Chapter 2989 Clues

The sun was scorching the desert, turning it into an oven. Five people stayed in a fixed position for nine hours, and they were all dehydrated.

On the other side, Xiao Yi took Jiang Wan and walked leisurely in the desert. There was plenty of water. On the road, they met a camel team and exchanged some food for them.

The two of them rode camels leisurely in the desert to see the scenery. There was no one more comfortable than the two of them.

At this moment, Xiao Yi and Jiang Wan, each riding a camel. The camel driver was very enthusiastic. Knowing that Xiao Yi and his team were in trouble, he gave up the camel to carry the two of them.

Following the camel team, camels are the best means of transportation in the desert. Jiang Wan had seen Xiao Yi and the camel driver muttering for a while before.

"Xiao Yi, what did you say to them just now?"

"Oh... nothing, I gave them some medicinal herbs collected along the way in exchange for two water bags."

Xiao Yi handed one to Jiang Wan. The water bag contained clean water and could be drunk with confidence. Jiang Wan was really thirsty at this moment.

Everyone helps each other. If you just take things from these people for free, you will definitely feel embarrassed.

"If that's the case, Xiao Yi, why don't you leave some money for them?"

"That's not necessary. The local people are simple and honest. If you bring a bottle of wine to drink with them, they will treat you as their own family."

Before, Xiao Yi had dealt with these people a lot, so he knew this rule.

"But if you take money out, they will think you have a problem and look down on them. Money doesn't have much effect here."

"So that's the case. I didn't expect that there is such a place in China."

"There are so many places you don't know. If you have a chance next time, I will let you see the bravery of the grassland people."

Xiao Yi said. Jiang Wan knew that there would be no next chance, but she still pretended to be very happy in front of Xiao Yi.

"Okay! It's settled. You must take me with you next time."

Riding a camel and eating the unique things of the people here, dried meat and some flatbreads called naan, it was much easier along the way.

Soon they will pass through this desert, Xiao Yi knows it is time to prepare, the sixth sense tells Xiao Yi that there is danger ahead.

"Xiao Ze? How come you have seen him?"

When Xiao Yi mentioned a person's name, Jiang Wan naturally knew it, but shouldn't the Xiao family's people stay in Xiao's house and be forbidden to enter China?

"I met him once before, and I almost died in his hands. He is also a member of the Xiao family."

Xiao Yi wanted to investigate Xiao Ze's identity, but he had no way to find out, and the only one who knew was Han Batian.

However, in order to protect Xiao Yi, Han Batian had already made a decision and cut off contact with the Xiao family. Now Han Batian is also unaware of some things in the Xiao family.

"That's right. According to the rules of the Xiao family, this Xiao Ze is your younger brother. You are the eldest brother among the younger generations of the Xiao family."

"I don't have such a younger brother who deliberately wants to kill me."

"If you say so, this Xiao Ze is not your younger brother strictly speaking."

Jiang Wan said. The same sentence had two meanings. Xiao Yi was a little puzzled, but then Jiang Wan said.

"You think it's strange, right? Listen to me first. This Xiao Ze is Xiao Huaizhi's adopted son. Xiao Huaixin has some physical problems and he has no reproductive function."

"So that's the case. This Xiao Ze was adopted by him. With what happened before, I suspect he was secretly doing something."

"It seems a bit impossible. The Xiao family's family rules clearly state that people from the Xiao family are prohibited from entering China and interfering with China's affairs."

The Xiao family does have such a rule. They are already living in another world. What happened in China has nothing to do with them.

It's just that under such a clear prohibition rule, some people are bound to take risks. Xiao Yi has met Xiao Ze once before.

"That's the rule, but if it wasn't for the Xiao family, how could my grandfather die?"

"What? Was your grandfather's death also caused by the Xiao family? How did you know about such an important thing?"

"It was Xiao Ze who said it himself. He said that he was instructed by the head of the Xiao family to send someone to assassinate my grandfather."

This was the first time Jiang Wan heard about this. She was not as impulsive as Xiao Yi.

She frowned slightly and calmly analyzed the cause and effect of this matter. Suddenly, she noticed something unusual.

"I don't know whether the Xiao family killed your grandfather, but I can be sure that it was definitely not instructed by Xiao Huaili."

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm not trying to exonerate him. Xiao Yi, you can think about it. If Xiao Huaili knew about you and your grandfather, would he let you go?"

This is a question worth pondering. If Xiao Yi's identity was exposed, Xiao Huaili would do whatever it took to get rid of Xiao Yi, even if it violated the rules of the Xiao family.

But in fact, this was not the case. With Jiang Wan's reminder, Xiao Yi also realized that there was a place on his first floor.

"As far as I know, Xiao Huaizhi is best at endurance. After Xiao Huaili became the head of the family, he stripped him of all his rights and put him under house arrest."

"You mean, this was done by Xiao Huaizhi?"

"I'm just making a guess. Xiao Huaizhi has always wanted to find an opportunity to get back what belongs to him, the position of the head of the Xiao family. I don't believe he won't be tempted."

Xiao Yi thought about it seriously. If what Jiang Wan said was true, then his fourth uncle was simply too terrifying.

After learning of his existence, every step had been planned. If Jiang Wan hadn't reminded him at this moment, Xiao Yi would still have been kept in the dark.

"It turns out to be like this. His real purpose is to use me, but... who is the person who wants to kill me now?"

"We can only ask the real culprit behind the scenes. No matter how hard Xiao Ze works, the position of the future head of the family will not be occupied by an outsider."

Jiang Wandao, in a big family, bloodline is more important than anything else. Even if Xiao Ze is extremely capable, he is just the adopted son of the Xiao family after all.

"It seems that even if there is danger ahead, I have to go there myself. This time I will find out who is hiding behind the scenes and see what kind of person he is!"

Xiao Yi stared into the distance, the truth was right in front of him, he was already prepared, and a plan emerged in his heart.

"You can follow the camel team and leave first later. This situation is too dangerous. I can't take you on an adventure together. After I solve the problem, I will naturally find you."
