Chapter 1944 The Golden Key Is Missing
"I thought he just wanted to ask me out for dinner. After all, he might want to congratulate me when I returned to Jing's house." Jing Huan took a breath, "But I didn't expect him to ask me for help all of a sudden. After I refused, he..."
Jing Lao's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly poured out two cups of tea from the teapot.
Then I heard Jing Huan crying: "He threatened me, saying that if I don't want to cooperate with him, he will find someone else. And, he will make me take the blame."
"And then?" Elder Jing continued to ask calmly.
Jing Huan felt that the atmosphere was not right, and always felt that Jing Lao was too calm, but she still insisted on acting harder.
"I asked a few people to help, but they all told me to wait and see what happens. So, I found a way to hide in the city of Dibei, deliberately pretending to be sick so that Huo Shao and the others sent many people to protect me." Jing Huan Taking a breath, tears quickly rolled down from the corners of my eyes, "I'm really terrified. I hide in the house and dare not go anywhere. I stay for such a long time."
Jing Lao pondered for a few seconds, "Then, did Ye Jingyan look for you after that?"
"Yes, I refused."
"Why did he ask you to cooperate? Ask you for money?" Elder Jing asked again.
Jing Huan cried and said, "Probably... probably because he thinks that I'm jealous of An Xiaowan and embarrassed by Huo Shao, so he will help him frame them."
"Really." Jing Lao didn't say whether he believed it or not.
Jing Huan's heart suddenly became a little anxious.
My beloved granddaughter, who has been missing for many years, shed tears in front of me, but Lilan cried, any old man should respond. Why does Jing Lao look so calm and ruthless at this moment?
"Grandpa, what do you think I should do? You are finally back, and I have a backbone, and I am no longer so afraid in my heart." Jing Huan's watery and tearful eyes were filled with a pitiful light of dependence. Leaning on Jing Lao's arm like this, like a little girl waiting for her family's redemption, full of attachment.
"Get a good rest first, and don't worry about anything else." Jing Lao pondered for a few seconds before finally speaking, "Next, I will also send someone to protect you 24 hours a day."
Jing Huan was taken aback, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa."
Next, there is nothing to talk about.
Jing Huan had no choice but to find an excuse to leave first and go back to the room to rest.
But before she took two steps, Jing Lao's slightly cold voice suddenly came from behind.
"By the way, Huan'er, where did you put that key?"
The voice behind him made Jing Huan's shoulders subconsciously stiffen slightly. Probably because Mr. Jing's aura was too strong, even though she had been prepared for a long time, she still felt a little trembling.
She immediately adjusted herself, took a deep breath and blinked, "What key? The house key? I'm carrying it."
As she spoke, she began to rummage through her bag.
But Jing Lao uttered two words heavily, "No."
Jing Huan stopped and raised his head, "Then what? Car keys?"
"Golden key." Elder Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, "You were carrying it back then, and we recognized you because of it, the golden key."
"Ah~ that!" Jing Huan smiled and said softly, "I always carry it with me, Grandpa, do you want to see it?"
Old Jing nodded.
So Jing Huan briskly began to dig in the inner pocket of his clothes.
She took a long time.
His face changed from brisk to flustered, nervous, panicked... pale with despair.
