In the garden of the guest house, Malfoy walked around the garden rather curiously.

Lucius and Narcissa were sitting not far away, finishing a dinner that didn't quite fit their dining habits, but it tasted pretty good.

Most of the guest houses under Zhao Yuanxu's jurisdiction are only used for internal affairs, so the entire guest house is ancient.

The garden of the guest house is typical of southern gardens. It is known for its delicacy and grace.

Although Lucius and Narcissa don't know what it means to change the scenery, they can feel the cultural heritage contained in the landscape.

Narcissa fell in love with this chic garden almost immediately, looking at the rockery, the pond, the flowers and trees.

I felt a kind of peace in my heart, and the pressure and hesitation accumulated during this time seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment.

She whispered, "Lucius, if you want to settle in China during this time, I want to live in a house like this." ”

Lucius let out a 'hmm' from his nose, his cold gray-blue eyes narrowing slightly.

As the most flexible pure-blood family, he has already begun to think about the plan to live in China permanently in case the Dark Lord returns.

The Chamber of Secrets was in a rampant motion, and Lucius had a hard time explaining to the Dark Lord that he had revealed the whereabouts of the diary.

"Narcissa, I think," Lucius said slowly, "we can consider starting a new business here.

Although they are all Muggles, Muggles here give me a completely different feeling than they do in the UK. ”

He looked at the tower cranes in the distance, which were as dense as a forest, and the whole city was like a huge construction site, even if it was approaching evening, it still worked non-stop.

"There's something in the air here that seems to be giving birth and trying to erupt, and Muggles seem to have a light in their eyes."

Lucius was silent for a while, and said with some uncertainty:

"It should be said that they seem to be full of hope and confidence, like a burning flame.

I have a hunch that here, I will push the Malfoy family's fortune to a new peak! ”

Narcissa looked at her husband, who was suddenly uplifted again, her eyes as gentle as water, and she saw Lucius's anxiety and fear in her eyes during this time.

It's best that he can get back on his feet now.

"I listen to you, Lucius."

Malfoy didn't know what his parents were worried about, and the sensitive and delicate brother was as fond of the garden as his mother.

Just as he was about to suggest to his father that he should also build such a garden at home, he heard a loud cry from the sky.

Malfoy, who was very familiar with Qingluan, immediately raised his head and looked at the sky.

I saw that under the afterglow of the setting sun, it was like a bucket of orange-red paint spilling over in the sky.

The color stained most of the sky red, and an invisible pen dipped it twice, and drew a burning cloud.

Two black dots shot straight down from the sky, and Malfoy stared at it for a moment.

One of them was the familiar Qingluan, while the other was a falcon-like bird.

The peregrine falcon saw it rush to the ground, but when it was still a few meters above the ground, it suddenly spread its wings and slowed down, and reversed course like a Quidditch feint.

In Malfoy's astonished gaze, the peregrine falcon with its wings spread turned into a human being almost instantaneously.

Dressed in a flowing and loose white robe, the wide sleeves fluttered in the air.

Like a feather, it fell lightly from the air and stood firmly on the ground.

Who is it if it's not Zhang Xiao?

"Zhang? Have you learned the Animagus? Malfoy rushed up in three or two steps, excitedly trying to give him a hug.

But then he remembered something, coughed lightly, and performed a standard gentleman's courtesy:

"Long time no see, honorable president."

Zhang Xiao smiled and took two steps forward and hugged him:

"Long time no see, Draco! At this time, there is no need to be reserved. ”

Friendship is really a very strange relationship, obviously sometimes two good friends have not seen each other for a long time, as if it is dull.

But when we met, the feeling was like old wine, but it was a little mellow.

After a brief chat with Malfoy, Zhang Xiao patted Malfoy's shoulder and motioned for him to wait a while.

Lucius and Narcissa are still here, no matter what they think of Lucius in private.

He should give his parents enough respect in front of his friends, which is also respect for friends.

"Mr. Lucius, Mrs. Narcissa, welcome to China, and I hope you enjoy your time here."

Lucius had a complicated expression, it wasn't that attitude when you took your wand a few months ago and asked me why I wasn't afraid of you and Dumbledore.

Narcissa didn't know what her husband was thinking, but she was very fond of the child, ever since Draco and Zhang became friends.

The whole person has become much more cheerful, and he is no longer like he used to always imitate his father, but really like a child.

"Thank you, kid, it's beautiful, I love it, and honestly I'm going to build a yard like this for my own home, or just settle in China.

Every year when Draco is on vacation, we can come and stay for a while. ”

"Welcome." Zhang Xiao bowed slightly politely again.

Then he looked puzzled:

"Mr. Lucius, has my father arrived?"

"MR Zhang?" Lucius raised an eyebrow, wondering why he hadn't seen Zhang's father.

Although Zhang Yiyi's performance has always been perfect, Lucius still thinks that it is useful to talk to adults in major matters, and no matter how good a child is, he is always a child.

"Although I was also looking forward to meeting Mr. Zhang, unfortunately, he did not come."

Didn't come? Behind me?

It's impossible, it took a lot of time to fly over by yourself, a distance of only a few hundred kilometers, and with my father's move, I should have arrived a long time ago.

Making an apologetic gesture to the Malfoy family, Zhang Xiao took out her mobile phone.

"Hello? Dad, what about you? I've all arrived. ”

"Xiaoxiao, I was about to call you, and I guess you're almost there."

There was a terrible scream and Zhang Chengdao's calm voice on the other side of the phone:

"I arrived a long time ago, but just now your Uncle Zhao asked me for a favor, there is a place called Hebang Hotel here, they can't handle it.

As a young heavenly master, this kind of thing is unshirkable, so I came over to take a look. ”

The strange scream suddenly turned into a scream, and you could feel the monstrous ferocity through the phone.

The Malfoys, who were quietly listening to the phone, couldn't help but shudder.

"Dad, how's it going over there? Need my help? ”

Zhang Xiaotianshi easily hammered Leng Qianyu, who was no longer weak, and after being conferred, he was now full of self-confidence.

It's like having a hammer in your hand, and you really want to find a few nails to smash it.

"No, it's a small scene, it's just that there are a lot of ghosts, and it's almost a ghost nest." Zhang Chengdao's tone was relaxed: "Okay, I'll hang up first, you can watch the Malfoy family's affairs."

It's not that I don't have this ability, I'll go over when I deal with it. ”

Zhang Xiao hung up the phone and shook his head at the Malfoy family:

"Mr. Lucius, my father can't come for a while, so tell me if there's anything you want.

I can call the shots. ”

Lucius was silent for a while, took a deep breath, stared at him, and said in a somewhat helpless tone:

"Zhang, I want to ask you to fulfill your promise to keep us safe"

Malfoy, who was standing quietly on the side, suddenly showed a surprised look, but he didn't know when his father had such an agreement with his good friend.

Lucius didn't care about Malfoy's surprise, paused, and said heavily:

"A few days ago, the Azkaban Wizard Prison was breached, and all the prisoners, including those—those Death Eaters."

Zhang Xiao slowly opened her eyes, as if wondering if she had heard it wrong.

Azkaban prison breached?

Are those Dementors ornaments?

Yes, it's not necessarily the good guys who can release the Patronus Curse, but no one among the Death Eaters seems to be able to release the Patronus except for Snape, the Spy.

Because it doesn't need to.

It's hard for Dementors to draw enough pleasure from a dark wizard.

So they're natural allies, but if you want to break through the prison, the first thing you have to do is find Azkaban, right?

The second is the sheer number of Dementors.

He watched as Lucius waited silently for the next step.

As a Death Eater, Lucius knew a little better, and he quickly added:

"According to the Warden of the Ministry of Magic, he was attacked and robbed of the portkey when he was about to make a routine inspection after getting his hands on the portkey.

In fact, it was the Ministry of Magic that was hiding its own incompetence.

The truth is that the Ministry of Magic has quietly captured a group of non-human creatures and human wizards who have been imprisoned for a short time, and prepared to send them to Azkaban to feed the Dementors.

The sorcerers who had been briefly imprisoned had somehow untied their shackles and had wands hidden. ”

Zhang Xiao nodded, thoughtful.

No wonder, based on the last time he and Dumbledore went to Azkaban, it was heavily guarded.

The production and distribution of portkeys, as well as the Warden, are all in their own hands, and they are all at the heart of the Ministry of Magic.

It's hard to do tricks here.

So the only window period is after the wizard who was shackled and confiscated his wand was sent to Azkaban.

He glanced at Malfoy:

"Mr. Lucius, let's talk somewhere else."

The guest house is a secluded conference room.

Lucius whispered about the aftermath of this incident:

"Now the whole wizarding world is panicking, Fudge is already anxious, but he can't do anything, and he wants to suppress the news.

Under pressure, he has announced that he will expand the number of Aurors, and has given the Department of Magical Law Enforcement greater enforcement powers.

Commit to re-arrest all fugitives as soon as possible.

But what he doesn't know is."

A trace of fear appeared on Lucius's pale and thin face, and his voice was a little lower, with a slight tremor:

"Bella and Anthony have contacted me to say that the Dark Lord's most loyal subordinates have gathered again.

The great Dark Lord will return, and let me beg the Dark Lord for forgiveness as soon as possible with loyalty. ”

If it had been before, Lucius had not hesitated to kneel before the Dark Lord again with his so-called 'loyalty'.

No matter what the final outcome is, at least save your family's life first.

The good guys that Dumbledore represents don't kill people at will.

But the Dark Lord would.

But now it was different, because Malfoy actually paid attention with great interest.

Say what to choose C and join them!

Then look for an opportunity to give the Dark Lord a tryover, or simply be a double agent.

It's just pushing the Malfoys into the fire pit!

Double agent?

Who can escape the Dark Lord's dementorship?

During the years when the Dark Lord was active, it was not that there were no spies, but they all died miserably without exception.

Malfoy's tendencies completely cut off Lucius' original intention to beg the Dark Lord for forgiveness by sacrificing his wealth and alleged loyalty.

Lucius, who had made up his mind, was extremely mobile, and he took over the business in just two days.

With the Malfoy family's treasures and a large sum of gold galleons, he came to China.

Of course, Lucius didn't fully believe Zhang Xiao's words.

He asked Dumbledore for advice.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore gave him a fairly positive reply - "Lucius, I have to admit that you made a very good decision.

If you want to stay away from strife and keep your family safe.

Zhang's hometown is a perfect choice, at least as far as I can see so far, there is a very powerful group of people in the far east.

In all fairness, I don't think Tom can handle Zhang's grandfather, especially since he seems to have a very deep understanding of the soul.

If I were Tom, I wouldn't want to be in front of them. ”

It was Dumbledore's reply that finally convinced Lucius.

And Zhang Xiao's status and importance continued to increase through Dumbledore's reply.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, only to feel that the situation was complicated and very messy.

Who robbed the prison? What does it have to do with the Dark Lord? Did it appear in the original book?

What are the possible future changes?

There's just so much to think about.

The news brought by Lucius alone could not analyze any clues.

The top priority is to settle the Malfoy family's affairs first.

"Since I have promised, of course I will fulfill my promise.

Mr. Lucius, you can live in Huaxia until the end of the matter or you want to leave.

I don't know what specific requirements you and Mrs. Narcissa have?

Do you want to find a quiet place to retreat without anyone to disturb, or do you want to experience the excitement of people? ”

The small conference room fell silent, and Narcissa and Malfoy didn't say a word, just waiting for Lucius' answer.

This is also the tradition of the Malfoy family, and everything outside is dominated by the decisions of the patriarch.

Lucius touched the round and cold head of the snake staff, but said something that Zhang Xiao didn't expect:

"I want to do business in China. Just Muggle business. ”

Trade? Zhang Xiao was a little surprised, if it weren't for the fact that his identity was different now, he would have wanted to go over to do business or something.

"Which aspect of business?"

A faint flush rose from Lucius's pale cheeks, an expression of agitation that seemed peculiar to the Malfoy family.

"Real estate, I noticed that there seem to be a lot of Muggles in China, but the houses are not high, and I think real estate must be a good direction.

In addition to that, I also want to invest in textiles, and by the way, I also own a stake in a drilling rig company.

”

So. Some people's wealth is not unreasonable.

What a keen business acumen!

After learning that Lucius had only prepared a 'meagrely' £500 million this time, and said that it was not enough to continue to raise hundreds of millions.

Zhang Xiao silently dialed Zhao Yuanxu's phone:

"Hey, Uncle Zhao, I don't know if you have a task to attract investment over there. Is there really one?

No, Uncle Zhao, are you going to recruit demons and monsters to invest?

Oh. The unit of the casing has.

I have dirt here. There is a rich man, 500 million, pounds, foreign exchange.

Coming soon?

Yes. ”

After making an OK gesture at Lucius.

Zhang Xiao put away her phone, her face became serious, and the next thing to consider is the more important issue.

"Mr. Lucius, did they find the Dark Lord?"
