Facing nearly a hundred people, Tan Xiu didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. On the contrary, his heart was filled with worry and bitterness at this time. Others were now considering who the real culprit was, but he was considering whether the Drunken Dragon Powder was concocted by a cultivator. If it was, then the culprit must be an evil cultivator who was proficient in poisons.
"Take care, Boss Wang."
Tan Xiu didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Although he was annoyed by the ruthlessness of the culprit, he didn't want to have a conflict with the culprit before confirming the identity of the culprit. It would be fine if the culprit was not an evil cultivator. But if it was an evil cultivator and he failed to get rid of him in time, it would definitely cause endless troubles in the future. He wasn't afraid of it, but he still had friends and family. It would be impossible to guard against the culprit if the culprit was someone he cared about.
Zhang Xinyue's complexion was faintly pale. She was glad that Tan Xiu came to Qinglin County. If Tan Xiu hadn't come, her elder sister, Zhang Xinya, wouldn't have been so heartbroken. She wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Shanghai to attend today's luncheon in place of her elder sister.
It could be said that Tan Xiu's appearance today not only saved her life, but also saved her elder sister's life.
At this moment …
Upon seeing that Tan Xiu was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Boss Wang, my work is done. Now, it's time for your company to sell the property. So, I'll take my leave first. "
Having said that, she didn't give Wang Xuegang any time to speak and hurriedly chased after Tan Xiu.
Wang Xuegang was very frightened at the moment, but he was also very angry. He didn't know who was so vicious as to poison him, the guests he invited, and even the guests who bought the villa to death. He didn't care about Zhang Xinyue's departure, but Tan Xiu's departure made him more worried.
"Please wait, Boss Tang."
Wang Xuegang hurriedly chased after him and stopped Tan Xiu at the hall's entrance.
"Our friendship hasn't reached the point where I can risk my life for you, Boss Wang." Tan Xiu shook his head. "It's obvious that someone wants to put you to death and even wants you to never be able to rise again. It's not appropriate for me to get involved in such a grudge. Listen to my advice, the business can continue, but you should find a safe place to hide. "
"Boss Tang, I know I shouldn't have dragged you into this, but I can't avoid it!" Wang Xuegang bitterly said. If the other party really wants to kill me, they'll definitely do everything they can to kill me. "
Tan Xiu said, "If you're really afraid, then dispose of your business as fast as possible and run away with the cash! There's one thing I didn't want to tell you at first, but since your son is willing to take me to the Qingcheng Sect, I'll kindly tell you this: Drunken Dragon Powder isn't something that ordinary people can refine. There must be a cultivator behind it. In addition, the cost of refining the Drunken Dragon Powder was extremely high. It was difficult to measure even with money. Therefore, if the other party did not have a deep grudge against you, it was absolutely impossible for them to commit such a heinous poisoning act in today's society. Alright, I've said what I need to say. You're on your own now. "
A cultivator?
Deep fear burst out from Wang Xuegang's eyes. He wouldn't be so afraid if it was an ordinary enemy who wanted to seek revenge against him. At worst, he could give up his business for the time being and hide with his Big Brother of the Qingcheng Sect.
But …
But if it was a cultivator, the Qingcheng Sect's people wouldn't be able to protect him even if he fled to the Qingcheng Sect. He might even implicate the entire Qingcheng Sect.
"Let's go to a faraway place."
A firm look appeared on Wang Xuegang's face. He didn't like to be sloppy in dealing with people. Since the other party might be a cultivator, then he must go to a faraway place to save his life. Otherwise, he would lose everything if he lost his life, no matter how much money he had.
"Boss Tang, can I ask you a favor? You can rest assured that I'm not asking you to get involved in this matter. I just want you to take my son to the Qingcheng Sect and hand him over to my Big Brother. "
"You don't need to say it, I'll take him there," said Tan Xiu.
Wang Tao, who followed him out, immediately shook his head and loudly said, "I'm not leaving, Dad. Someone wants to harm us, so I must advance and retreat with you. "
"Idiot!"
Wang Xuegang angrily shouted, "If the other party is really a cultivator, you'll only be throwing your life away in vain even if you stay. Without you in Qinglin County, I'll have nothing to worry about. I'll deal with my family's business as fast as possible and gather as much money as possible before I flee this place. I'll naturally find a way to contact you and pick you up after I've settled down. "
"I …"
Wang Tao still wanted to speak, but Tan Xiu stopped him.
"Your Dad's right. You'll only be a burden to him and won't get any benefits if you stay," said Tan Xiu. "Let's go! Let's go to the Qingcheng Sect first and not affect your Dad's work … "
A few minutes later.
Tan Xiu and the others came to the parking lot. He immediately raised his brows when he saw Mo Awu, Jin Shi, and the others waiting for him. He had just fed the soup to the chickens and sheep and was waiting for the result. He had secretly ordered Mo Awu and the others to go to the kitchen to find the suspect who poisoned them. Now that they had all come back, it meant that the result was out.
"We caught two, Boss."
Mo Awu quickly glanced at Wang Tao and Zhang Xinyue and then reported in a low voice.
"Where are they?" asked Tan Xiu.
Mo Awu pointed to the window and said, "They're inside. They're both martial arts practitioners and can be regarded as experts in today's society."
Tan Xiu nodded in response. He then came to the car's door in a few steps. After opening the door, he saw two middle-aged men tied up in the back seat. They were bleeding from their seven apertures and were paralyzed in the car, losing their breath.
"They're dead?"
Mo Awu muttered to himself in disbelief.
Tan Xiu quickly checked the two men's bodies and finally concluded that they committed suicide by taking poison. However, they were tied up tightly, indicating that they had embedded the poison sacs in their dentures in advance. Once they were captured, they would bite the poison sacs and commit suicide.
This was a big problem.
Tan Xiu looked at the two corpses with a headache. He never thought that he would encounter such an unlucky thing after attending the opening ceremony of the villa complex that he was unwilling to attend.
Behind him.
Wang Tao and Zhang Xinyue looked at the two corpses in the car with fear written all over their faces. One of them was a second-generation rich kid, while the other was a small business owner. They had never seen such a murder case in reality. How could they ever see corpses bleeding from their seven apertures? If it weren't for Tan Xiu, Mo Awu, and the others, they would have run away in fear.
"Tang … Tan Xiu, what should we do now?"
Zhang Xinyue subconsciously grabbed Tan Xiu's arm and asked with a trembling voice.
Tan Xiu gently patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. It's just two nameless people who died. I'm afraid there's a mastermind behind this incident who hasn't shown himself yet. Anyways, I'll send Awu to send you back to the hotel first. You'll immediately leave Qinglin County after you meet up with your sister. "
Zhang Xinyue calmed herself down and suddenly realized something. She quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Zhang Xinya's number. After talking with the other party for a while and learning that her sister was safe and sound, she hurriedly hung up the phone.
"I can't go back to meet up with my sister now, Tan Xiu."
"Why?" asked Tan Xiu, confused.
"Today's incident is too strange. We still haven't figured out who the real target of the mastermind is until now," said Zhang Xinyue. "It's better to be safe than sorry. What if the person they want to kill is not Wang Xuegang but me? So I think it's better to follow you first. "
"Your sister …" Tan Xiu frowned.
"Others don't know about our sister's situation. They won't keep their eyes on the hotel as long as I don't go back," said Zhang Xinyue. "I'll inform my sister to leave Qinglin County now and go back to Shanghai to wait for me."
"I want to go back to Sis Xinya."
Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly said.
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right. Let's do it this way! I'll send Gu Tao and Zhang Jue to escort this little girl to meet up with your sister, and then send them all the way to Shanghai. Since you're going to stay with me, it's good to use you as a distraction. However, we're going to enter the depths of Qingcheng Mountain. Do you think your little body can withstand it? "
Zhang Xinyue was very satisfied with Tan Xiu's arrangement and seriously said, "I can do it as long as you can."
"Alright, it's decided then," said Tan Xiu. "Gu Tao, Zhang Jue, you two take her and leave immediately. Don't stay in Qinglin County for a long time. Xue Sha, Hei Xiong, you two find a way to dispose of these two bodies and don't leave any traces. "
"Understood!"
The four cupped their fists and answered.
Half an hour later.
Tan Xiu's group of five stopped at the top of the outermost mountain peak of Qingcheng Mountain. As Tan Xiu lit a cigarette and just took two puffs, two figures dashed over lightning-fast and quickly arrived in front of Tan Xiu.
"We've disposed of those two bodies, Boss. There's absolutely no trace left," reported Xue Sha while cupping his fists.
Tan Xiu nodded and looked at Zhang Xinyue and Wang Tao, who were panting at this time. Then, he said, "Let's rest here for the time being and continue our journey 20 minutes later. Tell me, Wang Tao. How long will it take for us to reach Qingcheng Monastery? "
Wang Tao panted and looked at the northern mountain range and said, "We'll reach Qingcheng Monastery tomorrow evening at least if we follow this method. I know the way, but we may encounter danger on the way since there are many wild beasts in the deep mountains and forests. "
"Don't worry, ordinary wild beasts are no threat to us," said Tan Xiu indifferently.
Recalling Tan Xiu's identity, Wang Tao nodded and said, "I'm not too worried since Big Brother Tang is with us. It's just that … we didn't prepare water and food before we set off. I'm afraid we'll be in trouble if we get thirsty and hungry on the way. "
"Hehe!"
Tan Xiu shook his head with a smile and didn't speak anything.
"It's the same for us whether we bring water and food or not," said Mo Awu in a rough voice. "In my eyes, this deep mountain forest is full of things to fill our stomachs."
