Chapter Eighty-Eight: Into the Tiger's Den
(),
After the taxi left the city, it went straight to [Peacock Villa].
After entering the tourist area, the speed of the vehicle slows down significantly.
Because there are so many tourists, the autumn is crisp and the scenery here is unique, and people from all over the country flock here.
Tian Zhen opened his eyes and looked at the call on his phone, looking a little surprised.
The name shown above is Chu Yan.
Pressing the answer button, Tian Zhen said lightly: "Miss Chu Yan, suddenly called me, is there something wrong?"
"Tian Zhen, are you heading to Longxing Town?"
Tian Zhen suddenly sat up straight and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Listen to me, don't act rashly yet, I know where Jin Kuang is. Chu Yan's voice was a little excited.
"I know where he is, too!" Tian Zhen's tone was flat, but his eyes were a little cold.
Since Chu Yan knew Jin Kuang's whereabouts, why didn't she tell herself?
And now that she is almost at her destination, she calls to tell her not to be impulsive, what does this mean?
Could it be that the kidnapping of Jin Kuang and Ouyang Xiongba is actually related to the Chu family?
Thinking of this, Tian Zhen said a little depressedly: "Little Sister Chu Yan, do you mean that Jin Kuang and Ouyang Xiongba have suffered from unwarranted disasters?
"Whether it has anything to do is not something he can calculate, and his identity has been exposed, at this critical moment, the grandfather will inevitably be suspicious, thinking that we have reconciled, kidnapping him to hold the Jin family hostage, Peacock Villa is his base camp, where the master is like a cloud, you go without permission, it is very dangerous. β
Chu Yan's voice was hurried, and she looked very anxious: "I know that you are concerned about the safety of your friends, but please believe me, I am the same as you, and I also want to rescue my cousin, you wait for me first, we will discuss this matter in the long run." β
Tian Zhen frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." β
"No, you can't stay in Longxing Town, where the motorcycles and taxis are almost all his eyeliner, you are very likely to have been exposed. β
Tian Zhen was stunned and looked at the driver's uncle, but he didn't find anything.
This is an honest middle-aged old driver, and he will definitely not be a spy officer.
Chu Yan talked about Chu Zhen's forces.
Over the years, he avoided the Chu Group's real estate and security, concentrated on the development of side businesses, built scenic spots everywhere, and also acquired rough car companies, gathered idle people in society, and gradually formed a system of interests.
In the case that Chu Cheng was not in charge of things, he gradually encroached on the family business, and finally protested with Chu Cheng, and even became stronger.
If it weren't for Chu Cheng's [Tiger Roar Security] presided over by Xiandi, who was as stable as Mount Tai, I am afraid that Chu Zhen would have occupied the entire Chu family long ago.
As a member of Chu Cheng's family, although Jin Kuang's current former was expelled from the family by Chu Cheng, in the final analysis, she is still Chu Cheng's daughter.
Jin Kuang came to Shuangqing City to study this time, but at the critical moment when the two families were in tension, any foreign force was very likely to affect the balance and cause unimaginable consequences.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Chu Zhen will be nervous.
After listening to Chu Yan's story, Tian Zhen knew what kind of whirlpool Jin Kuang was involved in, and couldn't help frowning secretly.
This Chu Zhen can still have the upper hand against Chu Cheng, and he is obviously not a simple person.
When it comes to family interests, the humanity of these people is to be put in [quotation marks], and Jin Kuang will become a victim if he doesn't do it well.
And Ouyang Xiongba is even more innocent, completely affected by the disaster of the pond fish.
As a last resort, Tian Zhen didn't want to get involved in this kind of turmoil.
Now that Shuangqing City is about to come in a storm, a treasure map of Song Chucheng, a broken soul Song Chucheng is about to be traded here, and all the major sects of the Wumeng are estimated to be ready to move, plus the five major families that are bound to win, it can be said that this place has become the center of the whirlpool in an instant.
If it is placed in ancient times, it is estimated that it is the kind of city that is about to hold a martial arts conference.
One can imagine what kind of storm these traditional masters will set off.
In this sensitive period, it's absolutely right to keep a low profile.
"Master, please send me back to Xueba Hotel, just turn ahead. β
"I really don't understand you young people, you run so far and don't do anything, anyway, you just need to give money. β
The driver hit the steering wheel in front of him, but he drove past with a whoosh.
"Master, it's wrong, just turn back from here. β
Tian Zhen hurriedly shouted.
"Don't worry, young man, I'm a taxi driver, I know the route better than you, turn directly to the highway from the front, it's much faster than going here, although the distance is a little farther, but it can save a lot of time. β
The driver's explanation is acceptable, after all, he was stuck in a traffic jam when he came over just now.
Tian Zhen looked at the surrounding environment casually, looking a little absent-minded.
I had just walked for a while, and the front was congested again.
"That's the way the street is, but it's not very long, and you can get through it quickly, so you don't have to rush. β
Tian Zhen looked at the honest driver, and suddenly asked: "Big brother, you guys are really hard to run a taxi, there should be a wife and children at home, right?"
"My wife is from the countryside, and her child is eight years old and is in the first grade. The middle-aged driver looked very happy when he mentioned his wife and children, and a smile appeared on his originally stiff face.
"In that case, won't your conscience hurt for such a thing?" Tian Zhen still said lightly.
"What are you talking about, young man?" the driver was startled, his eyes a little flustered.
"You can also see, I am only a college student, but you did not hesitate to push me into the fire pit and sell me, have you ever thought about what you would think if your child was treated like this?"
Tian Zhen sighed: "As a taxi driver, I rely on my own skills and strength to make money, although this kind of money is hard, but it is very clean." Why get involved in something you can't afford to do, have you ever thought about your family and your children? What will happen to them if you die?"
"You...... What do you say, I don't understand. β
The driver said in a panic.
"You looked nervous just now, you should have turned back, but you deliberately missed it, and lied to me that you were going to the highway here, but you would never have imagined that although it was my first time to come to Longxing Town, the map of the entire Longxing Town was in my mind, and there was no way to get on the highway here, and some were just Chu Zhen's subordinates, am I right?"
The driver's face instantly turned as white as paper.
"And you secretly sent a message on your mobile phone just now, although I didn't read what it was, but it must be a ventilation message, right?" Tian Zhen looked at the surrounding vehicles, and a disdainful smile appeared in his eyes: "Chu Zhen's people came really fast." β
The driver trembled like chaff: "Young man, I'm sorry, we received an order from above, anyone who runs this line must report to the above and wait for instructions, if you don't follow the instructions, you will be banned, I have no choice, I still have a wife and children to raise at home, I don't want to, you run quickly!"
Tian Zhen didn't panic, and said lightly: "Since I'm here, I don't plan to leave, I believe that they are all reasonable people, and they won't embarrass me as a good student." β
"Young man, you are too naΓ―ve, they are not reasonable at all, you better go quickly, I don't want the fare, just ask for peace of mind!"
The driver also seemed to regret it, with a guilty face.
Tian Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't feel guilty, I forgive you." β
He opened the car door, but smiled at the driver: "And I thank you for bringing me here, if I look for it myself, I don't know how long it will take." β
The driver looked at Tian Zhen, who was smiling as brightly as a flower, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
This young man is already in a desperate situation, why is he still so indifferent?
There were inexplicably more taxis around, filling the entire road.
Some young people gathered from the streets on both sides, looking like tourists, but they were actually Chu Zhen's subordinates.
It can be said that the entire Longxing Town is secretly controlled by Chu Zhen, and people from all walks of life can become his eyeliner and subordinates.
He can call the wind and rain here, and be a prestige and blessing, which is naturally inseparable from the protection of some local people.
Once anything has formed a solid chain of interests, it will look very scary.
Tian Zhen slowly walked to the antique street on one side, where there are many tourists, of course, Chu Zhen also has a lot of people.
"Boy, don't move if you know each other, come with us. β
More than a dozen young people surrounded Tian Zhen, their eyes cold and disdainful, full of hostility.
It seems that Tian Zhen dares to say half a word, and they will put Tian Zhen down and pack it away.
Tian Zhen's purpose was originally to throw himself into the net, how could he resist?
So, he smiled obediently and raised his hand, as happy as if he was going back to his grandmother's house: "Don't be nervous, I'll just go with you." β
The young people were a little surprised, they were so happy to see someone arrested for the first time, didn't he know what was going on with him?
Since it is easy to say that the two young men wanted to come up and grab Tian Zhen's shoulders, but he was skillfully dodged and dodged.
"Big brothers, I can't run again, why bother doing this. β
"If you kid dare to play tricks, you'll die, and my brothers are worried that they can't find an entertainment program. β
The leading young man sneered, extremely disdainful of Tian Zhen.
How threatening can such a weak little white face be?
Any bastard here can easily put him down, I really don't know what is nervous above, it's too grassy and woody!
The crowd walked all the way through the antique street.
A mountain villa in front is built against the mountain, and several big characters of Peacock Villa are hung on the cliff, which can be seen from a long distance, which looks mighty and domineering.
Tian Zhen secretly admired, this guy really has the momentum of an ancient martial arts sect villa!
At the gate of the villa, two security guards stood up straight, as meticulous as sentry posts in the military department.
Their strength is not bad, they have obviously been trained, and they are probably equivalent to the level of special forces.
A gate security guard is at the level of special forces, it is conceivable that the interior of the villa is definitely not simple, not to mention the Longtan Tiger's Den, it must also be a master, no wonder Chu Yan is so nervous.
