Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 713 Scratches

"No." Tie Jinjue answered.

"Yes, so uncle, please don't worry about me." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue knew that just because he had a headache, it didn't mean it was the same for others, but since she said so, he didn't continue the topic. He asked Tie Hongyan, "You said that the smell in the ruins was like the smell of burning flesh, but it wasn't actually the smell of burning flesh. That means no one was burned to death in the ruins, right? When you checked the things in the ruins, you didn't find any signs of people being burned, right?"

“Nothing was found.” Tie Hongyan replied.

"If Ao Gong is okay, where could he have gone?" Tie Jinjue said.

Tie Hongyan said: "It doesn't matter where he goes. What I hope most is that nothing happens to him! Even if he refuses to provide any more clues, as long as he is okay, that's fine. When I saw the ruins yesterday, I felt really bad. I hope that this time his house became a ruin not because of the clues he provided me."

Tie Jinjue said: "He should be fine... I hope... I wonder when you can see him again."

"I think he might not want to see us anymore. We want to get clues from him, but it's actually very difficult for him. After all, he was forced to sell blankets before and was controlled by someone. It would be dangerous for him to provide us clues. From my feeling, no matter how high the price tempts him, he will not be willing to put himself in danger again. He has seen us before, and we had weapons in our hands. In addition to the temptation of money and the fact that we helped him, he provided us clues to a certain extent because he had no choice. He knew that we knew martial arts. If he could avoid seeing us again, he probably wouldn't." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue said: "That is to say, the clue of Ao Gong is basically broken at present."

Tie Hongyan said: "You can say that, but things are not absolute. Maybe one day there will be another chance... As long as nothing happens to him, it's fine."

Tie Jinjue said "hmm" and looked down at the Gu Jian. He was just looking unconsciously, but he found something. He said in surprise: "Huh? This Gu Jian is the one I lost a long time ago!" "How did uncle find out?" Tie Hongyan asked.

He pointed at the mirror and said, "Hongyan, look, there are a few fine scratches on the back. I scratched this pattern on purpose before."

"Won't a scratch like this affect its function? Why would you scratch it on purpose?" Tie Hongyan asked curiously.

"It won't affect the function. Jinqi and I both reviewed it back then. I drew this pattern just to distinguish it from Jinqi's." Tie Jinjue said and fell into memories.

"Oh." Tie Hongyan's face darkened, sadness revealed in his eyes, and he didn't continue speaking.

The meeting room was quiet for a moment, and Tie Jinjue finally came out of his memories. Seeing her sad expression, he said, "Hongyan, are you missing your mother again?"

"Yeah." Tie Hongyan said, "I can't forget the first time I saw Gu Huijian in my life, I can't forget..."

"Don't be sad, it's all my fault for mentioning Jinqi." Tie Jinjue comforted.

"Don't blame my uncle. After I saw Hui Gujian yesterday, I have lost count of how many times I have recalled the first time I saw Hui Gujian..." Tie Hongyan said.
