Chapter 273: Decision

"Especially in this industry, it can be said that there are more all-round talents, there are not a few people in this family who can do all kinds of things, and there are even people who can do Gu magic and medical skills, even if the negotiation fails, you must definitely stabilize your emotions and don't speak ill of them, otherwise if they make a move on you, I may not be able to stop the old bones."

When he was on the road, Old Man Zhao also briefly introduced the situation of this family to Su Jingchen, according to the old man's introduction, this family has existed for hundreds of years, if it were not for the modernization of society, it is estimated that they would have developed to an unimaginable level.

But even if it is illegal to do that now, this family is also thriving, at least much more powerful than some ordinary big families, after all, such a big family already belongs to the hidden family, simply put, it is a behemoth hidden behind the crowd.

Unless there is any major change in the family or the need for transformation, they will definitely not be exposed to the public eye, and ordinary people will not have the opportunity to learn about them.

This family is called the Simon family, and it is a rare compound surname. The patriarch of the family is called Ximen He, who is a ruthless man who is proficient in mechanical arts.

Some of the world's most famous mechanisms are very powerful, and the huge tombs are all solved by this person called Ximen Crane.

Because except for professionals like Ximen He, if other people want to crack it, it is estimated that they can only find death. Although these traps are not as complex as today's technology, their lethality is definitely leveraged.

Originally, they existed to protect the tombs, so that after death, they would not be disturbed by those tomb robbers, but now the people who know these mechanisms best are also tomb robbers.

Perhaps this is the same thing as saying that the person who knows you best is your enemy.

This Simon family is hidden in a manor on the outskirts of Los Angeles, this manor is very large, and it doesn't seem that there are many people coming and going Su Jingchen has not been here, but some people who come out for an outing are estimated to pass by here, but those who pass by would never have thought that there is such a big behemoth hidden in this manor, even a big family like the Lin family can't compare.

Coming to the gate of the manor, perhaps because of preconceived reasons, Su Jingchen always felt that there seemed to be a lot of traps in this manor, so he didn't rush in, but first saw what Old Man Zhao said.

"Su Jingchen, don't underestimate this manor, according to the rumors circulating in the rivers and lakes now, there are at least 108 organs in this manor, each of which can kill people, unless they are their own family, otherwise if others are there only a dead end, this is why such a large manor, you can't see any gatekeepers around. ”

"Because the people in this family, they don't need to hire bodyguards or hire people at all, their own family can do everything on their own, they just need to use their own people, and even traps can replace the bodyguards of those big families outside. ”

Old Man Zhao's words confirmed Su Jingchen's conjecture, this place really has a mechanism, fortunately Su Jingchen didn't break through just now, if he relied on his strength to break through, it is estimated that the end will be miserable.

"You wait here, I'll call the door, for the sake of the old man and my face, it is estimated that the patriarch of their family will come out in person, and you can negotiate with them when the time comes." ”

When I came to the gate of the manor, you know that the old man knocked on the door according to a specific method, which is a specific means for people in their rivers and lakes to worship the mountain door, and this knock means that there are important people who come out to greet them.

Sure enough, after Old Man Zhao knocked on the door, he quickly ran out of the manor, a pair of people in black, these men in black seemed to be representatives of the force in the ordinary family.

The captain of the black-clothed man at the head really knew Old Man Zhao, and the moment he saw Old Man Zhao, his brows furrowed tightly, obviously not welcoming Old Man Zhao to their manor.

"Why are you here again surnamed Zhao, is it that your waste son is dead now, and we have come to justice, but I can tell you about this matter, it has nothing to do with us, and now there are a few people in our family who can't hold on, if you want revenge, go and tear down that tomb again." ”

The man in black obviously had a clear understanding of what happened to Old Man Zhao and them, so the moment he saw Old Man Zhao come out, he probably guessed what Old Man Zhao wanted to do.

It's just that maybe he was afraid of Old Man Zhao's strength, so he didn't directly drive people away, but simply explained it, and it was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with their family, which was a wise approach.

"Hmph, I know that my son's matter has nothing to do with you, and I didn't come here to dwell on this matter this time. ”

"Let your patriarch come out and see me and say that I have something important, and you have to discuss it with your patriarch, and of course if he doesn't come to see me, I don't mind going in and meeting him. ”

Old Man Zhao had always looked old in front of Su Jingchen, but at this time, he was domineering, his waist was no longer rickety, his body was straightened, and even the crutches in his hands seemed to have become a sharp weapon for killing.

If it weren't for Su Jingchen witnessing it with his own eyes, he would definitely think that the old man Zhao just now and the current old man Zhao were two people, after all, this was too big a change in this regard, so big that Su Jingchen couldn't believe it.

Hearing Old Man Zhao's threat, this man in black, the team leader hesitated, and could only wave his hand to let the people inside in to report.

Since Old Man Zhao wants to see their team leader, then he will report this matter to the patriarch and let their patriarch decide, if the patriarch wants to see it, then he will naturally come out, if the team leader doesn't want to see it, then they can only fight.

A moment later, there was another rush of footsteps in the manor, and then a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses who looked very gentle walked out.

Seeing this middle-aged man, it is not difficult for Su Jingchen to imagine that this person should be the current patriarch of the Ximen family, but this patriarch's current appearance is a little different from Su Jingchen's previous conjecture, originally Su Jingchen thought that the patriarch of the Ximen family should also be an old man, but he didn't expect that it was actually a middle-aged man, and it was full of literary and artistic atmosphere, which was not at all different from the legendary tomb robbers.

"Hehehe, Old Man Zhao, I heard that you want to see me, I don't know what to ask me about this time?"

Ximen He smiled slightly and came to Su Jingchen in front of the two of them, I don't know why Su Jingchen looked at the man in front of him, and he could always think of two idioms, that is, well-dressed beasts and sanctimonious.

"Ximen He, you don't pretend to me in front of my old man, I know very well what kind of person you are, you don't have to pretend in front of me, don't you feel tired? I came here this time for your own good, aren't there five important people in your family who have been seriously injured and have no way to treat them now? I came here to treat them this time. ”

Old Man Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ximen He, and went straight to the point. Obviously, Old Man Zhao is also very disgusted with this Ximen Crane, which means that Su Jingchen's guess in his heart is not wrong, the guy in front of him is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, he looks like Sven on the outside, but he is actually vicious on the inside.

Hearing Old Man Zhao's words, Ximen He frowned, he never thought that Old Man Zhao was actually this purpose, but he was very puzzled, obviously there was a deep hatred between him and Old Man Zhao, why did Old Man Zhao bring someone over to help him?

Hearing Ximen He's words, Su Jingchen didn't speak directly, but looked at Ximen He, and the meaning of this sentence was very simple, that is, Ximen He invited himself to the manor.

I really thought that this Ximen Crane was targeting himself so much just now, just forget it, Su Jingchen must have to find a way to retaliate back, at least not to make the other party too comfortable.

Su Jingchen's previous idea was to exchange those 5 lives for the opportunity for Zhao Wenlong to be with his beloved woman, but now Su Jingchen should pay attention, on the basis of this condition unchanged, Su Jingchen also planned to blackmail Ximen He.

After all, this is 5 lives, and it is not a short condition that can be offset by Su Jingchen, even if he extorts a sum of money, it is estimated that the other party has no reason to say anything.

If you let Ximen He know, it is because he just said a word of annoyance, and then he will have to pay a huge monetary price, he will definitely slap himself a few times, why do you have to export it to others, isn't it good to complete this transaction peacefully?

"Well, please. ”

Ximen He gritted his teeth, but he still made a love move, invited Su Jingchen and Old Man Zhao to his manor, and called other important people in the surrounding families to suppress the field together.

If other people may be frightened by this scene, but Old Man Zhao and Su Jingchen are both people who have seen the world and have confidence in their hearts, so even if there are more people coming, they will not be afraid at all, and the two of them are sitting there with such a big thorn to eat and drink, and they really regard themselves as guests.

After eating and drinking, Su Jingchen burped with satisfaction, and then opened his mouth to discuss and confirm.

And at this time, Ximen He, who was standing on the side, his face was already pale, and he couldn't wait to come up and slap Su Jingchen's two mouths fiercely, such an excessive person, he was the first time he had seen him.

"Hahahaha, thank you Patriarch Simon for your hospitality, it's worthy of a big family, this meal is just good, okay, it's time to talk about business. ”

"You don't have to doubt the matter of Old Man Zhao's son, with your means, it is estimated that someone has already been sent to investigate at this time. ”

Su Jingchen showed a meaningful smile on his face, the reason why he had eaten for so long just now was to disgust Ximen Crane, on the one hand, it was to give Ximen Crane enough time for them to investigate this matter, Su Jingchen was confident, so he was not afraid of the investigation, he believed that the latest investigation results would satisfy them in the end.

Sure enough, hearing Su Jingchen's words, Ximen He nodded unwillingly, he had indeed sent someone to investigate just now, and the son of Old Man Zhao seemed to have woken up, although there was no clear sign of recovery, but it was not easy for people to wake up.

Because I know that the 5 people in their family are still sick in bed, they have no means of treatment at all, they can only watch their condition deteriorate little by little, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will die completely.

And at this time, Su Jingchen suddenly appeared, and they could only listen to Su Jingchen's opinion, meet Su Jingchen's request, and then save the person.

"Since you have investigated and know that I can save people, then I won't talk nonsense, and directly put forward the conditions, I have a little friendship with Zhao Wenlong now, but from there I learned that you have been meddling in the affairs between him and his beloved woman, so my first condition is to let you stop meddling in this matter, so that they can have lovers and eventually become married, this condition is not difficult for you, right?"
