Chapter 2200 Boss Bai's Request

"Master Xiao."

"That's all I know."

"Old Bai has carried the jade ball with him for so many years, and I haven't heard of any strange things happening."

"Everyone joked that the jade ball would become an heirloom of the old Bai family."

“It’s passed down from generation to generation.”

"If this continues for a long time, it might really have a protective effect."

……

Boss Cai picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water.

After talking so much at once, his mouth was dry.

"Master Xiao?"

The silence on the phone made Boss Cai unable to help but speak out.

"I only get along well with Lao Bai on the surface. We don't have much contact in private, and what we know are things that everyone knows."

"Didn't I help you?"

……

"will not."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"I'm just a little curious about the jade ball."

"Boss Cai, thank you for telling me so much."

……

"Oh, Master Xiao, you are being too polite."

Although he felt regretful that he knew nothing, Boss Cai's face was soon filled with a smile.

"How big of a deal?"

"Why do I need Master Xiao to thank me?"

"Master Xiao, do you have anything else to ask?"

Boss Cai was still thinking about whether he could get more information from Master Xiao. "I will tell you everything I know."

……

"Nothing."

Xiao Xiao knew everything he wanted to know.

The jade ball was not obtained by Boss Bai recently, but was obtained from his father.

His father had owned this jade ball for most of his life.

And always carry it with you.

Consider it a talisman.

From this we can see that his initial guess was correct, and this jade ball did not cause any harm to the person holding it.

Then, he would have no reason to intervene.

……

"is it?"

Boss Cai couldn't control the disappointment in his tone.

"Cough cough~"

Boss Cai coughed a few times to cover up, "Master Xiao, if you have any questions later, you can call me anytime."

"I'm happy to help Master Xiao with his doubts."

"Of course, if I knew."

"unknown……"

Boss Cai touched his chin and said, "I will also try my best to get information for Master Xiao."

……

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "There's nothing else I want to know."

"If I need anything in the future, I will bother Boss Cai again."

"well."

Boss Cai said with a smile, "Master Xiao, please don't be polite to me when the time comes."

"I'm glad to be able to help Master Xiao."

……

After a few more pleasantries, Boss Cai hung up the phone.

He did most of the talking afterwards.

No.

It should be said that he was the one doing most of the talking during the entire call.

Although he didn't get any useful information, this phone call made him feel that his relationship with Master Xiao was a little closer.

It's worth it.

When their relationship becomes closer, he will probably tell him some of the things that Master Xiao doesn't tell him now, right?

……

Xiao Xiao put away his phone.

Boss Cai’s call came at the right time.

It just resolved the doubts in his mind.

……

As for the follow-up...

He hoped there would be no follow-up.

……

Unfortunately...it backfired.

Half a month later, Xiao Xiao answered the phone.

"Master Xiao." Boss Cai's energetic voice came from the phone.

"Boss Cai."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

I had a vague premonition in my heart.

……

"Master Xiao, are you available to answer the phone now?"

Boss Cai swallowed what he was about to say and asked instead.

"I may have to take up a little more of your time."

"can."

Xiao Xiao stood up.

Walked to the staircase compartment of the library.

A little cool breeze came in through the half-open window.

He narrowed his eyes slightly with some satisfaction.

……

"Master Xiao..."

After hesitating for a while, Boss Cai finally said, "Well, it's about Lao Bai."

".He came to ask me about you."

At this point, Boss Cai couldn't help but complain a few words, "Old Bai likes to beat around the bush."

"I met with him several times, and we talked about this and that..."

"I wonder why he's suddenly so close to me?"

Still wondering if Lao Bai has any business to do with him?
"He told me yesterday that he wanted to meet you."

He was stunned at that time.

After all this time, it turns out that this is the other party's purpose.

……

"what's up?"

Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky.

It's cloudy today and the sky is a bit gloomy.

However, after seeing so much clear blue in summer, this gray-blue is really eye-catching.

Boss Cai smiled.

He likes Master Xiao's straightforwardness.

but……

“He didn’t tell me what it was.”

He could understand why the other party did this.

Finding Master Xiao is definitely not an easy task.

If he had asked someone to find Master Xiao last time, he would not have clearly told the person he asked that there was a strange thief in his store who specialized in stealing shoes from customers... Such a strange thing.

Even if I know, maybe the other party has vaguely heard something about the situation.

Unless the other person has a very good relationship with him, he won't tell anyone.

I heard it is just what I heard.

But when it comes from the person involved, it is confirmed.

……

"Say you want to meet Master Xiao, and tell Master Xiao in person."

Boss Cai has been curious since yesterday.

From that guy's attitude towards Master Xiao last time, it can be seen that he doesn't like Master Xiao.

Only half a month had passed and people came to him for help.

Ok.

The other party's attitude can't be described as begging.

Just let him be a matchmaker.

Let Master Xiao meet that guy.

"I asked him to reveal even a little bit but he refused."

Boss Cai curled his lips and said, "If I hadn't dealt with Lao Bai for so many years, I would have known him well."

"I don't dare to help him casually, so I'll tell Master Xiao about this."

What if the other party’s request makes Master Xiao embarrassed or unhappy?
Didn't he mean well but end up doing something bad?

"Old Bai said it's not a big deal."

Perhaps because he saw his hesitation, Lao Bai finally explained a few words.

"He just has some questions he wants to ask Master Xiao."

"He said he was a little rude to Master Xiao the last time they met."

"Let me say something good for him. He also wants to apologize to Master Xiao in person."

Boss Cai sneered in his heart.

Now the words sound better.

Why didn’t you think of today when you adopted that attitude?

Thinking back to the situation at that time, Boss Cai was still a little angry.

What made him angry was that he had made his attitude towards Master Xiao very clear that day, but the other party turned a blind eye and continued to give Master Xiao a cold shoulder.

Old Bai did more than just not give face to Master Xiao.

Didn't give him any face.

"Heh, that guy also knew that his attitude that day was not good..."

Boss Cai muttered.

Then he resumed his voice, "Actually, I asked Lao Bai why he thought of asking Master Xiao for help?"
