Chapter 086 Must "rescue" Jie Lianhuan
"It's not surprising that there's a secret passage in my old house. My second uncle said it was left there to avoid disasters. Later, the old house underwent two renovations, and this secret passage happened to be buried under two rooms."
"The strange thing is that I discovered there was a small room in that secret passage that was habitable, and it was fully equipped with all kinds of electrical appliances. There were also signs that someone had lived there. There was even a half-eaten bag of potato chips on the table!
The most important thing is that the bag of potato chips is tomato flavored!
My second uncle never eats junk food like potato chips, and my third uncle has always hated tomatoes and never eats anything with a tomato flavor. He thinks cucumber-flavored potato chips are the best.
Wuxie only remembered this later. Before he discovered this, he always thought that the person who had escaped from the secret passage before him was his third uncle.
"When I entered this secret passage, there happened to be someone in the room. Although I didn't see his face, the two entrances and exits of the secret passage are controlled by my second and third uncles. The person inside must have a close relationship with them.
It would be difficult for an outsider to sneak in without our knowledge. Since they were not outsiders, and they were not discussing important matters there, then the most suspicious person at that time was only one person, and that was—Jie! Lian! Huan!
With an unwavering look in his eyes, Wuxie completely believed that what he had deduced was the truth.
After hearing what he said, which was very logical and well-reasoned, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but nod even though he still had many doubts in his heart.
However, the doubts he discovered could not be ignored. Only by piecing together all the clues they found could the truth of the matter be found.
"I've found out a lot over the years. Although I haven't seen Jie Lianhuan, I've caught him a few times.
He must have some connection with Wu Sansheng and is secretly planning something.
We Nine Gates must be being targeted by someone. I don't know exactly when it started, but the other party is hiding very deeply and is very ruthless. They planted undercover agents and directly replaced people with human skin masks. It is obvious that they are not a force that is easy to deal with.
I suspect that Jie Lianhao faked his death to escape in order to go undercover and secretly investigate that force..."
"Wait, what's the point of Uncle Jie switching from being open to being covert? Can't he train a few good hands and plant undercover agents in the opposite direction?"
Wuxie asked a soul-searching question, causing Xie Yuchen to pause before he could finish his words.
What you said... makes a lot of sense.
"And why would the person who went from open to dark be Uncle Jie? Wouldn't my Third Uncle be more suitable?"
Wu·Shenshu Professional·Xie thinks Xiaohua is just too naive. She definitely can't imagine what it means to have a sadistic love, what it means to be possessive, and what it means to be crazy about love...
There is nothing much to say about this matter. It is obvious that his third uncle has bad intentions!
Wuxie's words "Isn't my third uncle more suitable?" suddenly enlightened Jie Yuchen, and the balance in his heart quietly tilted towards Wuxie.
Indeed, in terms of ability, appearance and scheming, Jie Lianhuan and Wu Sanxing are equally matched.
In terms of family background, Xie Lian has elderly parents and young children to support, and there is also a Xie family waiting for him to inherit. Hundreds of people in the family will depend on him for food in the future.
Wu Sansheng has no children. Although he has elderly parents, he still has two older brothers to take care of him, so it doesn't matter if he is missing one.
From this perspective, Wu Sansheng is much more suitable than Jie Lian.
Xie Yuchen didn't believe that if the two foxes worked together, they would not even be able to think of what Wuxie had thought of.
After much thought, Wuxie's statement was more reasonable, so Xie Yuchen decided to follow Wuxie's idea first.
"You come here to tell me this, what are you going to do?"
Wuxie gave a meaningful smile.
"Of course, we have to 'rescue' Uncle Jie and let him return to the Jie family in glory~"
Xie Yuchen took a sip of tea and immediately guessed what was in his mind.
It doesn't matter how Jie Lian returns to the Jie family or what he does when he returns. What matters is that if they do this, the heartless pair of mandarin ducks will definitely be separated for a long time.
Now the Xie family depends entirely on him. After Xie Lian comes back, anything he wants to do will have to be reported to him first. At that time, he will have the final say on when the two will meet.
Thinking of this, he was like the new generation of Queen Mother of the West who was trying to break up a couple in love. She wanted him to build a magpie bridge and make him happy first before talking about it!
"You're right. Jie Lianhuan has suffered so much outside these past few years. It's time for me to bring him back and show him my filial respect."
Xie Yuchen smiled and narrowed his eyes, but evil thoughts were brewing in his heart. The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
"I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry, once our stage is set up, I'll definitely give you a memorial when we start the show."
"Yeah, I can't wait any longer."
This way, he had a reason to meet Xiaohua next time. Maybe their childhood sweethearts could still be saved. Wuxie smiled happily.
"Oh, there's one more thing. I'm planning to go to the next tomb, but I can't get in touch with my third uncle, so I'd like to borrow some help from you."
Fortunately, Wuxie has not forgotten the incident of going to the tomb with Lao Yang.
"Okay, how many people do you want to borrow?"
Xie Yuchen agreed readily, but this question stumped Wuxie.
He has never arranged such a thing before, so how does he know how many people are needed?
He only had two experiences. The first one was arranged by his third uncle, and there were only five people in total. The second one was arranged by An Ning, and there were about a hundred people in total. How can this be used as a reference?
Seeing his naive look, Xie Yuchen tapped the table with his index finger and said to him again.
"How about this, if you trust me, tell me where you're going and the specific situation, and I'll plan and arrange the personnel for you."
"That's so embarrassing."
Wuxie gave a shy smile and told everything he knew.
As expected, Sister Xiaohua is beautiful and kind-hearted!
At first glance, this seemed like an ordinary fight, but Xie Yuchen keenly noticed something wrong.
"Wait a minute, the name Jie Laoyang seems a little familiar. If I remember correctly, he is also a member of the Jie family."
The Xie family itself has business in this area, and also has related rewards and profits.
He is a member of the Jie family, but when he encountered problems, he did not come to his own family for help. Instead, he told Wuxie, who was not related to him at all. They had no close connection, so this matter seemed wrong no matter how he looked at it.
After he said that, Wuxie also realized it. He asked why Lao Yang suddenly came to him. Was he trying to trick him?
Could it be that Lao Yang was instigated by Uncle San's enemies and came here specifically to set a trap for him?
Thinking of his third uncle's wicked and annoying appearance, not to mention that he has enemies everywhere, it is certain that six out of ten people on the road have been cheated by him. The more Wuxie thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
It turns out that he was here to ward off disaster for his uncle this time!
