Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Chapter 167
Zhang Ling thought about telling her father and Yan Yuan about her current situation.

But then I thought about the security guards in the ancestral hall who couldn't understand human language.

Even if notified, it is impossible to be allowed to enter the gate of the ancestral hall.

She doesn't want to cause more people to worry about it.

Especially my father was old and couldn't stand the shock.

So she can only choose to rely on herself.

Do your best to calm yourself down.

She thought the police had at least one useful tip.

The gangsters wanted to create an incident where Zhang Ling didn't pay attention to let the child run away temporarily because the child was restless.

There is a high probability that Xiaodouzi will not be taken away from the ancestral hall.

Then she just needs to find out which part of the ancestral hall is most suitable for Tibetans?

wrong!

There is obviously a problem with this line of thinking.

As long as the security in the ancestral hall interferes, there is a possibility of hiding people anywhere in the ancestral hall.

The only clue now is the analysis of the escape path of the gangster who kidnapped Xiaodouzi.

So as to judge the real intention of the gangster.

The place where their mother and daughter were at that time was the flower garden beside the corridor to the west of the dormitory area.

Xiaodouzi ran from west to east towards Xiangtang.

Probably the child just wanted to leave the Li Family Ancestral Hall impulsively.

When she passed a gate, she could no longer see Xiaodouzi's back, and then she saw a person running away in panic carrying a wriggling sack.

The culprit led her around two corridors in the dormitory area, passed through several doors, and came to the enjoyment hall area.

Suddenly changed the direction of escape, from south to north, passed through several corridors, passed a pond, and passed a rockery.

Just when he was about to catch up with the gangster, another person suddenly jumped out to block her way.

It must be said that Zhang Ling was arranged by the family housekeeper to help deal with the dispute over wage arrears.

It doesn't count if you say something to me, and each one is arguing.

This tugging, that tugging made Zhang Ling dizzy for a moment, dazzled and lost.

These people seem to have achieved their goals.

Out of nowhere came another person?

Only then did the leader tell Zhang Ling that he had admitted the wrong person with a face full of shame.

Thinking of these things now, there are too many coincidences and too much deliberation.

I vaguely felt that the appearance of these people seemed to deliberately create an illusion for Zhang Ling.

She lost people near the rockery in the north of Xiangtang District.

Then Xiaodouzi must be hidden in a room where few people go near the rockery.

Zhang Ling suddenly smiled!

He muttered to himself:
"If I were an ordinary woman with no brains, I would definitely follow the logic designed by the other party. I would try my best to find Xiaodouzi in several courtyards near the rockery. Unfortunately, I am not!"

As she said that, Zhang Ling walked towards the dormitory area suddenly enlightened.

Came to the flower garden beside the west corridor where she and Xiaodouzi were at that time.

After analysis and investigation, she firmly believed that Xiaodouzi must be in the courtyard where the old patriarch lived.

The courtyard where the old patriarch lives seems to have no security guards.

When Zhang Ling wanted to enter any house in the courtyard at will, there would always be people jumping out from all directions to stop her from entering at will.

Even though she entered the yard for the first time and came to look for Li Xiang, she failed to enter any room.

So thinking about it now, Li Xiang probably didn't leave that yard.

When she saw the opportunity, she stepped into the courtyard where the old patriarch lived through the vertical flower gate again.

Hiding behind a big tree near the gatehouse, I didn't find anyone when I looked around.

It is said that the old patriarch lives in the main house, and there is a high probability that there will be no Tibetans;
There are other elders living in the east and west wings, and there is a high probability that they will not hide anyone;

Then only the ear room, which is generally used for storing sundries, is the most likely place to hide people.

Fortunately, the lush green plants in the courtyard made her come to the west ear room very quickly.

Through the window of the ear room, it is found that the decoration inside is luxurious and exquisite, exuding a feminine atmosphere everywhere.

When I got closer, I saw Li Xi's photos on the furniture in the ear room.

Apparently, this unexpectedly became Li Xi's temporary boudoir.

Zhang Ling's goal is not Li Xi.

Just as she was moving towards the east ear room.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the room.

"I said Li Xi, follow the plan I made for you. You have also re-established a good image with the old patriarch. Now you should fulfill your promise to me."

Zhang Ling only felt that this man's voice was very familiar.

Going back to the window and following the prestige, I only saw half of the man's back.

Who is this?

She couldn't tell just by looking at her back.

Since Zhang Ling guessed that Xiaodouzi was kidnapped, Li Xi was the second suspect.

Now I know that Li Xi is in the room.

She wanted to see if the culprit was Li Xi?

Li Xi snorted coldly and said:

"You still have the nerve to let me keep my promise? You agreed, you must help me become the head of the Li family this time. But the actual result made Li Xiang stole the limelight. I, Li Xi, grew up and got what I wanted. When did you suffer such a big fuss?"

Zhang Ling thought to herself that this person in front of her is the master behind the scenes who made Li Xi smart.

So she became more interested in men.

I saw the man trembling, and there was a contemptuous laugh, saying:
"When? Li Xi, I think you just healed your scars and forgot the pain. I don't remember the class reunion you organized last time. Did Zhang Ling steal the limelight? Oh, yes, there was also the shadow of Li Xiang at that time .”

Hearing this, Zhang Ling basically confirmed that the half-backed man was probably someone from a class reunion.

Who is qualified to be the master behind Li Xi?

She filtered all the classmates in her mind.

Make sure there should be no more than three people.

X branch president, Cong Yun, another student who knows how to eat in silence the whole time.

Isn't Cong Yun Zhang Yu's younger brother?
But Zhang Ling believes that smart people always push others to the most dangerous front.

And Cong Yun is so willing to be the safest behind-the-scenes person.

suddenly!

There was the sound of something being smashed.

Li Xi pointed at the man's nose and shouted:
"You... are bold! Don't you know who I am?"

Obviously, this woman is used to being arrogant!

Treat this similar sentence pattern as a mantra.

Not to be outdone, the man also shouted:
"Stop doing this to me! I'm not a member of your Li family, let alone the old patriarch of the Li family. I'm accommodating you everywhere. I'm not your subordinate Li Xi. It was a cooperative relationship that you asked me for help. Please let me know about this." You remember!"

"Okay, okay, very good!" Li Xi could clearly hear the gnashing of teeth, and then she seemed to think of something, and there was a bit of joy in her tone, "Haha, talking about the last class reunion. Didn't you That bitch Zhang Ling calculated to become a prisoner."

The man heard an obviously emotional yell here:

"Shut up! Don't talk about it. Didn't you and I agree at the beginning. Don't mention this matter in person. Why do you still mention it?"

Obviously, going to jail is a lifetime of shame for a man.

Hearing this, Zhang Ling was basically sure that the man with half the back was the president of Branch X.

Li Xi laughed triumphantly and said:
"Why can't you mention it? I, Li Xi, have to let you understand. I'm your great benefactor. If it weren't for me, you would still be eating pickles and porridge with clear soup and little water in prison."

"You..." The man's voice trembled, and he raised his finger to Li Xi's nose, but he didn't continue speaking as if he was at the end of his words.

A little while!

The man is still sensible, he spoke again in a calm tone:

"Let's get down to business."

"Then say it." Li Xi felt that he had the upper hand, and there was a sense of joy in his tone.

The man then said in a somewhat accusing tone:

"You shouldn't have brought Lao Zhou and Lao Liu here, whom Shangguan Aoxue found, and you shouldn't have ordered Lao Liu to appear in front of Zhang Ling's mother and daughter."

Li Xi didn't realize that he was wrong at all.

He also stubbornly tried to argue:

"What! I just want to confirm the accuracy of what Shangguan Aoxue said. Is there something wrong?"

"The idea is right. But next time you do something like this, please talk to me first, okay?"

"What's wrong with such a trivial matter? There's no need to discuss it with you."

"Is there anything wrong?" The man said with a sharp tone and agitated emotion, "I just got the news from Lao Liu that the girl named Xiaodouzi was kidnapped. You must have done this."

"What!" Li Xi's tone was extremely surprised, "You said that Zhang Ling's daughter was kidnapped? I don't know that!"

The man thought for a while and said:
"Whether you did it or not? From the moment you let Lao Liu appear in front of Zhang Ling's mother and son. Even if you didn't do this, it's now yours."

"It's over, it's over! What can we do now? I don't want to take the blame."

Zhang Ling clearly saw Li Xi pacing back and forth in front of the man with anxiety on his face.

Suddenly, Li Xi grabbed the man's hand with both hands, and continued with a pleading tone:
"You have also seen it. Li Xiang also attaches great importance to that daughter. If Li Xiang really misunderstands this, I will definitely be sent to prison again. Third brother, we are partners, please think about it for me Way."

Third brother!

The man who was called "Third Brother" in his classmates.

Zhang Ling never expected that she would be the expert behind Li Xi.

When I was in school, that "third brother" was a famous straight man.

She was often framed by clever classmates, and was often invited to the office by the dean and class teacher for a heart-to-heart talk.

It's hard to imagine that such a straight intestine has now become Li Xi's think tank!

Seeing Li Xi's flustered look, the third brother shook his head and let out a laugh and said:
"I really can't figure it out. With your guts, you dare to compete with Li Xiang for the position of patriarch. Be steady, be steady, please be more steady, please?"

Li Xi was ridiculed, and the pride she had cultivated naturally made her quickly return to that arrogant expression and said:

"What's wrong with being timid? I'm not a fool. It belongs to my rights and interests. I must fight for it, otherwise this is not me, Li Xi."

I thought the third brother would be amused by Li Xi's words.

Unexpectedly, he said to Li Xi in a calm tone:

"It's okay! It's not a bad thing for that little Douzi to be kidnapped. From this incident, we can know that there are still people who covet the position of patriarch and take risks."

"Do you know who kidnapped Xiaodouzi?" Li Xi asked suddenly.

Zhang Ling heard Li Xi's question.

It made her admire instantly.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling was not as foolish as she had shown before.

The third brother was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly appreciative tone:

"It's not difficult to know. How many people in your Li's ancestral hall can easily kidnap people under your Li Xi's nose?"

Li Xi thought for a while, then suddenly took a breath, and then said to the third brother:

"You mean my patriarch grandpa!"

The third brother didn't speak, just nodded and smiled dryly.

"That's not right! Grandpa patriarch, let Li Xiang inherit the position of patriarch on the front foot, and ask someone to kidnap Li Xiang's daughter on the back foot. What is he trying to do?"

Brother Ling never expected that Li Xi's intelligence would not last long.

How could you ask such a naive question in front of him?

why?
Even an outsider of his family could easily see the reason.

As a person in the game, Li Xi didn't have the slightest awareness.

Is this the so-called mystery of the authorities?

"What can I do? All of this is for you!" Third Brother explained.

"For me? Explain clearly. I don't understand." Li Xi said in a pleading tone.

The third brother shook his head and said:
"Do you still remember what your patriarch grandpa said the day you brightened and filled the score?"

"The patriarch grandfather said a lot that day. How do I know what you said?"

The third brother was a little speechless to Li Xi and said:
"He said that if your patriarch grandpa is gone, you will depend on Brother Li Xiang for the rest of your life."

"It seems that I did say that. So what?" Li Xi said.

The third brother thought that what he said was clear enough.

But Li Xi just didn't understand.

"Forget it, you will understand the old patriarch's feelings for you sooner or later."

The third brother complained in his heart, why hasn't he met such a grandpa before?

Zhang Ling heard this, and felt that if she continued to listen, she would not hear any useful information.

Just as she was walking away, someone accidentally knocked down the bamboo pole standing in the corner of the wall.

A crisp sound.

Many people in the courtyard came out from different directions to look around.

Li Xi didn't see Zhang Ling's figure,

Coincidentally, I saw a cat lying on the wall and barking.

So Li Xi scolded the servant in the yard for taking the bamboo pole away.

It was also because of the noise made by the bamboo poles that Zhang Ling had the opportunity to find out the conditions of basically all the houses in the courtyard.

She was sure that the old patriarch was not in the main room, and there were a few servants cleaning the room.

The doors of other rooms were generously opened, and people came out to check the situation in the courtyard.

Only the east ear room has not seen anyone come out.

Wait, the courtyard returns to calm.

Zhang Ling jumped out of a large tank without water in the courtyard.

As she crept closer to the east ear room, her heart beat much faster as if she had sensed the little bean.

You can even vaguely hear Xiaodouzi calling "Mom" non-stop.

For this reason, she rushed over quickly in three steps in parallel.

When the ear chamber appeared in front of her eyes, she looked back in disbelief to check her surroundings.

That's right!
This should be the location of the east ear room.

But Zhang Ling could only see the closed windows in the side room, and did not see any traces of passing through the door.

Could it be that the door of the side room is in the main room?

"Mom, help! What kind of place is this place? It's so cold, so dark, Xiaodouzi is so scared! Xiaodouzi knows it's wrong. I promise I won't run around again..."

The voice of Xiaodouzi calling for help, small but clear, came through the window.

Zhang Ling just wanted to reply to Xiaodouzi, "Mom is here."

But at the same time, the sound of approaching footsteps came from her ears.
