Paris suburb, Le Roy estate.

A calm retro car drives into the manor along the marble-paved road. The flower beds on both sides are taken care of every day. At the end of the road is a sycamore tree that is more than 300 years old.

The trunk of the tree is full of traces left by the years, and it is these traces that have witnessed the history of the Leroy family, from the prosperity of the Napoleon era to the decline of the Third Republic, from the depression during the war to the reorganization after the war.

Every child surnamed Leroy grows up under its watchful eyes, and goes to the times to give them different endings.

"Boss," Qin Xiao couldn't help asking, looking at the approaching castle ahead, "What kind of family do you think Leroy is?"

Leiris sat in the back seat of the car and said with a sneer: "They have all the traits of the French. They are cowardly and arrogant. They always like to call themselves nobles, but most of them are trash."

"You don't like them?"

"No, I like it sometimes," Lelis raised his eyebrows, "They are always generous in matters related to money, and I quite like doing business with them."

In short, people are stupid and have a lot of money. Qin Xiaogang secretly laughed, and Lelis said again: "But you can't underestimate them. Leroy's ancestors followed Napoleon to conquer Europe. No matter what, there are heroes in their bones." Blood...although it can be ignored most of the time, it does not rule out that there are one or two boys who are too hot-blooded."

After hesitating for a while, Qin Xiao asked again: "Is Young Master Chu among them?"

"Compared to Leroy, he is more like a child of the Chu family," Leilis replied without hesitation, "He has his own ideas and sometimes seems lonely, but this is also his strength .”

Qin Xiao didn't know much about the Chu family. It should be said that in the entire world of Noah people, there were not many people who knew about the Chu family, because there were only two people left in this family. Lailis was the adopted son, and Chu Xinran had always been the adopted son. Raised by the Leroy family.

In other words, Leiris and the Leroy family still have some kind of kinship relationship, so he also received high-level courtesy when he came here. He opened the car door and led him to the hall where the banquet had already been prepared, where many important members of the family were waiting.

At the end of the rectangular dining table, facing the door, sat the head of the family, that is, Chu Xinran's mother.

Leiris scanned the table, but didn't even see Chu Xinran.

The head of the family explained to him that Chu Xinran was unwell and was unable to attend the banquet, so he must find an opportunity to apologize in person in the future.

Leiris sneered, didn't say anything superfluous, and sat in his own seat.

Chu Xinran obviously didn't want to see him, and even the Patriarch didn't bother to explain to him, so he used such a poor excuse to perfuse him.

The meal was lifeless, and although everyone present welcomed him as a "guest" who came from afar, they actually had their own thoughts, and the most common guesses were why he came here suddenly.

Most people think that as a figure who is only one step away from the core of Valhalla, the purpose of coming to the Leroy family at this time is definitely not as simple as visiting relatives and friends, but no one knows the specific situation, I am afraid Only the Patriarch knows his true purpose.

Leilis' cognition is not wrong, they are indeed very arrogant, even the Chu family who is married to the head of the family have never looked at it, let alone his adopted son who came out of the Sacred Heart Welfare Institute, no matter how rich he is now, in These people are nothing but nouveau riche in front of them.

Leiris's table manners were impeccable, but the more he did it, the more it seemed he was imitating aristocratic behaviour.

Everyone was talking about art exhibitions, polo, and fashion week. Leilis didn't say a word, and he ate by himself. Some people wanted to take care of his "guest", so they asked: "Mr. Chu usually What hobbies do you have?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, he is the cousin of the head of the house, and the uncle of Chu Xinran, who is currently in the business of a winery.

"No," said Riley stoutly, "I'm busy."

He is indeed very busy. It is rare to see a boss who can work overtime with his employees every weekend, and he is almost the last one in the company to leave on weekdays. At first, the employees thought it was inappropriate to leave work earlier than the boss. It was discovered later that he may have suffered from some kind of disease that "if you don't work overtime, you will die", which is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Then what do you usually do?" the man continued to ask.

"Making money," Lelis said casually, "supplying Valhalla's cash flow is not easy."

The man smiled: "The organization should not be so short of money. The Leroy family allocates one billion euros to Valhalla's account every year."

Lelis put down his spoon and raised his lips: "Thank you very much. Without the one billion euros, the hotel that the hunter blew up in Dubai last time would not be able to pay compensation for a while."

The man's smile froze.

"Because another team happened to dismantle five cruise ships in the Pacific at that time, I spent 5000 million just to bribe the media, not to mention the compensation and how to bring them out of the military court."

man:"……"

The attention of other people at the table was also focused on him. Leilis was tasting the dessert after the meal. The doctor had already severely warned him to quit sugar, and he had to take two more bites while Qin Xiao was away.

Suddenly, someone laughed out loud.

Following the laughter, everyone looked over and found that it was the Patriarch sitting at the head of the banquet. The woman's eyebrows and eyes were raised, her demeanor was like that of a young girl, and she had the unique elegance of a mature woman.

"So, it's really not easy for you." The Patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

"If you can educate your son well, I can relax a little bit," Lelis said to her, raising his red wine glass, "Two of the five warships were dismantled by him."

The woman also raised her glass, touched him, and asked with a smile, "How much did you lose in total?"

"Two [-] million ships," Leilis said unceremoniously, "my secretary is outside, you can just ask him for remittances."

After several months of hard work serving the boss, Qin Xiao has been promoted from an intern assistant to the president's secretary. He is currently dining elsewhere arranged by the housekeeper. Big business for Euros.

After the meal, the old butler took Qin Xiao to visit the castle. Every wall here has a very long history, but it is very well maintained. Only the open-air corridors that are ventilated on all sides can see the traces of erosion by wind and rain.

There is a large pasture at the back of the manor, half of which is a golf course, the other half is a field for playing polo, and there is also a small open space for children to play.

At this time, there were not many people on the pasture, and Qin Xiao suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance.

The young man took the frisbee in his hand and threw it towards the horse farm. The three border collies shot out like arrows. At the last moment, they all jumped into the air, grabbing the frisbee almost at the same time, but only one of them relied on Strength wins, running back happily, galloping towards the master.

The young man knelt down and rubbed its head, and the other two came over quickly, squatting obediently on the grass and waiting for "lucky luck".

Qin Xiao was stunned.

Why is he here?

The old housekeeper showed helplessness, the reason of "being unwell" was obviously not enough.

"He raised all three dogs?" Qin Xiao asked.

"Well," said the butler, "they are three brothers, all born in the manor, and the young master likes to play with them."

Qin Xiao went to the pasture.

The three Bian Mu played with the Frisbee tirelessly, Chu Xinran lost his patience, so he threw the Frisbee out and let them take turns throwing it, while he hid in a cooler place to rest.

"You can still play like this." Qin Xiao sighed looking at the three dogs running freely on the pasture.

Chu Xinran turned her head to look at him, recognized who he was at a glance, and said, "Aren't you going to serve my uncle?"

"It's not necessary now," Qin Xiao smiled, "Your family members are taking care of you, so it's not my turn."

Chu Xinran let out a thin hum in his nasal cavity.

"He came so far, and you don't want to see him?"

"Why don't I want to?" Chu Xinran replied, "This is called avoiding risks. When you meet him, the less people around you, the better. You should know why."

Of course Qin Xiao knew that his boss had a weird temper, and would do anything if he didn't like it. If he provoked him, he would make a fool of himself in public, and at worst, he would hurt his wealth and body.

"Don't you want to know the purpose of our coming to you earlier?"

Chu Xinran raised his head, looked at the place where the three border herds were playing, and said lightly, "I know...you want to entrust me with the task of hunting Shen Shinian, right?"

Alps, Jungfrau.

Wrapped in mountaineering clothes, Gu Yan walked on the winding mountain road, the cold wind in the mountains lifted the broken hair on his forehead.

Shen Shinian, who had studied the terrain, was in charge of leading the way, but he could only ensure that he would not lose his way. It was not easy for anyone to find those people in the endless snow-capped mountains.

From a distance, the rocky peaks are covered with white snow, and it doesn't look like a place where avalanches will happen right now. They still need to go to higher altitudes.

"There is no human body's magnetic field within a radius of ten miles." Mu Yu appeared next to Gu Yan. In order to meet the occasion, she was wearing traditional German costumes, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, and a flower basket in her hand, like "Alpine Girl" The little girl Heidi.

"Expand the scope again." Gu Yan issued an order.

"It's a bit dangerous," Mu Yu said with his head up. "The force field with too large a range is easily detected by Valhalla. There are several monitoring satellites hanging above our heads, and they can determine our position at any time."

Gu Yan said lightly, "It doesn't matter."

To him, Valhalla wasn't really a threat, at most it would be a little troublesome.

Shen Shinian, who was walking in front, stopped and asked him, "Are you tired?"

Gu Yan shook his head and said, "No."

"Take a break," Shen Shinian insisted, "It will be difficult to find a place to camp any further up."

Because of the terrain, they brought professional mountaineering equipment. They are expected to only rest on the snow slope tonight, and they are doomed not to sleep, so they need to conserve their energy.

Shen Shinian doesn't know where Gu Yan's current limit is, but he must ensure that he has the ability to deal with danger, so that he can do his best to keep the person in front of him from being threatened.

Many crises are lurking on the snow-capped mountains. He has a premonition that things are not as simple as they appear. Perhaps they have become prey in the eyes of others.
