Chapter 40: The Fat Man Goes Missing

I looked out the window and realized that I was completely unfamiliar with this place.

Although I am not from the capital, but I have been in this city for so many years, I dare not say that I know where every hutong is, and I have been there, but at least I know most of the places, because of this business, the customers are all over the country, all over the world, so I have also run through most of the boundaries of the capital.

It's a pity that I don't know this place in front of me, and it may be a bit far-fetched to say that this is an urban area, because I don't see a busy road, and there is no pedestrian street full of commercial facilities; But if you want to say that it is a suburbour, it is not like it, after all, the greenery here is really good, and everywhere reveals a feeling of petty bourgeoisie, which makes me feel that it is not simple.

Just now, the man asked me to get out of the car, I looked at the magnificent villa in front of me, and thought in my heart, if I want to say that the money to buy such a villa in the capital, it is an astronomical amount for me, and I don't dare to think about it at all.

"Where is this?" I asked the man curiously, and the man said a place, and I couldn't close my mouth in shock.

Due to the sensitivity of the boss's identity and the contents of our confidentiality agreement, I can't say where this is, but I can say that this is almost the most mysterious place in the entire capital, most people may only have heard of this place, but they definitely don't know where it is, and even if they know where it is, ordinary people can't get in.

This is this place, I never thought that I would be able to come here in my life, let alone such a situation.

I was the first to come, I waited for a while, and Li Yingxue's car arrived, but she obviously didn't have much interest in what this place was, just stared intently at the huge villa in front of her.

I looked at her a little strangely and asked her, "What do you feel?" ”

She wanted to say something, but swallowed again, shook her head and said, "Nothing. ”

After the two of us arrived, we waited for more than ten minutes, and the fat man's car did not arrive, so I asked the man to call and ask what was going on.

He said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the three of us are independent, we don't know each other, your friend may be a long detour, why don't you two go first?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, if he doesn't come, we won't go in, let's wait a while." ”

The man looked at his watch a little embarrassed and said, "We can wait forty minutes, and if your friend doesn't come after forty minutes, we must go first." ”

I nodded and said okay, thinking about forty minutes, even if the fat man came in a big circle, he should have arrived.

Who knows we've been waiting for forty minutes, and the fat man's car hasn't come yet!

I panicked at the time, how could it be, it was just a simple circle?!

I quickly called Pancake and told him about the situation and asked him to contact the driver quickly to see what was going on.

Pancake said: "Brother, I didn't arrange this matter, how could I interfere in such a confidential matter, this was all arranged by the boss himself." ”

As soon as I saw his attitude, my temper also came up: "You think clearly, the fat man is also your friend!" When you set up a stall at the gate of Liuli Factory, if he hadn't often taken care of your business, you would have survived until now?! ”

Pancake saw that I was angry and quickly said, "Brother! Brother, don't be angry, I really didn't arrange this, I'll make a few calls and see if I can find out the situation, but I can't guarantee it! ”

I hung up the phone angrily, and a thought suddenly popped up in my heart, could it be that the fat man was tied up by this mysterious boss behind him?!

The more I think about it, the more likely it is that I want us to get this done as soon as possible, and then take the fat man hostage! Used to blackmail us!

The person next to me kept urging me to hurry in, and Li Yingxue said, "Go in first, he should have an accident." ”

Her attitude made me very unhappy, although the fat man has nothing to do with her, but we have been together for so long, even a dog should know how to wagging its tail and barking twice, how can she talk like that?

I was angry and said, "No! I have to find him! ”

Li Yingxue looked at me strangely: "Chen Ming, do you have a choice?" You don't even know where he is, how do you find him? ”

Her calmness, or rather coldness, surprised me a little, and it was the first time I had noticed such a side to her personality.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she turned around and said, "If you don't go in, I'll go in by myself, besides, the fat man's business, you can't find it by yourself, ask No. 88 and let them check." ”

After she reminded me, I remembered that I was given two numbers at the beginning, one for pancakes, and the other for alternative water, representing the person who handed over to us at No. 88, so that they could help us check.

I told the man to wait a moment, then stepped aside and called another number.

The phone was quickly connected, and it was a lazy woman's voice: "What's the matter?" ”

I said anxiously, "That's right, today we will follow the previous agreement..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about things." The woman's voice was still very lazy, and I even wondered if she was listening to me.

"The fat man is missing!" I said.

"Got it, wait for the news."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly, which made me angry, and then dialed over to scold someone, but she never answered.

This made me angry enough, Li Yingxue was still over there to beckon me over, no way, I had to go in with her to see what was going on.

The man led us in, and as soon as I entered the main entrance of the villa, I realized that it was not at all like a typical rich villa.

The general rich villas, in order to show their identity, are always made of gold, and there are all kinds of expensive foreign paintings and the like, giving people a feeling of nouveau riche, although I envy people so rich, but I will never make my home look like this.

And the villa we are now in is obviously different from others, first of all, it is completely different visually, the whole here is dark, including the wallpaper on the wall, the wooden floor under the feet, and all kinds of furniture and appliances, all dark black and yellow, this color alone, it is very feeling, when the large area is presented in front of people, it is a solemn and luxurious sense that cannot be described in words, and it is very aura!

The man took us to the living room, sat us down on the couch and said, "You two, please take a seat, I'll go and ask for instructions first." ”

After Li Yingxue and I sat down, she kept looking at the direction of the second floor where the person went, while I looked around and looked at the various decorations in this villa.

I have to say that the owner of this villa is still very knowledgeable and has a tone, there are no paintings in this house, but all the words are the same color, and they are all ancient words, there is such a saying in the antique industry, painting is better than things, words are better than paintings.

That is to say, in the eyes of antique insiders, ancient paintings are more precious than antique things, and ancient characters are more precious than ancient paintings.

And the words hanging in this villa are all celebrity fonts, and there are even several, all of which are things that have been lost for a long time in folk circulation, I thought the rumors were true, but I didn't expect to see them here.

I was happy to see it, but I noticed a strange place, that is, in the place directly opposite the gate of the villa, there was a strange stove.

The stove is said to be an antique, and it is indeed an old object, but in my experience, the thing is like an old stove in the countryside, there is no collection value at all, it is estimated that it can be worth some money if it is sold directly, and it is completely different from other things that are expensive next to it, and I don't know what to buy such a thing for.

I looked at Li Yingxue and found that she was also looking at the stove, so I asked her, "Do you think it's strange too?" ”

She shook her head: "That thing, it's not for decoration. ”

I said, "It's not for decoration, it's all in the living room, it's obviously a valuable thing." ”

Li Yingxue sneered and said: "Not all the things in the house are for decoration, this stove is not an ordinary stove, its name is called the soul sucking furnace." ”
