225 Intermission

The whole journey took thirteen minutes, and Gao Jin was the first to take the hostages through the forest safely.

A group of juniors of the Han family had already made a detour from other places to wait here, and Han Mei saw Gao Jin being the first to come out, and the smile on her face was very bright. On the other hand, Han Mu and the fifth man named Han Li were like eating dead flies, and their faces were also very bright.

"Gao Jin, well done, we've seen it all the way, you look pretty relaxed." Han Mei nodded approvingly, then turned her head to look at the third and fifth children, and said with a smile, "I am willing to lose the bet, I am waiting for you to transfer money." ”

"Eldest sister, where did you find this person, did you tell him the map of the forest in advance?" Han Li said with a crying voice.

"Hmph, that's not right. You and I only found out about the content of the exam fifteen minutes ago, how could we sue him in advance? Han Mei snapped her eyes and retorted.

"Old Five, you are too graceless. Eldest sister, I'll transfer money to you. Han Mu said and picked up the mobile phone and started to operate, and followed Han Li with a look.

Han Li was extremely depressed, but there was no way, so he also picked up his mobile phone and made a transfer.

After a while, Han Mei picked up her mobile phone and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Very good, you must remember to call me when you bet in the future." ”

"Haha, the weather is really good, Old Five, let's go over there." Han Mu said with a smile on his face, slapped Han Li's shoulder with one hand, and led him to the side.

Han Mei waited for the third and fifth children to walk away, then turned her head to look at Gao Jin, and said with a smile, "Gao Jin, it's very good, this time you helped me win 200 million, how about it, how about giving you half of it?" ”

"Really? Then I don't want to thank you. If you give it to me, then I won't refuse. Gao Jin shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.

Honestly, who doesn't love money? It's just that these second ancestors can make hundreds of millions of dollars with a casual bet, and they look like they are indifferent when they win or lose, which makes Gao Jin quite disgusted.

"Well, I'll arrange it when it's over." Han Mei nodded. She looked at Chloe, the maid standing beside her, and ordered, "There's nothing for you here, you go and wait over there, and I'll pay you later." ”

"Thank you, master." Chloe bowed obediently, and then stepped aside.

Gao Jin looked at Chloe, who was weak, and couldn't help but sigh, "For the sake of this test, you actually tortured people like this, it's hard for me to understand your thinking pattern." ”

"What's this, we didn't force them, everything was fair and voluntary." Han Mei explained, "We made conditions, and then they chose whether to accept it or not, and it is said that there were many people vying for these eight places at that time. ”

"People die for money, birds die for food, and it's true." Gao Jin sighed lightly.

"Hey, someone's coming out. Who will be in second place? Han Mei changed the subject.

Sure enough, two figures rushed out at the exit of the forest, and it was actually the man named Barton and his female hostage. The two of them were also unscathed, but the female hostage seemed to be very tired, and her face was pale and wheezing very much.

The medical staff waiting on the side immediately took the hostage away, and Barton walked to Han Mu's side. The two didn't know what to say, and Barton turned his head to look at Gao Jin, staring at Gao Jin for a full five seconds.

Gao Jin looked at Barton casually, with a faint smile on his face. He knew that if this was not the Han family, Barton would have rushed over to discuss with him. It's a pity that this is the Han family, so Barton can only resist the impulse, otherwise there will be punishment.

Since this time it was the selection of bodyguards, the Han family had explicitly forbidden infighting between candidates. The reason is very simple, these people are powerful characters who kill people without blinking, and if they lose both, they will delay the progress of the trip at that time.

After a few minutes, two more groups broke out of the forest. These two people seemed to be Han Li's subordinates, and as soon as they came out, they ran to his side.

At this time, the host also announced the results. The remaining four groups have been eliminated, and those who have qualified for tomorrow's competition are Gao Jin, Barton, Fei Wu, and Liu Bi.

Although it was just noon, there was no competition scheduled in the afternoon, which was said to give the candidates a relaxing break. Gao Jin naturally had no opinion on this, he followed Han Mei into the car waiting on the side and returned to his residence.

Lunch in the villa has already been prepared, speaking of which Han Mei is the owner here, and Gao Jin is just a guest. So he naturally couldn't refuse Han Mei's request to have lunch together.

So the two of them had lunch in the villa. Han Mei didn't say any more provocative words, just casually chatted about the topic of the game just now. However, after lunch, Gao Jin sent her away under the pretext of resting and adjusting to her best condition.

In fact, Gao Jin is indeed cultivating, and he feels that time is very precious now. Sitting cross-legged and running the exercises, I just had a little realization in my heart, and I didn't have the time to spend it in vain. It's really a day gone by as soon as the eyes are closed and opened.

Fortunately, even if the time of perception is very short, he can feel a slight increase in the openness of his brain domain. Although the amount of improvement is less than 1/10,000, after all, there is an improvement, and there is a direction for efforts.

When he came out of the room, Gao Jin saw Han Mei again. Although in Han Mei's opinion, the two had not seen each other for six or seven hours, but in Gao Jin's feelings, the two had only been separated for a few minutes. He couldn't help but be a little depressed about such frequent meetings.

"Han Mei, why are you here again?" Gao Jin said as he walked down the stairs to the living room.

Han Mei pointed to the restaurant on the side and said with a smile, "I asked them to prepare a candlelight dinner, do you want to drink some red wine?" ”

"Alcohol is free, just eat something, I don't need to eat too much." Gao Jin looked at the table full of sumptuous delicacies, and only shook his head slightly.

"It's already done anyway, and it's a waste not to eat it." Han Mei waved her hand and beckoned Gao Jin to eat in the restaurant.

While eating, Han Mei said, "Gao Jin, the family held a meeting in the afternoon. The third and fifth children said something at the meeting, and they seem to have sent someone to investigate you, but they couldn't find your information. Lao Wu suspects that you are a spy sent by another family, and says that he will disqualify you. ”

"Yes, there is such a thing, is my identity really so mysterious?" Gao Jin had a relaxed expression of indifference. Naturally, he knew that if he was really a spy, he wouldn't be enjoying a candlelit dinner here at this time.

"There's some mystery, but it doesn't matter. When I was in Lingjiang, I had already found most of your information, and I had already handed it over to the family elders. They don't think you have any contact with other clans and believe that you're not a spy, so they agree to let you participate in this tryout. Han Mei raised her red wine glass, shook it lightly at Gao Jin, and took a sip of herself.

"I've known this for a long time, and if I were a spy, I wouldn't have been able to get here, and I don't know how many times I've been killed by you." Gao Jin said indifferently.

"People like you for being so cool, no, I'm a little drunk." Han Meijiao said angrily.

"Speak well." Gao Jin rubbed his temples, he really couldn't stand it. Hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, what happened to the other families this time?" With such an amazing strength of your Han family, there is no need to unite with other families at all, right? ”

Han Mei shook the red wine in the glass and said slowly, "I can't tell you too much about the affairs of each family for the time being. As for why they joined forces, it was actually very simple, their strength was almost the same as that of the Han family. No one will let others eat alone, otherwise there will be a mess. ”

Gao Jin was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there really a legendary elixir?" Is it true that human life can be extended? ”

In fact, Gao Jin knew that the answer to both of these questions was yes, and if he wanted to, he could exchange it for a panacea to prolong his life now. But he didn't know if there was really a similar elixir in the underground temple, or if it was just wishful thinking on the part of Han Mei and them.

"Maybe there is, maybe not, I'm not 100% sure anyway. However, since the five major families attach great importance to this operation, there must be no wind and no waves. You know, the five families are all interested in adventure. Han Mei said meaningfully.

"I know. If you don't take three points of risk, you will find the wealth of the world. The reason why you big families are big families is that the adventurous spirit must be very strong. Gao Jin stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I've eaten the food." I'm going back to rest, come back tomorrow and let me know. ”

"You've only eaten one apple, why are you so full?" Han Mei was surprised.

"As I said, I don't need to eat much. See you tomorrow. Gao Jin waved his hand, went up to the second floor and returned to his room.

Back in the room, Gao Jin began to practice again, still sitting directly on the floor and meditating cross-legged. He has been in this position for the past two days, and he is not worried about others peeking into his room.

Although he had known for a long time that in this room, there must have been some surveillance heads installed. But meditating on his knees in such an ordinary posture can only make people think that he is strange at best, and it does not make people realize that he is actually practicing spiritual exercises.

The time of the intermission was in Gao Jin's cultivation, and it passed quickly. He only slowly immersed his mind in that pitch-black and vast space for less than five minutes, and then quickly regained his clarity.

Sure enough, it was already dark outside. And Han Mei's voice also sounded outside the door, "Gao Jin, start today's game in an hour." It's time for you to wake up, I'll be waiting for you downstairs. ”

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come down." Gao Jin said yes and stood up from the floor.

There are many clothes, shoes and socks in the wardrobe in the room, all of which are suitable for sports clothing and sneakers. is completely in line with Gao Jin's figure and shoe size, but he is quite well prepared, and he will naturally not be polite.
