In the room, Bai Mian was sitting on the sofa, and his subordinates kept sending back news, but without exception, no suspicious person was found.
This made Bai Mian a little surprised.
He even began to feel a little shaken in his heart.
Could it be that I am really too worried? Yu Wenjie didn't come over at all?
It stands to reason that this is the case. The He family did not send anyone to support Yu Wenjie. How could Yu Wenjie, a woman, have the courage to come here to compete with her for square stones.
However, the fact that Xu Chen secretly entered Kiel's underground secret room always stimulated Bai Mian's nerves and made him never give up the search for Wen Jie completely.
Seeing that the dinner was about to begin, Bai Mian had to change his arrangements.
Bai Mian ordered his men to guard various key points near Bai Lou, focusing on monitoring Kiel's study.
In addition, he also notified the outside of the manor, and came to support and take charge of the cleanup. A hundred-man troops from the Kiel Manor were on standby outside the manor, and all suspicious people found were captured alive.
After everything was arranged, Bai Mian leaned back on the sofa with satisfaction, turned the silver ring on his index finger, and showed a smile that was sure to win.
"Yu Wenjie, as well as that mysterious figure, I have worked so hard to lay the dragnet. I hope you will give me face and be sure to be there!"
He still believed in his intuition that Yu Wenjie must be in this manor, secretly waiting for action.
Xu Chen sat across from Bai Mian uneasily, secretly looking at Bai Mian who was smiling evilly from time to time, feeling worried about Luo Chen.
The reason why Xu Xu was able to sit on the sofa was because He Guang had someone untie the rope that tied him up.
She didn't know why He Guang was surprisingly friendly to her, but after getting along with him for a short time, Xu Chen felt that He Guang was a very kind old man.
Therefore, before Bai Mian came, he could face He Guang and occasionally chat with him.
However, now that Bai Mian was back, Xu Chen saw that his eyes were still full of hostility towards her, and she became nervous again, not knowing how to deal with herself.
There was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper from the manor came over to inform that Bai Mian was attending the dinner.
Bai Mian stood up from the sofa and said to He Guang.
"Mr. He, I'll go to the dinner party first."
He Guang turned the two metal balls in his hands and nodded to Bai Mian.
Before Bai Mian left, he threatened Xu Chen again.
"Don't have any other ideas, your every move is under my surveillance."
Xu Chen nodded guiltily.
After Bai Mian left and only Xu Chen and He Guang were left in the huge room, Xu Chen felt at ease.
Xu Chen felt that He Guang was like an amiable elder. Although he was a former veteran of the He family of the ancient martial arts family, he didn't feel any pressure when he was with him.
He Guang closed his eyes and sat quietly in his wheelchair. If it weren't for the moving iron ball in his right hand, Xu Xu would have thought he was a statue.
He Guang said nothing, and Xu Chen did not dare to speak first, sitting upright.
The room was surprisingly quiet, with only the occasional sound of birds chirping outside the window.
Just when Xu Chen was sitting and about to fall asleep, she heard He Guang speak.
"Girl, no one is coming to save you?"
Xu Xu sighed, a little confused about He Guang's question.
He Guang repeated it again, and then Xu Chen realized that He Guang just wanted to ask about the literal meaning, and she answered with disappointment.
"I don't even have any companions, who can come to save me?"
"I went with you. Where is the man in the underground secret room? Does he not care about you?"
"Are you talking about Luo...Xu Sheng?"
Maybe it was because He Guang's attitude was so kind that Xu Chen let her guard down, and she almost subconsciously said the name. However, although she changed her words in time, He Guang still heard that something was wrong.
He Guang squinted his eyes.
"Oh, that man's name isn't Xu Sheng. What's his name?"
Xu Chen shook his head and said that he was wrong.
He Guang smiled.
"Forget it, forget it if you don't want to say it. Why doesn't he come to save you?"
"He probably doesn't know yet that I was arrested."
But even if Luo Chen knew that he was caught, would he come to save him?
Xu Shu is relatively pessimistic about this.
He Guang turned his wheelchair and came to Xu Chen's side.
Xu Chen noticed that He Guang was looking at him seriously and looked away with some guilt.
"Don't worry girl, I will let you leave safely after tonight's events are over."
Xu Xu once again heard He Guang's promise. The last time, He Guang asked Bai Mian in front of Bai Mian to let him go after tonight's matter was over.
"Thank you, Mr. He."
Xu Chen expressed her gratitude to He Guang, but she really couldn't understand why He Guang, as a white-faced person, paid so much attention to her.
He Guang showed a smile, making his stoic face soften a lot.
"Mr. He, can I ask you a question?"
Xu Chen asked He Guang cautiously.
He Guang laughed out loud when he saw that Xu Chen was still as cautious as walking on thin ice.
"Relax girl, if you have anything to ask, just ask."
Xu Chen nodded, letting herself relax a little, and her tone became normal.
"Mr. He, why are you so nice to me?"
He Guang looked at Xu Chen, his eyes surprisingly soft.
"You look very much like my granddaughter."
"Ah, so that's it."
Xu Chen smiled sheepishly.
After laughing, Xu Chen asked He Guang.
"So Mr. He, where is your granddaughter? Isn't she with you?"
Xu Chen was still thinking about whether He Guang's granddaughter would be in China. The longing for her across the sea was transferred to her, which made He Guang treat her so well.
However, He Guang's eyes dimmed after listening to Xu Chen's words.
When Xu Chen saw it, her heart thumped. She felt that she had said the wrong thing.
"My granddaughter, my son, and my family all died at the hands of my best brother."
He Guang said this sentence extremely calmly.
But Xu Chen felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She could feel He Guang's desperate grief from his calm words.
No wonder He Guang was so angry when he mentioned the He family at first. Xu Chen always thought it was just because one of his legs was crippled by people from the He family, but he didn't expect that there was such a blood feud behind it.
"sorry……"
Xu Chen lowered his head and apologized, not daring to look at He Guang anymore.
"Don't worry about it, girl."
Xu Xu looked at He Guang again. He Guang's face was full of vicissitudes of life. However, the betrayal of brothers and the loss of relatives happened to this old man. Xu Xu could feel that in He Guang's heart
of grief.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart.
Xu Chen sympathized with He Guang, but she could do nothing but sympathize.
Perhaps all she could do was to stay by He Guang's side to satisfy his longing for his loved ones.
He Guang pushed the wheelchair and went far away, with his back to Xu Chen.
Xu Xu felt extremely sad in her heart. She turned her head and looked out the window, where a waning moon was slowly being obscured by dark clouds. (To be continued)
