I smiled lightly, "Zhou Yan......"
Xiao Guosheng was stunned, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"It's nothing, Zhou Yan is a good subordinate", I said, "She saw Qingqing's message and has gone back to wait for us." ”
Xiao Guosheng looked at Qingqing, "Look, it's still leaking!" Let you mess with those, useless stuff! ”
For a favored granddaughter like Xiao Qingqing, he scolds so without scruples, you can imagine what kind of treatment Xiao Yingying will be on weekdays. It is really a painful thing for the younger generation to have such a patriarch of the emperor.
"Xiao Lao, don't scold Qingqing, she is already very uncomfortable in her heart", I said, "That's fine, with Zhou Yan, some things are easier to do." ”
"But didn't you say that this matter can't be leaked?" Xiao Guosheng was worried.
"No, but it's already like this, so let's come and be safe," I said lightly.
The mobile phone rang again, it was a text message from the bank, and the remaining 2.6 million had arrived.
"Old Xiao, how many houses do you have in Beijing?" I put my phone away.
"There are three, one in Changping, one in Chaoyang, and one in Dongcheng," he said.
"Which one is the permanent resident?"
"The one in Chaoyang District, I usually live there", he paused, "Qingqing They also live there, that there is spacious, and I also like to be lively." ”
"Okay, let's go there", I closed my eyes.
More than an hour later, we arrived at a high-end villa area near the East Fourth Ring Road, where the Xiao family's mansion was located in this garden-like complex. Only then did I know that when the market was opened here, Xiao Guosheng bought three buildings in one go, lived in one by himself, and gave the remaining two to the eldest son and the younger son respectively. His second son didn't want a house here, so Xiao Guosheng gave him the house in Dongcheng.
I didn't ask Xiao Qingqing to drive the car back to the garage, but asked her to find a place to stop. Xiao Guosheng was just about to get out of the car, but I stopped him, "Elder Xiao, let's stay in the car and let Miss Qingqing go back." Qingqing, if Zhou Yan is here, you will come out, if she is not here, you will send a text message to your grandfather, and we will go in again. ”
"What does that mean?" Xiao Qingqing was puzzled.
"Lord Xiaolin, do you have to avoid Zhou Yan in this matter?" Xiao Guosheng asked, "If that's the case, it's simple, I'll just let her stay in the company, and she won't dare not listen to my words." ”
I smiled slightly, "It's not a question of whether you listen or not, don't ask, just do what I say." ”
Xiao Qingqing looked at Xiao Guosheng, turned around and got out of the car, and left unhurriedly. Xiao Guosheng's heart became more and more unsteady, he vaguely felt something, but he didn't seem to want to face it, because Zhou Yan meant a lot to him.
"Elder Xiao, I'm worried, there is still some distance from this parking lot to your home, close your eyes and recuperate, you will have a hard time tonight."
Xiao Guosheng was helpless, "Okay then...... Lord Xiaolin, is there something wrong with Zhou Yan? ”
I didn't speak, and when he saw my attitude, he was embarrassed to ask more.
Ye Huan gently took my hand, her palms were full of sweat, I glanced at her, "What's wrong?" ”
"I feel a little uncomfortable when we go for a walk," she said.
"Okay", I nodded, "Xiao Lao, you wait in the car, let's take a stroll." ”
"Okay...... Well, don't go too far", he said quickly.
I took Ye Huan's hand and walked far away, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Ye Huan glanced at me, "I'm not uncomfortable, I just want us to say a few words alone." I don't think there's something wrong with this, this Zhou Yan is not simple, is this town thing from her? ”
"I'm skeptical," I said, looking into the distance, "but she's so young enough to have the skills?" Besides, if you have this ability, why are you still committed to Xiao Guosheng? ”
"Aren't we young?" She asked me rhetorically, "It wouldn't be strange if she was committed to Xiao Guosheng for revenge." The point is that this is too coincidental, she came early in the morning to wait for us, indicating that she knows what we want to do. Even if she wasn't behind it, she must have been involved in it. Lin Zhuo, we have to think about what to do next, just now when I was quiet, I suddenly had a worry in my heart, and I felt a little scared when I thought about it. ”
"What are you worried about?" I looked at her.
"Two people fought, we came to persuade the fight, one of them thought that we were pulling a wrong hand, and in the end they got together, and that person became an enemy with us", she said, "The people of the Xiao family are all cunning, we can't be unguarded, what do you think?" ”
I thought about it, "I'm a little worried, but it's come to this point, and it's not easy for us to get out of it." ”
"The one who calculates Xiao Guosheng is the person around him", Ye Huan said, "This person may not be conspicuous, but his strength is not weak, we are just feng shui masters who do things, first of all, we can't offend people for Xiao Guosheng, and secondly, we can't afford to offend." Lin Zhuo, listen to me, this matter must be postponed. ”
"Delayed?" I glanced at her, "How can you delay it now?" ”
She thought for a while, "If the formation in the Xiao family's house is not broken, will Xiao Yingying's life really be in danger?" The Seven Stars Concealing Sun Method can only allow her to fake her death for twelve hours, and when the time comes, she can be rescued. I mean, don't do anything tonight, get her back tomorrow, and it's over. The other party arranged the formation in the Yin and Yang houses of the Xiao family, and the combined force of the two formations could threaten the Tiangang Jiuqu Ruyi Array. Now that the formation of the Yin Mansion is broken, it is difficult to sound alone by relying only on the Yang House. Let's stop here, save face for each other, and leave a way out for ourselves, isn't that good? ”
"But will the other party give us a way out?" I smiled, "Actually, from the very beginning, Zhou Yan wanted to stop me from doing the Xiao family's Yin Mansion business, and since then I have guessed that she has something to do with this matter." But if she is the mastermind, I really don't know much in my heart. Now that she's doing this, she's explicitly challenging us, and we don't seem to have any choice but to fight. ”
"If you are willing to listen to me, then there is another choice", Ye Huan looked at me, "If Zhou Yan is in this house, let's go in and take her to do this together!" In this case, whether she understands it or not, the problem is not serious. If they really did it, then as soon as the Han Qi and the Dragon were broken, they would inevitably backfire on them. The array of the Broken Sun Mansion is actually good for them as well, and if their meaning is the same as what we think, then it will be broken. If she's here to stop us, you promise me to play stupid once, okay? ”
Ye Huan analyzed and penetrated into it, I had nothing to say, so I had to nod, "Okay, I promise you." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'm really afraid that your wolf-like temper will rush up and make a big mistake regardless of it." ”
I laughed, "You're wrong, the wolf has the most cunning personality and can remain rational no matter what the situation is." Xiao Qingqing hasn't come out until now, I don't think Zhou Yan is here, so it shows that the formation is here. ”
"How can you be so sure?" She frowned, "Do you think Zhou Yan is turning the tiger away from the mountain?" ”
"No, I think she's throwing stones and asking for directions," I sighed softly, "I want to test our attitude." ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"Call her over and break the formation together!"
Ye Huan smiled with relief, "Know right from wrong, know advance and retreat, don't be brutal, this is what makes me down-to-earth, this is a tough man!" ”
To me, it sounds more encouraging, but I use it. I took her hands, "Ye Huan, what about Zhou Yan, I'm not worried." The only scruple in my heart now is what is the relationship between Chu Xiangnan and you, you have to give me a solid account of this matter. In this way, I can free up my hands and feet to do the rest of the work. ”
"Strictly speaking, it doesn't matter, but it does matter," she paused, "Chu Xiangnan is a friend of my master, and he has a good relationship with my father. ”
I nodded, "It's a small circle, but I've always felt that it's not that simple." ”
She sighed softly, "In previous years, I saw him a lot, because he would go to my master every year. At that time, I was just studying mathematics, and he also instructed me, and he was a very kind elder. In my impression, he is a loyal elder, and I really can't figure out why he wants to make such a formation for the Xiao family. And when I thought that Xiao Guosheng killed him, but we did things for the Xiao family, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I couldn't tell what it felt. ”
"I understand", I breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, most of the Xiao family's affairs have been completed, and the rest will be handled by ourselves." ”
Back in the parking lot, Xiao Guosheng hurriedly walked over, "Master Xiaolin, Qingqing sent a text message, Zhou Yan is not here." ”
"Good!" I took out my mobile phone and dialed Zhou Yan's number, and soon she answered, "Hey, Lord Xiaolin, I'm waiting for you to come back in the Xiao family's old mansion." ”
"What are you doing in the old mansion?" I smiled, "The formation is on Chaoyang's side, you rush over right away, I need your help." ”
Zhou Yan was silent for a moment, "Need me...... It's true? ”
"Really, come here!"
She smiled, "Okay, I'll be there soon, thank you Lord Kobayashi!" ”
The last sentence "Thank you, Lord Xiaolin" made me sweat in shock, it was really hanging, if it wasn't for Ye Huan's reminder, I would have been in trouble tonight. Zhou Yanming knew that the formation was not in the old mansion, so he deliberately went there to wait just to see my attitude. If I break the formation directly here, she'll have to find a way to get revenge on us right now. On the other hand, if I call her here, it means that I don't want to be their enemy, and it is tantamount to giving them a step, and the matter is easier to discuss.
If she wants to break the formation, then I will break it, and if she doesn't want to, then I will deal with it and do superficial things. There are high-ranking people among them, and if they want to deal with the problem of backlash by themselves, then it is inconvenient for us to intervene; If they can't deal with it, then we can do it a favor and make a friend.
The matter is very clear, the mastermind behind it is also a member of the Xiao family.
Ye Huan and I are tantamount to doing things for Xiao Guosheng first, and then for the other Xiao family, both horizontal and vertical are their own private affairs, the two of us are outsiders, and if we don't want to be involved, this is the only choice.
"Lord Xiaolin, don't you want her to know? Why did you call her over? Xiao Guosheng was puzzled.
I looked at him, "Did I say I didn't want her to know?" She is your right-hand man, how can the Xiao family's affairs be hidden from her? This girl is good, decisive, smart, capable, and with her help, this thing can be foolproof, and everyone is happy......"
