Chapter 575 I lack a successor

Chapter 584584 I lack a successor

Jin Yao did not mean this as a compliment. She had always thought that Jiutai must be an old man with an unsmiling expression and a serious expression. In fact, like most old people, Jiutai looked very kind, especially her eyes.

"Haha." Jiutai smiled: "You girl, you are quite interesting. You are right, no matter what the outside world says about me, I am actually just an old man who is dying. Just sit down."

Xi Xiangnan and Jin Yao sat down, and the housekeeper was busy serving tea.

“Your name is Jin Yao?”

"yes."

“You look young, are you still in school?”

“I am a sophomore in college and will be a junior next semester.”

“You are a good student. You are still a student, which means you are still having good years.” Jiutai said cheerfully: “You suddenly came to see me today, but what happened?”

Jin Yao glanced at Xi Xiangnan, who said calmly: "Jiu Tai, it's like this. I handled a case before, and the person who committed the crime was involved in several major international cases. Of course, I am not responsible for this case now, but I just suddenly heard that I was surprised when I heard the news, so I came here to check it out.”

“It’s about Xiao Hong.” Jiutai interrupted Xi Xiangnan’s tirade.

“Yes.” Xi Xiangnan did not deny it.

"Jiu Tai." Jin Yao sat up straight and looked at Jiu Tai: "To tell you the truth, my uncle is Sister Hong's first love. The two have been separated for eight years, and they reconciled half a month ago. But. Soon, Sister Hong was taken away and was rumored to be pregnant with my uncle’s child.”

Jiutai held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her eyelashes trembled slightly: "My first love rekindled my old love. Everything is normal. What does this have to do with you guys looking for me?"

"Jiutai, we know that Sister Hong is your goddaughter. If something happens to her, you will definitely not sit idly by." Jin Yao was wearing a suit today, and the light flowing out of her eyes was like gems in the sky, making people Can't look away.

"Yao Yao, right?" Jiutai put down the Buddhist beads in his hand: "I recognize Xiao Hong as my goddaughter, just because I owe someone a favor and help him look after her. As for her personal affairs, I will not interfere. Besides, I am a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. If she really makes a mistake, she will be punished, and I will not take action. "

Jiu Tai’s words surprised Jin Yao.

Last time, Mr. Ren said that Mrs. Jiu recognized Hong Feiyan because of her cooking skills. Now Mrs. Jiu said that she recognized Hong Feiyan because she owed a favor to someone.

“To be able to make Jiutai owe him a favor, I think he is a very remarkable person.” Jin Yao had a bold guess in her heart, and she had to confirm this guess.

"She's not a big shot, but she's quite popular." Jiutai's smile deepened a little: "If you want me to absolve Xiaohong, you'd better go back. If she really commits a crime, she will naturally be punished."

Jin Yao originally wanted to ask her something else, but he swallowed the words and stood up: "Jiutai, since you need to rest, Xiangnan and I will go back first and come to visit you next time."

“Old Li, please send Master Xi off for me.”

"Yes." The steward made a gesture of invitation: "You two, please."

Jin Yao casually grabbed a string of Buddhist beads on the table and attacked Jiutai. Jin Yao spent some effort, but people with average skill would not be able to catch it.

Jiutai caught it casually, glanced at Jin Yao gently, and said in a raised tone: "Little girl, what do you mean?"

"I heard that Jiutai is very skilled, so I want to see it with my own eyes." Jin Yao stood there and looked at the other person's hands, and then she finally realized something was wrong.

Jiutai picked it up with his left hand, and he also held the beads with his left hand just now.

Either he is left-handed, or his right hand cannot move much for some reason.

"sit down."

Jin Yao: “…”

"Your cleverness is beyond my expectation. I had some hope for your arrival, and you really did not disappoint me." "Jiu Tai knew that I was coming."

"You disappeared once before, and your uncle found me and asked me to find someone for him. Since then, I have known about your existence and have been asking about you. All in all, your behavior is quite good. It's a bit like me back then, and I quite appreciate it." Jiutai didn't do charades this time and spoke directly.

Hearing what she said, Jin Yao understood that her move just now was a good bet: "Jiu Tai, can I think so, you and my uncle have known each other for a long time."

Jiutai listened to her words and smiled like a child who found money: "Little girl, you have to pay a price for asking for information from me. Are you ready?"

“Jiutai, what you just said was actually an attempt to lure me in.”

lived

“Jiu Tai.” Xi Xiangnan interjected: “I wonder what kind of price Jiu Tai wants?”

"It's none of your business, so you don't need to interrupt." Jiutai glanced at the housekeeper: "Master, take Mr. Xi down, and I'll talk to the little girl."

Xi Xiangnan: "..." I dare say he has become the redundant one.

"Master Xi, please come with me." The housekeeper respectfully asked Xi Xiangnan to go out.

"You go ahead, Jiutai is a peaceful person, I don't think she will embarrass me." Jin Yao gave Xi Xiangnan a reassuring look.

"I'm right outside the door. If you need anything, just call me." Xi Xiangnan nodded slightly and said goodbye to Jiutai: "Jiutai, you have a good talk with Yaoyao, I'm going down."

"Um."

Jiutai looked at Jin Yao, then stood up: "Help me go to the study."

Jin Yao didn't understand what Mrs. Jiu wanted to talk to her, but the other party said she wanted to go to the study, so just go to the study. Stand up and help the other person towards the study.

Jiutai's study room is very simple. There are only a few rare Chinese books and a few autobiographies of famous people, but there are no other books.

"Jiu Tai, you said that if I want to ask about my uncle, I have to pay a price. Now you can tell me what the price is."

“That bull’s head is a switch, turn it on.” The old lady pointed to a bull’s head next to her. The two horns on the bull’s head were real.

Jin Yao did as he was told, and with a slight twist, a door appeared on the wall.

Inside the door is a practice room.

"Back then, your uncle practiced there for three months." Jiutai said slowly: "I told him that if you beat me, you can leave my place, so if you want to get information about him, it's easy to beat me. "

Jin Yao glanced at Jiutai. She said, Jiutai looked like she had no fighting ability. Such an old man was really good at controlling his fists.

But the opponent's move just now was definitely not accidental. She must not be careless about the old man in front of her.

“If you lose, stay with me. If you win, I’ll tell you what you want to know. This is the condition.”

This condition doesn’t sound too excessive: “Jiutai, why do you want to keep me here?”

“Because I am short of a successor and your uncle is not willing, I have no choice but to look for you.” Jiutai smiled softly, looking magnificent.
