Seeing a hint of worry on Xiaolan's face, Zhao Bai stepped over again, half-smiling but not smiling:
"Little girl, what are you worried about? Are you worried that Shi Miyuan will know my identity just like my two younger brothers and sisters? Or are you worried that Shi Miyuan thinks that your eldest brother Qin is not a problem at all, so he will find an excuse at will
Destroy him?"
Xiaolan didn't dare to look up because she was afraid of seeing Zhao Bai's shining eyes.
She was even more afraid that Zhao Bai would see the answer in her eyes.
Indeed, she was afraid. She was afraid that if everyone in Lin'an City knew the secret of this body, then everything would become beyond her control.
"Let's go." Zhao Bai said lightly, "It's time to give an explanation to Shi Miyuan. The answer Zhao Rushu wants should also be given to him."
Xiaolan was about to follow Zhao Bai when she suddenly stopped: "I forgot to tell you, although Liu Xi's body was completely cleaned, I still found this in his throat."
Xiaolan took out a piece of paper from the bag. The paper had a strong smell, probably because it was stuffed into Liu Xi's throat.
Xiaolan unfolded the paper, but there was no word on it.
"No words?" Zhao Bai stared at the piece of paper, pondering for a while, and his eyes gradually became cold, "Take this piece of paper back, I think I know how to restore it to its original state."
"This paper seems to have been stuffed into Liu Xi's throat after his death." Xiaolan added, "I think this paper has nothing to do with Shi Miyuan. It may be that another force deliberately left it to
Our clue."
Zhao Bai hummed and looked at Xiaolan with soft eyes: "Miss Xiaolan, Chaoyang didn't expect that her biggest gain from building that Yuanlou would be to cultivate a talent like you."
It always makes people happy to be praised by others, especially when the words of appreciation come from the mouth of this cold person.
Xiaolan's face couldn't help but turn red.
When Zhao Bai saw Xiaolan lowering her head, like a white lotus blooming shyly in the early sun, he actually felt a little dazed, and stretched out one hand to hold Xiaolan's chin.
Xiao Lan passively raised her head and met Zhao Bai's eyes full of affection.
She became panicked, quickly stepped back, and tried her best to break away from Zhao Bai's hand. She took a few steps back and whispered in a low voice: "General, please respect yourself."
Zhao Bai's hand hung there. After a while, he shook it off and raised a charming smile on his lips: "Little girl, one day, you will take the initiative to throw yourself into my arms."
Seeing the two people approaching, the cell leader cautiously greeted them.
"Master Qin, is there any harvest?"
Seeing Zhao Bai shaking his head, a trace of joy flashed across the cell leader's face, and he seemed to become relaxed.
Zhao Bai twitched the corner of his mouth, with a sneer on his face.
When the cell leader saw his smile, his whole body was as cold as if he had just crawled out of the ice cave, so he forcibly retracted the next words.
"General Zhao, what are you going to do with them?"
After leaving the prison, Xiaolan asked softly.
She also felt Zhao Bai's cold eyes just now.
"They have seriously neglected their duties. The key criminal in the guardianship actually committed suicide by taking poison right in front of their eyes. Will they still have a good life?"
Seeing that Xiaolan didn't speak, Zhao Bai said again: "You don't have to worry about the three of them. Like Qiying, they know what kind of fate they will have before they do anything, so even if they die, they will
I will die with peace of mind."
"General Zhao is not going to interrogate these three people to get some evidence?"
Zhao Bai laughed a few times: "Silly girl, do you think our opponent is so weak? These people, like the Seven Eagles, are just chess pieces that he plans to sacrifice. If they are used up and discarded, there is no need to interrogate them.
the value of."
Xiaolan stopped talking, but there were waves of cold waves in her heart.
When the birds are gone, the good dogs are cooked.
Everyone who is a chess piece knows his own value, so he will not complain about the injustice in the world.
Soon, the two returned to Qin Mansion.
Everyone in the house was already sleeping peacefully, only Qin An was dozing outside the yard. When he saw the two people coming back, he quickly opened the door for them.
"Uncle An, how many times have I told you that when we go out from now on, you can just leave the door ajar. There is no need to wait for us."
"Okay, it is also the steward's duty to guard the door for the master." Zhao Bai smiled slightly, turned to Qin An and said, "We just went to Wangxiang Tower, and we wanted to have a few drinks, but we met some ignorant people.
I gave him a quick call. Uncle An, it’s getting late, so go back to bed quickly.”
Qin An wanted to say something, but finally said nothing, lowered his head and left.
Zhao Bai was about to go to his room when he saw Xiaolan staring at him.
He then laughed: "Little girl, I am really tired tonight, and I am extremely hungry. Please go to the kitchen and help me make a bowl of porridge."
Xiaolan was such a smart person, she didn't say anything, just answered and walked to the kitchen.
Zhao Bai took out the piece of paper, unfolded it and put it on the table.
Then he exerted force with both hands, and the paper was affected by the force of his palms, revealing a bright red color.
Zhao Bai stared at the red letters on the paper that looked like blood and gritted his teeth.
As soon as the strength in his hand dropped, the red color dimmed.
He picked up the piece of paper and put it on the lamp.
The paper instantly turned into ashes, but there was a strange aroma in the air.
Xiaolan walked in with a bowl of porridge and saw Zhao Bai holding his forehead with one hand and half leaning on the couch.
"General, the porridge is here."
Only then did Zhao Bai raise his head.
Xiaolan could see that there was a lot of sadness in Zhao Bai's eyes.
She couldn't help but wonder about the piece of paper.
"General, what's on that paper?"
"Nothing." Zhao Bai stood up, sat down at the table, picked up a small spoon and was about to drink porridge. When he heard Xiaolan ask, he just replied lightly, "It's just a very ordinary piece of white paper."
Xiaolan didn't say anything anymore. How could she believe Zhao Bai's explanation?
But she knew that Zhao Bai would never mention this blank piece of paper again.
The secret that Zhao Bai doesn't want people to know will definitely become a dead secret. When the time comes, like this piece of paper, it will turn into ashes and disappear without a trace.
