Chapter 456: Doubt
Xinghui didn't have to look back, and he heard that the person who called him was Bai Youqing, who almost became his brother-in-law. He slowly turned around, not sure if he would be greeted with a hug or a sneer.
The young man who caught the eyes of the stars was tall, thinner than ordinary pink stars, and was wearing the most popular cyan wide-sleeved clothing in Xianglong City, looking elegant and handsome. Xing Guang then remembered that Bai Youqing was no longer the innocent boy who was only a teenager, but had grown into a standard aristocratic youth.
He once again found the face that had haunted him from the other party's eyebrows, and couldn't help but want to ask about his sister's current situation, but as soon as the words came out, it became like this: "Youqing, you have grown up." ”
"Brother Xing, you haven't seen you old." Bai Youqing said as he walked over with open arms. Starlight keenly sensed a hint of hatred in the other party's eyes, but instead of retreating, he rose to the occasion. The two hugged each other, and Xinghui heard Bai Youqing's whisper in his ears: "If it weren't for the fear of causing a riot and not having a good reputation for my sister, I would really like to whip you here with a big-eared scraper right now." Xingguang's heart darkened, and then he felt a pain in his waist, and he felt a piece of flesh being pinched in the other party's hand and pinched hard.
The two let go of each other. Bai Youqing raised his eyebrows with a smile. Xinghui didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly asked, "Is your sister okay?" ”
Bai Youqing looked around and didn't notice that anyone was paying attention to them, but he still lowered his voice and said, "It is worthy of being a criminal investigation master who enjoys a great reputation in the Nether, is it from my attitude towards you that my sister is not doing well?" But this time you guessed wrong. My sister is doing well, her husband loves her very much, and the children are smart and smart. ”
Starlight didn't know what she was like right now. Knowing that Bai Youbi was living happily, his guilt eased slightly, but the news that she was married made him feel stunned. He knew that the reason why Bai Youqing and I had an opinion about him should be because he had self-destructed the family badge procedure in his body back then, and took the initiative to give up the competition for the head of the Star Mansion, and was willing to degenerate to serve in the Nether.
When he went to school in Xianglong City, he fell in love with Bai Youbi, who was a classmate, and the two vowed to stay together. At the time, it didn't seem to be a difficult task. If he hadn't self-destructed the badge later, even if he didn't inherit the position of head of the family in the end, it would have been a sure thing to retain his nobility and inherit a family business only as the son of his star. He didn't have the slightest problem marrying the daughter of the Bai family in this capacity. But then his act of abandoning his aristocratic status put Bai Youbi in a dilemma. Although the Bai family was only a middle-class nobleman, it was impossible for them to agree to let their eldest daughter marry an ordinary citizen who had renounced his aristocratic status. Even so, despite the opposition of his parents, Bai Youbi still decided to follow him to live in the nether realm. But Starlight didn't agree, and he chose to go alone. When he passed through the security check of the Two Realms Passage back then, he didn't find Bai Youbi in the crowd, but he saw the eyes of Bai Youqing, who was more than ten years old, full of hatred.
Because Xing Guang concealed his identity when he was in school, and his relationship with Bai Youbi was quite hidden, this incident did not cause any waves in the upper class of Xianglong City. Only the core members of the Bai family, especially this beloved brother of Bai Youbi, know how hard this incident hit his sister.
Starlight wasn't in a hurry to go to the counter to settle the rent, he wanted to try to untie the old knot. He then asked, "...... her husband's family?" ”
"It's Xizhi, the third son of Xifu. He's in the middle of a battle for the rankings with one of his older brothers and one of his younger brothers. I warn you, don't do anything in the near future......" The two walked out as they chatted.
"Youqing, you know I'm not that kind of person. I know I'm sorry for your sister, and I'm glad to know that she's doing well, at least let my heart that has been hanging let go. I can't wait to do something for her now, how can I hurt her. Is the Xi family the one who started by digging rivers and building irrigation canals? "Xingguang has already guessed the reason why the Bai family and the Xi family are married. The Bai family has been operating a wood processing industry for generations, and the Xi family's project requires a large amount of wood. This type of marriage was common among the aristocracy, in order to establish stronger economic cooperation.
At this time, the two of them had come to a stop at a railing near the cliff at the back of the building. It's very quiet and there are no people around.
"That's right. But the family is no longer just a small family, and the Xi family can already be called Xifu. Fifty years ago, the first mansion on the clouds was built, and now the second one is being built in Jinshan City. Now Xifu is not only building water conservancy projects, they are also involved in runic irrigation, mineral development, grain harvesting ......"
"Wait, what's the concept of runic irrigation?"
"Runic irrigation is to build a network of culverts in the farmland, use the magic power to pump the water from the river or lake to a high place, and then use the water pressure to spray the farmland. This is the project that the boss of the Xi family is responsible for. ”
"Wouldn't that have a conflict of interest with the water house under the rainy sky?"
"Who's to say it isn't! I heard that recently, because of this, there was a murder case planted on the head of the Xi family. It seems that an elite child cultivated by the water government in a remote area is preparing to develop a regional rainwater survey project in the future. But this man was assassinated two days ago. The Shui government has been spreading rumors that the Xi family hired killers to gain the upper hand in the future competition for the commission's recently announced agricultural irrigation innovations. Now this matter is spreading in the upper circles. But this is the business of their boss, and it has nothing to do with my brother-in-law. ”
"Your brother-in-law is in charge of ......?"
"It's mineral development in a special environment. In the past, the projects contracted by Xijia often had to be operated underwater, so a set of procedures for working in a special environment was summarized. More than 20 years ago, when my brother-in-law was chatting with a few friends from the Aviation Administration, he suddenly wondered if he could go deep into space to explore and exploit minerals. Several of them are people with a practical spirit, and they do what they think. So they made a plan, lobbied several big families and big companies, and together they formed a company to start the exploration and mining of space mining. ”
"This kind of space-related project must be approved by the military, right?"
"Of course. For this reason, the military has taken up 30% of the company's shares. ”
Hearing this, Starlight couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Bai Youqing asked.
Xing Guang asked, "Has the relationship between your brother-in-law and the military been a little tense lately?" ”
"No, it won't! My brother-in-law has been very happy lately! I heard him say that the project is going well, has achieved some results, and will soon be profitable. If he had tensioned relations with the military, he would not have been in such a good mood. ”
"Can I talk to him?"
"Brother Xing, my sister is already married, so you will die of this heart. Even if you regain the power to inherit the position of the head of the Star Mansion now, you won't be able to ......"
"Where do you want to go! I want to help your sister and brother-in-law. I think the Creek family may be facing a crisis. You contact your brother-in-law first to see if he is available, and I will settle the call fee. We'll meet at the door in a moment. With that, Xinghui didn't wait for Bai Youqing to answer, and activated the rapid talisman and rushed towards the door of the building. Bai Youqing looked at Xinghui's back in a daze, and after thinking about it, he took out the communication charm and contacted his brother-in-law Xizhi.
After Xinghui came out of the building, he saw Bai Youqing waiting for him at the door, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Will he see me? ”
Seeing Bai Youqing flashing his palm at him, Xing Guang was in good spirits and asked excitedly, "Go now?" ”
"Yes."
"How did you get here?"
"Coming with a flying talisman."
"Single?"
"Two."
"Then I'll return the rental flying talisman, and I'll take yours." With that, Starlight went over and set the talisman he had rented to be returned automatically, and pulled out the money card. He sat on the very trendy flying talisman that Bai Youqing had opened, and the two of them flew towards the city.
