Guo Xingmin was getting a little anxious from waiting, and he couldn't wait to push the door open and go in.

After a phone call, my mood changed drastically.

He had the urge to drop the child and run away.

However, since the old man in the house had spoken, he could only walk in tremblingly, like a primary school student being summoned by his teacher.

To be honest, this courtyard is not luxurious.

The biggest feature is its purity.

However, as soon as Guo Xingmin stepped into the courtyard, he felt the hormones that controlled his emotions being secreted crazily.

It's a feeling of being afraid of a tiger before even seeing it.

The chrysanthemums in the flower fields in the courtyard are in full bloom, as if they also understand that wealth and prosperity are blooming for people.

Follow the nanny all the way into the open living room door.

Guo Xingmin was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

There is an ordinary armchair in the living room, and next to it is a tea table. Judging from the color, it should be black tea.

There was an old man in home clothes sitting on the chair, with his eyes half closed, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

In just a few seconds, Guo Xingmin felt like he had spent a long century.

He didn't even notice the nanny leaving.

The old man smiled casually: "Guo Xingmin, right?"

The moment he opened his mouth, the unfathomable pressure that was as deep as a mountain and as deep as the sea suddenly dissipated.

Guo Xingmin felt like a fish in water, and his breathing became much smoother.

"Mr. Zhu." He was half bent over, and his voice was faintly trembling.

The old man nodded slightly and pointed to the tea table next to him: "Come and sit down, and pour me a cup of tea."

If it were only the first sentence, Guo Xingmin would definitely not dare to sit down.

But with the addition of the last sentence, it became an order for him to do something.

So after a slight pause, he hurriedly picked up his daughter and walked forward.

"Is this your child?" Mr. Zhu glanced at the child nonchalantly, "Can I hold him?"

Guo Xingmin handed his daughter to him respectfully, then shook his head: "She is not my child."

Seeing that Mr. Zhu did not speak again, he looked at the girl in his arms with a kind face.

After a slight hesitation, he picked up the glass pot, tested the temperature with the back of his hand, and then poured it into the teacup.

"Mr. Zhu, is this black tea?" Guo Xingmin was really feeling a little uneasy and made small talk.

"This kid has a big face and a high forehead. He looks like a blessed child." Old Zhu praised with a smile in his eyes.

Then he tilted his head to look at the tea and explained, "Ten-year-old Xia Mantian, a specialty of Qingyun. It can't be considered an orthodox black tea, but it can barely be considered a decent black tea."

Guo Xingmin was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was a species he had never heard of, and he could only utter four words helplessly.

"Mr. Zhu is elegant."

"If you like tea, I have a box of Chuntingxue from Yanshan City. I'll bring it to you someday."

Mr. Zhu paused as he was about to touch Nannan's cheek and glanced at him casually.

“I can’t drink green tea.”

"When people get old, their stomachs are not good, so they should drink black tea or something like that to nourish their stomachs."

Guo Xingmin was somewhat at a loss as to what to do after hearing this.

Normally speaking, even if the other party doesn't like such polite words, they won't reject it in such a straightforward way.

More importantly, he also mentioned that he liked black tea. Could it be that he was suggesting that he should give black tea as a gift?

"I didn't think enough." Guo Xingmin thought to himself, but his words were full of apology.

Mr. Zhu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and whispered, "Thank you."

Guo Xingmin's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart felt like twitching.

He forced a smile, his voice trembling: "Mr. Zhu, you are embarrassing me. What you said is..."

Mr. Zhu placed the teacup on the table and repeated in an unrecognizable tone.

"Thank you for pouring the tea for me."

Only then did Guo Xingmin realize that he had not heard wrongly.

So without any hesitation, he knelt on the ground like pushing down a golden mountain or overturning a jade pillar.

Wu Jin begged for mercy in fear: "Master Zhu, spare my life."

……

Jiang Shoucheng smashed all kinds of things in the house like a madman.

The china and cups were scattered all over the floor.

Tian Kang lowered his head, his lips and teeth were dry, and he looked at the crazy scene without daring to say a word.

Jiang Shoucheng grabbed Tian Kang by the collar and shouted angrily with spit flying.

"How dare Guo Xingmin, that bastard! How dare he!"

Tian Kang carefully glanced at his flushed face and his eyes that were almost popping out of their sockets.

He whispered to comfort her: "Please calm down, Mr. Jiang."

"Guo Xingmin is just an insignificant little guy. If you have any intention, I will find a way to kill him right now."

It is not known whether his words worked or Jiang Shouben was simply controlling his emotions.

His curses gradually faded away, leaving only heavy breathing.

Jiang Shoucheng adjusted his black-framed glasses, straightened his clothes, and then patted Tian Kang on the shoulder apologetically.

"I lost my temper."

He was both explaining and reminding himself.

After saying this, Jiang Shoucheng seemed like a different person, and his previous temper and anger disappeared completely.

Tian Kang was splashed with spit in the face, but he still felt flattered.

"Boss Jiang, excuse me, isn't Guo Xingmin the person you assigned to Nangang? What did he do to make you so angry?"

He is not actually a stupid person.

I definitely wouldn't ask about my superiors' affairs on a normal day.

However, Jiang Shoucheng did not avoid him when he made the call just now, and he even comforted him with a few words after his anger.

That's why Tian Kang chose to take the initiative to inquire about this matter.

If Jiang Shoucheng hadn't said it, at most he was a little tactless.

But if he said it, it would mean that he had taken a big step towards integrating into Mr. Jiang's circle.

Jiang Shoucheng's anger was suppressed by him, it did not disappear out of thin air.

Therefore, after hearing what Tian Kang asked, his expression got out of control again.

The corners of his mouth and cheeks twitched a few times at the same time, but he did not get furious anymore. Instead, he laughed in anger.

"Do you know what I asked Guo Xingmin to do in Nangang Street?"

Tian Kang couldn't figure out his true intention from the smile on his face, and he also knew that the other party didn't want to hear his blind guesses.

So after a little thought, he quickly shook his head.

A cold light flashed across Jiang Shoucheng's eyes, "Liu Xiaojun, this dog, wants to find a new master instead of me."

"But he didn't even think about it. After I asked him to do this, he still has a way to go?"

He didn't say what he was going to do, but Tian Kang had some guesses.

It’s nothing more than the planning of a new port on Nangang Street.

He knew very well that Grandpa Liu was plotting to take over Lu Yu Niang and Xiao Yuer's grandmother's house.

Therefore, those old houses and shops under the names of individuals are Liu Ye’s target.

"Guo Xingmin stayed in Nangang Street just to keep an eye on this dog, lest he quit his job out of desperation."

Jiang Shoucheng took a deep breath and continued.

"I didn't intend to let him touch the child of the fisherman's family on Nangang Street, but I didn't expect Guo Xingmin to tell me directly that he had taken the child away."

"It would be fine if he took me away, but he didn't even come to see me. I can imagine what he was thinking!"

Jiang Shoucheng gritted his teeth, looking as if he wanted to eat Guo Xingmin alive.

When Tian Kang heard this, his eyes flickered, and then he hesitated to express his guess.

"Boss Jiang, Master Liu... Liu Xiaojun is most likely dead."
