The floor could be cleaned in just a few strokes, but Xu Lixue deliberately slowed down his movements to take the opportunity to chat with the old man.
"Old sir, I haven't asked you your last name yet?"
The old man smiled and said, "Your surname is Wei, and you are a guard who protects your home and country."
Xu Lixue clasped his fists quickly, "It turns out to be Mr. Wei. My surname is Xu. Yan Wu Xu, you can call me Xiao Xu."
Wei Fu smiled and said, "I don't dare to take this position, old man. Just call me Butler Wei."
"Okay, Butler Wei, I'm lucky to have your help today, otherwise I wouldn't know when I would have to clean up. I will definitely thank you when I get the chance next time."
"It's a small effort, not worth mentioning. Okay, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. Just put the broom and dustpan next to you when you leave. Someone will take care of it."
Seeing that Wei Fu was about to leave, Xu Lixue couldn't help but become a little anxious, "Butler Wei, please stay."
Wei Fu stopped, turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Xu, do you have anything else to do?"
"That's right. I want to ask you about someone, but I don't know if it's convenient."
"It's nothing, you might as well tell me, I may not know."
"I'm looking for a man. His name is Shao Mingzhi. He is about 40 years old."
Wei Fu looked surprised at first, then suddenly smiled, "What a coincidence, I happen to know this person."
After searching for so many days with no progress, Xu Lixian was calm on the surface, but actually quite depressed on the inside. Now that he finally had the news, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Butler Wei, do you know where he is now?"
"He is in the compound. Come with me and I will take you to find him."
"good."
After walking around for more than ten minutes, Xu Lixue was brought to a small courtyard that looked very desolate and remote.
You can tell by the signs of dilapidation that it is not a place where people live.
"Butler Wei, where is this?"
Wei Fu turned around, his originally gentle eyes suddenly became sharp.
He raised his hand, and suddenly several burly men came out from all around and tied Xu Lili up tightly with hemp ropes.
In fact, Xu Lixue realized something was wrong halfway through, but he had no way out.
He alone would definitely not be able to escape from the Shao family compound, which was as huge as a royal garden.
And based on his observation and judgment, Butler Wei really knew Shao Mingzhi. In order to find him smoothly, he had to take a risk.
Seeing that Xu Lixue didn't resist at all, and there was no panic on his face, Wei Fu's eyes showed a faint look of approval, but it was fleeting and he soon returned to being cold.
"Who sent you?"
"Entrusted by a friend."
"What friend?"
Xu Lixue took stock of his surroundings and said, "Before answering this question, I would like to know if Housekeeper Wei knows the person I am looking for?"
Wei Fu smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in that smile.
"You have no room for bargaining. Just based on your behavior of breaking into the Shao family compound, I can definitely send you to the public security bureau."
Thinking of Yun Mo's instructions before setting off, Xu Lixue took a deep breath and softened his attitude.
"Butler Wei, I don't mean any harm. I came to the capital to bring a message to Mr. Shao Mingzhi."
"What words?"
"I can only tell Mr. Shao Mingzhi himself about being loyal to others when entrusted by others."
Wei Fu stared at him with inquiring eyes for a while and said, "Mr. Shao is not at home. I am his housekeeper. I can tell you."
Xu Lixue shook his head, "Sorry, Butler Wei, I can't trust you."
"Okay, I won't force you."
Xu Lixue was locked up in a small courtyard like this, with all kinds of clothes tied around his body. There were two strong men guarding the door in shifts, and it was difficult for him to fly even with his wings.
On the other end, Zheng Hua soon got the news that Xu Lixue was detained through Brother Tie.
Of course, in a legal society, no matter how prestigious the Shao family is, they will not openly step on the red line of the law. They only say to the outside world that Xu Xue Xiu is a "guest" in the Shao family.
"It's over, it's over, something big happened! Cousin, help me!"
Zheng Hua rushed to the magazine in a hurry, disguised Xu Lixue and went to the Shao family to inquire about the news. He told everything about being detained by the Shao family.
After Wen Qingsheng heard this, he suddenly felt a big headache.
Even if he had the guts to do so, he wouldn't dare to go to the Shao family to ask for someone, but he couldn't ignore it, after all, he promised to take good care of Xu Lixue.
What's more, Zheng Hua had something to do with Xu Lixue's visit to the Shao family, and Zheng Hua was the person he arranged for Xu Lixue.
After much thought, Wen Qingsheng decided to ask his uncle for help.
As for why he didn't go to his father, the first reason was that he was afraid of being beaten, and the second reason was that Zheng Hua was the cause of the trouble, so there was nothing wrong with asking Zheng Hua and his father to come forward to solve the problem.
But Zheng Hua quit. If the matter was revealed to his father, wouldn't he be in bad luck?
"No, cousin, you can't go to my dad. He will definitely beat me to death if he knows that I have caused such a big trouble."
Wen Qingsheng patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'm here, how could I just let you be beaten to death."
Before Zheng Hua had time to be moved, he heard the next sentence, "At most, you will be beaten half to death, but you will not die."
Zheng Hua almost cried "Wow", "Are you still my brother? Are you my enemy!?"
"I'm just a cousin, not a real brother. One cousin is a thousand miles away, and our relationship isn't that close."
Zheng Hua stared at him aggrievedly, "What do you mean?"
Wen Qingsheng's words were sincere and pitiful, "I asked you to study more but you had to go and herd pigs. I can't even hear that. Of course I want to draw a clear line with you. When the time comes, the Shao family will come to settle accounts, so that you won't be involved."
.”
"You, you, you, are you talking humanly? Don't forget, it was you who asked me to take care of Brother Xu! You have nothing to do with this!"
Qing Wensheng picked his nose guiltily, "I asked you to be his guide and take him around to see where he should eat and play. I didn't ask you to lead him to cause trouble.
What kind of place is the Shao Family Courtyard, and can you enter it casually? He is a foreigner who doesn’t know the importance, and you don’t understand either?"
Zheng Hua cried sadly, "I didn't want to help him, but he couldn't find anyone, so I thought about asking him to go to the Shao family to inquire. We had agreed in advance that we would only ask the Shao family's servants, no.
To disturb the Shao family. If I had known earlier that he would be discovered, I would never have come up with such a bad idea."
"You also know that your idea is a bad idea... jingle bell bell."
The quarrel between the two brothers was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
Wen Qingsheng picked up the phone and said, "Hello, uncle..."
Zheng Hua on the opposite side suddenly gestured nervously to Wen Qingsheng: Don't say it, shush, please, my brother...
"Okay, uncle, I understand, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, and before Zheng Hua could ask, Wen Qingsheng said directly: "Let's go home."
Zheng Hua's heart tightened, "Whose home is it?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm going back to your home!"
"You go ahead, I won't go back."
Wen Qingsheng grabbed his collar and walked out, "Your dad told me to take you back together."
Zheng Hua kept struggling, "If I don't go back, my dad will definitely know about the good things I did, and I will definitely be punished when I go back."
