Chapter 240: Negotiations
After deciding on a coping strategy, everyone suppressed their emotions and did not communicate again.
Li Zhenxing sent away all the apprentices and disciples, and invited everyone to his study, where they were relatively silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.
This depressing atmosphere made everyone feel uncomfortable, and after a while, Tang Jia, who had not spoken much, silently walked behind Ye Xun, gave him a look, and motioned Ye Xun to accompany him out to chat.
Ye Xun guessed what Tang Jia was thinking, hesitated slightly, and still followed.
When he came to the open space behind the martial arts hall, Ye Xun looked melancholy, looked up at the night above his head, and felt depressed.
Tang Jia got straight to the point, "Ye Xun, if Zhao Yanan really calls and asks you to use Xiaoyu to replace people, what are you going to do?" ”
This question made Ye Xun speechless, and he continued to be silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I will not let anyone hurt my daughter, let alone use my daughter's life to make a deal with anyone." ”
"Okay, I'll be relieved if you say that."
Tang Jia originally had a heart hanging in his heart, but after hearing Ye Xun's assurance, his expression immediately relaxed, and he said very seriously,
"I'm just like you, no matter what happens, I will never let Xiaoyu be hurt, she is now half my daughter, if you can't protect her, I will never forgive you in my life!"
"Don't worry, when it comes to distressing Xiaoyu, I won't be worse than you." Ye Xun smiled, looking at Tang Jia's eyes full of seriousness in the moonlight, he couldn't help but feel warm, and gently held her little hand,
"It's hard for you, I'm willing to put so much effort into Xiaoyu, I really don't know how to thank you."
Tang Jia withdrew her hand and sighed softly, "Actually, at the beginning, I was quite annoyed that you entrusted Xiaoyu to me, but this girl is so cute, how can I not like it?" In short, now we are different from before, whether there is a blood relationship with Xiaoyu or not, I will do everything possible to play the role of a mother, you ...... It is also necessary to maintain this role as a father. ”
In the end, Tang Jia's cheeks were already as red as pomegranates.
The wind outside the courtyard was strong, and the night breeze blew through the tips of her hair, and the green silk rose, showing a bright face in the bright moon, full of inexplicable gentleness and delicateness.
Ye Xun couldn't help but hug Tang Jia from the side, took a deep breath and said, "In this world, there is no one more important to you than you and Xiaoyu, don't worry, even if I give up this life, I will definitely protect you two mothers and sons." ”
"Ahem!"
At this time, there was an embarrassing low cough near the rockery, Ye Xun was stunned, quickly let go of Tang Jia, turned his head, looked at Wang Gang, who was standing hesitantly under the rockery, and said, "Fatty, don't you accompany the teacher well, what are you doing when you come out?" ”
Wang Gang looked a little bored, shook his head and said, "Xiaoyu has been with the teacher, it's going to be fine, I can't sleep, I want to come out for a walk, I didn't bother you." ”
"No, it won't."
Ye Xun also saw that his good buddy was not in a good mood, so he immediately gave Tang Jia a look, sent her away, and then walked towards Wang Gangdao,
"I'm sorry, this incident has affected Li Xue and made you worried."
"Brother for so many years, why are you talking about this?" Wang Gang smiled bitterly, squatted down, and silently lit a cigarette.
Ye Xun squatted beside him, looking at Wang Gang's big face plate biting the cigarette butt and twitching, and a complication also surged in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time before he tentatively said,
"Are you sincere to Li Xue?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Wang Gang looked sad, glared at Ye Xun and said, "You can have a girlfriend, right?" ”
Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I just want to know what you think of Li Xue." ”
Wang Gang took a deep breath of cigarette, silently raised his head to look at the sky, and spoke with a calm face, "I know that my conditions are not good, and I am not worthy of Xiaoxue at all, but I am also a man, unrequited love, or self-inflicted amorous, in short, from the first time I saw Li Xue, I liked her." ”
"Got it!"
Ye Xun nodded heavily, then didn't say anything, snatched the cigarette from Wang Gang's hand, and took two deep puffs.
After more than ten years of friendship, Wang Gang has never complained to him about anything, even if he was affected by himself and transformed into a mutant before, although he was bitter in his heart, he never scolded Ye Xun.
To have such a confidant in life, Ye Xun is very content, and he knows what he should do next.
The two took turns smoking, and one cigarette soon burned to the end, Ye Xun threw down the cigarette butt, got up with a melancholy face, and then said,
"Fatty, in fact, just now, I have been thinking about a problem, and I always feel that something is not quite right today."
"What's wrong?" Wang Gang's mind was very confused, and he was stunned when he heard this, and quickly raised his head again.
Ye Xun took a deep breath and said, "During this time, Xiaoyu has been by Jiajia's side, living in a simple house, and I haven't even been to the playground, early this morning, I also hid from everyone, secretly sent Xiaoyu to the martial arts hall, and handed it over to the teacher to take care of, there are very few people who know Xiaoyu's whereabouts, except for you, me, the teacher and Li Xue, there is only Jiajia alone." ”
Wang Gang was stunned, "What do you want to say?" ”
Ye Xun shook his head in distress, "It's a pity that none of these five people can betray Xiao Yu's whereabouts, so the question is, how did our enemies confirm that Xiao Yu was sent here?" ”
Wang Gang didn't speak, and like Ye Xun, he frowned deeply.
After pondering for a long time, neither of them could find an answer, so they could only get up silently and return to the study together.
The waiting time was undoubtedly very long, until the next day, when the sky was about to light up, Ye Xun heard the vibration sound from the mobile phone, looked at the mobile phone screen, and found that it was an unfamiliar number, immediately glanced at Wang Gang, and silently pressed the answer button.
The man on the other end didn't speak, and the phone was silent at first.
The death-like silence made Ye Xun's heart heavy little by little, and then he caught the sound of breathing, and after about ten seconds, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone,
"Ye Xun?"
"Yes!"
Ye Xun nodded, feeling that there was a different tone in this voice, which was different from Zhao Yanan two months ago.
The other end said, "You are really powerful, you actually found such a powerful old guy to protect Xiaoyu, and even the mutant I sent was almost injured by him." ”
"You did it!"
Ye Xun furrowed his brows and said fiercely, "You slut, even if you target Xiaoyu, you even have to kidnap my friend, you are still not human?" ”
"Giggles!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yanan's unscrupulous sneer came, "Actually, at the beginning, I didn't plan to touch your friend, but who made you so powerful, if you don't find someone to blackmail you, how can you be obedient?" ”
Ye Xun couldn't wait to punch through the wall, but when he thought that Li Xue was still in the other party's hands, he could only suppress the impulse and hold back a sentence from the back molars,
"What the hell do you want?"
