After entering the inside and passing through an empty courtyard road, I felt what it means to be called a sea of people. The house where the ancient mother-in-law lives is the kind of Beijing courtyard house. There are seven interconnected houses, and there are two courtyards in total, and if you look at them from above, they look like one big and the other small.8

Looking at the large number of people, there are all kinds of dresses. Some are dressed in suits and leather shoes, dressed as merchants; others are plainly dressed, but their whole body exudes the majesty of the superior; Others are like fat people, like nouveau riche who made a fortune overnight.

In groups of three or five, you are next to me, and I am next to you, talking to each other. When you get inside, you know what it means to be noisy. It doesn't look like a birthday celebration at all, but like a business party.

I stopped at the side, my eyes wandering quickly in the crowd, trying to find the figure of the fat man. The hard work pays off, at that moment, my eyes suddenly fixed on the side of the right hand, the person wearing a black suit, with a big mouth open, and smiling, is none other than the fat man, to say that the fat man wears a suit is really a little handsome.

Once I had taken aim, I stepped forward with my feet in check. Before I could take a few steps, I was tapped on the shoulder by someone, and at first, I thought it was a lot of people, and someone accidentally touched me, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Immediately after that, I was tapped on the shoulder again, and the force was obviously much stronger than the last time.

I couldn't help frowning, who is this, teasing me again. Thinking of this, I immediately turned around, and saw a man with gray hair standing in front of me, who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old.

I don't know why, when the man saw my face, he was slightly stunned, his brows were wrinkled tighter than mine, and his eyebrows were raised upward, and his expression looked very tangled. I tried to remember in my head whether I had seen this person before, but no matter how I thought about it, I just didn't remember it at all.

The man looked at me and didn't speak, but his mouth kept making suspicious sounds, which made me feel uncomfortable, and the man's eyes seemed to be looking at an anomaly. It wasn't until I raised my foot and was about to move again that the man suddenly came to his senses, and said with a trace of guilt on his face: "I'm sorry, people are old, and it's easy to get distracted", the man's voice was very loud, and he took advantage of the gap in his speech, and his hand went straight to his pocket, and then he handed me a business card.

Presumably this man mistook me for someone, I took the business card in his hand a little at a loss, glanced at it lightly, and saw that it was written directly: Lumen Investment Co., Ltd., Chairman: Li Guoan.

Seeing this, I took the opportunity to glance at the badge on the man's body, which was the three big characters of Li Guoan. And Lumen Investment Co., Ltd., I have also heard, according to my father said before, this Lumen Investment Co., Ltd., is very famous in the country, is the majority shareholder of five listed companies, and also controls many other listed companies, strong financial strength, I have discussed with my father, the institute is directly privatized, so that my father will serve as the general manager of the newly established company, but then I don't know for what reason, was directly rejected by my father.

I was a little surprised to see a real person at this moment. "Did he want to talk to his father about privatizing the institute again?" I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart, my father hadn't even seen a figure at the moment, let alone contact.

Just as I was about to speak, the man named Li Guoan in front of me suddenly rang a bell in his arms, Li Guoan nodded apologetically to me, picked up the phone, and talked on the side, frowning from time to time. When I was idle, I looked at the place where the fat man stayed before, and there was still half a figure. In this way, I became not in a hurry, and my eyes fell unnaturally on Li Guoan in front of me.

Maybe it was something urgent, Li Guoan's lips moved very quickly, the index finger of his right hand protruded, and he pointed down habitually, presumably he habitually reprimanded people, and he had already developed a habit. The phone call lasted for almost five minutes, and then Li Guoan hung up the phone angrily. When he saw me, his face suddenly softened again, and he said without humility: "Little brother, just now I forgive Li for taking the liberty of mistaking you for another person."

I had long thought that this would happen, so I waved my hand indifferently and looked at the crowded figures around me, but it would take some time to find the fat man. As soon as I walked on the front foot, behind Li Guoan, a beautiful woman slowly walked over, standing beside Li Guoan, looking in the direction where I was gradually moving away, and whispered: "Dad, who made you so engrossed, it's the first time my daughter has seen your eyes so focused."

An old acquaintance~

……………

Shuttling through the sea of people, and then trying to find the fat man, it is like climbing to the sky. While secretly scolding Li Guoan for stirring up the situation, I thought in my heart where this fat man ran to wave again, wouldn't he have already left!

Thinking like this, I inexplicably felt as if there were a pair of eyes looking at me behind me. At first, I thought it was an illusion, but I didn't care. But when I got to the back, I felt cold behind me, and the feeling was really not ordinary, "Is it someone who is following me, or is there more than one at all" I told myself in my heart, and my body turned back violently, only to see a black shadow suddenly rushing into the distance.

Because there are not many people in that direction. The shadow wasn't slow at all, but it didn't just come out of my vision. I don't know why, I actually followed the black shadow, and without thinking too much, the whole person quickly followed.

As I saw that I was getting closer and closer to the black shadow, I was inexplicably led into a deserted, criss-crossing alley. I didn't know the terrain, so my speed slowed down, and the speed of the black shadow slowed down, surprisingly, just a distance from me, and every time I tried to catch up, the black shadow accelerated again.

After a long time, no matter how stupid I am, I understand, this black shadow clearly wants me to follow him. Thinking like this, I suddenly stopped, and the dark shadow in front of me really stopped.

Looking around at the surrounding terrain, I was surprised to find that after a long time, I was simply spinning in place, and dozens of meters away from it was clearly the residence of the ancient mother-in-law. I looked at the black shadow in front of me, and the black shadow waved at me defiantly, and then went straight to the side and disappeared into the vast night.

When I calmed down, I was awakened by a cold wind, and only then did I realize that the black shadow had been gone for several minutes. When I tried to walk forward, I suddenly realized that there was a way out on the left hand side, and a long road on the right hand side, with no end in sight.

Presumably out of curiosity, his feet unconsciously stepped towards the right sidewalk, and his steps accelerated unnaturally. Looking at the heavy walls on both sides, a sense of oppression inexplicably came at me. I let out a long sigh of relief, calming the restlessness and telling myself to calm down.

At the same time, a dim yellow light appeared in front of him, and the night was already foggy and dark, and it was a little strange in the haze. I inexplicably found that cold sweat was already overflowing in the palms of my hands, and my heart was beating faster than before, and all kinds of possibilities that could be seen in front of me kept flashing in my mind.

Call~

I let out a big breath of turbidity, and the whole person stood at the exit in a daze, but I didn't expect that the end of the corridor would lead to the back of the ancient mother-in-law's house. Directly in front of my gaze stood a huge tree, perhaps too old to look old, its twilight branches hanging down, almost kissing the ground. My gaze then quickly wandered back and forth around the tree, and I was surprised to find that the dim yellow light I had seen before was actually coming from the very center of the trunk, and I began to walk forward step by step.

When I approached the trees, I took advantage of the situation to move out against the staggered vines, and the sudden scene in front of me made me can't help but shout. A deep hole suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and bursts of white light came out of it.

In this place, there is such a cave, is there a different secret in it? I thought like this, and when I was hesitating whether to go in, I didn't know what was wrong, my center of gravity was unstable, and the vine I grabbed was even more "click", and it broke off directly, and my whole body fell into the hole uncontrollably.
