Wishful Things

"The other party is coming for you. As a father, naturally, I can't put you in danger again."

Wu Jingming sighed slightly, and said earnestly: "After all, it's the same for the clan to investigate this matter. Your mother's health has just improved, so don't worry her."

"I'm in this capital city. Even if I go to investigate, there is no possibility of confronting the other party. What's more, the other party has already missed the opportunity to attack. It is neither a vendetta, nor is it just to kill me. Kill me, just staring at my life like this."

Wu Chao also sighed imitatively: "So, don't use your mother to oppress me."

Wu Jingming raised his eyebrows.

"Your grandfather just sent a letter today, urging you to return to Ningyang as soon as possible. Don't you even listen to his words?"

Wu Chao picked up the warm tea in his hand, took two sips, put down the cup of tea and said, "You don't have to see that your mother is not good enough, so you have to change your grandfather to suppress me."

Wu Jingming felt helpless when he heard the words.

If his own words were useful, why did he bring out his wife and old father?

Children who are too smart are not easy to manage.

"Or, grandfather doesn't want me to intervene in this matter?"

The words that made him even more troublesome came out of the young man's mouth. The young man looked at him and asked with searching eyes: "Father, is there something you are hiding from me?"

"What can I hide from you as a father?"

Wu Jingming seemed to have heard some joke, and looked at his son unexpectedly and amusedly: "It's just that I have lingering fears about your previous danger, and I really don't want you to take even the slightest risk."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "Father is old, he is not as bold as before, especially afraid that something will happen to you."

Wu Chao was silent for a moment.

Father reads well and does things well.

But there is only one thing - the words and demeanor when lying with close people are always slightly exaggerated and guilty.

But he didn't realize it himself.

As for why he didn't realize it, it was because no one at home had reminded him.

After all, this is not a bad thing for those close to the family, especially the mother.

Although he once felt that this "as long as I don't say it, you won't find out your own shortcomings" way of getting along was a bit unkind, but it didn't affect his tacit understanding with his grandfather and mother.

But the words have come to this point, the father is neither willing to say, nor is he a stalker, so he doesn't ask any more questions.

He only took a deep look at his father and said, "The son understands what the father said."

Wu Jingming's eyelids twitched slightly.

Hey, why does he feel that his son's eyes are more like-'the father is lying, the son can see it'?

No, it's not possible.

Wu Jingming quickly denied this guess.

Whether in the clan or in the officialdom, he is known for his calm and thoughtful manner in his actions and speech, making it impossible for anyone to see any flaws.

"If the father has no other orders, the son will go back first."

Wu Jingming nodded, looked at his worried son and confessed: "Remember what I said today."

"take note of it."

Just write it down and write it down, whether you listen or not is another matter.

The young man thought about it with peace of mind, got up, saluted and left here.

Seeing that the servant closed the study door, Wu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he barely managed to deal with this seemingly neat, but actually difficult kid.

However, there was a contradictory look of relief in his eyes.

This keenness and insight cannot be obtained only by careful cultivation.

Wu Chao went straight back to Fengqingju.

"Young master."

A young attendant waiting in the courtyard came over to salute.

Wu Chao glanced at him, nodded and said, "Follow me to the study to talk."

"yes."

The entourage followed Wu Chao into the study.

"After receiving the son's letter, the subordinates immediately left Ningyang. Before leaving the palace, the prince had ordered the subordinates to escort the son back to Ningyang as soon as possible."

Wu Chao sat down behind the desk, looked at him and said, "There is no rush to go back to Ningyang, the reason why I sent a letter to let you go to Beijing is because I have something to do."

Although there are people from Dingnan Prince's Mansion everywhere in Beijing, they all obey his father's orders. Of course he can be transferred easily, but just like those people in Xuesheng Tea House, what he does, his father will know .

After all, it's not as easy to use as your own.

Especially when his father deliberately concealed it from him.

"My lord, please tell me."

"It's strange that I encountered bandits on the way to Beijing before. These are the clues I got these days." Wu Chao took out the letterhead from a book on the case, "You follow these clues Go check--"

"The subordinate obeys."

The entourage responded and stepped forward to take the letter paper.

"Also, I want you to check Sui Shan's whereabouts."

Hearing this, the attendant showed surprise on his expressionless face.

"Sui Shan...didn't he die on the way to escort the young master to Beijing?"

"I guess he didn't die." Wu Chao's tone sounded casual, but with certainty: "At least he didn't die by those 'bandits'."

"Master, do you doubt Suishan?" The follower's expression was a bit complicated.

He called him Sui Jiang, and he practiced martial arts with Suishan since he was a child. The two experienced countless days and nights of cruel tests and selections before they were sent to the son.

The son trusts them, reuses them, and treats them favorably.

In all honesty, he didn't believe that Suishan would betray the son.

But since the son said this, he must have his own basis.

"I sent a letter back to Ningyang before, and someone secretly checked it out. Although the number of servants sent back to Ningyang is not bad, there is no Suishan among them."

The weather was so hot that many corpses were hard to identify, and there were some who resisted desperately to protect him, and were even injured beyond recognition——

But Ah Yuanding is a famous artist, and he is familiar with Suishan, so he can't make a mistake.

In other words, among those corpses, there was an unknown person who replaced Suishan.

This must have been done on purpose.

And the reason why he thought of asking someone to check the corpse was indeed because he suspected that he had gone to Suishan.

In that accident, he was sure that there must be a mole around him.

He was traveling outside, and all matters were arranged by Suishan. All the people in the group were drugged, Suishan, who has always been cautious, could not escape the suspicion.

Although he trusted his confidants, he believed even more in judgments made under reason.

Both Sui Shan and Sui Jiang are comparable to Sui Shan, especially Sui Shan, whether it is skill or ability to do things and means, to say that he is one in a million is to underestimate him.

To cultivate such an outstanding subordinate requires not only energy and material resources, but also luck and foresight.

The person who attacked him, since he is capable of being so clean, must be an extraordinary person, and it is not impossible to have the courage to secretly change Suishan's identity for his own use.

Or, Suishan managed to escape the opponent's silence.
