Chapter 268 A Warning Spoken
The background of the video is a villa, and only Jiang Ran and Lu Ziyi are in it, so it is presumably Lu Ziyi who recorded the video.
Did he go to such lengths to send me this message just to provoke me?
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his face showed displeasure.
He had heard of Lu Ziyi's name long ago and didn't want to bring it up again, but Lu Ziyi insisted on courting death and walking right into the line of fire...
That's not his fault!
Si Yanxiao's expression darkened, and he got up to leave.
Just then, the cell phone that was placed to the side suddenly rang.
Si Yanxiao's eyes flickered slightly. After seeing the caller ID, he pursed his lips and frowned almost imperceptibly between his brows before swiping to answer.
The old man's furious voice came through the receiver: "Get back to the old house immediately!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Si Yanxiao's reply.
Si Yanxiao pursed his lips as he heard the tone of the call being disconnected. Judging from the old man's tone, he was clearly on the verge of getting angry.
Left with no other choice, they had to obey and go back.
Just then, Gu Nan pushed open the door and entered, looking surprised. She said, "I think I just saw Bai Zhuwei go out?" "Yes," Si Yanxiao replied softly, then began to pack his things.
Seeing this, Gu Nan raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What are you planning to do?"
A hint of helplessness flashed across Si Yanxiao's face as he replied in a low voice, "That person suddenly called me and ordered me to return to the old house. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I had no choice but to comply."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan froze on the spot, a hint of unease flashing across her face, and stood aside stammering.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Nan reached out and lightly touched the tip of his nose, looking extremely guilty. Then he coughed twice and tentatively asked, "Ayan, are we brothers?"
Hearing his sudden, nonsensical words, Si Yanxiao glanced at him coldly and then rebuked him, "What's wrong with you?"
As she spoke, she paused slightly, as if she had thought of something. Her eyes sharpened, and she asked coldly, "What have you done to wrong me this time?!"
Seeing his cold expression, Gu Nan gave an awkward smile, quickly offered a few perfunctory words, and left without waiting for him to speak again.
Si Yanxiao watched his retreating figure as he fled in a panic, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
He then walked away and drove to the old house.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the old house, he saw a familiar figure. Si Yanxiao parked the car outside the gate, walked slowly to the butler, nodded slightly, and called out in a low voice, "Uncle Chen".
The butler responded in a low voice, and the two walked inside side by side.
Whenever the old man was in a bad mood and forcibly called her back, the butler would stand at the door beforehand to give her a heads-up and prepare her in advance.
Si Yanxiao glanced at the main hall and tentatively asked, "Why did that person call me back in such a hurry?"
The butler glanced at him meaningfully, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "You and Bai Zhuwei haven't broken up yet?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, and he replied softly, "What does this have to do with her?"
The butler's eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out and patted the man's shoulder, letting out a soft sigh: "Good luck..."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Si Yanxiao could tell from his words that this matter was probably related to Bai Zhuwei, and a look of irritation flashed across his face.
After all, the old man had a deep prejudice against Bai Zhuwei. Whenever it came to her, it would inevitably lead to a big fight and endless arguments.
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao sighed inwardly before stepping into the main hall.
The old man was sitting upright on the sofa, his face gloomy and his eyes filled with coldness.
Seeing his displeasure, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips, walked slowly closer, and feigned ignorance, asking softly, "Did you call me back for something important?"
Old Master Si's expression suddenly hardened. He looked coldly at Si Yanxiao, picked up the remote control on the table, and pressed start.
On the large screen directly in front of him, the sound of him and Bai Zhuwei staring at each other appeared instantly, but the only drawback was that there was only the picture and no sound.
So much so that just looking at the images can easily lead to speculation and misleading conclusions.
Si Yanxiao looked up and saw the screen showing the scene of them glaring at each other in the office. However, looking at the screen alone, you couldn't tell that the two were arguing; instead, there was a hint of ambiguity.
Bai Zhuwei approached step by step, but he showed no resistance whatsoever.
Most noticeably, Bai Zhuwei appeared weak and vulnerable, occasionally showing a wronged expression, as if she were complaining to Si Yanxiao about something.
Seeing this, Si Yanxiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he instantly understood why Gu Nan had acted so strangely before leaving.
It seems that all of this was done by him. He actually dared to install surveillance cameras in his own office and even let the old man know about it. He's really something!
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's face darkened, and a sense of anxiety rose in his heart. He wished he could get rid of Gu Nan right now.
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the old man speak coldly, demanding, "Didn't I strictly forbid you from continuing your relationship with her? What? Are you ignoring my words?!"
Si Yanxiao listened to the old man's stern reprimand, his lips pursed, unsure how to respond.
Seeing him lower his eyes and remain silent, a cold glint flashed across the old man's face. He then spoke again, coldly rebuking, "Do you only stop when the events of six years ago are repeated?"
His words were full of disappointment and frustration.
Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head, and did not argue.
The old man reprimanded him a few more times, and before he finished, he warned him to never have any further contact with Bai Zhuwei.
What was remarkable was that Si Yanxiao remained silent and simply stood there listening.
Only after it was over did he nod slightly, seemingly casually, and reply in a low voice, "Yes, is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."
It was as if they were only waiting to leave, and that coming here was just to complete a task.
Old Master Si saw through his perfunctory attitude, his eyes darkened, and he coldly rebuked, "Did you even listen to what I said?!"
Seeing that the old man seemed about to get angry, Si Yanxiao responded in a low voice, then turned and left.
Watching his departing figure, Old Master Si looked helpless and sighed softly.
No sooner had Si Yanxiao left than Jiang Ran arrived at the old house.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Old Master Si's expression changed drastically, becoming much more relaxed, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.
There was still a hint of a smile in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Ran, and then she said, "Ayan just left. If I had known you were coming, I should have kept him a little longer."
Jiang Ran knew that he wanted to bring the two of them together alone, so she did not object.
She then walked slowly to his side, changed the subject, and asked softly, "How have you been feeling lately?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression became a little serious, and he replied in a low voice, "I always feel a bit weak all over. I'm fine during the day, but at night I feel a dull pain in my chest."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran pursed her lips, nodded, and reassured him, "It's alright, this is normal. After a few more treatments, there will be significant results."
The old man had always trusted Jiang Ran's medical skills to the extreme. Hearing her say this, his eyes lit up and he repeatedly agreed.
Jiang Ran deftly twisted the silver needle in her hand and skillfully pierced the acupoints in front of her.
As the silver needle entered the acupoint, a surge of spiritual energy flowed slowly through his body along his fingertips.
Jiang Ran performed several acupuncture treatments in succession, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
I couldn't help but curse the person behind the scenes for persecuting the old man!
The yin energy that the old man had accumulated in his body for decades had shown significant results, and his condition was improving and gradually stabilizing.
Unexpectedly, the evil spirit entered his body again, and the old man's body could not withstand such a great blow, so his condition deteriorated rapidly.
As the acupuncture needles were inserted, the old man felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and his previous fatigue was instantly relieved.
Then, feigning nonchalance, he asked, "Are Ji Liang and A Yan still at odds?"
Jiang Ran was surprised that he would suddenly bring up this topic. Her eyes flashed, and she slowly shook her head, replying, "I haven't had much interaction with the two of them, so I really don't know much about it."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Si lowered his brows slightly, pursed his lips, and a look of struggle flashed across his face.
Jiang Ran noticed the change in his expression, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she asked softly with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
