[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

This tea shop used to be the best performer in the Chengjia tea industry, but now it is empty.

The opposite door is the colleagues of the Yin family, and the situation is much better than theirs.

The car stopped on the side of the road, Qianqiu got out of the car according to Yinque's instructions, and went to the tea shop to buy a box of barley tea.Yinque leaned on the seat and followed the figure of the man with her eyes. She didn't say softly until she saw him enter the store, "Do you have a car?"

"Master, yes, there is a bicycle..."

"Carlo's place, do you know how to get there?" Yinque then asked.

When he said this, he was not emotional, and kept looking out of the car window with his head tilted - Qianqiu was standing in front of the counter, waiting for the steward to pack the barley tea he wanted, with his back straight, making him look even taller against the background of passers-by.

"knew……"

"Very well, when you go back," Yinque said, "you can ride your bicycle and deliver the barley tea to Carlo... Be sure to deliver it to him and tell him that I gave it to him for his birthday Gift."

"Good sir!"

The day passed as usual, Qianqiu put the tea box in the trunk, and the car drove through the streets of the capital towards the mansion where he lived alone.

On the way, Yinque didn't speak any more, just leaned against the car window to watch the bustling outside, completely immersed in her own thoughts.Until they passed by a well-known iced tea shop in Wangdu.Yinque likes the iced tea here very much, and usually asks his servants to buy it for him.

Seeing that the car was about to drive past, Yinque suddenly said: "Stop."

The little driver did what he said and stopped very safely.

"Go up and buy me a cup of iced tea, Qianqiu." Yinque said, "Suddenly I want to drink it."

This is normal, as Yinque's follower, he usually does this kind of thing; but for some reason, the man vaguely feels that he has other intentions.It's just that he quietly looked at Yinque's expression, but couldn't find any clues: "Then wait a moment, young master."

"Ah."

The shop was on the second floor, and the tea seats in the shop were filled with a whole piece of glass, and the bustling business in the shop could be seen downstairs.

The man entered the corridor with steady steps, and soon disappeared from Yinque's sight.

As usual, the little driver put his hands on the steering wheel and waited for the young master's entourage to return, but he didn't expect the back seat to open suddenly: "Open the trunk."

"Young Master, what do you want me to tell you..."

His courtship was not at the right time, Yinque had already stepped out of the car door with one leg, and there was only a cold gaze in response to him.The little driver stopped in a hurry, pulled off the car key and got out of the car, trotting to the trunk to open it for the owner.

Yinque's face was very gloomy—since the family started to decline, and after more and more affairs required him to run around, he often had a gloomy face—he opened the box of barley tea, and quickly took out a can from it.The little driver didn't know why, so he stood cautiously by the side, Yinque paused, suppressed his displeasure, and said, "Did I ask you to stand here and watch?"

"Then, I'll go back to the car first..."

"roll."

He opened the can of barley tea, grabbed a lot and threw it into the alley, mixed with the stuffing; the palm-sized ledger was rolled into a tube and stuffed into the can of barley tea.

Yinque moved very quickly, and after finishing it in twos and threes, he repacked the box as if nothing had happened, and even the ribbon of the bow was perfectly restored.

The man stood in front of the huge glass of the ice tea shop, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, he couldn't tell if he was smiling or looking down expressionlessly; it wasn't until the trunk was closed and Yinque sat back in the car that he returned to the counter to buy ice for his young master Tea.

When I got back to the house, it suddenly started to rain lightly.

Silver Sparrow took off his jacket, took off his bow tie and undid the two buttons on his shirt.He stood by the window of the study, with one hand casually in his pocket, and the other holding a cigarette to watch the rain. The dim light of the sky blurred his outline.

Occasionally he will display some qualities other than "beautiful", such as now.

He just stood there, but it seemed that he was struggling to fly far away.But silver sparrows don't have wings, let alone fly.

Qian Qiu stood with him for a while, then suddenly said: "Master, if I have nothing else to do, I want to go out for a while."

"Ok?"

"There is only one pack of cigarettes left, and there are inhibitors, it's time to get them."

Yinque was immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't listen to his words carefully, but waved his hand: "Go."

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

The man exited the study unhurriedly, turned around the moment he couldn't see Yinque completely, and went downstairs quickly and went straight outside.

He didn't mind getting wet in the rain, and hurried into the courtyard as if there was something urgent - Yinque's usual car was still parked at a fixed location, but he didn't see the little driver.The gardener was trimming the flowers and trees in the garden under the drizzle, Qian Qiu stepped forward and asked, "Where is Xiao Chi?"

The gardener quickly nodded to him and saluted: "Go out, it seems that the young master arranged for him to give gifts..."

"But he wasn't driving."

"He went there by bicycle."

Qian Qiu nodded and didn't say anything more to him.

-

Too bad luck.But he was sent by the young master to deliver things in the outskirts of the city, and when it rained, he still rode a bicycle.

The little driver was thinking sadly, when suddenly a car behind him honked at him, scaring him to the side to avoid the road.A strange car passed by him, but stopped not far away.He stared at the car without knowing what the other party's intention was, the door opened in the next second, and Qian Qiu got out from inside.

"It's Brother Qianqiu..." The little driver stopped the car subconsciously, "Why are you here? Do you have something to explain, Master....Who does this car belong to?"

"It's rented; didn't the young master ask you to deliver the barley tea," the man said lightly, "You just put it in the car, what if it gets damaged by the rain?"

"Ah this..."

"I went out to buy something for the young master, and I just saw you...why didn't you drive out?"

"The young master told me to ride my own car. I thought the young master would use the car in the afternoon." The little driver said, looking at the tea box in the front basket.As Qianqiu said, the ribbon has been soaked by the rain, even if there is no problem with the tea inside, it is not good to send it out like this, "What should I do, I didn't bring an umbrella out, I didn't expect it to rain as soon as I went out .”

"Give me the things, and I'll deliver them for you." Qian Qiu said.

"This..." The little driver showed embarrassment - of course he wanted to be lazy, but if the young master knew about it, it would be a serious matter.

"I won't tell the young master, you can go back to the house later." The man's words were very considerate, "Who is it for?"

"Doctor Carlo..."

Seeing that the rain would not stop for a while, and maybe it would last a whole day, the little driver hesitated to pick up the tea box, and finally gave it to Qian Qiu.

He clasped his hands together and raised his head above his head, making an exaggerated bow to Qianqiu: "Thank you so much bro, I'll trouble you then."

"It's okay." The corner of the man's mouth was raised, showing a very standard smile, he turned back into the car and said to the taxi driver, "Go to the eastern suburbs."

Yinque will leave this matter to the little driver instead of him, and specifically ask the other party to use his own bicycle... Qianqiu knows Yinque too well, he is good at concealing people's eyes and ears, whether it is his whereabouts or his own intentions.

For the past six months, the man has been by his side every step of the way, and Qian Qiu has already represented him in many cases; and the little driver is different, he will not be so easily noticed by other guys who are staring at him.

The man's hand landed on the ribbon, and he hesitated for a long time before tearing it away.

The four cans of barley tea inside lie quietly on the soft filling.Qianqiu carefully inspected each of them, and there was nothing to be seen from the outside, but some barley tea grains mixed in the filling fully showed that Yinque had opened a certain can.

When he was upstairs, the rear hood of the car blocked most of his view, and he could only see that Yinque had indeed checked the checks, but not what was done.

Qianqiu didn't think for too long, he simply opened the cans one by one, and inserted his fingers into the barley tea to check everything...until he came across the solid object hidden inside.

Have it.

The small black ledger was taken out, and the man opened it to read it carefully, his eyes were dignified at first, and then gradually turned into pleasure.

—The birds can no longer fly out of the prison.

…………

Yinque was trying his best to maintain the situation, and Master Cheng also used the interpersonal relationships he had accumulated over the years.

But the search Master Cheng expected did not come. Half a month later, when they thought that things might have changed again, the mansion in the suburbs and dozens of shops owned by the Cheng family in the capital were all seized.It happened so suddenly that when Yinque got the news, he was still at Stein's house.

When he rushed to the old house with Qianqiu in a hurry, he happened to see his father being detained by the guards and walking out of the gate.

Even though the situation was so dire, the head of the married family remained imposing, as if he was unaware of his situation.

"Father..." Yinque walked towards him in a hurry, "Why did you arrest my father? It's just a search, and you still want to arrest someone?"

The leader of the guards sneered: "Master Cheng, where did you hear that we are going to search Cheng's family? Does this count as self-inflicted?"

He pretended to cough twice, and put on airs and said: "The Cheng family has improper transactions with many officials such as senators, magistrates, and administrative envoys. Someone reported it with his real name and provided evidence. His Majesty ordered the arrest and interrogation. Once it is verified , will be punished according to the imperial law; during this period, all business activities of the family are prohibited....Master Cheng, you should pray that you will not be implicated in this matter."

"you……!"

"Yinque." His father suddenly said in a low voice, "Go back to your own residence, don't worry about anything, don't think about anything."

"I'll find a way..."

"Don't think about it." Cheng Buwei said, "We lost."

"You have been married for decades, and it's time to go to someone else's house." The team leader mocked, "Take it away!"

In fact, Yinque also knew that the Cheng family had lost - when he learned that Guangang was taken by the Yin family, he had already faintly felt the coming of destruction - but when he saw his father being sent to the escort car to leave, he still couldn't bear it. Gritting his teeth in anger.

Cheng Yinque didn't love his father, but he hated losing so much.

Losing means becoming a weaker party, and the fate of the weaker party can be easily imagined.

He stood there without moving for a long time, and only when Qian Qiu approached him did he react.

He raised his head to look at Qian Qiu's face, the man remained indifferent as always: "Have you figured out where you are going?"

"...I don't understand what the young master means."

"I mean, the family is coming to an end, have you figured out where to go?"

The man also looked at him, with an inexplicable light in his eyes: "...No."

"No" means - he will indeed leave, after the family is completely over.

The heartbeat that Yinque had been suppressing all along and the anger and powerlessness at this moment twisted into a hemp rope that strangled his neck. His chest heaved violently, and he was trying to calm himself down.

Qian Qiu said in a deep voice: "If things don't turn around, what will the young master plan to do?"

"...I haven't thought about it."

"Young Master may be involved in this matter." The man said, "Or if Young Master agrees to marry into the Yin family, maybe..."

"Snapped."

Before Qian Qiu finished speaking, Yinque raised his hand unceremoniously and slapped him across the face.

"Is this what you should say?" Yinque said, "You keep making progress because of my pampering, Qianqiu, do you really think that I will have feelings for a servant?"

The man's face was slightly red and swollen, but he didn't care, he just smiled and apologized to Yinque: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong... But young master, there will be no worries about the future if you get rid of the master and you , you will be in danger."
