"Old Bai has carried the jade ball with him for so many years, and he has never heard of anything strange happening."
"Everyone laughed and said that the jade ball would become an heirloom of the old Bai family."
"Passed down from generation to generation."
"If this continues, maybe it will actually have a protective effect."
…
Boss Cai picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of water.
Having said so many words at once, his mouth was thirsty.
"Master Xiao?"
The silence on the phone made Boss Cai unable to help but speak out.
"Old Bai and I get along well on the surface. We don't have much contact in private. We only know things that everyone knows."
"Didn't I help you?"
…
"Won't."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I'm just a little curious about the jade ball."
"Boss Cai, thank you for telling me so much."
…
"Oh, Master Xiao, you are out of sight now."
Although he felt regretful that he didn't know anything, Boss Cai's face soon became full of smiles.
"How big of a deal is it?"
"Why do you need Master Xiao to thank me?"
"Master Xiao, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Boss Cai was still wondering if he could get more information from Master Xiao, "I will tell you everything I know."
…
"there is none left."
Xiao Xiao knew everything he wanted to know.
That jade ball was not something Boss Bai got recently, but he got it from his father.
His father has owned this jade ball for most of his life.
Keep it with you at all times.
Consider it a talisman.
It can be seen from this that his initial guess was correct. The jade ball did not cause any harm to the person holding it.
Then, he has no reason to intervene.
…
"Yeah?"
Boss Cai couldn't control the disappointment in his tone.
"Ahem~"
Boss Cai hurriedly coughed a few times as if to cover up, "Well, Master Xiao, if you have anything else to ask later, you can call me at any time."
"I'm happy to help Master Xiao."
"Of course, if I knew."
"unknown……"
Boss Cai touched his chin and said, "I will also try my best to find out information for Master Xiao."
…
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "There is nothing else I want to know."
"If there is any need in the future, I will trouble Boss Cai again."
"well."
Boss Cai said with a smile, "Master Xiao, please don't be polite to me when the time comes."
"I'm very happy to be able to help Master Xiao."
…
After a few more pleasantries, Boss Cai hung up the phone.
He did most of the talking after that.
No.
It should be said that he was basically talking during the entire phone call.
Although he didn't get any useful information, this phone call made him feel a little closer to Master Xiao.
It's worth it.
When their relationship gets closer, they will tell him some things that Master Xiao doesn't tell him now, right?
…
Xiao Xiao put away his phone.
Boss Cai's call came at the right time.
It just solved his doubts.
…
As for the follow-up...
He hoped there would be no follow-up.
…
Unfortunately...it backfired.
Half a month later, Xiao Xiao picked up the phone.
"Master Xiao."
Boss Cai's spirited voice came over the phone.
"Boss Cai."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
I had some vague premonitions in my heart.
…
"Master Xiao, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
Boss Cai swallowed what he was about to say and asked instead.
"I may have to take you a little longer."
"Can."
Xiao Xiao stood up.
Went to the stairwell of the library.
The half-open windows let in a little cool breeze.
He narrowed his eyes slightly in comfort.
…
"Master Xiao..."
After hesitating for a while, Boss Cai said directly, "Hey, it's Lao Bai's business."
"...He came to ask me about you."
At this point, Boss Cai couldn't help complaining, "Old Bai really likes to beat around the bush."
"I met with me several times, talking about random things..."
"I was wondering why he was so close to me all of a sudden?"
Still wondering if Old Bai has any business to do with him?
"He just told me yesterday that he wanted to meet you."
He was stunned at that time.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the other party's purpose was this.
…
"What's up?"
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky.
Today is cloudy and the sky is a little dark.
But after seeing too many clear blues in summer, this gray-blue color is also eye-catching.
Boss Cai smiled.
He just likes Master Xiao's straightforwardness.
but……
"He didn't tell me what the specific matter was."
He can understand if the other party does this.
Finding out about Master Xiao is definitely not an easy task.
If he had asked someone to find Master Xiao last time, he would not have told the person he was asked to tell clearly that there was a strange thief in his shop who stole shoes from customers... such strange things.
Even if you know, maybe the other party has vaguely heard about something.
Unless the other party has a good relationship with him, he won't say anything.
Heard is heard.
But when it comes from the mouth of the person involved, it’s solid.
…
"If you say you want to see Master Xiao, tell him face to face."
Boss Cai has been curious since yesterday.
It can be seen from the guy's attitude towards Master Xiao last time that he doesn't like to see Master Xiao.
Only half a month had passed, and people were already coming to him for help.
All right.
The attitude of the other party cannot be said to be begging.
Just let him be a matchmaker.
Let Master Xiao meet that guy.
...
"I asked him to reveal a little bit but he was not willing."
Boss Cai curled his lips, "If I hadn't dealt with Old Bai for so many years, I would know him fairly well..."
"I don't dare to help him casually and tell Master Xiao about this."
What if Master Xiao is embarrassed or unhappy by someone else's request?
So he didn't do bad things with good intentions?
...
"Old Bai said it's not a big deal."
Perhaps seeing his hesitation, Old Bai finally explained a few words.
"He just has some questions he wants to ask Master Xiao."
"He said he was a little rude to Master Xiao when we met last time."
"Let me say something nice for him. He also wants to apologize to Master Xiao in person."
Boss Cai sneered in his heart.
It sounds nice now.
Why didn't you think of today when you had that attitude?
...
Thinking of the situation at that time, Boss Cai was still a little angry.
What made him angry was that his attitude towards Master Xiao was clear that day, but the other party turned a blind eye and still showed his face to Master Xiao.
Old Bai didn't give Master Xiao any face.
It didn't give him face either.
...
"Oh, that guy also knew that his attitude was not good that day..."
Boss Cai muttered.
Then he regained his voice, "Actually, I asked Old Bai how he came up with the idea of asking Master Xiao for help?"
