Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Xie Yuchen frowned, secretly complaining in his heart. Although he had no interest in these two troublesome guys, his father was out and had not returned yet, and the elusive Black Blind Man was recruited to live happily in some mysterious tomb, and he could not even find anyone around him to discuss countermeasures.

Recalling the scene when Wu Xie appeared, Xie Yuchen felt that something was fishy. Along the way, there were many checkpoints and strict inspections. Even if Fatty Wang had the ability to see through the sky and the earth, it would be impossible for him to successfully reach the door of Xie's house without alerting anyone. Obviously, Wu Xie must have been sent here deliberately.

At this time, Xie Yuchen was sitting in the study, with a piece of white paper spread out on the desk in front of him. The paper was filled with various names, among which Wu Xie's name was circled in red to make it particularly eye-catching.

Xie Yuchen stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked Wu Xie's name, muttering to himself: "Wu Xie, Wu Xie, what is so special about you that you have attracted so many people to revolve around you! And from the sound of it, it seems that someone had carefully planned everything before you were born, and will officially launch this secret plan once you reach adulthood..."

"Knock knock knock..." A crisp and rhythmic knock on the door sounded at the door of the quiet study, as if breaking the silence in the room. After hearing the sound, Xie Yuchen, who was sitting at the desk, quickly moved his eyes away from the messy papers on the table and glanced at the closed door.

Then, he waved his arm and without hesitation swept all the papers covering the table into the trash can at his feet. As the papers fluttered down, the trash can was soon half full.

Then, Xie Yuchen picked up the teacup that had been cold for a long time, tilted his wrist slightly, and the tea in the cup flowed straight into the trash can like a silver stream. After doing these actions, he said slowly, "Come in."

The person outside the door, who had obtained permission, gently pushed open the door of the study and walked in cautiously.

The man first bowed respectfully towards Xie Yuchen, then reported in a low voice: "Young Master, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang have gone to the guest room to rest as you instructed. But..." At this point, the man suddenly hesitated and his words became hesitant.

Seeing this, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but frowned tightly, staring sharply at the subordinate in front of him who seemed a little timid, and asked impatiently: "But what? Could it be that Wu Xie is some kind of monster? Can he eat you in one bite?" Faced with Xie Yuchen's questioning, the subordinate's body trembled involuntarily, and his waist bent even lower.

After a long while, the subordinate seemed to finally muster up the courage and continued, "However, not long after Wu Xie entered the room, I heard another strange voice coming from his room." After saying this, the subordinate lowered his head as if he was afraid of being punished, and did not dare to look at Xie Yuchen again.

After listening to the detailed and urgent report from his subordinate, Xie Yuchen's originally relaxed expression suddenly became as solemn as a dark cloud. He frowned tightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something extremely important and difficult.

The silence lasted for a long time. Finally, Xie Yuchen slowly raised his head and asked his subordinate again, "What's the situation with Fatty Wang now? Is there anything unusual?"

The subordinate quickly responded, "My Lord, according to the report from the people we sent to guard Fatty Wang, Fatty Wang did not make any suspicious moves after entering the room, but just kept asking the guards for various foods.

After he had eaten his fill and drunk his fill, not long after, the guards heard a deafening snoring coming from inside. "After saying these words, the subordinate seemed to have recalled the scene at that time, and a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Xie Yuchen nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating that he had already understood the situation, but then he asked again: "So, did the time when Fatty Wang fell asleep and the time when Wu Xie suddenly heard the strange voice happen at the same time?"

After a brief thought, the subordinate replied, "That's not the case. According to the information we have, the strange sound was heard from Wu Xie's place long before Fatty Wang began to sleep, that is, when he was still asking the guards for food, and the sound lasted for quite a long time. It can be roughly inferred that the strange sound came from Wu Xie's place at about the same time when Fatty Wang asked for food."

While listening to his subordinates' reports, Xie Yuchen tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if he was secretly analyzing the possible clues and clues hidden in it.

After his subordinate finished his statement, he gently waved his hand, signaling him to leave first, and ordered: "Okay, I'm aware of this matter. Next, you continue to closely monitor their every move. As long as they make reasonable requests, try to meet them. But you must remember one thing, you must not let them find an opportunity to sneak out of the door of our mansion! If you find any abnormal situation, come and report to me immediately."

"Yes."

After Xie Yuchen waved away his men, he leaned lazily on the back of the large and comfortable chair, slightly closing his eyes, as if all the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

However, beneath his seemingly calm appearance, his brain was working rapidly, carefully thinking over the complicated and confusing information just presented by his subordinates.

I saw one of his hands casually placed on the armrest, while the other hand was hanging naturally outside the armrest.

The fingertips of the hand that was hanging down were round and slender, as if they were carved from white jade, emitting a luster that was hard to ignore. At this moment, without any warning, a cluster of weak flames suddenly ignited from his fingertips.

The cluster of fire was like a meteor flashing in the night sky, fleeting, and then fell straight into the trash can under the chair.

In an instant, the waste paper in the trash can, which was originally soaked by water, quickly burned up as if a fuse had been lit. However, the magical thing was that the fire only flashed for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, all the waste paper had turned into ashes, without even a trace of dust.

At this moment, accompanied by a slight "creaking" sound, the window behind Xie Yuchen was quietly pushed open a crack. A black shadow flashed in like a ghost and appeared silently behind Xie Yuchen.

"Hei Xiazi, which desolate mountain or wilderness did you come out of?" Xie Yuchen said in a flat tone without even turning his head.

"Haha, Xiaohua, what you said is really unpleasant." The man called Hei Xiazi chuckled, his voice was low and magnetic. Then, he stretched out his body, jumped lightly like a flying swallow, and landed steadily behind Xie Yuchen.

"That's right. I've really gotten myself into some pretty big trouble this time. I was thinking of finding something for them to do so they'd be quiet, but who knew that in the end it all fell on my head." Xie Yuchen slowly opened his eyes, looked helplessly at the snow-white ceiling above his head, and sighed deeply.

"But judging from the hands of those people near your house, they shouldn't have all been at the door, and you just found out about it!" Hei Xia Zi still had that playful smile on his face, but for some reason, a chilling murderous intent emanated from him.

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, stared at Heixiazi calmly, and said slowly: "That means that my people have also been infiltrated, and the infiltration is very deep. Even the person who commands them is standing very close to me." After saying this, he just looked at Heixiazi quietly without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through the other's eyes to see through his true thoughts.

Hei Xiazi was still nonchalant at first, but after staring at Xie Yuchen for a few seconds, his brain, which had been blank for several seconds, finally came back to its senses. His face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Xiao Huaer, you are not doubting me! I swear to God, I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts!"

Facing Hei Xia Zi's exaggerated reaction, Xie Yuchen had no expression on his face. He mercilessly pushed away Hei Xia Zi, who was sticking to him like taffy, and said coldly: "I am not doubting you, but I doubt everyone standing beside me at this moment. Even if these people were handed over to me by my father, I would still be suspicious of them, so I don't just doubt you."

Seeing Xie Yuchen so determined, Hei Xia Zi immediately put on a pitiful look, and kept muttering: "Oh, oh, oh, Xiaohuaer, my true love for you is evident to all! This is simply alarmist, how can you have the heart to doubt me?" As he spoke, he hugged Xie Yuchen's thigh tightly and refused to let go, just like a naughty child.

"Oh! Hei Xiazi, you don't even believe what you said! Everyone in the underworld knows that Nan Xia is a money-grubber. As long as the money is in place, everything will be easy to talk about." Xie Yuchen said these sarcastic words, but Hei Xiazi acted as if he didn't hear them.

"The reason I like money so much is because of you! My little god of wealth, I have to save money for my wife~" After Hei Xia Zi said those thirty roundabout words, he immediately ran out of the study.

Hei Xiazi, who had just reached the door of the study, was pulled back by the whip on his waist before he could laugh. After the door of the study was slammed shut, the secret guards outside the study could hear Hei Xiazi's voice begging for mercy and the sound of fists hitting flesh. It was really a punch to the flesh.
