Chapter 162 The So-Called Truth

"Since it is a dark history with a fatal blow, they will definitely hide it well. It is not easy to find something. Moreover, compared with theirs, our strength is simply to hit stones with eggs." Su Yunuan's concerns are not unreasonable.

Xu Ningjing was also worried about this. Her father had few connections left to her. It was already very difficult to resist Mos and the others' attack. If she had to take the initiative to find their evidence of their crimes, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Ou Yan didn't care. In his eyes, there was nothing that could not be solved, but he hadn't found a way. "So you didn't think of the way to kill someone with a knife? You have to know that there will be rivals when there is competition, and we are not the only one who wants them to fall."

Yes! Why didn't she expect it! Xu Ningjing's eyes lit up. "You know that this is simply a breeze."

Xu Ningjing walked to the bookshelf and took off an old-looking notebook from the top shelf.

"This is my father's notepad, I have never read it. I think there will be a clue here."

She kept this notebook well, but she had never opened it before, because she was afraid of hurting the memories she was most reluctant to remember.

Ou Yan and Su Yunuan were both hesitant and did not step forward. After all, that was the other person's **. They were outsiders, so it was too rude to read it rashly.

Xu Ningjing glanced at them and said, "Come here, it's okay. You are just helping me, and my father won't mind."

The brother and sister walked over.

This notebook records some daily trivial matters, but my father told me before his death that he must not lose them, so Xu Ningjing has kept them properly to this day.

The thick notebook records some things that her father started after he was fifteen years old. No matter big or small, he records them in detail. You can imagine how rigorous her father is.

"This notebook is very secretive. Now no one knows its existence except the three of us."

Born in such a huge and prominent family, she needs to be careful in everything, so her father will record these things secretly.

The whole article was in some of the local slang. Su Yunuan struggled to read. She rubbed her eyes and gave up. "You guys read it, I can't understand it."

Not only Su Yunuan, but Ou Yan also felt a little tired. Although he had been in the UK for a long time, he was definitely not as good as a person who lived here for the rest of his life.

Xu Ningjing closed the notebook and had to say, "Let me do this, let me first filter out useful information, and then let's discuss it together."

"It's good to do this, but it will also miss some of the most inconspicuous but most critical information. It's okay, let's read it together, and you can explain what you don't understand." Ou Yan rubbed his temples and said softly.

"Okay. Xiao Nuan, if you are tired, you can take a break first." Xu Ningjing found that Su Yunuan had always looked lazy recently, as if she didn't have enough rest time.

Su Yunuan yawned and smiled embarrassedly, "Then I'll go and have a rest first, call me if you have something to do."

After saying that, he left the study room, leaving only Ou Yan and Xu Ningjing, and patiently studying the notebook left by his father.

Earl Omdo, the father of Xu Ningjing, made an exception at the age of fifteen and was awarded the title of viscount by the queen. He is the most respected young man in the Gulant family.

Judging from notepad, Omdo's relationship with the other two brothers began to change from this time, especially his elder brother Moss, who could not bear the younger brother who was actually a title before him.

The improvement of status means an increase in loneliness. What people say is too cold to the top, and it is not without reason here. Omdo has been alone since then, and his temperament has become a little withdrawn.

I'm afraid this is also a motivation for the Count to record daily trivial matters to enjoy the long and lonely life.

Xu Ningjing obviously didn't expect that such a gentle father had such a sad past, and his eyes were red.

"Since I have decided to read these pasts, I must be stronger." Ou Yan said while looking up at the contents on his notebook.

"Yes." Xu Ningjing took a deep breath, then slowly vomited it out, calmed down her mood, and continued to look down.

Earl Omdo was a genius in architecture, and Rose Castle was designed by himself. At that time, the Queen entrusted him with the responsibility of building a world-class landmark building in London.

Before the building could be built, the Queen revoked the plan, and Omdo, who was in charge of the matter, was also imprisoned and deprived of his title, almost unable to save his life.

The reason for the incident was suspected of embezzling huge sums of money, and engineering materials were inferior as good ones, cutting corners. In the end, the matter was found out and proved that Omdo was innocent, which saved his life.

This incident hit Omdo, and it was depressed for a long time before he cheered up again. The notebook did not record what happened. It was just a brief overview of the result, and perhaps he was unwilling to record this dark past.

But Ou Yan felt that there was something else. Although he had never contacted Earl Omdo himself, through this notepad, Ou Yan could probably guess the count's character.

He is definitely an open and honest person. He will never bury this past because of embarrassment. I am afraid that even he himself will not know the truth of the matter.

At the age of twenty-eight, Omdo was awarded the title of knight again, and this time it was even more sensational. The Queen directly awarded him the title of earl. Moss, who had been working hard for the title, missed the title again.

Most of the records in the notebook are about Omdo's personal experience. Regarding people like Mos, they only describe the increasingly tense relationship between them, and then there is nothing else.

Moss finally got the title as he wished, because at this time, his father, the old Count, was terminally ill and would not let go. The title of Count was naturally inherited by Moss' hereditary.

Earl Omdo recorded in his notebook: "My father's sudden death made me feel confused while shocked and sad. But I would rather believe that my father is the destiny of heaven than doubt anyone. I am afraid that the truth I doubt is unbearable for everyone, and my father will definitely not want to see such a result. It would be better to let this quiet place in heaven..."

Seeing this passage, Xu Ningjing couldn't help frowning, "If the old earl's death really has a hidden secret, then Mos will definitely not escape."

"Your father didn't say who you are doubting, don't be limited in your thinking from the beginning." Ou Yan frowned. The old count had passed away for too long. Even if something was strange, it was impossible to verify it.

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly rang out in the house, "Miss, the mayor is here to visit and said there is something to say." Leng An's calm voice rang outside the door.

Xu Ningjing quickly closed the notebook and put it back in its original place. "I know, come here immediately."

After saying that, he glanced at Ou Yan and asked in confusion, "I don't know what he is here to do."

"It's been several hours since an accident happened, and he has to give you an explanation."

As for what explanation, it depends on what he wants them to know. Ou Yan took the lead and walked out, "Let's go, see what he says."

In the living room, the mayor was a little restless and seemed very nervous, and even couldn't handle a tea.

"Mayor, you are finally here." Xu Ningjing helped Ou Yan and walked in slowly.

The mayor looked out the door and immediately stood up, "Miss Xu, I'm so sorry. I heard that you and Mr. Ou were injured. Are you seriously injured?"

Xu Ningjing rolled her eyes and pointed at the eye-catching bandage on Ou Yan's leg, "Can you see it? Do you think the injury is serious?"

"This... I'm so sorry!" The mayor wiped his cold sweat and sat down carefully. "This is all my negligence. The government will bear the losses caused to both of you."

"Of course you have to bear it!" Ou Yan sat aside and was not talking, so Xu Ningjing took over the talk work.

The strong low pressure caused the mayor to dare to expose his atmosphere. This invisible sense of oppression was the source of the silent Ou Yan.

I heard that he is a small influential figure in China. If he is willing to make things bigger and rise to the height of international friendship, his career will end there.

"Yes, yes, we will definitely bear it, don't worry, you two." The mayor smiled and agreed, suddenly remembering the main purpose of his trip, so he sat up straight and rushed to the topic. "About this accident, the preliminary investigation has already achieved results."

After saying that, the mayor glanced at the two people opposite him, one was closing his eyes to rest, and the other was staring at him, urging him to speak quickly.

"The shark has been sent back to safety. As for how it came in, we found that the copper used to intercept at the end had already broken a big hole. I think the shark sneaked in after it broke through the copper."

"Don't copper be reinforced regularly? Why does this happen?" Xu Ningjing asked back, wanting to do whatever she wants, there is no way!

The mayor was stunned, "This...this..." hesitated for a long time before he said, "This is an internal negligence, and the relevant personnel have been detained."

"Even if it is disrepair, copper will not be so fragile. Mr. Mayor, how long have these people been lazy and how big loopholes have they taken to cause such a situation?" Ou Yan, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his eyes and forced the mayor to speak in silence as soon as he opened his mouth. "Don't you check these safety facilities regularly? Why didn't you find out in time?"

The mayor was sweating in cold sweat and sat on the sofa, speechless for a long time.

Xu Ningjing sneered and asked, "Did it be that the mayor only know that there is such a big loophole under his command?"

"Indeed, I only knew it." The mayor frowned, with a serious expression on his face. "I trust these people too much, but I didn't expect that they would be in a nest of snakes and rats."
