Chapter 842 Tell me, what happened
The man sitting at the top was on the verge of a rage: "Could it be that she could just disappear out of thin air? Are you guys kidding me?"
At this time, an elderly woman stepped forward and said, "Master, calm down. Things have come to this point. There is no point in arguing any further. Let's discuss what to do next."
The veins on the man's hand bulged as he gripped the armrest of the chair. "I originally thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect to invest so many years and so many people, and still get nothing. I'm starting to doubt whether the information I got before was wrong."
The woman placed her hand on the man's shoulder and said, "We've persisted for so long. If we give up, all our efforts will be wasted. Besides, there's no smoke without fire. That man is an elder of the Xiao family. It's impossible for him to lie under those circumstances."
"But our people have turned the Xiao family upside down over the years, but we found nothing. Now that the police have busted their lair, I'm afraid there's no hope for us if we rely on our people alone."
"Jiang Huiwen is really useless. He confessed everything after the police's first trial. Luckily, we have never shown our faces. Otherwise, we would have suffered the consequences as well."
The man raised his hand and slapped the armrest of the chair: "I, Qi Xiaotian, just don't believe it. Even if I have to dig the Xiao family three feet deep, I will dig out that treasure."
When Chu Xue heard this man's name, the scene of the day of the family reunion flashed through her mind. She remembered that her grandfather had an old friend named Qi Xiaotian, and she couldn't help but look over.
It turned out that the man was the same person he had met on the day he met his relatives.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind: This person is being targeted by an acquaintance, and judging from the conversation between the man and the woman, they have been coveting the Xiao family's things for a long time.
It seems that she has to go to the compound first. It is faster to ask the old man directly about some things.
Now that she heard what she wanted to know, she quickly left.
After exiting the alley, he headed straight for the compound.
When she arrived, Mr. Xiao was about to go out for a walk: "Chuxue, why are you here?"
"Grandpa, I have something to talk to you about."
Seeing that his granddaughter's expression was very serious, he realized that the matter might not be simple: "Come on, let's go to the study to talk."
The grandfather and grandson entered the house one after another.
Chu Xue greeted Miao Yiqiu in the living room: "Hello, auntie."
Miao Yiqiu stood up with a smile: "Have you eaten?"
Chu Xue didn't lie: "Not yet."
Miao Yiqiu put down her needlework and said, "Then I'll make you some noodles."
Chuxue didn't refuse: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, I have something to say to grandpa, I will be out soon."
After entering the study, Mr. Xiao motioned for her to sit down: "Tell me, what happened?"
Chu Xue sat directly in front of the old man and lowered her voice and asked, "Grandpa, how did you get to know Qi Xiaotian who came to our house on the day of our family reunion banquet?"
The old man looked puzzled, but he answered his granddaughter's question first: "Our two families used to live on the same street. The day after tomorrow, Qi Xiaotian and his family moved away for some unknown reason. We were away for a few years. It was only after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that we met again. Why are you asking about him?"
Apart from the matter of mental power, she told him everything that happened today: "Grandpa, I found someone watching his house in the dark."
The old man stood up immediately: "Then how did you hear those words? Was anyone discovered?"
He was afraid that his granddaughter would be discovered, which would put her in even greater danger.
Chu Xue naturally couldn't tell the truth: "Grandpa, you know that I have good eyesight and good hearing. Maybe that person forgot to lower his voice because of his anger. I climbed onto the roof from the neighboring courtyard wall and happened to hear the conversation."
