Chapter 102: A Conspiracy in the Shadows
After a fierce controversy, the leader of the Mandrill Gang and Red Bean had to bow their heads in front of the old mayor and the snow monster, and promised that the Mandrill Gang would be disbanded, and then the two would rehabilitate the old mayor in front of the whole town, and Red Bean left Kashi Town with the CLA members, or (rì). After everything was settled, the old mayor went to the town to inject the antidote (shè) for the residents, and the people of the Mandrill Gang were gone, and only the gang leader remained in the camp, and he was afraid that his last time (rì) would be spent there.
Hongdou walked on the streets of Kashi Town, looking at the still towering Qinli Snow Mountain in the distance, and listening to the endless chirping of eagles in the air. The wind is still blowing from the mountain stream, and the wind and horse flags on the roof are floating back and forth (dàng), and everything has not changed, but it has changed again.
Residents lined up in a long line around the old town mayor (shēn), and the faces of each person who injected the antidote (shè) were filled with joy, and some people were suspicious, some were spitting, and some were sighing as the red beans passed by them. When Azuki walked to the door of the bar, the bartender was taking back the sign at the door, and he saw Azuki coming and said.
"We're leaving?"
Red Bean nodded and said with a smile.
"Pack up and leave tomorrow."
The bartender nodded and put the signboard into the room, and Azuki walked into the warehouse inside, and in the dim room, he could only vaguely see the notebook spread out on the table, which was the notebook that Azuki usually used to record some battle plans. She sat against the door, surprised at how calm she was. At this time, there was the shouting of people outside the house, and the bartender came and knocked on the door.
"You should come out and have a look."
Red Bean asked with a long sigh and stood up (shēn), opened the door.
"What?"
"You'll find out when you come out."
Red Bean Fox walked out of the room suspiciously, and through the glass on the bar door, she saw the turtle in the distance slowly walking towards the town, and many residents were already running towards the turtle. Red Bean noticed the cold ice in the turtle's mouth, and her dead heart was rekindled.
Hongdou opened the door and went out, but she couldn't seem too excited at this time, and when the turtle stopped in front of the bar, Mishima first ordered Scar Man to help Zhang Ze and Bai'er in to rest, and then asked him to order the turtle to take care of Feng Shi Hanbing not (yǔn) and allow anyone to approach. Mishima walked over to the red bean at the door of the bar, and the red bean said.
"You made it."
Mishima shook his head and looked at the unconscious Zhang Ze, and said lightly.
"He made it."
"Am I always wrong?"
"It's not that you're wrong, it's your paranoia that is leading you to a dead end. Revenge isn't your thing, so from now on let me and Fluttershy help you reclaim CLA. ”
Hongdou Mu nodded, she looked at the sealed cold ice in Xuan Gui's mouth, then looked at Zhang Ze who was unconscious, and then turned (shēn) into the bar. Mishima says to Fluttershy.
"You help take care of Bai'er and Zhang Ze."
"Got it."
Fluttershy hesitates, then continues.
"Brother, what should I do with Sister Hongdou?"
"She should be dead by now, take her back to Zhonghai City."
Times (rì) Tianming, when Zhang Ze opened his eyes, he felt a sore (shēn), and he suddenly sat up suddenly, and secretly thought in his heart.
"Ice."
Zhang Ze looked around and found that he (shēn) was lying on his left hand side with Bai'er, his breathing was steady at this time, but his face was still the same as before. With Fluttershy lying on her right, Jìn moves to Shēn, thinking that something couldn't have happened last night. He quickly dismissed this evil thought, and then he saw Mishima sitting in the corner again, and he stared blankly at the street outside the window and spit out a thick puff of smoke, more like sighing. Zhang Ze asked.
"You haven't slept all night, have you?"
Mishima was startled when he heard this, turned (shēn) to look at Zhang Ze, who was standing up with his stomach covered, and asked.
"How are you?"
"It's not a big deal, I wake up feeling better."
"That's good. I thought about it all night, and I thought it was better to discuss it with you. ”
Zhang Ze paused in surprise and said.
"What's the matter?"
"I want to bring the red beans back."
Zhang Ze took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, and he heard the sound of burning cigarette paper. Zhang Ze let out a long puff of cigarette, raised his hand and scratched his hair and said.
"Isn't that what we're here for?"
Mishima said with a smile.
"Thank you."
"But I have one condition."
"You say."
"After saving Fang Fan with the Sealed World Ice, you must return the Ice Ice."
Mishima chuckled in his heart, he and Zhang Ze both knew the purpose of the red bean to be cold, Zhang Ze said this to let Mishima persuade the red bean to dispel the idea of selling the feudal cold ice to the general, Mishima hesitated for a moment and said.
"I understand, I'm on your side in this matter."
Zhang Ze pulled a chair and sat down and said.
"As for the matter of retaking the CLA, I will help, and I don't think Fang Fan will sit idly by."
Mishima said with a wave of his hand.
"That's our family affair, and I can fix it."
Zhang Ze looked at Mishima's determined appearance, so he no longer insisted, let everything be natural. The bell rings at the door of the bar, and Fluttershy is awakened by the doorbell and looks at the door with a sleepy frown. Zhang Ze and Mishima also looked over, and saw a figure in the sun standing at the door on crutches, he said.
"Good morning, everybody."
When he walked into the bar, Zhang Ze saw that the other party turned out to be the old mayor, and he had changed into a clean and decent (shēn) clothes, a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hands on crutches, looking like an old pedant. Zhang Ze hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"I said I'm going to visit you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to find the Sealed Ice at all. ”
The old mayor said with a wave of his hand.
"Don't take it personally, you gave me the antidote, and I should also give you the location of the cold ice, it was you who helped me save the whole town. The Sealed Ice was originally used to protect this town, but he didn't expect it to cause trouble for the town. ”
Zhang Ze put the old mayor in his chair, and the old mayor put his crutches aside and continued.
"The moment I was driven up the snowy mountain, I realized that it wasn't the ice that guarded the town, but here."
The old mayor pointed to his heart and continued.
"If it's empty here, even the gods won't help here. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for the fact that if it weren't for you, the town might be over. ”
"You won the prize, and we found the antidote by mistake."
Mishima asked.
"What about the snow monsters?"
"They've all gone back to the snowy mountains, and that's their home."
"You said that those snow monsters were made of heartless ice cubes, what did you mean?"
The old mayor laughed and said.
"It's been a long time since I talked about it, and I only found out about it later. In fact, those snow monsters are the souls of the people who died in the town, and after they died, they turned into ice cubes of the snowy mountains and continued to watch over the town, and when they saw the strife caused by the cold ice of the sealed world, they turned into snow monsters (shēn). ”
"But there have been rumors of snow monsters for a long time."
"The snow monster has evolved from a spirit, and it is so important whether it is or is not, it can make the wicked fearful, but it can also make the good feel at ease. Do you say he is true or false, false or real? ”
Mishima had nothing to say, and Zhang Ze then asked.
"Yesterday when we were taking the ice of the world, a woman appeared in the magma pool. Do you know who she is? ”
The old mayor asked, visibly surprised.
"What kind of woman?"
"She was transformed from the appearance of magma, dressed in a red dress (shēn), and had a bewitching appearance. The most terrifying thing was her eyes, she seemed to be able to read my heart, and she knew what I was borrowing ice for. Her eyes were like fire, and they scorched my soul. ”
The old mayor sighed and said.
"You have to remember to return the ice as soon as you're done using it, or it's going to make a big mess."
Zhang Ze was shocked by the old mayor's words, so he nodded mechanically, and then asked carefully.
"Can you tell me who that woman is?"
The old mayor waved his hand and said.
"If only you remembered what I told you, don't ask anything else."
With that, the old mayor left the bar on crutches. Zhang Ze and Mishima looked at each other, full of questions in their hearts, and at this time, Hongdou, who was hiding in the dark, heard their conversation, she frowned, and her heart was tangled.
After noon, everyone packed their bags and prepared to leave, and the people of the town looked at the people who were about to leave the town with different eyes. Dolman rents a helicopter to transport Ice from Kashi to Zhonghai City, and Fluttershy follows the helicopter to escort Ice as he drives away with Zhangze, Mishima, Red Bean, and some members of the CLA.
In a short sentence, everyone returned safely to Zhonghai City, and their first stop was naturally the (chūn) taste bar. Wanli was full of joy when she saw Zhang Ze, and when she was about to hug him, she saw Bai'er hiding behind Zhang Ze (shēn), Wanli immediately lowered her (shēn) son, and Zhang Ze threw himself into the air and almost fell out. Wanli squatted beside Bai'er (shēn), and Bai'er timidly pinned her head to the side. Wanli grabbed Bai'er's cold little hand and asked.
"Hello, who are you?"
Bai'er heard Wanli's words, slowly turned her head and whispered.
"Bai'er."
Wanli also gasped when she saw Bai'er's white pupils, and then she calmed down and continued to ask.
"Where's your mom and dad?"
Bai'er didn't speak, and pointed at Zhang Ze. Wanli asked.
"He's your dad?"
Bai Er nodded ignorantly, stood up gracefully (shēn) and stared at Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze said.
"Dear, I want to kill you."
Wanli said with a smile on her face with a hint of coldness (yīn).
"This kid is your son?"
Zhang Ze looked at Wanli with a bewildered expression and said.
"How could it be. I've only been gone for a few days, how can I have a son, if this is my son, unless he is buckled in advance with a greenhouse. ”
Wanli's hand was already clenched into a fist and raised high, and she punched it while Zhang Ze was chattering. Wanli said while crying, covering her face and running to the side.
"That's the kind of person you are."
Bai'er giggled as she looked at him embarrassed after Zhang Ze (shēn). Zhang Ze glanced at Bai'er, who was smiling evilly, and said.
"You killed me."
With that, he chased in the direction of Wanli. Mishima lifted Bai'er up and shouted.
"Don't be naughty."
Mishima put Bai'er on his shoulder, and then called Toyoya Yu over and said.
"I'll show you someone."
Toyoya Yu watched Mishima open the rear car door, and then saw Azuki get out of the car, she was like being struck by lightning at this time, and she couldn't believe that the Azuki Bean in front of her was real, Azuki said.
"I'm back."
Toyoya Yu's tears couldn't be stopped any longer, flowing down her round and smooth cheeks, and she stepped forward and hugged the red bean hard, whispering in her ear.
"Welcome back."
Yuehan wanted to integrate into the atmosphere of reunion, but she looked at Fang Fan in the freezer. These days, Yuehan has been guarding Fang Fan (shēn), watching Fang Fan get weaker and weaker day by day, and her heart is as unbearable as being roasted by a blazing fire.
Zhang Ze finally explained it clearly to Wanli, but Wanli still wanted to punish him, and after Zhang Ze pleaded repeatedly, Wanli decided to put the punishment after Fang Fan woke up.
Zhang Ze summoned the green snake and said.
"The ice has been found, what are we going to do now?"
The two of them came to the freezer where Fang Fan was locked up as they spoke, the temperature of the freezer had been adjusted to the lowest, but it didn't work at all for the phoenix fire in Fang Fan's body. The green snake looked at it and said.
"Take off all the clothes on him (shēn) and put him on the ice of the world."
Zhang Ze opened the freezer and took Fang Fan out, and when he was about to undress him, Yuehan said.
"I'll do it."
Fang Fan was naked at this time, out of the freezer, his skin was rapidly turning red at a speed that was visible to his eyes, and the green snake hurriedly said.
"Put him on the ice."
Yue Han and Zhang Ze worked together to put Fang Fan on the cold ice, and the moment Fang Fan touched the cold ice, a burst of white mist rose into the air, Fang Fan's face suddenly improved a lot, and Zhang Ze and Yue Han both breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, an incredible phenomenon appeared, the cold ice began to melt under Fang Fan (shēn), Zhang Ze looked at it dumbfounded, and said.
"This piece of sealed ice won't melt in magma."
The more Zhang Ze looked at it, the more distressed he became.
"Don't do that, I have to pay it back."
The green snake patted Zhang Ze's back and said.
"Don't be afraid, there will be fun when Fang Fan wakes up."
Yue Han looked at Fang Fan, who was lying on the ice and kept sinking, and secretly prayed in his heart that he would wake up soon. Zhang Ze said.
"Alright, Yuehan. You go and rest, I'll leave it here. ”
Yuehan stubbornly shook his head and said.
"I'm going to wait for him to wake up."
Zhang Ze smiled faintly and pulled the green snake out.
At the same time, a man with a bandaged face sat up from the cold operating table, and the wound was still a little painful. The wolf boy was packing up the surgical tools on the side, and Qiman sat on the chair next to him, playing with a scalpel in his hand and said.
"One more operation is over. You will not be Zhao (chūn) Hua in the future, you will change your name to Lin Geng, a real estate agent who has returned from studying abroad, and the owner of Lin's real estate company. ”
The other party nodded and said in a slurred voice.
"As long as you don't let me die, you can do anything. But there's something I want to ask. ”
"Say."
"Can you tell my (shēn) share to my family?"
Qiman stood up (shēn), her red heels tapping rhythmically on the cold floor, and she said lightly.
"From the moment you became Lin Geng, you have already said goodbye to your family."
Lin Geng lowered his head silently, not daring to speak. Qiman continued.
"I will inform your family that you are dead and give them a large amount of settling-in money, in short, you don't have to worry about the follow-up, you just need to play your role well."
Lin Geng nodded quietly, his tears flowed (qíng) under the cover of gauze, and there was a heart-piercing pain when he drilled into the wound on his face.
Fang Fan finally woke up three days later, and the moment he opened his eyes, his first reaction was that he was lying in a large piece of cold ice, and he shouted loudly until Yue Han's face appeared in front of him. Yue Han helped Fang Fan out of the ice, Fang Fan was still very weak at this time, but he smiled at Yue Han and said.
"Wife, I'm back."
Yuehan hugged Fang Fan and cried loudly, and the cry attracted everyone. The first one to rush in was Wanli, and when she saw Yuehan crying bitterly with the naked Fang Fan in her arms, she said subconsciously.
"Oops."
Then he hurriedly covered his eyes, and Zhang Ze, who came in later, looked at Fang Fan who was ** and hurriedly reminded.
"Old Fang, you put on your clothes first."
Fang Fan looked down and realized that he was now naked, and he said in Yuehan's ear.
"Wife, you let go first, I'll put on my clothes."
Yue Han hugged Fang Fan tightly and shook her head vigorously, the people who were blocked by Zhang Ze and Wanli (shēn) all peeked in from the gap, and Zhang Ze had to take everyone out and wait first. After a while, Fang Fanxia (shēn) passed a pair of shorts, and Shang (shēn) walked out with a shirt, he looked at the people waiting in the bar lobby, smiled and said.
"Guys, I'm back."
Everyone looked at Fang Fan with a reassuring smile. Fang Fan continued.
"I've been giving everyone trouble these days, and I'd be enough without you."
At this time, Zhang Ze walked over and put an arm on Fang Fan's shoulder and said.
"Even if you enter the ghost gate, we will find a way to pull you out."
Yuehan pinched his hand vigorously and said.
"A dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth."
Zhang Ze screamed in pain, and Wanli said with a smile on the side.
"Well deserved."
Yuehan said to Fang Fan.
"It's up to Zhang Ze and Mishima to save you this time."
Zhang Ze hurriedly interrupted.
"Stop, skip the part of incitement (qíng). Now let the old man cultivate well, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the future. ”
After a brief celebration, everyone dispersed, and Fang Fan found Zhang Ze and Mishima and stretched out their hands to them and said.
"Thanks to you this time, thank you."
Zhang Ze knocked Fang Fan's hand away and scolded with a smile.
"Are you still coming here with me (tào)?"
Fang Fan smiled faintly, and Mishima patted Fang Fan on the arm. At this time, Zhang Ze said.
"Old Fang, although you just woke up, you shouldn't be put into work so quickly, but I think it's necessary for you to take a look at this."
Fang Fan took the tablet in Zhang Ze's hand and looked at it for a while and said.
"Is there anything special about this newly established Lin Real Estate Company?"
"You see where they are in the auction."
Fang Fan scrolled down the screen, and suddenly he saw three words and said.
"Wanyo Island."
"That's right, I don't think this Lin real estate company is definitely not simple."
"After Long Feng's death, Group K was disbanded, but there is indeed no clear successor to his assets, but is Wanyou Island his private property?"
Zhang Ze nodded and said.
"Wanyou Island was brought by Longfeng from a real estate predator in the early years, but it is said that the owner of this island is really not Longfeng."
"In other words, Long Feng only has the right to use Wanyou Island, but he has no ownership."
"That's right."
"Then do you know who that real estate tycoon is?"
"Su Shengliang."
Fang Fan was shocked when he heard this name and said.
"He's the one who holds the whole of Southeast Asia in the palm of his hand. How could Long Feng pit him back then? ”
Zhang Ze shrugged and said.
"I don't know."
"Did you find his most recent itinerary?"
"He is in Zhonghai City now, and the day after tomorrow is the last auction on Wanyou Island."
Fang Fan put the tablet aside and said.
"When I've settled one thing, we'll meet him."
"What's the matter?"
Fang Fan stood up (shēn) and stretched, smiling and silently watching the sunset outside the window.
