Long Xiangtian sent the picture he took with his mobile phone to Yunniang, and then called her to ask her to help look up the logo. After a while, Yunniang replied, saying that it was the symbol of the foreign Blood Eagle Killer Organization.
"Blood Eagle Killer Organization?" Long Xiangtian had heard of it before, but he didn't know much. It was the first time he saw their symbol. He couldn't help but take a few more glances and said to himself, "Could that jade pendant have some secret?"
Long Xiangtian was deeply puzzled. To be able to alarm a foreign assassin organization, there must be some important secret. If it happened to Zhao Ziru, it would definitely bring disaster to her. He felt regretful just thinking about it.
The secret of the jade pendant aroused Long Xiangtian's curiosity, so he decided to go to Zhao Manor. Perhaps Zhao Xuan would know something about this secret. Moreover, Long Xiangtian was very worried about Zhao Ziru's current situation, so he could only go and remind Zhao Xuan.
When Long Xiangtian arrived at Zhao Manor, night had already fallen. It was pitch dark and dark, and Zhao Manor was also heavily guarded, so Long Xiangtian naturally could not walk in openly.
It was not difficult to avoid these guards. With Long Xiangtian's skills, he quickly arrived at Zhao Xuan's room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Xuan lying on the bed, obviously sleeping soundly.
Long Xiangtian was afraid of scaring the old man, so he coughed twice. Maybe the old man was sleeping too soundly and he didn't react at all. Long Xiangtian could only go over and pat his shoulder, then turn on the light.
Zhao Xuan just opened his hazy eyes, and when he saw Long Xiangtian, he almost had a heart attack. He swallowed his saliva, looked frightened, and said intermittently: "Mr. Zhang... That... It's not me who hurt you... Hey..."
Long Xiangtian frowned and said, "You are the head of the family after all, why is it so?" He shook his head unhappily and glared, "I am not a ghost, if you don't believe me, touch me."
As he said that, he went to pull Zhao Xuan's hand, but Zhao Xuan screamed, which frightened Long Xiangtian so much that he covered his mouth with one hand and said, "Don't scream, do you feel the warmth of my palm?"
After a while, Zhao Xuan finally caught his breath, nodded, and pushed Long Xiangtian's hand away. He gasped and glared, "Do you want to suffocate this old man to death?"
Long Xiangtian laughed innocently: "I have no choice. Don't invite anyone here. It's not convenient for me to show up now."
Zhao Xuan looked at Long Xiangtian in surprise, frowned and said, "Aren't you dead? What's going on?"
Long Xiangtian roughly recounted what happened that night, and Zhao Xuan finally understood. He frowned and said, "He is indeed different from ordinary people. Even his heart is unusual."
Zhao Xuan sighed and continued, "Since you are still alive, why didn't you show up?"
Long Xiangtian sighed and said, "If I show up, will Li Long let me go? Besides, it's not the right time yet. I came here today to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xuan frowned, and thinking that Long Xiangtian must be asking about something important, he straightened his expression and waited quietly for Long Xiangtian's words.
Long Xiangtian was silent for a while, looking at Zhao Xuan who was a little hesitant, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know Li Long?"
"I know him, what's wrong?" Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and suddenly said: "Zi Ru also came to ask me about this a few days ago, saying that you and Li Long were comrades-in-arms. Is that true?"
Long Xiangtian nodded and said, "He and I are comrades-in-arms, that's right."
Zhao Ziru lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Where is he now?"
A layer of pain surged on Long Xiangtian's face. Whenever he mentioned Li Long, the scene of his death would appear in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh: "He's dead."
Zhao Xuan was shocked when he heard this. He was silent for a long while before he said, "Then I heard from Ziru that he is still alive?"
"I was afraid that she couldn't bear it, so I didn't dare to tell the truth. I think Brother Fei didn't want her to be sad." At this point, Long Xiangtian sighed again: "But I realized that I shouldn't lie to her."
Zhao Xuan seemed to understand Long Xiangtian's difficulties, and a trace of fear appeared on his face. He said: "If Ziru knew, she might not be able to bear it."
Long Xiangtian smacked his lips and sighed, then continued, "I have found out recently that Li Long's death was caused by the Yan family."
Zhao Xuan frowned even deeper and said, "This... Li Long is the adopted son of the Yan family, why do they want Li Long to die? Could it be... Could it be that Li Long wants to get Ziru?"
Long Xiangtian originally thought so, but now considering the secret of the jade pendant, Long Xiangtian did not dare to assert that it was really that simple, and could not help asking: "Grandpa, do you know about Zhao Ziru's jade pendant?"
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "I know, it's just an ordinary jade pendant, what's wrong with it?"
Long Xiangtian shook his head and said, "That jade pendant is not ordinary at all. As far as I know, even the Blood Eagle Killer Organization abroad has set its sights on this jade pendant. And I guess Li Long's death is related to this jade pendant. Do you really not know?"
Zhao Xuan shook his head and said, "When I adopted Ziru, the jade pendant was already on her. It seems that it has never left her. Later, Ziru seemed to have given the jade pendant to Li Long."
"Isn't Zhao Ziru a descendant of your Zhao family?" Long Xiangtian was completely shocked. He never expected it to be like this.
Zhao Xuan also sighed deeply and said, "Zi Ru's father and I were close friends. Back then, I don't know what enemy he offended and his family was wiped out. Fortunately, Zi Ru survived, so I adopted her. For her comfort, I have never told anyone about this, including Zi Ru herself."
Long Xiangtian increasingly felt that the whole matter was not that simple. The jade pendant on Zhao Ziru must have some secret, but it had not been verified yet. Considering Zhao Ziru's comfort, Long Xiangtian felt that it was time for him to show up.
"Grandpa, don't tell Zhao Ziru about Li Long's death for now. I will tell her when the time is right." Long Xiangtian warned Zhao Xuan carefully.
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "I know. I hope no one else will know what I told you."
Long Xiangtian smiled and nodded, then left Zhao Manor. Zhao Ziru's situation was becoming more and more dangerous. Hiding behind him would no longer solve the problem. As long as the jade pendant was no longer on Zhao Ziru, she would be safe.
When he got back, Yunniang had already gone to bed. Long Xiangtian took a bath and slept peacefully. When he got up in the morning, he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to start. Yunniang saw it and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Long Xiangtian glanced at Yunniang and said, "I... I'm leaving."
Yunniang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?"
Long Xiangtian gritted his teeth and said, "I have to go back to Zhao Ziru's place. There are things waiting for me to deal with, so I'm telling you, thank you for taking me in during this period of time."
