The ordinary-looking middle-aged man lowered his head as he walked up to the second floor of the teahouse. He arrived in front of Bai Shuitang's private room.
Bai Shuitang glanced at the figure behind the beaded curtain and waved his hand casually. Bai Zhan, who was beside him, understood and directly walked out.
When he walked out, Bai Zhan glanced at the middle-aged man and found that he was not fat. However, his face was very big and gave off a fierce feeling. Moreover, his eyes were very cold.
Bai Zhan did not say much and immediately walked up the stairs and left.
The middle-aged man opened the beaded curtain and walked into the private room. He sat down opposite Bai Shuitang and took the tea that Bai Shuitang poured for him.
"That guy didn't come, but I received the report that he completed the mission." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "In the wee hours of the morning, I sent people to check the scene. There were traces of explosions everywhere. One of the cars was indeed blown off the cliff. If she was in the car at that time, there was no possibility of her survival."
Bai Shuitang listened quietly.
Suddenly, Bai Shuitang stood up and walked back and forth in the private room with his hands behind his back. He lowered his head and pondered. "Why don't you think he came after completing the mission?"
The middle-aged man said, "There are several possibilities. First, he might know that we will kill him after the mission, so he didn't come. Second, he knew the target's background, so he didn't dare to stay. He simply didn't ask for the rest of the money and directly fled. There is also the possibility that he is dead. "
Bai Shuitang said, "Which possibility do you think it is?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment. "It should be the second possibility. After all, this guy was a bit greedy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted this mission. "
Bai Shuitang suddenly said, "Why not the third possibility?"
The middle-aged man said, "If it was the third possibility, unless the Song family had the ability to predict the future, it would be impossible for them to immediately find and kill or capture him after he succeeded."
"Hmm … that makes sense." Bai Shuitang nodded and then said in a low voice, "It's fine if he ran away and never came back. However, I don't want such a thing to happen … Let's go and see if this guy has anyone he cares about. Even if he is an orphan, there will always be people and things that he can't let go of. "
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Then, what do you plan to do with the Song family?"
Bai Shuitang looked at his watch. "It's already so late. Old Song should be awake by now. The Song family probably already knows what happened. Fifth Brother can't hide it. "
"Song Tianyou, that old geezer, is probably going to get angry. I heard that his heart hasn't been well these past few years. Maybe we can just anger him to death and save us the trouble. "The middle-aged man sneered.
Bai Shuitang shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate anyone from the Song family. Even without Song Tianyou, the Song family still had Song Haoran, who was the most terrifying person in the Song family. As long as Song Haoran is alive, the Song family will not fall, and the Iris Flowers will not disappear. "
When Bai Shuitang mentioned 'Iris Flower', the middle-aged uncle suddenly gripped the teacup in his hand. Because he gripped it too hard, the tea in the teacup shook violently.
Bai Shuitang turned around and looked at the middle-aged uncle. He said indifferently, "Basil, if you can't control your emotions, I won't continue to cooperate with you."
The middle-aged uncle … Basil slowly raised his head. He suddenly reached out and grabbed his own hair. He pulled out all his hair — it turned out that he was wearing a wig.
After taking off the wig, there was an ugly burn mark on the top of Basil's head.
Basil stared at Bai Shuitang. "One day, you'll experience what I've experienced."
Bai Shuitang pressed his hands on the table and leaned over. He looked into Basil's eyes and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't forget who attacked my brother and sister-in-law first … If your family wasn't stupid and dared to blow up my brother and sister-in-law's car, your small country wouldn't have been destroyed by the Song family! You brought this upon yourself! "
Basil snorted, "That guy is a sinner of the country and has been convicted long ago! We've offered it to them, but the Song family still refused to let it go! I'll never forget that day when they attacked and massacred the entire palace! "
Bai Shuitang snorted, "The Song family is ruthless, especially when it comes to Song Tianyou. More than ten years ago, Song Tianyou wasn't like now, concealing his strength and biding his time. He was a ruthless person. The Song family has always been an eye for an eye and blood for blood to their enemies, especially their life and death grudges. Your family killed Song Tianyou's daughter and son-in-law, so he'll naturally exterminate your family. Song Tianyou is already merciful for not burying your small country with them. "
Basil also said coldly, "You're not a good person either."
Bai Shuitang didn't comment.
He slowly sat down and said indifferently, "Basil, I don't view you as an enemy, but as a partner. You want to exterminate the Song family, and I want the Song family's wealth. We each take what we need. I'm just reminding you that before you succeed, you'd better not let your anger overwhelm your rationality. "
Basil raised his cup and swallowed the tea in it. He remained silent.
Bai Shuitang tidied up his clothes and stood up, "I'm about to go to work. I'll inform you if there's any news."
Basil suddenly said, "In two days, all my men will be here."
Bai Shuitang frowned, "So soon? It's much earlier than the original plan. "
Basil said, "They can't wait that long … They've been patient for a long time in the past ten years. If I don't satisfy them, even I can't control it. "
"Hatred is not a good thing." Bai Shuitang shook his head, "I'll act according to the circumstances."
"That's the best." Basil looked at Bai Shuitang's back as he left, his eyes full of strong killing intent, "The Song family's wealth, by you? That's my … wealth for restoring my country! "
…
In fact, it was only a few hundred meters from the teahouse to the Chamber of Commerce's office on Zhonghua Street, but Bai Shuitang still left in his car.
At this time, the performance in the teahouse had finished, and the next performance would be in the afternoon. Luoqiu glanced at Basil. Basil also went downstairs not long after, but he didn't leave through the front door of the teahouse.
Luoqiu thought for a moment. It seemed like what Song Ying said was true. A family like the Song family was indeed full of hidden murderous intentions.
He shook his head, put down the tea money on the table, and left.
At this time, Luoqiu first went to the market on Zhonghua Street to buy some things, then walked downstairs to Yuna's house. He found that Mr. Blind and Song Da had also left.
Yuna was alone at home, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
Luoqiu didn't stay and walked toward the Chamber of Commerce on Zhonghua Street. He didn't enter the Chamber of Commerce, but went to the alley where the back door of the Chamber of Commerce on Zhonghua Street was.
When he first came to this place, Song Haoran had brought him here once. Luoqiu was very interested in the 'Gate of Life' that Master Song had specially set up, but at that time, the 'Gate of Life' had been secretly sealed by Bai Shuitang.
At this time, the 'Gate of Life' wasn't sealed. When he came here, Luoqiu happened to see a woman open the 'Gate of Life', but she walked out with a gloomy expression.
Luoqiu walked to the side of the woman without any sense of presence. At this time, a man in a suit walked out of the 'Gate of Life'. He should be an employee of the Chamber of Commerce.
The man said coldly, "Go back and think about it. We can help you with that, but there are new rules now. You know, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. "
The middle-aged woman begged, "I had no choice but to knock on the 'Gate of Life'. Didn't Master Song say that no matter what difficulties there were, as long as you were a Chinese person from Zhonghua Street, you could come? "
"That was in the past!" The man in the suit said impatiently, "Master Song said that, yes. But don't you think about what era it is now? Song Family is such a big family. How much does it cost to raise such a large group of people? You people who came to knock on the 'Gate of Life', just say a few words and we're just manpower and material resources. Who can bear it after a long time? If you want to help, you can pay according to the difficulty of the matter! This is the current rule! "
The middle-aged woman said sadly, "If I have enough money, do I still need to come here to knock on the 'Gate of Life'? Wasn't he already at the end of his rope? Big brother, please do me a favor … "
"No money?" The man in the suit chuckled, "Don't you still have a house? As long as you mortgage this house to us, we'll settle your matter for you immediately! "
The middle-aged woman said nervously, "No way! We worked hard for half of our lives to earn this house. It's the dowry for my daughter! "
"Go away, do whatever you want!" The man in the suit waved his hand and directly closed the 'Gate of Life' … This was a 'new' door after being renovated.
"What should I do …" The middle-aged woman was worried. She walked out of this small alley in a daze.
After the middle-aged woman left, Luoqiu came in front of this' new 'door. He touched it and suddenly sighed, "The reversal of life and death … has become the Gate of Death."
Shaking his head, Luoqiu, who was about to leave, suddenly looked at the corner of this small alley and walked over.
What was placed in the corner was an old door panel. There were many rust stains on it. Some of the places where the wood was inlaid had even started to rot.
Luoqiu squatted down and wiped his hand. His hand was full of dust. This door panel was the real 'Gate of Life'. It was just that it had been dismantled.
Luoqiu tapped on this door panel a few times with his finger and then listened quietly.
"Fortunately, it's not completely dead yet."
…
…
Ten whole months had passed.
At this time, a real chill could be felt in the entire house.
Song Tianyou, who was holding a crutch, sat upright on the seat of honor in the main hall of this house. His face was frosty.
This old man, who had already become kind, was like an Asura at this moment.
"Ten hours." Song Tianyou suddenly knocked on his crutch, "Ten whole hours have passed. Old Five, you're only telling me this now! Are you thinking of rebelling? "
Looking at the pale Song Tianyou, whose lips were trembling, the Fifth Uncle lowered his head in silence.
Song Tianyou was too agitated and couldn't help coughing. Song Haoran had to quickly go forward and patted his back, saying, "Dad, Fifth Uncle is loyal."
"Too loyal!" Song Tianyou coldly snorted, "You think you can hide it from me without letting me know? But have you ever thought, what if you really can't find the person? Old Five! Do you think I'm a person who can't take the blow and will enter the coffin at any time? "
"Old Master, I'm sorry." Fifth Uncle still lowered his head.
Song Tianyou's whole body softened at this time. He held his forehead and said sadly, "Song Ying and Luo Qiu … How can I face Xiao Ying's mother and my elder brother … Lao Wu, you're old and muddle-headed!"
"I'm sorry, Old Master." Fifth Uncle lowered his head even more.
"We didn't find Ying and Luoqiu's traces at the scene. Even Gan Hong is missing. So they might not be in trouble. " Song Haoran said calmly, "We've already called for help, but there's a large amount of fog below the cliff. It's too difficult to search, so I'm afraid it'll take some time."
Song Tianyou took a deep breath and knocked his walking stick on the ground. "Investigate! Find out who it is! The sports car won't explode for no reason! Find the mole, I'll make him suffer three to six holes! I'll use the family law myself! "
"Ying will be fine." At this moment, Song Haoran said in a low voice, "Since Mister Blind has given Xiao Ying's fortune and said that she will live a life of riches, she will naturally be blessed by the heavens. Father, you should at least understand Mister Blind's words. "
"I hope so." Song Tianyou sighed and said, "Old Five, don't lower your head, stand up straight!"
Only then did Fifth Uncle stand up straight.
"I'll settle this matter for you after we find Xiao Ying." Song Tianyou said in a low voice, "Go and make the arrangements. I want to go to the scene personally and see Luoqiu and Song Ying return!"
"Old Master, I'll do it right away!" Fifth Uncle hurried out.
Song Haoran patted Song Tianyou's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll go down the mountain to find them … You should trust my intuition, right?"
Fifth Uncle hurried back, "Old Master, Mr. Blind is back!"
"Invite him over!" Song Tianyou stood up.
…
…
It was almost impossible to see anything in the thick fog.
They couldn't tell north from south, east from west, and didn't know what was in front of them.
Song Ying and Gan Hong walked very slowly. Their bodies were tied with a tree vine, which Gan Hong had picked up from the ground. The reason for tying it was to prevent them from suddenly stepping on air and getting separated.
However, the fog seemed to be getting thicker. Song Ying, who was walking behind them, could only see a shadow of Gan Hong's back.
"Those wild wolves shouldn't be able to catch up with us." Gan Hong stopped, "Miss Ying, you must be tired. Take a rest here."
Saying this, Gan Hong brought over the only bottle of mineral water she found after waking up.
Song Ying was really thirsty. She took it subconsciously, opened it and poured it into her mouth — but she stopped after two mouthfuls.
She also remembered the fact that there was only one bottle of water beside her, but at this time, she had already drunk a third of the water.
"I've had enough. You should drink some too." Song Ying brought the water back, "If you fall down due to dehydration, it will be more troublesome for me. You should be the one who needs to maintain your strength first."
Gan Hong hesitated for a moment, but finally took it and took a small sip to moisten her lips.
Although the fog was dense, it was summer now. This place was hot and humid. They were sweating profusely. Soon, just sweating alone would cause symptoms of dehydration.
At this moment, they found a big rock and sat down. Song Ying looked at the vast expanse of whiteness in front of her and shook her head. It was easy to feel despair in such a situation.
"Gan Hong, let's say something … It's too quiet here." Song Ying suddenly said.
Gan Hong said, "What do you want to say?"
Song Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Hmm … How about the story of a wild man? I heard from my uncle that he explored the thick fog and chased after a wild man. "
Gan Hong didn't respond, so Song Ying said, "Then I'll say it … A long time ago, there was a wild man with long hair living in the mountains. This wild man was very strong and cruel … "
The voice of a story.
