Chapter 18 The Man in the Broken House (5)

Strong curiosity drove Xia Qian to quickly walk towards that door.

Chapter 15 The Man in the Broken House 4
Xia Qian gently pushed open the wooden door without any hesitation, and the inside was cleaned up very clean, as if someone lived there, and Xia Qian confirmed her thoughts in a flash, because there was indeed another person in the room besides her.

In front of him was an old man who looked a little older than Xia Jingkai. He was lying peacefully on the recliner at the moment. Xia Qian was a little surprised why he didn't get up to stop her when he saw her barge in.

Just as Xia Qian was looking at the old man, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and was also looking at Xia Qian. The woman in front of him was not very old. If he guessed correctly, it was another pawn in Xia Jingkai's hand.

"It's better for the girl to leave here earlier." The old man reminded Xia Qian with a surprisingly flat expression on his face.

"Who are you?" Xia Qian didn't respond to the old man's words, but looked at the haggard old man in front of her with a flat face. Could it be that he was related to the man in black that night.

He seems immobile?Because the old man lying on the couch hasn't moved a bit since she stepped into the room. It stands to reason that in such a weird place, the old man should have some reaction when she broke in as a stranger.

"You don't need to know who I am, but it's better to persuade the girl to leave earlier." After finishing speaking, the old man closed his eyes, intending to ignore Xia Qian.

"Why did Xia Jingkai lock you up here? Did you do that cough just now on purpose?" asked in a very casual tone.

Xia Qian found a place to sit down, looked at the neat and clean tea sets on the table, it must be cleaned here often.

The old man who had closed his eyes suddenly opened them, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting. He carefully looked at Xia Qian who was still childish but calm in front of him.

"Aren't you from Xia Jingkai?"

The old man asked with a hint of uncertainty, if the little girl in front of him belonged to Xia Jingkai, she wouldn't have waited so long before entering the basement, unless she didn't even know there was such a place.

That coughing sound was indeed intentional on his part. He had been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for people without internal strength to approach, and only those without martial arts might not be Xia Jingkai's right-hand man. He was not stupid enough to deliberately cause those guards to come down.

"She is my father." Xia Qian poured a cup of tea for herself, put it on her nose and smelled it, it was refreshing, it was really good tea.

The old man suddenly chuckled, "But you don't seem to regard him as your father."

Xia Qian, who took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in her hand, and slowly approached the old man. Every time she took a step, Xia Qian could feel the murderous aura emanating from the old man, but it was just a murderous aura, but it couldn't deter her.

Because she knew that the old man had no ability to do anything, and that murderous aura was only used by him to intimidate others.

"Xia Jingkai, what did you do to you?" While speaking, Xia Qian's eyes stayed on the old man's lap.
