Stars twinkled in the deep night sky.
Zhao Tianlong held a glass of white wine and slowly savored the aroma. It was fashionable to drink red wine or dry white wine, but he loved white wine the most.
The aroma of white wine was rich, spicy at first, then soft, and penetrated the organs. This was something that no other wine could compare to.
There were more than 20 dishes on the table, looking, smelling, and looking good. Usually, he would not be so extravagant. He had only prepared to entertain Gao Zhengyang, but since the other party was not coming, he would enjoy it alone.
However, he was old and had no appetite to enjoy it at night. He could only pick some meat to feed to Lao Hei beside him.
Lao Hei was a bulldog. After genetic screening, it was 190 centimeters long and weighed nearly 100 kilograms. Squatting there, its muscles were distinct.
For a bulldog to have beautiful muscles, training alone was not enough. It also needed to be injected with various muscle-strengthening drugs, as well as diet. Lao Hei's monthly expenses for food and use were hundreds of thousands.
Of course, such an expensive investment was also effective.
Not only was Lao Hei abnormally obedient, but he was also brave and good at fighting. It might be an exaggeration to say that he could tear a tiger apart, but at least he could put up a fight. As for ordinary people, three to five of them were not enough for Lao Hei.
When Zhao Tianlong held onto Lao Hei, he felt very safe. Such a fierce dog's most important role was to protect him. Dogs had a keen sense of smell and a strong intuition. They understood human nature and were also extremely loyal. More importantly, he wouldn't speak or have any messy thoughts.
Drinking alone was really boring. Although Lao Hei was good, he could not taste wine with him. Zhao Tianlong motioned for Zhao Ming to come over. "Let's drink together."
Zhao Ming wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhao Tianlong's firm attitude, he did not say anything. He silently raised his glass and drained it.
"The sauce is rich and the aftertaste is endless. Maotai is indeed a top quality wine. "Zhao Ming praised.
"This bottle has been stored in the cellar for 20 years. Of course it's rich."
Zhao Tianlong sighed. "It's a pity. I thought that Gao Zhengyang was a character, but he dared not show himself. He has no right to drink this hero wine! "
"Such a small character may have some secret skills, but he is ultimately not good enough."
Zhao Ming laughed.
Zhao Tianlong sighed. "There are no heroes in this era. Thirty years ago, the underworld was filled with heroes. That Li San, in order to make amends, cut open his stomach on the spot. Even his intestines came out, and he forced himself to kneel there. There's also Iron Hook. His right arm was chopped off, but he still drank with us … "
Thinking back to his heroic days in the wilderness, Zhao Tianlong was filled with emotions. Those people back then, whether they were enemies or friends, were almost all dead now. Those who were lucky enough not to die were hiding in some corner to live an ignoble existence.
Zhao Ming said very seriously, "Master Long single-handedly barged into the Four Seas Hall and killed dozens of people until they knelt on the ground and surrendered. This is the unparalleled heroism!"
"Hahahahaha …"
Hearing Zhao Ming talk about the proudest thing in his life, Zhao Tianlong could not help but laugh heartily. Today, although he no longer had that hot-bloodedness and bravery, it was still good to recall the glory of the past.
After laughing for a while, Zhao Tianlong put down his wine glass and looked at the stars in the night sky. "I'm old. I'm really old. I'm going to sleep."
Zhao Ming looked at the time, nodded and said, "I'll send you back to your room."
After returning to Zhao Tianlong's master bedroom, Zhao Ming helped him wash up and sent him to bed before leaving.
Normally speaking, one should exercise for a while after eating and sleep after the food was digested. However, the effects of the aged wine were surging up, and Zhao Tianlong could not hold on much longer. He did not eat much, so he did not care about these small details.
Zhao Tianlong lay on the bed, listening to Zhao Ming arrange for the bodyguards to be on duty outside the room. His heart was even more at ease.
Zhao Tianlong did not want to die so sullenly after the Zhang brothers had met with so many mishaps. He increased the security. There were a total of twelve professional bodyguards divided into three shifts to protect him twenty-four hours a day. They were equipped with electric batons, anti-explosion sprays, and even guns.
There were also dozens of security personnel outside, patrolling, monitoring, and various other methods to ensure his safety. Unless someone brought an army to attack, his Longjiang Villa was an impregnable fortress.
Zhao Tianlong lightly patted Old Black's head, indicating for it to go to sleep at the door. He turned on the radio as usual. Listening to the radio originated from his fond childhood memories. Listening to the radio always made him fall asleep quickly.
"This is Shang Jiang's Companion Star Voice. Today, we have invited Miaojiang's Gu worm culture research expert, Mr. Liu, to discuss Miaojiang's Gu worm culture together …"
The host's magnetic voice was clearly transmitted into Zhao Tianlong's ears through the radio waves. He could not help but feel a little amused. The Zhang brothers' bizarre deaths had spawned countless theories.
Miaojiang's Gu worm theory was the most popular, and it also triggered a wave of mysterious culture. Who knew how many public accounts and Big V's followed behind this matter and ate a lot of human blood.
The world was so realistic. Everyone needed entertainment. Either follow the trend and abandon their shame, or sink to the bottom of the tide and perish.
That Miaojiang's Gu worm culture expert was not bragging. He was very familiar with the history, heritage, and various taboos of Gu worms.
Zhao Tianlong listened to the expert speak with fervor and assurance, and unknowingly fell asleep.
Zhao Ming, who was waiting outside the bedroom, estimated that it was about time. He walked in lightly, turned off the radio, and adjusted the lights to the darkest. He patrolled the room again and left after finding no problems.
After coming out of the room, Zhao Ming went to the surveillance room again. Although the few surveillance personnel were listless, no one did anything else. Zhao Ming sternly warned them again. It was not peaceful recently, and they had to keep their spirits up.
The guards did not dare to say anything and could only agree repeatedly.
Zhao Ming also asked the kitchen to prepare supper for the guards. The night was long, and if they did not eat their fill, how would they have the strength to work? The guards were naturally overjoyed.
Midnight snack. This was an unexpected surprise. Otherwise, they could only eat some instant noodles or fast food to fill their stomachs.
After Zhao Ming left, the guards also relaxed a lot.
"Brother Zhao is still quite a good person …"
"Brother Zhao's methods are very powerful. Don't talk nonsense behind his back."
"How did the Zhang brothers die? It's making us very nervous!"
The guards finished their warm supper and were in a good mood. They also had the energy to chat.
One of the guards said, "Let's also be more careful. Brother Zhao might come back in the morning …"
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
The guards all thought that Zhao Ming came back again. They all turned around and stood up, but found that it was a strange man standing at the door.
This man was wearing a black baseball cap and a black mask on his face. It was the kind that celebrities liked to wear. His face was almost completely covered, only revealing a pair of eyes.
He was wearing a black casual sportswear and a pair of black mesh sports shoes with white soles. It was a standard outfit for a night run. However, his sudden appearance in the surveillance room was obviously not normal.
The surveillance room was located in the central area of Longjiang Villa. There were more than a hundred surveillance cameras everywhere to ensure that there were no blind spots. Anyone who entered the surveillance room from the outside could not escape the surveillance.
Although the guards were eating supper, they did not dare to slack off. They all stared at the surveillance screen and did not find anything unusual.
Especially the cameras in the central area, they all had infrared heat sensors. When people or animals approached, a dazzling red would appear. It was impossible not to see it.
However, no one found anything unusual. Where did this masked guy come from? The guards instinctively suspected that this person was sent by Zhao Ming to test them.
"Who are you?" The guard holding the alarm didn't dare to press the alarm. He asked first.
The two guards next to him pulled out electric batons and a taser gun. This kind of gun had a range of five meters and could emit a high-voltage electric current to make people faint instantly. It was also a controlled device.
In this narrow room, the guards were actually not afraid of the other party.
The person was naturally Gao Zhengyang. He could sense the location of the cameras and control his body temperature. The instantaneous burst of speed was even more terrifying. The cameras at night were blurry. It was difficult to capture a fleeting shadow.
Even if someone saw it, they would think that their eyes were playing tricks on them. Gao Zhengyang could even sense the location of other people in advance. Thus, he was able to walk all the way without encountering any obstacles.
The surveillance room was the center of Longjiang Villa's security. If Gao Zhengyang wanted to cause trouble here, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of the surveillance.
Gao Zhengyang said to the guards, "Thank you for your hard work. You can take a rest now."
The head guard felt that something was wrong. He wanted to press the alarm to inform the other guards. Before he pressed his finger, his vision went black. Gao Zhengyang was already in front of him.
This guard had also practiced before. He could instinctively dodge and block. His movements were solid and powerful. He did have some skills. But all his reactions and actions were within Gao Zhengyang's expectations.
He just reached out and tapped the guard's ear. A penetrating force was like a nail hammering into his brain. All his nerve reactions were cut off.
The guard's eyes rolled back and he directly fainted.
Gao Zhengyang grabbed his neck and threw him to the left. The two guards holding electric batons and taser guns instinctively hit the guard's body.
Electricity splashed everywhere. The unconscious guard still twitched under the strong electric current.
Gao Zhengyang had already retreated to the side of the other two guards. He held the two men's chins with his palms. The violent shock knocked the two men out on the spot.
The human chin was the weakest and it was connected to many nerves in the brain. So in a boxing match, it was easy to faint on the spot if one was punched in the chin.
Gao Zhengyang understood the human body too well. The force he used was just right. If he wanted the other party to faint for a few minutes, there wouldn't be any accidents.
In an instant, three people arrived. The other two guards were dumbfounded. One wanted to run, and the other wanted to scream. Gao Zhengyang flashed like a ghost. The two men also fainted.
Gao Zhengyang ignored the guards who had fainted. He went to the surveillance room, found the main control box, and kicked it until it exploded.
Without the hard drive, the camera was useless even if it worked. The footage couldn't be stored.
After dealing with the surveillance room, the rest was simple.
Although Gao Zhengyang had never been to Longjiang Villa, the layout of the building wouldn't be too different. Zhao Tianlong must have stayed in the largest and most comfortable position.
He walked along the corridor. When he reached the corner, he heard someone talking.
Gao Zhengyang stood at the corner and didn't move. When the two men came over, one of them went up and the two men fainted on the carpet.
Along the way, as long as he met someone, Gao Zhengyang would knock them out. He didn't even see the shadow of the other party.
After walking around the main building, Gao Zhengyang knocked out more than 20 people.
He finally found the master bedroom on the top floor of the seventh floor. There were two guards on duty in the corridor leading to the master bedroom.
Gao Zhengyang sped up and rushed between the two guards. He pressed his palms on their heads and knocked them out.
After dealing with the two guards, Gao Zhengyang didn't rush to find Zhao Tianlong. Instead, he turned to the door of another bedroom.
Gao Zhengyang didn't need to look to know that Zhao Ming lived inside. Moreover, Zhao Ming had already woken up.
There were more security facilities here, and Zhao Ming's instincts were very sharp. Gao Zhengyang didn't want to avoid anyone. In the end, he still felt that something was wrong.
However, Gao Zhengyang didn't care. So what if the other party found out?
Zhao Ming was in the room, pointing his gun at the door nervously. He had just made an emergency call on his phone, notifying all the guards to assemble urgently. But he was still unusually nervous.
The other party came in without a sound. How did they do it? And how many people were there?
The door was gently pushed open and a person walked in. His back was straight and his posture was calm and natural. He didn't have the slightest vigilance and caution of breaking into someone else's house.
Zhao Ming couldn't see the other party's face clearly. He didn't want to look too much. His finger moved to pull the trigger. However, a hand reached out from thin air and grabbed the bolt of the gun. The trigger seemed to be welded shut. He couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried.
"You still have a gun. Do you have a gun license? That's against the law … "
Gao Zhengyang said as he twisted his hand. The gun in Zhao Ming's hand flew out uncontrollably.
Zhao Ming also recognized that the magnetic voice belonged to Gao Zhengyang. He exclaimed, "It's you?"
"Who am I?" Gao Zhengyang asked jokingly.
Zhao Ming was just about to say Gao Zhengyang's name when Gao Zhengyang slapped his forehead. Zhao Ming's vision went black. He fell to the ground softly, unconscious.
Gao Zhengyang heard the sound of hurried footsteps from below. Eight people came up. He looked at the master bedroom. Zhao Tianlong was sleeping soundly.
Zhao Tianlong was old and his hearing was much worse. In addition, the master bedroom was soundproof. He couldn't hear anything at all.
However, there was a dog. It stood up alertly when it heard the noise.
This kind of dog, which had undergone strict training, wouldn't bark randomly. It carefully walked to the door and opened its mouth, preparing to bite someone.
Gao Zhengyang walked unhurriedly to the corner of the corridor and waited quietly.
A group of guards with iron rods and safety shields were rushing forward.
Gao Zhengyang suddenly stood up and punched the shield in the leader's hand.
A few months of training had pushed his muscles and bones to the limits of a human. His special explosive strength technique made this strike even more ferocious.
With a muffled bang, the leader flew backwards as if he had been hit by a high-speed train. The six people behind him were all knocked down.
Three of them fainted from the impact. The remaining four struggled to get up. Gao Zhengyang stepped on each of them, and the four of them immediately stopped breathing.
After dealing with these people, Gao Zhengyang slowly pushed open the master bedroom door.
Old Hei, who had been lying in ambush at the door, pounced forward, revealing his white, sharp teeth.
Gao Zhengyang's foot landed squarely on the bulldog's chest. The violent force caused the bulldog's heart and other organs to explode.
The bulldog couldn't even make a sound before it fell to the ground, dead.
This attack was too fast, and there was practically no sound to it. Zhao Tianlong was still sleeping soundly.
Gao Zhengyang walked to the bedside and glanced at the peaceful sleeping Zhao Tianlong. "Little friend, you're a little mischievous, you know that?"
Zhao Tianlong was completely unaware of what was happening around him. At five in the morning the next day, he opened his eyes punctually according to his biological clock.
He stretched lazily and turned to look at the clock on the bedside table. But he didn't see the clock. Instead, he saw Old Hei lying on the bedside table. His fierce eyes were bloodstained and he looked exceptionally mournful.
Although Zhao Tianlong had been through a storm and hadn't made any preparations, he was startled and abruptly sat up.
After calming his mind, he discovered that Old Hei was already a corpse.
Beside Old Hei's head was a purple letter. Zhao Tianlong took it and discovered that it was the invitation he had given to Gao Zhengyang.
However, there were five words on the back of the invitation: Isn't it good to be alive?
