Qiao Ruo Chu's feet chilled. She forced herself to remain calm and pretended to be indifferent as she said: "I've never heard of this name before. There are a lot of people surnamed Qiao in the world."

Xu Zhen Xi put his hands behind his back and nodded his bald head as he said: "I heard that Miss Qiao's father came from the same village. I was so homesick that I always thought the Qiao family and I were from the same hometown."

He said it earnestly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Oh, so it's like that. But I heard from my father that my ancestor is from the people of Qiao Wan Town in the middle of Sichuan. He's been doing small business all the way along the Yangtze River to the Xiang City." There was a smile on Qiao Ruo's face and she spoke very seriously.

Xu Zhen Xi's eyeballs slipped around, his mole trembled a few times, then he smiled and said: "So that's how it is."

The last time he went to see Lin Junmai, he tried to persuade him to join forces with him against the Qiao family. However, Lin Junmai said that he had taken a fancy to the young lady of the Qiao family and warned him not to attack the Qiao family.

He was silent for a while.

Recently, he had been thinking of a way to deal with Lin Junyi. If Lin Junyi didn't allow him to do so, then he might as well go easy on him.

He originally wanted to go straight to the Qiao family for a visit as a gift, but when he heard that Qiao Qingya was alone and proud and aloof, it was common for people to not open the door for him, he gave up on this idea.

He thought of Qiao Ruo Chu. After all, it was much easier to deal with a sixteen or seventeen year old girl.

He sent people to follow her for a few days and found out that Qiao Ruo just came out of school to go home. She never ran around and it was difficult for him to find an opportunity to get close to her.

Just as he was worrying that he wouldn't have the chance to see Qiao Ruozhu, today's opportunity came.

Although a few probing words didn't work, he finally managed to get in touch with Qiao Ruo Chu. She finally understood that there was someone like Xu Zhen Xi, so he had some backup plans when he tried to get close to her.

"Master, which family's daughter is this?"

Qiao Ruo Chu was just about to leave when she saw the leather-wearing woman walking over from the counter.

"Hehe, Man Man, come, you know her, this is the young miss Jin Qiao from the Qiao family that owns the silk shop in Xiang City." Xu Zhenxi explained.

Her guess was right, this woman was indeed accompanied by Xu Zhenxi.

She was carrying several handbags, heavy and looking as if she had bought a lot of clothes.

Qiao Ruo was initially afraid that she would take the opportunity to slip away and reveal her cowardice, so she confirmed Xu Zhen Xi's guess. She could only stand and deal with them for a while longer.

The woman had a strange look in her eyes. She carefully observed Qiao Ruo Chu inch by inch and said with a sour look on her face, "Oh, so it's the Qiao family's young miss." Hello, my name is Schman. "

She reached out to shake hands with him.

The scent of her perfume was pungent to the nose. Qiao Ruo Chu lightly held her hand and immediately released it.

An idea popped into her mind. This woman's surname was Shi, and Qiao Ruo Chu's mother was also surnamed Shi. Could she be someone from her maternal grandfather's side?

Qiao Ruo didn't know at first.

"In the future, if Miss Qiao wants to buy clothes or anything, just call Manman. She is very familiar with the fashionable places in the Minister's City."

Xu Zhenxi immediately thought of another method to get close to Qiao Ruozhu. He didn't believe that his intuition was wrong. Could it be that Qiao Qingya really wasn't a descendant of Qiao Sanmu?

He had been a tomb robber all his life, and his ability was innate. Where would he find things and people related to the mausoleum? He only needed to sniff and he would know.

There were many times that he wanted to overturn the suspicion that Qiao Qingya was Qiao Sanmu's descendant, but his natural sense of smell had pulled him back and kept telling him that the Royal Tomb construction map was in the Qiao Family's hands!

Qiao Ruo Chu treated his words as a courtesy. She pretended to be in a hurry as she looked at the clock in the hall. She politely said she had an appointment and quickly dodged it.

She left the department store and headed back to Yanzhou Park.

The street was in an uproar as a group of people surrounded them.

He didn't know what had happened.

Qiao Ruo didn't join in on the fun and walked all the way home.

Sun Yiyi's mother was anxiously looking for her, but when she saw her, she happily said: "But we're back. Master told us to look for Miss everywhere."

Aunt Yu also came out to welcome them, saying nervously, "Fortunately we came back. I heard that there were two groups of soldiers fighting in the street. You didn't meet her, did you? "

As she changed her shoes, she said, "I just saw a lot of people gathered on the street. I don't know what's going on, so I didn't go over to take a look."

Qiao Qingya stood up and said, "It hasn't been peaceful outside recently. If you have nothing to do in the future, you should go less. If you want to go, you can have the driver take you there."

Qiao Ruoxi agreed.

Could it be that Lin Junmai's men were fighting with someone else?

Qiao Ruo Chu thought to herself.

He had never done it in secret, so why did he start fighting on the street this time?

If his men were involved, he would lose a lot of face.

This time, he didn't know how many people he was going to kill to vent his hatred.

The sound of gunfire from the last time he had cleaned Wu Zhizhan and turned into his trusted aide was still resounding in her ears. Qiao Ruo shuddered just thinking about it.

She was beginning to agree with her father's vigilance towards Lin Junmai. To put it bluntly, the father and daughter of the Qiao family were commoners, and they were even more distant from the butcher who slaughtered pigs, not to mention the fact that Lin Junmai had killed humans.

On this side of the city, it turned out that the deputy chief of the office of Wu Xiecheng was the overlord. After Wu's death, Shen Junan often served in Hangzhou, and Lin Junyi was the one who could cover the sky with one hand in the city.

Some people liked to say that he was young and capable, that he was able to hold the city in check for evil. Some people said that he was vicious, that he would buy a lot of guns and ammunition, and that in the future, he would definitely expand his territory and start a dispute.

All of these things were very far away from the sixteen-year-old girl, Qiao Ruquan, even though they had once had a private experience.

As Qiao Ruo expected.

Before going to bed in the evening, the city vaguely heard a string of gunshots. After the gunshots, the city was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, as if no one dared to breathe too loudly for a period of time.

The sound of such a shot had been heard once in the city, and everyone knew that the headquarters was executing the prisoner.

In a few days someone would be in the street saying whose family had been shot and where they had been buried, and then making up some ghost stories to scare the little ones into going home and going to bed as soon as it was dark.

Qiao Ruoxi also felt strange and scared.

She went to bed early.

The next day, she went to the newspaper to find out what had happened in the city. Even after browsing for a long time, she still didn't find any news about yesterday.

The newspapers in the city were full of songs and dances yesterday. People were living and working in peace. Young people were talking about the wind and moon. There was no news of a fire or the execution of a criminal.

Seeing Joe's daughter leafing through the newspaper, Qiao Qingya said indignantly: "Not in the newspapers, the headquarters is a big hand to cover the sky. The newspapers are also soft. "

He had probably already looked through it.

Qiao Ruoxi did not say anything.

There was no news at all. The citizens of the city probably knew about the shooting yesterday, but they had no idea who it was. They also had no idea what crime they had committed.

Lin Jun Mai had truly done it.

He wondered if anyone would take him to the provincial government or directly to the Nanjing government.

No matter what, he had to give the people an explanation.
