Getting closer and closer to the capital, a sigh came from Jiang Qian's ears: "According to this time, the training for powerful people is coming to an end, right? Jiang Qian, you completely missed the opportunity to get to know the powerful people at the same level in depth.
.”
"That's such a pity." Jiang Qian's eyes remained outside the car window, seemingly immersed in the receding night scene.
Lan Junxian's palm fell on Jiang Qian's shoulder: "Don't be distracted, this matter is closely related to you."
Closely related? Oh... Jiang Qian then withdrew from his deep thoughts on the Shenshan incident.
Thinking of Ji Ming's previous similar hints in this regard: Task Operations Department, default quota... It seems that he has been involved in a new incident without knowing it.
"Maybe not after today."
The person who spoke this time was Ji Ming, his tone was as cold as ever, and his emotions could not be heard.
But it seems to imply that tonight's result will affect the direction of everything in the future.
Lan Junxian wanted to speak but stopped.
Jiang Qian still looked out the window and remained silent.
In a quiet atmosphere, the car slowly drove the three people into a manor. The hazy night could not conceal the scale and grandeur of the manor. Its level of extravagance even surpassed Ji Ming's mansion in Jinping.
In the capital city where every inch of land is at a premium, such a luxurious residence is rare.
Here is the permanent residence of the highest authority of the Predator family - "Venerable White Tiger".
"Has she arrived?"
"Arrived, waiting."
A brief conversation took place between Lan Junxian and Ji Ming.
As the trip continued to advance, Jiang Qian's mood also changed: his goal was achieved!
Finally, we have to negotiate with the most powerful person in the Predator family, the head of the three major families.
As the son of Tuxue Chengmei, the official special status holder, as the successor of the Holy Mountain Organization and the "cage" of the unconventional ancestral god's power, he has too many questions that need to be answered.
In contrast, in order to obtain the answer, he also prepared corresponding chips.
After a long transition, the group met with Elder Helian of the Predator family in the lobby of the guest building.
Elder Helian is still wearing a classical and dignified black robe, with red hair reaching his hips, and his appearance is hidden behind an exquisite mask. His earthly aura complements this luxurious and noble mansion.
Ji Ming and Lan Junxian stopped here.
"Elder Helian." Jiang Qian continued to step forward.
Elder Helian nodded slightly, turned around, and led Jiang Qian towards the inner hall.
The two of them walked into the inner hall one after another. Jiang Qian followed Elder Helian's steps into the elevator hall and watched the elevator door with its finely crafted edges closing slowly.
His eyes fell on Elder Helian's back again.
Different from the last time they met in public, this time, Jiang Qian's spiritual vision could not detect the projection of Elder Helian's energy structure. Even if it was just an unreal shadow, he could not see it at all.
Not only that, the situation outside the elevator and the internal structure of the mansion are completely invisible. Obviously, there are considerable restrictions inside the mansion to prevent prying eyes.
"Surprisingly."
While Jiang Qian was thinking to himself, Elder Helian in front of him suddenly spoke.
It seems that he is lamenting Jiang Qian's changes, or is confused by the "excessive" request he made hastily:
"I have seen many people like you who have risen from the grassroots to the powerful in just six months. There are also people who are as talented and capable as you. But I have never heard of anyone who has just entered the powerful stage.
He made a request to communicate alone with the family supreme."
Elder Helian paused intentionally, but Jiang Qian remained silent.
He glanced at the radio device in the elevator hall and realized that these words were not necessarily meant for him. Therefore, there was no need to respond.
"What's even more incredible is that Your Majesty actually agreed to meet you."
Elder Helian's tone softened, with a slight smile:
"It seems I must have missed some important information."
After her words fell, the elevator door opened again with a "ding".
Jiang Qian nodded and thanked him, followed his gesture and walked out, then walked towards the corridor in front without looking back.
The exquisite carpet is spread out, leading forward to a double door at the end.
While Jiang Qian secretly admired the luxurious and spacious interior space of this mansion, he also cheered up the spirits of the people he was about to meet.
Success or failure lies in this most critical conversation!
Whether he can successfully learn the truth of that year and whether the current bargaining chip can win a living space for the Shenshan Organization all depends on this conversation.
The opportunity is right in front of you.
The door opened in front of Jiang Qian.
An old man with white beard and hair but a straight body stood in the room. He was wearing a gray suit with vertical stripes and rimless glasses. His face was sharp and angular. The two mustaches under the bridge of his nose made the old man energetic and majestic.
Jiang Qian concentrated for a while, then slowly moved his eyes away from the old man and landed on the three-legged round table next to him.
There, there is a hand-dial telephone from the Republic of China period.
"You are a hidden dragon, don't use it?"
the old man asked gently.
"Exactly."
Jiang Qian stopped where he was and treated him with the same courtesy: "May I ask who you are?"
Hearing this, the old man smiled: "I am the housekeeper of this mansion, you can call me Lao Di."
Sure enough, the old man in front of him was not the White Tiger himself.
"Steward Di." Jiang Qian nodded.
Then, things went as Jiang Qian expected. Butler Di stretched out his hand to make a standard "please" and directed his eyes to the phone on the round table again. While dialing, he said to Jiang Qian:
"His Holiness is already waiting for you."
The call went through.
Butler Di looked at Jiang Qian with a smile and politely motioned for him to come closer.
The top position in the Predator family, the leader of the three major families, "Venerable White Tiger", is waiting on the other end of the phone.
"Thank you."
Jiang Qian walked forward, took the phone from the old man's hand, put it to his ear and said:
"I'm a hidden dragon, don't use it."
His voice was smooth and calm, and his expression was determined, which made Butler Di, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Butler Di then silently exited the room and closed the door.
Jiang Qian was the only one left in the huge room, holding the phone and waiting for feedback from the person on the other side of the receiver.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a while, a loud and steady voice came through the receiver:
"Are you Xuesong's son, Jiang Qian?"
Xuesong’s son, Jiang Qian...
This confirming question immediately stunned Jiang Qian on the spot.
It’s not that you can’t use hidden dragons, it’s not that you become plum blossoms by stepping on the snow, but it’s “Jiang Qian, the son of cedar”!
The information conveyed by Ji Ming should be limited to the unknown relationship between the Hidden Dragon and the ancestors of the Predator family who "walked on the snow to become plum blossoms". However, the high-ranking White Tiger Venerable who spoke on the phone directly revealed that he and his father
The real names point out the relationship between them.
However, this was not beyond Jiang Qian's understanding.
His calm mind quickly figured out a logic he could rely on:
If his father served the Predator family in a special capacity, and as Our Lady of the White Snake said, he washed his hands in a golden basin and escaped unscathed, then his father and the Jiang family behind his father must be within the sight of the top officials.
Therefore, Venerable White Tiger, who is at the top of the official hierarchy, should certainly know who Qianlong Wuyong is!
This can also explain why when he faced an identity crisis during the danger level assessment, the Predator family coordinated and put him under Ji Ming's command... In the blink of an eye, many of the reasons that were once confusing were answered.
But at the same time, more questions followed.
Jiang Qian subconsciously squeezed the phone...
In the suffocating silence, he heard the other party's second sentence:
"I know you have many questions about your father's identity. It doesn't matter, I will answer them for you."
The voice on the other side was still calm and powerful, with the unique magnetism of a male elder, and inadvertently released some kind of friendly message.
Jiang Qian calmed down for a moment.
He was still in the middle of a conversation with high-level officials, and he knew that the reason he relied on for this opportunity for direct dialogue was not his father's identity or his glory, but... the unconventional power that had been sealed away by the Shenshan Organization for many years!
After clarifying this point, Jiang Qian finally relaxed a little.
Even if the truth is at your fingertips, you still have to be patient.
"You have known who I am since I joined the official team, right?"
The other person paused for two seconds and replied:
"right."
Extremely candid.
And added specific facts: "So I arranged for you to be under Ji Ming's command and receive his protection and supervision."
"Supervision?" Jiang Qian is no stranger to this term.
"Your trial copy is the "Whispers of the Inner Demon", which is also known as the newcomer's grave. The overall rating is 'extremely dangerous'. Even though you are a child of Cedar, the official cannot ignore the risk of losing control of you. Therefore, you do not know why.
It is objective to be responsible for supervising and evaluating you based on your emotions."
The voice in the microphone calmed down for a moment, slowed down, and continued to speak frankly:
"Please forgive me for having to do this. I know that the identity of the official family members of famous generals has caused a lot of trouble to the Jiang family, and it has taken away your peace more than once, until Xuesong left. I deeply regret this."
"But an organization has its own rules and logic for its operation. I can only give you the shelter you deserve under limited conditions."
Venerable White Tiger's words revealed a lot of information.
The questions swirling in Jiang Qian's mind were stirred up: Has it caused a lot of trouble to the Jiang family? What does it mean?
Taking away the peace of the Jiang family more than once? What does this refer to?
All of the above, from the words of Venerable White Tiger, turned out to be incidents that happened before my father passed away.
So, what happens after this?
Venerable White Tiger claims that he has been doing his best to provide shelter to the Jiang family. Is he willing to speak out on these issues?
Jiang Qian was not completely sure.
He is very sober and his bargaining chips are actually very limited.
What he wants to exchange for, in addition to the information that is closely related to him, is also the living space of the Shenshan Organization.
"You seem to still have concerns."
Seeing Jiang Qian's delay in responding, Venerable White Tiger sighed softly and struck at the right time:
"Your father often mentioned you to me during his lifetime. He said that you were a smart boy, but too taciturn and rarely opinionated. Unlike your brother, who liked to act rashly and speak out for justice. So when I heard that you wanted to communicate with me alone,
, Haha, I thought I heard it wrong."
This is undoubtedly a reminder to Jiang Qian: The person who wants to talk to me is you! I have given my utmost sincerity, and it is your turn to clarify the main point.
He is worthy of being the head of the three major families, a man who can turn everything around! But since I can get on your "negotiation" table, it means that my bargaining chips are considerable... Jiang Qian listened to what the other party said calmly, without any hesitation.
Not distracted:
"Your Majesty taught me that the junior has two questions in his mind, and I would like to ask the senior to clarify them."
Since it is a negotiation, it is taboo to let the other party control the pace.
"Oh? Please speak."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Qian heard some kind of pleasant emotion in the other party's voice.
A sign of intonation that is unconsciously revealed due to "generating interest".
"You said you have been protecting our Jiang family, so is there any other hidden reason behind Jiang Yang's disappearance six years ago?"
Jiang Qian immediately mentioned the question in his heart right after the other person's words. It seemed like he was casually thinking about it, but in fact he had been weighing it for a long time.
Before his father's identity was confirmed, "Jiang Yang's disappearance" could be deduced from countless conjectures to any possible outcome. But now that he knew his father's identity, this matter could be solved.
There is a clearer direction for tracing the cause.
Undoubtedly, Venerable White Tiger, as his father's immediate superior, must know some clues.
Jiang Qian needs these clues.
It's not for some boring brotherhood - there is no doubt that he has no good feelings for Jiang Yang.
But as long as he thought of the expectant and confused eyes of Lafayette at home, he couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of this matter and make it a certainty! At least he would have an explanation for the old lady who was worried about her eldest grandchild.
After all, time waits for no one...
"What's your second question?"
Venerable White Tiger did not answer immediately, but asked Jiang Qian.
This actually made Jiang Qian smell a glimmer of opportunity, and then said:
"I want to know the truth about my father's death."
