half thorns, half joy

The white car drove all the way and stopped in front of a courtyard.

The bodyguard in a black suit and white gloves stepped forward to open the car door. First he saw a cane that was once popular among European nobles, followed by a pair of black leather shoes.

"Uncle Tang, you're here." The young man who was waiting on the side stepped forward, bowed to greet him, with a respectful attitude.

Tang Jieshan coughed twice and nodded casually.

"Uncle Tang, please come inside."

Although it is winter now, there is not a trace of dilapidation in the courtyard that should be in winter, and I don't know what method is used, but there are big flowers blooming that are not supposed to be in this season.

The fragrance of flowers was tangy, Tang Jieshan just glanced at it casually, then walked towards the main room.

In the main room, Xiao Yu, wearing a mask and peaked cap, paced back and forth until he saw Tang Jieshan walking in, then he greeted him anxiously and eagerly.

"Uncle Tang!"

Tang Jieshan hummed calmly, took a few steps forward and sat on the grand teacher's chair, and then looked at others with his eyes.

In the room, apart from the one who followed Tang Jieshan and called him Uncle Tang, Xiao Yu, there were also three older men.

These few are all Tang Jieshan's military divisions, mainly for Tang Jieshan's advice.

And the one who called Tang Jieshan Uncle Tang was Tang Jieshan's adoptive son named Tang Bai.

His name is true to his name, his skin is relatively dark, he used to be Tang Jieshan's bodyguard, because he saved Tang Jieshan once in a firefight, so he was adopted by Tang Jieshan as his adopted son, and his surname was changed to Tang, his wealth and status have greatly improved.

"The yard you are looking for is not bad." Tang Jieshan took the hot tea from Tang Hei, lowered his head and blew on the tea leaves on the water, and said casually.

After being praised by Tang Jieshan, Tang Hei smiled happily, "Uncle Tang, as long as you like it."

At this time, a man sitting next to him said: "This courtyard is not bad, it is considered the top in our city, but in terms of it, it is Deng Li's quadrangle courtyard, which is more grand and has better Fengshui."

The other continued: "Isn't it? You don't even think about who lived in that yard before and how many years it has been. There are not many such good yards in the whole country."

Tang Hei just got Tang Jieshan's exaggeration, and when he heard these two men say that the yard he found was useless, he felt displeased and snorted coldly.

"You said that Deng Li's courtyard has good Fengshui? I can't see it. If Fengshui is good, why didn't Deng Li's life be saved?"

Hearing this, Tang Jieshan's eyes moved slightly.

Tang Hei, who is good at reading people's eyes, caught a glimpse of the subtle reaction on Tang Jieshan's face, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suggested to Tang Jieshan, "Uncle Tang, since Deng Li is gone now, can his yard be..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Xiao Hei, I advise you not to think about it. Deng Li's family wealth is now being watched by the government. At this juncture, you will bump into it head-on. Not good."

"That's right, don't get nothing in the end and make your whole body feel ashamed. The bombing shocked the whole country. Only fools will go as far as they can go at this time."

Tang Heiliang clenched his fists secretly. These old bastards just like to confront him and tear him down.

When he becomes the heir, he must get rid of these old immortals as soon as possible!

No, he had to get rid of these old bastards before he could become the heir. Otherwise, these old bastards would fight against him every day, and his uncle would definitely not list him as the heir.

Damn!

Tang Jieshan didn't seem to notice the rivalry between these people. He took a long mouthful of tea, put down the cup, and opened his mouth.

The words were spoken to Xiao Yu.

"I've been investigating Deng Li's case recently, and I've paid less attention to you than before. You are relatively free, but be careful, you still can't show your face outside, it's not yet time."

Xiao Yu nodded, and replied respectfully: "I understand."

"Don't worry, when we take down the Xiao Group, your identity and freedom will be restored."

"Yes." Xiao Yu said excitedly, "Thank you Uncle Tang."

Tang Hei couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Yu. Tang Hei didn't understand why his uncle was so kind to this outsider. He not only provided food and drink for him, helped him hide his identity, but also helped him fight for property.

Could it be that uncle also wants to adopt this man as a foster son?

In that case, wouldn't his status be in jeopardy?
Originally, my uncle was not very satisfied with him, but now that there is another competitor, his road ahead may become more and more uneven.

Thinking of this, the way Tang Hei looked at Xiao Yu became complicated.

He had worked so hard to seize the opportunity to become Tang Jieshan's adoptive son. Even though he was not smart enough, the grace of saving his life was there. As long as no one robbed him, Tang Jieshan's huge family property would always be his. share.

But the premise is that no one will rob him.

Xiao Yu, who had all his attention on Tang Jieshan, naturally did not notice Tang Hei's hostility. He was silent for a moment, then asked Tang Jieshan again:

"Uncle Tang, is it true that Xiao Zihan's disappearance is reported in the news?"

"Really." Tang Jieshan replied lightly.

Xiao Yu became excited all of a sudden, but soon he frowned again, puzzled and said: "But I don't understand, since Xiao Zihan was there at the time, there must be an explanation for whether he was dead or alive, how could he disappear?"

"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this?" Tang Jieshan said lightly.

Xiao Yu hesitated and nodded, and said bitterly: "Xiao Zihan and Xiao Mingyuan are both very treacherous and cunning, I'm afraid that if this is a trick he deliberately set up."

Tang Jieshan smiled, "He's not that smart yet, even if he's really so smart, you don't have to worry too much, I've already communicated with Director Wang who is in charge of this case. It doesn't matter whether Xiao Zihan is really missing or fake missing , since he dares to play like this, then I can obey his wishes and make him disappear without a trace."

The meaning of these words is to kill people and silence them.

Such reckless words about human life, said lightly from Tang Jieshan's mouth, can't help but make people's backs shudder.

Even Tang Hei stepped back silently.

But Xiao Yu hated Xiao Zihan to the bone. Hearing what Tang Jieshan said, he felt agitated. He clenched his fist and said, "It's his fate that he was not crippled by this explosion. When he falls into my hands, I will definitely kill him." Let him live but not die."

Tang Jieshan gave a short laugh, which seemed to be mocking, but more like encouraging.

For Tang Jieshan, the more Xiao Yu hated Xiao Zihan, the more he would obediently listen to him, and finally help him get what he wanted.

Therefore, he did not stop Xiao Yu.

Hearing Xiao Yu curse Xiao Zihan for a while, Tang Jieshan yawned and stood up leaning on his cane.

Xiao Yu stopped immediately and looked at Tang Jieshan respectfully.

"I've been running back and forth for the past few days, and I'm very tired. I'm going to sleep. I've already arranged what I need to do next, and you just follow the person who takes you to do it. Report to me if you have anything to do."

Xiao Yu was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Tang, aren't you with me?"

Tang Jieshan rubbed his brows, and comforted Xiao Yu patiently, "Don't worry, the people I send to you are the same as I am here, you just do it. When things are done, the crimes imposed on you It will be transferred to Xiao Zihan, and if you spend some more money, you will be free."

The word "freedom" lifted Xiao Yu's spirit.

He nodded heavily, "Thank you, Uncle Tang!"

Tang Jieshan waved his hand and went to rest.

What Xiao Yu didn't know was that the reason why Tang Jieshan didn't show up with him was because he didn't want to expose himself prematurely.

In fact, Tang Jieshan also suspected the connection behind Xiao Zihan's disappearance.He was wary of Xiao Zihan, but he didn't tell Xiao Yu what he was wary of.

Xiao Yu is like a frightened bird now, he has to let Xiao Yu out, if Xiao Yu is afraid, then he will waste time and energy to convince Xiao Yu.

As an old fox, Tang Jieshan himself would not act rashly.

However, what Tang Jieshan himself didn't expect was that Xiao Zihan had already investigated him, and had already seen his ultimate purpose.

Tang Jieshan still underestimated Xiao Zihan.

Those who underestimate the enemy will always lose.
