Chapter 1342 Professor Xiao

"Chu Huaishan was upset because he had not found the murderer of the Yan family tragedy, and his temper was much worse. Moreover, the affairs of the Yan family were widely spread in the capital. Everyone said that the Yan family must have been harmed by the four major families of Chen, Lin, Shui, and Chu.

"Although the facts are not true, gossip can melt gold. Many people even took advantage of the issue to slander the four major families. However, the Chen, Lin, and Shui families are not in the capital, so even if they are slandered, what they hear is very limited. The Chu family is different. No matter where they go, they can hear such discussions.

"What's worse is that because of this incident, the Chu family's business has plummeted. Many customers have cancelled their contracts, and it has become very difficult to conduct business..."

Yin Jiao spoke slowly and at a long pace before explaining why the Chu family wanted to move out of the capital.

"It's really unpleasant to be stabbed in the back every day. At the beginning, the old lady made the decision to move out of the capital and move to Bincheng."

After hearing this, Pi Yangyang finally realized that the Chu family was actually driven away by rumors.

"Even now, there are still people who believe that the bloody case of the Yan family back then was inseparable from these four major families. If they want to clear their name, they must find the key to the treasure kept by the five major families back then, which is five identical jade pendants..."

Yin Jiao finally said with a helpless sigh.

Pi Yangyang's heart moved. Two of the five jade pendants were now in his hands.

He determined that the other three pieces were in the Black Temple.

However, he had no idea what the Black Temple was like or where its lair was.

"I understand." Pi Yangyang nodded. "The truth will come out one day. Don't worry too much."

Yin Jiao smiled bitterly, "It's been more than 20 years. How easy is it to find the murderer?"

Pi Yangyang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how many years have passed, I will find them and use their blood to comfort the souls of my Yan family in heaven!"

Yin Jiao's expression became serious, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she nodded and said, "Okay, I have finished what I came to Beijing to do. My flight is tomorrow morning, you don't have to see me off, I will go to the airport by myself."

Having said that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Pi Yangyang was surprised and said, "Even if we go back tomorrow, we still have to eat dinner tonight, right?"

Yin Jiao shook her head, "No need, I haven't been back to the capital for more than 20 years, I want to go for a walk alone."

Pi Yangyang looked at Chu Ge in astonishment. Chu Ge nodded and said, "Let her go for a walk. After all, she hasn't been here for more than 20 years. Besides, she likes to be alone."

Pi Yangyang nodded and had to give up.

"Chu Ge, since you plan to stay in the capital, I will temporarily arrange a house for you. How about you live here first?"

Then he said to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge nodded and said, "Okay, just make the arrangements as you see fit."

Pi Yangyang asked Yan Qian to contact Lan Bowen and ask him to arrange a house for him.

…………

After leaving Qi Fu Tianjin, Yin Jiao did not return to the hotel, but took a taxi to the gate of a residential area in the city.

She stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, and finally made a phone call.

"Dongmei, I'm right at the gate of your community. Is Professor Xiao home? I want to go see him."

A woman's surprised voice came from the other side immediately: "You came to Beijing? My father is at home, and I am here too, just come in."

After hanging up the phone, Yin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, tidied her hair, and then walked into the community.

She was very familiar with the neighborhood. She came to a building, got in the elevator, and pressed the button for the eleventh floor.

Xiao Dongmei was already standing at the elevator entrance waiting for her.

When she saw Yin Jiao, Xiao Dongmei immediately gave her a big hug.

The two of them were classmates, and Xiao Dongmei's father was their teacher.

"I thought you would never come to Beijing again, and I was sad for a long time. I wanted to go to Bincheng to find you, but... my dad can't leave me now..."

It took a full minute before Xiao Dongmei let go and stared at Yin Jiao and said.

Yin Jiao smiled and said, "If it wasn't for chance, I really wouldn't have come. I'll talk about this later. How is Professor Xiao now?"

"What else can I do? He is getting more and more confused. He doesn't recognize anyone except me. Even my husband and my son have been beaten by his cane."

Xiao Dongmei said with a sigh.

Yin Jiao showed a worried look and said anxiously, "So, it's already very serious? Is there nothing the hospital can do?"

"This disease is hard to control, let alone cure. I had no choice but to quit my job and stay at home to take care of him."

Xiao Dongmei said helplessly.

Yin Jiao said, "You quit your job? Then... why don't you hire a nanny?"

"Hire a nanny?" Xiao Dongmei smiled bitterly again and shook her head, "I hired two, but my dad chased them away within a day."

Yin Jiao frowned immediately, "Come on, take me to see him."

When they entered the house, they saw an old man, leaning on a cane in one hand and holding a kitchen knife in the other, looking for something with a confused look on his face.

While searching, he muttered: "Dongmei, there are guests coming. Don't we have an old hen at home? Kill it and feed the guests..."

Xiao Dongmei rushed over, snatched the kitchen knife, and said, "Dad, the old hen is not at home. She is downstairs. I will ask Jianmin to bring it up later."

"Well, don't neglect the guests and make people laugh at me..."

The old man muttered something again, then looked at Yin Jiao.

When Yin Jiao saw him like that, her eyes became hot and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Professor Xiao, do you still recognize me? I am Yin Jiao..."

She said with a choked voice.

This old man is Xiao Dongmei’s father, their professor in college.

Professor Xiao did not answer, but walked towards Yin Jiao with his crutches.

Xiao Dongmei looked nervous. She quickly put down the kitchen knife, walked up to Yin Jiao and stopped her father.

"Dad, she was your student, don't you remember her?"

She looked at Professor Xiao and said nervously.

"My students?" Professor Xiao was stunned for a moment, staring at Yin Jiao, and said in confusion, "I'm not a teacher, where do my students come from?"

Xiao Dongmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed to a group photo hanging on the wall and said, "Look, this is our graduation photo. You are the fifth one in the first row...

Professor Xiao adjusted his glasses and turned to look at the enlarged graduation photo.

This was put there intentionally by Xiao Dongmei because he always forgot that he was a teacher and only remembered it when he saw this photo.

"Oh, I'm a teacher..." He looked for a moment before he suddenly realized.

"The seventh person in the second row is Yin Jiao... The person next to her is Tong Xiao..."

Xiao Dongmei pointed at several people in the photo and introduced them one by one.

"Tong Xiao... She is Tong Xiao. I know that one. Her name is Yan Tianrui. He is a young master..."

Professor Xiao identified carefully, and suddenly pointed at Yan Tianrui in the photo and said in surprise.

Yin Jiao said in surprise: "Professor Xiao still remembers Yan Tianrui?"

Xiao Dongmei nodded and said, "He only remembers Yan Tianrui, and he doesn't remember the others."

"That's right. Yan Tianrui was a young master and a top student at that time. It's normal for him to be impressed."

Yin Jiao nodded and said.

"Yin Jiao, I remember now, you liked Yan Tianrui at that time, right? Did you... get married later?"

Suddenly, Professor Xiao turned to look at Yin Jiao and asked with a confused look on his face.

Yin Jiao was immediately embarrassed and said, "You are wrong. Yan Tianrui likes Tong Xiao. They got married later and you even went to the wedding..."

"Really? Married to Tong Xiao? Then who did you marry?"

Professor Xiao said this with a hint of regret, and then asked again.

Xiao Dongmei said: "Yin Jiao married Chu Huaishan, who is also your student..."

"Chu Huaishan? I don't remember..."

"Okay, take your time to think about it. I'll call Jianmin and ask him to buy some food. Yin Jiao will have dinner at our house tonight..."

Xiao Dongmei helped him sit down and then said.

Yin Jiao said thoughtfully: "Professor Xiao's condition, I don't know if he can cure it..."
