Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Unknown Ahead

The boss listened from the side, his eyes glaring at the boss. Just waited for Qin Yiheng to say that the filth was resolved, and immediately the tears almost fell.

I appeased him, and the boss calmed down. He said that he could sign the contract now and transfer the house to me.

I'm not in a hurry, to be honest, I'm not that interested in his house anymore.

And Markham Wing hasn't come back yet, so we don't know what else this house is going to be. For the sake of caution, I said that we will wait, anyway, we will not leave for a while, so there is no need to worry.

The boss didn't be polite anymore. Invited us to a meal that night at the most luxurious hotel in Chengdu. All that was said at the banquet was words of thanks.

As for me, I didn't take it seriously. After a few drinks, I went back to the hotel.

The owner opened a room for us in the best hotel in Chengdu and settled us completely before going back alone.

After all, we are really contributing, so this meal and the hotel are also at ease.

However, I always had Markham Wing on my mind, and I didn't sleep well that day.

When I woke up the next day, I felt like my whole head was foggy.

In the days that followed, there was basically nothing to recount.

It's nothing more than being taken by the boss, eating, drinking, and passing the time.

But I also thought about some things during this time, especially about this house.

I think the reason why Markham Wing didn't reveal that this house was related to the Yin River was mostly to prevent leaks and avoid being taken first before we arrived. That's why I chose this roundabout way, even though there are many uncertainties in this way. But at least it's relatively safe.

I exchanged my thoughts with Qin Yiheng. He agreed. But I was reminded again and again that I should try not to have preconceived notions. Maintaining a skeptical attitude at all times is the safest thing. Both for things and for people.

I don't know if Qin Yiheng's reminder means something, anyway, he can't ask anything. I just nodded my head.

We stayed in Chengdu for another four days, and the three of us was no different from a holiday.

It wasn't until early in the morning of the fifth day that the boss came to inform us that Markham had returned. Waiting for us right in the billiards hall.

On the way to the billiards hall, I was still a little apprehensive.

When I really saw Markham Wing sitting on the sofa, I was calm.

Markham Rong is still dressed in the same way, and it seems that he has not changed his clothes since he came back from Mohe. Except for the military coat is gone, a ragged shirt. I don't know where I've been.

We didn't say hello either, just nodded. Markham didn't say a word, motioning for us to sit down. One is focused on fiddling with what is in his hand.

I watched him quietly, but I didn't see that he was carrying a bag with him. I don't know if the oil lamp is on him.

Waiting for the owner of the billiard hall to pour us some water, we exited the door. Markham Rong looked at me with a smile and said, don't come to harm?

I shook my head and said that there was no deep hypocrisy between us. You're welcome and try to get straight to the point. You deliberately asked us to break this house?

You're tracking down too slowly. I can't stand it anymore, help you. Markham Rong turned his face to look at Qin Yiheng and said, especially Mr. Qin leading the team. It's hard to get up at speed.

I said don't play dumb riddles with us. How did you find out about this house? What do you want us to do when you want to wait for you? Where have you been?

I asked three questions in a row, but Markham didn't answer any of them. It's just that the answer is not so-called, aren't you looking for those people who wear hats? Well? Is it found in Wong Tai Sin?

I chuckled in my heart, it seems that this grandson is really spying on us. Wong Tai Sin's incident happened recently, and he got the news so quickly?

I thought to myself, but I didn't say anything. Fight with this kind of treacherous and cunning person. Obviously, Qin Yiheng or Bai Kai are more suitable than me.

So I didn't plan to talk anymore, and listened to the three of them with peace of mind.

I saw that Qin Yiheng's expression had not changed, and said very calmly, Yes. Are you ready to take us there?

Without waiting for Markham Rong to answer, Bai Kai took the first step and said, old boy, don't you have any conspiracy, right? Do you really think that our brother is as lacking in heart as Jiang Shuo? We'll run after you with a fart?

Markham touched the tattoo on his forehead, and suddenly put the thing he had been playing with on the coffee table.

I'm still very trustworthy. I promised someone to keep a secret for him. Wan Jinrong looked at Qin Yiheng and said, but you heard clearly, I just said that I am very trustworthy, not necessarily trustworthy. I want you to think about it. I found this key this time, but the key can only be used by Jiang Shuo. Especially Mr. Qin, you think about it.

After saying that, Markham Rong stopped talking. I saw that Qin Yiheng kept looking at the key on the coffee table and didn't say anything.

I had to ask Bai Kai quietly, alas, why does this grandson sound like he is threatening us? What is the key for?

Bai Kai quietly glanced at Qin Yiheng, damn it, where do I know. The key may also lack the heart eye, so you can make it. Xiao Que, I'm afraid you're the most heartless person in the world, so only you can do it.

I said damn you still have time to joke. After thinking about it, I suddenly understood what was coming.

Qin Yiheng had known Markham Wing before, and I am afraid that what Markham Rong said about keeping a secret was an agreement between him and Qin Yiheng. In this way, it must have something to do with the whole thing. I said in my heart, damn, it won't be on Lao Tzu again, right?

Just thinking about it, Qin Yiheng had already picked up the key.

I was so close to him that I could see it clearly. At first glance, the key is an old object, the kind that can only be seen sometimes in costume dramas. The surface of the key has a thick layer of patina. I can't see the original shape anymore. It is about the length of an adult's hand, and there are no hollow decorations or patterns on the key. It's just a piece of broken copper and iron, and there is no beauty at all.

After Qin Yiheng saw it, he gently put the key on the coffee table and lit a cigarette.

Until he finished smoking, he didn't speak again.

Seeing this, Bai Kai took the key, checked it in his hand, and suddenly asked, Old Kitty, the musty smell of this Yin River is so big, can't you smell it? Where the hell did this key come from?

Markham Wing said that the key was found by the Yin River. Now is not the time for you to ask me questions, but to ask yourselves. To go, or not to go?

Bai Kai wanted to speak again, but he didn't open his mouth yet. I heard Qin Yiheng suddenly say, go. When to go?

Bai Kai and I stopped talking when we saw this. Since Qin Yiheng said that he went, he must have thought about it. We don't have much to hesitate about. Frankly speaking, there was a time before when I was indeed very wary of Qin Yiheng, but after a few days, I found that I seemed to be overly worried. Anyway, sooner or later, this mystery will be revealed. Taking the initiative to find it yourself, and being taken by others, is just a process.

Good. Let's go now. Nothing to prepare. Everything that could be used, I'm ready. The car was waiting downstairs. Markham Wing stood up and picked up the key and said, "Oh, I heard that my yin frog was killed by you." Remember, you owe me one.

The three of them followed Markham downstairs, and sure enough, they saw two black off-road vehicles parked on the side of the road.

Markham opened the door of the car in front of him and motioned for us to enter. Rushing back and waving, the car started quickly.

The car seemed to have been deliberately arranged by him, and a lot of red silk was hung. I don't understand the mystery of this, and I can see all kinds of runes and tricks everywhere. It's like a Taoist temple.

Bai Kai snorted and said What do you mean? The car is gone, isn't it?

Markham Rong, who was sitting in the front row, laughed weirdly, oh, I forgot, you have to dress up before you go. Come on, put this on.

He turned around and threw us three hats, and I held them in my hands, feeling the sweat on my palms running out. It's that weird fur hat!

I saw that Bai Kai and Qin Yiheng were both wearing them, so I followed suit. Seeing my face in the rearview mirror, I don't know where it came from. I always felt that this face didn't feel like my own.

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly seemed to see myself in the rearview mirror and smiled weirdly.
