After hanging up the phone, Yuan Cheng looked at Zhou Zhou with eyes full of admiration.
"Master Qi, you are really amazing. How did you know that Ji Fan would run away?"
Si Xinghe rolled his eyes at Yuan Cheng, and then said with a bit of pride: "If you don't run away, are you waiting for us to react and deal with him? He can escape from the prison, do you think the few people you left in the hospital can see him?" Can you hold him?"
Yuan Cheng slapped his forehead regretfully, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Si Xinghe snorted coldly, "I reminded you that you are the master."
This cold gaze made Yuan Cheng feel a chill rush from the soles of his feet to his forehead, his back was so cold, and he broke out in cold sweat.
"...Third Master, why are you looking at me like this?"
His eyes were like knives, as if I had molested his wife. What happened
The others looked at Si Xinghe in surprise. Only Zhou Zhou seemed to understand something and stretched out his hand to pull off Si Xinghe's sleeve.
Si Xinghe glanced at Zhou Zhou, then folded his legs together and smiled, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought that Director Yuan has been single for many years and is really miserable. I thought that when my old lady comes back from traveling, I can ask her to give it to you. Introduce one.”
"Forehead… "
Yuan Cheng suddenly panicked, "Thank you, Third Master, for your concern. I won't bother the old lady..."
"It's okay, my old lady has always been keen on holding red strings, so it's no trouble." Si Xinghe blocked Yuan Cheng's words directly.
Bu Yifan looked at Si Xinghe opposite him, and then glanced at Zhou Zhou next to him. His eyes lingered between the two of them for a while, and some strange passage was opened in his mind in an instant.
He pursed his lips to hide his smile, Si Xinghe, Si Xinghe, you too have this day.
"Uncle, what are you laughing at?" Si Niannian's seat happened to be facing Bu Yifan. When he looked up, he saw the smile on his lips and asked curiously.
Bu Yifan: "Oh, I just remembered what your third uncle said when I was young."
"What are you talking about?" Si Niannian became more interested.
Even other people's attention was diverted and they all looked at Bu Yifan.
The President has not spoken much since the dinner table tonight. What on earth could he say that made him smile like this
Zhou Zhou also looked at Bu Yifan with the same expectant and curious eyes as Si Niannian.
But Si Xinghe's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and when he saw Bu Yifan's eyes, he had a bad feeling.
"Brother Yifan..."
"When your third uncle was young, he was really young and frivolous. He was a famous devil in Beicheng, but he also fascinated many girls. He started to receive love letters every day when he was a teenager, and people kept confessing to him. But what about him? I rejected them all without mercy, without giving any face to those girls, and it made them sad.”
Bu Yifan's voice sounded at the same time as Si Xinghe's. He ignored Si Xinghe and looked at Si Niannian with a smile, while talking about the history of that year.
"At that time, your second uncle and I asked him, what would he do if he met someone he loved in the future? Guess what your third uncle said?"
Si Niannian and Zhou Zhou looked at Si Xinghe at the same time.
Si Xinghe looked a little uncomfortable and glared at Bu Yifan, "How many years ago, why do you still bring it up? They say that the older you get, the worse your memory becomes. I advise you to save your energy and stop thinking about it all the time. These unnecessary nonsense.”
"Third uncle, what exactly did you say?" Si Niannian asked.
Si Muen also looked curious, "Yes, Third Uncle, what did you say?"
Si Xinghe didn't speak, so Si Muen simply turned to look at Si Xiyou, "Dad, what did my third uncle answer at that time?"
"Ask your third uncle." The corners of Si Xiyou's lips also raised slightly, showing that he was in a good mood.
Bu Yifan smiled and said, "Your third uncle patted his chest and said, true love, that's all bullshit. Only an idiot and a mentally retarded person can believe that there is such a thing as love in this world. He also made a bold statement that he would never love anyone other than his family in this life." People who give their sincerity, men, should play in this world, what matters is family and career, nothing else matters.”
"My words are all childish, what do teenagers know?" Si Xinghe glanced at Zhou Zhou next to him, "Children's words are unji, childish are unji."
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly with an incomprehensible expression, "Tong Yan? I remember that Mr. Si went out for training for the first time when he was eight years old. He crossed the Mountain of Death alone at the age of ten. At the age of thirteen, he single-handedly challenged the ten elders of the Inner City Cultivation Association. At the age of sixteen, …”
“Seven…”
Si Xinghe looked embarrassed, scratched his head with his index finger, and coughed twice, "Let's talk about the Xuanwu Lamp treasure map, shall we?"
Zhou Qi just looked at Si Xinghe and said nothing for a long time.
Si Xinghe kept smiling, and there was even a hint of flattery in his smile.
Yuan Cheng was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
"Uh, Master En, what's going on with Third Master? Why is he so afraid of Master Qi?" he asked in a low voice.
Si Muen glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid."
"You can be afraid, but my third uncle can't be afraid? Why, are you discriminating against him?" Si Mu'en was in a state of confusion. If someone hit someone with a gun, he would immediately retaliate without saying a word.
Yuan Cheng smiled and shook his head, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Discriminating against Mr. Si
Where does he have the courage
Bu Chensu did not participate in this topic during the whole process. While everyone's attention was distracted, he kept feeding Si Niannian.
Although they didn't sit together, nothing was wasted. The table was full of dishes that Si Niannian liked, and Bu Chensu fed them once. He didn't stop until he judged that the little girl was full.
Then, using the chopsticks that Si Niannian had just fed, he continued to eat the vegetables. Every bite tasted particularly delicious.
"Chen Su, what do you think about this matter?" After the embarrassment, Si Xinghe quickly changed the subject.
Bu Chensu then put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and spoke calmly.
"Since Ji Fan's incident was premeditated, all his testimony should be doubted. It is still an unsolved question whether the person who bought the treasure map was a man or a woman, and whether he resembled Duan Yimo. puzzle."
"Secondly, Rong Qing's whereabouts in the past few years must be investigated, including the reasons why her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds."
Si Muen's brows knitted together and he looked at Bu Chensu with a serious face, "Rong Qing can't be related to these things. She has rarely even asked about our family in order not to let others think she is a high-ranking Si family. When we are alone together, we never discuss topics related to home, and she has always deliberately avoided them. "
Si Xiyou nodded, "Yes, this child Rong Qing has always had a good sense of proportion on this point. She is a very independent girl. However, Mu En, after all, this matter involves the Xuanwu Lantern, which is of great importance. The purpose of investigating Rong Qing is not to doubt her, but to help her clear her suspicions. You are not a child anymore, so I shouldn’t need to say more about the overall situation. "
"Yeah." Si Mu'en naturally knew the seriousness of this matter. Apart from nodding, he didn't know what to say at this time.
Si Xiyou was very satisfied with his son's reaction and turned to look at Bu Chensu, "Chensu, please continue talking."
"No more." Bu Chensu said.
Si Xiyou: "..."
After a pause, Bu Chensu spoke again, "Since someone is using Ji Fan to stir up the Xuanwu Lamp issue again with great fanfare, it can only have two purposes. First, that person has a complete treasure map in his hand and can also find it. He found the Xuanwu Lantern, but he didn’t have the ability to enter and get the treasure, so he wanted to ask for directions and lead us there, and then he would enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman.”
"What about the second one?" Yuan Cheng asked quickly.
Si Niannian smiled and said: "Secondly, even the treasure map in that person's hand is incomplete. I want to lure people who have other treasure map fragments, so that I can get all the treasure map fragments, and then go hunting for the treasure, so , everything will depend on Third Uncle. Third Uncle, I think your current situation is very dangerous and you need someone to protect you."
Si Nian Nian said with a serious face and looked at Si Xinghe, "Third Uncle, from today on you must not go out alone. If a stranger strikes up a conversation with you, you must refuse. You cannot eat food from strangers or in unfamiliar places. Don’t go. If someone suspicious approaches you or is harmful to you, you must call us first. You can’t deal with it blindly alone.”
After saying that, she took one of Si Xinghe's fingers and shook it.
"Third uncle, you have to be obedient and don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Immediately afterwards, Si Niannian took out a bunch of talismans, pills, etc. from the space and stuffed them all into Si Xinghe.
"Third uncle, take these first, and then ask for them from me when you're done."
Yuan Cheng was envious of her, and he also wanted a niece who was outraged by both humans and gods.
Others have long been accustomed to it, and even Si Muen nodded in agreement, "My sister is right, third uncle, you should really be careful during this period."
Zhou Qi also became nervous, "Xinghe, why don't you come and live with me during this period? It will be fine to leave the company's affairs to Chen Su and Nian Nian."
Si Xinghe couldn't help laughing, "What are you doing? I'm not a doll made of clay, and I still need your protection. There are not many people in this world who can really do anything to me, Si Xinghe, right?"
"No, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world." Zhou Qi still insisted.
Si Niannian also nodded, "Yes, the master said that those who drown are those who know how to swim. You should not be careless about this kind of thing."
"you… "
"Dad, listen to the baby, otherwise she will worry."
Bu Chensu interrupted Si Xinghe and looked at him with a bit of worry.
This look and what he just said became Si Xinghe's weakness.
Si Niannian took the opportunity, hugged Si Xinghe's arm, shook it again, and said in a soft and coquettish voice, "Third uncle, you are the person I care about most, don't make me worry, okay?"
"All right."
Si Xinghe's brain had reacted immediately, nodding in response like a conditioned reflex.
The little princess is acting coquettishly with him.
Listen to the sweet little voice.
Who can withstand this
Si Niannian immediately smiled, "Okay, this matter is settled. Uncle Qi will take us away. The company's affairs and the investigation of the Xuanwu lamp will be left to us."
With that said, Si Niannian picked up Si Xinghe's hand and placed it in Zhou Zhou's.
He said solemnly: "Uncle Qi, I will entrust my third uncle to you."
Yuan Cheng: “…”
What kind of déjà vu does this kind of déjà vu feel like when parents are delivering speeches at a wedding
After finishing the meal, Yuan Cheng left Zhiwei immediately.
Si Muen looked at the hurried car with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong with Director Yuan? His butt is burning, as if someone is chasing him from behind?"
"He's shy. Ever since Third Uncle asked grandma to help him find a wife, Director Yuan has always taken a peek at Third Uncle. It's no wonder that after being single for so many years, it's normal to be shy. Brother, we have to understand him and don't Laugh at him."
Si Niannian said it seriously.
But Si Mu'en's eyes fell on her and Bu Chensu's intertwined hands.
"Sister, come to my brother's side."
Si Muen forcefully separated their hands, pulled Si Niannian to his other side, and separated the two of them.
Until he reached the door of his home, he did not give up the slightest opportunity for Chen Su to get close to Si Niannian.
"It's quite late. I won't invite you into my house. Chen Su, go back to bed early. Good night."
After saying that, Si Mu'en took Si Niannian's hand directly into Si's house and locked the door with his backhand.
Si Niannian stuck his head out, smiled and waved to Bu Chen Su, "Good night, brother Su."
Si Muen quickly turned her head back, "Sister, don't smile at that brat. He has bad intentions. Don't be deceived by him."
"Oh." Si Niannian nodded, looking very obedient.
Si Mu'en couldn't help but be surprised, "It's weird. If I usually say something bad about that brat, you would definitely retort immediately. What happened today? Are you so obedient to my brother?"
While speaking, Si Mu'en also rubbed Si Niannian's head.
Such a cute and well-behaved sister must not be snatched away by that big-tailed wolf.
Si Niannian followed Si Mu'en into the house and said as he walked, "Brother."
"Um?"
"You will always be Nian Nian's brother."
Si Niannian stopped, got into Si Muen's arms, and hugged him tightly.
"Grandpa, grandma, second uncle, third uncle, and brother will always be Niannian's most important family member. Brother will always be Niannian's best and dearest brother. Even if Niannian and Brother Su are together, nothing will change. So, brother, please don’t hate brother Su, okay?”
Si Muen's heart softened inexplicably. He hugged Si Niannian, caressed her back and sighed.
"But, my brother can't bear to leave you."
The sister I finally got back has only been hurt for a few days, and now she belongs to someone else. Who can bear this
"It's my brother's fault. He's been too busy in the past few years and doesn't have much time to spend with you. He also asked you to help me share a lot of family responsibilities. I'm not a good and competent brother."
"Who said that? My brother is the best brother in the world." Si Niannian nuzzled into Si Muen's arms coquettishly.
Si Muen smiled, and in addition to being happy, there was also a lot of sadness and reluctance in his smile.
"Has that boy Chen Su ever bullied you?"
"Of course not." Si Niannian shook his head quickly, "Brother Su didn't even have time to love me, so how could he bully me?"
Si Muen pinched her nose and said, "Silly girl, Chen Su used to be your brother and you were his sister. Of course he would love you, but if you are together, it will be different. Quarrel is inevitable between lovers. Suspicion and jealousy, he can be a competent and good brother, but he may not be a competent, suitable partner who can bring you happiness. I am afraid that you will get hurt. "
