Chapter 246: Tentacles

"I should leave, otherwise it will be troublesome for the Fang family to catch me and pretend to be less in charge. Fang Jin said with a smile.

He calmly walked out of the station and blended into the bustling crowd.

This was the second day after they came back from the Raiders, and because the others were busy dealing with the Raiders, they left with their own people that day, and only he and Bai Xiu took the train back to the Twin Cities under the pretext of an excuse.

Bai Xiu didn't know what to say, so he nodded at him and said, "See you soon." ”

"Then we'll be able to meet soon. The other party smiled mysteriously, as if he remembered something, and said, "You still have that bank card, right?" ”

Bank card?

Bai Xiu was stunned, and immediately reacted, what he said was the card he got in Dragon Shadow Villa.

He was extremely surprised in his heart, he had never told anyone about this, but the other party knew so well, there was only one possibility.

It was left to him by this man.

"Who is he...... Bai Xiu's thoughts were racing, and he was about to chase after him and ask carefully, but unfortunately "Fang Jin" had long disappeared between people coming and going.

This made Bai Xiu more and more curious about the identity of the other party, and also tried to restore what happened on the night Li Chun was "killed".

After the lights go out in the casino, Bai Xiu goes to the office in the mezzanine, and at the same time, Zheng Ruyi lures Li Chun to a corridor where no one is around, kills him, and places his body on a chair in the office.

An hour later, Bai Xiu came out to check on Li Chun's situation;

At the same moment, "Fang Jin" crawled out of the dark passage, followed him closely, and after he left, he answered Cheng Lu's phone and put the bank card on the floor under the chair before they arrived.

He thought of a question, since "Fang Jin" could follow him unknowingly, could this person be the person in the video taken by Zheng Ruyi, that is, the person who took Wen Lang?

"Fang Jin" answered Cheng Lu's call, Bai Xiu could understand that he wanted to make himself aware of the existence of the bank card, so what did he do afterwards?

Protect yourself?

Still doesn't make sense......

And then there's the question of the murder itself, which is so weird.

Obviously, Li Chun is not dead, and even directed this scene with Zheng Ruyi, so what is their purpose?

It's not like Zheng Ruyi is blaming herself, or it's just a farce.

There must be some kind of meaning behind it.

So what exactly does Li Chun's death mean, or what impact does it have?

Bai Xiu carefully analyzed it.

First, this seems to have become the fuse for the outbreak of contradictions between Jiang Ling and Fang Chunjun, which in turn deepened the hatred between the two.

So, the object it is aimed at is actually Gangneung?

But it's still not right......

Even if Li Chun is loyal to Jiangling on the surface, he actually has two hearts, but what is the intersection between Zheng Ruyi and Jiangling?

"Is it ......?"

Bai Xiu thought of the second possibility, Li Chun's death actually had an extraordinary meaning for him, that is, he could completely change his identity and live again.

This obviously made Bai Xiu think of Fang Xuanjian, is Li Chun secretly planning something?

Or is there someone around him who is threatening him, so that he has to use the pretense of death golden cicada to get out of his shell, just like Fang Chengying's brothers and sisters back then.

Finally, there is the question about Li Kan.

Bai Xiu first met him in Hongmeng Town, and he had contacted Bai Xiu as a member of Yingzhou, but his origin was obviously not so simple.

There is a doubt, why did he "pretend" to lead Bai Xiu to Pengcheng in the first place, if he was really just a person from Yingzhou, he would never let Bai Xiu enter the territory of the Jiang family and bring trouble to their cooperation.

And at that time, it was Zheng Ruyi who saved him, did Li Kan mean the protection he was talking about?

Of course, from his few words, it seems to reveal a message that he and Zheng Ruyi seem to be from the same organization.

Given that both of them were victims of Xie Qingyuan's subordinates back then, could this organization exist because of revenge?

Even they were affiliated with the slings mentioned in his mother's letter.

So what are the tentacles in Bai Yan's mouth?

Bai Xiu thought of things like spies and undercover agents, but this didn't make Li Kan so frightened.

It seems that he has to contact Bai Yan.

Bai Xiu sighed, he found that his aunt's secret was no less than anyone else's.

She seems to have a connection to Zheng Ruyi's organization?

She seems to know what happened back then, at least she knows that he is not Bai Xiu?

Was that what she had meant to tell him in the letter?

Bai Xiu made up his mind, found a commissary, spent some money, and used the boss's landline to dial Bai Yan's phone.

It's a pity that she didn't pick it up, and the same goes for a few more hits, Bai Xiu doesn't know if it's a coincidence, or if she deliberately avoids herself.

In the end, he had no choice but to call Zheng Ruyi's phone, which was diametrically opposed to before, only ringing twice, and the other party answered.

Before he could speak, Zheng Ruyi not only guessed that it was him who called, but even knew exactly what he wanted to ask.

"Tulip café, easy to find, take a taxi over, I'll be waiting for you there, I also have something to say to you. ”

Bai Xiu was a little surprised, and simply asked, "You didn't leave?"

Zheng Ruyi smiled: "Of course, I know that you will definitely look for me." ”

Bai Xiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zheng Ruyi not only not to leave, but also to come to Shuangcheng to wait for him.

He hung up the phone with mixed feelings, hailed a taxi on the side of the road and went straight to the tulip café.

To his surprise, this seemingly famous tulip café is not in the city center, but in a resort in the suburbs.

As soon as he got out of the car, Bai Xiu saw Zheng Ruyi waiting not far away, and he was a little reluctant for a while.

Zheng Ruyi was much warmer than him, beckoned to him, and took the lead in walking towards a small garden-style building.

Bai Xiu followed him up to the third floor, only to find that it was open-air, and there was only a set of tables and chairs on the wide roof, which was very convenient for conversation, and it was obviously specially booked by him.

As soon as he sat down, Zheng Ruyi said straight to the point: "After meeting this time, I really have to leave." ”

Bai Xiu suddenly didn't know what to say, just nodded, still not asking him where he was going.

Zheng Ruyi was accustomed to his silence and said with a smile: "Say, what do you want to ask me, I will definitely not hide anything this time." ”

Seeing Bai Xiu's surprised face, he blinked rather funny and said, "Anyway, I'm leaving, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and I'm afraid that they won't be able to settle accounts with me." ”

He sighed, looked at Bai Xiu and said, "Why don't you leave with me?"

Without waiting for him to shake his head, Zheng Ruyi said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't persuade you anymore."

It's just that I know everything about the past two days, and it's a lie to say that I'm not worried, so I want to tell you everything I said I knew, hoping to help you get to the end. ”

Bai Xiu hesitated: "But your organization ......"

Zheng Ruyi said indifferently: "They have a lot of eyes and ears, but they are not everywhere, so I found this place to talk to you about these things." ”

Although there were still doubts, the desire for the truth overcame everything, and Bai Xiu asked the first question: "Do you know Bai Yan?"

Zheng Ruyi tilted her head to look at him, then nodded, and said, "I know, we met twenty years ago, but we haven't been in touch, she only looked for me a few days ago." ”

Bai Xiu sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that the previous guess was true, and Zheng Ruyi's birth certificate was indeed placed on the beam by Bai Yan.

She had always known the truth, but she was just hiding it from herself.

Bai Xiu's distraction, Zheng Ruyi naturally saw it in his eyes, and he said: "She has been looking for the truth of the year, and finally found me here, and I only knew that the girl who saved me back then was her." ”

"She saved you back then?" This was a bit unexpected for Bai Xiu.

Zheng Ruyi sighed: "Back then, Xie Qingyuan was looking for me to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but it was Bai Yan who hid me, and then I had the opportunity to join this organization and live until now." ”

Bai Xiu thought of another question: "Li Kan is ......"

"He's dead, isn't he?" Zheng Ruyi suddenly smiled and sneered, "This guy's background is similar to mine, but I hate him very much, not to mention that he still wants to kill you, so I used some means to let the above directly order him to kill." ”

Bai Xiu was quite surprised: "You killed him?!"

Zheng Ruyi waved his finger again and again, and said slyly: "No, no, no, it was his attempt to reveal the secrets of the organization that was killed." ”

Bai Xiu felt a little uneasy in his heart for no reason, but when he studied it carefully, he couldn't catch that bit of aura.

In the end, he had to refocus his attention on the problem at hand, hesitated again and again, and finally spoke: "Tentacles...... What are the tentacles?"

"Tentacle ......" A trace of horror climbed into Zheng Ruyi's eyes, and his face instantly turned pale and even a little hideous.

Li Kan's appearance before his death instantly came into Bai Xiu's mind, he was startled for no reason, and subconsciously took Zheng Ruyi's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, don't think about it......"

"Nope. Zheng Ruyi suddenly returned to normal, nodded to himself, and said, "To ask, this is the biggest threat they give you." ”

Before Bai Xiu could even come back to his senses, Zheng Ruyi had already asked, "Brother, do you know how ants transmit information? Yes, it's the tentacles." ”

A chill silently climbed Bai Xiu's back, and he faintly sensed that what Zheng Ruyi was talking about was not an ant, but a terrible secret.

"We all know that each pair of antennae represents the existence of an ant, and an ant is not the tentacle of something else. "And they're all around us."

The role of the antennae, the first is to indicate the identity of the ant, and the second is to transmit information to other ants.

Once one of the ants dies, its smell disappears and the queen makes new ants. ”

He laughed to himself: "So the thing that ants rely on and fear the most is their tentacles, and once their tentacles begin to produce the breath of death, it means that it is about to die."

It is a taboo in the hearts of ants. ”

The increasingly ominous premonition Bai Xiu's heart beat rapidly, and in order to appease it, Bai Xiu asked, "Is that organization tentacles, ants, or people who raise ants?"

Zheng Ruyi looked up at the blue sky at the end of autumn and said slowly: "It is both a tentacle and an ant, but it is not a person who raises ants. ”

Bai Xiu was curious: "Why do the people who raise ants raise ants?"

"A thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an anthill. Zheng Ruyi looked at him and said meaningfully, "If you want to destroy something, you have to disintegrate it from the inside." ”

Bai Xiu frowned and said, "Then what is everything they are doing for, and what is there that is worth raising so many ants for them?"

Zheng Ruyi suddenly fell silent.

It took him a while before he raised his head and looked at Bai Xiu, and said slowly, "If I say that what they have been looking for is you, do you believe it?"
