Chapter 769
Xiuzhi walked about a hundred meters, and her numb hands reached into the pocket of her thick coat. She felt that there seemed to be something inside, so she took it out to check.
But when she saw that they were several bank cards, tears immediately fell from her eyes.
There was also a note in the bank card, written by Lu Mian: Xiuzhi, be obedient and leave Country K.
The letter was short but the feelings were deep. Xiuzhi's eyes filled with tears when she saw this line of text. She secretly cursed that old man Lu Mian for being shameless. He was already so old and still wanted to be obedient.
What did he think of her? Or did he think of her as someone else?
But damn it, she was so touched, touched that he gave her all his life savings, touched by the worry and concern in his pale words.
Although both of them have worked in the Di family for many years, Lu Mian understands Di Guanwei better. It is precisely because of this deeper understanding that he persuaded himself to leave.
Because he was afraid that next time he bumped into Di Guanwei, he would not be as easy to talk to as this time and just drive her away, but would even want to kill her.
With trembling hands, he dialed Lu Mian's number, but no one answered until the mechanical busy tone sounded.
Finally, Xiuzhi hung up the phone, sobbing, and after sending him a message, she continued walking along the cold street...
At eleven o'clock in the evening, everything was quiet.
In a black car parked not far from the Di family, the starlight flickered and surged, hiding dangerous waves.
Di Tao sat in the car, smoking like crazy, his dark eyes staring at the time passing by on his watch, the sneer on the corner of his lips growing deeper and deeper.
Dad, in one minute, a surprise will come. Are you ready?
"Someone, there's a fire, put it out quickly."
The time was exactly the same as Di Tao's estimate. The panicked shouting broke the tranquility of the night, and more and more people in the Di family were woken up.
Di Guanwei, who has always had trouble sleeping, opened his eyes immediately. There was a loud noise outside. He couldn't hear the original words, but he could feel the panic and anxiety.
Suddenly, a bad premonition came to his heart. He took off his coat, put it on himself, and immediately opened the door to go out.
"Lu Mian, what happened?"
After going down to the first floor, Di Guanwei frowned and asked coldly.
Lu Mian's heart was stuck in his throat, and he stammered, "Xiao, Xiao, it's the ancestral hall, it's on fire, and the young lady is inside."
"What?" Di Guanwei felt a chill in his feet when he heard that. He quickly ran out and headed straight for the ancestral hall. For the first time, his face, which never showed any emotion, showed a sense of panic.
Ancestral hall? Mo Lan? Damn it, either one was something he couldn't afford to lose.
Di Guanwei was a strong-willed person all his life and could not bear the great crime of having the Di family ancestral hall burned down at his hands.
He was even more afraid that he, as the leader of the Di family standing at the top of the pyramid, would be stabbed in the back for the rest of his life.
And there is Mo Lan, she is the only bloodline of his Di family now. If something happens to her, how can he face his ancestors?
But the ancestral hall is heavily guarded, how did the fire start?
It's impossible for others to release it, could it be...
"Master, please take it easy and watch your step." Lu Mian hurriedly followed Di Guanwei to the door of the ancestral hall.
The two of them looked up at the magnificent place now covered with sparks, and their hearts twitched violently.
Lu Mian: Oh my God, the fire is so big, can the young lady be saved?
Di Guanwei: Damn it, if this fire starts, how can I face my ancestors?
"Second Young Master, someone come, someone come and save the Second Young Master." Suddenly, a low roar not far away attracted the attention of Di Guanwei and Lu Mian.
When the two looked over after hearing the noise, they saw Qiu Tai grabbing several bodyguards and yelling hysterically, looking extremely panicked.
Di Guanwei's premonition deepened. He quickly walked over and asked Qiu Tai sharply, "What's going on? Is Di Tao in the ancestral hall?"
Lu Mian and the servants gasped when these words were spoken. Everyone knew that Di Tao was not qualified to enter the Di clan ancestral hall, and Di Guanwei had also issued a strict order that he was not allowed to set foot in the ancestral hall. So what was the situation now?
"Master, the second young master rushed into the ancestral hall to save the young lady." Qiu Tai said.
Di Guanwei's body froze, as if struck by lightning.
Inside the ancestral hall, Mo Lan had already fainted beside the mat when Di Tao entered.
