Chapter 49: Parting Ways
The transaction of the Tianjin Hotel is not over, and a girl in white can be seen running all the way on the bustling street, but the Wang family's mansion, far away from the downtown area, is quiet, a little more demure and elegant than the previous rivers and lakes.

Yurong Zhou was standing by a pond, holding a small white jade bowl in his hand, sprinkling fish food into the pond, and red or white koi fish were tossing together, tossing a lot of waves on the water.
No one disturbed the place where he lived, and no one from the Wang family dared to come in.
"Wuxiang, hasn't Wang Tianhai come back yet?" The sun was getting higher, but there was no movement outside.
"My subordinates are going to investigate. Wuxiang immediately turned around and left the courtyard, he followed the young master to Tianjin, but he really didn't know much about the situation here.
For a while, Yurong Zhou frowned, but his face, which was originally a little delicate, suddenly flashed a little murderous, and his face became a little hideous.
He always felt that something bad was happening.
Suddenly, a loud muffled sound came from the east, like summer thunder, followed by several smaller muffled noises one after another.
Yurong Zhou frowned and looked to the east, the sky was clear, there were no clouds, naturally it couldn't be thunder, that is, did something blow up?
At this moment, Wuxiang entered the courtyard with a serious face, his steps were extremely fast, and the knife in his hand was also very tight.
Yurong Zhou felt that his neck was choked, he had some difficulty breathing, and after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly asked, "Is there something wrong with the arms?" His tone was not hurried, not flustered, and he adhered to the aristocratic style of the Yu family.
Wuxiang knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, Wang Tianhai did not personally trade arms, but sent the housekeeper around him. By this time the butler had returned. ”
Yu Rong Zhou's voice trembled a little.
"Came back, came back empty-handed?"
"Exactly!" Wuxiang was almost on the ground, the young master's hands were shaking, and he must have been extremely angry, "The housekeeper said that the Germans had no intention of trading, so they ......"
The courtyard was quiet for a while, save for a few short birdsongs.
Wuxiang lowered his head, he couldn't hear anything, except for the young master's white, dusty leather shoes, he couldn't see anything.
"Why are you still kneeling?" the speaker's tone was no longer as calm as usual, "Come with me and go to the Tianjin Hotel!"
"Yes, young master. Wuxiang immediately got up, made a gesture, and soon the people scattered all over the courtyard were assembled.
Thick smoke billowed from outside the port of Tianjin, and the red fire that had just exploded from the sea almost stained the sea and the sky red.
It was a fishing boat that exploded, and everyone at sea knew it, but they didn't understand how a fishing boat could explode so badly, it was just a thunder on the ground!
Due to the remoteness of the fishing boat, there were no casualties except for the debris that flew into the nearby sea and broke the side of a few boats.
The coast guard of Tianjin Port soon arrived, and after patrolling around and seeing that there were no other hidden dangers, they left.
The Tianjin Hotel was not far from the port of Tianjin, and the loud explosion naturally startled everyone in the hotel, including Coense and his assistants.
The movement of the two foreigners walking out froze instantly, their faces instantly became extremely bad, and after a glance at each other, Coens turned around and looked at the oriental man who had already gotten up and stood in front of the windowsill to enjoy the scenery.
"Is there anything else going on with Lord Korns?" the man looked back, with a graceful smile on his face, and just looked at Kornes, not in a hurry or impatient, as if the loud explosion did not exist for him.
Cohens knew very well that the explosion coming from the east was most likely the explosion of his own ship, and other earth bombs or something would definitely not have such an effect.
He was a smart man, and at this time he naturally understood what was going on - the person whose interests were most damaged was not anxious at all, which proved that the explosion had nothing to do with the buyer in front of him.
"Mr. Yu......" The question in his words was very strong.
The oriental man only laughed lightly twice before saying, "I blew it up." But that's mine, so why should Mr. Coens be so concerned?"
Yu Kerns, he only then realized that he seemed to have been fooled, he had just told him where the arms were, and he could blow up a ship of arms, which can only show that he already knew where the ship was, that is, today's transaction was a trap arranged by this man a long time ago?
The assistant's pistol had already been pulled out, pointing at the man, his eyes were full of murderous energy, he was a man who came out of the battlefield, and it was not difficult to kill people.
"Oh, Mr. Kornes, why are you so embarrassed about yourself? I just blew up my stuff and you got your money, why can't you just leave it at that?" he clapped his palms as he spoke, and suddenly two men jumped in from the window, both with guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at Kornes and his assistant. The cold murderous aura in the eyes of those two people was not at all compared to the assistant.
"In Beiping, I say what I say. The man put down the cup in his hand before saying, "There is an idiom in China called 'tacit understanding', and I hope to reach such a tacit understanding with Mr. Korns." He smiled slightly, his peach blossom eyes flashing, and a sense of self-confidence and strength made Kernes almost fall to the ground.
He gritted his teeth, pressed the gun in his assistant's hand, and whispered, "Let's go." ”
As he turned around, he saw someone outside opening the door carved in mahogany, as if he had been waiting for them to leave for a long time.
When the people were gone, the two men with guns put down their guns, one retreated to the door and stood guard, and the other stood on the side.
"Curious? Curious why I blew up that ship?"
"Yes. The man standing thought for a moment before he continued, "Master, although the amount of that batch of arms is not large, it is better because of its lethality and excellent quality. The assembly is even more powerful for the elite troops. Besides, it's worth a lot of money, so I don't know why you want to blow it up?"
Zong Wei put a few pieces of paper on the table in a box and said, "For the current situation, that batch of arms in the North China Military Region is a scourge, too attractive. There may be a rift in the center. In this way, it is better to bomb it if it is kept in private hands, and it is not good for North China to be placed in the hands of any military region, and it is not good for the country. There was a bit of disappointment in his eyes, "So, let's blow it up." ”
The soldier stopped talking, he didn't understand, but he wouldn't ask any more, because as long as it was something that the sect master thought was right, it would definitely not be wrong.
"Alright, let's leave too. ”
"Yes, Master. The soldier reached out to take the bag in Zong Wei's hand, but he avoided it.
Kornes had just left the Tianjin Hotel, and a white shadow was moving rapidly in this direction not far away. He was busy standing behind his assistant to avoid unnecessary trouble.
By the time he got into the car, the white shadow had stopped at the entrance of the Tianjin Hotel. He could only see a back, it was a Chinese girl in a white dress, the girl's long hair was scattered behind her, Kornes felt that this girl must be an unbelievable oriental beauty, just from that back, you can see a bit of elegance and beauty.
"Sir, are you leaving?"
"Let's go. When the car started, he looked back again, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
In the palatial hotel lobby, the sun shines on the marble floor through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows and light white gauze curtains, and the light of the crystal lamps is in full bloom.
In such glitz and dream, the two people standing up and down the stairs looked at each other from afar.
Lu Hexi stared at Zong Wei, who was also dressed in a white robe, for a moment, because of running, her long hair was spread out, rippling slightly in the wind.
She lifted her chin and looked at the man standing at the top of the stairs, standing high in the backlight, dressed in a white robe as if it could emit light. Behind him stood four men in black, and the stars held him in the middle.
Zong Wei was also looking at Lu Hexi under the stairs with his hands behind his back, blood was sprinkled on his long white dress, long black hair, white skirt, and bright red blood - obviously she was just a fourteen-year-old girl, but she made people feel cold and glamorous.
There was so indifference in her eyes, not even a hint of murderous emotion. The whole person is quietly like a puppet doll.
Lu Hexi walked up step by step, running for too long, her legs trembled a little, but she still gritted her teeth and stabilized her figure, one step at a time, until she walked in front of Zong Wei.
Standing face to face, staring into each other's eyes without shying away or fearing.
"Zong Wei, you should give me an explanation, right?" The cold voice was a little hoarse, and the warm breath was in the ears.
Zong Wei didn't speak, just smiled faintly.
Explanation?
He raised his feet and left, just wanting to bypass Lu Hexi, not wanting to look at her clean and indifferent eyes anymore.
