Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

In the attic, there was an oppressive atmosphere at the moment.

"Is the news reliable?" A figure walked out in the dim light.

The standing guy nodded: "The news is confirmed. It is confirmed that Hong Kong sent internal personnel here to investigate. The other party should have been here for a while."

Frowning, Zhang Haike waved his hand and said, "Understood, keep paying attention."

"Yes." The man nodded and walked out.

The attic was quiet again.

"Brother," Zhang Haixing withdrew her gaze from the outside, and turned to look at the person opposite, "If it is really that person who came, what should I do? Do you want to tell the patriarch?"

"Not for now," Zhang Haike shook his head, "Let's take a look first, maybe they already know."

"Then when will you meet the patriarch?"

"Wait until the action news over there is confirmed."

"Oh." Nodding, thinking of something, Zhang Haixing lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "Brother, that person is that Qi Yu, does he have a... festival with the patriarch?"

"Huh?" Zhang Haike raised his eyebrows, as if a little funny, "Why do you say that?"

"Because, it seems..." Zhang Haixing curled her lips, trying to remember something, "Every time he acts, he has a lot to do with the patriarch. Do you remember the news that came when we went to Tibet last time? If we If he didn’t go, then he was the one who went. Besides, he also came to Beijing this time, tell me, did he have a feud with the patriarch?”

"Well," Zhang Haike smiled, "do you think he has a grudge against the patriarch?"

"Huh?" Zhang Haixing was stunned for a moment, "It doesn't seem like he is, he just acts secretly every time. It seems to help us too?"

"Well, it can't be said to help us, maybe he has a problem with that organization." Zhang Haike laughed, "He and the patriarch knew each other a long time ago."

"We knew each other before? Brother, how do you know?" Zhang Haixing asked doubtfully.

Zhang Haike turned his head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "I'm not very clear. The Zhang family's foreign clan has always been distributed outside the mainland, and I rarely come back. I just learned about the situation of some patriarchs during one or two missions."

"Is it related to Qi Yu?"

"Well. It was about 20 years ago. When I came to the inland, the patriarch lost his memory again. When I went there, the news I got was that he and a team were exploring the tomb under the sea, and there were old people among them. The identities of the members of the Nine Gates have always been mysterious, and among them is Qi Yu."

"They knew each other 20 years ago?!" Zhang Haixing's eyes widened.

"That's what I'm going to say too," Zhang Haike frowned, "Qi Yu's identity is one of the things I don't know. He disappeared inexplicably after exploring the tomb under the sea 20 years ago. At that time, I only paid attention to The patriarch, the others didn't investigate deeply, and the result was that the subsequent things became more and more confusing, and it was impossible to find out. Qi Yu is probably only the patriarch who knows best."

"I have been secretly investigating the patriarch. What is his purpose?"

Zhang Haike shook his head, "The patriarch's whereabouts are difficult to control. I didn't take the time to investigate the matter between him and Qi Yu. I just occasionally learned about it through the news. In short, what I found is that there is no relationship between Qi Yu and the patriarch. Important, the important point is that the patriarch disappeared after the seabed tomb 20 years ago, Qi Yu secretly investigated, and the people involved in this are too complicated, and the old nine gates began to have abnormalities since then, Qi Yu and the old nine gates Maybe there was a relationship. Later, the patriarch reappeared, and Qi Yu didn't do anything special. He and the patriarch seemed like friends but they didn't look like each other. That's what I doubted."

"He investigated the patriarch but did nothing... I really don't understand." Zhang Haixing pouted.

"Maybe only the patriarch knows about this." Zhang Haike said with a smile.

……

In the silent alleyway, two figures passed by silently.

Looking at the alley in front of him that seemed like no one had been there before, Zhang Qiling stopped in his tracks.

"Eh? Looks like he ran away." The black glasses following behind raised his eyebrows and looked around, "Did you see who it was?"

"Not sure." Zhang Qiling stood for a while, then turned around, and was about to walk back.

"Brother!" A voice suddenly came from afar.

Zhang Qiling turned his head, a figure was running towards here.Looking at the approaching person, I felt inexplicably in a sudden trance, as if two figures overlapped.

"Brother," Wu Xie stopped, panting with his hands on his knees, "what happened."

"Let's go back and talk about it." The black glasses beside him said.

Seeing the black glasses behind Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie asked suspiciously, "When did you come?"

"After you, it's just that you move too slowly."

"Oh." Wu Xie scratched her hair, saw that Zhang Qiling was already walking back, and quickly followed.

No one spoke until it was time to reach the Crescent Hotel.

It's just that Wu Xie is not as quiet as he appears on the surface, looking at Zhang Qiling from time to time, but bowing his head hesitantly, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

In fact, he has been wanting to ask Zhang Qiling for the past two days, where he went after leaving Changbai Mountain, why there is no news at all, and why he didn't come to Hangzhou to find him...

But in the end, Wu Xie didn't ask anything.

……

Glancing at the clock quietly passing by again, Xie Yuchen got up a little disturbedly and walked to the window, looking outside, gradually lost his mind.

"Brother Xiaohua." There was a knock on the door, but no one answered, Huo Xiuxiu walked in, saw Xie Yuchen, sighed, and said, "Have they not come back yet?"

Xie Yuchen came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Not yet. Come and sit down."

Huo Xiuxiu sat across from Xie Yuchen, seeing him looking outside in silence again, she lowered her head and stopped talking, picked up the teacup in her hand but didn't drink it, but looked up at Xie Yuchen from time to time with complicated eyes.

"What's the matter?" Noticing Huo Xiuxiu's unusual silence, Xie Yuchen looked away and asked in confusion.

The hand holding the teacup paused, Huo Xiuxiu looked up, "What?"

"You don't look very good, what's wrong?"

"No, it's just..." Huo Xiuxiu looked away, as if she didn't dare to look at Xie Yuchen.

"What? Tell me." Xie Yuchen laughed.

"Well, I..." Huo Xiuxiu lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with one hand, with more force, her fingertips turned white.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he looked at Xie Yuchen and said, "Grandma mentioned to me before about the conflict between the Huo family and the Xie family. She used to be in the middle and told me to help Xiaohua." You, brother. She also told you, that is, if you want to resolve the dispute between the two families... Besides, I don't want the Huo family to make it difficult for you again, so, as I said before, if you want..." Said Afterwards, the voice became lower and lower, and the last sentence could hardly be heard.

Xie Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Huo Xiuxiu said not long ago.

Sighing helplessly, Xie Yuchen looked at Huo Xiuxiu and said slowly: "Xiuxiu, I know that you decided to do that for my consideration, but didn't I say that no matter what happens to the two families, you don't have to worry about it. I can handle things. I have been here for so many years. I still have the ability, and you don’t have to. Marriage is a matter of two people. There can’t be only benefits and the so-called good for whom. The power of your own life, don't you want to know everything centered on the family?"

"But..." Huo Xiuxiu bit her lip, "Your situation..."

"Okay, I have my own way to deal with these." Xie Yuchen looked out helplessly, was silent for a while, and finally said softly: "I don't want to do things against my will."

Huo Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, seemed to think of something, and asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Xiaohua, do you... have someone you like?"

Xie Yuchen was taken aback for a moment, then a bitter smile rose from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were a little out of focus, and he said in a low voice, "Yeah."

But he didn't have that chance, someone already accompanied him.

Hearing Xie Yuchen's disappointed tone, Huo Xiuxiu was worried but also curious.It's really hard to imagine that Xie Yuchen would have someone he likes.

It's not that I haven't seen the cruel Xie Yuchen, the decisive and ruthless Xie Dangjia.Perhaps Xie Yuchen seems to have such a gentle attitude towards everyone, as if everything is negotiable, but Huo Xiuxiu has understood since childhood that, except for relatives and friends, most of the time, it is just a manifestation of his alienation. In his heart, he has always been indifferent .

It's hard to fall in love with such a person.Huo Xiuxiu understood.

Looking at Xie Yuchen complicatedly, Huo Xiuxiu couldn't help asking, "But you don't seem very happy."

"Huh?" Xie Yuchen was startled, smiled, and said slowly as if talking to himself: "But as long as I can see him, I'm very satisfied..."
