The next day, Xu Shaotang was called to the study by the old man.
"Your business has been taken care of?"
As soon as Xu Shaotang arrived at his study, the old man asked him with a smile.
Xu Shaotang nodded and said, "it's all handled. It's not a big deal."
"Ha ha, are they from China or other countries?" The old man looked at Xu Shaotang with a smile.
"Well, what country?" Xu Shaotang pretends that he doesn't understand anything. After they have dealt with this kind of thing, there's no need to tell the old man so as not to destroy his elegance.
Seeing that Xu Shaotang was still pretending to be a fool, the old man said with a smile, "do you think you can hide it from me? Come on, did you deal with the people who were going to assassinate me last night? "
Well, it seems that their little trick can't hide the old man's wisdom.
Now that the old man has guessed it, Xu Shaotang no longer conceals it. He says faintly: "a group of warriors from the East Island have been killed by us all."
"East island again? Ha ha, our neighbor is really restless. " Although the old man had a smile on his face, his eyes were shrouded in murder. "It seems that the island has been controlled by the hand of God. After the London summit, maybe it's time to fight them too!"
Xu Shaotang can guess that the East Island has been controlled by the hand of God. How can the old man not guess this.
"Although our guess should be correct, there is no evidence to prove that the East Island has been controlled by the hand of God. If we start after the London summit, will it..."
Before Xu Shaotang's words were finished, the old man raised his hand to stop him from going on. The old man looked at Xu Shaotang and said with a faint smile, "I don't need any evidence. I say that the East Island is controlled by the hand of God, it is controlled!"
Domineering!
The old man's voice is not big, but his words are incomparable. It seems that he has never paid attention to the island.
"Well, you win." Xu Shaotang helplessly to the old man, and then asked: "early in the morning called me to the study, not just to ask me about it?"
Many things have been guessed by the old man. He was called to the study early in the morning. It should not be for this. Most of the time, the old man had other things to tell him.
The old man nodded, put away the smile on his face, quietly looked at Xu Shaotang and said, "I asked Tang Xiangming yesterday to arrange people around the Xu family to protect the safety of the Xu family."
"No?" Xu Shaotang didn't understand the intention of the old man for a moment. He said with a smile: "I'm not bragging. Just the people they arranged, I can abuse them by any one of my people. It's a waste of police force to let them protect the Xu family here. It's better to let them go to other places to shine."
"You don't understand me!" The old man gently shook his head and said, "I asked them to arrange someone to protect the Xu family. Protection is the second and surveillance is the most important. Now, do you understand? "
As the old man's voice fell, the smile on Xu Shaotang's face disappeared. He just looked up at the old man quietly, hoping to see some different look in his eyes.
However, the old man's eyes are pure and bright, with a smile and Xu Shaotang's eyes.
"Give me your reasons." Xu Shaotang's voice is a little cold, but his eyes are still staring at the old man. It's impossible to say that there will be no anger in his heart.
He thinks that he has done too many things for Huaxia, and even almost killed himself again and again. Now the old man has to arrange someone to watch him, which is undoubtedly a chilling move for him. If it is not for the respected old man who is sitting in front of him now, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not stand up and curse his mother.
Listening to Xu Shaotang's cold voice, the old man knew that Xu Shaotang must be resentful. He raised his hand to show him not to be excited, and then said seriously: "I'm afraid there will be another Xia Jiuli!"
As the old man's voice fell, Xu Shaotang finally understood his intention.
"You just don't trust me?" Although Xu Shaotang's voice is not as cold as it was just now, it is helpless.
The old man shook his head and said, "if I don't trust you, I won't give you that brand. However, it is because of my trust in you that I have to arrange for someone to watch the Xu family. Can you understand me when I say that? "
Xu Shaotang quietly reflects on what the old man said just now. It seems that the old man's words are contradictory, but when he thinks about it carefully, he can understand the old man's intention.
He now has one of the four brands in his hands. To some extent, he has entered the core circle, which also means that he has a lot of power.
It is precisely because he has such power that the old man has to arrange people to monitor the Xu family, so as to prevent him from using his power to become the next Xia Jiuli. As long as he has the heart, the resources he has now can become an existence beyond Xia Jiuli.It's not so much that the old man is sending people to monitor the Xu family as he is looking at the people who are in contact with the Xu family, so as to grasp the trend of the Xu family.
After understanding this point, Xu Shaotang's face finally eased up, nodded to the old man and said, "since you have said that, I have no opinion here. I have only one request. The people who are arranged to watch the Xu family here can't disturb the life of my family, and can't spy on the privacy of my family. "
"I've told Tang Xiangming about that." The old man nodded and said, "I'm glad that you can understand our difficulties. A Xia Jiuli has made the North chaotic for so many years. Now it's an extraordinary time. We can't stand such hardships any more. You can rest assured that the people who monitor the Xu family will always appear in the form of a shadow. "
"Well, that's the best way." Xu Shaotang nodded and said, "if there is nothing else, I will go out first."
"Well, you go out first." The old man quietly looked at Xu Shaotang and said, "maybe you still have some resentment in your heart, but I believe you can figure it out."
Xu Shaotang nodded, stood up and walked out of the study.
Although he can understand the old man's difficulties, he still has some resentment in his heart. If anyone encounters this kind of thing, he will have resentment, but he is not good at hiding it. Moreover, as a normal person, when he suddenly learns that he is going to be monitored, he will not be able to get used to such a life for a while and a half. If he does not know it, it will be all right. But now that he knows it, he will surely consciously or unconsciously think that he is being exposed to other people's eyes.
After going out of the study, Xu Shaotang walked slowly to the back garden.
