"I don't know what you're talking about." After Gong Yuzhi drank a mouthful of the tea, he stared at Lin Bai and said in a deep voice, "My wife is not at home right now. A relative came to our hometown and took them out to play!"
"I'm afraid it's not that coincidental. Your wife left the moment we arrived?" Lin Bai asked, still smiling.
Gong Yuzhi heavily placed the cup down when he heard this, and turned to stare at Xiao Xingshu: "Principal Xiao, if you don't trust me, and think that I have stolen the treasures of the Museum, you can bring me to the Public Security Bureau. You don't have to keep holding onto my wife like this again and again, making things difficult for me, right?"
As he spoke, Gong Yuzhi's originally white and clear face slightly flushed. It was obvious that she was a little annoyed by these words from Lin Bai. Shen Lingfeng saw that the situation was not good and immediately shot Lin Bai a meaningful glance; Xiao Xingshu, on the other hand, was at a loss of what to do, the awkwardness on his face was incomparably deep. Gong Yuzhi had been his old subordinate for many years, but he could not afford to offend Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng.
"Lin Bai, why don't we go back first? Let Principal Xiao help us figure out what else we can do, and see if we can find anything else, Shen Lingfeng saw that the smile on Lin Bai's face did not change and did not have any intention of retreating, so he said this anxiously.
Lin Bai smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Shen Lingfeng's words. He stared at Gong Yuzhi and said: "You're lying! There's no one coming from your hometown, and your wife isn't playing outside. I'm afraid she's in a hospital bed right now! "
"You're lying!" Gong Yuzhi's face instantly became ugly, his eyes staring straight at Lin Bai, his cheeks becoming even thicker, holding the teacup tightly, obviously wanting to make a move against Lin Bai if there was any disagreement!
Lin Bai was not afraid at all, he stared at the teacup in Gong Yuzhi's hands playfully, and said indifferently: "Your esteemed wife is probably suffering from a serious disease such as cancer. According to what I know, if you want to cure this disease, not only would it consume energy, but it would also take a very long time to cure it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense. Gong Yuzhi's heavy breathing could almost be heard, as Shen Lingfeng and Xiao Xingshu stared fixedly at him, wanting to see what kind of change was going to occur on his face.
"Before coming here, Principal Xiao told me about your personality along the way. I also clearly understand that doing this kind of thing might be even more painful than killing you. There must be something very difficult to say." Lin Bai sighed, and said gently: "Director Gong, don't worry. We won't trouble you, we just want to know the whereabouts of the < < Back Push Map > >. We will pay your wife's medical fees, and won't let her do anything!"
When Lin Bai said that, hope suddenly sparked in his eyes, after a moment, he held his head with both hands, and suddenly wailed out loud, muttering to himself: "I can't do it, I don't want to! I've worked at the museum all my life, and the babies are like my son, but I can't stand by and watch my wife give up her treatment and die in her hospital bed! "
The room was completely silent. Everyone was silent, and only the weeping sound of the man, Gong Yuzhi, reverberated non-stop. That sound could not be described with words, as if it was a lion that had lost its true love and was roaring in every direction.
"I admit, someone gave me five million and told me to tell him the password to the vault. In order to treat my wife's illness, I was forced to accept this condition. Please arrest me! " After a while, Gong Yuzhi extended his hand out to wipe the snot and tears on his face, and extended his hand out in front of Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng, and said slowly.
Xiao Xingshu's face also became incomparably ugly. He never would have thought that, no matter what, it was actually as Lin Bai had said, that the traitor in Palace Museum was this Gong Yuzhi who had dedicated most of his life to the Forbidden Palace. He spoke with a hoarse voice, and looked at Gong Yuzhi with a bitter smile: "You wouldn't know how to tell me such a big thing?
"Principal Xiao, you're the same as me. You're only living off that little bit of wages, how can you have any savings?" Gong Yuzhi continued: "Five million, not a small number. Other than this method, I really can't think of any other! You two, go ahead. As long as you don't make things difficult for my wife, it's fine if you just shoot me! "
"We won't do that." Lin Bai shook his head and said gently, "All we want is the information that you, Director Gong, have provided us about the person who stole the < Back Push Map >, as well as the whereabouts of the < Back Push Map >. Your wife needs someone to take care of her illness, and she won't be able to take such a blow. You can't leave her side right now. "
"As for that five million, you just need to give the money to Principal Xiao as the cost for the renovation of the Palace Museum's ancient architecture. We will bear the expenses for your wife's treatment! " After a moment of silence, Lin Bai added.
After Lin Bai said those words one after another, Gong Yuzhi was choked with sobs. Her cheeks were full of tears, and her glasses that had been wiped clean earlier, had now been covered with white spots.
"He never showed up when he was trading with me. I only talked to him on the phone. But the voice must be pretty old, and from his accent, I think he's from Xi'an. " Gong Yuzhi wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said: "I cannot take your money. I will return the five million to Principal Xiao. As for my wife's medical expenses, I will think of a way myself! "
"I lack everything, but the thing I lack the least is money. I didn't give you this money for nothing. After your wife recovers, you can bring people to conquer a few more obstacles and try to preserve our old Chinese buildings as much as possible. Don't let future generations only see it in pictures! " Lin Bai waved his hand, and said decisively.
Shen Lingfeng added, "Director Gong, this is his good intentions, please do not decline. To be honest, it's not the first time I've killed him. This little bit of money is nothing to him. "
Back then, when those girls were preparing to save Lin Bai in Europe, he had personally witnessed his family's assets. Furthermore, during the International Competition, Lin Bai won one round, and just that win alone was already worth seven hundred million. With all of this money added up together, five million was nothing but a drop in the bucket; it couldn't even hurt his elemental energy.
"Old Gong, stop being so scholarly. Lin Shao and Director Shen are not ordinary people, your sister-in-law will definitely receive the best treatment, rest assured! " Xiao Xingshu patted Gong Yuzhi's shoulders and continued to speak, "It's just like what Lin Shao said. When your sister-in-law gets better, let her support you in your work.
With just one sentence, Gong Yuzhi was completely speechless. His hands were already trembling nonstop as tears continued to flow down his face. He had never thought that he would end up dying. This was a turning point for him. Not only did it help his wife recover, he could also save his name.
"Lin Shao, I have another piece of information. Back then, when we were talking on the phone, I received a call that was hung up too late. I heard that person talking about Xi'an Earth meridian or something, and when you arrived in Xi'an, you should be able to find out more about it. " After Gong Yuzhi's mood completely calmed down, he took a few deep breaths and spoke while looking at Lin Bai.
Xi'an Earth meridian? Hearing that, Lin Bai's eyes turned cold, he turned to look at Shen Lingfeng, only to see that Shen Lingfeng's eyes had turned serious. Opening the seal of the dragon, the Yanjing's underground water pulse was sealed into a yin fiend, and now there was a place in Xi'an, could it be that all these matters were linked together? Could it be that the person who had stolen the < < Back Push Map > > was the same people who had tricked Kong Zhaosu into binding the dragon vein back then?!
"This news is very important! Director Gong, you can be considered to have rendered a great merit! " After muttering to himself for a moment, Lin Bai nodded her head, smiled and looked at him as she softly said, "Manager Gong, don't worry. You are not the kind of person to bring along an old age dead wife.
"Caught an elephant?" Hearing that, Gong Yuzhi's eyes jumped, he gazed at Lin Bai from head to toe, and said with hesitation: "Lin Shao, did you not inquire about my wife's situation earlier, but you were able to tell it from my appearance?"
"The Yitang is dark, and Guizhou has been shocked by the loss of horses. Chief Gong, your cheeks are white and clean, but there is a slight black aura appearing between your eyebrows. It's like smoke being smoked in the dark. Clearly, a calamity has happened to your close relatives. And your wife wasn't there, so I made a bold guess. " Lin Bai laughed and continued, "With the spirit of the Scarlet Rabbit, it will definitely be able to recover from its loss.
"Chief Gong, don't think that this brat is just trying to trick you. Let me tell you, even if someone takes out the gold, I'm afraid that they might not be able to get this kid to sign a divination!" Seeing Gong Yuzhi not saying anything for a long time, Shen Lingfeng thought that he did not believe in Lin Bai's methods, and smilingly praised Lin Bai from the side.
But then again, his words were not much of a flattery. Lin Bai had created a twelve word calculation secret art, it could be said to be something that had never happened before in history. Now, his name had already spread to all the wealthy and powerful people who knew about the martial world. If it wasn't for his special status, those people would have flocked here a long time ago!
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I find it unbelievable! I never thought that at such a young age, Lin Shao would actually learn such a good phase art, it is truly astonishing! " Gong Yuzhi immediately shook his head, and said while looking at Lin Bai respectfully.
Xiao Xingshu was also staring at Lin Bai with his mouth agape. Now that he had done this, he finally understood why when he saw Lin Bai for the first time, he felt that there was no way for him to hide his actions. It was because this thing was a human body scanner, and with a single glance, he could see through a person's information.
On the other hand, how terrifying would it be to walk in the city as a person who had always been straightforward and straightforward?
