Zhou Ming stood outside a small villa on the outskirts of France, it was pitch black outside, there were no street lights, and the house was also dim.

There is not even electricity in this villa, and the signal is very weak.

When Zhou Ming arrived before, he was even worried that he wouldn't be able to receive Ah Huang's call.

There is no electricity in this small villa, and the water is also fetched from the creek next to it, which is even more humble than the countryside, and it is precisely because of this that this almost deserted small villa is rarely visited.

Even if the other party wanted to find old Pete again, it was hard to imagine that he would be hiding here now.

The night breeze blew, and a somewhat chilly autumn wind hit Zhou Ming's face, he frowned, and asked Ah Huang on the other end of the phone, "What was the result?"

After thinking for a moment, Ah Huang replied: "Boss, there are about 20 companies under Pink Skull, and they are currently operating in good condition and have not been subject to any fluctuations, and judging from the performance statement and numbers alone, there is no problem with any of the companies under Pink Skull, boss, are you mistaken?"

After Ah Huang finished speaking, he asked Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming was also quite shocked when he heard this result.

It can be seen that there is obviously no turmoil inside Pink Skull, and this stable phenomenon has been continuing, which also shows that if someone deliberately wants to stir up Pink Skull, they will inevitably start with the details first, but now it seems that the enterprises under Pink Skull are operating very normally, which makes Zhou Ming feel very surprised.

"Okay, I see. ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, Ah Huang hung up the phone, he looked up at the stars in the sky, because it was in the suburbs, there was almost no lighting on the ground, and the stars in the sky were extremely brilliant at this time, in Zhou Ming's memory, he had not seen such a bright starry sky for a long time.

He raised his head, looking a little fascinated for a while, and at this time, Li Lingyu stood behind him and suddenly asked, "What did you ask Ah Huang to check?"

Zhou Ming said: "I asked him to check the operation of all the companies under Pink Skull in various fields of the European market, but at present, all of them are in very good business condition and have continued development. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" asked Li Lingyu with a frown at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming smiled and replied, "I mean, the other party may not be here for the Pink Skull Group. ”

As soon as Zhou Ming's words came out, Li Lingyu's face showed doubts.

She frowned and said, "Could it be that you're here for old Pete?"

Zhou Ming then nodded, and then said, "At least in my opinion, it should be like this." If the other party wants to attack the Pink Skull, it can completely penetrate from the details and slowly elevate him as the leader, but now it seems that the other party simply wants to kill him. As for what exactly the other party's purpose is, no one knows. ”

When Zhou Ming returned to the house this time, old Pete took a nap and had already woken up.

Slowly sobering up, he yawned and handed Zhou Ming something with a haggard face.

Looking at the things handed over by Old Pete, Zhou Ming was puzzled for a while.

"What is this?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown.

Old Pete said: "The stand-in was killed before, what kind of scene is this, some of the evidence found, when we were dealing with the scene, we didn't hand it over to the police, I don't know what these things mean? Maybe you can understand." ”

After that, Old Pete handed the small bag in his hand to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming opened the bag and poured out all the three or four things inside.

Among them, the one that shocked him was the white cherry blossom that was poured out of his pocket.

Other than that, they are all items from the deceased and have no value.

Zhou Ming looked at it and felt that among the four items, there was only this white cherry blossom, which could leave some clues.

Instead, Zhou Ming said to old Pete: "Let me ask you, are there any more expensive antiques in your home? Or, do you know where there are more expensive items?"

Regarding Zhou Ming's question, Old Pete can be described as confused.

He didn't know why Zhou Ming suddenly asked about this.

After thinking for a while, Old Pete finally shook his head, frowned and said to Zhou Ming: "If I have something more valuable, why should the other party come to the office to do it?"

Old Pete's question really made Zhou Ming speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

Afterwards, Old Pete still shook his head and said to Zhou Ming: "There are no precious items, the only thing that is more valuable may be the ancient vein spirit root that you dug out from the flower pot just now." ”

At the mention of the ancient vein spirit root, Zhou Ming's heart was full of doubts, and he asked Old Pete, "Where did you get this root?"

Obviously, even old Pete could predict that Zhou Ming would ask himself this question.

He smiled lightly, and then said to Zhou Ming: "This thing was given to me by an old friend of mine, and it is said that he has a lot of roots like this, so let me water and irrigate the soil every day." I listened to what the old thing said, and watered and fertilized it every day, but more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and this ancient vein spirit root still has no intention of germinating. ”

Old Pete said, shaking his head regretfully.

Obviously, he also really wanted to know what this ancient vein spirit root was, and after watering it for a year, he didn't see any momentum for it to grow and sprout.

According to the general plant, the branches should be pulled in spring, and they should be able to bear fruit in autumn at the earliest, but Old Pete's ancient vein spirit root did not move.

Hearing what Old Pete said, Zhou Ming smiled unabashedly, because Old Man Qin had also taught himself such a method before, and his situation was almost exactly the same as that of Old Pete, and he had also cultivated for a long time, and after applying fertilizer for many days, he still didn't see that the ancient vein spirit root had too good growth.

Therefore, old Pete thought to himself, why not plant a pot of flowers in that flower bed.

When he planted the flower seeds, old Pete was stupid, and overnight, the sapling sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and suddenly jumped more than ten centimeters!

It is precisely because of this discovery that Old Pete has an extremely curious mood about this ancient vein spiritual root.

"Then how do you know that when you are seriously ill, this ancient vein spirit root can save your life?"

Zhou Ming thought that Old Pete had given him a hint before, so he asked.

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Old Pete hesitated for a moment and didn't answer this question for a long time.
