Chapter 14
"Sister Xie, do you think there is any way to put poison into coffee so that people can be poisoned to death without being caught?" Su Jianxia sat on a stool behind the bar and said seriously. asked.
Sister Xie's hand that was mixing coffee trembled, and some of the coffee she was about to mix spilled on the table. She quickly reached out and touched the rag on the side to wipe away the water stains on the bar.
"Xia Xia, this Miss Xu should be here for the third time today, and she didn't talk to the boss much, so there is no need to poison her directly." Sister Xie adjusted her glasses frame, He glanced at Xu Chenxi sitting in the hall.
Today was also a working day, but she seemed to have brought some work documents with her. After ordering a cup of coffee, she started flipping through the documents in her hand at her seat.
"It's important to be on guard against others. I didn't have a good impression of this person from the first day she came here. As expected, you see, I've been running here every day for the past three days, and my uncle doesn't even want to see her, so he can't tell. Isn't that a tip of the hat?" Su Jianxia said angrily.
Seeing that Su Jianxia was getting more and more excited, Sister Xie quickly put her middle finger to her mouth and said, "Hey, my sister-in-law, please keep your voice down. She is a guest after all, and she didn't take the initiative to hook up with her. Boss."
"What's wrong with the customer? There aren't many customers in the store. A cup of coffee costs more than 20 yuan. One more or one less won't make any difference." Su Jian Xia Yi glared, "No, I have to talk to her. From now on What a big deal it is to come here every day."
After saying that, Su Jianxia reached out and took the coffee from Sister Xie's hand, put it into a tray and walked towards Xu Chenxi. Sister Xie, who was completely ignoring her behind her, shouted in a low voice: "I haven't finished adjusting yet! Come back first!"
"Ms. Xu, the coffee you asked for is ready."
Just as Xu Chenxi said "hmm", she heard a crisp sound of something hitting the table, and then a few drops of cold liquid fell on her hand.
Xu Chenxi frowned and raised her head just in time to meet Su Jianxia's condescending face and unkind eyes. Then she looked at the tray in her hand and the spilled coffee, and she understood something in her heart.
"Miss Su, do you have a problem with me?" Xu Chenxi naturally picked up the coffee and took a sip, then froze in place.
It was served before I even had a chance to add water?
Su Jianxia held back her laughter and said expressionlessly: "Miss Xu, what are you talking about? You are the only customer in the store, how dare I have an opinion against you."
Xu Chenxi put down her coffee, took out a piece of paper and wiped the water stains on her hands, "Then what do you want to say to me, Miss Su?"
Su Jianxia opened the chair opposite and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Ms. Xu has been coming to the store to drink coffee every day for the past three days. Could it be that she has a crush on my uncle?"
"We don't rule out this possibility." Xu Chenxi nodded seriously.
Su Jian Xia Yi frowned, "That's the day you talked the most on the blind date, right? You haven't spoken more than ten words in the past three days. Why do you fall in love with him? Do you know him? It can't be just because he is good-looking. Well, if you open a store, it looks like you’ll have some money, right?”
"There are many good-looking and rich people chasing me, some who look like Korean celebrities, and some who drive Ferraris and Lamborghinis to my downstairs. If I were looking for these two things, I wouldn't be single now. .”
"Then what are you interested in him? You don't have any abnormal thoughts, do you?" Su Jianxia immediately became alert.
"I just think he is very interesting. Unlike those men who come to see me every day and pretend to like me very much, he seems to have no interest in me at all, and even... Avoid me." Xu Chenxi described.
"What's wrong with you, that you just like people who are not interested in you?"
Xu Chenxi shook his head, "It's not just because of this. What about you, weren't you adopted by him? Logically speaking, you should be in a relationship between guardian and ward. With such a big age gap, why would you still fall in love with him?"
"It's up to you to take care of him!" Su Jianxia glared: "To tell you the truth, it's useless to squat every day. Haven't you noticed that he is not interested in you? He will avoid you every time he sees you."
"I can see it, but so what. It was like this in the beginning. Maybe he will be interested if I come here a few more times, and then after getting along with me, he will feel that we are a good match, and we will fall in love and get married smoothly." Xu Chenxi looked at Looking at the increasingly angry girl opposite, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
Su Jianxia took a deep breath and was just about to start "preaching" to the other party using the vocabulary she had prepared, when a thin man outside the door opened the door and came in, calling "Miss Su" from a distance.
When he stepped forward, Hu Shouyu felt that the atmosphere between the two women was tense. As a middle-aged man who had been married for many years and was familiar with female psychology, he immediately realized what the problem was between the two, and he couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere between the two women was tense. He took a few steps back.
"You guys talk first...we'll talk after we finish talking." Hu Shouyu carefully retreated to a table in the corner of the hall and sat down. He relaxed after feeling that he was far away from the tense atmosphere.
Being interrupted by Hu Shouyu, Su Jianxia suddenly couldn't remember the manuscript he had prepared long ago. After sitting there for a while, he glared at Xu Chenxi angrily and turned around to go upstairs.
"she left?"
In the room on the second floor, Wei Ziqi was lying on a crystal clear emerald recliner, shaking the recliner with his eyes closed. He also held a bamboo leaf fan popular in rural areas more than ten years ago in his right hand and fanned it gently. With.
"No, she's still sitting downstairs. She said she wanted to come every day so that you can fall in love with her for a long time." Su Jianxia rolled her eyes, "I didn't realize that Mr. Wei's personal charm is so great. Ferrari, who looks like a Korean star, can't stand this guy named Xu, but you are fascinated by her. She comes to you so proactively every day. The recent performance of the store depends entirely on her more than 20 yuan a day. "
"Why does your tone sound so wrong?" Wei Ziqi felt a little flustered for no reason.
"How could it be possible? Oh, by the way, it must be because she is not as dignified and knowledgeable as Miss Xu." Su Jianxia walked up to Wei Ziqi and sat on a log stool made of the same texture, with an evil look in his eyes. Look at the man in front of you.
Wei Ziqi was a little nervous, sat up from the recliner, and quickly defended: "I am really not interested in her at all, otherwise I would not go down to see her, and I am so relieved to let you come forward to solve the problem. , doesn’t this show my attitude?”
"You still have an attitude. I thought you didn't refuse anyone who came." Su Jianxia said with a strange tone.
"What are you saying? Let her go, you must let him go!" Wei Ziqi looked serious.
"You'd better really think so." Su Jianxia hammered the table lightly, "By the way, Hu Shouyu is here. The family affairs must have been arranged. Today is the second day."
Wei Ziqi looked at the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall. The time stopped at ten twenty-three. "It's quite early, but it's just right. I can still make it in time for lunch."
"I won't run into her when I go down, right?" Wei Ziqi suddenly reacted.
Su Jianxia sneered and said, "I'm sitting in the hall downstairs. I have a wide view and face the stairs. What's going on? You jumped from the second floor?"
"It's not impossible." Wei Ziqi thought seriously, "You take Hu Shouyu and get in the car first. I'll be there in a moment."
"Oh, I didn't expect that one day there would be a woman that Mr. Wei wanted to avoid." Su Jianxia gave Wei Ziqi a middle finger and jumped up and ran out without waiting for his reply.
Walking downstairs, Hu Shouyu was still sitting in the corner, looking around from time to time, looking a little nervous.
Xu Chenxi glanced behind her after hearing the footsteps, and found that she had gone downstairs alone. Her eyes were a little disappointed, but she quickly disappeared. She lowered her head and continued to look at the documents in her hand.
"Come with me." Su Jianxia walked up to Hu Shouyu and knocked on the table.
"Ah, okay, won't Mr. Wei come with us?" Hu Shouyu looked around, but did not see Wei Ziqi's figure.
Su Jianxia glanced at Xu Chenxi calmly. She didn't seem to be paying attention. "He will be here soon. Let's go there first."
"Okay, okay." Hu Shouyu also looked at Xu Chenxi's reaction, and then realized that he shouldn't ask it in person.
Su Jianxia walked to the bar, took out the car keys from the drawer, and patted Sister Xie on the shoulder, who was watching a TV show, "Sister Xie, I'm going out. You can just lock the door when you get off work at night."
"Don't worry." Sister Xie waved her hand without looking back. In the past few years of working here, it often happened that the two bosses would go out and not come back. She had long been accustomed to closing the door after get off work.
"That woman, don't let her go upstairs!" Su saw Xia Gang was about to leave. When he saw Xu Chenxi looking over, he quickly turned around and warned her.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Sister Xie replied casually.
Su Jianxia sighed. He must have been too excited to watch the drama and didn't listen.
After taking Hu Shouyu out and walking to the door on the side of Chaoge, Su Jianxia pressed the key in his hand, and the door slowly rose, revealing the black Audi inside.
Hu Shouyu always thought that the shop next to Chaoge was just closed, but he didn't expect it to be a private garage.
"Mr. Wei must have a lot of personal assets. There are two two-story stores on this street where land is at a premium, and the rent alone is approaching five million a year. This coffee shop looks like … It’s really not very profitable.”
"I'm not sure about this, but I'm really not short of money." Su Jianxia put on her sunglasses and pulled out the driver's seat, "You can sit in the back, uncle will be here soon."
"Okay." Hu Shouyu nodded and opened the rear door.
The Audi started very quickly. Su Jianxia skillfully shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel. The car drove towards the less crowded direction of Fusu Road, so that when leaving, she didn't even notice that behind her, she opened the door to the song gate and came out. woman.
Su Jianxia drives very fast. She looks young, but she seems to be more skilled at driving than a veteran driver who has been driving for many years. She controls the gaps between cars very accurately and can always drive without falling. Passing other vehicles at high speed.
The two people drove all the way to the south of Jiangning City, the speed of the car has been stable at about 1,670 yards. It stands to reason that such a speed would have been targeted by the traffic police in Jiangning, but until they left the city, not even a police car No shadow was seen.
"Miss Su, is the expert we want to meet also in Jiangning?" Hu Shouyu asked, resisting a strong push.
"Yes." Su Jianxia nodded.
"If the blood contract is canceled, will I die?" Hu Shouyu hesitated and asked.
"I can't tell. You'll have to see the person to find out." came a cold male voice from the passenger seat.
Hu Shouyu was stunned, "Mr. Wei, when did you..."
The car kept driving at a high speed, and he was still in the car. He didn't notice when there was an extra person.
"Have you brought the jade statue with you?" Wei Ziqi asked.
"Take it with you." Hu Shouyu quickly took out the jade statue from his bag.
When I saw it last week, only the lower half was soaked with blood-like red liquid. Now when I took it out, the red color had penetrated into the head of the jade statue, and only the upper half of the face was still crystal white.
"What would happen to me if all this jade statue was dyed red?" Hu Shouyu asked cautiously.
Wei Ziqi glanced at the jade statue in the rearview mirror and did not answer.
After driving another forty or fifty kilometers to the south, the car stopped in front of a large mountain in the suburbs.
Hu Shouyu put away the jade statue, got out of the car with the two of them, and looked at the mountains in front of him.
This mountain seems to be called Yinshan. In the early years, I passed by it several times when I wanted to go to the tomb in person. From the perspective of Feng Shui, this mountain did not look like there was a big tomb hidden in it, so Hu Shouyu and his family People have never gone into the mountains to explore.
But when I rested here a few times, I heard from nearby villagers that the reason why Yinshan Mountain is called Yinshan Mountain is because there is an unworldly master living in seclusion in the mountain. But when I asked about the origin and appearance of this master, But no one has seen it.
Hu Shouyu had heard of such folk rumors, and it didn't matter whether he had an expert or not, so he didn't take it seriously. It was only when he followed Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia here today that he remembered that he was here before Rumors I've heard.
"Mr. Wei, this mountain doesn't look like it can be inhabited." Hu Shouyu said cautiously.
Judging from his years of working experience in various deep mountains, Hidden Mountain will only be covered by countless trees and vegetation, and there are many wolves and wild beasts hidden among them. If someone can live on this mountain, it will cost at least It took five or six years to clear a clearing for myself, and I had to always be on guard against the intrusion of wild beasts.
In addition, if you don't go down the mountain, you have to consider water sources, crop planting and other issues, which are all big troubles. Is that expert so leisurely?
"He doesn't live in the mountains." Wei Ziqi said calmly.
Um? Don’t live in the mountains? Do you live at the foot of the mountain?
Hu Shouyu had some doubts in his heart, but when he saw Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia walking towards a certain place at the foot of the mountain, he didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed them. After all, he had to rely on the two of them to save his life, so it was okay to ask too many questions. not good.
Wei Ziqi first looked up at the sun in the sky. It was now past eleven o'clock in the morning, and the sun quickly reached the top of his head. Looking at the place where the sunlight was shining, Wei Ziqi stretched out his hand and drew a complicated pattern in the air. symbol.
After the symbols were drawn, the sunlight above the three people's heads suddenly changed direction and slowly moved away from the mountain. As the sunlight moved away, the hidden mountain in front of the three people was like a painting, which was drawn open by the owner. paper, revealing the true face behind it.
A winding mountain road climbs from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain. Although there are trees on both sides of the road, they are not as complicated as the original trees in Yinshan Mountain, but are thick sycamore trees.
Different from the common sycamore trees on the street, each of the sycamore trees here is probably more than a hundred meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, which can truly be regarded as blocking out the sky and the sun. In this summer when the sun shines brightly, the mountain road in front of you is also covered. It was completely covered by the shade of trees, and there was no sunlight on the road.
"Is this the true face of this mountain?" Not to mention Hu Shouyu who stayed where he was, even Su Jianxia, after staying in Jiangning for so many years, saw a hidden mountain with its disguise removed for the first time.
"It is an independent space." Wei Ziqi explained: "My friend and his... family members don't like the changes and changes in the world today. They still live in the existing space. It is inevitable. He would be bothered by the world, so he carved out an independent space here. Although it exists in this place, no one will ever find it."
Su Jianxia thought for a moment and then remembered that the "family members" Wei Ziqi mentioned were his friend's seven wives.
Just as Wei Ziqi was about to take the lead up the mountain, a cough suddenly came from behind the three of them.
