Capital city.

study.

4:30 in the morning.

Bai Banxiao sat on the futon, closing his eyes and resting.

On the tea table in front of me, a cup of tea was bubbling, emitting a faint tea fragrance.

Ever since I had a serious illness a few years ago, I have been sleeping very little during the day.

Moreover, it was from that time that he began to open up the channel. From then on, he lived a leisurely life in the wild, focusing on health preservation, making himself like a half-Taoist priest.

Every time he got up at four or five o'clock, he would meditate in the study for an hour and then practice calligraphy.

However, my meditation state today was obviously not up to standard. I was distracted several times and could not get into the state.

Finally, Bai Banxiao simply opened his eyes and gave up the idea of ​​continuing. The Taoist priest once said when he taught him that Taoism pursues letting everything go and not forcing anything.

Since meditation is not possible, write.

I came to the desk, spread out the paper, ground the ink, and then picked up a No. 꿗 wolf-hair brush, dipped it in ink, and picked up the brush...

As a result, a minute was almost over, but Bai Banxiao still hadn't put pen to paper, as if he was still trying to find his groove.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Banxiao frowned.

Everyone in the family knew his habit, and usually no one dared to come and disturb him at this time.

Unless it's something urgent.

"Come in."

Bai Banxiao's eyes slowly opened, and then he put the brush back.

The door of the study opened, and a muscular man in his thirties stepped into the room.

"Second Master?"

"What's the matter?" Bai Banxiao asked calmly, with no emotion on his face.

"Ms. Ruoxue was robbed in Paris."

"Hmm?" Bai Banxiao looked over, his brows furrowed even deeper.

But looking at the expression of the man in front of him, it didn't look like anything had happened, so he said something.

"What happened? Tell me in detail."

"Miss Ruoxue was drinking with Simon's kid at the rooftop bar on the Champs Elysees tonight. When they came out, they were met with robbers, who stole Miss Ruoxue's bag."

"Then Simon drove to chase after the robber, but it turned out that the robber had an accomplice and the two were surrounded."

Bai Banxiao sat down, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

"What happens next?"

"After that..." The man paused, "The kid from Simon's family was afraid of death, so he left Miss Ruoxue and ran away alone."

"Hmm?" Bai Banxiao paused for a moment and looked over.

"The one who follows Ruoxue and is responsible for protecting her is Rendong, right?"

"Yes."

Hearing that Jindong was following him, Bai Banxiao relaxed a little.

"With Rendong here with her, Ruoxue shouldn't be in any danger..."

"Second Master. Honeysuckle didn't have time to go out because someone else went out."

"oh?"

This is just half a month of surprise.

"Who is it?"

"Chen Fan."

"Chen Fan?" Bai Banxiao raised his head suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Chen Fan from Ruofan Group?"

"Yes. That's him."

"Why is he in Paris?"

"What a coincidence. Chen Fan took his girlfriend to Europe to take wedding photos, and a group of friends followed, traveling together."

"As a result, they went out for a stroll at night and happened to run into Miss Ruoxue who was in trouble."

"According to the description on Ren Dong's phone, it was Chen Fan who acted with a few friends and rescued Miss Ruoxue."

"They are on their way to take the lady back to the hotel now."

Bai Banxiao was silent, with a strange expression on his face.

After a while, he shook his head in self-mockery.

"You said this... this thing called fate, it's really hard to explain."

After taking a sip from the teacup, Bai Banxiao asked, "Is Ruoxue okay?"

"It's okay. I was just a little frightened, but on the way back, I was able to talk and laugh with Chen Fan."

Bai Banxiao nodded, and suddenly said something without any warning.

"Do you think Ruoxue and Chen Fan are a good match?"

Han 떚 on the opposite side was obviously stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"This...I am not qualified to discuss the private affairs of the young lady."

Bai Ban hesitated: "Yun Gui, I was the one who sent you to Yun Hai to secretly protect Ruoxue. You know best what happened to her in Yun Hai."

"So, analyze what the current situation is between her and Chen Fan?"

Han, who had just returned from the clouds, lowered his head and thought carefully for a long time before he opened the door cautiously.

"I think... Chen Fan doesn't have that kind of thoughts about the young lady."

"What about Ruoxue?"

"Ms. Ruoxue...seems to have always regarded Chen Fan as a good friend."

Bai Banxiao nodded slowly, and it was hard to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied on his face.

Yun Gui hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask.

"Second Master, haven't you always wanted to bring the Second Miss together with Chen Fan?"

Bai Banxiao glanced at the guy and said calmly: "If Qingci can be with Chen Fan, that would naturally be the best outcome."

"Whether the Taoist priest was right or wrong, one thing is undeniable: Qingci's health gradually improved after he arrived at the Sea of ​​Clouds."

"She has tried various treatments over the years, but nothing worked. Her condition has only gotten worse."

"I hope Qingci can be with Chen Fan. It will be a good thing for both her and the Bai family."

"As a result, this girl came back during the Chinese New Year and got angry at me and her father. She also said that if we force her to be with Chen Fan again, she would die in front of us..."

Bai Banxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My eldest brother is a daughter slave. He treats the two girls like babies."

"Qingci finally recovered, so of course he doesn't dare to take risks again."

Yun Gui nodded slightly, and understood a little.

It seems that the Second Master felt that there was no chemistry between the Second Miss and Chen Fan, so he started to think of the eldest lady.

It’s just that Miss is…

Yun Gui smiled bitterly.

The eldest daughter is a woman with a very strong opinion, and is even harder to persuade than the second daughter.

If we really force the matchmaking, who knows what the young lady will do.

"Oh, Second Master, there is one more thing..."

Yun Gui seemed to have thought of something and quickly reported: "Ren Dong said on the phone that someone seemed to be following Chen Fan."

"Um?"

Bai Banxiao looked over with confusion.

Yun Gui quickly explained: "That's what Ren Dong said, but she just felt it was a little suspicious and couldn't confirm it for the time being."

"And the person following Chen Fan has an Eastern face, so the most likely possibility is that he followed him from our country."

Bai Banxiao murmured, "Chen Fan is in trouble..."

At this point, Bai Banxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Did Ruoxue ask you to investigate the Wu family in Beijing a few years ago?"

Yun Gui nodded: "Yes. At that time, the eldest lady asked me to help check the shareholder structure behind the company Weiting Holdings."

"The background of this company is very complicated, including the Wu family, the Li family, the Cai family and other families in Beijing."

"Then I understand."

Bai Banxiao nodded slowly, and for a moment seemed to have guessed something.

"Second Master suspects that this group is behind this?"
