Ninth Symphony

Xinfu City, midnight, exactly twelve o'clock.

For someone who has been lurking in the shadows for more than a decade, this is definitely an exciting time.

A few days ago, Uncle Zhong took out the "old buddy" who had been sealed up by him for 20 years from the storage room of Xi's house. Although the blade was a bit blunt after not using it for so long, after a few days of sharpening, he could already see the brilliance of the year. .

He is an "old-school guy", and he always feels that he is not comfortable with a gun, and he has to have a heavy knife in his hand to be at ease.

"Uncle Zhong, are you all ready?"

An unusually familiar voice came from above, but it was slightly lower than the one I was used to hearing in recent years.

Uncle Zhong looked up the escalator and saw that the speaker was going downstairs, so he nodded and stood up and said, "Ready, young master."

The person who came down the stairs had a face carved out of the same mold as Xi Le's, with the same handsome eyebrows and eyes, but the outline was sharper and more awe-inspiring than Xi Le's. At first glance, he felt a chilling aura approaching him.

This person seems to be Xi Yin who has been missing for three years.

Uncle Zhong didn't express anything special about Xi Yin's appearance, but when he saw another man appearing behind Xi Yin, he quietly tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.

However, this small action could not escape the eyes of the person behind Xi Yin.

"Grandpa, you don't have to be so hostile to me." That man had a good face of a playboy, but he smiled with a bit of coldness. He seemed to be only about 30 years old, and his body was full of knives. The bloody smell soaked in the light and blood shadow was already so thick that even Uncle Zhong, an "old Jianghu", felt uncomfortable smelling it.

Hearing that Uncle Zhong didn't pay attention, he still kept holding his weapon tightly and stared at him guardedly.

The man seemed to spread his hands helplessly, walked around Xi Yin a few steps and walked up to Uncle Zhong, looking like he was going to ask for some theory.

"Ji Shi." At this moment, Xi Yin called faintly from behind him, with a hint of threat in his voice.

The man named "Ji Shi" paused, stopped three steps away from Uncle Zhong, turned his head and smiled at Xi Yin: "Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything."

Xi Yin didn't reply to his words, and after coming over, he put his hand on Uncle Zhong's shoulder lightly, with a calm expression that didn't match his age: "Uncle Zhong, you said you trust my judgment, right?"

Uncle Zhong nodded slightly: "Yes."

Xi Yin put more force on his hands, and patted twice: "Since you trust me, let's live with him peacefully for now, and let's spend tonight before talking about other things."

Uncle Zhong lowered his head, and the hand holding the knife dropped to his side: "Yes."

Ji Shi watched from the side and couldn't help but chuckle: "As expected of the young master of the Xi family, what you say has weight."

"It's not your style to say things that are obvious." Xi Yin raised his eyelids, his gaze was as cold as a pool of water, and he paused for a few seconds when he glanced at Ji Shi, "Have you arranged all the people?"

"Everything is in place." Ji Shi snapped his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "Yinzi, let me tell you first, I can't guarantee that I will catch a 'big fish' tonight, I guess it's mainly some random fish military."

The corner of Xi Yin's mouth twitched quickly when he heard this, and his smile was so shallow that it was fleeting: "The miscellaneous army is useful for the miscellaneous army. If they don't come, how can we lure the snake out of the hole. For this 'big fish', although it is smaller than the bastard I'm still cautious, but it's not that I've gained nothing after following for so long. In the past, he refused to show up because he didn't have enough bargaining chips. Now all the chips have been released. If he doesn't show up again, he will face the danger of being robbed by others. I If you don’t believe him, he’s not in a hurry.”

Ji Shi nodded: "He must be in a hurry. He was so anxious to 'destroy the evidence' before, which is enough to prove that we are looking in the right direction. He can't sit still."

Xi Yin: "Well, play steadily and adapt to the situation."

Uncle Zhong listened to the conversation between the two of them, and finally couldn't help interrupting at this moment: "Master, can I take a moment to talk?"

"Oh, who are you guarding against, old man?" Ji Shixian said sarcastically.

Xi Yin glanced at him, then turned her gaze to Uncle Zhong: "Go to the study. I'll leave the outside to you first, so keep an eye on it."

He said the last sentence to Ji Shi. Ji Shi shrugged his shoulders to show that he knew, and casually lifted the bangs that were longer than the peak of his eyebrows to his forehead, exposing his entire forehead, and he took another bang from his wrist. The rubber cord casually tied the bangs behind the head, and the whole person suddenly looked a lot leaner.

Xi Yin understood that he meant that he had become serious, but he was incapable of accepting the complex of "I change my look and I will no longer be that useless me" in the second grade, so I had to purse my lips forcibly. Swallowed back some harsh sarcasm.

Although this is not the first time, every time I see him doing this, I feel ashamed.

Xi Yin rolled her eyes silently with her back to Ji Shi, and then entered the study room with Uncle Zhong who had already walked a while ahead.

"Eldest young master—" Uncle Zhong turned around and looked at Xi Yin with a serious face as soon as he entered the door, but before he could speak, Xi Yin waved his hand gently at him.

Xi Yin: "Uncle Zhong, I know what you want to say, but now is not the time."

Uncle Zhong's eyes paused, and he hesitated to speak for a while, but what he wanted to say was blocked in his throat by Xi Yin's resolute gaze.

He found that as he got older, Xi Yin became more and more similar to the former Xi Zhuoyun.

"Aside from that, is there anything else?" Xi Yin asked at this time.

"Yes." Uncle Zhong touched his chest subconsciously, and said very seriously: "Young master, the authenticity of the manuscript—"

"You don't need to tell me." Xi Yin interrupted his voice again, and there was an unfathomable expression on his young face, but it didn't seem disobedient, it just made people feel a little weird.

Xi Yin's eyes moved to the study door, as if he was observing the person on the other side through the door, and said in a low voice: "Where is the authentic work, it's better for me not to know for the time being."

Uncle Zhong couldn't help frowning: "...Since you have doubts about him, why did you bring him back together? Even let him participate tonight."

Xi Yin: "There are degrees of suspicion. I will only let him do things within the scope of my trust. You don't have to worry."

Because what he said was too firm, Uncle Zhong didn't express any doubts, and only sighed slightly: "Actually, you shouldn't have come back at this time..."

"No, I have to come back." Xi Yin looked at him, his gaze slowly sank. "I know that you and Master deliberately transferred Xiao Le away from Xinfu in order to ensure his safety, but it is not enough to transfer everyone's attention away from him."

Uncle Zhong naturally understood what he meant, "However, this will put you in a dangerous situation."

Xi Yin smiled indifferently when he heard the words: "Why are you afraid of danger? In the past three years, I haven't had a few days of steady life. I'm used to it."

Uncle Zhong: "Young Master..."

Xi Yin: "Uncle Zhong, you also know that at this point in time, the Xi family cannot be without a head of the family. If Xiao Le and I are not in Xinfu, there will definitely be people who suspect our motives and whereabouts. It is possible to search from all over the world, and Xiao Le will no longer be safe, isn't this what you want to see?"

Without waiting for Uncle Zhong to answer, Xi Yin continued: "The vast majority of people outside still think that 'Xi Le' has fallen off a cliff and died. As long as I appear at Xi's house at this time, their attention will be attracted. The status of the 'heir' of the Xi family can only ensure that he grows up safely, and after that, it is safer to let him return to his original status."

Uncle Zhong's expression suddenly became a little surprised, as if he wanted to express something but held back.

"My parents aren't here, so there's not much I can do for him." Xi Yin suddenly whispered again, "I hope—"

I hope Xi Yin can't finish in time, because right after they heard a few loud gunshots from outside.

Xi Yin and Uncle Zhong looked at each other immediately, and their eyes became alert in an instant. They made a gesture and gently opened the study door, but Ji Shi who was hiding at the door just happened to touch him in.

"You guys have been talking for a long time, people are calling in." Ji Shi said as he loaded the gun without any confusion, and said to Xi Yin: "There are more people here than we expected, my People probably won't last long, they can't stay in the room waiting to die, they must take the initiative."

Xi Yin's eyes were sharp. Hearing his words, the butterfly｜knife had already turned twice in his hand, and said with a sneer, "It's exactly what I want. I also want to see who is so fearless of death."

"Don't lose your life while watching." Ji Shi gave him a meaningful look, "I'm afraid it will be a tough battle next."

Xi Yin hooked the corner of her mouth: "Isn't that right in your arms?"

If it is not a tough battle, the person you are looking for will not come out.
