The man's sudden question was very unreasonable. Qi Yan muttered with some dissatisfaction: "I asked you first..."

"Before bargaining, you must also know whether you are qualified." The man glanced at him: "You, are you qualified?"

Qi Yan knew that in his current situation, no matter what he did, he was not qualified.

"I am Yu Xi's friend." Qi Yan replied: "I am a prison guard. When he was wrongly imprisoned, I took care of him a little." Qi Yan said the truth, but he concealed some important things.

"You said it very smoothly." The man's understated reaction obviously knew Qi Yan's identity.

Although he didn't know why he was testing him, Qi Yan tried to remain silent when he didn't speak.

This man's aura and background are unfathomable. It is very likely that he is the one who did something bad to Yu Xi.

Now it seems that he is very familiar with Yu Xi, and both of them seem to be in his hands.

"Why don't you talk?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you have a lot of questions just now?"

"Since you already know my questions, I don't need to ask anything else."

"Don't you want to know my answer?"

"Whether you are willing to answer or not is your business. I can't control it, let alone make the decision."

Qi Yan's knowledge made the man a little interested. He looked at Qi Yan for a long time, snorted lightly, and actually waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

Qi Yan was a little confused. What exactly did he mean by coming here to act so arrogantly?

When Qi Yan was confused, the maid who was originally taking care of Qi Yan in the house came in again. This time she was holding a set of folded clothes, as well as a neatly arranged hair crown and shoes.

"Please dress neatly, sir. The master is waiting for you to eat." The maid put the clothes on the bed, and then left again without waiting for Qi Yan's reaction.

Looking at the moon-white robe, Qi Yan looked at the silk lining on his body, which was obviously not something a small prison guard like him could wear... All these were prepared for him by the cold-faced man? Why?

The man's attitude made Qi Yan confused for a while. If he was going to kill Yu Xi, then what was the purpose of his actions now?

He couldn't figure it out, but he was indeed hungry. Qi Yan had already regarded himself as a dying man. Anyway, he was not dead yet, and he didn't expect to live long in this strange place, so he simply put on his clothes and followed the man's script.

As expected, there was a maid waiting outside the door. After Qi Yan went out, he found that his room was in a quadrangle. The mahogany carved lacquer pillars were completely different from Lord Liu's mansion. Qi Yan had clearly admired Lord Liu's house before.

Following the maid, turning left and right, he passed through one long corridor after another, crossed two or three round arches, and finally stopped in a garden.

There was a large pavilion in the middle of the garden with stone tables and stone chairs. At this moment, the chairs were filled with exquisite delicacies. And the cold-faced man just now was sitting in the main seat, staring at the food on the table with a bad look.

Facing his expression, Qi Yan shrank back, but still walked slowly into the pavilion.

The man raised his head and glared at him: "You are so lazy."

Qi Yan said nothing and ignored his reaction. He sat opposite him, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

He had been hungry for three days, and he didn't know how he had survived these three days. Anyway, when he smelled the aroma of food, the tense nerves in his brain broke.

Screw whether to poison him or not, and how long he can live, go to hell!!

The man did not condemn Qi Yan's rude behavior, but just looked at him with contempt as he wolfed down the food. I don't know if his behavior infected his appetite. After a while, he also picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly but without stopping.

The two sat opposite each other and ate from the same table.

But these two people, this is the first time they meet...

Qi Yan doesn't know what the man in front of him is called, what he does, and what his identity is. At the same time, he is worried about Yu Xi. Although he can't save himself, he has made sufficient preparations... He

is ready to die, no matter what the outcome is, he will risk his life to fight.

Maybe Qi Yan's thoughts are too explicit, and the man noticed something in his changing expression.

"Yu Xi is my junior brother." The man suddenly said coldly: "He handed you over to me to take care of you for half a month."

The action of eating suddenly stopped, Qi Yan raised his head in disbelief, his eyes puzzled: "He handed me over to you to take care of you for half a month?!"

"Are you questioning what I said?" The man frowned unhappily: "Don't you think I am willing to take on this burden of yours?"

The man still spoke so ruthlessly, even a little poisonous.

Qi Yan lowered his eyes and changed the subject: "How is Yu Xi? Wasn't he injured?"

"He just left for work yesterday and was not at my house."

"I'm asking about his injury..."

"Yu Xi is injured?" The man's eyes swept over with unquestionable majesty: "You must remember, Yu Xi, is not injured."

The man's words were like a hammer hitting Qi Yan's chest. He looked at the man's serious expression and finally nodded.

Yu Xi's injury is probably not something that can be publicized. Although Qi Yan didn't know why, he still chose to remain silent.

After a meal, Qi Yan knew what he wanted to know. And the man also introduced himself.

——Qian Chenghe.

The semi-illiterate Qi Yan pronounced the man's name as 'jin' Chenghe, then 'mo' Chenghe, and finally in Qian Chenghe's sullen face he pronounced it correctly - 'qian' Chenghe.

I don't know where Yu Xi learned his master from, but he actually has such a sharp-tongued and wealthy senior brother.

He forced himself to live here peacefully, but he was always worried about the injured Yu Xi. And the people in the yamen...

Speaking of the yamen, Qi Yan's heart became uneasy.

If Lord Liu found out that he was missing suddenly, would he be suspicious and report to the court? At that time, the prisoners who had a good relationship with him would become the targets of torture...

The punishment of the yamen was the most terrible.

Thinking of this, Qi Yan, who had just been well-behaved in the mansion for a few days, began to worry again. He often blocked Qian Chenghe's door, but found that this man also went out early and came back late, and was often nowhere to be seen.

Qi Yan had no choice but to sacrifice a day's sleep and, despite the dissuasion of his servants, he made a bed at the door of Qian Chenghe's study.

In the middle of the night, when Qian Chenghe came back, he happened to see Qi Yan, who was counting stars in boredom.

"What are you doing here?" Qian Chenghe was stunned.

Qi Yan looked at him and blinked: "Waiting for you."
