Alice's Dream Club

# 8. Hidden things

Even breathing proves that Steward Shi's life is worry-free, Li Yangji shook his head and sighed softly, his face gradually sank.

Taking out his cell phone, he dialed a number.

"Come to my place."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and sat on the sofa, staring quietly at Steward Shi lying on the ground without saying a word.

Not long after, several people in cleaners' uniforms pushed a cleaning trolley to Li Yangji's office. They also kept silent, and after exchanging glances with Li Yangji, they hid Steward Shi in the cleaning room. Inside the cart.

He pretended to clean up for a while before leaving, and left Li Yangji with something that looked like a document when he left.

He opened the file bag and spread the information inside on the coffee table. After a brief understanding of the contents, he picked up the phone again.

This time it was Wen Xia's deep voice that came from the other end of the phone receiver. Li Yangji mentioned the emotions that had been brewing for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Wen Xia, I know you don't want me to get involved in Xiao Yuan's affairs, but I have something Something has to be told to you."

"What's up?"

Mentioning his son's relationship, Wen Xia's voice suddenly raised a few degrees.

"It's Uncle Shi..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Sighing, Li Yangji made his tone look a little sad and suspicious: "I got some information through my own channels, how about this, specifically, should I send it to you, or you come to the company? The result of these investigations is still yours. It’s better to see for yourself.”

"You are waiting for me at the company."

After finishing speaking, Wen Xia hung up the phone.

After arranging everything properly, Li Yangji finally showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

That Butler Shi was originally one of those who hindered his plan, and now he took the initiative to deliver it to his door, which also saved him a lot of trouble in making arrangements.

After waiting for a while, Wen Xia's figure appeared outside the door of Li Yangji's office. She seemed to have rushed over very eagerly, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her chest heaved violently with her rapid breathing.

"Uncle Shi, what happened to him?"

"Come and see for yourself."

Stepping aside, Li Yangji brought the documents laid out on the coffee table into Wen Xia's sight, and while she was reading the documents, Li Yangji also closed the door of the office.

Wen Xia saw Li Yangji's serious expression as she read more deeply, and when she finished reading all the content, she also leaned on the sofa in a daze.

"How is it possible... How could Uncle Shi do such a thing..."

"I think so too," Li Yangji sat next to Wen Xia and held her hand, "but all the investigation evidence points to Uncle Shi, and I just called Uncle Shi, he..."

"What's up with him?"

"I can't get in touch," Li Yangji shook his head and frowned, "Not only can't we get in touch, even the house is empty, as if he disappeared suddenly."

Wen Xia stared blankly at the piles of "evidence" on the table for abducting Xiaoyuan, and didn't know how to speak for a long time.

Uncle Shi regards himself as his daughter, and even Xiaoyuan as his own grandson. He usually asks Uncle Shi to accompany Xiaoyuan when he is away. There was a quarrel once in the past, and I still used my bad attitude to make Uncle Shi leave my side temporarily, and now I suddenly said that Uncle Shi was most likely the suspect who kidnapped Xiaoyuan... Wen Xia couldn't believe it.

"In any case, hand over this information to the police first."

Wen Xia stood up slowly, the blow caused by the collapse of the only support made her look even more haggard at this time.

"Wen Xia, I..."

"I want to be alone now, Yankee, please leave me alone for a while."

"……All right."

Watching Wenxia leave, Li Yangji closed the office door again.

He returned to the previous state where he planned to push all the problems on Steward Shi, poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the forged documents on the coffee table, and smiled more and more proudly and confidently.

After roughly understanding the situation, Lynch felt that it was time to notify the trader to formally sign the contract.

He took a step forward, and the moment the soles of his shoes touched the floor, the surrounding space suddenly changed into the reception hall of the club under the rippling change of water.

At this time, the three of Alice were already in the hall. Except for Alice, the faces of the other two were somewhat confused.

"It seems that the problem really lies with Li Yangji."

Alice greeted Lynch, she took the coat that Lynch had taken off, and asked softly.

"So now I need to notify the trader to complete the transaction?"

Lynch nodded, and threw himself on the broken sofa that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"Can you tell me what happened specifically?" Mu Xinyi asked.

"What else can happen," Lynch stretched his waist, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth, "at first glance, it seems to be a problem of greed for property, but since the child has been 'solved' first, now the history The butler will 'clean up', and if nothing else happens, Li Yangji will take action against the trader in the next step."

"Understood."

With a clear answer, Mu Xinyi turned around and walked towards the gate.

Seeing that Mu Xinyi turned her head and left, Lynch immediately asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's to protect the trader." Mu Xinyi was quite puzzled by Lynch's reaction, "You asked the three of us to stare at the trader just to protect her. Now that we have come to this conclusion, naturally we must Let's do our part before the deal closes."

Hearing this, Lynch glanced at Alice who was about to call Wen Xia, and Lynch said in surprise, "Does our family still have this rule?"

Alice did not respond immediately, but first issued an official notice from the club, and after putting down the phone, she picked up the recording board hanging on her chest.

While flipping through the above content, Alice said uncertainly: "...Theoretically, there shouldn't be any."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyi's eyes stared immediately: "Wait a minute, then what did you say that the half-immortal has let us protect it?"

Putting down the recording board, Alice showed a very sweet smile to Mu Xinyi: "That can make the image of the master look more upright and stalwart."

Mu Xinyi: "..."

"Okay, the trader will come here later." Lynch sat up and pressed his fingers together, and his eyes narrowed as he thought about it, "I always feel that there should be something hidden behind this..."

Just as Lynch was pondering a deeper relationship, Wen Xia also woke up suddenly after the voice of the message suddenly echoed in his mind.

She looked around and didn't find anyone who had talked to her, and in the stupor she was in just now, she was sure that she heard that voice.

He suddenly recalled the mysterious place he had just been to today, turned his head inexplicably to look at the end of the street, and a villa like his own home suddenly came into view.

After being stunned for a moment, Wen Xia finally let out a long breath.

She didn't tell Li Yangji that she had been notified by the club, and walked alone to the weird villa that no one around her noticed.

There was no hesitation in her steps, nor did she change her decision.

The door was pushed open, and the difference from the last time he came was that the person in charge was standing in front of him.

"Just now……"

"Sit down and talk, please."

Following the young man's motion to sit down, when he spoke again, the parchment scroll reappeared in front of him.

"The evaluation has been completed, and the club has decided to accept your chip from the guest. If the guest has no objection, then please..."

"Well, can I change it?" Interrupting Lynch, Wen Xia knew that there was something wrong with her statement, and hurriedly followed up to explain, "Don't get me wrong, I mean can you... on this basis... just... help I'll investigate the truth..."

"Guest, the first rule of trading is equivalent exchange. Your request now is another content, so please forgive the club for not being able to agree to your change request."

"is that so……"

Wen Xia was very concerned about what happened to Uncle Shi, so he wanted to see if the investigation could be an additional clause.

But being rejected is also expected, and after the child comes back, it doesn't matter whether you know the truth or not.

It's just... Xiaoyuan suffered a lot. Originally, I wanted Uncle Shi to take care of Xiaoyuan after he left.

"If you are sure, then please sign the contract."

"Um."

With no more extra thoughts, Wen Xia wrote her name on the signature column.

The content of the transaction reappeared in the mind, and every time the parchment was burned, the content of the transaction was more and more engraved in the consciousness.

The parchment turned into stars, and Lynch spoke again.

"Then, guest, you can go back now and wait for the result. When life is gone, your child will return to you."

"……Thanks."

Yiyan got up and came to the gate, Wen Xia stopped for a moment and finally opened the gate silently.

Until now, she still has doubts about this club, whether this place is really what Li Yangji said.

The moment he opened the door, he saw his own house, and when he realized this, he turned around suddenly, but behind him was the door leading to the courtyard.

After a moment of silence, instead of thinking about the club or the content of the transaction, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

Rather than being confused about these things, she might as well investigate the matter herself. In any case, she didn't believe that Uncle Shi would do such a thing.

It was the same as the second generation's reaction to the transaction processing when he first arrived. After Wen Xia left, Mu Xinyi asked the same question.

"Isn't it rash to decide to complete the transaction?"

Shaking his head, Lynch narrowed his eyes.

"That's why I said 'at first glance'. The essence of the matter is far more interesting, and if it weren't for those who came to 'handle' Steward Shi, even I would have been kept in the dark."

As he spoke, Lynch took out a badge from his pocket, and the other three present were somewhat familiar with the force represented by that badge.
