The outer suburbs of Longcheng, near the old industrial park.
Xiao Qing opened the door and got out of the car!
This Magotan was Mr. Lin's car. After knowing that Xiao Qing got the news, he lent this car to Xiao Qing.
Mr. Lin originally didn't ride in a car, but on his birthday, someone bought him one as a gift.
It’s not expensive, it’s a piece of your heart.
The old man, who originally had no means of transportation, happily accepted it.
After parking the Magotan on the side of the road, Xiao Qing frowned as he looked at the lifeless industrial park around him.
According to the map marked last night, it should be right here.
This industrial park is not even on the map. Looking at the ivy and moss covering the walls, you can tell that it has been abandoned for at least ten years.
You can still vaguely see the rusty signboard with the words "Longcheng Suburban Industrial Park" written on it.
There are no other buildings around here. Could it be that Wu Teng remembered it wrong?
In desperation, Xiao Qing drove around the industrial park to see if there were any other clues.
Just when driving to the back of the industrial park, Xiao Qing saw a small road!
This road is opposite to the industrial park. It is surrounded by tree-lined trees, so Xiao Qing failed to notice it in time when he passed by it just now.
After comparing the map, there is no information about this road, but since I don’t have any other clues now, I might as well drive over and have a look!
The sun shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves at least ten meters high around it, and falls on the ground in spots, as if the soul has been cleansed, and Xiao Qing's mood slowly calms down.
From the looks of it, the clues are probably gone this time.
This road can no longer be seen as it was before. No one has been here for many years.
After driving for about a kilometer, we finally saw a wall.
The fence is also covered with traces of moss and ivy. Looking in from outside the big iron gate, you can see that the yard is overgrown with weeds.
However, the security booth at the door and the road in the yard were all cleaned up.
Xiao Qing parked the car at the door and came to the door of the security room.
The security room covers an area of about seventy square meters, which is not too small. Many items inside are quite old. An old man wearing a faded security uniform was sitting on the seat, reading a magazine from an unknown date.
When Xiao Qing knocked on the door, the security guard turned around with a magnifying glass in his hand.
"Who are you looking for, young man!"
"Uncle, this turns out to be the Xiao family's manor, right?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"I want to ask, where have all the Xiao family members gone?"
While saying this, Xiao Qing took out the pendant and handed it to the old man.
Unexpectedly, when the old man saw this necklace, he was immediately moved with emotion.
"I thought I would never see this word again in this life, but I didn't expect it!"
"Uncle, do you know anyone from the Xiao family?"
The old security guard carefully observed Xiao Qing's appearance, pursed his lips, and muttered:
"It looks like it, it looks so much like it, it's almost like she was carved out of the same mold as the lady!"
Miss?
"Who is the lady you are talking about?"
The old man came back to his senses, opened the door, and said sideways: "Come in and talk, kid!"
Xiao Qing felt like he had found the right place, but the desolate look made people feel very contradictory.
This doesn't look like a place where people live. What happened to the Xiao family and where did they go?
The old man poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qing, sat in front of him, and slowly said:
"Most people have forgotten that there was a Xiao family in Jiangnan Province before, because the Xiao family split. I don't know what happened before the split, but I have experienced a lot in Jiangnan City in the past few years!"
Because of this pendant and Xiao Qing's appearance, the old man completely trusted this young man he had just met.
According to the old man's story, he came to the Xiao family to apply for a job as a concierge. The head of the Xiao family asked about the old man's family situation and learned that he also had a granddaughter who was in college. The family was about to run out of money for his granddaughter to study.
.
The old man's son and daughter died in a car accident. The old man, who was about to retire, had to find a job again.
After learning about these circumstances, the head of the Xiao family asked the uncle to stay and gave him a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month. He was very kind to the uncle and often helped the elderly concierge.
The old man had always been very grateful, until more than twenty years ago, on the night when the Xiao family's young master was born, the Xiao family hurriedly started packing their things and preparing to leave Longcheng.
Before leaving, the head of the Xiao family approached the old man and said that the manor would be left to the old man to take care of. If he encountered difficulties, he could just sell it.
As for their whereabouts, the old man didn't know, but he knew that they were related to another Xiao family. It seemed that someone wanted to drive them away and kill them all.
The Xiao family has been very low-key in Longcheng all year round, and they have only stayed for a few years, so there is no news about it.
The old man didn't even know what kind of business the Xiao family was doing, but he only knew that there were many antiques placed in the manor.
Later, a group of people came, and they seemed to have the same surname as Xiao. They ransacked the manor, made it a mess, and then left.
It took the old man nearly a month or so to clean it up alone. After that, he would clean it up several times a year. Now that he is old, he basically doesn’t go in anymore.
Even so, after the Chinese New Year every year, you still have to spend money to hire someone to tidy it up.
According to what the old man said, Xiao Qing was basically certain that the young master born that night was him!
Moreover, the old man took out a family photo from the drawer, with more than a dozen people on it, all old and young.
"The person in the middle of this photo is your mother, Xiao Yaru, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family at that time!"
"I still remember when I named you, the eldest lady said that she just wanted you to be an ordinary person in peace. With your current name, the eldest lady should be very satisfied!"
Suddenly, Xiao Qing's eyes were fixed on the face of this cheerful woman with a bright smile in the middle of the photo!
The woman looks very beautiful and delicate, just like those film and television actresses in the 1990s, but more noble than them. Next to the woman stands a handsome and handsome man, with eyebrows like swords and a square and serious face.
Needless to say, he could feel that this man was his father!
