Su Ye, who was "frightened", carried the big book he brought back. When he just walked into the manor, he saw Mr. Hicks, who had been mocked by him just now, standing on the top of the stairs, condescending. looking at him.

Langston Hicks.

Not the middle-aged and elderly people as others imagined, the current head of the Hicks family was very young when he inherited the family company, which makes him no more than 30 years old at most.His face is deep, with a pair of extremely light-colored eyes. He is wearing a very elegant dark-colored striped suit, and a lighter-colored blue tie is tightly fastened. The chest is also decorated with folded With a white scarf, his expression was too condensed, which made him look at him with an extremely indifferent majesty in his solemn eyebrows. He slowly said, "Lu En has already told me everything."

Lu En was the bodyguard wearing sunglasses who was following Su Ye.

"You'll stay at home these few days," he said with a metal cane in his hand, frowning on his face, "you can go to school after the matter has subsided completely. I will send someone to deal with the procedures during this period." Go talk to the school."

Straightforward arrangements, uncompromising notifications.

Compared with the old Hicks who had been drinking and drinking, his successor has almost gone to another extreme.

There was no reaction to these words. In other words, the relationship between the two of them was in an extremely rigid situation from the beginning to the end. Su Ye ignored the pressure he brought, When he walked past Langston with a big book, he said lightly: "If I remember correctly, that old guy was once instigated to take advantage of the fire and rob him when Wayne's house was killed more than 20 years ago. Fan?"

Langston Hicks lowered his eyebrows: "The last child of the Wayne family also disappeared more than ten years ago. Mr. Earle, who is now in charge of the company, has not taken back those properties."

"Really?" Su Ye didn't intend to continue to explain, as if he really just mentioned it casually, he walked away from Langston, leaving only a light tone of words: "Since you have arranged everything, then You will also help me deal with the next policeman who comes to inquire!"

Langston stayed where he was.

Su Ye walked into this modern and elegantly decorated manor, nodded to the butler who came forward, and went upstairs to her own room.Although he is quite interested in this book that reveals mystery everywhere, Su Ye still has never opened it once on the way - its extremely fantastic way of appearance makes Su Ye more willing to read this book. The surprise is suppressed to a safer time, and then I will read it carefully.

"Master," the aged butler greeted the other owner of the manor back in surprise, "Aren't you going to the banquet held by the Copperpot family..."

Langston reached out to stop the butler's words. He was leaning on a cane. Although he tried his best to conceal it, it could still be seen that his right leg was a little weak. When he moved forward, it was more like dragging on the ground.The young head of the Hicks family is actually a lame man with inflexible legs and feet.

"Something happened." Langston Hicks briefly explained the situation without concealing the meaning of the old housekeeper who took care of him. The old man gained some more trust.

"Although it is dealt with as death, it is only a routine treatment after a long period of disappearance," the butler said thoughtfully, "Master Ryan doesn't seem to mention it casually, after all..."

After all, the relationship between him and Master Langston has been cold for ten years. Although they are brothers, they have never had any exchanges such as small talk.

This is also the problem left by the previous generation of Patriarch, or in other words, there are too many problems left by him. Even this manor was re-planned and built on the site that was burned after his accidental death... Maybe he The only thing that can be commended is that it has left two excellent heirs for the Hicks family.

One propped up the dying Hicks family, and one... well, he couldn't read his mind either.

"If that Bruce Wayne really comes back again," Langston said with a deep expression as he turned the ring on his finger, "Maybe there will be some changes in Wayne's next listing plan. It may take longer to evaluate..."

Compared with the behemoth Wayne Group, Hicks, who is now the most lonely member of the Gotham family, needs more and more careful thinking every step of his development, and as it Langston, who is in charge, dared not make a single mistake.

Upstairs in the manor.

A large book that was three to four times wider than ordinary books was placed on Su Ye's desk. It had a dark and hard cover, with blood-colored thorny lines. When touched, the uneven texture was like the pattern of patterns. The spikes in it seem to be able to be revealed from the cover.

Su Ye slightly raised his eyebrows, his palm rested on the cover of the front page, and then he opened it.

A strong wind suddenly rose in the closed room, and the swirling wind disrupted all the arrangements. In the strong wind, the mysterious big book that had been quiet before also floated up, and the blood was so thick that it seemed to be dripping. The pattern turned into substance in the air, and it moved around the pitch-black book... Su Ye squinted his eyes in the wind, and he could see that the pages of the big book that were turning pages at a high speed suddenly emitted a flash of light. strong light.

With a "bang", it closed the cover, and landed on the table like the most ordinary book.In addition, all the strange things stopped together, as if the previous strong wind was like an illusion, and even a working servant of the manor who just passed by the door did not hear any sound.

But Su Ye had disappeared.

The whole room was empty.

……

Someone is calling for him.

He called him by name, "Master, Mr Lane..."

As if waking up from a long lethargy, or just recovering from a momentary trance, he suddenly opened his eyes and heard more words from the person beside him: "Madame Elena and The last news about the fiddler was that he appeared in Kajin Country, which already belongs to the area beyond our reach, I am very sorry, lost their traces, this is the dereliction of duty of the subordinates..."

"In addition, the blood test of the young master you ordered has already had the results... This is the report sent to you by Youkexin Hospital..."

Su Ye stretched out his hand subconsciously, he touched his chin, and then went up...huh?With some hesitation, he found that he seemed to have grown two beards? ! !

The author has something to say: In the last chapter, "spreading face" was changed to "slumped face", thanks to the little angel who caught bugs.
