The guy holding his granddaughter across from him seemed to be a relatively naive type at first glance, and he was obviously an outsider.
York Shihuaiya thought that he was not so blinded by old age that he was completely unaware of the other party's stupid reaction just now.
He believed that the real third party force should be the three more professional women behind the opponent.
These people snatched his granddaughter from the original kidnapper, and now they came to the door again. They were probably preparing to ask for something from him, or to make a secret deal.
At this time, old man Shihuaiya was actually ready to compromise and negotiate, but he did not intend to show the kind of weakness he would show after being threatened.
As the head of a big family, he has to show his toughness to the outside world, so as not to let those guys in the darkness think that the people of their Shihuaiya family are just walking banknotes, and they can easily kidnap them. Get a lot of wealth and leave peacefully!
"I will count to three. If you don't let go of my granddaughter, I will let you be buried with my granddaughter."
"Master Shihuaiya, Miss Beatrix is still over there, you should think twice."
The old housekeeper who had served the Shiyahuai family for many years quickly persuaded him from the side.
"Butler, this..."
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Don't you see that the situation is difficult now?"
The company manager who had just met with Xinsir yesterday wanted to come forward and say something many times.
But they were all impatiently reprimanded by the old housekeeper beside Mr. Shi Huaiya.
He could only shrink his neck a little aggrievedly, stood aside, and no longer dared to interrupt.
"Don't stop me, our Shihuaiya family would rather die than surrender..."
"But we didn't kidnap her either!"
Wu Ke explained.
"Grandpa, he's right!"
Beatrix also shouted to the old man.
"We in the Shihuaiya family can only live while standing, without... Wait, what did you just say?"
Mr. Shi Huaiya, who was performing a double act with the old housekeeper to show the integrity of his family, stopped and looked at his innocent granddaughter with a pair of tiger eyes.
"Grandpa, I was not kidnapped. In fact, it was the SB captain who saved me from the kidnappers."
Beatrix said, pointing to the boy holding her.
Mr. Shi Huaiya looked over, Wu Ke raised his head, and then nodded slightly to the old man.
"What about the three at the back?"
"We are operators of Black Steel International. We are currently serving as Miss Zinsir's bodyguards and are employed by her."
Razer's representative Franka explained to Mr. Shihuaiya, and Mr. Shihuaiya looked at Xinxier in the middle.
Xinxier quickly took out his work permit from his pocket and introduced himself: "I am a senior technician at Environmental Optimization Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Swire Group. I am Xinxier Melina from the Sakaz tribe. This is It's my work permit, and I contacted the foreign affairs officer at the head office yesterday."
The manager who was standing aside after being scolded and shrinking his neck stood up and testified: "It is indeed true. This lady from the Sakaz tribe came to the head office yesterday morning and said that she brought it to her. I got a big client and needed to talk to you personally, and I was severely reprimanded by you for it.”
"And this is the big customer I'm talking about, the SB captain from the northern border of Ursus, Mr. Wu Ke."
Xinxier pointed at Wu Ke and introduced Mr. Shihuaiya in more reserved words.
York Shihuaiya: "..."
After listening around, he discovered that the Sakaz women who seemed to be mercenaries were actually employees of a subsidiary of the Swire Group. In other words, they were his employees.
And the two women who he thought were senior combatants were indeed senior combatants, but they were employees hired by his employees-the bodyguards of Black Steel International.
As for the young man who looks a bit silly, he is actually the benefactor who saved his granddaughter, and he is also a big customer brought here by his employees. It seems that he was turned away yesterday!
This... After doing this for a long time, the clown turned out to be himself? !
"Shi Huaiya's boss, should we put down the gun or not?"
The captain of the armed forces next to him asked.
Mr. Shi Huaiya was still a little hesitant. He was well aware of the despicability of shopping malls, and he was a little worried, wondering whether his granddaughter had been deceived or threatened.
At this moment, Beatrix on the opposite side was put down by Wu Ke. He quickly ran past the armed group and came to him, wagging his black and yellow striped tail, and hugged him all at once. his legs.
"Grandpa, Beatrix misses you so much."
The granddaughter rushed and hugged her in a coquettish way, which made Mr. Shi Huaiya take a breath. Which old man can withstand this kind of cuddling from his younger generation?
You know, usually he wanted to be strict with his granddaughter, but she used this skillful trick of being cute and made him lose his temper.
At this time, even if he wanted to keep a straight face, he couldn't help his body. He had different thoughts, so he bent down, stretched out his hand, and hugged the girl's back.
"My little Shihuaiya, my grandfather misses you very much and is very worried about your safety."
What else is there to say?
"Put your guns down, everyone!"
The old housekeeper was very capable of being close to the old man, and promptly asked the members of the surrounding armed forces to put down their guns.
This prevented Mr. Shi Huaiya from having to embarrass the people around him to put down their guns after he straightened up after holding his granddaughter.
"Koz, take a few guests into the VIP room and prepare top-notch snacks and tea. I want to entertain them."
The old housekeeper obeyed the order and called the company's stewards to lead Wu Ke and others upstairs to a luxuriously decorated room. It didn't take long for the dedicated staff to bring tea and snacks. Each snack was very delicious. It’s exquisite, and you can tell it’s expensive at first glance.
Mr. Shi Huaiya followed behind, and Wu Ke could hear him confirming something with his granddaughter Beatrix.
for example,
How was he rescued?
Where did you go after being rescued?
Why don't you go home immediately?
Wait for these questions.
Big Cat Girl answered these questions one by one.
When I heard Beatrix saying that she wanted to sleep after eating, she still slept in the group hotel next to the group headquarters building.
Mr. Shi Huaiya's face was extremely exciting. After all, he was still contacting the underworld people from the Rat King last night to clean up and investigate the places outside Longmen that might harbor dirt.
As a result, my granddaughter fell asleep in the hotel of her own group, and after waking up, she went to the night market stalls and ate a full stomach.
However, the fact that the granddaughter was not injured in this kidnapping incident is the best outcome.
After entering the room, the guests and hosts were seated on both sides.
"First of all, I must thank you for your help to the Shihuaiya family."
Mr. Shihuaiya thanked him and said.
"But I still have some questions about my granddaughter's rescue. I hope you can answer them for me."
Mr. Shi Huaiya looked calmly at Wu Ke, who was sitting directly opposite.
"This old man, feel free to ask, as long as I know and can answer it, I will answer you truthfully."
Wu Ke behaved very appropriately and politely.
"The first question is, how did you know about my granddaughter's kidnapping? If you are correct, this should have been a secret before those media organizations reported it randomly yesterday afternoon."
Yesterday, what the kidnappers sent to various TV stations and newspapers was reported in the afternoon.
What was also reported incidentally was the story of the newly established Longmen Guard Bureau arresting kidnappers with lightning speed.
Of course, there was an act of manipulating public opinion to gain reputation, and there was no detailed report on the fact that the kidnappers had actually been subdued by others before they were arrested.
"The second question is that my granddaughter was kidnapped for several days. During this period, I never gave up searching for her whereabouts. I used both black and white forces to hunt her down. However, it was only yesterday morning that I got the kidnapper to hide in Xue. Information about the area, but not the specific location yet.
Please tell me, how did you know the specific location of the kidnappers faster than me? "
The old housekeeper stood faintly in front of his master.
Razer on the opposite side saw the pace and posture he was using, and touched Franka next to him with his elbow.
The two bodyguards made eye contact, and Franka nodded in confirmation and said softly: "I have encountered Sargon's assassination step before, and those who use this kind of step are best at short-distance sudden attacks. When the attack broke out, he should have hidden a weapon such as a dagger in his right sleeve attached to his trouser leg."
"The little girl is not very old, but she is very experienced in combat."
The old butler was a little surprised, but he was not worried about the skills he used being seen. He was a former master before he was recruited by the Shihuaiya family to become a butler.
And at such a close distance, it is estimated that only the guards who often follow the Longmen governor can withstand his attack.
Ordinary people are not taken seriously by him.
"First fight, then etiquette, then fight. What kind of trouble are you trying to make? Are you making a matryoshka doll?"
Xinxier subconsciously distanced herself some distance. Although she had never seen Wu Ke take action, she did not feel that a young man who could fly with a group of people would be threatened by the old housekeeper who was posing in a strange posture opposite.
Well, she was mainly afraid of being affected by the fish pond.
Faced with this situation, Wu Ke also scratched his head.
"Are you worried that I'm with those kidnappers?"
"It's not impossible, is it?"
Mr. Shi Huaiya spoke frankly.
Beatrix in his arms wanted to say something, but he raised his hand to stop her.
"But didn't I tie up those kidnappers and let the security officers here take them away? If I were with them, there should be no reason for me to do this."
"That's indeed the case. However, it doesn't explain anything. Maybe you were sent by a third-party force, or maybe the kidnappers were just sent out, and maybe they were cannon fodder who sacrificed themselves in exchange for trust."
After a pause, Mr. Shi Huaiya continued: "You have to provide some more evidence to prove yourself.
Otherwise, I have to control you first, and then I will apologize to you after I investigate the situation clearly and confirm that you are innocent.
Of course, if you are not innocent, then I can only say that you are not lucky! "
Mr. Shi Huaiya's words are well-founded, thoughtful and convincing.
"I can say that my hearing is relatively good. After I came here yesterday morning, I happened to hear you and a person named Wei Yanwu talking about the topic.
Then, according to your description, did you find the kidnappers who kidnapped your granddaughter on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Streets in the East City? "
Wu Ke pointed to his ear and asked the old man Shi Huaiya opposite him. At the same time, he also imitated the conversation he heard yesterday morning between the other party and others, and said some of the words he said at that time in the tone of the other party's conversation.
"Did you monitor my room?"
Mr. Shi Huaiya's eyes widened.
"No, I heard it outside, in the hotel."
Wu Ke explained.
"Nonsense. The highest room in the hotel is at least several hundred meters away from here in a straight line. If you hear the sound here from a distance of several hundred meters, do you think I'm a fool?"
Mr. Shi Huaiya obviously didn't believe it, and this reaction was the reaction of a truly normal person.
"I am SB, my common name is the underage superman. Isn't it normal to have superhuman hearing?
Well, it seems that you don’t believe it, so let me prove that my hearing is amazing.
Well, for example, right behind that big screen in this room, there are the breaths of two people.
Oh oh oh, they heard what I said, and their breathing was stagnant just now. "
Wu Ke waved his hand towards the big screen.
"I heard everything, so stop hiding and come out."
Mr. Shi Huaiya twitched the corner of his mouth and clapped his hands. Two people in black tights walked out. The sound of footsteps and breathing could not be heard at all. They were completely silent.
"A ninja from the Eastern Kingdom?"
Franka recognized them. These guys were not common in the Victoria area, but in the world of assassination, the ninjas of the Eastern Kingdom were as famous as Sargon's assassins, but because they appeared less often, they appeared more mystery.
"Okay, you can hear the presence of the secret guard I placed in the room, which means that you do have good hearing, maybe some kind of Origin Stone skill, but it is still far from the level of hearing a conversation hundreds of meters away. far away."
The serious expression on Mr. Shihuaiya's face softened slightly: "But as long as you can continue to prove that you do have this hearing, then I am willing to believe you."
"It's easy. Just find one or a few people you trust, go down and talk casually, and then I'll repeat it to you here, and you can confirm it after the other person comes up."
Mr. Shi Huaiya nodded. Just when he was about to do this, he heard Wu Ke say: "But actually, there's no need to bother. I have a better way to prove it."
"What method?"
Mr. Shi Huaiya looked at him.
"I just need to prove that what you are doing now does not pose a threat to me. For example, this old man who is a butler, you can just take out the short rifle hidden in your hand."
"What, how did you know I was using a gun?"
The old butler's expression changed. He was an assassin who knew that times had changed.
He has long since abandoned cold weapons and switched to hot weapons. Anyone who can spot his Sargon assassination move will try to distance themselves from him as much as possible.
And whenever others pulled away and he took out his firearm, he could see the shock on their faces.
But he didn't expect that this time, he would be discovered before he even took out his special short rifle.
Wu Ke shrugged: "In addition to my good hearing, I also have good eyesight, and I have a clairvoyant eye that can see through objects.
Therefore, no matter what you use to cover up, as long as the thing you cover up does not exceed the limit of my eyesight, you will be naked in front of me and cannot hide it! "
