In the deathly silent room, Xu Tianzhe woke up with the sound of the door closing. He suddenly raised his head and saw that the door had been closed and the girl's back was gone.
On the table, the recorder was lying quietly on the open document, which was a bit dazzling at the moment.
You have fallen behind.
An indifferent voice seemed to ring in his ears in the dead silence of the room. Xu Tianzhe's eyes fell on the recorder on the table and he frowned unconsciously.
After a while, he stood up and walked to the window.
At the door of the club, the girl just walked out, her pure white skirt flying in the afternoon wind. There was an old Albizia julibrissin tree by the roadside. The fire in its branches had long since faded in the October season. When the autumn wind came, a piece of yellow and green leaves fell in the girl's hair. Next to a black military Land Rover under the tree, the man raised his eyes and saw it, slightly startled. Immediately, he raised his hand and picked off the leaves. His eyes were not as warm as at home.
He asked something, and the girl answered him with a slight smile. It was unclear whether the two of them were talking about the meeting just now. Xu Tianzhe stood by the window and could not hear the speech below, but his expression could still be seen clearly.
The man looked at the girl's nonchalant smile and remained silent. After a while, he nodded, opened the door, asked her to sit in the passenger seat, fasten her seat belt, and closed the door.
The moment the car door closed, he turned around and looked up at the room above the club.
Xu Tianzhe knew that the inside of the clubhouse could not be seen from the outside through the glass, and he also knew that Xu Tianyin probably didn't know which room he was in, but he still flashed back when he looked up!
I don’t understand why I want to hide, and I don’t understand what there is to avoid.
But he still avoided it, like a thief. The moment he dodged, Xu Tianzhe looked shocked.
He clearly felt that those eyes were looking at him with precision, as if they had already discovered where he was.
In this incredibly shocked look, Xu Tianzhe was slightly startled. Not because the hiding place was broken, but because Xu Tianyin raised his eyes at that moment.
A touch of loneliness.
He is a member of the Xu family, but has never been recognized. He had been away from home for many years, and when he came back, he became an intruder in the eyes of his family.
He is not your enemy, he is your brother.
The calm voice seemed to ring in his ears again. Xu Tianzhe frowned and suddenly felt irritable. He glanced at the recorder and information on the table, walked over and swept them into the trash can next to him.
The trash can fell down with a thud and rolled twice on the ground. The sound shocked Xu Tianzhe, and then he came back to his senses.
He stared at the fallen trash can on the ground and the contents inside, as if he didn't believe that this was what he had just done. When he returned to the window and looked down, Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao had already left.
…
In the afternoon, Xia Shao went to the company.
After the charity auction, many funeral matters are still being dealt with. The fake knife coin was taken away by the public security agency, while Yu Derong and Xie Changhai were still in the police station.
When Xia Shao came to the company, she was told that the police department needed to take care of this matter and asked her to make a record tomorrow. Xia Shao naturally agreed.
It has been four days since this incident occurred, and there has been no action on Wang Zhuo's part. It is said that on the day of the auction, Wang Zhuo and some dandies from the capital went on vacation abroad and have not returned yet. But after such a big thing happened, there was no way he wouldn't know about it. So far, he has made no move and has not found a way to fish Xie Changhai out. I wonder what his plans are.
Xia Shao was not afraid of this matter, he just let him do whatever he wanted and used it as he saw it.
The company also had employees on duty during the National Day. Xia Shao stayed in the company all afternoon. The new general manager of Huaxia Auction Beijing Branch has yet to be decided. After Sun Changde learned that there was an insider in the company, he called Xia Shao to review and apologize. He was still dealing with the work of Huaxia Auction Company in other provinces and cities, and was too busy to rest during the National Day, but he still said that he would come to the capital the day after tomorrow to review the matter in person with Xia Shao and recommend candidates.
Sun Changde is the veteran of Huaxia Group, and Xia Shao is very pleased that he can still maintain this attitude. She originally decided to use Sun Changde because of his calm and honest appearance, and now she was indeed right about the person.
This incident happened in the Huaxia Group. It was the first time that Xia Shao found out that there was an insider. Naturally, he couldn't expose it so easily. He still had to hold meetings to beat the managers and senior executives. So Xia Shao not only asked Sun Changde to come to the capital the day after tomorrow, but Chen Manguan, Ma Xianrong, and the general managers of all Huaxia Group's auction companies and antique shops had to gather in the capital the day after tomorrow.
After reading documents in the company all afternoon, Xia Shao didn't stretch her muscles until the evening, when a person immediately walked over. Xia Shao raised her eyes and saw Xu Tianyin coming from the sofa, standing behind her, and gently pinched her shoulders.
Xia Shao smiled and closed her eyes to enjoy. She even got up from the chair, moved to the sofa, and deliberately leaned against Xu Tianyin, asking him to help with the massage. It wasn't until she was about to fall asleep comfortably that she heard the man hugging her from behind and whispering: "Go home."
go home.
This word made Xia Shao smile and feel warm in her heart.
The two of them bought vegetables on the way back. They had four dishes and one soup in the evening. It looked like they were living a good life.
After dinner, the two watched TV in the living room, ate fruit, and even went to the bedroom to take a nap. Late at night, in her sleep, Xia Shao felt the man behind her hug her arms tightly, and then he leaned in to kiss her neck softly.
Xia Shao moved and heard Xu Tianyin say: "We have an appointment, it's time to go."
…
It was Zishi when the two of them arrived at Beijing University.
In the tree-lined path not far from the biology department girls' dormitory, when Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin arrived, Yi Ni was already waiting there.
"If you have something for me to see, bring it out." Yi Ni got straight to the point when she saw Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin approaching.
Xia Shao liked her no-nonsense temperament, so she didn't say much and said with a thought: "Dahuang, give that thing to our friends to see."
There was no sound in the air.
Um
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, waited for a while, and then said: "I'm asking you to check the door. Is it possible that your tower has been occupied by a kitten? I can't even stand a kitten. Don't go to Kunlun in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Ni's expression changed first, "What kitten?"
Along with her voice, there was a gust of dark wind. The woods on both sides of the avenue were rustling. The strong wind swept the fallen leaves into curls on the ground. From the golden and jade tower hung as an ornament on Xia Shao's chest, a black evil energy surged out!
In the dark night, the street lamps cast dim light in the tree-lined avenue. When the black evil energy came out, the golden light made people's eyes blur. Yi Ni had seen a golden python, and Xia Shao had used it to unexpectedly injure one of Yu Jiuzhi's arms during the Feng Shui master's assessment on the small island in the fishing village. Seeing each other again after a year, Yi Ni suddenly stepped back!
She senses danger! This golden python is so powerful that it is completely different from a year ago!
what happened
She stared at the Yin Sha rushing out, trying to understand clearly.
But I waited and waited, and only waited for a tail...
The guy stayed in the tower and refused to come out. He only stretched out his tail, and there was a wilted thing wrapped around it. The thing was suppressed by the evil spirit of the golden python and was bowed down, but it could be vaguely seen that it was a cat!
As soon as Yi Ni saw the cat, her expression suddenly changed!
She stared at the cat with eyes like daggers, and despite the strong evil of the golden python, she suddenly rushed closer!
Before she arrived, the golden python flicked its tail, threw the cat ghost out, and returned to the tower to be proud. Yi Ni's head turned along with the trajectory of the cat ghost thrown in the air, turned around and ran over! At this time, Xia Shao's dragon scale was in his hand. The moment it was suddenly unsheathed, four twisted human faces rushed towards the cat ghost, entangled it in the direction of the four elephant seals, and suddenly dragged it back!
Yi Ni was about to run over, and saw the cat ghost being dragged away again. She suddenly turned around, her eyes swung like swords in the dim light, and said sternly: "Show me this cat ghost!"
Xia Shao smiled and restrained the cat ghost in front of him, "Okay. In exchange, tell me the origin of this person who knows the cat ghost Gu."
"This is our sect's business. You'd better not interfere!" Yi Ni's face darkened and she stared at Xia Shao. "I can help you with something, but you should stay out of this person's affairs."
"I just want to know about this person." Xia Shao raised her eyebrows but didn't move.
Yi Ni frowned, a little annoyed, "In the Jianghu world, meddling in the affairs of other sects has always been a way to bring disaster. You don't understand."
"I'm not interested in interfering in your sect's affairs, but the problem is that I have offended this person." Xia Shao glanced at the cat ghost who was bound next to him, "This person is poisoning people, seeking wealth and death, and it just so happens that Two of my clients fell into the trap. I caught this cat ghost and I have made an enemy of him."
"You have a grudge against her, I'll help you solve it! You don't need to intervene."
"Oh? When did our relationship get better like this?" Xia Shao smiled, not giving in. "How do I know if you can deal with this person? If you can't deal with him, I still have to meet this person. In this case, why don’t I find out her origins and know myself and the enemy?”
The two looked at each other, one with a sharp look in his eyes, the other with a smile on his face.
There was silence for a long time, with no one willing to give in.
Finally, Xia Shao took a step back and said, "I have caught a bit of this person's tail, and I can find her by following the clues. If you are willing to tell me her origin, I can consider revealing this news to you."
The reason why Xia Shao said this was because she was sure that Yi Ni seemed to have a grudge against this person. She is eager to find this person out, so the whereabouts of this person should be a good bait for her.
Sure enough, Yi Ni's expression changed again when she heard this, and then she looked at Xia Shao, "You didn't lie to me?"
"I'm not that boring. I stayed up all night and ran out of the house to lie to you." Xia Shao said calmly.
Yi Ni's gaze on Xia Shao did not relax, and she pointed at the cat ghost beside her, "Give me this cat ghost too?"
Xia Shao smiled hatefully, "Let's see if the information you provide satisfies me."
"You!" Yi Ni struggled and bit her lip.
She gritted her teeth, as if in a battle between humans and gods, biting her lip over and over again, and was about to break it. Xia Shao stood aside and waited patiently.
After a while, Yi Ni raised her head and stared at Xia Shao, "Okay! I'll tell you, but you have to swear that this is our sect's business. If you know it, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"
Xia Shao saw that this girl was staring at her like a wild animal, with a kind of primitive wildness, as if she would bite her to death if she dared to leak the secret. Xia Shao was made to laugh, a little amused, but finally nodded, "I still understand the moral rules in the world. If you don't believe me, you should believe that I won't make fun of Xuanmen's reputation in the world."
These words were indeed more effective than Xia Shao's oath on his own reputation. Yi Ni stared at Xia Shao's eyes for a while and nodded, "Okay! I can still admire a person who can defeat the traitors of the entire sect one by one on the mountain where Feng Shui masters are tested. Your courage! I believe you this time!"
Xia Shao smiled but said nothing.
Yi Ni stopped talking nonsense, but pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, this person is from our sect. He is a traitor. I am looking for her to kill her!"
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, not surprised. Yi Ni's previous performance had given her such a premonition.
"As far as I know, the sect of Gu art has always been passed down from mother to daughter, and it is rarely passed on to outsiders, right?"
Yi Ni knew that this was Xia Shao testing whether what she said was true, and immediately snorted, "I won't lie if I tell you! Don't think that I am as full of scheming as you aliens!"
Aliens
Xia Shao smiled strangely and looked at Yi Ni. I don’t know where this girl grew up or what kind of education she received. She rarely heard this word anymore. On the contrary, I have heard this title in some ancient anecdotes in the Qimen Jianghu.
"There is no difference between this and the Miao tribe. Isn't that person also a member of your sect? Gu magic is not spread to foreigners, and traitors are also from your own tribe, right?"
These words seemed to hurt Yi Ni, her eyes were filled with violence, "Yes! So she is a traitor to our people, catch her and kill her!"
Xia Shao had already known about Yi Ni's violence. She could bewitch someone who had had a little quarrel. At that time, Xia Shao concluded that this girl might have experienced some stories. Now it seems that it is true. in this way.
"She is my senior sister." Yi Ni said this, taking a sip first, "A vicious-hearted slut! She betrayed the village for a man, stole our clan's secret cat-ghost magic, and killed her master! "
Xia Shao frowned when he heard this, and his face became serious.
In this way, this person is the one who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors.
But Xia Shao felt a little strange when she heard Yi Ni's words.
"Her master?" Xia Shao studied the last few words carefully. Since this person is Yi Ni's senior sister, shouldn't she say "kill my master"
Yi Ni didn't expect Xia Shao to be so sharp, so she immediately gritted her teeth. The cold wind blew in the avenue, and her teeth grinded loudly. Her eyes were full of hatred, "My aunt!"
"..." Xia Shao took a breath and frowned fiercely.
The revenge of killing the master and killing the mother!
No wonder, in the Gu magic sect, very few people leave the village, but Yi Ni comes to study at the Capital University. No wonder, she is young and her eyes are always so sharp when looking at people. No wonder she has to practice those insect poisons that must be released regularly otherwise they will backfire.
Sure enough, everyone has their own experience.
"I have been searching for her whereabouts for many years. I originally thought that this shameless traitor would appear in the Feng Shui master assessment, but I didn't meet her. But during the assessment, I met several people from other sects. From their conversation, I could tell that someone had met someone playing poison in the capital many years ago. So I came to the capital, and I didn’t expect that I would bump into you. It’s really bad luck.” Yi Ni smiled, her teeth shining brightly. , "Great, finally let me catch her tail!"
Xia Shao lowered her eyes and felt Yi Ni looking at her.
"I've finished what I have to say, now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
Xia Shao raised her eyes, thought for a moment, and then told the story about Zheng Kui Restaurant, "The other party's restaurant is called Xinghe, and the boss is a man. But behind him, there should be a boss, and I guess it should be that woman."
While talking, Xia Shao let go of the cat ghost. The cat ghost had its two front paws chopped off by Xu Tianyin. There had been no sacrifices in the tower these days. Now it was even weaker and on the verge of death.
Yi Ni recited a spell and restrained the ghost cat. After inspecting it, she sneered, "It is indeed an old cat. With it here, her death will be even more ugly!" After that, She raised her eyes to look at Xia Shao and nodded, "You told me the news about her and gave me the cat ghost. I only told you about the sect, two to one, and I still owe you a favor. Again. Well, let me do something for you, you can ask me anything."
Xia Shao smiled. This girl has a clear sense of grudges and calculations. "Then let's pay the debt first."
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
But Yi Ni shouted from behind: "Hey! What does it mean to owe first? I don't like to owe others. What do you want me to do for you? I want to think about it now!"
"I just want you to resolve this matter quickly. That cat ghost is still trapping two of my clients. I have placed charms on them, but treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. If I want them to recover, the only way is to get rid of this poison. If If the poison is removed, the cat ghost will die. If not, they will have to hang like this every day. As soon as the National Day holiday is over, I will consider getting rid of this poison for them." Xia Shao turned around and left, "You want revenge. , just do it quickly. If you want help, you can come to me."
A piece of white paper broke through the air and shot directly at Yi Ni. Yi Ni subconsciously picked it up and looked down. It was the business card of Huayuan Private Club, with the method of contacting her on it.
"This is my business. I told you not to interfere!" Sure enough, Yi Ni said so.
Xia Shao didn't reply and walked away with Xu Tianyin.
I had to investigate the background of this woman at the beginning, just because I didn't want to bring new hatred to Xuanmen. Now it seems that this woman is alone and a traitor to the Gudu sect. I think if Yi Ni wants to deal with this person, she will summon the troops from their sect without her intervention.
It's best that way, their own traitors, clean up after themselves. She was too happy to care about anything.
…
The next day, Xia Shao went to the police station to take notes. Only then did I learn that both Yu Derong and Xie Changhai had been recruited.
Yu Derong gave it up, but Xie Changhai actually did it, which made Xia Shao slightly raise her eyebrows, which was meaningful.
It is understood that Xie Changhai took all the blame alone. He said that he did this kind of business of sending fakes to auction houses not once or twice. Because of the amazing profits, he regarded it as a way to make money. Regarding the charity auction of Huaxia Group, Liu Zhou, the general manager of the Beijing branch of Huaxia Auction, was bribed by him in advance. He planned the whole thing alone. Wang Zhuo was on vacation abroad and did not know about it.
At the auction that day, Yu Derong made it very clear that this matter was Wang Zhuo's trick. The purpose was not to make money, but to expose the fakes afterwards so that the outside world would think that the Xu and Wang families were involved. good.
But there is no evidence for this. Although the police department took away the two people from the Qin family, they were still quite troubled by this. They used various means to get Xie Changhai to confess, and Xie Changhai refused to admit it.
It is said that when he first entered the police station, he had an arrogant attitude. The person who calls him Mr. Wang, if the people from the police station dare to touch him, he will be left alone! He refused to cooperate, refused to speak, and refused to confess. Unexpectedly, two days later, he suddenly spoke up and took all the blame.
When Xia Shao heard about this, she thought it was very intriguing.
Wang Zhuo was on vacation abroad, and Xie Changhai was arrested at the police station. It stands to reason that his mobile phone and all means of communication with the outside world were under the control of people from the Qin family. Xie Changhai could not get in touch with Wang Zhuo, and people outside But you can inform Wang Zhuo. In this matter, it was obviously Wang Zhuo who instructed Xie Changhai to take responsibility. So... where did the instructions come from
Naturally, not everyone in the police station is from the Qin family.
Either someone from the Jiang family took the opportunity to contact Xie Changhai, or there was a mole in the Qin family.
Captain Zhou, who had taken Xie Changhai away from the Huaxia Group's auction hall, had a resolute face and looked like an iron-blooded and rigid person. Although he knew about Xia Shao's relationship with the Xu family, he refused to answer some of her questions, saying they were police force work matters.
Captain Zhou only personally wrote a note for Xia Shao, asking her about the antique game in the square that day and how she discovered there was a mole in the company, and then let her go back.
Before leaving, Xia Shao only glanced at Captain Zhou and left.

I have something to do in the afternoon. I am short of 1,500 yuan. I will finish it at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
