Chapter 43 Clues

The author has something to say: Teacher Yu: Gradually turning into a rabbit

After a night, I was still groggy, but fortunately, there was no class the next day.

Xu Zhiyuan went to Ming University early in the morning, and Yu Yao didn't want to see that bastard for the time being, so he avoided hiding.

He seemed to have a headache, sat on the edge of the bed and squinted for a while, and almost fell asleep again when he was startled by the servant cleaning.

He opened the door and went out, and the maid saw him and said hello, sir.Yu Yao nodded his head, and when he saw that he had just woken up, he reminded, "Mr. Yu is going to go out, isn't he?"

Yu Yao rubbed his brows and thought for a while, then said, "I'm at home today, and there's no class in school."

"But there is a coachman who has been waiting for you outside the mansion for a long time," said the maid. "He said you asked him to come and wait outside the mansion to pick you up."

Hearing this, Yu Yao suddenly reacted: "By the way, I have to go to the bank today, and I almost forgot." He went into the room to tidy up his clothes, and thanked the maid.

In front of the mirror, his expression just now gradually calmed down.He took off his white jacket, put on a shirt and a suit, and slowly put on his tie.But when he went to pick up the changed clothes on the bed, he stopped reaching out and stared at the quilt that Xu Zhiyuan had covered him yesterday for a while, then rolled it up together with his clothes in a state of distraction, and stuffed it into the closet.

He went downstairs and went out, and within a few steps, he saw the coachman the maid had mentioned.

Wu Xiaofeng, who was squatting in the corner, saw him coming, turned his eyes around and looked around, flicked the towel around his neck, and immediately got up to greet him: "Mr. Yu."

Yu Yao pressed his hat and nodded to him.Stepping over the pull bar and sitting on it, Wu Xiaofeng started skillfully, and said, "Where are you going, sir?"

"Tian Song Bank."

"okay."

In the early morning, the voices of the people are still thin, and there are scattered small stalls for buying breakfast, which are steaming.Yu Yao bought a steamed stuffed bun, sat on the car and bent down, took a small bite, and asked seriously, "Did you come to ask?"

"Hey," Wu Xiaofeng replied, "Wu Shenyuan did work in the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry last year, and he has a lot of contacts, and even the foreigners who are in charge of it get along well."

"Then did he go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau before he disappeared?"

"Yes, but the last place he went before he disappeared was actually Ji Rui Hotel. He went there with someone."

Hearing this name, Yu Yao frowned.

The owner of this restaurant was the one who asked Wu Shenyuan to ask for money. He heard from Wu Tongqiu that after Wu Shenyuan had no news, the boss came to see her.

Yu Yao gently rubbed his fingers with one hand, and said, "Who told you this."

"Oh, Mr. Yu, I just wanted to tell you," he stopped, took out a few silver dollars from his pocket, handed them to Yu Yao, and said, "The money you asked me to do is useless— —Didn’t I tell you just now that Wu Shenyuan’s popularity in the Ministry of Industry Bureau is good, but the strange thing is that the people he had close friends with, whether they were in charge or small patrols, were changed later. Walked away, didn't stay at all, and didn't leak the news."

The wrinkles between Yu Yao's brows deepened.This is no longer simply a matter of Liao De's "disregarding human life" of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. To make them go to war like this, Wu Shenyuan must have touched their pain.

A thought that frightened him flashed in Yu Yao's mind, and it had popped up from time to time before, but it was not as strong as this time-this Wu Shenyuan, it is very likely that he is a colleague who is engaged in underground work.

"I heard these words from Uncle Wang. He is the old captain of the patrol team of the Concession Police Department. He actually knew Wu Shenyuan, but he hid it deeply and saw things thoroughly. He hid there. He told me..." Wu Xiaofeng whispered, "He guessed that Wu Shenyuan was from the Tongpao Society."

Yu Yao calmly took a bite of his breakfast and said, "Don't talk about these things."

Wu Xiaofeng knew it well, patted his mouth, and said: "Bah bah, I'm talking too much, Mr. Yu don't blame me."

"No problem," Yu Yao said, "Remember to get closer to that Uncle Wang."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wu Xiaofeng grinned, rubbing the ashes on his nose, and said, "Uncle Wang saw that I had a good eye, and reminded him of his own son, and said that he would recruit me to work in the patrol team in the future. Monthly salary. I won’t have to pull a cart in the future, this father is in vain!”

Yu Yao smiled helplessly: "I originally helped you find a job moving books in Yangzhi Bookstore. But the time is not long, occasionally a few times a month, there is wages, and you can find time... What are you still willing to do?"

"Of course I would!" Wu Xiaofeng nodded eagerly, "The more jobs that can make money, the better."

"From now on, we will meet at Yangzhi Bookstore when picking up books. Don't run to the door of Xu's house blatantly." When we got there, Yu Yao said as he got out of the car, handed him the uneaten buns, and said , "Breakfast, hot."

Wu Xiaofeng was flattered to pick it up, Yu Yao walked a few steps, he called Mr. Yu again, Yu Yao turned his head, Wu Xiaofeng said: "Let me tell you one more thing, about Master Xu...may not be very important ……but……"

"Go ahead."

"Master Xu, he might... like men." Wu Xiaofeng said with a bit of embarrassment, "He said it when he was chatting with me, but I think you can know about it, because you will enlighten him... In fact, Young Master Xu also nice guy."

Yu Yao lowered his eyelashes inadvertently, and said, "Do you think he needs enlightenment?"

"Yeah, isn't this...a disease." Wu Xiaofeng said cautiously, "People say that this is a disease that rich young masters are prone to, just like smoking opium. If you don't quit, you will be ruined." .”

Yu Yao smiled slightly, with no expression on his face, he just said yes, straightened his tie, and went back into the bank.

The building of Tiansong Bank is full of foreign style, with stone walls and spires, and there are two white statues standing in the hall, dressed in "ragged" clothes and in "indecent" poses.Yu Yao claims to know a thing or two about Western art, and his aesthetics and thoughts are considered avant-garde, but he has been here many times and turned his head to look at this stone statue several times, always feeling that it is pure hooliganism.

Not long after he entered, besides the statue, he also saw an acquaintance.Zhou Nan came out with the document bag in his arms, and kept asking the person who guided him as he walked through the hall, saying, "I can learn Japanese. Our school has a foreign language class, and..."

"So the manager asked you to come here after graduation," the man interrupted him, maintaining a polite smile, and said, "We have no exceptions for accepting current students, even if you are a Ming university, but you only need to get a degree. There must be a huge advantage.”

"When the time comes, so many bright graduates will come here! I need money now. I told the manager about my family's situation. I guarantee that I only need [-]% of the salary before graduation...I..."

"I don't listen to bitter stories or play tricks here. I just know that you don't have sufficient relevant skills or work experience at all." The man had already made a gesture of invitation, stretched out his index finger, and still said with a smile, "You need You can go to restaurants and theaters with money, as long as you want, there are places in Huai City that allow you to work and study."

I don't want to go to those places to work, of course because it is not decent.

Yu Yao looked at the folds of Zhou Nan's one-size-up suit, and stopped for a while.

Zhou Nan's face was livid, he didn't know how to refute, and finally fled with his paper bag in his arms, passing Yu Yao on the way, probably because he didn't recognize him in embarrassment.

Yu Yao glanced at him, Zhou Nan disappeared at the door, the man continued his smile proficiently, and said: "Mr. Yu, you are here, sit inside."

……

Yu Yao finished his business all morning and returned home at noon.After the housekeeper set up the meals, he hung up his coat and walked into the room, where he saw Xu Zhiyuan who hadn't been here for a long time.

This man was reading a newspaper solemnly wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with his legs crossed and his brows furrowed slightly.Seeing Yu Yao walk in, he let out an oh, and said calmly: "Yaoer, you are back, waiting for you to eat."

Yu Yao said coldly, "Aren't you usually at home at this time?"

"It's not like I haven't been home all the time. After I finish my homework, I will come back naturally." Xu Zhiyuan took off his glasses and washed his hands, drying the palms and backs of his hands repeatedly, and said, "Mr. Yu, do you want to check?"

"No need," Yu Yao said, "I won't eat anymore."

Xu Zhiyuan said: "It's not good for the stomach if you don't eat."

Yu Yao turned a deaf ear and went upstairs.

The butler heard the sound and came over, thinking that he was busy, so he gave up the lunch time, and said: "Mr. Yu, if you are hungry later, tell me, I..."

"Don't bother," Xu Zhiyuan said to Yu Yao on the stairs, "little uncle, I'll take you to your room later." He added with a long voice, "it happens that I have a few thoughts blocked If I want to ask you a math problem, you have to think about it."

Yu Yao stopped and paused for a while.He suddenly went downstairs again, met the butler's strange gaze, walked to the table, finished a bowl of soup perfunctorily, picked up a cake and put it in his mouth, and said, "I'm full." He left the table and went to the stairs. Turning his head while talking, pointing at Xu Zhiyuan, said fiercely: "You don't need to send it."

After all, go upstairs and close the door.But in an instant, the Kung Fu door opened again, and Yu Yao added another sentence: "I work in the afternoon and don't explain the questions."

The door closed again.

"..."

housekeeper:"?"

He said: "Master, are you making Mr. Yu angry again?"

This time it seems to be more serious.

Xu Zhiyuan held his chin, stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said innocently: "The sky is blue and the sun is wrong."
