Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 116, Turn over the hole cards
The next day, everyone gathered next to the car, and no one said a word, waiting for me to make an idea.
I lit a cigarette, thought about it and said, "I'll go back to Shanghai alone, you continue to set off to Yuyang, and when you arrive in Yuyang, Lingqian will pick you up and take you to the ancient land of Longyuan." β
Last night, I made a total of two calls, one to Sha Lao and the other to Lingqian, and these two calls laid the foundation for what to do next.
"You're going back alone?" Xiyang asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's time to wrap it up. I can't leave my dad and the fat man alone, you go on the road as soon as possible and take the path, it will be more dangerous without me in your situation, but Bai Yan has the soul of an old monster in his body, and listening to him more should be able to avoid evil. When you arrive at Ling's house, you will be safe, and Lingqian will take care of you. You drive away, and I will find a way back to Shanghai by myself. β
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Xiyang beckoned the snow wolf's people and started to get into the car, Hao Tingyun lowered his head and said thank you to me and then got into the car, leaving only his mother standing next to the car.
"You changed your mind because of what I said yesterday?" She asked, looking at me.
I shook my head and said, "I'm not so naΓ―ve, I'm not a child anymore, things in Shanghai must be settled, rather than hiding in the ancient land of Longyuan or taking you back to deal with business, it's better to settle down with them completely." I'm not a scared person, and they shouldn't mess with me. β
"It's too dangerous for you to go back like this." She said with concern.
"Don't worry, I still have some hole cards in Shanghai, and I'll be fine. When you arrive at the Longyuan Ancient Land, you will hide in peace, and I will give you news when the matter here in Shanghai is resolved. Let's get in the car......" I motioned for her to get in the car, she hesitated for a moment and then got into the jeep, after starting, I looked at the two jeeps and drifted away, I touched and smoked, more than half an hour later, a car drove over, stopped in front of me, the window was lowered and the driver looked at me and asked, "Ba Xiaoshan?" β
"507's?" I asked rhetorically.
"Yes, let me pick you up, I'm a staff member of the nearby branch, get on the bus, I'll take you to the train station, the ticket has been bought, and I will arrange for you to leave for Shanghai immediately."
I nodded, and when I got into the car, I threw away my cigarette butt and drove the three cars back to back, as if driving towards heaven and hell.
It was drizzling in Shanghai, and the sky was a little gloomy. It was already a day later when I walked out of the train station, and I yawned a little tiredly, and saw several people approaching, and when they approached, they claimed to be 507 and arranged for me to get in the car and go to the base. Uncle Jia asked me with a face: "How did you convince Sha Lao?" β
"I told him that when the dust settled, I would be his successor, and that I would never go back this time."
When A heard this, he looked at me solemnly, and I seemed to be able to see an emotion called pity in the depths of his eyes, and he looked at me, as if he was pitying me, a person who was capable but could not help himself.
"We made a battle plan overnight, you can take a look." Jia Yi didn't say anything more, in fact, his eyes already said everything, I followed him into the office, there were many people standing inside, and they all seemed to be good hands in various groups under the command of Sha Lao of 507. But I didn't see the two groups at the beginning of Zero.
"The main stronghold of the Haotian family in Shanghai is here, and it is marked on the map. The staffing is basically based on Deadpool, among which our intelligence network found that they used several of the most powerful Deadpools in the headquarters, and also used a Deadpool from the Haotian family headquarters as a key training target, codenamed Peacock. Several other noteworthy Deadpools were all introduced. In terms of fighting, we made arrangements after receiving a call from Sha Lao, and we have sent the relevant notification to the Haotian family last night, hoping that they will release the hostages. But the response was relatively strong......"
"Refused?" I asked.
"It's reasonable, so now the Haotian family and the 507 Institute have entered a state of combat readiness. We can handle several other Deadpools, but this key Deadpool called Peacock needs you to deal with, because according to the manpower allocation, we are not very manpowered. In addition, there must be a lot of powerful disciples on Elder Qian's side, and they also need someone to deter them, we contacted a few sects in the hope that they can send masters to help, but due to the power of the Haotian family, few people responded......"
At this point, I said, "Don't worry, I still have my cards." β
Uncle Jia, who said this, was slightly stunned, looked at me strangely, and said, "There are still hole cards?" β
"You follow your battle plan, and I'll take care of the rest. When to get your hands on? I asked.
"It should be tomorrow night, and we have two days to prepare and refine the work. It's going to be a long battle, and the other side is too strong, and many of us may be killed, but that doesn't mean we're afraid, guys, I'm sure you won't be afraid! "Uncle Jia did the pre-war mobilization, and I walked outside the office, asked people to prepare a car, and sent me out of the base of the 507 Institute.
Clean streets, there are not too many pedestrians, after the car pulled over, I walked to the front of the chic house in front of me, the door number hung the words "Xu Fu", I pressed the doorbell, after a few rings, the housekeeper walked from the house, saw me smiled slightly, opened the iron door and made a gesture of inviting in, and then said: "The lord already knows that you are coming, and has prepared refreshments in the living room, please come in." β
Walking into the living room, it was really full of refreshments, and Mr. Xu was sitting at the table reading a book in a not so formal outfit, holding a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" in his hand. The butler took me in and said, "Master, Mr. Ba is here." β
Mr. Xu closed the book, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Sit down, have a cup of tea first." β
After sitting down, I didn't move the teacup or speak, in fact, the other party prepared the refreshments just because they knew I would come. And knowing that I will come, I naturally know why I came.
Mr. Xu is the biggest hole card I can use now!
"Want to get down to business first?" He asked.
I nodded, the smile on his face remained unchanged, he looked at me and said, "You provoked the Haotian family, of course, you are not wrong in this matter, and it is only right for you to bear the trouble caused by your mother." But at this point, there is no way to stop it on both sides, you want to save people and you don't want to make a deal, and the face of the Haotian family can't be put down. To be honest, if I don't make a move, you won't be able to take down the group of people from the Haotian family. Now you have good skills, but after all, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. β
"That's why I came to you, can you help me once?"
"It's okay to help, but only once, and only against one person. After the fact, you still owe me a favor, when I want you to pay it back, you can't shirk. "Speaking of which, the sadness on my face dissipated a little, Mr. Xu is willing to help, with his ability to stand on my side, my chances of winning are much greater!
But it was a little unexpected to deal with only one person, but it was better than turning me down.
"Then I'll thank you for being here." I arched my hand.
"When are you going to do it?" Mr. Xu took a sip of tea and asked.
"It should be tomorrow night."
"Okay, I'll be with you tomorrow night, and you let me help you take down whoever you want, but I'll only shoot at one person, not much, and there's no room for negotiation." He emphasized this sentence several times, and I understood the meaning of his words, and nodded solemnly.
"Actually, it's okay if you don't come to me, and the owner of Sanfu Tea House can help you settle this matter, but why don't you go to him?" After that, Mr. Xu asked me other questions.
"I also have my considerations, I can't use all my weapons at once, and I can only live by hiding one hand, you say yes." I raised the teacup in my hand and took a sip, it was a good red robe, very fragrant and pure.
"I won't stay any longer, I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow." I stood up to leave, he opened the "Zizhi Tongjian" and nodded at me to continue reading, and the housekeeper sent me out the door.
Standing outside the door, I finally have some confidence at this moment!
