After the little book boy was kicked, he was frightened. He raised his head and found that the person standing in front of him was Zhou Yiming, so he asked with some surprise: "Master, didn't you go to rest a long time ago? Why did you go through such a long time?" Will you get up again after a while?"
Zhou Yiming's mind was in the study, so he was too lazy to answer the little book boy's questions. He just urged: "Don't ask so many questions, little brat. Go to the room and report."
"Oh." The little book boy agreed softly, stood up quickly, and ran into the study room.
Zhou Yiming stood at the door of the study, listening carefully to the movements in the study, for fear that the uninvited guests inside would do something terrible after learning that he had arrived.
Not long after the little book boy entered the study, there was a conversation inside.
"Master, the young master is asking to see you outside the door. Please let me pass the message."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Ruhai's voice said: "Let him in quickly, there is a guest here who is looking for him."
Then the little bookboy's reply was inaudible, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps.
Zhou Ming tidied his clothes and became alert.
After the little book boy came out of the study, he said with a smile on his face: "Young master, I have finished the matters that I have passed on to you. The master asked you to come in. There happens to be a guest in the study who wants to ask you something."
The little book boy wanted to say something more, but Zhou Yiming raised his hand to stop him: "I understand. Let me ask you, what are the guests in the study dressed like? Who do they look like?"
Seeing Zhou Yiming asking this question, the little book boy was in trouble. After all, he was only in his teens and grew up in the Zhou family. He had never seen much of the world and had no understanding of outside things. He wanted him to describe that The physical characteristics and identity of the guest are indeed a bit overwhelming.
"Master, you really asked me. I can only tell you that the guest doesn't look very good, and he is wearing black clothes. He looks very expensive. He must be from a wealthy family.
Apart from that, I can't see any other information. "
After the little book boy said these words, he lowered his head with some remorse. Although he was young, he still knew very well about Yi Ming's family status at home. It was easy for his young master to make use of him. As a result, But he is so useless, he can't even figure out such a simple question.
Zhou Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the questions he had asked the little book boy just now were actually a bit stupid. On the one hand, the child was young and not very sensible. On the other hand, even if the little book boy had more knowledge, It is impossible to tell who the uninvited guest is just based on appearance. Not to mention him, not even Yi Ming himself may have this ability.
"Okay, I don't blame you for not being able to answer my question. Just stay on guard here. If you hear any big noise coming from the study, you must be smart and notify the young mistress in the backyard immediately. Just say what I said, let the young mistress take the old lady out for some fun and don't come back for a while." Before Zhou Ming entered the study, he had already prepared for the worst, so he specifically told the little book boy, He hoped that after the accident, he could quickly let Lin Ajiao take his old mother to escape. After all, if he was not the opponent of the uninvited guest, even if Lin Ajiao came, he would only be killed.
Instead of wiping out the entire army, it would be better for Lin Ajiao to take advantage of the fight between herself and the evil thief and quickly escape with her mother.
The little book boy didn't understand Yi Ming's good intentions, so he stared at him and said timidly: "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just remember what I say." Zhou Ming suddenly straightened his face and said seriously.
The little book boy was frightened for a moment, and nodded quickly as an agreement.
Zhou Yiming no longer hesitated. He left the little book boy behind and walked into the study room with firm steps. With every step he took, he was fully prepared and always ready to face powerful enemies.
This study room is exclusively used by Zhou Ruhai. Because he always studies in the study room until very late at night, the light in the room is very sufficient.
As soon as Zhou Ming entered the door, he found that his father was sitting very reservedly at the table. On the other side of the table, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a small pimple under his nose. With his beard and sharp eyes, he is a smart person at first glance.
What he was wearing was the same as the description of the little book boy outside the house. He was dressed in black clothes. Even the hat on his head was dark black. If it weren't for the bright lights in the study, he would have been hiding in the house. In the shadow, it would be difficult for a person without martial arts cultivation to detect his presence with the naked eye.
Moreover, Zhou Ming found out through this person's aura that he was a martial arts practitioner. As for the level of martial arts cultivation, Zhou Yi Ming couldn't tell for a while. This was not because he was not good at martial arts, but because it was possible that this person Deliberately hiding his own strength.
Zhou Yiming couldn't help but think to himself that the origins behind this man must be very complicated. The reason why he wore black clothes must be to facilitate movement at night. Because of this, the purpose of his visit this time was definitely not simple.
Although this uninvited guest was chatting with Zhou Ruhai on the surface, his attention was always on the door of the study. He had already discovered it as soon as Yi Ming entered the study.
After seeing Yi Ming, his whole body immediately tensed up, and a strange light appeared in his eyes, as if he was ready to attack Yi Ming at any time.
Such momentum made Zhou Ming dare not neglect him. While walking, he paused for a moment, then mobilized his energy and prepared to fight.
Just after Zhou Ming was fully prepared, he suddenly discovered that the uninvited guest stopped taking action after his eyes flashed. This made Zhou Ming feel confused for a moment.
Was my guess just now wrong? This guy doesn't have any ill intentions toward me?
Although he had such thoughts in his mind, Zhou Ming still did not relax at all. He walked firmly to the middle of the room. During this process, he remained silent and never took his eyes away from the uninvited guest.
Zhou Ruhai sat on a chair and chatted with the uninvited guest for a long time. At this time, he was almost out of words, but out of politeness, he did not show any impatience.
In fact, after the servants at home informed him just now that a group of uninvited guests came outside the door of his home, he felt a little uneasy. After all, his son had made such great achievements last night. If he returned to the capital, he would still be there. If there are accomplices of the Northern Thief, they will definitely not let their son go easily, and will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate. The group of unknown people coming to the gate are probably the accomplices of the Northern Thief.
After thinking of this possibility, Zhou Ruhai was extremely scared. He wanted to send someone to call Zhou Yi immediately so that he could solve the predicament at hand.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so, because although Zhou Yiming was the most powerful person in the family at the moment, he, as the father, couldn't blame everything on him. After all, he was still a family member. Lord, you can't act so cowardly. You should also act braver when your son is not around. Otherwise, if things go on like this, your family will only look down on you even more and be disrespectful to you.
After thinking about this, Zhou Ruhai cheered up and immediately asked the person who came back to report how the group outside the gate behaved and whether they looked like bad people on the surface.
As a result, the person who came in to inform Zhou Ruhai told Zhou Ruhai that this group of uninvited guests did not look like bad people in appearance, and they also paid great attention to etiquette when talking to the servants in the house.
After learning the news, Zhou Ruhai felt reassured, because as a scholar, he knew very well that people who were very polite when talking to the servants in the family, even if they were bad people, could not be that bad.
After figuring this out, Zhou Ruhai immediately took people out to see the situation.
As a result, he briefly exchanged a few words with the group and realized that the group just came to the house to deal with some matters with Zhou Ming, and they had no ill intentions.
Zhou Ruhai relaxed all of a sudden. He even told the group that his son had already rested early and that if they had anything to say, they could just tell him.
He originally thought that if he did this in a low-key manner, the other party would definitely be grateful, and then leave the matters they mentioned to him to handle.
But it was obvious that he was overthinking. When those people heard his thoughts, they immediately showed embarrassment and said that only Yi Ming could handle the things they wanted to do. Even if he was Yi Ming's father, he could not do it for him.
After this group of uninvited guests expressed this intention, Zhou Ruhai was very angry. After all, this group of people rejected his kindness in front of everyone, which made him very embarrassed.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to get angry and drive these people away, but considering that his son is now on the rise in his career, if he offends this group of people for no reason, he is likely to cause trouble for his son. After all, there are many people behind them. I still don’t know anything about the background.
And the more important point is that just now he has been hot-tempered but cold-hearted. If he gets angry at this time, he will inevitably be criticized by others. If people think that he is narrow-minded and intolerant of others, the gain will outweigh the losses.
Based on the above considerations, even in the embarrassing situation, Zhou Ruhai still breathed a sigh of relief. He invited the leader of the group to the house, brought him to the study, kept him company in person, and then ordered the people at home Servants, hurry up and call Monday.
While accompanying this uninvited guest, Zhou Ruhai talked casually while thinking repeatedly in his mind, who sent this uninvited guest?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer.
