Just when Xiang Jia was chatting with Zhao Ruozhi with great interest, in the basement of the bar, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and leather shoes, with his hair meticulously kept behind his head, was standing in front of Zhou Yi with his head down.

Zhou Yi frowned and snuffed out the freshly lit cigarette in the ashtray, and asked Boss Sun, "When did you open the bar?"

"Three years ago."

"Who are the people here?"

"Everybody."

With five simple words, Zhou Yi has a general understanding of the place run by Boss Sun.

"Don't be too ostentatious."

"Yes."

"Did anything happen at the end of March or the beginning of April last year?"

"Young Master refers to ......"

"The girl who came with me just now."

Boss Sun immediately realized: "There is a person named Ben, ...... to her" He didn't think about how to phrase it.

Zhou Yi's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, there were too many things that happened that day, if he hadn't mentioned it to him, he thought it wasn't a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Or I was too careless.

"Go look it up."

"Yes."

The cold air in the basement slowly flowed through the room, like a dark that could not be dissolved, and became viscous.

After a long time, Boss Sun saw that Zhou Yi frowned as if he was thinking about something, so he mustered up the courage to say: "Young master, listen to my advice, that girl is not suitable for you." ”

When Zhou Yi heard this, he narrowed his eyes into a line and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "Old Sun, it's not your turn to intervene in my business." ”

"For my sake...... for my lord's sake," he buried his head lower, almost down into the dust on the ground.

I only heard Zhou Yileng snort, and the temperature around him almost fell below freezing: "On this road, the word loyalty is the most useless, you should know better than me." ”

"Young Master!" Just as Zhou Yi was about to leave, Lao Sun shouted: "Master has been waiting for you to go back!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut in front of him.

Lao Sun sat on the ground, his back already soaked in cold sweat. It seems that the young master is ...... Still haven't been able to forgive the master. As for the girl, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

When Zhou Yi returned to the bar, Ruozhi and Xiang Jia were fighting hard. Xiang Jia has a good amount of wine, if so, it will not work. When Zhou Yi saw Ruozhi, she was already unstable in battle, but she was still extremely excited.

Xiang Jia immediately felt the murderous aura emanating from Zhou Yi's body, and tried to sloppy: "Brother-in-law, you're back!" My sister is drunk, take her back. After speaking, he took advantage of Zhou Yi's busy support, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away with a smoke.

"What about those who said they wouldn't drink?"

"My brother is back, happy!" Her face flushed with two flowers, and she looked extremely delicate.

"Can you still walk?"

"Yes! You can even dance! As he spoke, he put his right hand on Zhou Yi's left arm, grabbed his right hand, and prepared to waltz, "I just learned it, it's hot." ”

"Stop making a fuss." Zhou Yi had a serious face, and it was not suitable for pas de deux in a crowded bar. Although he was unhappy, he reflexively hugged Ruozhi's waist.

Ruozhi looked up and smiled contentedly: "My dear prince, let's dance together tonight!" After speaking, she closed her eyes and waited for Zhou Yi's answer.

Looking at the defenseless face in front of him, Zhou Yi's heartbeat seemed to skip a few beats, the music around him stopped abruptly, and everyone waited with bated breath for the arrival of the new year.

"Ten-"

"Nine—"

"Eight-"

"Seven-"

"Six-"

"Five-"

"Four-"

"Three-"

"Two—"

"One—"

"Happy New Year!" Zhou Yi said in her ear in a voice that only she could hear: "I hope you will always be happy." ”

After saying that, he gently took the girl's soft lips, wanting to leave all his warmth to the person in front of him.

Early the next morning, in front of Zhou Yi's desk, there was an old man wearing a long robe and holding Buddhist beads. Although he has gray hair, he is in good spirits and looks to be in his fifties. The indifference in his body makes people awe-inspired.

Zhou Yi casually threw his coat on the back of the chair and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"That's where you work?" The old man replied to Zhou Yi, but asked him instead. "When are you going to go back?"

"You're not welcome here."

"When you're almost done, go back." The old man's tone was incomprehensible, "The troubled waters of the Zhao family's extermination case, you better not wade into the muddy waters." ”

"Do you know anything?"

"All I know is that you can't find anything with the resources you have right now. Now that the case has become unsolved, and the girl has changed her name and surname, there is no need to waste time and effort to do this. ”

The old man's words made Zhou Yi's heart alarmed, how did he know that Zhao Feng's daughter was still alive?

"Are you suspicious of me?" The old man laughed, "You doubt that I am right, although I have not done a few good things in my life, but I can still protect a little girl." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he left, and Zhou Yi only felt a chill in his back. The old man meant that he wanted him to go back as soon as possible to take over the "industry" in his hands, and to find out the real murderer of the Zhao family's extermination case, he must use his connections, if Zhou Yi did not go back, then the old man could put Ruozhi in danger at any time.

Zhou Yi locked himself in the office for a night, no one knew what he was doing, and sent a text message to Zhao Ruozhi early the next morning and came to the old man's house.

It's the same place as it was when I left this year. It's just that when he left, he threw a big fire at the old man, breaking all the fragile items in the house, and it was a mess. Now the broken things have been mended and put back in their place. These antique vases can be repaired if they are broken, but if there is a crack in the relationship between the grandfather and grandson, it will be difficult to repair it as before.

"Sit down." The old man's expression was faint, as if he had expected that Zhou Yi would come back today.

To be precise, the old man is not Zhou Yi's grandfather, but Zhou Yi's grandfather. It's just that the old man only gave birth to an only daughter of Zhou Yi's mother, Qian Yu, so he naturally treats Zhou Yi like a grandson. But the Qian family has always been a very traditional and conservative family, and Zhou Yi's maternal grandfather naturally had no way to get the family tree.

The ancestors of the Qian family made a fortune as bandits in troubled times, and when it came to Mr. Qian's generation, most of the clansmen changed jobs, and Mr. Qian came to City C when he followed his father when he was a child.

At that time, I was not familiar with the people in City C, and it was also difficult to rely on the money left by the previous generation to do some small businesses. Maybe it's a natural temperament in his bones, Mr. Qian began to deal with those people on the road at a young age, so the business is getting better and better. Over the past few decades, a lot of clean and unclean industries have been stained, and they have become a tyrant in City C.

After a long time, Old Man Qian is also getting older, so he doesn't have much heart to manage the people under him. Gradually, the people under his hands began to set up their own sects, and for a while, there were many large and small gangs on the underworld, and the situation was chaotic.

After the reshuffle more than ten years ago to today, in addition to the deep foundation of the water faction in the hands of Old Man Qian, there is also a Zixuan faction that has developed into one of the best gangs in C City. In the eyes of the Water Sect and the Zixuan Sect, the rest of the small gangs can only be regarded as children playing around like children.

When Qian Yu brought Zhou Yi's father Zhou Qifeng home to see the old man, the old man almost died of anger. A doctor who is engaged in criminal investigation research actually wants to marry the daughter of a gang boss. Black and white have always been well water and river water, and everyone is safe, if Zhou Qifeng wants to marry Qian Yu, then Mr. Qian must break off the father-daughter relationship with Qian Yu.

Actually, this is not a good thing. Old man Qian has long had the intention of washing his hands in a golden basin, and his only daughter is also very well protected, and she has not been touched with any unclean things. Qian Yu, like his father, is born with a 12/10 sensitivity to these things, and he grew up in such an environment, although he has never participated in it, he knows everything about the affairs between gangs and the way they act. After being with Zhou Qifeng, it helped him a lot in his research, otherwise he would not have become one of the top figures in the field of criminal investigation.

During the most critical period of their careers, the husband and wife often traveled all over the world to conduct research and give speeches, and the birth of their son became the most inopportune thing. So Qian Yu entrusted his son to Mr. Qian to raise. Old Man Qian was naturally happy, and treated Zhou Yi like his own son. This is why everyone calls Zhou "Young Master".

By the time Zhou Qifeng and his wife had time to raise their son, Zhou Yi, who was only ten years old, had already shown his talent in criminal investigation, and began to follow Zhou Qifeng to study professionally in college. And because he followed Old Man Qian all the year round, he cultivated a body of decisiveness and killing, and tamed a group of subordinates.

When Zhou Yi broke up with the old man, it was another story.

This time the baby grandson came back, and the old man had already sorted out all the things that should be sorted out at hand, waiting for him to take over. Zhou Yi originally thought that the old man would let him take over those businesses that carried people's heads, but he didn't expect that in the past few years since she was away, the old man had almost cleaned up those things.

"I've been wanting to wash my hands for a long time." Old Man Qian smiled faintly, "The property left to you is innocent, you can do it with confidence." I'm finally able to enjoy my old age now. ”

At that moment, Zhou Yi felt that the powerful old man in front of him was really old. When did the corners of his eyes add so many wrinkles, how could the gray hair on his temples be so dazzling, and when did his eyes start to become cloudy? The grandfather who used to protect him in everything is really old.

Old man Qian gave Zhou a USB flash drive: "I have already investigated the incident five years ago, all the evidence is here, you can do it yourself if you want to deal with it." ”
