Chapter 318: Xichuan Guild Hall
"Why don't you go and work with me, what do you see? What's there to see? ”
"Oh, yes, yes."
The two young gardeners with scissors continued to do their work, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange, shouldn't there be just a few people in this hall?
How is it that as soon as I pass through the front counter, I can't see anyone in the back except for the two people who are there to trim the flowers and plants?
Is it because the business of this hall is not good on weekdays?
"Sir, I don't know, where are you from?" The old man led the way in front of him, and asked Zhou Chendao occasionally.
"Oh, from home." Zhou Chen replied lightly.
"Oh, from China, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people coming from my hometown, I don't know where the fairy town is?"
"Haha, old shopkeeper, you are a Xichuan people's hall, where do you say I am from?" Zhou Chen looked at the old man with interest and said.
As soon as Zhou Chen entered the door, he saw that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person, although his legs and feet were not so convenient, but the old man's eyes looked at people as if he could see through people's hearts, which made you have to raise your vigilance.
"Sir, since it's a fellow countryman, then it's good to live here, it's not peaceful outside recently, and a lot of our Chinese people are missing, so if you don't have anything to do, don't go out alone at night, a few days ago, a pair of sisters were buying things in a store opposite us, and they were suddenly forcibly taken away by a group of people, and they never saw her come back." The old man said to Zhou Chen, and after speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhou Chen's heart suddenly set off waves in the sky, could it be that the sisters who were kidnapped were Tang Yan and Tang Lan? After Zhou Chen closed the door, he carefully observed the layout of the whole room, and saw that there was a big red gum in the middle of the room, on the left was a TV and a water dispenser, a computer, etc., on the right was a wardrobe, and near the head of the bed, there was a low table, on which there was a menu for ordering and a red telephone.
"Knock Knock ......"
Just when Zhou Chen was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower and sleep, the door that had just been closed was knocked on.
"Who?"
"Sir, I'm here to bring you tea."
"Click!"
Zhou Chen took two steps in one step, quickly came to the door, opened the door, and saw a young man holding a wooden plate in his hand, on which there was a teapot that was still steaming, and the fragrance of tea was wafting out of it.
"Thank you." Zhou Chen took out a piece of rice from his pocket, gave it to the young man who brought the tea, and then took the wooden plate.
"Don't disturb Mr. to rest." The young man said to Zhou Chen very politely, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
Zhou Chen put the wooden plate on the table, looked at the steaming tea, but he didn't dare to drink it, he felt that this Xichuan Hall was not simple, if they played some trick with him, they would undoubtedly put themselves in danger.
This rice country is not like the country, you can go on a rampage, this rice country is a completely strange country, and there may be how many people are waiting to dismantle themselves in the dark.
And that woman, what is her identity?
Zhou Chen sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about the woman's affairs, as soon as she came back, someone would come up to find trouble, and the woman pushed everything on herself in order for herself to successfully escape, and the white man who was beaten down by herself was a mafia, and those mafia people were guarding the door, as long as they went out, then they would inevitably be impatient.
And what is the purpose of the old shopkeeper revealing the news to himself, is it a temptation or is he really kind enough to warn himself?
I have to say that this trip to the United States is a real step-by-step camp, and it is thrilling everywhere!
"Bang Bang ......"
"Ah......h
The fierce gunshots, the screams of people after being shot, floated in from the half-open window like a ghost, Zhou Chen jumped up from the bed suddenly, and then heard the sound of hurried footsteps, coming from the corridor outside.
"Bang Bang ......"
"Sir, sir......"
"Click!"
I saw that the young man who brought him tea just now was standing anxiously at Zhou Chen's door, looking at the sweat on his forehead, obviously running over in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, you'd better hurry up, this is not the place you can stay right now."
As he spoke, the gunshots outside became louder and louder, and it was clear that the men were gradually approaching the accommodation area behind.
"Bang!"
"Damn it!"
Zhou Chen suddenly pushed the young man standing at his door to the ground, and then he rolled on the ground violently, and with a flexible shake of his hand, a silver needle whistled out, and then there was a scream on the roof, and a black shadow fell from above.
"Get up, what's going on up ahead?"
"Sir, you'd better go quickly, one of our great enemies has come to the door."
"Enemies?"
"Mafia, you should have heard of it, oops, there's no time, you better hurry up."
Who knows, after Zhou Chen listened to the words of this young waiter, he had no intention of leaving at all, but strode towards the place where the fierce battle was raging outside.
In front of the garden, it was already a mess, and a large group of burly white and black men in suits with long guns and short guns were coming menacingly to surround the people of the Xichuan Guild Hall who looked like quails.
The old man with inconvenient legs and feet stood at the front of the crowd with an angry face, and said to the mafia men with fierce faces: "Are you going to completely turn against us?" ”
A black man who seemed to be the leader of the lead laughed coldly, showed his snow-white teeth, and said in fluent American English: "No, no, old man, we are not here to make war with you, but to ask you for someone." ”
"Hmph, ask for someone, what a high-sounding reason, as long as I am here, you don't want to take someone away from the hall today."
The lame old man stood there with a proud face, not afraid of the black man, and his eyes were shining.
"Stubborn, find ......"
"Whoosh!"
Just when the black man was halfway through speaking, from the corridor behind, there was a purple light, with a sharp whistling sound, and then the black man stood there fixedly, no longer moving, and then he heard the sound of broken bones, and the black man's head actually rose to the sky, and a long sword shining with purple light was frozen in the air, constantly emitting a chill that made people feel chills all over the body.
For a while, the whole garden was surprisingly quiet, everyone turned their heads behind them, and looked at Zhou Chen, who had a gloomy face, and walked out from behind with a grim smile.
"Mafia?"
"You, you, you......"
"Throw all the guns at me, or I'll let you be like him." Zhou Chen looked coldly at those who were still murderous just now, and at this time they looked at him like frightened beasts and said.
And those people in the Xichuan Hall immediately frowned with joy, and the feeling of escaping death was really not very comfortable.
"Smack!"
Someone finally couldn't stand it anymore because of Zhou Chen's powerful aura, and threw the gun in his hand on the ground, which seemed to be contagious, with the first person, there would be a second person who threw all the guns in his hand on the ground with a crackle, as if waiting for someone to pronounce a sentence, and fixed their eyes on Zhou Chen's face.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me to do?" Zhou Chen glanced at those people from the mafia, and seeing that none of them dared to come out to speak, his voice suddenly became a few degrees colder, and threatened: "If you don't say it, then let me all die." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Chen waved his right hand, and the terrifying long sword danced again, and a frightened white man fell to his knees in a fright, and said in horror: "Sir, we really don't know, we just received an order from the party, let us come to you, sir." ”
"Your party? In that case, then you can go back to me and bring him a word, I will definitely visit them in the evening, now you can get out of me. ”
"Yes, yes, get out."
Those people were like they had been pardoned, hugging their heads and running around.
When those people left, the lame old man came to Zhou Chen's side with his body bent up, clasping his fists and saying words of gratitude.
However, Zhou Chen hurriedly straightened him up and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, I originally caused you inconvenience, and I should apologize." ”
"If you don't dislike it, Mr. Hehe, please go to the inner room and talk."
"Inside, please."
"Please."
The old man turned around and beckoned to the people in the guild hall who were still scared just now, asking them to clean up the front first, and then led the way in front and took Zhou Chen down to an underground secret room.
The entrance to the secret room is a wall in the deepest part of the corridor, and there is an unknown oil painting hanging on the wall, although Zhou Chen does not know how to paint, but the painting of a half-naked European woman holding porcelain looks extremely beautiful and seductive, so that he can't help but swallow his saliva.
The secret room mechanism is on the back of the painting, the old man lightly lifted the painting a corner, revealing the mechanism, and the seemingly thick wall turned in like a revolving door, and after Zhou Chen entered with the old man, the wall gradually returned to its original appearance.
The house is brightly lit, the decoration is extremely magnificent, in front of you is an antique desk, the desk is neatly placed with pen, ink and paper inkstone, it seems that this is the old man's private hobby, behind the table is a primary color of the Taishi chair, look at the color of the wood to know that this is a valuable sandalwood, in this foreign country to find such a good thing, it is not easy.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was fascinated, the old man smiled proudly, invited Zhou Chen to sit down on the sofa, and then poured Zhou Chen a cup of gongfu tea, and said in a straight voice: "Sir, I don't know how you were targeted by the mafia?" ”
The old man went straight to the point, and didn't mean to be polite to him at all, and directly asked him why he was targeted by the mafia, but Zhou Chen didn't care, and after saying the matter briefly, the old man let out a long breath, and then put his mind at ease.
"Sir, I don't know if you recognize the woman you are talking about?"
"Of course I don't know, I just came here, and she was on a plane, who knew that I just got off the plane, and I saw her surrounded by a group of people on the road at the entrance of the airport, and I don't know what she said to those people, those people came at me, and the result was that I beat those people, and then they targeted them."
"Hiss......"
The old man couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, why did he offend that woman? In his memory, that woman didn't seem to be that kind of person, huh?
But why did she want to attack Zhou Chen? No, it should be that she got something that interested the mafia when she returned to China this time, otherwise those mafia people, although they are incompatible with herself and others, the bottom line is that both sides are restrained.
Could it be that the young man in front of him was used by that woman, so that she could get out?
But as soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of Zhou Chen's ghostly and extraordinary-like methods before.
If this matter is not solved well, maybe this young man will kill him.
"Sir, I wonder if there is some misunderstanding in this?"
"Haha, misunderstanding? If you say I'm an ordinary person, do you think I'd be killed by those people a long time ago? ”
"This ......"
The old man was speechless when he heard Zhou Chen's words, but this matter must be resolved, otherwise there would be really trouble, just when he was about to explain, he heard Zhou Chen say: "That woman, she must also be inextricably linked with you, right?" ”
"Yes, sir, we are very friendly partners with her family."
"In that case, then I won't say more, if you want to go against me, you can do it right now, I don't have that much time to play those shady tricks with you here." When Zhou Chen heard the old man's words, he immediately understood that the woman was obviously in league with them, otherwise why would he be saying good things for that woman every word?
"Sir, where do we dare to oppose you, I dare to guarantee that we have nothing to do with this matter, and I will never say a word more."
"In that case, let's go out now, and then you can find someone to show me the way."
"Yes, yes."
The two went out one after another, and the old man sent Zhou Chen back to the room where he was resting before, and then left worriedly, and he didn't know if he had sent a message to the woman.
Zhou Chen originally wanted to ask about that woman, but he didn't expect that as long as the old man talked about that woman, he would deliberately change the topic to other things, and Zhou Chen had no choice but to give up.
