Chapter 934: The News Overheard
General Tower No. 78.
Li Jiangnan carefully sneaked, avoided the cameras at the four corners of the villa, and took advantage of the dark night to climb up the terrace on the second floor from behind the villa.
He hid in the dark shadow in the corner in time, released a spiritual sense to search for the internal situation of the General Building.
In the general's building, Li Jiangnan's spiritual sense did not find his father, nor did he find his half-brother Li Chengping, and Li Chengping's mother, Mrs. Ning.
In the lobby on the first floor, there were two men in bodyguards in black suits, sitting there playing checkers.
In the study on the second floor, there was an old man who looked like a housekeeper using a feather duster to clean the dust on the bookshelf, and a young maid was wiping the bookcase and desk with a rag.
Apart from these four people, there was no one else in this general building. Li Jiangnan was a little confused. It was already very late now, why was the owner of this general building not there?
Dingling, Dinglingling, at this time, the phone in the study rings.
When Li Jiangnan heard the phone ringing, he focused his mind in time and used his spiritual sense to pay attention to observation.
The old man who looked like a housekeeper walked to the desk and answered the phone for a while. Li Jiangnan's spiritual sense could vaguely hear it. There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, as if saying:
"The Li family... the old man... needs to prepare... the birthday gift..."
After all, Li Jiangnan's spiritual sense was not strong enough to hear clearly, and the subtle voices from the other end of the phone were heard.
However, Li Jiangnan's spiritual sense could clearly observe how the old housekeeper responded.
The old housekeeper seemed to be listening to the master's orders. After listening to the phone for a while, he nodded repeatedly and responded respectfully: "Okay, please don't worry, Mrs. Ning, we will prepare well here."
"Also, when will you and your husband come back?"
"Discount guests have been visiting each other during this period. Some of them have been here several times. They said that there are important matters that need to be discussed with Mr. Li, but..."
The old butler's head was interrupted by the other end of the phone, so he had to nodded again and said, "Okay, OK, if those distinguished guests come to visit again, I will tell them as you said: Mr. Li's body needs to be recuperated, and he will not come back in the near future, and there will be no guests."
After the old butler hung up the phone, he obviously sighed deeply. Then he stood in front of the desk, not knowing what he remembered, and shook his head there again.
"Uncle Fu, Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning have been living in Hongxiulou for more than two months, but they still refuse to live back. I have never seen this before. Why is this?"
The young maid put down the rag and came to the old housekeeper.
"How do I know why? I am not the worm in their belly, how do I know so much?" The old butler named Fu Uncle complained, picked up the feather duster and continued to clean the dust on the bookshelf.
The maid came to the old housekeeper with a rag, wiped the bookshelf, and talked to the old housekeeper, saying, "Uncle Fu, there is something I don't know if I should say."
"I always have a feeling that Mr. Li seems to have become a different person, which is a bit different from Mr. Li in the past."
Uncle Fu glanced at her and asked, "What do you say?"
The maid stopped the rag and opened her eyes seriously and said, "Do you remember? More than a month ago, when Mr. Li's throat was uncomfortable, Young Master Li came back from a disaster outside. He was drunk. As soon as he entered the door, he fell into the hall and smashed the Song Dynasty porcelain bottle that Mr. Li liked very much."
"I was mopping the floor in the living room at that time. I thought Mr. Li was in trouble now. Mr. Li would definitely be furious at him. At least he would lock him in the house and keep him in ten days and half a month."
"But I didn't expect that after Mr. Li heard the movement in the living room, he just came out of the study room, stood upstairs and took a look, and then went back to the study room without even going downstairs."
The maid opened her eyes wide and said strangely: "Is this strange? According to the master's temperament, the master has become drunk and has broken his porcelain bottle. How could the master not get angry?"
Uncle Fu thought for a while and said, "Maybe Mr. Li saw that the young master was drunk and didn't want to pay attention to him."
"Maybe it might be some other reason. In short, it is a good thing that the master did not lose his temper with the master. Don't think about it."
The maid opened her eyes wide and said, "But it's not right. There is another thing that makes me feel that after the master got sick, he seemed to have become a different person."
"Do you remember the master's diary?"
"In the past, as long as he went out, no matter where he went or how long he went, he would never leave his diary."
"But those days he wanted to accompany Mrs. Ning to live in Hongxiulou. When he went out, he forgot to bring his diary. It was only after I saw it in the study that I picked up the diary and ran out in a hurry and handed it over to him."
The maid said uneasyly: "Uncle Fu, I suspect that the master's condition is not as simple as the health care doctor announced it to the public."
"After the master got sick, his temperament changed drastically. I doubt that something went wrong with the master..." The maid opened her eyes wide and pointed at her head with a serious expression.
The old housekeeper named Fu was both angry and funny after hearing this, and said, "Don't mess around anymore. Mr. Li is in good health and has no illness or disaster. Even if he is a little sick, he will return to normal sooner or later."
"Now I don't allow you to think about it all the time, just do your own thing. By the way, Hongxiulou just explained that you should prepare the birthday gift of the old man of the Li family. You have to take care of this matter..."
On the terrace, after Li Jiangnan overheared the situations they said, he had some thoughts in his mind.
It seemed that the man was in poor health. According to the young maid's words, he became ill and then his temperament changed drastically.
According to Su Zhan’s opinion of Mrs. Ning during his lifetime, Li Jiangnan had reason to suspect that the man might have been tampered with by Mrs. Ning, which resulted in such a change in temperament.
In addition, Li Jiangnan now knows that it is no longer realistic to secretly contact the man in this general building.
The man and Mrs. Ning both lived in "Hongxiu Tower". As for where Hongxiu Tower is, Li Jiangnan has no idea yet.
Considering that the risk of alerting the snake was too high, Li Jiangnan did not intend to arrest the housekeeper or maid and asked him about the news he wanted.
