Ninth Symphony

On the day Xi Le and Du Nian set off, before they got into the car, they saw a figure rushing into the yard in a hurry, running all the way to them, wiped the sweat off his face and gasped with carelessness, saying, "Aiyo!" Oh, I almost missed it! Hurry up! Hurry up! Go!!"

It was Li Dong who came.

Xi Le looked at him inexplicably: "What are you doing here?"

Li Dong was still breathing, so he patted him anxiously: "What else can you do! Let's go together! Go, go! If you don't go, you won't be able to go until Mayor Li finds out that I am!!!"

Xi Le: "...Who told you to sneak out, didn't let you follow."

"Hey, do you have a conscience?! You want to drive me away when I come here out of good intentions, right? Stop dreaming! Get in the car! Brother Nian, let's go!" Li Dong opened the car door very consciously after roaring repeatedly. After sitting in, Xi Le was stunned.

Today, because we want to be as invisible as possible, except for Xi Yin and Ji Shi, he and Du Nian only told Wu Yi and Li Dong about Du Nian's departure, in order not to worry them.

Xi Le didn't expect Li Dong to come over, and he didn't show any intention of this when talking to him on the phone before.

But Li Dong was sitting in the car at this time and kept urging: "I said, Xiao Liu, are you going to come up? If you don't come up, I will go with Brother Nian! You just stay at home!"

"... Are you so anti-client?" Xi Le looked at Du Nian, and motioned for him to help persuade this brother to leave.

However, Du Nian had a thoughtful expression on his face, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's not impossible for Li Dong to walk with us."

"What's your name?!" Xi Le almost exploded, what was this man thinking? !

Li Dong was even more confident this time, the car door slammed loudly: "Did you hear, Brother Nian has already spoken, what are you talking about!"

"No." Xi Le's face darkened. "It's useless for him to talk, and I can't do it if I say no."

"Lele," Du Nian approached and pressed his shoulder, "An extra person means an extra helper. There may be some emergencies on this journey. Three people are more powerful than two."

"You also know that there will be danger on the road?" Xi Le stared at him closely, "If there is danger, you still let him come!!"

Li Dong deliberately put on a serious face when he heard this: "Xiao Liu, you are not mean enough. What have you done in the past three years without me being with you, now that you have 'recognized' Brother Nian, you are starting to see each other, right?"

"It's not like this..." Xi Le looked quite helpless, "This time it's different."

"The hairy ones are different, don't be hypocritical, hurry up!" Li Dong stretched out his arms from the car window and pulled him.

Xi Le moved away, lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "Dongzi, I've already killed my fourth brother...I can't drag you into danger anymore——what are you doing!"

Xi Le got hit on the head before he finished speaking, and Li Dong leaned out with almost half of his body, easily hooked his shoulders and took two steps in front of the car, then suddenly raised his hand to pinch his waist His face shook, it seemed that he was exerting force, but it didn't hurt at all.

"What happened to Li Xia is not your fault." Li Dong's eyes were slightly darker than before, and his tone was extremely serious.

Xi Le: "Who said—"

Li Dong: "I said it. I saw everything that happened that year with my own eyes. It was his ignorance that caused the accident. It has nothing to do with you. Don't keep thinking about it."

"Li Dong is right." Du Nian glanced at the watch on his wrist, "Okay, there's no time to delay, let's go first."

What he said sounded like a police chief, Xi Le forgot to refute for a moment, and in the end, he lost his mind for such a moment and was pushed and pulled into the car by Du Nian and Li Dong. .

They do need to hurry up.

Xi Yin had brought Ji Shi to the police station with great fanfare early this morning. Under the banner of "researching the case", he asked Ji Shi's younger brothers to drive a train to follow behind, for fear that others would not know about the young master of the Xi family. go out.

According to the plan, Xi Le and Du Nian wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak away so that no one would notice his existence.

If the plan goes well, Xi Yin will be able to attract everyone's attention "in front of the stage", so that those with ulterior motives will only focus on his movements, while Xi Le will take the opportunity to "behind the scenes" to cover up the hidden password. The fake manuscript was retrieved.

However, no matter how deceptive they are, as long as they reach the area where the target is located, it is impossible to be completely undetected.

The other party is not a fool, so they don't even have a little arrangement. Once they accidentally leak their whereabouts, the situation will become very dangerous.

Especially after getting the manuscript - on the way back, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

It was because of this that Xi Le was unwilling to let Li Dong follow him no matter what.

Although Li Dong and Du Nian both persuaded him so much, and it is true that he cannot be blamed for what happened back then, but in the final analysis, if it was not because of him...

"Hey Brother Nian, why are we going in this direction? Aren't we going to the airport?" Li Dong's sudden question pulled Xi Le back from his memories.

He looked out through the car window, and found that it was not the way to the airport, but it was the same direction as going back to Iloka.

Du Nian explained while driving: "The target at the airport is too obvious, let's go to another place first and then change the route."

"Oh." After hearing this, Li Dong didn't ask any more questions.

Xi Le's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he always felt that something was not quite right, and the familiar feeling of uneasiness was ready to move again.

Did he miss something and didn't consider...

The plan has been fully confirmed with Xi Yin and Du Nian several times, and all the details have been considered, so there should be no major problems, so why do you feel flustered now?Things that make him feel unprepared, things that are uncertain... Unless, there is a problem with taking the manuscript itself?

When Xi Le thought of this, his whole body suddenly seemed to be shocked by electricity.

A thought that frightened him flashed through his mind—is Du Nian really going to take him to pick up the manuscript? ?

Even he had thought of the dangers that might be encountered on the way back, let alone Du Nian and Xi Yin.

The last time he was in Iloca, the reason why Xi Yin gave him the key to let him pick up things was simply because at that time everyone's attention was focused on the new head of the Xi family, who had just completed his work. Bian's attention will definitely relax, but now that several days have passed, the situation has already changed.

And these two people have always been used to protecting him. The reason why there were such big conflicts between them before was because they overprotected him. Could it be that this willingness to protect him is weak now?

If it were really that easy, they wouldn't have yet to come to a conclusion on who is right and who is wrong...

The more Xi Le thought about it, the more flustered he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. He grabbed the back of Du Nian's seat and asked in a tight voice, "Du Nian, tell me the truth, are we going to Get the manuscript?"

Du Nian glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and replied without hesitation: "Yes."

His tone didn't sound like a lie, but based on past experience, Xi Le really didn't have much confidence in him.

So he asked again: "Don't lie to me, do we really have to go to the bank to get back the fake manuscript that my dad hid the password in?"

But this time, Du Nian was silent.

Xi Le felt his heart go cold for a moment, and after a few seconds of silence, he said in a cold voice: "I want to listen to the truth."

Du Nian seemed to sigh lightly, and after about half a minute he said, "Lele, we are indeed going to pick up the manuscript, but it's not a fake one, but a real one."

"Really?!" Xi Le was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't the real manuscript kept by Uncle Zhong? How do you know where it is?"

"Uncle Zhong told me the place he used to store the manuscripts before we went to Iloka last time, in case something happened to him." Du Nian sighed again, "I didn't expect it to be a prophecy."

Xi Le: "...Uncle Zhong..."

"Lele, I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid you would object. I discussed it with Xi Yin, and it would be safer for him to get the fake one. After all, he is the real heir of the Xi family." Du Nian observed Xi Le's Said while looking.

At this moment, Li Dong coughed twice, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Nian, do you dare to cheat Xiao Liu again?"

"How can you say it's a lie? We only said to pick up the manuscript at the beginning, but didn't say which one it was." Although Du Nian argued like this, he still knew in his heart that he was in the wrong, so he was not very confident.

And Xi Le's expression has changed from shock to numbness.

He turned his head and looked out the window silently, and said after a while, "Xi Yin didn't actually go to the police station this morning, did she?"

Du Nian knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the whole story: "Well, they went directly to the airport. Now everyone should know that he set off to get the code book. There must be a lot of people watching secretly, but don't worry too much. Ji Shi followed him."

"I'm not worried." Xi Le said lightly, and there was an inexplicable elegance in his slow and cold voice, as if a master was sharpening his knife in a leisurely manner, every time he uttered a word, there was a back and forth.

There was still an indifferent smile on his face, and he said quietly: "Fate is his own, and I have no right to say whether he lives or dies, as long as he is happy. You, just be happy."

"Lele..." Du Nian's heart trembled from his sudden cold tone, and he had a vague premonition that something was going to happen, so he couldn't help asking tentatively, "Are you angry?"

Xi Le sneered and shook his head in denial: "No, I'm not angry."

He just had enough.
