Chapter 1: The Invisible Man Behind Luxury (Part I)
The ivory white three-storey Spanish-style small house, the 300-meter super large viewing garden, and the octagonal pavilion are built on the Taihu Lake stone in the southeast direction, and the word "Dicui" is engraved on it.
I was standing on the balcony of the bedroom on the second floor, facing everything luxurious in front of me, I put my finger in my mouth again, and bit it hard, it hurt, I could actually feel the pain, which meant that I was not dreaming.
Baiyun's car drove into the courtyard, for some reason, this limited edition FY sports car actually drove into the parking lot with a double flash, the door opened upward, and a person walked down from the driver's seat, this person has sparse hair, but the hair color is black and shiny, and it looks carefully groomed.
Bai Yun got down from the co-pilot's seat and walked into the bungalow very respectfully with the man in a black tunic and sunglasses.
"Guan."
The voice of the white clouds came in from the doorway.
I was very impatient to open the door, my room was extremely luxurious, because all the door and window handles in this room were made of pure gold.
The oak floor is laid in three dimensions with the cross-section facing upwards, and walking on it gives you the natural feeling of standing on a high place.
I opened the door and leaned against the frame with a blank face, "What?" ”
"Someone came to see you." Bai Yun's eyebrows were raised, as if he knew in advance my reaction when I saw this person.
"Nope." I turned around and closed the door and walked back to the living room to sit on the couch.
Bai Yun opened the door and followed, he sat down in the chair opposite me, paused for a few seconds and continued: "You came back without a sound, and you were still making trouble in the bar, if I hadn't arrived in time, you would have made the headlines today." ”
I looked at him with disdain. The heart said that Lao Tzu should be in the illusion now, since it is an illusion. It means that none of this is true, since it is so. I don't have anything to worry about.
"Bai Yun, let's go."
Bai Yun was startled by me and looked at me inexplicably, "Where are you going?" ”
I pointed in the direction of the gate and said, "Didn't you say someone came to see me?" ”
Bai Yun sighed lightly, "You'd better be mentally prepared." ”
I smiled, and said in my heart that there is nothing to prepare, even if Lord Yama is here now, I am very calm.
Nod your head in understanding. Then I followed to the elevator, and when I waited for the elevator, I found that there were no stairs in this villa, and I came back in a hurry last night, and I didn't look carefully.
On the couch in the hall, a tall, thin man sat with his back to me, his waist straight, like a trained man.
"Elder Xu, Ah Guan is here."
I walked slowly to the front of the couch. At this time, the person who was called Xu Lao by Bai Yun also got up from the sofa, and after he took off his sunglasses, a pair of bright eyes were looking at me.
Bai Yun introduced: "Elder Xu. This is Mr. Guan. ”
I smiled and stretched out my hand to greet him politely, but I didn't expect that this old man not only did not react. And he sat down on the spot with a serious face, his hands on his knees. Look at me intriguingly.
I smiled a little awkwardly and sat down as well. Bai Yun stood behind me like a bodyguard, and then the servant of the villa handed over a box, Bai Yun put on white gloves and opened the box and turned around and put it in front of Xu Lao, and at this time Xu Lao actually looked at me and said, "We don't need a third person to know the content of our conversation, please ask Mr. Guan to clear the field." ”
I said: "What is Xu Lao taboo, the people in this villa are all my henchmen, even if you kick them out, after you leave, I will also inform them of the content of our conversation, in this case, the result will be the same." ”
Xu Lao took a sip of the teacup and said, "Then it has nothing to do with me, if Mr. Guan still thinks that the content of our conversation is known to a third person, then please take care of yourself." ”
Bai Yun glanced at me, I nodded at him, and after a minute, everyone in the villa was cleared out, and then the eighteen decorative faucets on the four walls were turned on, and the sound of gurgling water played a good role in sound insulation.
I looked at the faucets made of pure gold, and suddenly I thought of the ones in my shop, those faucets have been available in the shop under my plate, and I thought it was ugly at the time, and I almost had the workers dismantle them, and then I gave up because the cost of repairing the walls after the demolition was too expensive.
After clearing the scene, Xu Lao took out a very delicate sandalwood box from the leather bag he was carrying, and the pattern on the box was a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Xu Lao pushed the box to the middle of the coffee table, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, I didn't know what he meant, and I didn't understand what he was going to do, just looked at him stunned and smiled awkwardly.
"Boss Guan." When Xu Lao saw that I didn't move, he felt strange for a while.
"Huh?" I was a little stunned.
Xu Lao's face was a little bad, obviously he was unhappy, he looked at me, suddenly smiled, leaned on the cushion of the sofa, and said, "Boss Guan spent hundreds of millions of dollars to bid, isn't it just for this box?" Now that I brought the box, Boss Guan doesn't want it? ”
As soon as I heard it, I said something that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build a building.
Seeing Xu Lao's fingers move slightly, I knew that he meant to take back the box, so I immediately pressed my hand on the box and said, "Yes, why not, hundreds of millions." ”
Xu Lao smiled mysteriously, leaned forward slightly and slowly leaned back.
I suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Listening to the meaning of Xu Lao's words just now, you let out this box?" ”
Xu Lao's face immediately had a smile that made his back chill, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile, and said, "Have you forgotten what Boss Guan has done by himself?" ”
As soon as I heard that his tone was wrong, I said to myself, is there any inside story in this? So he asked, "What can I do, I can't kill people and set fires." ”
Xu Lao squinted his eyes and waved his hand, and said, "That's it, it's all in the past, I brought something, does Boss Guan want to break his promise?" ”
I was depressed in my heart, and I said that I don't know what my situation is now, looking at my hands, the tooth marks I gritted just now are still there, and this time is very different from the hallway illusion I encountered in the tomb the first two times.
I thought to myself, but my hand inadvertently touched my chest, and suddenly I felt a hard object on my chest, and I touched it carefully, and it turned out to be a hidden pocket in my shirt, and there was a copper key inside, very thin and light.
When I took out the key, Xu Lao's eyes lit up obviously, and his body involuntarily leaned forward, I held the key in the palm of my hand, and then took the box to myself, after opening the box, I saw a crumpled fragment of silk books in the brocade box.
Looking at this fragment of silk book, my heart thumped, and I looked at Xu Lao incredulously, and he was also looking at me strangely at the moment, as if he was waiting for my answer.
"It turns out that this brocade box is a silk book, Boss Guan, according to our previous agreement, I will help you get this brocade box, you have to share everything in this brocade box with me, the brocade box has been opened, and the silk book inside must have a great background."
I took the silk book out of the box, clutched it in my hand and shouted, "Baiyun." ”
Bai Yun heard my voice and immediately rushed in, and when he saw that nothing was wrong on our side, he slowly lowered the hand that was pressed on the gun on his waist.
"What's the matter?" He had a small voice.
I looked up at the crystal lamp directly above the hall and said, "What time is it today?" ”
Bai Yun looked at his watch and said, "January 1, 11." ”
"11 years." I said to myself, "Six years ago. ”
I stood up suddenly, put the silk book in my pocket, and then said to Xu Lao: "I will never break my promise to you, but before the information on the silk book is deciphered, I don't want a third person to know." ”
Xu Lao also stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay." ”
I couldn't take care of him, and seeing that there was no sign of delay in his promise, I immediately ordered Bai Yun to prepare the car. (To be continued.) )
