Bai Jie took the bowl of noodles into the kitchen. When she came out again, her brother had disappeared.
Bai Jie didn't react at the time. She looked at Fang Yan with a smile and said, "Brother Fang Yan, do you have something to do in Beijing this time? Our school has a party tomorrow night. Do you want to go see — "
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time."
"Are you busy recently?"
"Yes." Fang Yan nodded with a smile and said, "I'm busy getting married."
"Huh?" The girl exclaimed.
She was still a student. The world that she could touch was only the school and this Xiaoxiao Noodle House. No one told her about Fang Yan's breakthrough into the Water Overflow State or the fact that Fang Yan had defeated the Dragon God. These two things were obviously only known by people who reached a certain level. Bai Jie was just the daughter of a noodle house owner. She didn't know the source of the big news.
Recently, Grandpa Long didn't come to their noodle house to eat noodles. She couldn't find out about Fang Yan. Therefore, when she heard that Fang Yan was getting married, the girl had such a big reaction.
Seeing Fang Yan's puzzled look, Bai Jie also knew that her emotions were fluctuating too much. She explained with a red face, "Brother Fang Yan, you're getting married? — — When did this happen? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? "
"It's been a while." Fang Yan said with a smile. "The wedding is in these two days."
After a pause, Fang Yan looked at Bai Jie's fair face and said, "I won't specially send you an invitation. I'll get someone to pick you up. You should also go and have some fun. "
"Okay. Brother Fang Yan, I'll definitely go to your wedding. "Bai Jie's voice was a bit flustered and her emotions were a bit complicated. "I'm afraid that we still have classes that day. It's not convenient to ask for leave now —"
Fang Yan smiled and said, "I'll help you ask for leave."
"Big Brother Fang Yan — —" Bai Jie's nose turned sour. In order to change the topic, she looked around and asked: "Where's my brother? Where did he go? "
Fang Yan looked at Bai Jie and didn't answer her question.
Bai Jie's face instantly paled, asking: "My big brother — — did he leave again?"
"Yes." Fang Yan nodded solemnly. He looked at Bai Jie and said, "Your big brother still has important things to do. He ate the sour noodle soup you made, so now he is full of courage and motivation. When he left, he told me to take good care of you. "
"Brother — —" Bai Jie chased him out of the old street. The street was a vast expanse of whiteness. That familiar and warm figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Big brother — —" Bai Jie shouted from the middle of the street.
The cold wind whistled and snowflakes danced in the air.
Her voice was blown away by the cold wind and frozen by the frozen snow. It turned into an indistinct whimper.
"Big brother — —" She squatted on the gorgeous white carpet, hugging her head with both hands and crying out loud.
There was no end to the long white carpet, as if no one knew when the end of the snowstorm would be.
Fang Yan stood at the entrance of the noodle shop, looking at the sad Bai Jie, but didn't know how to comfort her.
"Big brother Fang Yan — —" Bai Jie looked at Fang Yan with tearful eyes and said: "My big brother, he — — is he never coming back?"
"Why do you think so?"
"The last time he left, he told me that he would come back soon. This time, he didn't say anything — — not saying anything proves that he doesn't dare to say anything — — "
"— —"
After Old Master Xi Fu returned from the Qin Clan, he gathered all the family members to his study for a small meeting.
After half an hour, the meeting was over. However, the faces of the descendants of the Jiang family who came out weren't very good.
Obviously, the meeting went well, but it wasn't enough to satisfy these people.
Then, Old Master Jiang Xi Fu locked himself in his room alone and refused everyone's request to go in and talk to him.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the old butler by Grandfather Xi Fu's side pushed open the door and entered Grandfather Xi Fu's study.
"Bai Xiu went to the police station to turn himself in." The old butler respectfully stood in front of Grandfather Xi Fu, looking at the master he had served for decades lying there with his eyes wide open, like a dying patient waiting for the last moment to arrive. His life was limitless, and his achievements were limitless. But he didn't expect that when he was old, he would suffer a crushing defeat. His body once contained a huge amount of energy, and in the old butler's view, that kind of energy could destroy the world. But now, it was being drained bit by bit, and finally became an old man who was no different from other old men.
"I've asked around, he has information on Young Master Junling, Young Master Junxing — — and a lot of information on our Jiang family. This information is all fatal, directly pointing out that we have a close relationship with that terrorist organization — — "
The old steward's words were very serious, causing old man Xi Fu to only blink his eyes.
"Everything else is easy to deal with, the shameful things that Junling and Junxing did, that's their personal business. The most fatal is the information in his hands, they consciously dragged the Jiang family into this, wanting to prove that those terrorist organizations were directly supported and covered by the Jiang family. He did indeed get some transfer data from the account in Iceland to the base — — even if we cleaned up the matter in Iceland in time, I'm afraid that the Qin family has already gathered more evidence — — they came prepared, and dug a trap for us to jump into. This kind of thing naturally needs to be done flawlessly — — "
"Is General Xing dead?" Grandfather Xi Fu opened his mouth to ask.
"I'm not sure yet." The old butler shook his head and said. "I've sent everyone out, and there hasn't been any reply until now. In any case, the police didn't see General Xing's figure, otherwise we would have definitely received the news — — "
"Whether he's dead or alive, it doesn't matter anymore." Jiang Xi Fu's voice was weak as he said: "This time, it was the little princess of the Qin family who came to the table, she naturally took the opponent's reaction into consideration. You can't clean up the matter in Iceland, before they launched this attack, they had already copied all the information there. "
"Master — —"
"This is what that little princess told me herself." Grandfather Xi Fu said with a serious expression: "I went to the Qin family, but I didn't see that old friend of the Qin family, and I didn't see Li Xinnian, only this little princess. It was this little princess who represented the Qin family in negotiating with me — — the Qin family is obviously willing to accept the results of our negotiations."
"She's smart, but she's still a girl, so when she plays cards, she likes to hide her cards, and won't bet all her chips at once — — this time, they made such a big scene, and didn't hesitate to instigate Bai Xiu to defect, isn't it to defeat our Jiang family? If we don't lower our heads this time, General Xing will never show himself — — a person who won't show himself, how many things can he do while hiding behind the scenes? If that's the case, our Jiang family will never have a day of peace. "
"Master, then now we — —"
"Wait." Grandfather Xi Fu knew what this old partner of his was going to ask. "Just wait. Our chance of survival isn't here, the Jiang family no longer has the ability to save ourselves. Jiang Junling can't, the General can't, and those people outside can't either. Our chance of survival is outside, and it's on its way here. "
"Master — —"
"Why did we lose?" Jiang Xifu suddenly asked.
"Master — —" The old butler looked at his master in surprise, not understanding why he would suddenly ask such a question.
"Why did we lose?" Jiang Xi Fu asked again, "I've been thinking. "I've been thinking about it since last night, all the way until now — — how did we lose?"
"— —"
At five in the afternoon, the tigress came back from outside, covered in snow.
Jiang Shangxin also came back with the tigress. This girl who had run away from the Jiang family walked into the Jiang family's ancestral home once again.
As for the things that had happened in between, neither party was willing to talk about it easily.
Along the way, Jiang Shangxin greeted every member of the Jiang family that she met. Her uncles, aunts, aunts, brothers and sisters were all very affectionate.
However, the way they looked at her was strange, and there was an unconcealable sharpness in their eyes.
"They are still not satisfied." Jiang Shangxin thought in her heart.
"Miss Shangxin, Master is still waiting for you in the study." The tigress reminded her softly.
Jiang Shangxin nodded and smiled. "Then let's go in and see Grandpa first. I haven't been back for a long time, and I really miss him."
After waving goodbye to Shangxin and the rest, she sauntered into Old Master Jiang Xifu's study room in her high heels.
When the tigress pushed the door open and entered, Jiang Xifu was resting with his eyes closed.
She knocked on the door gently and said softly, "Master, Miss Shangxin is back."
The moment Jiang Xifu opened his eyes, he was momentarily stunned.
Then, he finally reacted. He rubbed his face and wanted to get up from the sofa, but his body fell back down weakly.
He was a little flustered, like a person about to drown, unable to grab hold of anything that he could borrow strength from.
He was simply too weak and exhausted.
"Grandpa …" Jiang Shangxin hurried over, grabbed the old man's hand, and helped him up from the sofa.
"Shangxin is back …" There was a mouthful of phlegm in the old man's mouth, and when he spoke, it made a loud noise.
"Grandpa, I am back." Jiang Shangxin said with reddened eyes, "I came back to see you."
"Shangxin, the Jiang family is finished." Grandfather Xi Fu looked at Jiang Shangxin and said, "The Jiang family is finished. You have to save the Jiang family … "
"Grandpa, I am afraid that I can't save them." Jiang Shangxin said with tears flowing down her face. "So many people can't save them, I am afraid that I can't save them either."
Jiang Xifu smiled and shook his head. He held Jiang Shangxin's hand tightly and said, "No one can save the Jiang family, only you can …"
