full-time abuse

The small piece of sky outside the window had just turned lighter when Zhong Wan heard a faint knock on the door.

The bedroom door was not closed, but the voice seemed to appear in a dream. He held his breath to confirm for a while, pulled Song Chen out of his arms, put him on the pillow beside him, and opened the door in his nightgown.

When leaving, he closed the bedroom door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

The knocking continues, and tends to get harder and harder.

From the distance from the bedroom to the bar, Zhong Wan picked up the clothes scattered all the way as he walked, silently tidying up the scene, "Yuchi?"

When opening the door, Yuchi Foyin's eyes fell on the stack of clothes hanging on his arm, "You..."

"Ah, what's the matter?" Song Chen didn't sleep well outside, he woke up just as Zhong Wan got out of bed, and moved out step by step while propping up against the wall. His expression was normal at first, but when he saw the clothes in Zhong Wan's hand, he just woke up. Embarrassed.

After thinking about it, he looked at Yuchi Foyin confidently, "Yes, we're getting along, what's the matter?"

Zhong Wan couldn't help laughing, let Yuchi in, looked around the corridor, and closed it when he found no one there.After all, it's still early.

"That's right, I thought you'd already been dragging your feet." Yuchi Foyin was cold and indifferent, with long hair combed into a ponytail, wearing a very neat thin jacket and short boots, an outfit that could climb up and down at any time.

Song Chen coughed a few times, "What do children analyze randomly? Be pure. See how I usually pay more attention in front of you and You Ning, just to leave an image of integrity."

"Boss, that's not what you said yesterday." Zhong Wan stood aside and slightly licked the corners of his slightly swollen mouth.

Song Chen quickly recalled what he said when he was confused yesterday, gave him a vicious look, and went to wash with his back, "I'll settle the score with you later."

Zhong Wan's temper is very good today, with peach blossoms in his eyes, everyone is smiling, and his voice is also very gentle, "You came too early, we just woke up. Five minutes, let's talk after washing up. By the way, the boss beat you before The phone, why is it turned off?"

"... Well, you guys clean up first, things are a bit complicated, I'll talk about them later." Yuchi Foyin sat down on the sofa, stood up after thinking about it, went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of cold mineral water, and drank it in one go For the most part, it seems that he is using this to extinguish the fire in his heart.

She was in a hurry, but the boss was so dazed that it was difficult to communicate, so it was better to sacrifice 5 minutes to wake him up.

Song Chen maximized his efficiency. After 3 minutes, he washed his face and brushed his teeth, and walked out with a renewed look and sore waist. Zhong Wan also changed out of his nightgown, exchanged glances with him, and got into work.

"Someone is watching..." Song Chen found a bottle of mint soda to refresh himself. It was too early for breakfast at this time, and the people in the kitchen hadn't woken up yet. If he wanted to recover immediately, he had to eat something.

...As expected of someone who goes out to exercise at six o'clock every morning, Zhong Wan's physical strength seems to be pretty good...

As soon as the messy thoughts popped up, Song Chen quickly shook his head to get rid of the dizzy feeling, and added: "Is there more than one person to find the target again? Did you change your schedule halfway to solve them? Since It takes four hours at most to get here by train from my hometown, and it takes less than an hour to take the high-speed rail. I checked the train timetable, and there happened to be a high-speed train half an hour after the end of the call yesterday. I thought you would be there after we finished dinner, but it turned out It took one night to get off the train..."

"Enough, no need to analyze." Yuchi Foyin raised his hand to interrupt, and confessed everything, "I thought I would be fine at my own home, but I didn't expect my phone to be monitored by other people at home. They should have arrived here earlier than me."

This way of expressing it is a bit strange. Song Chen rarely hears her mentioning family affairs, but every time she mentions it, it makes people feel that it is a den of tigers and wolves... "My own home? The rest of the family? Tell us what you can tell us in detail Dot, maybe which part will be used.”

"That's it..." Yuchi Foyin tugged at the collar irritably, and unzipped the jacket a little, as if thinking about which part to talk about.

Zhong Wan would not let go of the opportunity to listen to the story, but he sat farther away, fiddling with the computer by the bar.

"Speaking of our family, many families with different surnames live together, which can be regarded as a large collective family." Yuchi Foyin stared at the carpet, probably thinking of something bad. Very good, but since a long time ago... Anyway, when I was born, the family was unstable. When I was very young, the atmosphere was a little tense, especially during the Chinese New Year, when the parents of each surname gathered in the ancestral hall. Everyone is always silent for days."

Song Chen listened quietly without interrupting or asking anything.

"Until the last few years, the conflicts between the various surnames have become more and more serious. Not only can they fail to agree, but sometimes they even fight."

As soon as this sentence was finished, Song Chen couldn't help asking: "I've heard about some big families like this. Is your family fighting for the position of patriarch? The benefits of demolition and land division are still considerable. You The person you were looking for ran away with the deed?"

Up to now, Yuchi Foyin's request has always been "find that person". This kind of work is simple, but it is not simple.At least in Song Chen's mind, he only knew the purpose of her actions, without a reason.

What drives her to do this?Find someone and why?

There is also Yuchi Foyin's expression, "many surnames", does this have any special meaning?

"Although there are many surnames living together, there is only one fixed family in charge. Others, including my family, are only in charge of the affairs. Maybe the last client... Well, Huayou is also. I heard that the Hua family's The branch is responsible for doing business abroad and making money to support the family, but we live together, so only the parents of each surname are more familiar with other families." Yuchi Foyin did not quarrel with him for the first time, "Yuchi's parents are my father .”

"Then... what happened?" Song Chen noticed that her face was getting uglier, so he took a bottle of drink with high sugar content, "Drink something sweet, you will feel better."

"...Thank you." After a short hesitation, Yuchi Foyin unscrewed the bottle cap.

If she hadn't been sullen and sullen all the time, she would actually be pretty.

Still a child.

Song Chen smiled gently, seeing the worry and tension in her eyes.

We've lived together for so long, and we're still our own employees, so it's okay to take more care of them.In my memory, Yuchi has never been very happy since the first day we met.

"By the way!" Song Chen thought of something again, "You said the target is the elders, is she the parent of a certain surname?"

Yuchi Foyin was thinking at first, but when he heard this, he looked in his direction, "No, she is the patriarch's... guardian. Don't use 'target' to call her, her name is inconvenient to disclose, um, she has a nickname , called the small railing."

When she said these three words, she trembled.

Song Chenxin said: This nickname is really appropriate, and the other party is only as tall as a railing.

"More than a year ago, Xiaolanlan and the patriarch went abroad, it seems to be Los Angeles, looking for something. My surname is different from hers, so I don't know it very well, but my father must know..." Yu Chifo As Yin said, he suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly! "They haven't come back after a few months, but it's almost New Year's Eve... There should be no assembly before that without the patriarch. My father entered the ancestral hall together with the heads of several other families on the [-]th day of the New Year's Eve ……Then……"

She paused, and said word by word: "Then, I never came out again."

"What?" Song Chen was taken aback.

Zhong Wan couldn't help approaching, wanting to know more carefully, "Is it missing? Or..."

"It's missing, and it's on its own." Yuchi Foyin replied very firmly, sitting on the sofa and curled up uncomfortably, "All the parents are there, and no one can take them away by force. There is no one at the scene." Blood stains, everything was in order, so they must have left by themselves."

"Are you looking for some kind of patriarch of yours?" The ancient families all pay attention to inheritance. Song Chen has been out for so long, so of course it is not uncommon for him.

Zhong Wan also nodded.He knew quite a few families whose ancestors were rich, respectable and scholarly families, with countless rules and secrets.

"I don't know." Yuchi Foyin took a deep breath, "The parents of all surnames left at the same time, but each family will train an assistant, presumably to deal with such emergencies. The assistant will know some things that only the parents know. But not all."

The sky was getting brighter, and there was a slight sound in the corridor, probably the cleaning staff were cleaning, and the sound of the dining car, which set off the silence in the house.

Seeing that she was not in good condition, Song Chen, who was always careful, suggested: "Now the hotel provides breakfast, do you want to eat something to relax?"

"Okay." Yuchi Foyin nodded dully.

Zhong Wan took the initiative to walk to the internal phone and seriously thought about what to order.He is not the kind of person who pays attention to all situations. He has spent a lot of energy just paying attention to what he cares about. It is better to leave the communication to the boss. Instead, he is the listener himself, and he only listens to what others say. Will ask any crucial questions too.

Such a combination of two people is very suitable.

"Someone will deliver food in a while, by the way, Yuchi, how did you come in?" Zhong Wan noticed that her expression was not good, and she couldn't say anything, trying to distract the other party with small talk.

Yuchi Foyin said dully: "I went to find Youning, he said you were here, and then crawled in from the outside."

If you want to come in, but you are not a guest, you can only use this method.

Only then did Zhong Wan realize that her coat was a little dusty.

After thinking about it quietly, Yuchi Foyin realized that having something to eat later would be the best thing to do today, and he opened his mind, "As for my family, as the next generation of parents, my second brother is raised, and his name is Chanyin. He took over from his father, discussed something with other assistants, and then groups of people left the house for unknown reasons. I eavesdropped on the conversation of the assistants. They said...to find the guardian, and then...to kill her."

"Is it the little railing you mentioned? Do you know what she did? Or did you hear about it?" Song Chen asked.

Yuchi Foyin patiently explained: "For us, the guardian is the existence second only to the patriarch. Although each surname is for supporting the family, but speaking of it, they are taken care of by the guardian more. Something must have happened, This kind of unreasonable change will happen!"

"Well... let's sort out the order." The clues are fragmented, and it's hard for Song Chen to separate one, two, and three, "First of all, you have rules. No matter where you are, everyone must Go back to the ancestral hall for a meeting. But the patriarch didn't come back last year, right?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to nod, he continued: "Then, all the parents, including your father, held a meeting on their own, and all of them disappeared. Finally, the third wave of forces, the assistants, held a meeting and decided to hunt down the patriarch spokesperson."

"So analyzing in order...should be..."

He paused for a moment: "What did the parents know after the meeting that led to the late return of the patriarch? They may have gone to help or deal with the aftermath. And the assistants also knew part of the truth, because they did not hide it well enough, so let You know that they are going to attack the guardians who were very close... This indirectly proves that the previous parents, I am afraid, also went to hunt down the guardians, and...the whole army was wiped out. Didn't you repeat when you called Warn us, the small railing is dangerous, never touch it head-on...?"

Yuchi Foyin didn't say a word, just stretched out his hand and stroked the streaked silver hair on his head.
