Chapter 376: Behind the Shock
What appeared in front of Xia Lan was the rich middle-aged man he lured out when he sneaked into the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion a few days ago, and after hearing the other party's urgent and urgent notice, Xia Lan boarded the carriage that the other party had prepared without saying a word, and quickly galloped towards the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion together.
He knew the strength of the rich middle-aged man, and even a strong man like him showed a panicked and anxious look, indicating that something big must have happened on Sir Holebas's side, how could this not make Xia Lan feel cautious.
When Charan asked Sir Hollebas why Sir Hollebas had summoned him urgently, Pilar's answer immediately shocked him.
There was an accident in the abandoned warehouse in Baifan District.
In the evening, he noticed the sneaky figure near the abandoned warehouse and immediately launched an investigation, but he did not expect that he was ambushed by the other party in the process of pursuit, if it was not for him desperately breaking through, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape the end of death on the spot.
When Xia Lan heard this, his whole person was gloomy and speechless, and the terrifying aura that emanated from his body made Pilar, who was sitting opposite him, feel a little frightened.
It wasn't until the two arrived at the Governor's Mansion and hurried to Sir Holebas's study that Charan sat at his desk in silence and finally fell in love.
"Sir Holebas! Have you forgotten my warning to you? β
He asked rather rudely and politely, and his eyes were filled with piercing coldness as he stared at Holebas.
"It's come to this, and it's useless to talk about it." Holebas knows it's wrong. But the same tough attitude.
"There's just one thing I want to know. Did your guards reveal anything about the relics? Xia Lan said indifferently.
"You can rest assured of that. Even if he died, it would be impossible to reveal the slightest bit of information about the relics! Holebas snorted coldly.
Xia Lan's expression eased slightly, and the atmosphere in the study gradually lost the initial tension, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "How is the guard's injury?" Can I go see him now and ask about something? β
"His injuries have settled down, and he is now recuperating, so I'm afraid it's not suitable to disturb." Sir Hollebas said.
"What if I have to see him?"
As soon as Xia Lan spoke, the atmosphere in the study became tense again.
"Lord Sir, perhaps Charan's insistence on seeing Nessid may be something really important. It's better to ......" At this time, Pilar, who was silent on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Sir Hollebas to ease the atmosphere, he didn't want Holebas and Charan to completely fall out and break up because of this matter, and the result was not good for both parties.
After all, Holebas is a person who cares about the overall situation, and he chooses to compromise, but this does not mean that he is giving in to Xia Lan and showing weakness.
A seed of rupture was unconsciously planted in the future relationship between the two at this moment.
β¦β¦
Nested on a large white bed, his breath faint and coming and going, his body wrapped in bright red gauze, he opened his eyes. With a slight struggle, he turned his head to look at the group of people standing in front of the bed.
"Nesid is it? I would like to know all the causes and consequences that happened to you when you were seriously injured. As soon as Xia Lan saw the other party open his eyes, he asked directly.
Instead of answering Charan immediately, Necid looked slightly at Sir Holaibas on the side. After the other party nodded slightly, he slowly said with difficulty: "At that time, I remembered that I was silently vigilant at the scene I dug up, and suddenly I found a sneaky figure quietly probing the scene in my perception, and then I planned to secretly track down the origin of the other party, maybe the other party found out my tracking tracks, and then immediately fled, I felt strange and hurriedly chased after it, who knows...... Who knew that I had met the ambush they had prepared earlier......"
Necid coughed violently, his chest rose and fell, his face suddenly turned blue and white, and after a long time, he waited for his body to stabilize before continuing: "There are three people on the other side, and their strength is at least in the upper middle rank, and the cloak covered in pitch black can't see clearly, and I immediately started to flee when I noticed that something was wrong, but the other party's reaction was beyond my imagination, they blocked my way, and asked me something......"
"What questions did they ask you?" Xia Lan interjected with a calm face.
"They asked me the real reason for the purpose of digging the ground of the abandoned warehouse!" Inner West Road. "But I remained silent and didn't answer any of their questions, and as a result, they tried to kill me!!"
A hint of pain appeared on Necid's face, as if recalling the scene of the terrible battle.
"Their strength is very strong, they are fierce and ferocious, and the most terrifying thing is that they work together seamlessly, and in a moment I was hit hard under their siege, if it wasn't for the potion that I had to stimulate my potential and took it in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to survive the siege at that time......."
"Aside from their strength, have you noticed any strange traits on them?" Xia Lan asked.
"Strange features?"
Necid fell into deep thought for a moment and began to think about it carefully.
"Wait...... It's as if they do have something in common. Necid's eyes widened, and he said as if he had thought of something: "Although they wear pitch-black cloaks to blind themselves, they will show their sword-holding hands when they attack, and I noticed that they are all wearing the same style of silver gray ring on the middle finger of their left hand!" β
Sure enough, it's them!
Charan was distracted, and there was nothing unusual on his face, he nodded, turned and motioned for Sir Holebas to finish asking himself, and then, it was inconvenient for them to disturb Necid's recuperation and quit the room and returned to Sir Hollebas's study again.
"You seem to know who the man who attacked the ambush in Inner West was was."
Even if Xia Lan covered it up well just now, Holebas still saw the clue.
"Yes, but I can't tell you who they are!" Xia Lan admitted.
"Is there an enemy in the whole of Port Louis that I can't even do anything?" Sir Holebus snorted coldly.
Can you handle the "Subversive Fangs" that even the "Radiant Sanctuary" is helpless for? Charan couldn't help but feel ridiculous at Holebas's arrogance, but there were some things he wouldn't say.
"The only thing we can be thankful for now is that the relic hasn't been revealed." Xia Lan diverted the topic.
"But sooner or later they'll know!" Sir Hollebas said. "There will always be a day when relics are excavated."
But the location where the relic is buried is fake, and the relic will never be excavated, Xia Lan looked at Holebas and sneered secretly, but said in his mouth: "So we must take the strictest precautions before the relic is excavated." β
"I really want to know what the relic in your mouth is right now." Sir Holebas said in a deep voice.
"I advise you not to know." Xia Lan said coldly: "Moreover, if this relic is obtained by the people who ambushed Inner Zealand, things will go to a situation that you can't imagine." β
Alarmist!
Inside, Holebas disdained Charan's horrific warnings, and Pure Shatter thought he was trying to cut off his thoughts of the relic.
Ancient relics! Even Holebas couldn't be indifferent, and hearing Xia Lan say this, he was very interested in the relics!
"What if their people reappeared?" Holebas feigned concern.
"Ignore it!" Xia Lan said dryly.
"But we won't forget the hatred of Neshid!" Holebas said with a sinking face.
"Sooner or later, you'll face them."
Want revenge? You are certainly a powerful man in Port Louis, but what is "subverting fangs"? They are the terrifying existence of the subversion and destruction of one country after another in Elderland's history, if Holebas wants to find death, Xia Lan can't care, as long as he doesn't interfere with his plan to dig up relics, he can provoke the "subversive fangs"!
However, the "subversive fangs" hovered in his mind like a nightmare, and he decided that he had to track and investigate their movements himself these days, otherwise it would be difficult for Xia Lan to sleep.
He was not prepared to tell SΓΉ Holebas of his actions, and after this incident, he no longer trusted Holebas, perhaps he had faintly begun to perceive that Holebas had developed a greedy mind for relics.
Pity.
Neither the "Subversive Fangs" nor Holebas will ever get the Relic!
β¦β¦
The next day, Xia Lan came to the vicinity of No. 112 Abandoned Warehouse in Baifan District and secretly observed the surrounding movements in the shadows, early morning, noon, and evening, Xia Lan never found any suspicious traces around, just when he decided to give up today's observation and return to the hotel, an inexplicable figure suddenly appeared in his perception.
Here it comes?!
Following the perceptual detection direction, Xia Lan immediately took a breath and started tracking, and after a while, he found a man in black who was watching the movement of warehouse 122 in the distance in a dark alley.
Xia Lan did not alarm the other party, but quietly and patiently observed the man in black, like a yellow finch behind a praying mantis catching a cicada.
Until late in the wee hours of the morning, the man in black withdrew, while Xia Lan followed him.
He saw that the man in black had entered an ordinary house shortly after he had evacuated, and when he reappeared, by the light of the street lamp, the other party was dressed as a young and handsome aristocratic son, and he drove slowly through a few streets and alleys, and got into a luxurious carriage parked in the alley.
At this moment, Xia Lan suddenly felt that the carriage was somewhat familiar, and what he didn't expect was that the carriage actually stopped in front of a gorgeous residence on Lilac Avenue in Wisteria District.
Xia Lan's eyelids jumped, he would not forget about this.
Because he's been here before.
The door of the house opened, the carriage drove in slowly, the door of the brightly lit house was opened, and a familiar figure appeared, and the young nobleman got out of the car in front of the door, stepped forward and hugged the person who greeted him affectionately, and then the two walked in together.
Xia Lan walked out of the gloomy alley and looked at the gorgeous residence in the distance with a cloudy expression.
He didn't expect that the true identity of the man in black would be Sir Laulanders!
And it was Winnie who greeted him at the door of the house! (To be continued......)
