Zhong Liting nodded slightly.

He wasn't interested in what the message said, but since he was from the Hua family, he should know more about the situation inside.

The young man responded and went straight to attract people.

Xu Ci stayed in this inn for a few days, and those people said they would send him to the Hua Family Army camp, but they blindly trapped him in this inn.

He didn't know who these people were, but he had a faint feeling of falling into a wolf's den.

As for where they were going to lead him and who they were going to meet, Xu Ci had no idea, but he also knew that it was useless to refuse.

Not wanting to say much, Xu Ci followed them along the corridor to the other upper room of the inn.

It's daytime now, and there are no people in the corridors all the way, it's quiet, it's obviously cleared by people.

When they arrived at the place, the young man who led the way pushed open the door to make way for him, and looked at him, "Please."

Xu Citai stepped into the room, walked around the screen of the inn, and saw a figure with a veiled hat in front of the window.Judging by his clothes and figure, he should be a powerful young man.

Xu Ci walked over slowly, his gaze resting on the white bamboo hat, and he said softly, "Master, do you want to see me?"

Zhong Liting turned around listening to the movement, and suddenly, his feet stopped.

Looking at the face in front of him that resembled him, Zhong Liting lost his mind.

Xu Ci: "Master?"

Zhong Liting's eyes under the veiled hat closed, and the things buried in the depths of his memory suddenly broke out, pushed away the dust-sealed cover, and quickly grew into a piranha with a bloody mouth, and bit on it with a click. his heart.

After being in a daze for a while, Zhong Liting found his voice after a while, "Sit."

Xu Ci didn't move, just looked at him.

Zhong Liting didn't force anyone. He was silent for a while, then turned around and stood with his back to the person. He closed the window in front of him before he said, "What's your name?"

"...Xu Ci."

"Xu, Ci." Zhong Liting chewed the name in his mouth, and then asked again, "Where is your ancestral home?"

Xu Ci, "..."

In my memory, I seem to have been interrogated like this before.

Do all these rich and well-off sons and brothers like to check people's household registration?

"Ancestral home." Zhong Liting repeated, and the sense of coercion on his body inadvertently seeped into his words.

Xu Ci let out a sigh of relief, "...Jiankang."

"How old are you?"

"It has passed the weak crown."

They are all aligned... It seems that something is being peeled off layer by layer.

Memories and reality surged in his mind, Zhong Liting held on to the edge of the window to stand firm.

Zhong Liting closed his eyes, paused, took a deep breath, and opened them again, "Where are your parents?"

Xu Ci lowered his eyes, "...they are all dead."

"...Is your mother's surname Xu?"

"Ah?" It was the first time someone asked him this, but Xu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "My lord investigated me?"

Zhong Liting repeated word by word: "Answer me."

He seemed to chuckle, but he didn't seem to smile: "That's right, I follow my mother's surname."

His biological father is unknown, and he took his mother's surname from as long as he can remember, but later he went to Jiaping due to the war, and his mother remarried, but he didn't change his surname.For this reason, when he was very young, those children on the street beat him, scolded him, and called him a bastard, and his ability to fight was cultivated from that time.

He was probably used to it, and he didn't feel much pain when he opened the scar this time.

An inaudible sigh resounded in the room.

Xu Ci suddenly clenched his fingertips and clenched his fists.He didn't even need to look, he could imagine the inconceivably superior sympathetic gaze of the other party at the moment, like looking at ants.Might as well be outright mocking.

In fact, he really hates this kind of arrogant sympathy. In essence, what kind of misery does this kind of high-ranking, noble son raised by many stars and raised by gold piles of jade know?

After a moment of silence, the gentleness that always pretended to be good still suppressed the darkness in his heart. Xu Ci slowly looked at the back in front of him and said, "Is there anything else you need to do, Master? I don't know who you are and what you want to do , but I have already redeemed myself, I am not a member of your museum, now I am entrusted by others, so naturally I want to..."

Zhong Liting turned around suddenly, "What did you say?"

Xu Ci was taken aback: "...I was entrusted by someone?"

"last sentence!"

"I redeemed myself, not in your museum..."

The string called rationality broke in Zhong Liting's mind, "You..." He didn't know what to say, and it took him a while to say, "Are you short of money?"

After understanding the meaning of his words, Xu Ci suddenly said, "I'm not that slutty... I was...forget it, don't mention it."

He is a man, he has also read some books, knows some etiquette, righteousness and shame, no matter how poor he is, he will not sell himself.

That slight voice made Zhong Liting wake up suddenly, "I'm sorry... I was the one who made a slip of the tongue just now..."

Xu Ci's eyes were a little sneering, "Young master, you don't think that so many women in your restaurant are all willing to take the bait, right? In that kind of place, there are many methods of torturing people. Breaking hands and feet, and suffocating in water are easy. of."

Because he refused to give in, he was even drugged. If he hadn't met Hua Ru when he fled to the street, he might have lost his face in the street.

The room was dead silent.

Zhong Liting did not know.

He was far away, and he only knew that half of the people in the museum were his own people, who got information among Zhou Rao's upper class, and the first group was a real cover that was actually bought.

But this incident suddenly gave him the idea of ​​destroying Nanfeng Pavilion.

Looking at the person in front of him who suddenly fell silent, Xu Ci was slightly startled.

What kind of human relationship did he talk about with these rich and precious young masters? How could he provoke such a person?The person who coaxed him to get away and go to the Hua Family Army was the one.

"I made a slip of the tongue," Xu Ci suddenly softened his tone, he slowly lowered his eyelashes, his handsome face also drooped, and he bowed slightly, with a dignified and apologetic appearance, "Please forgive me, my lord."

Zhong Liting stepped forward to help him in two steps.

Xu Ci looked at the person in front of him, and the corner of his jaw that flashed under the hood, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

His fingers couldn't help climbing onto the bamboo hat on Zhongli's face, "Why is the young master still wearing a veiled hat when he entered the house? Isn't it boring?"

Zhong Liting didn't stop him, and turned his head slightly, allowing Xu Ci to lift his hat.

Their eyes met, and the two looked alike as if they were looking in a mirror.

Xu Ci's mind went blank for a moment, and he took a step back.

The light veil of the veil could not be grasped and slid across the stiff fingertips, and the veil fell from his fingertips with a clang.

The blood on Xu Ci's face faded away in an instant, turning pale. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him with a hint of horror, his scalp numb uncontrollably.

How come, how come it looks like this?The one in front of him was clearly his face.

How can this be?

He is not the face of the public, why does this person look exactly like him?
Xu Ci's body trembled, this kind of thing was too unbelievable.
