Chapter 333 The inscrutable Simon (2)
Chapter 333 The Unfathomable Ximen (Chinese)
"Xiao, okay, you go down and rest first." Ximen smiled strangely on his face, then looked at Lei Hu and Xiao Lei, and finally his eyes fell on Lei Hu: "I'm sorry, my subordinates are a little rude. Are you also here to visit Uncle Tian?"
Lei Hu spat: "Who are you? This is the Tian family, why are you pointing fingers!"
Ximen was not angry at all: "You can call me Ximen. As for now, Uncle Tian has ordered me to preside over the matter here for the time being before resting."
Lei Hu turned his head and looked at the manager named Gu. Seeing that his expression was a little strange, he nodded slightly and realized that what Ximen said was true. He snorted: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll see my uncle Tian, I care where you came out!"
Ximen smiled strangely, but his eyes had already left Lei Roar and fell on Xiao Lei: "Uncle Tian has rested now, but you must not be outsiders. It's all my subordinates who were too reckless just now. Please follow me now."
After saying that, he actually nodded to the general manager named Gu and said in a steady tone: "Sorry, General Manager Gu, please find someone to clean the stairs. Don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb Uncle Tian's rest."
After going upstairs and entering Tian Zhen's room, Xiao Lei couldn't help frowning.
This is a room arranged completely according to the hospital's special care unit, and there is an isolation room inside!
Through the glass, you could see Tian Zhen closed his eyes and was sleeping on the hospital bed inside. Gauze was wrapped around his chest, and several medical instruments were placed in the room, and some tubes were inserted into Tian Zhen's body.
"Don't worry, Uncle Tian's injury is not too serious. The doctor just gave him a little sedation so that he could take a break and suffer less pain." Although Ximen's words were very stable, his eyes were staring at Xiao Lei.
Xiao Lei also looked at Ximen, with a mocking smile in his eyes. Both of them seemed to understand each other's identity in their hearts, but they pretended not to know each other. Lei Hu didn't have that much thought, so he pulled over a medical staff in white next to him and asked a few questions carefully. Then he looked at Ximen coldly and said, "Where is Ke'er?"
Ximen smiled slightly and said, "Ke was a little scared and now he has gone back to his room to rest." After a pause, he said, "There is also a female nurse around her to take care of her, so you can rest assured."
Lei Hu snorted and looked at Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei had no expression. Lei Hu couldn't bear it and said, "Who did this? Do you have any clues?"
Ximen sighed, smiled bitterly, and actually said something that surprised Xiao Lei.
"I'm afraid... I'm going to blame for this matter." Ximen seemed to have a little apology: "I guess that this assassination was actually aimed at me... I have encountered this assassination method several times, and it was my enemy, but this time I accidentally involved Uncle Tian."
Lei Hu was obviously a little surprised by Ximen's answer. However, Xiao Lei immediately understood that Ximen said this on purpose to the Tian family members present.
After all, with the current power of the Tian family and the Tian family has not formed any serious feud with any force recently, no one should assassinate Tian Zhen. Everyone can think of this principle, but Ximen seems to be open-minded when he speaks it so frankly.
The Tian family's subordinates couldn't say anything, and the general manager named Gu even comforted him: "Mr. Ximen, you don't have to feel guilty. If you weren't by your side today, the master would probably be even more dangerous."
Ximen sighed and actually had a solemn expression: "After Uncle Tian was injured, in front of everyone, he told me to help him temporarily preside over the situation at home... Alas, I am an outsider and should not have done this, but since Uncle Tian believes in me, I always have to do my best. I have sent someone to investigate the assassination, but unfortunately there are no clues yet... But if it were my old enemies, I guess they would come to the door again. That's why I ordered that there was no guest at home, which was also for safety reasons."
After all, Lei Hu was simple-minded and asked stupidly: "I don't believe it! Since it is your enemy, why are you assassinating my Uncle Tian?"
Ximen smiled slightly and said, "This is probably a warning to me. Maybe it's not willing to see our Ximen family and the Tian family unit... After all, I believe you know that I'm about to marry Miss Ke'er."
He clearly said this to Xiao Lei, and even his eyes fell on Xiao Lei.
After hearing this, Xiao Lei had no expression on his face. He suddenly smiled and said, "I want to see Ke'er."
Most of the people from the Tian family next to them knew Xiao Lei and knew the relationship between Xiao Lei and his own lady. Seeing that Xiao Lei actually asked to see the lady in front of his decent fiancé, his face was a little strange.
Ximen looked as usual, and just glanced at Xiao Lei, and replied easily: "Of course."
After he said that, he smiled again and explained, "I am also a guest here after all. If you want to see Ke'er, you don't have to ask me. As long as she is willing to see you."
It is obvious that Ximen has already obtained a position similar to the temporary manager in the Tian family, and this position is very stable - it was Tian Zhen's order in person in front of everyone after his injury.
Xiao Lei could only sigh in his heart. Tian Zhen was either really blind or had other plans. Anyway, Xiao Lei couldn't understand it for the time being.
Ximen looked generous and took Xiao Lei to Ke'er's room himself.
Of course, everyone cannot enter the eldest lady's boudoir - of course, Ximen's identity is the future son-in-law of the Tian family. Everyone knows the relationship between Xiao Lei and the eldest lady, so naturally no one can say anything.
Xiao Lei winked at Lei Roar and asked him to stay in the room and watch Tian Zhen.
Xiao Lei was still very familiar with Ke'er's room. He walked up the stairs and Ke'er's room was right in front of him. When he pushed open the door, there was a warmly decorated living room inside. The curtains had already been put down, but there was a woman wearing white professional nursing clothes sitting in the small living room. Xiao Lei looked over at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
This woman wearing white nursing clothes and pretending to be an angel in white is actually the charming and coquettish vampire, Eve!
Eve's face was full of professional smile at this moment, and even his eyes, which were once full of charm, seemed to be as clean as if they were not impurities!
This woman has such a good acting skills... Xiao Lei sighed.
But this matter is strange enough...Ximen arranged someone to be with Ke'er, and Xiao Lei was not surprised. But...If nothing unexpected happened, the organization behind Eve was the one who assassinated Tian Zhen. Ximen actually arranged Eve in the Tian family, which was really a bit fucking.
"This is a professional nursing lady Alpha." Ximen's eyes were steady, without any flaws: "Her nursing level is the top internationally. Now she is temporarily taking care of Ke'er's daily life. Ke'er's mood is a bit unstable. During the day, she fainted from crying."
"Miss Alpha..." Xiao Lei muttered these words in his heart. Damn, he was too lazy. Since he was pretending, he didn't even change his name, which was too unprofessional.
But his face looked calm and he nodded at Eve.
Because Xiao Lei appeared in his true form this time, Eve did not recognize him, but said in a professional tone: "Miss is resting in the room. She is a little excited. I just took some sedation medicine and may be asleep now."
Ximen nodded: "Okay, Miss Alpha, you go out first."
When Alpha went out, Ximen suddenly had a strange smile on his face, turned his head to look at Xiao Lei: "Don't you want to say anything?"
"What did you say?" Xiao Lei asked back with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao Lei, I know a lot about you and Ke'er, and I also have a little understanding of your magical things." Ximen sighed: "Now in this room, there are only two of us. Don't you want to say something to me?"
Xiao Lei curled his lips and said, "What do you want me to say?"
"Well... For example, if I were you, I would doubt who assassinated Tian Zhen." Ximen smiled and said, "At least, have you never doubted me in your heart? Or, according to the general idea, would I have taken away the property of the Tian family, killed Tian Zhen, and then married his simple daughter to achieve my goal..."
Xiao Lei laughed and said, "I think you are a third-rate movie about the grudges of wealthy families, have you watched too many... Humph, you? You assassinate Tian Zhen? Can someone who can take over the senior Vatican knights as his subordinates watch the world's money and power?"
"Ah... I almost forgot that according to your experience, you have dealt with the Vatican knights, and more than once." Simon smiled: "Arise, the former Paladin Lafayette should be under your protection now. And the Andrei Paladin who was ordered to pursue Lafayette has never returned to the Vatican to retaliate. According to our affirmation, he has returned to the Lord's arms. Is it your masterpiece?"
Xiao Lei smiled, squinted his eyes and said lightly: "What? Or do you want to avenge that paladin?"
"Don't get me wrong." Simon shook his head: "Even if you want to take revenge, the Vatican will send special soldiers. I have no interest in avenging the proud Andre... In fact, I don't like that guy either."
Xiao Lei stopped talking, pushed open a door next to the small living room and walked directly into Ke'er's bedroom.
Ke'er was already asleep, lying on the bed where Xiao Lei had lying last night, her hair was spread softly on the pillow, and in her sleep, her brows were frowning gently.
Xiao Lei sighed, feeling a little sad. He strode to the edge of the bed, looked at Ke'er carefully for a while, reached out and gently stroked her face.
Ximen had no expression on his face and was just standing at the door.
Xiao Lei suddenly chuckled softly, turned to Ximen, and sighed deliberately: "I'm sorry... can't you avoid it first? I'm going to kiss my lover now. I don't like someone watching when kissing."
The muscles in the corners of Ximen's eyes twitched slightly, but then a smile appeared on his face, and he looked up and down at Xiao Lei: "Oh... I thought you were an opponent worthy of my respect... Now you really disappointed me... Don't you know that it is a very disgraceful thing to kiss his fiancée in front of a man?"
Xiao Lei rolled his eyes directly: "Nonsense, you are a gentleman, I am just a rogue."
Ximen sneered, and then said lightly: "Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. I'll wait for you outside. I think we have a lot of things to talk about."
After saying that, he actually retreated and gently closed the door with his backhand.
Seeing the door closed, a trace of seriousness appeared in Xiao Lei's eyes.
