half thorns, half joy

Xiao Zihan was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly.

He didn't look at Ke Ke again, but asked Deng Langyue, "Did you find anything useful after you returned to Deng's house?"

Deng Langyue quickly replied: "Deng Li has already emptied the house, and only found a box in the dark compartment. Also, I brought the housekeeper who has been with Deng Li here."

Xiao Zihan waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately brought in the wooden box and the butler.

"It's you!" Seeing Xiao Zihan, the butler's eyes gleamed viciously, as if he wanted to poison Xiao Zihan to death with his own sight.

Xiao Zihan ignored the housekeeper's anger, and asked coldly: "Deng Li has already run away, where should he go besides Deng's house?"

The butler gave Xiao Zihan a disdainful look, tightly closed his lips, and remained silent.

Seeing this, the thugs pressing down on the butler from left to right kicked the butler's leg. The butler uttered a terrible cry and knelt down straight.

"Ah..." He knelt on the concrete floor, gasping for air in pain.

Xiao Zi smiled coldly, "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't know? Do you think that Deng Li will treat you as a person if you are loyal to Deng Li?"

"That's none of your business." The housekeeper turned his head stubbornly, pretending to be unmoved.

At this time, Xiao Zihan's subordinates also opened the wooden box, which contained some photos and a few other small objects.

"Mr. Xiao." His subordinates unfolded several photos one by one and showed them to Xiao Zihan.

Those are some relatively old photos. Judging by the degree of oxidation, they have been stored for at least ten years, and some places have faded.

Deng Langyue, who was watching with Xiao Zihan, the blood on his face disappeared little by little.

Even after so many years, he can still recognize that the woman in the photo is his mother who has passed away long ago.

"Mom..." Deng Langyue snatched the photo, tears streaming down the back of his hand.

With tears in her eyes, Deng Langyue hurried to look through the wooden box.

In the wooden box, he found more photos of his mother, as well as a photo of his mother and Deng Li.

Xiao Zihan frowned. It seemed that there was nothing useful in this wooden box. The reason why Deng Li didn't take this thing away was probably because he had forgotten that there was still this box of old photos and objects in the dark compartment at home. .

"You guys, ask him about Deng Li." Xiao Zihan pointed to a few people, issued orders, and then looked at Ke Ke, "Follow me."

"Ah? Me? Where are you going?" Ke Ke thought she had nothing to do, but when Xiao Zihan called her, she was surprised and confused.

Xiao Zihan smiled, "Of course I'm going to see Deng Li."

"No..." Ke Ke shook his head and refused, "I don't want to see him again, don't let me see him again..."

Xiao Zihan looked at Ke Ke as if he was terribly afraid of Deng Li. Thinking of Tang Xuan, he couldn't help but soften his heart, and added, "Don't worry, I will ask someone to protect you well, and Deng Li will not hurt you again. Opportunity."

"No...I don't want to see him...I can't..." However, Keke still resisted, "I'm Tang Xuan's friend, how could you treat me like this, Tang Xuan will definitely be angry and sad if you treat me like this! "

Xiao Zihan smiled when he heard Ke Ke's out-of-toned threat.

He looked at Ke Ke expressionlessly, with an imperceptible disappointment in his tone, "Really, but I'm also angry now."

Coco was stunned.

It was only at this time that she realized belatedly that her shrewdness just now was actually lifting a rock and hitting her in the foot.

She moved Tang Xuan out to protect her own safety, but she forgot that if there was a rift between Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan, she would not only harm herself, but also Tang Xuan.

"You can't blame Tang Xuan." Keke turned her head around and defended Tang Xuan, "I met her in the past, she doesn't want you to know, it's normal. What she's afraid of is that you get suspicious, you You won't trust her. And what you are doing now shows this."

This sentence was very heartbreaking, Xiao Zihan's heart tightened.

But Xiao Zihan was not someone who would change his mind easily, nor was he someone who would dissipate with a word of suspicion.

Xiao Zihan was silent for a few seconds, then waved his hand, "Take her into the car!"

Ke Ke let out a long breath, she could see that Xiao Zihan had made up his mind, no matter what she said, Xiao Zihan would definitely take her to see Deng Li.

That being the case, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and see her.

Xiao Zihan's subordinates helped Ke Ke out of the old warehouse. As soon as the group walked out, there was a shrill cry from inside the warehouse.

In this desolate and uninhabited suburb, that tragic cry was as terrifying as it could be. Hearing Ke Ke's back felt cold, and both legs went limp.

"Mr. Xiao, this is the location. They stopped here." After Xiao Zihan left the warehouse, his confidants immediately stepped forward and showed Xiao Zihan a locator.

On the locator, a small red dot flickered.

Xiao Zihan glanced at it, and said to his confidants: "Leave a group of people here, and everyone else will go with me."

"Yes!"

"Contact Officer Liu, give him the information we have prepared a long time ago, and ask him to meet us at the pier."

"Yes!"

"In addition, send another team to guard the villa. No matter what happens on our side, the people on the other side of the villa are not allowed to be transferred. We must ensure their safety!"

"Yes!"

Standing behind Xiao Zihan, Ke Ke watched Xiao Zihan's hands come and go, got into the car and drove in an orderly manner, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

A tiger father has no dogs and sons, this sentence is indeed true.

It's no wonder that under such a big turmoil, Xiao Zihan survived unscathed. Not only that, it seems that he took over the Xiao Group in his own hands and managed it in an orderly manner.

But she also found it incredible.

She has been in the men's circle for many years, and she has seen all kinds of men, the flirtatious, the merciless, the hypocritical, the ruthless, the cruel, and the reckless.

The men she has met are countless.

She also has a thorough understanding of men, who are used to thinking with their lower body.

But she couldn't understand Xiao Zihan from the beginning.

Ever since Xiao Zihan brought Tang Xuan, a little-known ordinary girl, to various occasions, she couldn't understand what Xiao Zihan was doing.

In her perception, even if a man as outstanding as Xiao Zihan, with such a prominent family background, fell in love at first sight, it would definitely not last long, not to mention the love between the wrong family and the wrong family.

But what surprised her was that Xiao Zihan not only had a long-term relationship with Tang Xuan and took good care of her, but also sincerely planned to marry Tang Xuan.

This was already surprising, but what Keke couldn't have imagined was that after such a drastic change in his family, Xiao Zihan still loved Tang Xuan deeply, and Xiao Zihan's love for Tang Xuan was still the same as before.

What kind of love is this, what kind of state is this?
Coco can't even think about it.

This is not to blame Ke Ke, Ke Ke can't figure it out, because her life experience, her life circle, there is no such affectionate example.

People always think that they are transparent, but in the final analysis, what they think and think cannot escape their own life experience.

To put it simply, it is the sentence that everyone knows: what kind of person you are, and the way you see the world is what you are.
