In the middle of the night, there was silence outside the window, waiting for the flickering flashlight to sway back and forth, as if there were countless ghosts dressed in black below, patrolling the gates of hell.

At this time, someone did not feel this uneasiness, closed the door tightly, and took out something wrapped in a half-sleeve from under the bed, and opened it with some trembling, stunned that it was Zhang Xudong's passing needle kissing knife, which was what he thought was a knife before.

The current owner is still Zhou Tao, he is very aware of the danger brought to him by this weapon, and constantly thinks about finding the safest place to hide, whether it is exposed in front of Zhang Xudong or Hou Zhiliang, it is definitely not what Zhou Tao is willing to do.

The night was dark and terrible, and there was not a single moonlight or starlight in the dark sky. The wind, whizzing and swaying the branches, seemed to be a devil writhing with teeth and claws.

Zhou Tao can think that with Hou Zhiliang's character, once he discovers the existence of the needle kissing knife, then he will unscrupulously take this treasure for himself, and in order to keep it secret, he will inevitably kill people, if the situation is completely beyond Zhou Tao's expectations, he will definitely not choose to take refuge in Hou Zhiliang, the villain, but the situation forced him to do it as a last resort.

Just a few hours ago, Zhou Tao experienced a false alarm, he knew that this matter must not be hidden from Hou Zhiliang for a long time, and he believed that there would be a flaw in less than ten days and half a month, but he had already calculated in his heart, as long as he waited for the wind outside to relax, he would immediately go to Russia and sell this needle knife to a Russian buyer, and even if Hou Zhiliang had great ability, he would not be able to help himself.

Holding the handle of the knife a few times, Zhou Tao could feel his sharpness and said, "I heard that you call it needle kiss, right?" But for such a knife as you, Lao Tzu's life is about to be lost, and it is really a bad thing. ”

If these words are heard by outsiders, they must feel ridiculous, there is no difference between good and bad knives, good and evil, mainly depends on the person who uses the knife, Zhou Tao is completely his greed, forcing himself step by step into a place of no return. Although he complained in his mouth, the heat in Zhou Tao's eyes was unabated, which showed his fanaticism and love for this knife, because a dead thing killed two living people, and now black and white are looking for him, fortunately, the knife is in his hand, there is hope.

Looking around, Zhou Tao began to look for the next place to hide, even in Hou Zhiliang's place, he was not very relieved, almost every day he would change a place to hide, he expected that everyone would not think that the knife was here, and when the time came, he could take the knife away as long as he found an excuse to come back.

So this time, he planned to find a place that could be hidden for a long time, and he would not hide if he often moved the place, so now he will find a place that can be hidden for a long time, and finally he set his target under the floor tiles, stuffed it into the gap with a needle knife, and then cut along the gap little by little, the sharpness of the needle knife is completely more than enough for this.

Soon dismantled a piece of the floor, just when he was about to put the knife in, suddenly the door was kicked open, Zhou Tao secretly exclaimed, and hurriedly stuffed the needle knife into his arms, but at this time it was too late, Hou Zhiliang had already appeared at the door, and saw his movements clearly, and then came a few steps, and easily snatched the needle knife from his arms.

The development of things was so unexpected that Zhou Tao didn't have time to react too much, he froze in place, and immediately showed an embarrassed smile, and then said with a wry smile: "Boss Hou, what are you doing here?" ”

Hou Zhiliang was able to make the white crane who was once in charge of the three eastern provinces out of control, which shows how clever his methods and strategies are, he got to this point, not only relying on his skills and financial resources, but also his brain is also well-known for being a good messenger, during the day in the interrogation with Zhou Tao, Hou Zhiliang already felt that he was not honest at this moment, in order to know what things were, he simply pretended to believe Zhou Tao.

When they were having dinner together, Hou Zhiliang asked his subordinates to install a pinhole camera in Zhou Tao's room, and asked people to monitor his every move all the time, and waited until Zhou Tao showed his feet, as for what does it have to do with Zhang Xudong's woman, Hou Zhiliang will not believe it, with Zhang Xudong's appearance and strength, why do other women's women like Zhou Tao, a guy who is not good-looking, isn't that a big joke in the world?

Hou Zhiliang smiled coldly and said, "What do I have to ask you for, what's wrong with the floor of my house?" Why did you tear it down? ”

"Heh, hehe...... In fact, I saw that this floor was a little loose, if you want to reinstall it, you see that the cement I came to hook the joints have been bought, after all, I can't live in Boss Hou's house in vain, this kind of trivial thing as an inverted bucket I am still very good! Zhou Tao pointed to a small bag of cement powder next to him, thinking that this was the most explainable word now, but he was very bottomless in his heart, and he didn't know if Hou Zhiliang would believe him again.

Although Zhou Tao secretly drummed in his heart, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide, but when people encounter problems, they always have a trace of luck, such as being caught by his wife and acting intimately with other women, and he will make excuses in every possible way, just hoping to get by. And the needle kiss knife was received by him at all costs, how could he be willing to give it to Hou Zhiliang for nothing.

Hou Zhiliang glanced at the needle knife in his hand and said, "Zhou Tao, do you still play Lao Tzu as a fool?" Do you think I'll believe you're so kind? Although Hou Zhiliang is not an antique expert, and he is not very interested in this kind of thing, but after all, he is a mixed in the road, and his research on knives is not inferior to Hou Zhiliang.

Such a good knife is very difficult to create with the current manufacturing process, just by this feeling, Hou Zhiliang can feel that this is a rare short weapon, and judging from Zhou Tao's slightly panicked and pale explanation, it is estimated that this knife has something to do with Zhang Xudong.

Zhou Tao scratched his head and smiled: "Hou, Boss Hou." How dare my little brother play tricks in front of you, what I said is true. Besides, you have protected me thoroughly, and I now regard Boss Hou as a reborn parent, and it's too late to thank you! ”

"Huh, huh? Then tell me, what is the origin of this short knife? I don't think it's going to be an ordinary short blade. Don't lie to me, I can feel it. Hou Zhiliang sneered.

"Boss Hou's eyesight makes the little brother admire, admire!" Zhou Tao's eyes rolled and he immediately found a reason for prevarication, and said: "The younger brother doesn't hide it from the boss, this is what my ancestors have flowed from, that is, my father and uncle are not willing to sell it, I have always regarded it as an ......heirloom."

"Shut up. I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, come on. Hou Zhiliang interrupted Zhou Tao's words, and immediately two of his subordinates rushed over, grabbed the latter with his backhand, and pressed him to the ground.

Zhou Tao was horrified in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, otherwise with Hou Zhiliang's character, he would definitely be tortured today, where do you dare to play tricks now, he is smart and knows that it is a great creation to save his life.

Without saying a word, he first kowtowed to Hou Zhiliang, and then said in a pleading tone: "Boss Hou, I said it all, please spare the rotten life of my little brother, let me do anything." ”

"Hmph, tell me, what is this. Did you get it back from Xiangyang City? That Zhang Xudong chased you all the way to H City for it? Hou Zhiliang asked with a cold snort.

"This short knife is one of the ancient 'five-kissing knives', the needle kissing knife, which I took from Dong Zhong's house in Xiangyang City, and I don't know whose knife it is......" Zhou Tao asked with a depressed face. If he was asked to choose again, he would still do it, but he immediately absconded abroad with a needle knife, not caring about the industry here, so that he would not fall to this point.

Even now, Zhou Tao still didn't think about not moving Dong Zhong, so there would be no trouble today, although he is not absolutely rich, but he is worth tens of millions, and he should be able to live quickly in this life.

Hou Zhiliang's eyes burst out with a touch of greed, although he doesn't understand antiques, but since this thing is one of the five kissing knives in ancient times, its value is unusual, but what he likes is not how much the knife is straight, but the value of the needle kiss knife itself, this is a masterpiece, if you give some big people, it will be of great significance, in fact, he didn't expect the price of this knife to be about 100 million, and he has been worried about giving something to that big man, and now this needle kissing knife is the best gift.

These days, the reason why Hou Zhiliang dared to launch such a strong attack on Dai Min was entirely because of the big man who was covered, and the power of this big man was extraordinary, and Hou Zhiliang also understood that the other party was just using himself to develop in Huaxia. However, Hou Zhiliang is also very cunning, he knows that if he wants to fight against the invasion of the other party, after all, he will control the three eastern provinces in his own hands first, as long as Dai Min is dealt with, then he will control sixty percent of the underworld forces in the three eastern provinces, and it is only a matter of time before they are unified.

But Hou Zhiliang was also smart but was mistaken by cleverness, but he didn't think that once the other party's forces entered, even if he could really unify the three eastern provinces, the other party's forces would also develop, and if he wanted to drive the other party out of Huaxia Kingdom, he was afraid that it would be difficult not to ascend to the sky.

Nodding slightly, Hou Zhiliang asked with satisfaction: "It seems that it really has a big background, I don't know what is strange about this needle kissing knife?" ”

"Sharpening iron is like clay, extremely sharp, and it can also release countless steel needles, although it is only a one-time time, but it can cause large-scale damage." Hou Zhiliang offended from Dong Zhong's mouth, and the latter had repaired the needle kiss knife to its previous effect, and replied honestly at this moment.

At this time, he no longer wanted to keep the needle kiss knife, how to be chic abroad, and now he only wanted to be able to save a small life, with Hou Zhiliang's insidious cunning and ruthlessness, Zhou Tao was worried that he would be wiped out.

Zhou Tao is indeed a little clever, otherwise it would not make Zhang Xudong feel tricky, he does know Hou Zhiliang's character, and his guess is not bad, Hou Zhiliang has no intention of letting him go, just ask a dying person some questions that need to be known at the moment.

Although Hou Zhiliang is not afraid of Zhang Xudong, he is not very worried about what Hongmen will do to him because of a knife, but it is always a trouble to keep Zhou Tao, and then leave an excuse for Zhang Xudong and Chen Guangyao, for no reason He doesn't want to offend people, and he is not a weak person, only to kill Zhou Tao and let his body evaporate in the world, who can doubt his own head at that time?

Thinking like this, the corners of Hou Zhiliang's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sinister and smug smile, all this was in Zhou Tao's eyes, and he secretly screamed in his heart, this old bastard was murderous. As soon as he gritted his teeth, it was a death anyway, Zhou Tao threw himself directly towards Hou Zhiliang, rather than waiting for death, it was better to fight, maybe he could still restrain Hou Zhiliang and give him a chance to escape, although he knew that the hope was very slim, but it was not good.
