Chapter 1717 The Fourth Member of the Shangguan Family

Besides the three of us, is there another person in the study?

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xiangnan's heart moved and he immediately became alert!

After arriving at Shangguan's house, the housekeeper informed them and Li Xiangnan and Song Zimo were led by him to the study to visit Shangguan Wuji.

During the entire conversation, there were indeed only him, Song Zimo and Shangguan Wuji in the study!

So what does Shangguan Wanqing mean by this sentence at this moment?

Is there someone else in the study?

When this thought came up, Li Xiangnan's mind instantly retreated, recalling the scene in Shangguan's study just now!

At that time, his attention was all on Shangguan Wuji, and he indeed ignored the details of the environment!

There was no way. He had two main purposes for visiting the Shangguan family this time.

One is to mediate with Shangguan Wuji as much as possible and get more information about the Mu family to help him find out the truth of that year.

The second thing was to meet with Shangguan Wanqing and find out why she failed to go to Hongluo Temple yesterday.

Li Xiangnan achieved the first goal, but failed to achieve the second goal because Shangguan Wanqing was confined to her room by her father.

But Li Xiangnan is smart. Being in a family like the Shangguan family, which is likely to be a rival, he has formed an inertia and has a natural desire to examine the surrounding environment with all his heart and soul.

I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but when Shangguan Wanqing reminded me of it, many details suddenly jumped into my mind, like an alarm, presenting the scene at that time in 3D in my mind.

The first is the choice of location.

Although this was Li Xiangnan's third time entering Xishan Farm, today was his first time entering Shangguan Wuji's study.

The last time I followed Guo Qian to Shangguan's house, I was received directly in the living room.

But this time he was arranged to stay in the study, and Li Xiangnan actually had some doubts.

Because he and Shangguan Wuji had no private contact, it can be said that they had no personal relationship, nor could they be said to have a relationship where they felt like old friends.

The study is a relatively private space. Generally, people who have a weak relationship or even those who are interacting privately for the first time will not arrange to meet in the study.

Not to mention the Shangguan family, which is the leader of the five top families in Yanjing and the family that attaches the most importance to traditional etiquette.

Shangguan Wuji arranged to meet in the study. Now thinking back, Li Xiangnan felt that the choice of this location was inappropriate.

He most likely chose to be in the study for some purpose.

In addition, as a doctor, Li Xiangnan has performed countless surgeries and is particularly sensitive to spatial perception.

He participated in the design of factory and building drawings for Nianwei Hospital, Biopharmaceutical Factory, and Clove Factory. He even saw the specific detailed drawings of Anjia's five-star hotel.

Naturally, you will know whether there is any problem with the volume of a house, a study or a space.

The Shangguan family's study, behind Shangguan Wuji, has a bookcase that takes up an entire wall, eighty centimeters deep, and is filled with books.

But when Li Xiangnan went upstairs, he noticed the area of ​​the living room and the corridor stairwell. The area on the first floor did not match the space on the second floor!

In other words, there is still hidden space in the study on the second floor.

At least behind the bookcase, there is an area that has been turned into a secret room.

Of course, it is also possible that the secret room leads to other areas on the second floor, but the unequal areas show that Li Xiangnan’s suspicion is correct.

Now, combined with Shangguan Wanqing's words, it is very likely that there is a secret room built in the study, and someone is peeping at Li Xiangnan, examining Li Xiangnan, and observing Li Xiangnan.

To verify his guess, Li Xiangnan slowly ate his noodles and asked, "Wanqing, have you seen that person?"

According to normal logic, Shangguan Wanqing is the daughter of Shangguan Wuji. She has lived in the Shangguan family for so many years, and she sees people everywhere. She should have seen the fourth person in the study.

But when he asked this question, Li Xiangnan felt that his question was not right.

Since Shangguan Wanqing asked herself if she had sensed anyone else instead of directly saying the other person's name and appearance, it was very likely that she did not know the other person.

really!

Shangguan Wanqing shook her head, as if extremely afraid of something, and suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Xiangnan, since I was a child, I have often noticed another figure in my father's study, but I have never seen that person. The housekeeper and no one else in the family can approach the study without permission! Even I can't!"

At this point, she reminded: "That person is like a ghost, living in our house all the time!"

"..."

Li Xiangnan frowned. The information Shangguan Wanqing gave was very complicated.

It contains her childhood memories, her subjective judgment, and Shangguan Wuji's habits!

He likes to stay in the study and often communicates with the mysterious man.

So, did Shangguan Wuji take that person's opinion into consideration in some of his actions or behaviors?

The mysterious man is a military advisor?

Think tank?

and so……

Today's visit to the Shangguan family caught Shangguan Wuji off guard. He had no time to respond, so he could only choose to have the conversation in the study, hoping that the mysterious man could give him some advice and respond flexibly after he left?

Following this line of thought, Li Xiangnan suddenly became more alert.

If this person has lived in their house since Shangguan Wanqing was a child, was he involved in the affairs of the Mu family back then?

Is this mysterious person involved in the search for the Mu family's account books?

In other words, what is his relationship with Shangguan Wuji?

Will it be a leading role?

Was it his idea to monitor the Li family, study the Li family, and approach the ruins in the recent Mu family explosion?

Shangguan Wuji still wants to listen to him?

"Xiangnan, I feel like something big is about to happen. I've been feeling uneasy lately..."

Shangguan Wanqing suddenly reached out and grasped his hand, and the affection in her words that went beyond ordinary concern was already very clear.

Hey!

At this moment, the sound of rolling stones suddenly came from outside the store.

Shangguan Wanqing retracted her hand abruptly like a frightened deer, and her face turned pale instantly.

Li Xiangnan frowned, his eyes fixed, and gestured to Song Zimo who was standing in the shadow opposite.

The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense.

Shangguan Wanqing stood up, with fear and reluctance in her eyes. "I have to hurry back to the pharmacy, otherwise Uncle Jin will get suspicious if he doesn't see me when he comes back..."

Li Xiangnan saw that beneath her heroic exterior, she was revealing a long period of torture and vulnerability. He felt a surge of sympathy and said, "Give me a pen!"

He tore off the newspaper on the table and quickly wrote down a recipe.

"This is a prescription for calming the mind and nourishing the brain. Go to the pharmacy and get another dose. Take good care of your body and don't overwork yourself!"

Shangguan Wanqing took the newspaper and lightly touched him with her fingertips. She quickly withdrew her hand as if she was burned, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, Xiangnan. I will definitely try my best to help you find out what your father is trying to do! And who is that mysterious man..."

After saying this, she seemed to have gathered up her courage all of a sudden, and quickly reached out to brush away the non-existent dust on Li Xiangnan's shoulder, her movements gentle and intimate, "You must be careful!"

After saying this, she didn't dare to look Li Xiangnan in the eye again. She quickly left the noodle shop and walked into the street.

Looking at the direction she left, Li Xiangnan's eyes were deep.

The touch of her coolness still lingered on my wrist, and the faint scent of orchids she exuded lingered in my nose.

Shangguan Wanqing's way of treating herself, which was contrary to the entire Shangguan family, surprised him and moved him even more.

This brief meeting also allowed him to learn some deep secrets of the Shangguan family from Wanqing, which was a great gain for him.

"Boss!" Song Zimo waved to the shopkeeper as he entered the room. "Give me a bowl of noodles!"

After sitting down, he said while stroking his chopsticks, "Someone is following Miss Wanqing. He's quite skilled. I couldn't catch up with him!"

Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised at this moment.

"You are wrong, that person is not following Wanqing, but following me!"

"???"
