Chapter 805 I Will Watch You Quietly

This is the first rain after New Year's Day.

The temperature in the south suddenly dropped six to seven degrees because of the rain, and it finally felt a little like winter.

Shi Shijie wrapped himself in the long gray windbreaker and got out of the car.He told the driver the waiting time, and then rang the doorbell of Zhang's mansion.

The servant came out quickly and led him all the way to Zhang Li Lanfang's study, the old lady of the Zhang family.

"Boss Shi, I won't go in, the old lady is waiting for you inside." The servant left very politely: "I'll go get you a cup of tea."

"Thank you." Shi Shijie replied, "Actually, you don't have to be so polite."

Shi Shijie, as the veteran of the Zhang family group, has been staying since Zhang Qingrui's father's generation until now. Now, as the general manager of the group, he used to travel to and from the Zhang family as usual.

Knock on the door first, and after waiting for the response from the old lady inside, Shi Shijie tidied up his clothes and pushed the door open.He went straight to the front of the desk.

Since the old woman fell and hurt herself a few months ago, she has been recuperating at home.Except for the big birthday earlier, she has not appeared in front of people for a long time—of course, the old lady has always lived in seclusion in recent years.

There are still many people who want to meet every day, but they are blocked by servants wave after wave.

"Ma'am, you look much better."

"Shijie, you are here, sit down." Zhang Li Lanfang smiled.

"Where's Miss?" Shi Shijie asked as he pulled out his chair and sat down.

"That girl went to school, and said that the final exam is coming soon. She just changed the department and fell behind in her studies, so she has to work hard, and she came back late recently."

People like Shi Shijie, in the old days, belonged to the category of retainers, close people, and confidantes.

Modern people are impetuous and utilitarian. It is difficult to find a loyal and loyal person like Shi Shijie—that's why he can hold a high position in the group.

But on the other hand, it can also explain that the Zhang family is currently in a predicament that no one can use.

If Shi Shijie goes a step further, it seems that he can peep into the group's board of directors.

Some thoughts flashed in Zhang Li Lanfang's mind, but his expression was calm.She closed a Buddhist scripture she was reading, and then pondered for a moment.

Shi Shijie was quite enthusiastic about trying to figure out what the old lady meant, so he immediately said: "Madam, is there any trouble?"

Zhang Li Lanfang shook her head: "Trouble is not a troublesome thing, it's just that something is beyond my expectation... Or, as the old saying goes, things are impermanent."

"lady?"

Zhang Li Lanfang removed the Buddhist scriptures on the table, and there was a photo under the scriptures.She pushed the photos out a little, and Shi Shijie understood, and quickly took a look at them, showing a random look of surprise.

"Isn't this young man the lady's..." He looked at the old lady in surprise.

He recognized the young man in this photo, and even investigated his background - the young man in this photo was named Luo Qiu, and he was in the same class as Miss Zhang's family.

That class is a bit special, there are only Miss Zhang and the young man in the photo in class on weekdays.The old lady thought the young man had ulterior motives, so she investigated secretly.

It's just that later this class was cancelled, Luo Qiu dropped out of school, and it seemed that he had no contact with Miss Zhang's family after that, and the matter of the investigation was left alone.If the old woman hadn't suddenly taken out this photo and stimulated his memory, Shi Shijie would have almost forgotten the existence of this young man.

"Ma'am, why is this? Could it be that this young man has come to contact Miss again?" Shi Shijie frowned.

"If it's just this matter, it's still easy to deal with." Zhang Li Lanfang said helplessly: "An old friend of mine came to me yesterday, and he said he found the lost relatives and descendants, so please do me a favor and look it up carefully. Issues."

"Him?" Shi Shijie looked at the young man in the photo again in astonishment—the surrounding buildings didn't seem to be domestic, but seemed to be overseas, but he couldn't tell where they were for a while.

The photo was taken from the side, which is a bit like a candid shot.

"My old friend has already confirmed it." Zhang Li Lanfang counted the beads on his wrist, "You should check it carefully. Especially about his father. I heard from my old friend that Luo Qiu's father had an accident that year. Died, but the records are not very detailed, so go find it.”

Shi Shijie nodded, but wondered: "Madam, if we really want to investigate the background, wouldn't it be more appropriate for Ah Qi to take action?"

There are very complicated forces behind the Zhang family.On the surface, the Zhang family is in business, which is the result of the development of the old lady's industry after she joined the Zhang family.And behind the scenes, the old lady was originally a young lady of the Li family, and she also had some properties of her own, but she didn't make it to the public for nothing, but the Li family behind her, the annual profits that came into her account, were probably much richer than the Zhang family's group .

And the Ah Qi that Shi Shijie was talking about is now the person in charge of the Li family's business, and has a huge intelligence network.

"His father is a public official." Zhang Li Lanfang said indifferently: "Have you forgotten?"

"Oh... I remembered, it's the police." Shi Shijie nodded, "It just so happens that our group is going to give some funds to the Zanzhu in the bureau recently, so I'll ask their leaders."

"It's okay to ask, but don't say anything." Zhang Li Lanfang warned: "My old friend's identity is a bit special, so it's inconvenient to disclose it."

Shi Shijie was startled, and then nodded solemnly——if the old lady can use the word "special", then she is certainly not an ordinary person.

"You go, let me know as soon as there is any news." Zhang Li Lanfang waved his hand.

Shi Shijie nodded and left - he originally planned to go back to the company for a meeting today, but he remembered what the old lady ordered, and after getting in the car, he asked the driver to call back to the company and cancel today's meeting.

"...Also, make an appointment with Director Chen for me, and just say that I want to treat him to dinner."

"Okay, Mr. Shi."

……

Zhang Li Lanfang was still in the study, counting the beads and reciting the Guanyin Heart Sutra silently. After a period of silent recitation, he picked up the phone.

"Ma'am, what do you want from me?" It was an old and gloomy voice.

"Ah Qi, do something for me." Zhang Li Lanfang said indifferently.

"Ma'am, tell me."

"In some time, I may have an old friend who will return to China." Zhang Li Lanfang paused, and then continued: "His status is a bit special, but if he enters the country, he should have a way. But you still help me prepare a bit."

"Okay, I'll prepare a special passage right away. When your friend arrives, I'll have someone pick him up right away."

"Well, let's go." Zhang Li Lanfang nodded, and then said, "Is there anything special recently?"

"Madam, our family's business is normal, and I recently received an order, and I'm considering whether to agree to it. Originally, I wanted to find some more information, and then I would find you and let you make a decision."

Zhang Li Lanfang said: "Let's listen to it."

"The list was sent by a Japanese." Ah Qi quickly said: "He said that he has a special map on hand, saying that he can go straight to the main tomb of the real Qinhuangdao, and now he asks to cooperate with us to develop it."

"The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin?" Zhang Li Lanfang was extremely surprised, "Someone still has an idea for it... Is the map real?"

"I don't know, our people are still identifying, but several old masters said that the age of this map can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty. However, the structure shown on the map cannot be compared with any known structure diagram of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. Connected."

"Hmm..." Zhang Li Lanfang was thinking.

Ah Qi said again: "Madam, the country has issued an order a long time ago that no one is allowed to actively develop the Qinhuangling Mausoleum, either explicitly or secretly. What do you think we should do with this list?"

"If the map is real..." A gleam flashed in Zhang Li Lanfang's eyes.

As a Daedou family that has been passed down from ancient times, the wealth accumulated by the Li family is unimaginable... Although this kind of industry has been maintained, it is more just to prevent this technology from being lost, and there are even ancestral precepts. reason.

However, as a descendant of a Daedou family, I have somewhat of a complex with the legendary Qin Huang Mausoleum, which is an unsolved mystery.Several generations of the Li family have also devoted themselves to the excavation of Qin Huangling's tomb.

Of course, even if the Emperor Qin's Mausoleum can be successfully excavated in the end, it doesn't matter to Zhang Li Lanfang what precious secret treasures are dug up.

"Ah Qi, show me the map." Zhang Li Lanfang ordered slowly.

Regarding the Mausoleum of the Emperor Qin, the Li family had gone deep into it as early as the Song Dynasty, and a large amount of information had been passed down from their ancestors—this batch of information was even more than the official information held by VRAM.

This is a secret——Zhang Li Lanfang thought it was a secret that would never see the light of day until she turned into loess and finally passed it to Zhang Qingrui.

But now... maybe you can give it a try.

lifetime.

……

……

The elderly nun pushed open the door of the monastery room and came with a bowl of freshly brewed fish soup in her hand.

In the room, the young nun was working as a bedside, taking care of the unconscious little girl who was picked up from under the tree after the storm last night.

"Haven't you woke up yet? Shaerti, how's it going?" The old nanny put the fish soup on the bedside cabinet.

The young nanny...Xiaerti shook her head: "I still haven't woken up, Nanny Teresa."

"Possible child." Sister Teresa put her hand on the little girl's forehead, and slowly closed her eyes: "May the Lord bless you."

At this moment, the sleeping little girl's expression suddenly showed a hint of pain, and some fine beads of sweat suddenly ooze from her neck.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Xiaerti grabbed the little girl's hand with some heartache, as if this could give her some courage to overcome the difficulties.

Sister Teresa sighed, "I don't know why the phone call can't be made, otherwise we can call the doctor. It depends on the situation that she has a fever and her forehead is very hot."

"I don't know who is so cruel." Xia Erti was a little aggrieved, and reached out to grab the silver collar around the little girl's neck, and the chain with only a small piece left.

"You can feed her some fish soup." Mother Teresa said softly, "I'll see if I can get someone to help me and send her to the small clinic in the village."

Sharty nodded.

Sister Teresa left the room again, Sharti took a spoon and brought the fish soup to the little girl's lips, but found that she couldn't feed it no matter what.

Shaerti had no choice but to drink the fish soup by herself first, then bent down, put her lips on the little girl's lips, and then slowly transferred the fish soup in her mouth into the little girl's mouth.

This is not an easy job. It took more than ten minutes to feed a bowl of fish soup in this way.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after drinking the fish soup, the little girl's face seemed to look a lot better.

Xiaerti then fetched a plate of warm water, soaked the towel, then helped the little girl up, and began to wipe her face and neck.She had already changed into a clean set of clothes last night.

But the little girl had another nightmare just now, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and it's not good to be wet.Shaerti simply unbuttoned the little girl's clothes and began to wipe the little girl's back.

Products that don't need any maintenance, and don't need to apply anything. The skin of a little girl at this age is radiant and delicate, like a freshly peeled egg.

The warm rag wiped the little girl's back little by little.

Xiaerti suddenly raised her head, then let go of the little girl in horror, then looked at her hands... a little trembling.

Xiaerti quickly placed a cross in front of her, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, "Master, please pay your sinner."

Then Xiaerti gritted her teeth, quickly put on the little girl's clothes, and then covered her with a quilt, not daring to look at the little girl, and hurried out the door.

She was going to the auditorium, where she had to pray and be ashamed, otherwise she felt that she must not be forgiven... How could she do such a thing?
God!I must have been tempted by the devil!

……

Xiaerti didn't know that after she left in a hurry, a strange crack suddenly opened in the room - a distorted space.

A woman in black and white maid clothes stepped out of the crack and stood in front of the bed: the club's maid.

Looking sideways at the little girl who hadn't woken up, the maid of the club didn't show any expression on her face, and looked down at her coldly, making her look like a statue.

"I hurt the master, I didn't say I would let you go..."

The maid put her hand on the little girl's forehead, "Star of the Dawn... the original sin of arrogance, since you chose to fall in this place, then feel the glory of your father."

A black flame suddenly burned in the palm of the maid's hand, and the flame printed a black lotus mark on the little girl's forehead, then sank into the forehead, and finally disappeared.

"Enjoy your vacation."

After doing all this, the maid went back the same way, and the crack finally disappeared, and there was only the sleeping little girl in the room.

She seems to have stopped having nightmares.

……

drink!drink... drink! !drink--! ! !
In an abandoned building, Bucky was wearing an olive branch and leaf crown, and then grabbed his wrist, waving his arm one after another.

On the finger of the waving arm, there is also a silver ring.

drink--! !drink--! ! !
He waved it again and again, and more than an hour had passed, and Bucky's body was already drenched with sweat.

"what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a seemingly emotionless voice came from behind Bucky, which made Bucky startled, and turned around quickly—it was the maid in the club.

"No...didn't you ask me to practice?" Bucky swallowed nervously, "So I wondered if the effect would be better if I yelled out more forcefully."

The maid said blankly: "You just need to practice the spiritual power-enhancing meditation technique I gave you. The activation of the blessing ring and the gospel crown only requires spiritual power."

"Yes...that's it." Bucky nodded, always wondering whether this beautiful maid would suddenly tear his body apart and turn into a bloody appearance again.

snort!Even if you look better than Lucifer, don't try to lie to me!

Then, the maid waved her hand, and a stool appeared in the void. The maid sat down directly, and with a palm, an additional album appeared.

Bucky's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that this album seemed to be a cookbook?Recipe...recipe? ? ?
The maid opened the cookbook and looked down, "Meditate, my master is on a business trip, and until you get some grades, I will keep an eye on you and help you harvest your soul."

But I'd rather practice alone...

Bucky looked at the maid with quite a pain in his back... Don't you know that this will make people feel a lot of pressure?
suddenly.

"That's right." You Ye raised his head, looked at Bucky and said indifferently: "I will leave every day for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, and you can move freely...Starting today. Now, the distance There is still one hour and 37 minutes left for afternoon tea."

oh!Praise God!
