Tang Shao and Ouyang Beiyan sat in the hotel room with big eyes, but they had their own thoughts. They no longer limit their imagination with reason, because everything in front of them is too strange for reason to explain, unless it is in a very real dream, but what they see with their own eyes is obviously not a dream.

The sun shifted from the left side of the window to the right side of the window, and no one came except for the hotel people who came to check on the room for any damage from the explosion. For a while, Ouyang Beiyan squatted next to the paper basket and took out the paper balls inside, and looked at them one by one. That expression was like a martial idiot reading a sunflower book.

I couldn't sleep with thick glasses, even if he was still sleeping when the hotel people came, and he slept very devotedly. There is also only the occasional snoring that proves that the person is still alive.

As night fell, there was a knock on the door of the room. Tang Shao went to open the door, and a big man appeared at the door, looking at his figure, he should be the driver who took them out of the mountain.

"Mr. Ruan asked me to take you to meet her." The big man's eyes were glazed, and his words were as flat as water.

"Aren't you from Ah Hu? Where's Hu?" Tang Shao asked intentionally hesitantly. But the big man only said his purpose and turned away. Tang Shao didn't want to take back the initiative all the time, but these people were too good at playing people. Tang Shao could only sigh and follow silently.

Or that dirt bike with pink interior. The car started and passed through the brightly lit city into darkness. At first, Tang Shao wanted to write down the path, but the sudden appearance of darkness made him dispel this thought.

I don't know how long I walked, but the lights appeared in my eyes again, and it was a small village that was quite wealthy. The car stopped in front of a dilapidated two-story building, and the big man said coldly, "Get out of the car." ”

The big man's voice seemed to come from a machine, and it was impossible to arouse the slightest interest in communicating with him.

The lights in the small building are all on, but they are all low-level incandescent lamps, which are not very bright. The dim light illuminates the dilapidated building, giving people a very nostalgic feeling.

Walking into the living room, Tang Shao shouted, but no one responded. Fortunately, the small building in the room has been cleaned, and the sofas and chairs are old but very clean. The room was also warm, and Tang Shao and Ouyang Beiyan returned to the state of staring at each other with big eyes. This time, Tang Shao's mind was even more confused, and he even began to regret that he had followed so casually. He came without even knowing whether Mr. Nguyen was a friend or foe, and he was likely to die a silent death.

An hour later, there was finally movement outside the door. As soon as a car stopped at the door, Mr. Nguyen's voice was heard.

"The two little friends waited for a long time, and went to meet an old friend and delayed the time. Excuse me. ”

Mr. Ruan entered the door with a cold wind, looking dusty.

Tang Shao didn't know what the other party was thinking, and he didn't speak.

"Hehe, I won't kill you." Mr. Ruan comforted Tang Shao very considerately, and then asked them to sit down.

"You know, if you want to kill me, you don't have to make such a big deal." Tang Shao is not polite, at least he must pretend to be polite.

Mr. Ruan always had a vague smile on his face, and he did not deny Tang Shao's words.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Mr. Ruan casually asked, "Odd Numbers told you a lot of things, right?" ”

"Is Odd the man with thick glasses? He said a lot, but I didn't understand most of it. I remember that he went to kill people. Tang Shao was in his heart

The definition of strength is probably this way of speaking with cynicism at every turn.

Mr. Ruan was still smiling to herself, she could see through everything, and Tang Shao's little caution was not in her eyes at all.

"It's okay if you don't understand, it's my trade secret. You see, I have to think about whether I want to kill people. Mr. Ruan's face suddenly became serious, and there was really a vicious murderous intent in his eyes, which made Tang Shao's heart cold, and his body trembled.

Seeing Tang Shao's reaction, Mr. Ruan instantly smiled again: "I said I won't kill you." Odd is a man who doesn't talk much, and he wouldn't and wouldn't dare to tell you so much if it weren't for my orders. ”

Mr. Ruan smiled again, but Tang Shao's thinking was fixed on the few seconds when Mr. Ruan's face showed a fierce light. Thinking about it, Tang Shao couldn't think of anything terrible, but it was unsettling. It feels like watching a ghost movie, the most terrifying thing is not when you are face to face with a ghost, but when the ghost seems to be there before it appears. Tang Shao and Ouyang Beiyan glanced at each other very tacitly, obviously she was also frightened by the look just now.

"Do you know where this is?" Mr. Nguyen asked.

"I don't know." Tang Shao answered Mr. Ruan's question honestly like a good baby in kindergarten.

"This is the old house of the Ren family. It used to be the most luxurious mansion in the village. Twenty or thirty years ago, there was a dilapidated landlord living here, and the house was as dilapidated as it is now. Fortunately, the family's minds are still bright. As soon as the years of persecution passed, he immediately regained some vitality. Their newly grown son also inherited the family's brilliant mind, and it only took two years to become the big family of the village again. ”

Mr. Ruan took the time to light a cigarette, took a deep breath and continued to tell the history of a man's entrepreneurship.

The eldest son of the Ren family is the hero of this story. In Mr. Nguyen's account, he was a man who was sometimes ruffian and sometimes calm when he was young. In the first few years of reform and opening up, he went south to develop and made a fortune after doing some half-black and half-white business. But the good times didn't last long, because they offended some people because of their ugly appearance, they were blacked out, and they lost money, not to mention, and almost got into it. In the end, he only ended up fleeing.

"The first time I met him was at a ball. At that time, he was already down, relying on a shoddy suit to support the façade, and he had dozens of dollars left in his pocket to pretend to eat and drink there like a playboy. Of course, we only made eye contact for the first time.

Shortly after that, I met him at another ball. That's when I suddenly became interested in this person, and I couldn't figure out how such a nasty ruffian could survive on those tens of dollars and a shoddy outfit. I remember the first thing I said to him was, 'Hey, how did you get in?' He probably thought I was the master of the ball, and the plate in his hand almost fell. ”

When he said this, Mr. Ruan suddenly burst out laughing, and it seemed that he still found it very interesting when he thought about it.

"But the ruffian is not embarrassed, and after a few words we become acquaintances. I can't remember what he said at the time, it was all gibberish anyway. It was from that time that I helped him meet many people, helped him build relationships, and helped him establish the current e-era. ”

Tang Shao suddenly realized, thinking that this woman just wanted to talk about her emotional experience, but she didn't expect her to talk about the e era

The founding process. Just when Tang Shao was expecting Mr. Ruan to talk to him about the secrets of the E era, she maintained the tone of reading poetry and continued to tell him interesting stories about the eldest son of the old rich family.

"Do you know what his name is? Ren Da Niu is said to have been given by the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army. Later, he started a business, and his name was changed to Ren Qianzhong, which was actually not much different from Da Niu, but he changed his name. He has never been good at choosing names, and when the company was first established, he named his company Jiusheng. At that time, he explained to me that the name Tu is soil, but it has a good meaning. I later learned that the name was completely copied from their village grocery store. The store used to be on the opposite door, and you could see it every day when you went in and out. Later, the company developed, and he himself figured out an 'etime', saying that the abbreviation 'et' is very bullish. I suddenly felt that Jiusheng was actually quite good. ”

Mr. Ruan chattered and had a tendency to talk about his daily life.

"What does it have to do with me?" Tang Shao finally couldn't help it and interrupted Mr. Ruan.

Mr. Ruan was not angry when he was interrupted, but sighed a little unfinished and said, "Later, I killed him." ”

This sentence shocked Tang Shao's heart, and he could hear from Mr. Ruan's tone that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and this turn of events was a bit unexpected.

"Is it strange? In the end, it's all about profit. I'm willing to help him because he can bring me benefits. But later, when he understood what I was going to do, he tried to stop me, and he said it was for my good. Hehe, since he refuses to be controlled by me, I have to change to someone who can control me. ”

Mr. Ruan's poignant smile gave Tang Shao goosebumps. He suddenly felt that the frightening thing in Mr. Ruan might not be the so-called strong temperament, but mental illness.

"You're afraid of me?" Mr. Nguyen asked casually.

Tang Shao hurriedly shook his head and denied it, but his face was clearly fearful.

"Don't you want to know what I'm going to do?" Mr. Ruan's questions are casual and natural, like an old grandmother asking her grandson, "What do you want for lunch?" "That kind of expression. But this change in mood was too sudden, and that loving smile not only did not make Tang Shao relax, but made him more nervous.

"Think...... I want to ......," Tang Shao replied with a stammer.

"It's a secret that belongs to the three of us, or should I say four. Your father Tang Tianpei, your uncle Ouyang Dong, I still have that person. The secret began in ......" she always seemed to remember the time: "Yunnan more than thirty or forty years ago will also stop there, and things will soon have a result." I want to remind you that since it is a secret, it cannot be revealed, so you should not expect to find the answer to this matter from your father. I'm sure he won't give you any answers either. ”

"You brought me to this little mountain village just to tell me not to inquire about your secrets?" Tang Shao didn't understand, and he didn't understand it very much. Since you don't want him to know, it's better to let him go wherever he goes, and no one will tell him any secrets anyway. As for Old Mike, he seems to have gone the wrong way.

"In a few weeks, your father will be out of the house. I don't think he'll take you. When the time comes, all you have to do is make this call, and someone will help you find out the answer to this secret. Go to Yunnan" When Mr. Ruan spoke, a string of numbers appeared in Tang Shao's mind. The black numbers stand out against a dazzling white background, and they're impressive.
