Chapter 10: The Enemy
Since discovering Leia's secret, Xu Yi has finally officially started his career as a guard.
Moyuan City three years later is no different from three years ago, Xu Yi sometimes climbs high and looks into the distance, and can even see the house where his family caught fire three years ago, remembering the joy in that house, as if it is a memory of his previous life.
He sometimes took advantage of his leisure time to find an opportunity to investigate Wang Zhicheng, but he didn't get much useful information, and the only gain during this time was that Xu Yi found that when he was practicing, if he brought that space folding ring, he would be faster when visualizing the Cthulhu armor parts, which was indeed good news for Xu Yi, who was in urgent need of strength now.
As for Leia, she avoided him consciously or unconsciously after that night, so he was now working on his own initiative, and no one was supervising him.
But the peaceful days did not last long, and on this day, a guard in Wang Zhicheng's villa came to inform him, saying that someone was looking for him.
Xu Yizheng was puzzled, because his current identity had no relatives and friends in Moyuan City. Is there something hidden? Thinking of this, he walked towards the banquet hall of the royal villa.
As soon as they met, he understood why the person came to look for him, because this was the fake Xu Yi who was seriously injured and unconscious by the serious injuries he had beaten before. Of course, in the eyes of others, he is the real Xu Yi, the successor of Xu's Pharmaceutical Company and a student of Panshan University.
At this time, I only heard Wang Zhicheng say: "Brother Xu, I already know the grievances between you and my family's guards, or I will make a peace, and this matter will be settled." ”
When the fake Xu Yi heard this, his lungs exploded, he was a figure with a head and a face in Moyuan City and a guard who was a head and a drinker, isn't this a loss of face.
However, thinking of the purpose of this trip, he held back his anger and said: "Zhou Dahai, I did lose the last gamble, but this time I want to re-bet with you." ”
Xu Yi was still worried that there was no progress in the investigation just now, so why not start with the fake Xu Yi to re-investigate. So he said cheerfully: "What gamble? ”
Seeing that he was interested, Xu Yi said with a smile: "Next week, the Beast Roar Arena in which I partner with President Liu of Hanyu Pharmaceutical Company opens, and I want to invite you to have a fight with me in the arena to help the opening ceremony, as long as you go by then, our grievances will be written off." ”
"No, I'm not going to do anything good." Xu Yi said.
Fake Xu Yi was angry in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface and said: "What's good, then it's easy to say, what do you want?" ”
Xu Yi stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "I want an artificial Cthulhu reagent." ”
The fake Xu Yi was startled, peeked at Wang Zhicheng, and whispered to Xu Yi: "Wang Zhicheng told you?" ”
Xu Yi couldn't figure out the internal connection, but it didn't prevent him from cheating Xu Yi, so he whispered: "Then what channels do you think I can know?" ”
Fake Xu Yi thought for a moment and whispered: "Since Wang Zhicheng let you know, then I can give it to you, as long as you have the courage to go." ”
After that, the fake Xu Yi turned around and left with his subordinates.
Waiting for the fake Xu Yi to leave, Leia immediately stepped forward and said, "You are too reckless to be like this, it is difficult to guarantee that they have any conspiracy."
Xu Yi replied: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm sure." ”
Leia looked at Xu Yi's calm face, and then at Wang Zhicheng, she couldn't say too much, so she had to leave angrily.
At this time, Wang Zhicheng stopped him and said, "Zhou Dahai, do you have time, let's talk." ”
This tone obviously did not put Xu Yi as a guard, it seemed that Wang Zhicheng had investigated something and wanted to have a showdown with him.
Then the two entered Wang Zhicheng's study, Wang Zhicheng didn't have any shelves, but invited Xu Yi to sit down, and then made a pot of tea himself, and said to Xu Yi slowly: "I sent someone to check your details, your father is a servant of the Zhou family, and he has stayed in the Zhou family all his life, and you have lived in the Zhou family for twenty-three years, and you have never had any talent in martial arts, just an ordinary Zhou family guard." But in the process of protecting Leia before, I learned from Zhou Zheng and Leia that you made a lot of effort to save Leia from the mouth of the iron-backed bear, and I don't think you are an ordinary guard. ”
Xu Yi couldn't help but relax when he saw that the direction of his investigation was crooked at the beginning, of course, it was also due to Xu Yi's disguise skills were indeed superb, he just chose one of Leia's dead guards that was closest to his physique, so that Wang Zhicheng never suspected that he was a fake.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't speak, Wang Zhicheng continued: "If I guessed correctly, you should directly belong to the Shadow Guard of the head of the Zhou family, all members of this team have an ordinary identity, and they will only show their superb combat ability at critical moments, since the head of the Zhou family sent you to Leia's side, there should be something you want to explain to my son-in-law." ”
Xu Yi was a little stunned when he heard it, he really admired Wang Zhicheng's imagination, but since he could borrow a tiger skin to pull his coat, of course he didn't mind going down the slope of the donkey. Combined with the news he had gotten, Xu Yi said half-concealedly: "The head of the family asked me to tell you, don't get too close to the second son, besides, the artificial Cthulhu Elixir is not a good thing, the side effects are too great, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Wang Zhicheng only smiled bitterly when he heard these words, he married Leia in the first place to take the line of the Zhou family, after all, the Zhou family can be said to be a famous family in the rugged city, so even if he knew that Leia had a bad reputation, he did not hesitate. In the end, he achieved his goal and established a personal relationship with the second son who was in power in the Zhou family, and now the head of the Zhou family asked him to have less contact with the second son, which made him feel that he had worked in vain all these years.
Xu Yi didn't know about Wang Zhicheng's flies and dogs, his old god was drinking tea, looking at Wang Zhicheng who was entangled over there for a long time and said: "Help me tell my father-in-law, I didn't participate in the Xu family extermination case three years ago, so I didn't get deeply entangled with those people, and I was only a little curious about the artificial Cthulhu potion, I got a few bottles from Liu Cheng, and I hope that my father-in-law will know it." ”
Xu Yi was secretly happy when he heard this, and finally got some useful information, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "Who were involved in the Xu family's extermination case back then?" ”
Wang Zhicheng didn't think much about it, and said simply: "As far as I know, there are Xu Weiran's former friend Liu Cheng, and Yue Donglai, the director of the garrison. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhicheng paused and said cautiously: "The second son of the Zhou family seems to be also involved. ”
Xu Yi didn't expect that his family's extermination case would involve so many people, and even Zhou Madsheng, the second son of the Zhou family, who couldn't be beaten in the craggy city, was among them.
Looking at the pensive Xu Yi, Wang Zhicheng thought back to his words, and wanted to see what he said inappropriately, if he befriended the second son of the Zhou family and hated his father-in-law, it would really outweigh the losses, after all, if he married such a terrible woman, if he couldn't get any benefits, wouldn't he suffer a big loss.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhicheng said again: "My Wang family's goods are sold in the city, and I also ask you to help me talk about it, as long as my father-in-law says a word, my business will not be difficult to do." ”
Xu Yi was amused when he heard it, so he had to say perfunctorily: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
So far in the conversation, Xu Yi understood everything he should have understood, so he planned to leave. Wang Zhicheng saw that he wanted to leave, and finally reminded: "Since you represent my father-in-law's will, then I can come forward to protect you, Xu Yi He doesn't dare to touch you, after all, his cartilage boy doesn't even dare to avenge his parents' revenge, I just need to put some pressure on him." ”
After carrying another black cauldron, Xu Yi had to put this account on the head of the fake Xu Yi, only to hear him say: "No need, I can solve this matter." ”
Wang Zhicheng no longer dissuaded, but just sent him out of the study.
