiar to you." β
Father Xiao's face became frightened, "Xuanyuan Lan of Sikong Hall?!" You are ......"
"Don't worry, I know what your family is doing, but I'm not interested in you or your current situation." Xuanyuan Lan said lightly, "Of course, there are people within the Xuanyuan family who don't think so, but I don't think that there are still people under my command who will carry me behind my back to make some small moves." β
Hehe, it seems that the impact of Miss Liu's incident is not small, and the effect of Xuanyuan Lan's trick is still very effective in the short term. But if it wasn't Sikong Tang's people, would it be the rest of the Xuanyuan family?
Xuanyuan Lan raised her hand and pressed her shoulder, shaking her head slightly. Seeing his uncertain eyes, she guessed that Xuanyuan Lan might not be sure that Xiao Mo's loss of news was related to the Xuanyuan family.
"Our family has left the Xuanyuan family, why are you still staring at us?" Father Xiao suddenly became excited, "My father left because he couldn't stand the behavior of the Xuanyuan family!" β
What did the Xuanyuan family do to make Grandpa Xiao unbearable and leave? Is it a study of immortality using a living person as an experimental sample, or an artificial human project that manipulates genes? Grandpa Xiao didn't have the world Internet in that era, so it wasn't because of the "fog island system" managed by Qin Feng that he couldn't stand it, right?
"If you hadn't secretly taken the research materials out at the time, I don't think you would have had the trouble now." Xuanyuan Lan sighed very lightly and said, "Besides, isn't it you who reported this to us?" Why do you end up complaining about us and the ghosts are still gone? β
Father Xiao's eyes were propped up with surprise, as if he didn't believe what he heard.
She was also surprised, because that incident was the beginning of the strange events of the year in which she was involved! How could Xiao Mo and his family recruit her? Xiao Mo is an only child, if he wants to tell the truth, he won't hide in Tibet, is it Xiao Lao Dad or Xiao Lao Niang? Belch...... Or maybe Xiao Mo, the troublesome head pig brain, sleepwalked and ran to Xuanyuan's house to say it?!
"Zhu Jing-you should know this person, right?" Xuanyuan Lan said indifferently, "For the clues that are actively sent to the door, you don't need to use them in vain, do you?" β
No way? Zhu Jing turned out to be Xiao Mo's relative?! No wonder! - Tsk, her shocked expression must be very stupid, this is Xiao Mo's family's problem, what is she surprised about? She had to calm down.
Xuanyuan Lan glanced at her with a smile, couldn't she think that her idea just now was ridiculous? However, he just said to Father Xiao: "So, the things you want to ask Shi Sui for help have nothing to do with her, and she doesn't even know what kind of people are in her family, so dispel those thoughts as soon as possible." β
It seems that Xuanyuan Lan already understands all of Father Xiao's thoughts, but she has become completely out of the situation. I don't know what Xiao Mo's father wants to do, and what he wants her to help do, why do you think she can help?
"IβI haven't said anything yet." Father Xiao's demeanor couldn't hide his fear of Xuanyuan Lan, and he looked a little guilty.
"Then don't say it." Xuanyuan Lan said coldly, "I will investigate the matter of Ling Lang's lack of news, because he is Shi Sui's friend after all, and Shi Sui will not ignore it, right?" β
Xuanyuan Lan knew that she would worry about Xiao Mo's constant drillingβthough most of the time she thought Xiao Mo was asking for trouble. "Uncle, I want to know what's going on?"
Father Xiao glanced at Xuanyuan Lan jealously, and then said, "As you just said, Xiao Mo didn't go back after work the day before yesterday, and there was no news after that. β
"But Xiao Mo went to work the day before yesterday." She told Xuanyuan, "It seems that he disappeared after work." β
"Why don't you just go to the police? It has been 48 hours since he disappeared, and a case could have been opened long ago. Xuanyuan Lan asked flatly. It's not that Xuanyuan Lan is indifferent, it's just that under normal circumstances, she finds that her relatives are missing, and it is much more efficient to call the police than to look for them blindly.
"Of course I've called the police, it's just ......," Father Xiao replied a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Zhu Jing is also a policeman." She interjected, "Can't Zhu Jing help?" "But Zhu Jingshi's criminal police team, the missing person should be in the hands of the police station, right?
Father Xiao sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, Zhu Jing is also an outlier in our family. After we broke away from the Xuanyuan family, we have always avoided contact with the people of the Xuanyuan family, and only lived some ordinary lives. But Zhu Jing wanted to return to Xuanyuan's house. β
"You're not willing to be ordinary, are you?" Xuanyuan Lan smiled contemptuously.
"Probably yes." Father Xiao said with a frown.
"Stupid." Xuanyuan Lan sneered, "It was precisely because of this that she reported to the Xuanyuan family that you took away those research materials?" But from our standpoint, we should thank her. β
Wow, it sounds like the plot of a spy war drama. And the reason why she was forced to get involved in these strange things turned out to be such a reason that seemed to her to be extremely boring.
"I don't know when the police will find Xiao Mo, if someone from the Xuanyuan family took him away, I'm worried that Zhu Jing will destroy the clues and make the police unable to find anyone." Father Xiao said.
"But uncle, you came to me, and I don't know where to go to find him." When she is GPS, she can locate whoever she wants? If she had to have this ability, she wouldn't be able to get lost when she went out!
"If Xiao Mo falls into the hands of the Xuanyuan family, Sui may be able to find out something at that time." It was Xuanyuan Lan who answered, "But didn't Ling Lang mention to you that Shi Sui, this kid doesn't like to deal with the Xuanyuan family, and just wants to live a peaceful life?" β
If you know what I think, why do you want to drag me into the water to fulfill your so-called "fate"? She glanced at Xuanyuan Lan disapprementedly. Xuanyuan Lan should have heard her thoughts, turned her head and showed her an apologetic wry smile, and she gave Xuanyuan Lan an angry roll of the eyes.
Father Xiao's eyebrows were about to be twisted into Tianjin twist, and she thought that Uncle Xiao couldn't think of a way, and he came to her just to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. "Xuanyuan Lan, will you really help find Xiao Mo's whereabouts?" He said that just now, and now he can only count on him.
Xuanyuan Lan nodded, but said again: "But I won't help with other things." β
"I just need you to help with this." She smiled. However, Father Xiao's face was both relieved and a little unwilling.
