After all, when she was still working as a corpse mover in the hospital, she once treated an old man, but the appearance of the old man at that time was somewhat different from the photo, which also caused Nie Xixi to not connect the two together.

But seeing the man in front of him now, the suspicion that had never appeared in Nie Xixi's heart was confirmed directly.

"It seems that the old man hasn't given up yet." Nie Xixi joked, and her face relaxed a lot.

"Yeah..." The man looked at Nie Xixi with a helpless look on his face, "But the company is not suitable for me, and I don't want to stay."

As he said that, the man looked at the house beside him, with some bitterness in his eyes, he just sighed softly, and put away the emotions in his heart the next moment, and smiled slightly at Nie Xixi: "Sorry, I said something a little bit Too many, do you want to find my father?"

"Yeah." Nie Xixi nodded, "If it's convenient, please inform me."

Hearing Nie Xixi's words, the man just smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and talk, but my father has been a little moody recently, and I can't guarantee whether he will see you or not."

As he said that, the man cast a helpless look at Nie Xixi.

Seeing the man's reaction, Nie Xixi gave him a grateful smile: "Whether you see it or not, thank you very much."

Hearing Nie Xixi's words, the man didn't say any more, just exchanged a few simple greetings, then turned around and walked towards the house behind him.

Nie Xixi looked at the man's back, unconsciously clenched her fingers tightly, and her heart tightened again.

Even if it is now confirmed that Mr. Lu is the old man he knew before, Nie Xixi is not at all sure about this matter.

As time passed bit by bit, Nie Xixi looked at the man who walked in, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Finally, the closed door in front of him opened, and the man came out in a bit of embarrassment, scratching his hair. The man who was originally invincible in the mall now looked at Nie Xixi with some dodge in his eyes. , unconsciously stained a touch of blush on the face.

"How's the situation?" Nie Xixi looked at the man in front of him and asked tentatively.

Hearing Nie Xixi's words, the man hesitated for a moment, then sighed lightly, and then gently opened his thin lips towards Nie Xixi: "My father let you in."

Looking at the man's reaction, Nie Xixi thought that Weibo would be rejected, but after hearing the actual result, Nie Xixi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The old man is willing to see me?" Nie Xixi looked at the man in front of him and asked.

Seeing the expression on Nie Xixi's face, the man gave a rare chuckle, then nodded, "Yes."

As he said that, the man seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Nie Xixi with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "But... If your father says something later, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Listening to the man's words, Nie Xixi finally came back to her senses, put away the emotions on her face, and gave a grateful smile to the man, just smiled and shook her head: "No matter what, the old man is willing Seeing me is enough."

Opening his mouth, the man looked at Nie Xixi as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just let out a soft sigh, then smiled helplessly, and said softly, "Go in."

"Hmm." The red lips parted slightly, and Nie Xixi gave the man a reassuring smile before turning around and entering the house.

After entering, even Nie Xixi, who was used to many big scenes, couldn't help being slightly shocked by the scene in front of him.

It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but when you step in, you will find that the furnishings in the house are all old objects, and there are even many objects that Nie Xixi has only seen in news magazines before, but I did not expect Well, this priceless antique seems to be just the simplest decoration in the house for Mr. Lu.

If it were a different scene, Nie Xixi might wonder for a moment if she had suddenly traveled to another time and space.

Just as she was stunned by the scene in front of her, the old man's old voice would sound behind Nie Xixi: "Girl, long time no see."

Hearing the voice behind him, Nie Xixi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately turned her head, looked at the old man behind her, with a gentle and respectful smile on her face: "Hello old man, it's been a long time."

Hearing Nie Xixi's words, the old gentleman just nodded with a smile, then sat down on the chair beside him, reached for the teapot beside him, and poured himself a cup of tea slowly.

"Sit down." Mr. Lu whispered to Nie Xixi while gently holding the teacup in his hand.

Nie Xixi was not pretentious when he heard Mr. Lu's words. He just smiled and thanked him softly, and then sat down respectfully in front of him.

Looking at the peaceful and kind old man in front of him, Nie Xixi pursed her vermilion lips. After sorting out her thoughts, she slowly said, "Mr., actually, I'm here this time because I want to ask you something."

Listening to Nie Xixi's words, old Mr. Lu paused slightly with his fingers holding the teacup. The kindness and gentleness on his face disappeared completely, but in an instant, it was directly transformed into a serious and cold one.

Putting down the cup in his hand, Mr. Lu turned the test to Nie Xixi in front of him, "Girl, you know it's not easy to meet me, right?"

Listening to the old man's words, Nie Xixi resisted the pressure in front of her eyes, her delicate little face was full of determination, and her red lips slowly uttered a word, with stubbornness: "Yes."

Nodding his head, Mr. Lu didn't seem surprised by Nie Xixi's answer, but turned his gaze to Nie Xixi again, and continued: "Isn't Shi Zhensheng having an accident because of this?"

Mr. Lu's words were not euphemistic at all, and he directly said the things that Nie Xixi cared most about and that made her heartache the most.

Nie Xixi clenched her fingers unconsciously. The scene at Shi Zhensheng's house uncontrollably resurfaced in her mind. She bit her lower lip tightly. Nie Xixi didn't even know what to say for a while. What.

After all, as Mr. Lu said, this incident was indeed the cause of Professor Shi's death.

Taking a deep breath, Nie Xixi looked at the old man in front of him, stood up slowly, and bowed deeply to the old man in front of him: "Mr. Lu, I know what I did is wrong, but If this matter is not stopped and dealt with, more people will be killed, and for your safety, I am willing to use my life as a price to protect it as much as possible."

She also knew that this incident was too rude, but just like the incident on Central Street before, she didn't know if it would happen again, but what if she didn't find out in time next time?
Will those innocent people become victims of their farce?
As long as she thinks of this kind of result, Nie Xixi only feels that her heart is suppressed and uncomfortable.

After Nie Xixi finished speaking, she just stood on the spot, keeping her body at a [-]-degree angle, maintaining a bowing posture, facing the old man in front of her, her thin figure was firm without any wavering.

Seeing Nie Xixi's reaction, Mr. Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak immediately, but slowly put the porcelain cup in his hand to his lips again, and sniffed it lightly, without disturbing Nie Xixi at all. Xi Xi planned to get up.

It went on like this for nearly an hour.

Nie Xixi still maintained the original movement, there was no slight fluctuation on her delicate face, but the load on her body caused some unnatural blush to appear on her delicate fair face, her body was unbearably stiff, her forehead There was even a layer of sweat on the top, and the clothes on his body were slightly wet with sweat.

There was even a slight tremor in the body, and the feet began to stagger slightly, but only the back was straight, and there was no wavering at all.

The load on the body, coupled with the recent physical exhaustion, Nie Xixi even felt a little dark in front of her eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, just when Nie Xixi was almost unable to stand, the old man in front of her finally let go The porcelain cup opened its mouth again.

"Get up." Mr. Lu's voice was flat, but still full of majesty.

Listening to Mr. Lu's words, Nie Xixi was still bent over, her delicate little face was tense, obviously showing that Mr. Lu would not get up if he didn't express his position.

Looking at the stubborn little girl in front of him, Mr. Lu shook his head with a smile. The old man brought a touch of helplessness on his face, but his eyes relaxed a little unconsciously: "Nie girl, do you think that the old man is me? People who are afraid of death?"

Mr. Lu's voice was faint, but it made Nie Xixi's body pause, with a touch of surprise in his heart, he immediately raised his head towards the old man in front of him, and there was undisguised surprise in his clear eyes: " So you agreed?"

"I never said that." Old Mr. Lu just shook his head lightly, rubbed his wrinkled fingers lightly on the wall of the cup in front of him, and then spoke slowly, with a vicissitudes of life in his voice, full of nostalgia "But now I want to remind you that the more you know about this matter, the more dangerous it may become for you. In fact, it is more difficult for them to touch me than to touch you of."

Having said that, the old man looked at Nie Xixi with serious eyes.

Looking at each other, Nie Xixi saw the seriousness in the old man's eyes, as well as the undisguised worry.

Listening to Mr. Lu's words, Nie Xixi's exquisite little face did not show any fluctuations, it was still calm, even those clear eyes were as calm as before, too calm, as if he had nothing to do with what he said I feel average. ,

"Mr., I've already been mentally prepared for this matter." Nie Xixi gently tucked the broken hair behind her ears, with a faint smile on her face, revealing a There was a sense of gentleness. After listening to Mr. Lu's words, the whole person became calmer than before, "I can't escape these things, and I can't escape them either. I know that my ability is limited, and I know that I can do it." It's nothing, but I still hope that this farce can be brought to an end."
