Yuan Zhengxuan now regarded the researchers in the research institute as a hot potato. He would feel uneasy if he were to abandon them. But if he didn't abandon them, it would be useless in the future. It was precisely in this dilemma that Tan Xiu's proposal made Yuan Zhengxuan very satisfied. He didn't mention the price, but put forward a condition instead.
"Please say it, Uncle Yuan!"
Tan Xiu cautiously looked at Yuan Zhengxuan. He also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Since Yuan Zhengxuan didn't want to sell the researchers to him, then his condition would probably not be easy to fulfill.
Sure enough.
"You have the ability to turn stone into gold, Tan Xiu," said Yuan Zhengxuan with a smile. "Your vision and ability are incomparable to ordinary people. I need a project, and I want to cooperate with you in some fields. As long as you let me invest the money I have, I'll give you my research institute for free, and I'll also introduce those researchers to you. "
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows. If he had a good project, he would have invested the money long ago. Why would he wait until now? The difficult problem thrown by Yuan Zhengxuan left him at a loss as to how to deal with it for a while.
Yuan Zhengxuan could see Tan Xiu's dilemma, so he lightly smiled and said, "I know it's unrealistic to ask you to give me a project now. I can give you the lab and those researchers in advance. You just need to give me a promise."
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and then said, "I can't guarantee 100%. But if I have any business plan and come across a good project in the future, Uncle Yuan will be my first choice as long as I need to cooperate with others."
Yuan Zhengxuan clapped and said with a satisfied smile, "Then it's settled. The experts and professors of the research institute have gone home for the New Year and will come back to work after the New Year. Let's set a date and I'll take you there myself. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile.
In fact, he didn't have the confidence to study the Magnetic Levitation Flying Disc. After all, he didn't know much about the research of science and technology. The reason why he wanted to study it was that he had seen it before. He knew how big of a sensation it would cause once it was developed and how terrifying the profits would be.
Ring, ring, ring …
Tan Xiu's mobile suddenly rang.
Tan Xiu picked up his mobile and looked at the caller ID. He immediately connected the call and said, "Sis Xiaowan, are you back to Star City?"
Chen Xiaowan's voice sounded, "Yes, he's back. Where are you now? Is it convenient for you to come out and meet me? "
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "I still have something to do now. I'll treat you to lunch."
"Sure!"
Chen Xiaowan readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Xiu looked at Yuan Zhengxuan and said, "Uncle Yuan, remember to call me when those researchers start working after the New Year. I'll be in Star City before the 15th of the first lunar month. "
Yuan Zhengxuan smiled. "No problem."
Subsequently, Tan Xiu got up to leave. Although Yuan Zhengxuan and Zhao Jing wanted to ask Tan Xiu to stay for a meal, Tan Xiu declined because he had an appointment with Chen Xiaowan. Yuan Chuling didn't leave with him. He just came back from Shanghai and planned to stay at home to accompany his parents for the next few days. After experiencing so many things, Yuan Chuling was obviously much more mature than before, which made Yuan Zhengxuan and Zhao Jing feel gratified.
However …
On the way to see Chen Xiaowan, Tan Xiu received a call from Su Ben and learned about a major event. Therefore, he immediately contacted Chen Xiaowan and told her that he had encountered an urgent matter and had to go back to his hometown. Therefore, after the call, he directly turned the steering wheel and rushed to his hometown.
Su Ben called him and said that there had been several murders in the Su Family Village and several nearby villages in recent days. According to the investigation of the local public security department, they found that the culprit of these murders was not humans, but very terrifying beasts.
This situation reminded Tan Xiu of what Su Ben had said when he was in the back mountain of the Su Family Village. He said that there was a leopard bigger than a bull in the back mountain. Tan Xiu's initial judgment was that the leopard should be a fierce beast. Unfortunately, he didn't find the leopard at that time, so he couldn't get rid of it.
At the Su Family Village in Songlou Town.
The New Year was approaching. At this time in the past, the whole village was full of jubilant scenes. Children wore washed clothes and ran around, setting off firecrackers, pasting couplets, and playing around. The adults were preparing for the New Year's goods, or gathering in groups of three or five to chat.
However …
When Tan Xiu drove into the village, only a few men came back from the outside. They were holding shovels and harpoons in their hands with solemn expressions on their faces.
Creak …
The car stopped beside them. Tan Xiu faced them and asked with concern, "What's the situation now? How many people in our Su Family Village have been killed? "
Among the men, one of them had received a favor from Tan Xiu. He was Su Xiangjian, who was beaten and sent to the Shanghai Hospital. Upon hearing Tan Xiu's inquiry, he squeezed out a bitter smile and said, "Two. Changwen and Gangzi are dead. "Alas, that goddamn beast. Hundreds of people from our villages went into the mountain together, but we couldn't find its shadow. I really want to kill it."
Tan Xiu quickly asked, "What about the other villages? How many people were killed or injured? "
Su Xiangjian said, "There are two in our village and four in the other villages. Six have died and a few are injured. Wang Haiyang from Xiaowang Village is badly injured. I'm afraid he won't live past the end of the year."
Tan Xiu asked again, "Where was everyone attacked by the beast?"
Su Xiangjian pointed to the north and said bitterly, "Several people in our village were in the orchard at the foot of the mountain. They were pruning the apple trees. Who would have thought that they would be attacked by the beast? "The people in the other villages were also killed near the back of the mountain. Those who survived said that it was that leopard the size of a bull. "
Tan Xiu nodded silently. He took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them. Then he talked with them for a while and drove to the gate of his grandmother's house.
"Tan Xiu!"
Su Ben and Su Quan, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly greeted him.
After getting off the car, Tan Xiu said, "I just entered the village and met Uncle Xiangjian and learned about the situation from them. Brother Ben, Su Quan, wait for me outside for a while. I'll go inside and greet Grandma, and then you'll go with me to the back of the mountain. "
"You can't go, Tan Xiu," said Su Ben quickly.
Tan Xiu shot him a deep look and seriously said, "Brother Ben, there's something you may not know. I've been practicing martial arts with an expert in recent years, and my martial arts foundation is very deep. Even eight or ten men won't be my match. Besides, with you following us, we can kill that leopard as long as we can find it. "
"Listen to my advice, Tan Xiu." Su Ben shook his head and said, "That leopard is not an ordinary beast. Many people are now saying that the leopard has become a spirit. Let alone the three of us, even if 30 people go together, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to come out of the back of the mountain alive if we don't have any weapons. "
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment and then said, "Wait for me first, I'll tell you later."
After having said that.
Tan Xiu strode into the courtyard and saw Su Xiangfei rubbing a javelin. Tan Xiu was slightly surprised and immediately asked, "When did you come back?"
"I've been back for more than a week," said Su Xiangfei with a smile.
"Is Grandma inside?" Tan Xiu nodded and asked.
"She's inside and slept after lunch," answered Su Xiangfei. "Grandma has been in good health recently, but she's a bit sad because of the death in our village and has been in a bad mood these days."
Tan Xiu nodded without a word and said, "Since she's asleep, then I'll go out to handle something first."
"I heard your conversation from inside," said Su Xiangfei quickly. "I'll go with you."
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Brother Kai, Su Quan, and I are enough. Don't worry, it'll be fine. "
"One more person means one more force." Su Xiangfei shook his head. "I must go with you, Tan Xiu."
Tan Xiu hesitated for a moment. Looking at his firm expression, he immediately nodded and said, "Let's go then!"
After returning to the outside, Tan Xiu took out a pistol from his pocket and showed it to them. Then, he quickly put it away and said in a low voice, "This gun is for self-defense. When we get to the back of the mountain, once we find that leopard, I'll shoot it if we can't kill it with force."
"Tan Xiu, you … how come you have a gun?" Asked Su Quan in shock.
This pistol was actually obtained by Tan Xiu after he killed the Yao Family's people. He also had a lot of pistols in his interspatial ring, including submachine guns and sniper rifles. However, he couldn't tell them about it, so he made up a lie, "I'm a Boss with a net worth of billions now. If someone has evil thoughts and wants to murder me for money, I'll be in danger if I don't have something to defend myself with. Don't worry, I won't use this gun to do anything illegal. It's just for self-defense. "
Su Ben and Su Quan suddenly understood. Both of them were employees of the Magnificent Tang Corp, and Su Ben was now the vice-captain of the security team of the company's winery. They naturally knew that the security team of the Magnificent Tang Corp also had guns. Moreover, they had applied for legal guns from the government. Su Xiangfei didn't know about this situation, but after realizing Tan Xiu's current status, he understood Tan Xiu's words.
Ten minutes later.
Tan Xiu drove the trio to the back of the mountain. After parking the car at the foot of the mountain, they hurried along the mountain path. They were very vigilant. Aside from Tan Xiu carrying a pistol, Su Ben and Su Quan were holding a harpoon and a shovel respectively, while Su Xiangfei was holding his javelin.
After arriving at the golden mountain, Tan Xiu had been releasing his spiritual sense. Although his current cultivation was very high, he didn't know the strength of the leopard. Moreover, he also needed to ensure the safety of the three people following him.
"Give me the directions. I used to come to the back of the mountain when I was a child, but if I go too deep, my memory of many places will be blurred." Tan Xiu told them the real purpose of bringing the trio here.
"Let's search the periphery first," said Su Ben. "If we can't find it, we'll go deeper. There are many dangerous places in the valley after crossing this mountain. I'm familiar with those places, so just follow me. "
