Chapter 022: The Unexpected Turn of God
In the dark night, neither of them spoke, and walked silently towards the villa gate.
When I arrived at the door of the villa, Yi Qinglian turned around and said softly to Gu Xiaolin: "You wait here for a moment, I'll say hello to dad."
Gu Xiaolin could understand Yi Qinglian's special reminder that this must be the potential rule of the owner of Yishi Group, and as a guest, he should abide by internal regulations. Considering these things, Gu Xiaolin would of course nod to Yi Qinglian as a guest.
Yi Qinglian, Gu Xiaolin was so cramped, and her tight face suddenly burst into laughter: "Silly, I'm joking, you're taking it seriously."
Gu Xiaolin shook his head helplessly. He swallowed the words back when he was talking to him, and quickly followed Yi Qinglian into the villa.
As soon as Gu Xiaolin entered the villa hall, he looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a national face sitting on the sofa, looking at the newspaper in his hand while savoring the steaming coffee.
The middle-aged man looked very concerned, and seemed not surprised by the sudden visitor.
When Gu Xiaolin saw this middle-aged man, he already knew that this was what his father said about Uncle Yi Jianfeng. He is worthy of being a superior and full of airs.
Yi Qinglian, who was quietly observing the two men, suddenly felt that the atmosphere became a little awkward. She was smart and hurried to Yi Jianfeng, supported Yi Jianfeng's arm and said, "Dad, stop watching, a guest is here."
Yi Jianfeng smiled and suddenly looked mature, steady and generous. He deserved to be a person who has been struggling in the mall for decades. He was indeed extraordinary. He then put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up, looked at Gu Xiaolin with a smile, and said, "Butler Liu told me that you are Gu Tianhao's son Xiaolin's nephew. You haven't seen each other for many years, but you are a handsome talent." Yi Jianfeng pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained."
Although Gu Xiaolin was unruly, he still understood the basic humanistic etiquette. Moreover, his father specifically told him not to embarrass me. Moreover, Gu Xiaolin was so kind that he didn't want to be too polite. He just said thank you simply and sat down.
Yi Jianfeng looked at his daughter Yi Qinglian and said gently: "My father and I have been in love for decades. When Xiaolin arrived, he was a distinguished guest. Why don't you lose the opportunity to make a cup of tea to quench Xiaolin's thirst?"
"Okay dad."
Yi Qinglian knew that his father was very serious in normal times, but today he saw Gu Xiaolin very kindly and liked him. She smiled sweetly and said to Gu Xiaolin: "Xiaolinzi, do you want green tea milk tea or coffee?"
Although Gu Xiaolin immediately got to the point, he was embarrassed to not be enthusiastic, so he had to ask for a cup of coffee. Soon Yi Qinglian brought a cup of hot coffee and signaled Gu Xiaolin to try it, and Gu Xiaolin was worth following.
When coffee enters the mouth, it smells jasmine, sweet and bitter, bitter but not sour, sour but not greasy, greasy but not thick, and thick but sweet.
As a famous playboy in Donghai City, Gu Xiaolin has a deep understanding of all kinds of delicacies and drinks. However, the coffee handed to him by the young lady in front of him was the best coffee he had ever drunk.
With coffee leaving his mouth, Gu Xiaolin had a new view of Yi Qinglian.
This Yi Qinglian is not only very skilled, but also has the ability to make coffee, which is comparable to Duanmu Yuhong's tea ceremony.
When Gu Xiaolin's expression suddenly dimmed when he thought of Duanmu Yuhong, and endless sadness poured into his heart.
Yi Jianfeng, who had a wide vision, immediately realized something was wrong with Gu Xiaolin, the young man, and asked quickly: "Xiaolin, why do you look so ugly?"
Yi Jianfeng's voice was low and powerful. Gu Xiaolin immediately woke up from the pain, calmed down his mood, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Yi, I'm fine."
Yi Jianfeng paused and said, "Okay, I don't know, is there anything wrong with Kobayashi coming to Kyoto to find me?"
Yi Jianfeng got to the point, just in line with Gu Xiaolin's intentions. He looked at Yi Jianfeng and said, "Uncle Yi, my dad said that this thing can only be handed over to you alone." After that, Gu Xiaolin looked at Yi Qinglian again.
Yi Qinglian was so smart that she naturally understood what Gu Xiaolin meant. She glared at Gu Xiaolin with beautiful eyes, made a grimace and stood up and left.
When Yi Jianfeng saw his daughter Yi Qinglian go upstairs, his expression became serious and said to Gu Xiaolin: "Xiaolin, what is it, this mystery?"
Gu Xiaolin quickly took out the small brocade box from his body, handed it over, and said, "Uncle Yi, this is what my father asked me to deliver to you. My father told me to give it to you in person without anyone."
Yi Jianfeng kept staring at the brocade box in his hand and said, "So that's it. I wonder what the brocade box that Brother Gu gave him contains?"
Gu Xiaolin shook his head and said, "I don't know. When I came to Kyoto, my father told me not to open this brocade box because of curiosity, otherwise the consequences would be very serious."
After hearing this, Yi Jianfeng immediately showed a strange look on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Let me open it and see, this trick that Brother Gu is playing is too mysterious, I'm a little curious."
Yi Jianfeng didn't think about it and opened the brocade box in his hand.
The lid of the brocade box was covered with purple paint, with a little pattern on it. The bright light emitted by the chandelier just happened to be projected on the lid of the brocade box. Because the lid was smooth and delicate, the purple light reflected in Gu Xiaolin's eyes, which made Gu Xiaolin unable to see Yi Jianfeng's expression in front of him at this time, and even less clear what was in the brocade box.
At this moment, with a crisp sound of the lid closing, Gu Xiaolin finally saw Yi Jianfeng's expression at this time, serious, confused, and clear.
I don’t know what was contained in the small box, but the expression of a person who has been in the mall for decades changed.
Gu Xiaolin hurriedly asked, "Uncle Yi, what exactly does this brocade box contain?"
Yi Jianfeng was stunned, then said calmly: "Oh, nothing is wrong, your dad just tells me something."
Yi Jianfeng was obviously a little panicked, but he kept silent at this moment. Gu Xiaolin felt a little strange, but seeing the light inside the brocade box was obviously extraordinary, it should not be an ordinary thing.
Gu Xiaolin couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Yi, what is in this brocade box? Why do you think Uncle Yi's expression is a bit solemn?"
Yi Jianfeng looked at Gu Xiaolin for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, something needs to be dealt with. Xiaolin, please wait here for a while, and I will go." After that, he hurried out of the villa.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaolin had to sit there, anxious, so he had to continue to taste Yi Qinglian's coffee.
Soon, a series of footsteps sounded outside the villa door. Gu Xiaolin immediately became alert, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. He inexplicably felt something was wrong and was about to get up, but unfortunately it was too late.
More than a dozen tall and mighty men in black rushed in from outside the villa, and two of them instantly pressed Gu Xiaolin to the ground.
A familiar voice came to Gu Xiaolin's ears: "You, you, you, and you, are responsible for watching Young Master Gu, and the others will follow me."
Gu Xiaolin was pressed to the ground by two men in black and could not move. He wanted to struggle but had no strength. Because the matter was too sudden, Gu Xiaolin had no preparation and could only glance at the person who gave the order with his eyes.
But when he saw the person in front of him, Gu Xiaolin was surprised and couldn't help but murmur: "What's going on? Why did Uncle Yi treat me like this?"
Gu Xiaolin's voice was not loud, but Yi Jianfeng could hear it very clearly. So he lowered his head and looked at Gu Xiaolin who was pressed to the ground with an ugly face, and said, "Xiaolin, you can't blame uncle anymore. This is all your father's intention. Stay honestly."
Yi Jianfeng's words completely shocked Gu Xiaolin. He didn't expect that the result at this time was what his father meant. Does his father dislike what he had done before?
The words Yi Jianfeng said completely confused Gu Xiaolin, and his handsome face was covered with dark clouds.
At this time, Yi Jianfeng said: "Xiaolin, you may not know it yet. In fact, this is also the secret in the brocade box. As for what it is, my uncle cannot tell it."
Gu Xiaolin immediately shouted: "Why? Why can't I tell the truth? Uncle, since this is what my father meant, I have to understand what my father meant to me like this?"
Yi Jianfeng did not speak, shook his hand and signaled to grab Gu Xiaolin's two men in black. The man in black immediately let go of Gu Xiaolin who was pressed to the ground when he saw it.
Feeling that he had no restraint, Gu Xiaolin immediately stood up and looked at Yi Jianfeng with anger on his face, but he did not dare to act rashly. After all, he was a strong man standing here, and he could handle him by one.
Yi Jianfeng looked calm and obviously didn't care about Gu Xiaolin's eyes. Instead, he said to Gu Xiaolin sternly: "Xiaolin, this matter is too important, so it's better not to know for the time being. Listen to my uncle and go downstairs with my three men to a room upstairs and have a good rest."
Gu Xiaolin is not a fool either. Isn’t this explicit need to be under house arrest? Gu Xiaolin originally wanted to return to Donghai City immediately to find out the cause of Duanmu Hongyu’s death.
Now his father sent him a brocade box, but he was under house arrest. Is it his father's intention or Yi Jianfeng's intention? Gu Xiaolin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a heavy voice: "Uncle Yi, we have no grievances and no grudges, why should we put me under house arrest? I still have very important things to rush back to Donghai City. Please let me go immediately."
Yi Jianfeng ignored Gu Xiaolin and said indifferently: "If you are still like this, don't blame your uncle for being strong! This is all your father's meaning. If you want your father and Xuanshi Group to be intact, go upstairs obediently."
After saying that, Yi Jianfeng signaled to the two men in black behind Gu Xiaolin. The two men in black immediately grabbed Gu Xiaolin's hand. When Gu Xiaolin shouted in pain, his hands were already tied behind his back, as if he was being escorted to prisoners.
At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
It's Yi Qinglian.
Gu Xiaolin and Yi Jianfeng both looked at Yi Qinglian, but Yi Qinglian's pretty face was full of surprise and confusion. She walked down quickly and asked Yi Jianfeng in confusion: "What's going on, dad, why did you arrest Gu Xiaolin?"
Yi Jianfeng snorted and said, "What do the little girl know at home?"
