Your friend?
In half a month, he went from Beijing to Inner Mongolia, and then to Gansu. From Gansu, he traveled thousands of miles from east to west, and finally went north to the junction of three provinces.
Along the way, he had experienced so many setbacks and tribulations. When the hope was right in front of him, he suddenly told him that Mr. Ding had left a week ago.
Even if Nangong and Bach were good-tempered, they were about to explode at this time.
Bach couldn't help but swear, "F * ck!"
After that, he sat on the ground, as if the last motivation to support him was gone. He couldn't accept this result. Even if he couldn't find Mr. Ding, it had little to do with him. Bach was still a little disappointed. After all, the purpose of this trip was to find Mr. Ding.
Nangong didn't say a word. He smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he could only go home.
Bach asked angrily, "Do you know where Mr. Ding went? We are looking for him urgently."
The man adjusted his glasses and shook his head. "Mr. Ding didn't say where he went. He just asked me to tell you that you don't need to look for him anymore. The favor he owed the Qin Family has already been repaid."
This sentence made Nangong frown slightly. Nangong asked, "You mean, Mr. Ding knows that we are looking for him?"
The man didn't deny it. He smiled and nodded at Nangong. He hadn't seen such a beautiful woman for a long time. But from his expression and demeanor, he seemed to be very calm.
He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, it is because you are looking for him that Mr. Ding left. So you should understand what I want to say."
If this was the case, Nangong was relieved. After all, before he set off, his foster father had told him that even if he found Mr. Ding, he might not go back to Beijing.
Now it seemed that Mr. Ding really didn't want to go back.
Bach was a little unconvinced. "Why doesn't Mr. Ding want to see us? Even if he doesn't want to go to Beijing, he doesn't need to avoid us."
The man touched the head of the dog guarding the door and said, "I don't know. Mr. Ding didn't tell me."
Bach continued to ask, "Can you contact Mr. Ding?"
"When Mr. Ding left, he said that we don't need to look for him. He left and didn't know when he would return." The man replied without raising his head. It seemed that in his eyes, the dogs at the door were more interesting than the two strangers.
Nangong understood. She let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that Mr. Ding doesn't want to see us or go back to Beijing. We can only go back. Let's go."
Nangong was very disappointed and turned to leave. Bach also quickly got up from the ground. No matter what, this journey was finally coming to an end, although the ending was not satisfactory.
What he had to consider now was whether he should continue to follow Nangong to Beijing or choose to return to Mengxi. If he chose to return to Mengxi, he was afraid that he would be beaten by his uncle. If he chose to go to Beijing, he was afraid that he would be unfamiliar with the place.
Just as Nangong and Bach were about to leave, the man raised his head and said very seriously, "Mr. Ding also said that he already knew about what happened in Beijing, but this time it is not something he can solve …"
Hearing this, Nangong subconsciously froze, which meant that Mr. Ding knew everything that happened in Beijing. Nangong couldn't wait to ask, "What else did Mr. Ding say?"
The man got up slowly, patted the dust on his body, and said, "As for the rest, Mr. Ding told me that I can only tell Master Qin in person."
Nangong did not expect that Mr. Ding still had other arrangements, so she decided without hesitation, "Well, let's go back to Beijing now."
Everyone could understand Nangong's mood. After all, for this matter, she had been struggling for half a month. Now, although she had not found Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding had a message for her foster father, which was also a kind of comfort for her, so she could not wait.
The man did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "We are not in a hurry. I know that you may arrive today, so I prepared lunch. It is not too late for us to leave after eating."
After hearing this, Bach was very surprised. He did not expect that this man actually knew that they would arrive today. Could it be that he could predict? Or was he fooling them, so Bach was skeptical.
However, when he heard that lunch was prepared, Bach was still very excited. During this period of time, they were full and hungry, and now they were hungry again.
Nangong had seen a lot of supermundane masters, so she did not have any doubts about this. Some people did have this kind of ability, such as Mr. Ding. This man seemed to have a special relationship with Mr. Ding, so it could be explained that he knew these things.
The two of them followed the man into the courtyard and as soon as they entered the house, they could smell the fragrance of meat. Ba He's stomach started to rumble and Nangong glared at him. That's all you've got.
About a kilometer away from this paradise, the car that had been following Nangong and Bach had stopped at the foot of another mountain. At the same time, they had already used drones to investigate the situation in front of them, and were now discussing countermeasures.
The man in the passenger seat stared at the picture on the screen and asked, "Brother Ye, what should we do? Is it the person they are looking for?"
Brother Ye said expressionlessly, "It looks a little like it, but I am still not sure. But from the looks of this place, it should be similar, very suitable for living in seclusion."
"Then what should we do? Should we do something? If not, we may be exposed. "The man in the passenger seat frowned and said. Although he wanted to complete this task in a hurry, he did not want to fail.
Brother Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let me call the boss and see what he thinks."
After all, this was not a small matter. One should know that the man was not light, and this woman was Qin Changan's adopted daughter. Once something went wrong, the counterattack from the other party would not be simple.
Brother Ye took the phone and walked into the woods. As for what they were talking about, naturally, he could not let others know. Even if this task failed, he must not expose his identity.
Not long after, Brother Ye came back and gathered everyone together. He said in a loud voice, "Do it."
Everyone immediately took their weapons without hesitation and went along the ridge to the small courtyard over there. As for what to pay attention to, Brother Ye had already reminded them many times before they set off.
In an SUV some distance away from the small courtyard, Hao Lei, who was driving, asked casually, "Lao Qin, how long until we arrive?"
Qin Sheng said casually, "About half an hour."
At least for now, there was no movement from Nangong's side, which meant that there should not be any danger before they arrived. As long as they met up, even if they encountered danger, they would absolutely not have to worry about the situation. After all, this lineup was very strong.
What Qin Sheng was more concerned about was whether he could find Mr. Ding. It was said that Mr. Ding was the number one military adviser of the old man in the past, and also the disciple personally taught by his grandfather. Qin Sheng really wanted to meet him.
In the small courtyard, Nangong and Ba He were eating. Nangong ate casually and then stopped. This was a habit that had been developed for so many years. If she was in Beijing, she would strictly control the amount of calories she consumed every day. She would definitely not be like some women who would eat and drink after losing weight for a period of time.
Ba He could not care so much, he just wanted to fill his stomach. During this period of time, he had been too miserable. He could only fill his stomach when he passed by the county or small town. Moreover, the food that this man cooked today was really delicious, especially this hand-grabbed lamb. He had never eaten such delicious food before.
Both sides had already introduced each other. The man who was drinking tea in front of him was called Zhong Shan, a Jiangsu native. He had been hanging around in Beijing for many years and finally met Mr. Ding. They were both teachers and friends. These years, he followed Mr. Ding everywhere and also learned a lot from Mr. Ding.
Therefore, when Mr. Ding left, he entrusted everything to him.
"Lao Zhong, your cooking skills are not bad, who did you learn it from?" Ba He, who was gnawing on a big leg of lamb, asked without raising his head. His table manners were really too ugly, as if someone would snatch it for him.
Zhong Shan, who looked very calm, chuckled and said, "I learned it from the herdsmen and mountain people. These years, I did not learn anything except cooking. Fortunately, Mr. Ding's taste is not picky, otherwise he would have chased me away long ago."
Ba He flattered and said, "How is it possible, it is so delicious, Mr. Ding must be secretly happy. Speaking of which, do you have any secret recipe for this hand-grabbed lamb? Why have I never eaten such delicious food before?"
"Of course there is a secret recipe, I learned it from a herdsman. If you want, I will tell you later," Zhong Shan said happily. To be recognized by others, this was a kind of happiness.
Nangong looked like he did not want to talk to strangers, and Ba He was indeed friendly. These two people were quite interesting. Zhong Shan looked at them with interest.
Nangong said unhappily, "Hurry up and eat your food, we can go after you are full."
This sentence had a double meaning, and Ba He did not think much about it. He smiled and continued to gnaw on his leg of lamb. He was just short of asking if he could take some away.
At this time, Nangong looked at Zhong Shan and said, "After you leave, what will happen here?"
"Don't worry, I have already told them, someone will come to take care of it. Besides, I will be back after a period of time," Zhong Shan explained with a smile.
He definitely would not expect that when he came back, it would be many years later.
Ba He was full, and Nangong continued to drink tea. This man's tea was quite delicious, but the taste of the tea was a little strange, and Nangong had never drunk it before.
Zhong Shan packed his things in the house, and there was nothing to bring, just a carry-on backpack, which contained some personal things.
Just when Zhong Shan was almost ready, suddenly there was a continuous barking outside. Zhong Shan frowned and was ready to go out to see what was going on.
Nangong thought that they had arrived, and said with a little excitement, "My friends are here."
Zhong Shan took the lead to go out, and found a few strange men standing in the yard, they did not look very good. He looked back at Nangong and said, "Your friends?"
Nangong had already seen these people in the yard, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "No."
"If they are not friends, then they are enemies." Zhong Shan could understand from Nangong's expression, but he did not seem to be nervous.
