Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Wu Xie took the hidden file bag found in Xie Yuchen's bedroom and ran out with Fatty Wang while the Xie family was in chaos.

The two of them were acting sneaky along the way and were seen by the old uncles and aunts who were eating melon seeds and gossiping on the street.

"Are there some problems with those two guys?"

"Knock, knock, knock, there must be something wrong with you!"

"Kekeke, if you weren't sick, how could you not see a living person like us?"

"I saw it clearly. These two young men, one fat and one thin, are from the Xie family!"

"Oh my! That's incredible! Stealing things from the Xie family! How dare you!"

"Should we call the police? I don't think these two are good people!"

"Wait! You guys keep an eye on them! I'll take Old Man Wang to tell the Xie family! Old Man Chen, take Aunt Liu to call the police!"

"Hey hey hey! Why did I hear that someone from the Xie family came to cause trouble early in the morning? I heard from them that the head of the Xie family, Xie Yuchen, was dead!"

There was an uproar as soon as these words came out. "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense, you old woman. I saw the young man from the Xie family taking a walk yesterday! It can't be that we saw his ghost!"

"That's right! I was greeting him yesterday! I even touched his hand and introduced him to someone! My hand was so warm!"

"Who knows? When the young man from the Xie family was young, didn't those relatives come to make trouble once? You can't say for sure! They just wanted to come and take advantage of him because they saw that he was doing well!"

"Alright, alright! Hurry up and get to work! Otherwise, everyone will run away in a moment!"

The old man in a silk Tai Chi suit stood up and urged the old men and women who were gathered in a circle to go to work.

The old ladies on the streets split into three groups, following Wu Xie and Fatty Wang as if they were taking a stroll, some dragged the old man to Xie's house, and some picked up their old phones and made calls.

I have to say that Yanjing looks very big, but in fact the circle is so small. Anyone picked out from the surrounding Siheyuan is a big shot.

"Grandson, if you don't do this for me, I'll break your legs when you come back!"

"Son! The public security here is not good! Your mother lives in a place where you say the public security is top-notch, but today I saw two thieves climbing over the wall from the Xie family!"

"Grandson! Hurry up and bring your men over here! I have captured two people for you! They are definitely worthy of the credit!"

It was the first time that the housekeeper of the Xie Mansion had encountered so many old ladies coming to his house, but each of them had a remarkable background. When they were young, they had all been to the battlefield, carried guns, and beaten the disobedient kid next door.

"Oh! What wind brings you here, Madam Sun?" Butler Xie is no pushover. The silver-haired old lady leading the group has the highest status among the group.

"Oh my God! Old Xie! How can you be so calm? Your house has been robbed and you don't even know it!" Old Mrs. Sun was supported by Butler Xie as she walked into the Xie Mansion.

Of course, how could a shrewd man like Butler Xie forget the group of people behind him, so he naturally arranged for other servants and maids to help him walk into Xie Mansion.

When we arrived at the reception hall of Xie's mansion, Butler Xie was greeting everyone with all his might. The tea they served was not something that ordinary people could afford. It was all taken out from Xie Yuchen's private storehouse. The tea leaves contained spiritual energy and were brewed with spiritual water.

"Oh! After drinking tea from big tree leaves for so many years, I still like the tea from Xie Mansion the best!" One of the old men, who was probably in his seventies or eighties, took a sip of the tea brought by Butler Xie, and he let out a long sigh. He felt his eyes brighten and he felt a lot more energetic.

"To get such praise from Mr. Li, it means that my tea was not brewed in vain!" Butler Xie smiled, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle Xie! I heard that Grandma Sun and the others are here." After receiving the notification from Butler Xie, Xie Yuchen quickly changed his clothes and rushed over.

"Grandma Sun, Grandma Xu, Grandma Yu, Grandma Pang, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Gang, good morning!" Xie Yuchen called out the names of everyone who came here one by one.

If someone in the system saw these people here, he would probably be shocked. After all, these are basically the people at the pinnacle of power.

Old Mrs. Sun put down the tea bowl in her hand and walked to Xie Yuchen at her inappropriate speed. She didn't feel anything, but Xie Yuchen was shocked.

"Hey! Xiao Xie! You don't know, we just ran into two sneaky people running out of your house at the entrance of the alley."

"Yes, yes! Xiao Xie! Is there anything missing from your house?"

"That's right! Xiao Xie, if you have any difficulties, you must tell us! Although we are old, we can still help you a little."

"That's right! I get angry when I think of my grandson who never comes home. It's Xiao Xie who's the best! He comes to give gifts to us lonely old people during festivals and accompanies us to the theater to listen to music."

Xie Yuchen was surrounded by this group of old men and women, but the kindness shown by these old ladies and old men made Xie Yuchen feel warm in his heart.

"Grandma Sun, nothing is missing from my house! All the items are fine! If you don't believe me, I'll take you over to have a look!" Xie Yuchen comforted this group of elderly but extremely lovely people.

"Maybe there is a young man who can't make ends meet. We have to give him a way out. These things in my house are all dead objects. If I can use some of them to buy one person's conscience, then I think our ancestors should be pleased, right?" Xie Yuchen naturally knew what these old people were talking about, but the most precious things in the eyes of the old people were all dead objects in his eyes.

Weren't these dead objects made by the ancients just to exchange for silver and fill their stomachs? Merchants spent silver to hire craftsmen to make porcelain, which was then transported to various places for sale. People who wanted to please the powerful spent a lot of money to buy them, and then let the powerful be happy to do things for them.

The craftsman used the money to buy meat to feed his family members, and bought cloth to keep them warm.

The merchants received silver money to buy clothes and jewelry for their beautiful wives and concubines. The servants and maids in the merchants' homes would serve them wholeheartedly with the monthly wages.

If a careerist wins the favor of the powerful, he will naturally move to a higher level.

As for the rich and powerful, they use the power in their hands to turn a blind eye to it. With just a little suggestion, they can get themselves a treasure. Why not?

Therefore, these dead things were clearly marked with a price from the beginning, and they were things that could keep people warm and clothed. If they could save the lives of some people who could not survive, it could also be regarded as another kind of value of these treasures.

"Alas! You! You are too easy to talk to, that's why you are bullied!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Xie. We'll talk to those insignificant kids at home when we get back." Grandpa Liu loves to listen to operas, and Xie Yuchen is Er Yuehong's disciple, so naturally he can sing. Whenever Xie Yuchen appears on stage, he will prepare a few tickets for Grandpa Liu in advance and invite him to listen to the opera.

The relationship between Grandpa Liu and Xie Yuchen is very close, just like that between a grandfather and his grandson. Grandpa Liu held Xie Yuchen's hands tightly, his expression solemn and serious, and said earnestly: "Xiao Xie! I know that you care about your relatives, so you are always kind to some things and are unwilling to make a decisive decision. However, sometimes, you must be resolute and resolute, and be ruthless to cut off those relatives who cling to you!"

At this moment, Grandpa Liu stared at Xie Yuchen with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through his innermost thoughts. Then, he continued to advise: "If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. Don't let yourself get stuck in a quagmire that you can't get out of because of a few people with bad behavior."

How could Xie Yuchen not know the deep meaning of these words? He knew in his heart that he would suffer from chaos if he hesitated when he should make a decision. However, he had promised his grandfather that he would preserve the wealth and glory of those collateral relatives for the rest of their lives. However, if these people were ignorant of good and evil and acted recklessly and made things too much trouble, his grandfather had also said in advance that they should be abandoned decisively when necessary.

Recalling his grandfather's last words, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. At that time, his grandfather was lying on the sickbed, his breath was weak but his eyes were particularly firm. He slowly said: "My child, if a tree wants to flourish and prosper, it does not rely on just one person or one branch, but requires thousands of roots buried deep in the soil to work together to support it. However, the nutrients that a big tree can absorb are ultimately limited. When many roots are intertwined and entangled with each other, it is difficult to tell which one is still intact and which one has begun to decay and rot."
