Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 140 Three, Brick, Where's Your Common Sense?

"Brick, what was that just now?" Nangong Yu sat on the avenue outside the Xiuxin Pavilion, panting for a long time before recovering. Although his physique was different from ordinary people, he was killed by someone in just ten seconds. Dragging and rushing down from the third floor, it was still a bit overwhelming.

"Hoo hoo..." Yu Chigong lay on the ground with his feet up in the air, gasping for breath, and naturally he couldn't get better, he felt dizzy, his limbs were weak, he couldn't breathe, what was worse was that His heart was beating violently, as if he was about to explode. You must know that his physique has always been poor, and he has never done any strenuous exercise. At home, I was so excited and ran so fast just now, I was so tired that I almost died.

"Brick, are you okay?" Seeing Yu Chigong lying on the ground panting for breath, her face was flushed, the tip of her nose was sweating, and she closed her eyes and said nothing, Nangong Yu became a little anxious.

Yu Chigong opened his eyes to look at him, and waved his hands weakly: "No...it's okay...huh...let me...huh...first...take a breath...tired...I'm exhausted...I'm tired... "

Nangongyu quickly took off her gloves, loosened the napkin around his neck, unbuttoned his collar, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the dust and sweat off his face, and asked nervously, "Brick, do you really feel all right?" ?"

"Phew... it's okay... I ran too fast just now... Huha... just let me breathe for a while..."

Yu Chigong took another deep breath as he spoke, and after panting for a long time, he sat up with Nangongyu's support.

"Brick, are you alright?" Nangong Yu asked worriedly.

"Huh—it's okay, I ran too fast just now." Yuchi caressed his little heart that had finally calmed down, let out a long breath, and struggled to stand up.

"What happened just now? What did you see?" Nangong Yu asked while supporting his arm.

"Ah! That's right!" Yu Chigong hurriedly touched his pocket, found that the phone was not with him, and immediately touched Nangong, urging, "Nangongyu, hurry up, call 120."

"Call 120?" Nangong Yu's expression changed when she heard that, she quickly helped Yu Chigong to the ground and sat down, took out her phone from her pocket, "Okay, I'll call right away, Brick, why don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"Ah? I'm not sick," Yu Chigong looked up at Nangong Yu suspiciously, then hugged his shoulders and shivered, urging, "Hurry up, there is a corpse in that secret room."

After hearing his answer, Nangong Yu put down her phone, touched his forehead, and asked seriously, "Brick, are you sure you saw the corpse?"

"Yeah, I touched my head on that skull, and it still hurts." Yu Chigong replied with a sigh, pointing to the redness and swelling on his forehead.

"Then why call 120?" Nangong Yu asked.

"Call the police, shouldn't you evacuate immediately and call the police when there is a dead body in the house?" Yu Chigong was very surprised, even he knew this bit of common sense, so didn't Nangong Yu know?

"Brick, the alarm number is not 120." Nangong Yu looked serious.

"Ah? That's... 114?" Yu Chigong asked awkwardly.

"Not at all."

"That's... 119?... 911?" Yu Chigong scratched his hair embarrassingly, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Neither." Nangong Yu took back the phone, pulled Yu Chigong up from the ground, and said solemnly, "Brick, I don't think it's necessary to call the police on this matter, and I don't want to have anything to do with the police either. "

"Oh? Why? There is a dead person in that room, why didn't you call the police?" Yu Chigong was very surprised.

"Those people may have been dead for hundreds of years, and they are no longer under the jurisdiction of the police." Nangong Yu replied.

"Then at least let the police uncle come to help and see where it is buried. Besides, a dead person is not a dead dog, so you can't just throw it anywhere."

"I'll take care of this properly, there's no need to bother the police."

"Nangong Yu, why are you so stubborn..."

"Brick," Nangong Yu immediately interrupted Yu Chigong, holding his shoulders with both hands, staring into his eyes, and said decisively, "Listen to me, the police must not be involved in this matter."

"Why?"

"Xiu Xin Yuan has been full of shadows since ancient times, and it is the focus of people's awe and attention. Now a secret room and corpses are suddenly found on the third floor. Once the police intervene, it will definitely be played up by the media and the attention of the outside world will flock to it. The rumors about Xinguan will intensify and become people's talk before tea and after dinner.

Brick, you have to understand that people's mouths can make money, and people's gossip can be destroyed, especially people's gossip, which often unintentionally turns into a sharp weapon to hurt people. You are now living in Xiuxinyuan, and what happened in Xiuxinyuan If such a thing happens, you will inevitably be greatly implicated, and as the current owner of Xiuxinyuan, it is impossible for me not to be exposed to the eyes of the world. Once my existence is announced to the world, my The uncle and younger brother will be immediately involved in right and wrong, and it will be difficult for a hundred people to argue.

So Brick, listen to me, it is not a wise choice to let the police intervene, this is not a modern criminal case, this is an unsolved mystery of history.Instead of looking for the police, it would be wiser to ask someone from the Shenji family for help. "

"Your uncle and younger brother?" Yu Chigong was very puzzled when Nangong Yu mentioned his relatives, "Nangong Yu, do you still have family members? I always thought... um, no, don't get me wrong, I just vaguely remember you I said that you have no family, but why are they also involved in right and wrong?"

"I said that because I had cut all ties with them at the time. As for why they got involved, it was because there was an accident many years ago and for some reason my uncle was forced to announce If the news of my death is known to the outside world because of the matter of the Cultivation Hall, once the media exaggerates and people's curiosity-seeking psychology plays a role, no matter what the truth is, most people will think that the accident was caused by my uncle and my wife. If my brother deliberately caused it, my uncle and brother would be criticized and slandered by outsiders, and it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in this world.

Brick, my uncle has been kind to me in nurturing me. After my parents passed away, he has been secretly raising me under the pressure of the outside world until I reach adulthood. My younger brother is the flesh and blood of my mother. I don’t want my existence to cause any harm to them. Troubled, so please don't let the police get involved in this matter, okay? "

Yu Chigong seemed to understand Nangongyu's concerns, thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and said firmly to Nangongyu: "Nangongyu, don't worry, we just don't let the police intervene, and I swear that I will also deal with this matter." Keep it secret, but why can people from the Shenji family help?"

"The Xiuxinyuan was originally the property of the Shenji family. It is said that it was originally designed and built by the Xiao family, one of the Shenji families. Therefore, for the glory of the Shenji family, even if they know something, they will not just gossip around."

"Oh, that's great." Yu Chigong looked relieved, "Then what should we do now?"

"You wait here, I'll go up and check the situation first." Nangong Yu took out a napkin from his pocket, tied it back around Yu Chigong's neck, tied a bow, and fastened the button tightly.The smell of safflower oil is indeed not pleasant, but don't smoke the bricks.

"Let me go too." Yu Chigong touched the napkin around his neck, tugged at Nangong Yu's sleeves, looking expectant.

"It might be scary and scare you." Nangong Yu said while holding his little hand.

"Nangongyu, am I that timid? You are not afraid, why do I have to wait outside?" Yu Chigong was very unconvinced, rolled up his sleeves, and said proudly, "Don't look at me like this, maybe when the time comes The corpse suddenly turned into a zombie, and I can help you."

"Pfft——" Nangongyu couldn't help laughing. Brick has so much imagination. How could it be so easy to become a zombie? However, Brick ran really fast just now. If there are really zombies... hey, no, I think too far up.

"I did it to protect the scene of the incident, so that the police uncle could obtain evidence and investigate." Yu Chigong hurriedly defended after hearing what Nangongyu said.

"Haha, well I get it, you are here to protect the scene, but you did run a little too fast, you don't need to run so fast to protect the scene, just walk slowly, hahaha." Nangong Yu thought of him just like a gust of wind The speed at which he threw the unknown object into the room caused the rattling sound, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Nangong Yu, stop laughing, I'm serious."

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Nangong Yu rubbed his stomach, but still couldn't hide the smile on his face, he pulled Yu Chigong up and walked into the room while secretly wondering, when did he smile so lowly.
