Chapter 1286 Return to Huaishan

"He looks very handsome, so he deserves it!" The one-eyed old man looked at Ji Ye seriously with his non-blind eye, then patted his arm with his right hand and said with satisfaction, "He has a strong body too! I just don’t know if it’s good for Xiaobai?”

Ji Ye was not unhappy at all when he was touched by the old man. Even though his expensive clothes were left with a small fingerprint, he still smiled and said patiently and seriously: "Grandpa, she is my life."

Suddenly being fed a mouthful of dog food, the one-eyed old man was very happy!

To be able to say something like this, it must be a good deal!

"Okay, okay!" He said three good words in a row, and then said, "As long as you have this consciousness! She is not bad! Xiaobai is a good girl, you have to treat her well! Otherwise, I can't spare you!"

When he said this, he didn't know if it was Ji Ye's illusion, but he seemed to feel that the one-eyed old man's back seemed to have straightened up a little, and it was not as stooped as before? !

After the old man finished speaking, he turned to Bai Qi with a smile and said, "Grandpa just made porridge. Xiao Bai came just in time. Do you want to drink some?"

Bai Qi had been looking at the house, and when he heard the one-eyed old man's words, he looked back: "No, Grandpa, Ji Ye and I have some things to do and we have to go into the mountains."

"There's something else..." The one-eyed old man was obviously a little disappointed, but he didn't want to delay her affairs. He struggled internally for a moment, and then retreated to the trail. "Okay, if you have something to do, go quickly! But the fog is still very heavy in the mountains at the moment, and there is no way to delay her." It’s so slippery!”

Bai Qi didn't understand what the old man was thinking, so he comforted him in a gentle voice: "Okay, I know the way. Grandpa will rest at home first. When we come out of the mountains, we can have a good time reminiscing with him."

The implication is that there is no hurry to leave.

When the one-eyed old man heard this, his few remaining white beards trembled with joy, and a happy look appeared in his cloudy old eyes: "Okay! Then I can make you some lunch?!"

Just when Ji Ye was about to refuse, Bai Qi had already nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

Ji Ye glanced at Xiao Bai. Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask in the end.

After chatting with the old man, Bai Qi took Ji Ye into the mountains one after another.

The road was a little narrow and the ground was slippery.

Fortunately, the two of them had good balance and good physical strength. They passed through various bushes without any hindrance.

"Xiao Bai, do we really want to go to the old man's place for lunch at noon?" Ji Ye asked the doubts in his heart as he walked, "Things in the mountains..."

Bai Qi pushed aside a bunch of branches in front of him. This small shrub was covered with barbs, and it would be very painful to be pricked. She calculated the time: "We may not be able to go down the mountain before noon, but... we have to give the old man something to look forward to. Besides, I have other things I want to explore with grandpa."

Ji Ye understood: "Well, that's good."

The road became thinner and thinner as they walked, and when they reached the huge and dense wild trees and bushes, Bai Qi paused and looked around, as if judging the direction.

After a while, she pushed aside a tree with her hand and passed through it: "Go here."

Ji Ye followed closely and deliberately pulled the branches behind her back to prevent them from hitting her when they bounced back.

Huaishan is already remote, and the laboratory created by the Tang family is deep in the mountains. They hide it so secretly because they don't want the world to easily discover the existence of this behemoth. Bai Qi didn't know when the Tang family started building the laboratory, but he could probably guess that they quickly evacuated the place not long after Tang Yuanqing's death!

The two-story building is not too tall, but the building materials used in its construction are all of the highest quality. Even if everything inside was taken away, it stood quietly in place, still showing some of the prosperity of the past.

Nature's ability to repair is the most powerful.

After three years of neglect, the vegetation here was lush and lush, and ivy grew crazily, almost occupying both sides of the wall.

The cold fog was thick and the cool breeze was blowing. All you could hear was the rustling of leaves and trees.

In the huge building, many windows were shattered by unknown objects. There was no light, and only the sky light seeped in through the thick fog...

Looking from a distance, it has the mysterious and cold atmosphere of a haunted house.

Ji Ye has seen the big world, but at first glance, he was still shocked for a moment. Thinking that Xiaobai came here alone late at night last time, I couldn't help but feel even more distressed.

"This place... was built secretly by the Tang family?" Ji Ye stood at the door. Instead of rushing in, he looked around and mentioned another thing, "Xiao Bai, after you told me about this place last time, I Send someone to investigate. The Tang family declined almost immediately after Tang Yuanqing's death. There was no external reason. "

Bai Qi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ji Ye looked at her seriously: "The Lu family and the Wei family, one on the second line and one on the front line. After you took some action, although they showed some signs of decline, they did not die immediately. With Yun Huai's help, they gradually It looks like it's going to grow stronger.

But the Tang family is the head of the four major aristocratic families in the capital, and their status and heritage far exceed that of the Lu family and the Wei family! Tang Yuanqing is indeed the most outstanding person in the new generation. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the designated heir of the Tang family. However... Tang Yuanqing's death will at most make his parents sad, but it will never affect the development of the entire family. "

Bai Qi agrees with this point: "The family may be depressed for a long time, but it will not die out."

Ji Ye continued: "The Tang family is like a cruise ship sailing on the sea surface. After a storm, it suddenly disappeared... The most important thing is that they have hardly conveyed any information to the outside world, as if they suddenly retreated, leaving only remote branches. And the people of the main family... I don't know whether they are rising or falling or declining."

Bai Qi pursed her lips, and some strange emotions flashed in her clear eyes. After a moment, she raised her eyelashes, her eyes were unusually clear, and she stared straight ahead: "So I think... there will be an answer here."

The close friend died, and the family declined because of it.

She woke up from the brink of death and heard about the decline of the Tang family, but she had no mood to investigate the reasons for the decline.

Therefore, over the years, Bai Qi, like everyone else, believed that the Tang family was devastated by the death of Tang Yuanqing, and the person in power was like Professor John, who died of shock. After all, a family needs a backbone. It is not easy to support a family, but it is too easy to watch it fall apart! Without a backbone, decline is a matter of time.

However, after seeing the dark green box yesterday and discovering the hidden padlock... Bai Qi suddenly realized that the Tang family might be hiding a deeper secret.

If the Tang family could build such a large base in Huaishan by themselves, it means that they have a lot of trump cards!
