Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Old Mrs. Huo suffered heavy losses this time. She wanted to use the Ghost Seal that she had hidden for many years to lure out the target person, but she didn't expect that the Ghost Seal would not work, but put herself in a passive situation. Now some of the Huo family's industries have been severely hit, and even some underground industries have been exposed. There are troubles coming to the door every day.

Old Mrs. Huo was extremely busy at this time and had no time to care about Wu Xie and others.

On the other hand, the Wang family faces a more severe challenge. They were anonymously reported for suspected treasonous espionage activities, and a branch in a remote area was surrounded and suppressed by troops from above. However, this suppression operation led to more surprising discoveries.

The Wang family was found to have illegally stored a large number of guns and ammunition, illegally manufactured large weapons, conducted cruel human experiments, organized pyramid schemes, and abducted and sold children. These crimes are outrageous, and child abuse is only the least of them. It can be imagined that the severity of the Wang family's crimes is beyond imagination.

Another foreigner, Jude Kao, had his funding chain cut off by Hua Yu's men at the auction. He has now returned to his own country to deal with the mess. It is estimated that he will not come to Longguo to stir up trouble in the short term.

Wu Xie, a man with nothing to do, and Fatty Wang spent their days in Xie's house eating, playing, eating, and sleeping. They lived a very comfortable life. After three days of such a carefree life, they finally welcomed the return of Xie Yuchen.

"Xiaohua, you're finally back!" Wu Xie and Fatty were enjoying the supreme luxurious breakfast provided by the Xie Mansion that day. Suddenly, they saw Xie Yuchen walking in. They stood up excitedly, but accidentally knocked over the milk cup in front of them.

"Wu Xie, don't be so excited." Xie Yuchen's eyes revealed a hint of disgust, but he soon regained his smile and looked at him enthusiastically.

"Xiaohua, do you know? If you come back any later, my second uncle will really rush to the Xie Mansion to arrest me." After sitting down, Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen with a face full of grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

When Xie Yuchen heard that Uncle Wu Xie was coming to Yanjing, his eyes moved and he quickly asked, "Uncle Wu is coming to Yanjing?"

Wu Xie foolishly said it all out, "Yes! My second uncle arrived in Yanjing the day after the auction."

Xie Yuchen glanced at the fat man who was still eating, and carefully tested Wu Xie again, "Wu Xie, do you know why your second uncle came to Yanjing this time? As far as I know, your second uncle doesn't have any good friends in Yanjing! Could it be because of your third uncle's matter?"

Wu Xie heard what Xie Yuchen said, and thought, that's right, their Wu family has nothing to do with Yanjing, why did his second uncle suddenly come to Yanjing? And it was after his third uncle disappeared. In the past, his third uncle disappeared or ran away, but he never saw his second uncle suddenly run away from Hangzhou to other places.

Wu Xie felt confused and uneasy. He frowned and thought about the connection.

"Xiaohua, you mean that my third uncle and Xie Lianhuan are hiding in..." Wu Xie did not finish his words, but pointed to the ground.

Xie Yuchen nodded slightly, "However, this is just our guess and has not been confirmed yet."

Wu Xie patted his chest and startled Xie Yuchen. "Xiaohua, don't worry! I'll go find my second uncle and get some information from him."

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie with some suspicion, "Wu Xie, have you hit your head recently? Who is your second uncle? You still want to get information from him, don't let your second uncle reveal everything you have done recently."

Wu Xie patted his chest confidently, "Xiaohua, don't worry! I know my limits. Besides, I'm a member of the Wu family, and my second uncle won't do anything to me."

Xie Yuchen propped his forehead on the armrest, "Are you not afraid of your second uncle's face? And the ruler in his hand?"

Wu Xie, who was originally full of confidence, instantly wilted after hearing what Xie Yuchen said, and hung his head, "Xiaohua, you can't destroy my confidence like this! I finally mustered up the courage to face my second uncle, but after hearing what you said, how can I still have the courage to face him!"

Xie Yuchen sighed slightly, "But you and Uncle Wu are both in Yanjing. Yanjing looks very big, but it's actually a very small place. You will always run into him when you go out."

After hearing what Xie Yuchen said, Wu Xie secretly encouraged himself, "After I finish this last meal, I will go find my second uncle. If he dares to do anything to me, I will tell my grandma when I return to Hangzhou and ask her to break his legs."

At this time, a majestic voice came: "Whose legs do you want to break?"

Wu Xie shuddered when he heard the familiar voice, and slowly turned his head to see a middle-aged man who looked completely different from the voice standing at the door. He was wearing a Chinese gown, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a folding fan in his hand. He was as gentle as jade, and from the outside he looked like a refined and easy-going middle-aged man.

Wu Xie's face turned pale, and he stammered, "Second...Second Uncle, why are you here?"

Uncle Wu snorted coldly, walked to the dining table and sat down, staring at Wu Xie sharply, "I heard you want to break my legs? You are so brave!"

Wu Xie was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, Second Uncle, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Uncle Wu gave him a cold look and said, "Humph, it's better to be a joke. Do you know what you did wrong?"

Wu Xie lowered his head, not daring to look his uncle in the eye. "What did I do wrong? I have always been well behaved and have never done anything out of line."

Uncle Wu hummed, and stared at Wu Xie with his phoenix eyes, "Wu Xie, I'll give you one more chance. Did you really not do anything?"

Wu Xie's head was almost lowered under the table, but he still insisted that he had done nothing wrong, "Second Uncle, I, I, I, I really didn't do anything!"

"Wu Xie!" Uncle Wu slammed the folding fan in his hand on the table, and his voice became much louder.

"Uncle! I'm an adult already, and you still want to control me. And Wang Meng in my shop, is he also someone you hired to monitor me? Otherwise, how could there be someone who is willing to accept a monthly salary of 300 yuan and refuse to leave even if it has been owed for several months?" Wu Xie's mind suddenly became clear after being forced by his uncle.

"Have I been living your lies since I was little? You have been training me since I was little? The calligraphy I practiced was also specially found by you from someone else, just to make me the same as the person in your mind?"

After hearing what Wu Xie said, Uncle Wu cursed those two brainless guys in his heart.

"Also, who is imprisoned in that nursing home in Qing Province? Is it Aunt Huo Jin? Is there another person who looks exactly like me?"

Wu Xie's questioning also surprised Xie Yuchen, who was waiting to see the show. He didn't expect that Wu Xie's sudden outburst would make things so clear.

"And the map of the Tomb of King Lu in Shan Province at the beginning just happened to appear in my store, and the seller missed it so easily, and I just happened to see it and took a picture of it.

How did Third Uncle fool me next?

After he came out, he took a look and left, and then he disappeared. After that, he arranged for me to go from the underwater tomb they had visited together to the Tamutuo. Later, he sent someone to lead me to the village, where I saw Aunt Minjin's photo?

How long are you going to arrange for me to stay here?"

Uncle Wu's face darkened slightly, which made Wu Xie's heart skip a beat. "Wu Xie, where on earth did you hear such nonsense?"

"I'm telling you, Wu Xie, don't think that I won't do anything to you just because we're in someone else's home. I didn't tell you not to get too close to your Third Uncle, not to get too close to him, why didn't you listen to me?

It would be fine if you didn't listen to me, but now you come to question me without any hesitation?

Didn't you find that calligraphy copybook in your grandfather's study? And you were the one who insisted on getting it?

There are so many different looks in this world. Do you think your face is unique? If you throw your face into a crowd, you can find hundreds of others like it.

Did I forbid you from going to the tomb, but you didn't listen? You listen to your uncle talking nonsense about his illegal activities all day long. You did this secretly, and you still dare to blame others?

Wu Xie, have all the books you've read over the years been read into your pig's brain?"

Uncle Wu gave Wu Xie a loud slap in the face, which made Wu Xie so dazed that he seemed to see his grandfather.

After receiving the slap, Wu Xie indeed became much quieter and turned back into the little quail he was before, eating his breakfast silently with a bright red slap mark on his face.

Xie Yuchen looked at this scene and laughed in his heart. It turned out that the elders had authority and could control the situation.
