"Oh? Is it true? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Because the two of us are not very sure about this folk remedy and don't know if it will work. So if we can't find the Platinum Tiger, we have no choice but to bite the bullet! It can be considered as a preparation with both hands! "
Xu Kang hurried forward and held both of their hands. He was extremely moved! "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"
Gongshan continued.
"Second Young Master, please don't be polite. It will take a long time. But for this kind of folk remedy, I can only carry out the first course of treatment. I need to let my master do the second course of treatment."
Xu Kang looked at Wang Xiao again, "Is there any difficulty?"
Wang Xiao grinned bitterly.
"The difficulty is that it requires some very strange medicinal materials. I don't know if you have any."
"Oh, what did I think? Just tell me. You don't have to worry about anything else!"
"Kekecao, Ma Sanjiao, Lingye Gener..." Wang Xiao made up a few names at random. "I don't think many people know these medicinal materials."
"Well, Second Young Master, you go and see if you can find it first. If you can't find it, tell me and I will go look for it myself!..."
——————
In Xu Youzhi's room in the City Lord's Mansion, there was a bottle of old wine and a few side dishes, and the father and son were having a drink.
"Dad, it was true that I was too impulsive last time, and I shouldn't have had that attitude with you in front of people outside. I'm sorry."
Xu Xiu raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Hey, the two of us have nothing to apologize for. It's over now."
Xu Youzhi also had a drink.
"How is your physical condition lately?"
"It's okay, it's fine!"
Xu Xiu was very sincere and raised his glass again.
"I understand the truth, and I also know that you won't really care about anything with me, but I just regret it. You said that you have been so good to me since childhood, how could I talk to you like that! Oh, I regret it!"
Xu Xiu was heartbroken and drank another cup.
"Okay, son, Dad is very satisfied with your attitude. At least it is much better than your two brothers. So far, the two of them have not come to apologize for the matter of surrounding the city lord's palace without authorization! Even Julien doesn't even have an explanation, this is really because I, Xu Youzhi, am old."
What Xu Xiu wanted was Xu Youzhi's idea. He didn't hold it in, and he was provoking it in every word.
"Actually, I have forgiven them for what happened to the boss and the second child. After all, it was me who touched their interests first, which is normal. As for the matter of coming to apologize, I don't think you should even think about it."
"Why don't you think about me? I am their father, I raised them! I gave them everything, rights, status, and life!"
"In their eyes, it should be my aunt who raised them."
Xu Xiu spoke very measuredly.
"In my eyes, it's not you who raised me, but my mother."
"After all, you are usually busy with official duties and have no time to accompany and take care of us. Basically, my childhood memories have nothing to do with you!"
When Xu Youzhi heard this, he immediately became unhappy. Just as he was about to refute, Xu Xiu changed the topic.
"Auntie has traveled all over the world with you and been loyal to you. Later she became seriously ill and became bedridden. You haven't visited her a few times in all these years, right? The boss and the second are both famous filial sons in Xiucheng. What do you think of their hearts? Are you willing to meet her? No matter what time or matter, no matter how you treat Auntie, Auntie will always defend you and excuse you! So the boss and the second child will feel sorry for her even more! Over time, resentment will definitely accumulate! Over time, she will accumulate resentment."
"What you mean is that you want me to leave your mother alone and stay with your aunt, right?"
"I definitely didn't mean that. I just analyze things fairly and impartially."
There is something in Xu Xiu's words.
"I have understood a truth since I was a child. Father's love and mother's love are different. You need to understand it. Some people can understand it, and some people can't understand it. So I think you should visit your aunt when you have nothing to do. Auntie is indeed a good woman. It’s not easy. Secondly, her living is a good thing for both of us! After all, she and you are always of the same mind. If one day, she is really gone. This matter Son."
When Xu Xiu said this, he didn't say anything further.
Xu Youzhi raised his head and glanced at Xu Xiu. He knew that there was some instigation in Xu Xiu's words, but it could not be denied that what Xu Xiu said was true!
Seeing Xu Youzhi start to think about it, obviously a little distracted, Xu Xiu put his left hand into his pocket, quietly picked up a small handful of powder, and raised the wine glass with his right hand, just blocking Xu Youzhi's left eye.
The powder in his hand was quietly sprinkled into Xu Youzhi's wine glass, he took the initiative to pick it up, shook it gently, and handed it to Xu Youzhi.
"Come on, dad, let's not say anything more. This third cup, we will do it!"
Xu Youzhi's mind was filled with what Xu Xiu had just said, and he didn't pay attention to anything else at all. The two of them drank it all in one gulp, and continued to talk, laugh, and talk. Everything they said next was just like the boss and the second child. It doesn't matter, Xu Xiu also drank one glass of wine after another.
More than half an hour passed. The effects of the medicine began to take effect, Xu Youzhi's head felt dizzy, and he shook his head.
"What kind of wine is this? It's so strong."
After saying that, Xu Youzhi's eyes darkened and he fainted.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Xiu touched Xu Youzhi.
"Dad? Hey, Dad! Why do you drink so much so easily?"
After calling several times, Xu Xiu found that Xu Youzhi had no response. Xu Xiu turned around and took out a pair of stamps from his backpack, placed Xu Youzhi's left and right hands on the stamps, and copied the palm fingerprints.
Then he wandered around Xu Youzhi's room. Over the years, he had already identified several suspicious locations. After tinkering for a while, he found a very secret secret pavilion.
Tried entering the hidden password three times successfully.
There is a palm-sized solid gold key in the secret compartment. The structure of the key is extremely complex, with rings, teeth, and ruggedness. There is a strict layout on the front and back.
Playing with the keys in his hand, he rummaged around the room to make sure there was nothing else of value, reset everything, and put Xu Youzhi to bed.
He stood in front of the bookcase and pulled out each book one by one. Soon, the bookcase moved slowly, and a coded door appeared directly in front of him.
Xu Xiu tried to enter the password just now and easily opened the door. Directly in front of him was a long and narrow endless corridor with an elevator at the end.
After stepping out of the elevator, you are already on the third underground floor. Not far ahead is a security door comparable to a bank vault. Palm shape, fingerprint, password.
Behind three security lines. A lock is pushed out of the middle area of the security door. This is a two-layer, two-level lock. The first lock needs to be opened with one end of the golden key, and the second lock needs to be opened with the other end of the golden key. The sequence cannot be wrong, otherwise it will be Directly locked.
This made Xu Xiu a little confused. He stared at the keyhole for a long time, but couldn't figure out which side to use first. In the end, he simply thought that there was a 50% chance that if he tried hard, he would be exposed in the worst case. .
Fortunately, with good luck, Xu Xiu made the right bet and the security door slowly opened. Directly in front is an extremely spacious hall with surveillance lines everywhere and at least thousands of monitors.
There are busy workers everywhere.
Because this area is very secretive and not the main entrance, it did not attract too many people's attention.
This was Xu Xiu's first time entering Xiuwang headquarters. He walked around and looked around.
About a few minutes later, a middle-aged man that Xu Xiu had never seen before trotted over. He was surprised, confused, and very enthusiastic.
"Little City Lord, why are you here by yourself? Where is the Old City Lord?"
The man was about 1.7 meters tall, had a crew cut, and was very energetic. When he noticed Xu Xiu staring at him in surprise, he quickly smiled and introduced himself.
"My name is Zhang Miao, and I am the person in charge of the Xiuwang headquarters base."
"My dad has something on his hands, so let me come over here by myself. You can help me get familiar with this place."
Xu Youzhi had already handed over 30% of the embroidery nets to Xu Xiu, and everyone in Xiu City knew that Xu Youzhi supported Xu Xiu and had just completely let go of the judicial and security system. Therefore, Zhang Miao did not become suspicious.
He enthusiastically took Xu Xiu around from the Xiuwang headquarters base. He was enthusiastic and thoughtful and answered all Xu Xiu's questions. Xu Xiu listened carefully and even made a big cake for Zhang Miao at every turn.
Zhang Miao became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
A few hours later, Xu Xiu was almost done, and he and Zhang Miao entered the office next door. Without any airs, he took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Zhang Miao.
"Uncle Zhang, it's like this. My father has planned to completely hand over the embroidery network to me. He asked me to re-examine all the candidates for the main positions. I gradually over-controlled the embroidery network."
"So I need a copy of the information on all the people responsible for key positions. Is this okay?"
When Zhang Miao heard this, he was obviously hesitant. Xu Xiu had also been prepared. He took out the City Lord's Golden Order that he had prepared in advance and placed it in front of Zhang Miao.
"Your position will definitely not change. No matter how much you embroider the net, no one can replace you! Also, we will definitely have more time to deal with each other in the future. For the convenience of you and me, I give this to you!"
Zhang Miao's eyes widened in an instant, with a look of disbelief on his face. This was no ordinary Jin Ling, this was the City Lord Jin Ling who represented the highest authority in Xiu City! With this golden token in hand, you can not only enter and leave any area of the city lord's mansion at will! You can also perform the city lord's authority on behalf of the city lord when the city lord is away!
He had followed Xu Youzhi for so many years, and Xu Youzhi had never given him the city lord's golden order. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiu gave it to him when he came up. This not only represents supreme power, but also unparalleled trust!
Zhang Miao was so excited that her body trembled slightly, and she was speechless for a long time.
Xu Xiu patted his shoulder.
"As a person, I, Xu Xiu, have always been trustworthy in employing people and not trusting others. I believe that since I trust you so much, you will not let me down, right?"
Zhang Miao picked up the token, her eyes were red, and she almost knelt down in front of Xu Xiu with every word.
"I, Zhang Miao, swear to God that I will do my best to serve the little city lord!"
