Chapter 737: The First Handful of People's Hearts Are Panicking
At the Red Gate Headquarters in North America, the elders were sitting there with uneasy expressions on their faces, fidgeting and looking around, although no one was talking to each other, the hall was quiet, but there was a chaotic atmosphere everywhere.
Among the elders who did it again, nine out of ten participated in the Australian pursuit operation presided over by Elder Qin, although later due to various reasons, these elders did not follow to the Yiqing Winery, thus escaping the catastrophe.
But the impact of the bloody case that happened in the winery on their psychology was shocking, and everyone had feelings such as the death of a rabbit and a fox in their hearts.
But in the face of such a strong and ferocious opponent, the elders knew that they were invincible, so they had to quickly slip back from the Australian mainland, lest they be affected and affected.
It is said that his ancestor was a member of the Nanming royal family and was the object of the Hongmen's founder's allegiance, so this branch had a relatively transcendent status in the Hongmen, and it was usually only a matter of the world.
The last time he hunted down Lin Fan, he was also one of the very few elders who did not participate, so the elders cheekily invited him out to help preside over the overall situation.
Elder Zhu has gray hair, a thin body, and doesn't look like he raises his eyes, just like an ordinary little old man, and he doesn't have any royal nobility on his body, let alone a domineering master who looks around.
He sat in the top position, a little uncomfortable, no matter how he sat it felt awkward, this position is now a hot potato, no one wants to accept it, so he pushed out the best temper.
After a long time, no one in the hall spoke, Elder Zhu coughed dryly twice, and took the initiative to break the silence in front of him: "Ahem, let's talk about it, what's going on?" Was the death of Elder Qin and the rest of his disciples the work of that young man named Lin Fan? ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while, someone hesitated and said: "Well, everyone is not at the scene, but according to the Australian police, the winery's surveillance video shows that the murderer is Lin Fan." ”
As soon as this person finished speaking, an elder on the other side sneered: "It's really ridiculous, when do we have to see the evidence of the police when we do things in Hongmen?" ”
"Besides, I also watched the evidence of the so-called Australian police, and the video in it is only a few tens of seconds, and there is no scene of Lin Fan killing people at all."
When the person who spoke just now heard this, he immediately became a little annoyed and said angrily: "My words are funny, well, you can tell me, Elder Qin, who killed them?" ”
The elder on the other side glanced at the other party and said with some disdain: "I think Elder Zhu's question itself is problematic, no matter who killed Elder Qin, it has something to do with Lin Fan." ”
"But, to put it mildly, for now, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, the most important thing is, will the murderer be angry with the entire Hongmen, is it possible, everyone here still wants to avenge Elder Qin?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was silent for a while, and the elder said everything they thought in their hearts, although everyone felt that they couldn't hold their faces, but at this time, the ones who didn't have face were second.
Seeing that he was going to be cold again, Elder Zhu hurriedly asked, "Since this is the case, then let's discuss the next question, if this kind of thing happens, how should we Hongmen deal with it?" ”
As soon as this question was asked, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke, obviously not willing to touch this mold.
Elder Zhu saw that no one answered, so he said to himself: "Since you can't avenge Elder Qin, then just make peace, you can't just be so worried every day, speaking of Kunlun Yimai and my Hongmen Although there are some grievances, there is also a bit of affection." ”
At this time, Elder Ye, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly and said, "Peace, who will make peace?" I chased and killed Lin Fan for so long before, and now I can't beat others, so I want to make peace, there is such a good thing in the world, whether it is fight or peace, it is up to us to decide, hum, say something that offends you, we Hongmen, we don't have such a big face. ”
"Elder Ye's words are wrong, this is not a grudge between our Hongmen and Lin Fan, this is at best a personal grudge between Elder Qin and Lin Fan, how can he carry the entire Hongmen?"
As soon as you say a word, everyone has put the responsibility for the matter on Elder Qin, who has already died, and they all said that they were bewitched by Elder Qin at the beginning, so they didn't do much at all, and they didn't have any grievances with Lin Fan.
While arguing endlessly, a disciple suddenly broke in from outside, ran into the hall, and said breathlessly, "Elders, Mei, Elder Mei, you're back. ”
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of all the elders changed drastically, and the elder closest to that disciple stood up suddenly, stepped out, grabbed the disciple's arm, and asked in a panic, "What did you say?" Elder Mei is back, is she coming back alone, or, is it still ......, with her, with someone else. ”
The eyes of these elders were all focused on the disciple who reported the news, and everyone was anxiously waiting for an answer, with worries, fears, and panic in their eyes, but there was no joy.
They all know what happened to Elder Mei, and they all know who rescued Elder Mei, and now that she has returned, whether the enemy family will also come with her, this is a fatal question.
"That's it, Elder Mei alone, I, I didn't look, I didn't see anyone else......" The disciple said in a slurred voice, the eyes of the elders obviously startled him.
"Appeal ......"
Long gasps came and went in the hall, and the news that Elder Mei had returned alone made them put their hearts back in their stomachs, otherwise, some people were even wondering if they should hurry up and escape just now.
"What are you doing in a daze, quickly invite Elder Mei in......," someone pointed at the disciple in an eager tone and scolded.
"No, I think let's go out together and welcome Elder Mei in, alas, Elder Qin's matter has wronged her......" Someone else put on a sad look and said with regret.
This sentence was immediately responded to by everyone, and at this moment, joyful expressions appeared on their faces, and they almost cheered one by one: "Yes, yes, let's go out together and invite Elder Mei in." ”
For them, Elder Mei's return is equivalent to one more talisman, no matter how cruel Lin Fan is, it is estimated that he will have to give Elder Mei some face, and he can't be too embarrassed for Hongmen.
Everyone stood up one after another, and just as they were about to walk outside, a cold and indifferent voice came from outside the door: "Don't bother you, I've already come in." ”
Before the words fell, Elder Mei was dressed in white and walked in slowly from the outside, her figure was slightly thinner than before, and a lingering melancholy color lingered between her brows.
