The three of them walked along the underground river for more than two hours before they finally saw a cave entrance that allowed them to see both light and people. Standing under the sunlight once again, it felt like a lifetime had passed. The surrounding dense forest made me feel like I was returning home, and even the fact that Miss Kong was holding up an umbrella at the first possible moment made me feel extremely close to him. The first thing I did was give Xiong Lusheng a positioning position, and then I collapsed limply fell on the ground, closing my eyes and enjoying everything around me.
Two or three hours later, Xiong Lusheng arrived with a platoon of warriors. Watching the soldiers carefully carry Gaang's corpse and the unconscious Zhao Zhibing onto the carriage, none of us spoke a word.
I didn't rest for even a minute. I pulled Hamborg and Miss Kong to the four storehouses to repair the seal, but this time, the little black cat was not bad, even deceiving and shaking a few droplets of cat urine on the seal. With the Ancient Beast's urine as a seal, I reckon that normal things wouldn't be able to escape.
After finishing everything, I went to Xiong Lusheng's office and asked for Gaang's home address, returned the camera to him, and told him the entire process of the operation. After Xiong Lusheng gave me the address, he rejected my other actions with a sorrowful look, "I have no right to listen to this matter, nor do I have the authority to handle it. Even if you were to document all the details of this incident, I would only hand them over to my superiors. I only know that in this operation, more than twenty of my brothers will not be able to return. I believe that someone will come and find you about the inside story of this event. "
I silently looked at this man with big red eyes and nodded my head. He turned around and went out, got a car from the guard, and directly returned to Baxian Hotel.
After returning to Baxian Hotel, I headed straight into my room to sleep. It was already the afternoon of the next day when I woke up. Looking at Wang Baqi's noodles with eggs laid in front of me, I had no appetite at all. I casually took out a bottle of Old White Dried Rice and a cup from the counter and drank it all by myself. Everything in front of me was filled with images from the Qi Hu official's tomb, Chao Yang knocked Zhao Zhibing away, Zhao Zhibing blocked the flying shield for me, Gaang asked me to take care of his brother and mother before he committed suicide, Company Commander Xiong Lusheng's sorrowful expression before he left, and Zhao Hai said to me sinisterly, "This is my Zhou Family ancestor, you guys killed my brother!"
At some point in time, Brother Tao had sat down beside me and placed a plate of peanuts in front of me. Seeing me look at him, he smiled. "You're still young, what's the matter with you? Tell me about it. "
I rolled a peanut into my mouth and said, "I'm going to be thirty-six soon. I'm not young anymore."
Brother Tao laughed out loud. "Here, what's the difference between 36 years and 360 years?"
I went silent, and after a while I asked him, "Brother Tao, why do you think everyone is alive? I thought about it for a long time, and it seemed like I was just going to die for the sake of eating until I was 50 years old. "
Brother Tao looked at me and shook his head, "I don't know, but everyone has their own way of life and their own goal. If you can't find it, look for it again. "
"I don't know what I'm looking for. Maybe everyone has a piece of land in their heart, a very special piece of land, and it doesn't take long for other plants to sprout only when they plant something special." Then Brother Tao, what is your goal? "
Brother Tao laughed again. "Give me a plate of peanuts, drink some wine, bask in the sun, and do whatever you want. That's good enough."
I laughed, too, and poured wine for him and myself. "Yes, on this level, billionaires and beggars are the same."
Brother Tao laughed out loud. He picked up his wine cup and clinked it with mine, "Young people shouldn't think too much.
Wang Baqi just happened to walk in, and when he heard us talking about fun, he immediately followed up with a question, "Fourth Boss, it's almost the new year, come back with me to your home town to play, you guys don't have any new year at all, it's just our village, that's the new year."
Brother Tao patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go on, it's already the new year, let's go out and play." We're not the same old guys in the shop, what are you afraid of? "
I casually asked where Wang Baqi's hometown was, and found out that it was only one or two hundred kilometers away from his home. Thus, I decided to swim for a bit, and then go to the countryside for a year to relax!
If I had the ability to predict the future, I might not have agreed to the travel that was set down on the table this time. This was because this was the travel that revealed a secret that was accumulated for more than two thousand years.
On the morning of the third day, I threw a kraft paper bag to Superintendent Duan, which contained the entire details of the operation of the company, as well as a few questions that I needed to help investigate, such as Zhao Hai's real identity, the information on the members of the special task force, and so on. Although I didn't expect him to give me any answers, I guess I should keep a bit of hope.
I declined the offer of lunch and went to rent a car from a rental company. I didn't have the confidence to drive the seven-handed loaf for more than a thousand kilometers. While waiting for the train to be checked, Wang Baqi, who was with me, brought a small box over. "Fourth Boss, have a taste? "It's extremely delicious."
"Why are you like a girl every day? All kinds of snacks will always be on your hand. " While I was talking about him, I opened the small box. Inside were a few bunches of pills, round and thick with soup. It did smell good.
Wang Baqi said unhappily: "Fourth Boss, how can you say that? You talk about me everyday, this old lady is obviously a pure man, okay?"
"Alright, alright, you guys. It's pretty delicious, where did you buy it? Buy me some more. " I took out twenty dollars and slapped it into his hand, grabbing the box.
After finishing the inspection, I called Wang Baqi and went to find him. From afar, I saw Wang Baqi standing in front of a counter in a small shop. The store was not big. It was a small entrance that was two to three meters wide and had the words "Brilliant Ball" written on it.
I smiled and shook my head. Young people nowadays really dare to use any name. While thinking about it, a woman in the shop gave two boxes of pills to Wang Baqi. In that instant, it was as if my entire body was struck by lightning and I couldn't move at all. The woman's straight nose, fair neck, and familiar ball heads struck me like a thunderclap, triggering countless memories in my mind.
The sound of Wang Baqi knocking on the glass jolted me out of my stupor. When I unlocked the door, he sat down with his butt in, and muttered, "Fourth Boss, what are you doing? I've been knocking for a long time. "
Knowing that I was in the wrong, I smiled coyly, "It's fine, it's fine. This name is quite interesting."
Wang Baqi replied as he ate the pills, "Yes, the Lady Boss is also very pretty. But don't worry about it, they already have children. "
"Hmm? "Child?"
"Yeah, he's in primary school."
I inexplicably became agitated. I stomped down on the throttle of the car and didn't look at the shop anymore as I sprinted towards Baxian Hotel.
Returning to the Baxian Hotel, they pulled Hamborg and Mao Babao along and the four of them went over to Gaang's house first. If anyone wanted to go, they directly gathered at his hometown.
We drove for three or four hours until we came to the door of this run-down farmhouse. A woman in her fifties, with white hair and a puzzled expression, opened the door. As it was a secret operation, the news of Gaang's sacrifice still hadn't spread to my family. I bought some things in the name of Gaang's friends in the city who were driving by and gave them to her. Suppressing the grief in his heart, he accompanied Gaang's mother and his brother, who had just turned eighteen years old, for an afternoon with a smile on his face.
Hamborg finally revealed what he took out from his backpack in the grave. He hid the two pieces of gold that weighed at least 3 jin under the stove in the dilapidated farmhouse. Mao Babao then summoned a little brat to hide there. If the two girls didn't notice, the little brat would naturally listen to Mao Babao's orders and "help" the two girls to find the gold ingot.
As he left Gaang's home with a heavy heart, Wang Baqi volunteered to drive. He said that he would be bringing us through the mountains, to see the charm of the mountains, and also to feel comfortable and a little suppressed his feelings. I took the initiative to sit in the back seat. I wasn't in the mood right now, so I just let him play with me.
Mao Babao took out a paper bag at the right time. This was what he had gotten from the black fatty who had asked him to search for and remove Baxian Hotel from him. It was already dark by then. I switched on the overhead light and checked it slowly. I found this guy called Zhang Hailong was quite interesting. Zhang Hailong was the boss of the demolition company, but he only had 15% of the shares. The real majority was a woman called Faang Lan. This company had been established for a few years, and had gone through a few very small demolition and transformation projects. However, the total amount of these small projects added together was just a little bigger than the activity of dismantling Baxian Hotel. It gives me the feeling that this company is very similar to one specially prepared for Baxian Hotel.
"Has Faang Lan checked?" I turned to Mao Babao and asked.
Mao Babao took out a piece of paper from his paper bag and handed it over to me. This woman was thirty years old and had an extraordinary charm. She didn't seem to be related to the demolition company at all. Furthermore, her resume had always been outside the country and she wasn't in the job related to demolition. Two months after she came back, this demolition company was established, which further reinforced my previous thought of setting up this company specifically for Baxian Hotel.
Mao Babao seemed to be able to read my thoughts, and smilingly walked over: "Fourth Boss, do you feel that it's a coincidence?"
I nodded my head, "This is such a coincidence, such a woman appeared out of nowhere and then mysteriously formed such a company. This company hasn't taken on any work in a few years, and they just took on the job of removing Baxian Hotel all of a sudden.
"There's more fun." Mao Babao reached out to take back Faang Lan's information, and tore it into pieces: "Not long after I got hold of this Faang Lan's information, Director Duan called me, saying that this information is fake."
"Fake?" I was stunned for a moment. "Then who is she?"
Before Mao Babao could answer me, the car suddenly came to a screeching halt, followed by a loud thump. Wang Baqi's voice that carried a weeping tone rang out afterwards …
"Fourth Boss, I bumped into someone ~ ~ ~"
