The encounter of the old guns

Chapter 9: Zhang Family

The sun at □□ had just brightened, with a little bit of warm sunlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the balcony door, and shining on a snow-white bed sheet.

A messy sheet and an unopened suitcase were just placed on the side of the bed. Xia Xi, who was lying on the bed, slept soundly, and rolled herself into a ball with the quilt. Last night, she traveled from Beijing to Hangzhou. The plane, as soon as I came back, I fell asleep until now.

"Quack...quack...", the sudden ringing of the mobile phone startled the person on the bed, because the whole body was wrapped up in the sheets, Xia Xi struggled to move her body to the side of the bedside table,

"Ah... huh..." After getting the phone, he clicked on the hands-free button, waiting for the other party to speak,

"Xiao Xi?" The person on the other end is Xiaobo, who agreed to call him back when he arrives. The cell phone that has not moved since last night, he knows that this confused Xia Xi must have forgotten again. Now Well!Definitely still asleep in bed!

"Well, me? I haven't woken up yet...it's not..." I thought it was only around seven o'clock in the morning, but I took my words back when I glanced at the alarm clock next to the bed, and it showed exactly nine o'clock 9 minutes, it's almost ten o'clock,

This is how Xia Xi was woken up by Xiaobo's phone call in the morning. After hanging up the phone, she opened her eyes and looked around to see the familiar room environment, yes!She had come back last night, home, back to the home she had escaped for three years,

This is an old house of the Xia family in Hangzhou. It is located in a quiet place. Xia Xi opened the window of the balcony to welcome

There was a cool wind blowing in front of me, and after taking a deep breath, I felt much more comfortable.

"That's great!", very pleasant!

The Xia family is a typical merchant family. This is no longer an ordinary business. The business has already done a lot. The old house used to be lived by Grandpa and Xia Xi. After Grandpa passed away, I went out for three years. The whole house is only the old house. Grandpa's old housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, is taking care of it, not to mention that for Xia Xi, this is the only place that can be called "home".

I haven't been back for several years. Xia Xi has been wandering around every corner of the city these days. What is different from the past is that this is more like retrieving childhood memories. Everywhere I go, I think of For some happy moments before, Xia Xi enjoyed this state very much. It is different from the feeling outside. This is the feeling only when she returns to a place she is familiar with and returns home.

It's a pity that this state was only enjoyed for a few days. Xia Xi received another call from Xiaobo one and a half months after returning. Xiaobo's tone on the phone was very anxious, and Xiaobo's words were very vague Sentence, when Xia Xi heard the word 1 yuan, Xia Xi's heart sank, 10 yuan?The woman with the orange hair...

Come on, anyway, something happened again, and I was really hit by what I said.

Xia Xi directly booked a flight ticket to Beijing that night, and when she got off the plane, she rushed to Liu Ye's house without waiting for a moment. When she arrived, Xiaobo was already standing at the door waiting for her.

"Xiao Xi, did you see anything in the 10 yuan last time?" Although it was dark, Xia Xi still noticed the gauze wrapped around Xiaobo's head,

"You are hurt", how long has she been away!It's not bad!After entering the house, Xia Xi looked at the messy scene and was instantly stunned. Was this a thief?

"What's going on? Master Liu is alright!" Xia Xi thought of Xiaobo being so seriously injured when he was young, and thinking of Master Liu, he was even more worried.

"My dad and Aunt Xia don't know yet. The two elders went out to relax. Aunt Xia is very happy. As for this place..." But when he talked about the situation in the house, Xiaobo smiled wryly. A few times, I only know that a group of people seem to be looking for something in his house. Every time, a large group of people come, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, asking him to hand over something, Xiaobo is so crazy that he doesn’t know. What exactly are they looking for, huh!His head was also beaten by them.

"I heard them say 10 yuan, and thought that there might be something in the bag that day, so I called you." Xiaobo later remembered that the bag containing the money was given to Xia Xi himself.

"Bag?", about her?Xia Xi seems to have thought of something, a backpack?Quickly took off the backpack she was carrying, opened it and searched for it, Xia Xi poured out almost all the contents inside,

"Where is it?... this?", found a black plastic bag at the bottom of the backpack, and sure enough, he found a few remittance slips. The remittance numbers inside were very eye-catching. Knowing what these are, it is safe and concealed to put the usual gray income under the child's name, and Xia Xi's father often deals with some political people in business, so Xia Xi usually has heard of these,

It's no wonder that group of people were looking for it so urgently. Xia Xi thought about it, it's not that simple. Now she is the only one who knows these documents. Xiaobo is half-knowledgeable. Not many people know about it now, and it was solved when things were not serious.

Xiaobo couldn't return the receipt. If she returned it, the high-ranking person behind would have to track it down. As long as she left Beijing, with the background of the Xia family, she could be completely safe.

I can only do this...
