Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"My mother left something for my father before she passed away, but she only told me and my father didn't know about it. They had a deep relationship. As long as the news spreads that the thing is in your hands, my father will definitely come." Ji Xianchen said slowly.

Song Guwei looked at Ji Xianchen suspiciously, "Is this true? You didn't make it up just to save this fake guy?"

Ji Xianchen looked calm as he met Song Guwei's gaze, "No."

"Since there is such a thing, why didn't you give it to Fu Lan before?" Song Guwei still didn't quite believe it.

Ji Xianchen replied calmly: "I forgot. When I remembered, my father was already dead."

This is the truth, he really forgot.

When Ji Yuzhen died, Ji Xianchen was only two years old. How could a two-year-old child remember so many things?

Ji Xianchen learned that Ji Yuzhen had left something behind when he was five years old.

At that time, he had been sent to the Ji family by Fu Lan, and the only luggage he brought was a storybook.

That storybook meant a lot to him because it was the story his mother often told him when she was alive.

One day, Ji Xianchen, who already knew how to read, accidentally found the handwriting left by Ji Yuzhen in a book, and then he realized that she had left something behind.

But he didn't tell Fu Lan at that time.

At that time, he was very angry about Fu Lan's inaction on Ji Yuzhen's death. He thought that his father did not deserve his mother's relics, so he chose to conceal it.

As a result, he kept it a secret for more than ten years, and as time went by, he gradually forgot about the matter.

It was not until recently when he learned that Fu Lan had faked his death that he remembered it again.

Ji Xianchen originally planned to use these things to question Fu Lan, but he didn't expect that he would have to use them to save people in the end. It was quite helpless to think about it.

"Where is the thing now?" Qi Man stopped Song Guwei who was about to continue questioning him and asked Ji Xianchen.

Ji Xianchen: "It's hidden in the Xuan Palace."

"You're the only one who knows?"

"Yes."

Qi Man turned her gaze to Shen Lingtan and Li Qingchi, asking for their opinions, "What do you two think?"

Shen Lingtan pondered and said, “You don’t have to kill him, but you have to keep him. Wait until the things you bring can really make Fu Lan show up, and then let him go.”

"can."

Ji Xianchen didn't hesitate and agreed directly, but he continued, "But I want to talk to him alone first."

Li Qingchi waved his hand, which meant he agreed, and also instructed: "Find someone to go to Xuan Palace with him and bring the things over."

The matter had been settled, Ji Xianchen turned and walked out, and the fake Fu Lan hurriedly followed him.

When they reached a place where no one could hear them, the fake Fu Lan immediately bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Third Brother."

The fake Fu Lan, also known as Naito, knew that he had caused trouble for Ji Xianchen.

Ji Xianchen did not blame him, but asked calmly: "Are they all here?"

Through Naitu's little movements, Ji Xianchen recognized him.

Ji Xianchen was not surprised by his appearance in Xuanzhou. It should be that Qin Shuheng told them about his situation, which is why they came to Xuanzhou.

And as expected, the idea of ​​impersonating Fu Lan was proposed by Qin Shuheng.

"Yes... Actually there are more than four of us, there is also... Master Xingyuan." Naito answered with his eyes closed.

Ji Xianchen frowned, "Why is he..."

Naito quickly explained, "We didn't want to do that either. It was Master Xingyuan who threatened to die. He held a porcelain shard against his neck and said that if we didn't let him come, he would die right in front of us. We really had no choice but to take him with us."

This is indeed something Ji Xingyuan can do.

Since he's already here, if he's sent back now he'll definitely make trouble again, so Ji Xianchen decided to let him stay in Xuanzhou for the time being.

Not only did Ji Xianchen ask these questions, he also had something else to tell Naitu.

"You are here, you have a chance to find out about Chao Chao and see where she is being held."

Fortunately, it was Naitu who came. He was an expert at picking locks and most locks were no problem for him. He was also good at gathering intelligence, so it was most appropriate to entrust him with the task of finding Hua Chaochao. This was also the reason why Ji Xianchen agreed to let him stay without hesitation.

If it was one of the other three people who came, Ji Xianchen might not have made this request.

When Naito heard Ji Xianchen's words, his eyes widened.

He still remembered that this was the Li family, so he quickly controlled the volume and said in a low but excited voice: "Miss Chao Chao?! Is she still alive?"

"Yes." Ji Xianchen gave an affirmative answer.

"Oh my God! What Master Xingyuan said turned out to be true. Miss Chaochao is really not dead!" Naitu was very excited and thought to himself: Third brother is fine, and Miss Chaochao is still alive. This is a double happiness.

"What?" Ji Xianchen was a little confused. What did "what Master Xingyuan said was actually true" mean? Did Xingyuan already know that Chaochao was not dead?

Naito quickly explained, "Just three days ago, Master Xingyuan said he saw Miss Chaochao, but we all just thought he was missing her too much and had an illusion, but we didn't expect it to be true!"

"Did he see Chaochao? Where?" Ji Xianchen asked.

"It was on the way. Luo Han also said that Miss Chao Chao was in the Li family's car at that time."

That makes sense, Hua Chaochao is indeed in Li Qingchi's hands.

As for why I saw her outside, the reason is not important, as long as I confirm that it is Hua Chaochao.

"Be careful when you are spying. If you are discovered, run back to Xuan Palace." Ji Xianchen warned.

Naito shook his head: "I can't go back to Xuan Palace, that would implicate you."

He knew clearly in his heart that if he really escaped back to Xuan Palace, wouldn't it be obvious that Xuan Palace would go against the aristocratic families?

The current Xuan Palace does not have the ability to fight against the aristocratic families.

Ji Xianchen understood Naito's concerns, "There is no such thing as being involved or not. Xuan Gong will reveal his cards sooner or later. There is no need to waste time now."

He is not like his cruel father who does not take human life seriously.

……

The Li family sent an elder to follow Ji Xianchen back to Xuan Palace.

It was the Elder Lu who led the guards to surround Xuan Palace five days ago.

Since setting off, Elder Lu had a grumpy look on his face as if he had been suddenly asked to work overtime by his superior, and he was cursing in his heart: Damn it, where on earth has that guy surnamed Shen gone? He used to do this kind of thing, and now that he's not here, all of this has fallen on me. It's so infuriating!

Elder Lu is a typical lazy person who likes to eat and do nothing. He usually tries to be lazy whenever he can.

There are many elders in the Li family, and he is considered the most useless one among them because he does not fight.

The other elders all vied to be Li Qingchi's right-hand man, giving him advice and seeking more benefits and power.

But Elder Lu always stays out of it, just muddling through day by day.

He did not demand much from himself. As long as he could enjoy his old age as the elder of the Li family, he would be very satisfied.

People should not always live such a tiring life. They should give themselves some leniency.

The car slowly drove into the Xuan Palace.

The two got out of the car, and Ji Xianchen made a "please" gesture, "Elder Lu, this way."

"Master Xuan, you are too polite. You are the master, so you should lead the way." Elder Lu said this, but he felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, it's always better to be careful.

Ji Xianchen didn't say much and took the first step.

He was not surprised by Elder Lu's caution. Anyone who could become an elder in a family would not be a fool.

The news of Master Xuan's safe return spread quickly in Xuan Palace, and many people rushed over after hearing the news.

When everyone saw that Ji Xianchen came back with Elder Lu, they were excited and curious at the same time.

Ji Xianchen looked straight ahead and led Elder Lu straight into the palace.

"Master Xuan, you are back!"

As soon as I entered the house, Qin Shuheng's voice rang out.

He came from the boxing ring, covered in sweat.

Ever since Nai Tu went to the Li family this morning, Qin Shuheng has been in a state of anxiety, afraid that it was useless and that Nai Tu could not save Ji Xianchen.

He was so nervous that he felt like vomiting, so he could only vent his anxiety by boxing like crazy to stop thinking about it.

Now that I see Ji Xianchen returning safely, I can finally put my mind at ease after five days of worry.

"Yeah." Ji Xianchen responded coldly, then turned to Elder Lu and said, "Elder, wait a moment, I'll go get it now. It just so happens that I got some good tea recently, why don't you sit down and have a cup?"

Elder Lu was very cautious. "No need. I'll just wait here."

Qin Shuheng was confused as he listened.

take what?

Also, where can I find good tea in Xuan Palace? They are all ordinary teas.

What exactly is Third Brother up to?

Qin Shuheng was full of questions, but because Elder Lu was present, he did not dare to ask rashly.

However, the next second, he heard the sound of someone falling to the ground.

He looked over and saw that Elder Lu had fallen straight to the ground.

"Third brother, what are you doing..." Qin Shuheng didn't understand again.

Where did this come from?

Ji Xianchen straightened his sleeves, which were a little messy from the fight just now, and said without explaining anything, "Watch him and wait for me here."

Qin Shuheng nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

Following his memory, Ji Xianchen walked to the place where Ji Yuzhen hid the items.

That's his room.

The things that Ji Yuzhen left behind were hidden in the wood carving above the wardrobe.

It was a sailboat, about the size of two palms, and was carved by Fu Lan himself and given to Ji Xianchen.

There is no doubt that Fu Lan loved her child at that time. She gave this wooden sculpture of a sailboat to Ji Xianchen in the hope that his life would be as smooth as a sailboat.

result……

Ji Xianchen reached out and took down the wood carving, stared at it, and suddenly, he sneered.

How ironic! Aren’t all the setbacks he experienced caused by his father?
