Miao Ruolan smiled embarrassedly.

Yes, I asked "Brother Longlong" out for dinner, didn't I just want to tell him about the predicament faced by the company? Why did he hesitate when the other party took the initiative to mention it?

"Yes, the company is in trouble..."

Miao Ruolan sighed softly and told the whole process of the company's encounter with the decoration quality accident.

Huo Long listened intently. After listening, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself, "It turns out that it's this Huang Jiani again." ”

The voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Miao Ruolan, and she asked puzzledly, "What?" Brother Long, has Miss Huang done anything else like this? ”

"Oh, no. It's just a casual remark. ”

After speaking, Huo Long smiled slightly, and looked at the other party softly, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter for you." ”

"Can you handle it?"

Miao Ruolan couldn't help but be very curious when she saw the other party's calm expression. Ninety million liquidated damages, this is not a small amount of money, Brother Long Long actually said lightly that it can be handled, how to deal with it?

No, bear the huge amount of money for me.

"I don't know what to do with Brother Long? Can you tell me? Miao Ruolan had worry on her face, "If Brother Long pays out of his own pocket, then I will definitely not agree." ”

"Huh!"

Huo Long smiled, he couldn't help it, he reached out and touched the other party's cheek, "It's people who are bullying us, not us bullying others." Therefore, it is natural that people compensate us, not us compensate others. ”

These words made Miao Ruolan stupid all of a sudden. Obviously, Ruolan Company breached the contract due to a decoration quality accident, and it would be good not to compensate the other party, but in turn asked the other party to compensate?

Did you hear that right?

Seeing Miao Ruolan's face in disbelief, Huo Long looked at the other party with a warm gaze, and his tone was cold, "If you harm others, you will harm yourself." All those involved in this will pay the price. ”

Miao Ruolan smiled.

The scene when the other party auctioned "Tang Bohu's Self-Portrait" for himself at the auction is still in front of him, and he has reason to believe that this man who looks very much like Huo Long will not let himself be wronged.

At this moment, she felt an indescribable steadiness in her heart.

These days, she has been plagued by the company's decoration quality accidents, and it can be said that it is difficult to sleep. Now, like a hanging stone falling to the ground, she was suddenly relaxed.

"Brother Longlong, I respect you."

Miao Ruolan picked up the wine glass, took a sip, raised her neck, and drank the whole glass of red wine that was almost full.

Because she was a little anxious to drink, Miao Ruolan's face turned red all of a sudden.

Huo Long also drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the glass, he smiled slightly, and said to Miao Ruolan, "I have one thing, I don't understand very well, I have always wanted to ask you for advice in person." ”

"Brother Longlong, you are too polite, please speak."

"It's about the original version of the Beihai Chronicles that you gave me. You may not know it, but the "Beihai Historical Chronicles" left by your grandfather is actually a slate. ”

"Huh?!"

Miao Ruolan raised her head in surprise, "It turned out to be a stone slab?" ”

"Yes. Sealed tightly with kraft paper, it is square, and it looks like a book. However, when it was opened, it was a stone slab. ”

Huo Long did not specifically describe the strange pictures on the slate, but directly threw out the question hidden in his heart, "Where did grandpa go before his death?" Did he tell you about the origin of the slate? ”

"After graduating from university, I registered Ruolan Decoration Company, and due to my busy work, I don't usually have many opportunities to see my grandfather. It's just, on the weekend, buy some delicious food and go see grandpa..."

Miao Ruolan was thoughtful, talking and reminiscing. Suddenly, she remembered something, "By the way, I went to see my grandfather one weekend, and my grandfather was not at home, and I thought that my grandfather had gone out for a walk." However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing my grandfather come back, I wondered if my grandfather had an accident, and I panicked all of a sudden. I hurriedly went out to look for it, and I didn't see my grandfather for a long time..."

"When it was almost dark in the evening, Grandpa suddenly came back. I asked my grandfather where he had gone, and he told me that he had gone to Tuoshan early in the morning, so he came back late. ”

"I asked my grandfather what he was doing in Tuoshan, and he told me mysteriously that he had discovered a great secret, and this secret was related to Tuoshan. He went this time to reveal the secret. ”

Speaking of this, Miao Ruolan said in an affirmative tone, "I think that the stone slab left by my grandfather should come from Tuoshan." ”

"Why do you say that?" Miao Ruolan's words aroused Huo Long's great interest.

When he was a child, he had heard that a hundred kilometers away from the North Sea, there was a mountain called Tuo Mountain. Legend has it that when Lu Dongbin passed over, he pulled a piece of, and after it fell, it turned into a mountain. I really want to go and see it, but I don't dare to go, they all say that there are monsters in the mountain, and if people go, they will be eaten.

Grandpa Miao actually went to Tuoshan, perhaps, it was related to the slate.

"My grandfather was very obsessed with history, and he once told me that 500 years ago, there was a very large tsunami in the North Sea, and after the tsunami, people found a very large stone, shining with a very strange brilliance, and after being identified by experts, it turned out to be a meteorite. While the expert contacts and equipment were going to move the meteorite to the museum, the meteorite mysteriously disappeared..."

"Grandpa said that this incident was briefly recorded in the earliest "Beihai Historical Chronicles", but for some reason, when the "Beihai Historical Chronicles" was published later, the content of this meteorite record was deleted."

"Grandpa is a student of history, and he is very curious about this matter, how did a very large and heavy meteorite suddenly disappear? He wanted to solve the mystery. However, the information obtained by the grandfather was very limited, and he searched for a lot of information, but he did not find a clear record. Later, my grandfather went to the expert who was the first to compile the "Beihai Historical Chronicles". In short, grandpa has put in too much hard work and effort for this. ”

"At that time, my grandfather was still teaching at the university, so it was inconvenient to go out. It wasn't until my grandfather retired a few years ago that I had more time for myself. ”

"Later, I learned that my grandfather suspected that the missing meteorite was related to Tuoshan, and he went to Tuoshan to investigate. He has been there more than once. Grandpa's trip to Tuoshan has been hidden from me. It wasn't until the last time that my grandfather came back late that he told me that he had gone to Tuoshan..."

Speaking of this, Miao Ruolan's eyes turned red, "If I had known earlier that my grandfather was going to Tuoshan without me, I would definitely have stopped it, at least I would have accompanied him." In this case, maybe Grandpa would not have died suddenly. ”

Huo Long was stunned, "How did Grandpa die?" Is it related to going to Tuo Mountain? ”

"My grandfather has always been very tough, and in college, he often played basketball with students. In the year of retirement, I accompanied him for a physical examination, and my grandfather's physical indicators met the standards, and the doctor said at that time that my grandfather would never have a problem living to be 100 years old. However, after my grandfather came back from Tuoshan for the last time, I found that he was not in the right state, his eyes were red, he was very excited, and he talked a lot..."

"I didn't think much about it, I thought that grandpa went to Tuoshan to run back and forth all the way, first, he was too tired, and second, grandpa should have made a new discovery when he went to Tuoshan, so he was excited."

"But, half a month later, grandpa suddenly died. I remember that it was also a weekend, and when I went to visit my grandfather, I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. I had a bad premonition, so I quickly found someone to help open the door, and when I entered, I found my grandfather lying on the bed and stopped breathing. ”

"Grandpa died very strangely, quietly, and left so quietly..."

As she spoke, Miao Ruolan sobbed in a low voice.

Huo Long's heart was sad. That kind and amiable Grandpa Miao actually left like this, you can imagine how sad Miao Ruolan was at that time.

"When did Grandpa leave you the slate? Didn't he say anything else at the time? ”

"The day before my grandfather died, he called me out of the blue and asked me to come over. When I arrived at my grandfather's house, my grandfather took out a boxy thing wrapped in brown paper from a drawer, and he said that if one day, someone inquired about the whereabouts of the original version of the Beihai Historical Records, and he would give it to him..."

"I didn't understand what my grandfather was talking about, and when I asked again, my grandfather wouldn't say more, just said that everything was a matter of fate. That day, I happened to see Brother Long Long in the library looking for the original version of "Beihai Historical Chronicles", and I remembered my grandfather's instructions. ”

After listening to Miao Ruolan's narration, Huo Long asked, "Have you ever been to Tuoshan?" ”

"No, although I guess that my grandfather's sudden death should have something to do with Tuoshan, I would love to see it. However, after my grandfather handed over the things to me, he specifically told me not to go to Tuoshan. This is my grandfather's will, so I didn't go. ”

"Good thing you didn't go. There is no doubt that Grandpa's death is related to his going to Tuoshan. Huo Long muttered, "If my guess is correct, there should be an unknown danger in Tuoshan... Stuff. ”

Perhaps, the word "something" is not appropriate. However, Huo Long couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.

In any case, it is now certain that there should be an unknown and very dangerous element within the mountain.

Huo Long reached out and touched the pocket of his underwear, and the slate was hard there. He reminded himself that the slate had too many secrets and must be kept safe.

After completing the revenge and finding his sister and Uncle Xi Fangping, he must go to Tuoshan.

He had a hunch that the meteorite that disappeared 500 years ago was probably related to Tuoshan.

When the two of them were near the end of their meal, the waiter knocked on the door very politely and walked in, saying that Manager Jin, the person in charge of the Jinbang Auction House, and another strange guest had been standing outside for a while, and wanted to come in to toast a drink, but I don't know if it was convenient.

Huo Long said to Miao Ruolan, "Manager Jin is Jin Daya, you have seen it at the auction." I asked him to arrange this meal tonight. People want to come over to toast, if you think it's appropriate, I'll let him in, if it's not suitable, forget it. ”
