Ms. Chen was sitting on a chair with an openwork pattern of blessings and longevity. The lights in the lobby were bright, illuminating her graying silver hair.
Apart from her, there were three other people in the room. Fang Zhenwan was sitting on a high chair with the same expressionless face as her.
A tall man pushed open the door and came in. After saluting, he said: "Fang Ji and others are confirmed to be dead."
Mrs. Chen looked towards Fang Zhenwan.
Fang Zhenwan acted as if she hadn't heard anything and kept looking forward, but the fingers on her legs were slightly clenched, revealing her emotions at this time.
Mrs. Chen looked away and said, "I understand."
Shopkeeper Xu, Fang Ji, and four men in black under Fang Ji.
In one day, six people died.
Moreover, Feishuang Pavilion is gone.
They didn't have a clue as to why Feishuang Pavilion was missing. They were taken away inexplicably. Shopkeeper Xu's body was just hanging for them to see.
"And," the man who just came in looked at Fang Zhenwan and said, "before Fang Ji died, he called out the word "Qiao" in the high building and called Ah Li the remnant of the Qiao family."
Chen paused and said, "He shouted in front of everyone?"
"yes."
Mrs. Chen immediately turned to Fang Zhenwan: "Why didn't you say it!?"
"I'm waiting for the exact news of his death before I speak."
"Fang Ji is a man with a calm temperament. Is he doing this under your instructions?"
"I am in the north and he is in another place. How can I instruct him?" Fang Zhenwan said in a calm tone. "The reason why he is like this is that maybe he is about to die and he doesn't want to make things easier for the other party. After all, whether Ah Li is a remnant of the Qiao family or Xia
The orphans in our family are of no importance to our family."
The people who hate Mr. Qiao are not his Fang family, nor Mr. Chen who is sitting here.
As for the theory that Fang Ji has a calm temperament, it is just an escalation process of being constantly stimulated. How many people in this world can withstand the humiliation in front of everyone. However, this is a story for another day.
Mrs. Chen frowned and said coldly: "Whether it is insignificant or not, you need an explanation."
"Fang Ji is dead." Fang Zhen said with a smile.
"you are still alive."
"It's not under my control."
Chen's eyes looked at her with anger.
Fang Zhenwan remained calm and calm, turning a blind eye to her anger.
The man who just came in said: "The power of Hengxiang is now in their hands. They still have thousands of soldiers and horses. We should not get too entangled. Mr. Guo Guan has a subordinate named Hou Rui. He was previously killed by Shen Lie in Tao'anling.
Saved, maybe, he can become a chess piece."
Mrs. Chen did not answer his words, but looked towards the other two people in the room, asking for their opinions.
One is a middle-aged man with dark skin, short stature, and a somewhat dull look in his eyes.
The other one is Chen's cousin, Chen Lei, who is only one year younger than Chen.
"That's all we can do. Leave Hou Rui behind and let's go to Nanyu Village and evacuate Hengxiang." Chen Lei said.
"Brother Jin Wu, what do you think?" Chen asked the middle-aged man with dark skin.
The man known as Jin Wu Ge stayed out of the whole process. When Mr. Chen asked him, he raised his eyes and said: "We still have ten treasures to be perfected, and we can't live without Hengxiang."
"Then, you will stay in the city first?"
"Give us all your hands," Brother Jin Wu said, "our treasure must not be damaged in the slightest."
"I can arrange things," Chen said.
It wasn't an agreement, it wasn't a rejection, it was just a vague answer.
Brother Jin Wu said "Yeah", looked away, and continued to stay out of the matter.

The long avenue of Mofang Street is brightly lit, especially Qimotang, which has shops on both sides and top and bottom, making it the most dazzling glazed building on Mofang Street.
Previously, Qimotang had always been low-key and restrained, no different from ordinary study shops. This time after Xia Jiajun and Yan Jun entered the city, Wang Fengnian no longer kept secrets, and went straight to the public in an ostentatious manner. Only then did the neighbors know that this shop had such a big background.
The gate was heavily guarded. When a soldier saw a man and a woman riding side by side on the long street, he was immediately overjoyed: "It's the second young lady!"
The companions beside him looked overjoyed.
Someone in the house heard the sound and came out. He immediately turned around and went to the back hall to find Wang Fengnian.
When Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie dismounted, Wang Fengnian was already waiting at the door with a large group of people. Wang Fengnian was ecstatic and stepped forward and said: "Big boss, it's really you!"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled at him: "Let's go inside first."
She did not go to see the people in Yanchun Tower, nor did she go to see Zhang Yiqian, whom Shen Lie mentioned on his way back. She also did not want to read the letters that Wang Fengnian had kept and found from Zhang Yiqian.
Her body was so tired that she finally had some desire for worldly pleasures. She wanted to eat a good meal, take a hot and comfortable bath, and then wrap herself in a soft and silky brocade blanket and go to the party. A sweet feeling of snoring.
However, while waiting for something to eat, she could hardly keep her eyelids open.
In the safest and most comfortable environment, her psychological defense was almost zero, and those sleepy thoughts emerged freely.
When the hot meals were brought one by one, she was already drowsy and shaky before taking a few bites.
Wang Fengnian tried his best not to disturb or speak. Seeing that she was like this, he couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "Big boss..."
Xia Zhaoyi opened her eyelids, gently curved her lips at him, and continued to chew slowly for a few mouthfuls. Suddenly, her head hit the food in front of her.
Before anyone could scream in surprise, Shen Lie, who was sitting next to her, quickly reached out and held her forehead firmly with his big palm.
The extremely gentle force relieved her momentum.
Xia Zhaoyi tried to get up, but when she was half asleep, someone took the chopsticks away from her hands. She was so sleepy that she lost all her strength, fell sideways, and bumped softly into Shen Lie's shoulder.
Shen Lie hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling backwards and falling to the ground.
Seeing his left hand wrapped around her arm, Shen Lie subconsciously curled up into a fist, fearing to offend her.
"My boss, my boss?" Wang Fengnian shouted in a low voice.
Xia Zhaoyi closed her eyes deeply, as if she had fallen asleep.
"This..." Wang Fengnian raised his head and looked at Shen Lie as if asking for help, "General Shen, what do you think should be done?"
Shen Lie looked down at the girl. In this posture, she was no different from falling into his arms.
She was so tired that her face, which was already as big as a palm, became thinner and thinner.
When they met tonight, he saw that she had obviously lost weight. Because her skin was too white, the faint black circle under her eyes became more and more obvious.
Even though she was so tired, she still maintained her vitality all night long, shining and dazzling, and now...
A helpless smile appeared in his deep black eyes unconsciously.
The world said that she was almost omnipotent, but now beside him, she was like a naughty naughty child who was willful and persistent and had to exhaust her own strength.
"General Shen?" Wang Fengnian was afraid that Shen Lie was about to fall asleep.
Shen Lie plucked up the courage and looked at Wang Fengnian: "Manager Wang, let me take her back to her room."
"That's good!" Wang Fengnian didn't dare to touch her, and he also knew that other people in the store would not dare either. It wasn't that the girl was not sexually compatible, but the elegance and nobility of her body that invisibly put them off.
"However," Wang Fengnian said, "I still have to trouble General Shen to wipe our boss's mouth."
With that said, Wang Fengnian handed over a clean handkerchief.
Shen Lie picked it up and looked down at the girl in his arms.
After a pause, his slender fingers with distinct knuckles held the handkerchief and wiped it towards her lips.
The soft and plump lips were smeared with a layer of water from what they had just eaten. The handkerchief wiped them gently, more like something brushing from the top of Shen Lie's heart, thin and itchy, soft and sultry. Heartstrings.
Her lips are so beautiful, moist and tender, which makes people endlessly daydream. There is definitely more than just the square handkerchief in her hand that she wants to touch.
But at this moment, the long eyelashes of the girl in her arms trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her sleepy eyes.
Shen Lie paused and looked into her eyes.
Her eyes were so clear that even though they were blurry and scattered at the moment, he could still clearly see the outline that belonged to him in the depths of her eyes.
"...Ali?" Shen Lie called softly.
"I want to rinse my mouth." Xia Zhaoyi murmured, her head sank, and she fell asleep next to him again.
"..."
After a while, Shen Lie put a smile on his lips and looked at Wang Fengnian: "I'd be happy for you, Manager Wang, to send the hot water to her bedroom."
"Yes." Wang Fengnian responded.
Ying Wan felt strange. It was clear that Shen Lie was an outsider, but he was a subordinate of the big boss and one of his own. Why did he hear these words so awkwardly?
Shen Lie stood up carefully and then picked up the girl.
One hand gently held her shoulder and neck, letting her lean into his arms. The other hand against the side of her leg was still clenched into a fist, trying to avoid contact as much as possible.
But his heartbeat was very chaotic. He tried his best to restrain himself, but it was still a mess.
