Chapter 106: Niu's Mother and Son, the Mysterious New Master (Update 1)
"I don't know him." Jiang Fuyue denied.
The next second, he suddenly became powerful, and his pressure was so strong that Niu Rui almost couldn't resist: "With the jade pendant in hand, I am the master of Qianji Pavilion. Tell Niu Chunhua to get out!"
This outburst completely stunned Niu Rui: "My mom is not in the country..."
have to!
It came back empty-handed.
Jiang Fuyue was not too disappointed. She could do what she wanted to do today even if Niu Chunhua was not there.
Suddenly, she smiled, as if bathed in spring breeze: "Little cow, why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
“…” Damn little Maverick, so shameful!
"Hmm?" Jiang Fuyue changed his tone and raised the last syllable.
"Upstairs, please."
The second floor of the bar does not have private rooms and is only used for office purposes.
Niu Rui asked her to sit on the sofa and placed a glass of water in front of Jiang Fuyue.
"Who...are you?"
Jiang Fuyue ignored him, stood up and walked around the office twice, and finally stopped in front of a huge oil painting. In the painting, Niu Chunhua was wearing a cheongsam, holding a round fan, with lowered brows and a loving look, looking infinitely shy, exactly the same as she was twenty years ago.
Niu Rui didn't move. He stared at her back anxiously, but he had to pretend to be calm: "Come and sit down. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Jiang Fuyue turned around and asked, "You seem very nervous?"
His Adam's apple rolled. "Really? Maybe it's because Qianji Pei, who disappeared for twenty years, suddenly appeared..."
"No," Jiang Fuyue interrupted him, smiling, "You're afraid that I'll discover the secret behind this painting!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and pressed the picture frame. The hollow carvings at one-third of the frame suddenly sank. With the sound of mechanical operation, the originally still mahogany treasure cabinet suddenly moved to the side, revealing an entrance about half a meter wide.
Niu Rui stood up in shock: "Stop——"
Jiang Fuyue looked back slowly: "Isn't it a little late to shout now?"
"Who the hell are you?! Why do you know my mom's real name and the entrance switch?!"
"I thought you would not ask such a stupid question after seeing Qianji Pei."
Niu Rui gritted his teeth and looked unfriendly.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Doesn't Qianji Pavilion always recognize jade and not people?"
"You even know this? Unfortunately, you're wrong. Ever since Aunt Lou, Qianji Pavilion has only recognized people!"
"Oh?" Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, interest flickering in her eyes. "Why did it change starting with her? Where are all your rules and regulations?"
Niu Rui frowned: "Anyway, just having the jade pendant is not enough!"
"What else do you need?"
"Of course it's Aunt Lou's approval!"
"What if she dies..."
"Shut up!" Niu Rui got angry without warning, his eyes red, like an enraged beast, "You are not allowed to curse her!"
For a moment, Jiang Fuyue felt complicated.
Qianji Pavilion was founded by her master Ye Qianji, and later handed over to her mother Zhao Chuxiu. After Zhao Chuxiu's death, it was inherited by Lou Mingyue.
Niu Chunhua was her confidant whom she had promoted back then.
The rule of Qianji Pavilion has always been that whoever holds the jade pendant is the owner of Qianji Pavilion.
That's how she taught Niu Chunhua back then, but she didn't expect...
"I have a handwritten letter from Lou Mingyue."
Niu Rui's whole body was shaken, and he rushed forward. "What did you say?! You know Aunt Lou's whereabouts?! No... you're lying. You just said you didn't know her!"
Jiang Fuyue took out the letter she had prepared in advance.
After retrieving the Qianjipei from the cemetery yesterday, she prepared this letter in the handwriting of "Lou Mingyue" just in case.
I originally thought it would be useless...
Niu Rui took it and opened it eagerly. There were only four words on it -
Support each other with jade!
He recognized it as real at a glance, and at that moment, the tall guy almost burst into tears.
But he did not make a hasty judgment. Instead, he walked to the safe, entered the password, and took out something like a scanner from it.
First enter the program, then place the letter on the scanning port, and soon a purple watermark "MATCH 100%" will appear in the reflection area.
Handwriting identification matches!
"It's really her..." Niu Rui was shaking with excitement.
The next second, he suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Jiang Fuyue: "Master, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Fuyue helped him up, but Niu Rui didn't move. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Master, can you tell me the whereabouts of Aunt Lou? My mother and I have been looking for her for the past twenty years, but there is still no news."
"……"silence.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if she is doing well?"
“…She’s fine.”
"Then we're relieved!" Niu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and glanced at the dark entrance. "I'll take you in."
After saying that, he took the initiative to walk ahead.
Jiang Fuyue stepped up and followed.
The secret passage leading to the basement is not long, but it is full of traps along the way, and there is an infrared probe almost every three steps.
It's no longer the same as it was twenty years ago.
If Niu Rui hadn't led the way, it would have been difficult for Jiang Fuyue to force her way in.
After passing through the secret passage, the view suddenly opens up to a spacious basement with a central console, two command posts, neatly arranged electronic display screens around it, and hundreds of all-in-one machines running efficiently.
Intelligence from all over the world is transmitted here through encryption algorithms, from a country's new policy draft to the secrets of a wealthy family. As long as you enter the information you want to search, you can find it here.
A thread holds together thousands of looms, and success and fame lead to the sky.
This is the origin of "Qianji Pavilion"!
Jiang Fuyue looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, which was more standardized and more high-tech than twenty years ago.
It is not difficult to see that Niu Chunhua and her son have taken good care of Qianji Pavilion over the years.
Jiang Fuyue walked to one of the command positions and sat down. In front of her was an embedded all-in-one computer, and her ten fingers were on the keyboard.
Soon, the sound of crackling and knocking spread throughout the basement.
Niu Rui saw that she was familiar with the place, as if it was not her first time here, and his impression of this new owner suddenly became more mysterious.
But he asked nothing and said nothing.
Jiang Fuyue: "Authorization key."
Niu Rui: "...What level?"
"S."
"……I have no idea."
Jiang Fuyue frowned.
He quickly added, "My mom knows. I'm calling her right now!"
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and quickly dialed.
After a long beep, Niu Rui was almost in despair before the other end answered.
"You little bastard, do you know what time it is? You disturbed my beauty sleep. You think I'm too tight, don't you?" The woman's voice was crisp and fierce.
Niu Rui turned on the loud speaker, coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Mom——"
"Tell me, what's the matter." The woman stopped scolding and suddenly calmed down.
"S-level authorization key."
"What?" Niu Chunhua thought she had misheard. "Say it again?"
Niu Rui looked at Jiang Fuyue awkwardly and repeated it reluctantly.
The woman's tone suddenly turned cold. "Listen up, whoever's holding my son hostage over there. Don't even think about the access key. I won't tell you even if you kill him. Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up."
Niu Rui: “?” He was a little confused.
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
This woman is still as fierce as ever!
