Yang Guanshi still smiled and looked at me.
The atmosphere gradually became stiff, and the smile on Yang Guanshi's face gradually disappeared.
"Do you think I'm wrong, my nephew?"
"Everyone's right and wrong is hard to be definitively judged," I shook my head, extended my hand, "I help the Marquis once, and the Marquis gives me compensation; it's a normal collaboration, which everyone can accept."
Although I'm not comfortable, I haven't turned against him because of this request from Yang Guanshi.
In the perspective of the Marquis, he didn't make any mistake, and I'm definitely not a man with a contrary nature.
It's just that everyone has chosen differently.
Yang Guanshi's expression changed instantly, fluctuating between cloud and rain.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, and every inch of muscle gradually tensed.
If he shows any sign of turning against me, I'll have to strike first!
"Alright then, my nephew, give me the items you've formed into deadly prisons and I'll give you the file bag."
Suddenly, Yang Guanshi's expression returned to normal.
I furrowed my brow and said, "Give me the file bag, and I'll let Huāyíng take that item back to the Marquis."
"You don't trust me, Yang Guanshi? I never go back on my word!" Yang Guanshi retorted.
I really don't trust Yang Guanshi.
First meeting, turning against face; second and third times, schemes.
Heaven knows that, away from the Marquis today, if I don't fulfill his wish, what kind of tricks he will come up with next.
"I've broken the deadly prison, found the worker's body, and these things are done. There have also been several payments for the transactions; this is fair," I said again.
"Fair..."
Yang Guanshi suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled again.
My muscles tensed even more, thinking Yang Guanshi was about to turn against me when he suddenly raised his hand and threw the file bag into my hands.
"My nephew, the things inside may cause you to have emotional instability. I suggest you wait until you get home to examine them," Yang Guanshi sighed.
Heart's mood, that moment loose a lot.
The file bag was heavy, yet it made my breathing grow rapid.
"Thank you, Yang Guanshi." With one hand tightly grasping the file bag, I raised my other hand to bow.
Turning around, I hurriedly went out.
My steps were light and nimble as I hurried through the narrow corridor, my palms were sweating, and my heart raced even more intensely.
I'm about to find out about my parents' affairs in those years!
The Marquis must not know the truth, but I can get clues from here to get closer to the truth!
The two things I've longed for the most over the past ten years.
Revenge on the Sun family.
Find out everything about my parents!
Walking through the hall, I arrived in front of the elevator.
I pressed the button, but the elevator didn't come down to the ground floor.
People in the hall continuously glanced over my body, and the voices of their chatter rose one after another.
I ignored everything they were saying.
The digits for the elevator floor didn't move, and the red halo was fading.
Usually, I have a lot of patience. At this moment, my patience was extremely thin.
My palms were even more sweaty, soaking a corner of the file bag.
I took a deep breath and tore open the file bag.
Before I could take out the A4 paper inside, my phone began to vibrate.
I frowned, reached for the phone first, and saw that the caller was Huayíng.
What's the matter with Sun Daichao?
I answered, and Huayíng's voice sounded a bit tense: "Is everything okay over there?"
"No problem, what's up?" I asked.
Huayíng's voice became more serious and careful.
"No problem is good, and I'll tell you, you must remember, no matter what Yang Guanshi says to you, does or how he lets you angry and indignant, you can't stay at the Marquis' place. Don't go home. After coming out, quickly find a safe place to stay. Then I'll come to find you."
My pupils instantly contracted.
Huayíng said in a lower voice, "There should be no problem with Sun Daichao. I saw the birdcage, and there was a new magpie inside. The one that was previously a zombie should have encountered some other problems. Okay, that's it, remember it."
The call ended.
My eyelids twitched slightly.
Suddenly, I thought about whether Huayíng guessed that Yang Guanshi was going to recruit me and said something that would prevent me from taking revenge?
Does she think I would turn against him?
My mood slightly eased up, but Huayíng still doesn't understand me well.
I put away my phone and took out an A4 paper.
My body stiffened abruptly...
My body suddenly stiffened because there were no words on the A4 paper.
My fingers clenched tightly, tearing the paper.
I quickly pulled out the second A4 paper, and it was blank as well.
My brain buzzed with noise for a moment.
Yang Guanshi's words to me suddenly echoed in my ears.
...
"My nephew, the things inside may cause you to have emotional instability."
...
"I suggest you look at them after you get home."
...
The silver elevator door could reflect the shadow of a person, and I could see my own blood-red eyes.
Was I set up?!
Saying the truth, if Yang Guanshi was right in front of me, I would kill him!
Just a moment ago, Huayíng's warning rang in my ears again…
I was wrong in my inference...
Yang Guanshi's purpose is definitely not as simple as that.
He told me to go home.
Huayíng told me not to go home...
I tried to keep my emotions stable and stuffed the two A4 papers back into the file bag.
But for some reason, the elevator numbers that had been moving slowly from the 28th floor to the 15th floor stopped again.
The red halo kept fading away, like a bloodstain.
The chatter suddenly disappeared.
For a moment, the hall became unusually quiet.
My pupils contracted again, but there were no abnormal movements. Instead, I looked at the sides of the elevator.
Normally, there should be stairs beside the elevator that can lead directly outside.
In a glance, I saw the door to the corridor.
The door was made of steel, hanging on a thick lock.
The elevator still didn't move on the 15th floor…
Cold sweat was dripping down the sides of my forehead.
However, my heart was completely plunged into the bottomless pit.
I raised my head, squinted my eyes at the camera head hanging out of the elevator door.
There's a detail.
A detail. In the past, when several people had come in several times, the camera head was higher and could cover the entire large hall on the ground floor.
Now, its angle has lowered, completely facing my face, as if it were a cold mechanical eyeball.
The red dot was blinding.
I stared coldly at it.
Within a few seconds, there was a clapping sound from behind me.
"Young master Xian Shen, what a fierce gaze. Even through the phone screen, it scared me into a cold sweat."
The applause was very annoying, but it didn't hurt as much as Yang Guanshi's voice.
I turned around abruptly and saw Yang Guanshi standing in the office hallway with his hand holding the phone, applauding.
It was clear that he had been standing there all along, watching me through the phone's camera.
"However, we agreed that you should wait until you get home to examine the things inside. Otherwise, the things inside may cause you to have emotional instability."
Yang Guanshi's sheepish face that was smiling turned into a malevolent expression.
"Did you not intend to let me go?" My tone was particularly cold and severe.
"No, I did intend to let you go, but unfortunately, Huayíng doesn't want you to leave."
Yang Guanshi shook his head, furrowed his eyebrows into a knot, and swore, "What a traitorous and greedy thing."
