Chapter 2233 Much the same 23.0

"Asking for help so early the next morning? That doesn't seem reasonable, does it?"

"Why is it unreasonable? What's unreasonable?" Yan Bo looked at Shen Cha and spread his hands. "I think it's a natural progression."

"Is it a natural outcome?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Then tell me!"

"Look, these two people didn't sleep all night, just sat in the lobby and talked all night long." Yan Bo paused, "Let me make it clear first, this is not what I said, this is what your second grandfather said himself, that they had a very in-depth chat all night. Maybe it was because they had a good chat this time, or maybe it was because they opened their hearts, they felt that they should have become closer to each other. Based on this relationship, it is not impossible for Miss Xiao to trust the second master and ask for help from him, right? After all, in this Jiangning Mansion, she only knows the second master as a friend who can talk to her."

"Your statement does make sense, but if it were someone else, I would not refute it. But the Xiao family, to be honest, I don't really believe it." Shen Cha looked at everyone, shrugged helplessly, and said, "We have dealt with the Xiao family a lot. Don't we know what kind of people they are? Let's not talk about others, just take Xiao Fengqi, is he someone who can trust others easily? No, right? The eldest lady of the Xiao family has been able to lead the entire Xiao family for decades and will not trust others easily. The two of them just chatted for an entire night. She can believe that a stranger can help her. Isn't it a bit far-fetched? This... is not in line with the usual style of the Xiao family. No, not just them, we ourselves may not be able to do it, right?"

"Indeed." Xue Ruitian nodded, "What Xiaocha said makes sense, but the fact is that she really said this, and Second Grandpa really helped."

"Because the Jiangning Mansion case cannot be handled in the usual way, and Second Grandfather and she should not be strangers." Seeing that Shen Cha was about to say something, Shen Haolin waved his hand at her, "Listen to me, I say they are not strangers. First, Second Grandfather saved her twice, and second, they had a candlelight night talk once. Although we are not very clear about what they talked about this time, one thing is certain, they get along very well."

"Brother, what you said makes sense. If we don't get along well, we probably won't be able to chat for that long."

"Yes!" Shen Haolin smiled and reached out to wipe the water stains from her mouth. "There is another thing. The Xiao family is very good at observing people's words and expressions. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family can observe the second grandfather's words and deeds for a whole night. She can judge what kind of person this person is, whether he will help her, or stab her in the back at a critical moment."

"Hmm," Shen Cha thought for a moment, "If what my brother said is true, one night should be enough."

"Yes, she is not someone who speaks easily. She must have thought about it for a long time before she made up her mind to ask for help." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, smiled, and said, "Of course, there is another more important point. If she doesn't ask for help from Second Grandpa, I'm afraid there will be no one else for her to ask for help, right?"

"Brother, this should be the key point, right?" Shen Cha sighed and said, "If she hadn't experienced this day, she probably wouldn't have thought of asking for help. She must have been scared. No matter what, she is also a girl. It is not easy for her to go through it alone without any help and come to a completely unfamiliar place."

"Yes, this Miss Xiao is also a person who has the final say in Linhuang Prefecture. I guess she never thought that she would encounter such a situation before coming to Jiangning Prefecture. In her opinion, a businessman, even a private salt business, dared to arrest people in the street in broad daylight. I think she was very scared after encountering these things, so she would have a certain good impression and trust on the person who saved her, and the person who saved her more than once." Yan Bo sighed softly and said, "Even if she knew that this person might have some intentions and selfish motives, but in the situation at that time, it was still the most important thing to save her own life. If she couldn't even protect her own life, she would die at any time and anywhere." "You are all right." Shen Cha was persuaded by Shen Haolin and Yan Bo. She sighed softly, "When life is threatened, it is still the priority to save life. If this is the reason, it is very reasonable. But, did Second Grandpa agree right away?"

"Of course not, but he didn't refuse. According to his own words, when the other party made this request, he was still confused for a moment. The first thing he thought of was to consult with Senior Li first and not make a decision on his own."

"Second Grandfather is right. If he agrees rashly, it might not be a good idea. After all, this inn involves the power of the Emperor's uncle."

"At that time, although your uncle was indeed the head of the family, he was still young and a young boy, and his prestige was not that high. The case of Jiangning Mansion was so important, and he was just assisting from the side. The main person was the old prince."

"Hmm," Xue Ruitian thought for a moment, "I remember that the old prince had retired for many years, and it was His Royal Highness the Eagle King who was in charge, right?"

"Yes, although he has retired for many years and few people have seen him, his prestige is still very great. To be honest, your Second Grandfather is still a little bit afraid of him, because before leaving Beijing, he went to see the old prince and was lectured for a long time. So if it involves the old prince, Second Grandfather will still consider it carefully."

"We really need to think about it carefully. The inn should continue to operate in Jiangning Prefecture. This point is very useful. We can't get rid of a secret agent just because of this case. It's really not worth it." Shen Cha thought for a while, "However, from Senior Li's point of view, it should be possible to agree, right? But the reason for agreeing cannot be so obvious."

"Exposed?" Jin Miaomiao thought for a moment, "It can't be that obvious, right?"

"Yes, in our opinion, this is helping each other, but we must not let Miss Xiao feel it." Shen Cha looked at Yan Bo, "What happened next?"

"Because the outside world was searching for Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao could only stay in the inn for a few days and did not go out. Those who were searching for her did come to the door of the inn. Senior Li and the waiter did not stop them. They let them search inside and outside for several times. When they didn't find her, they never came back."

"Should this be considered a feint to the east and attack in the west?"
