Gu Huizhi asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why did the news of your disappearance come from the Yuan Mansion? Kiyono, did you sneak out of the house? ”

Just as I was about to answer, Gu Huizhi's husband came in from outside and said to Gu Huizhi, "Someone from the Mu family has come to our house. ”

Gu Huizhi immediately stood up and asked in surprise, "What?" ”

Gu Huizhi's husband said, "I came to look for someone from our side." ”

We didn't expect it to be so soon, and it was only so long before someone came to Gu Hui's house to look for it, but I only had a few when I went out in China, presumably Gu Huizhi and You Feiran's house were the first to look for it, Gu Huizhi looked at me and asked, "Qingye, what are you going to do?" ”

I can't come forward now, the situation has not been explored at all, Tan Jun is obviously a trap, luring them in, before the situation is clear, my best place to go is to watch from the sidelines.

I picked up Xiao Yu'er and asked Gu Huizhi, "Is there a place to hide?" ”

Gu Huizhi's husband asked, "You don't want to go back to Mu's house?" ”

I said, "No, I have something to do." ”

Gu Huizhi said: "Since you don't go back, then I will take you to hide, and I will deal with the people of the Mu family for you." After that, I hugged Xiao Yu'er and followed Gu Huizhi out of the room, there is a special cellar in her yard, which is specially used to avoid the bombing, although Jinling City is peaceful now, in Gu Huizhi's words, if there is a sudden fight one day.

Both husband and wife have returned from abroad, so the cellar under the courtyard is designed to be extremely Westernized, with electric lights and sofas, tiles and carpets on the floor, and a hammock for people to rest, which is much cooler than the stuffy outside.

Gu Huizhi saw me looking, so he smiled and said: "My husband and I often come below, the temperature here is warm in winter and cool in summer, basically only the sound of footsteps above can be heard below, and I don't know that there is an air-raid shelter below, you can stay below with peace of mind, and I will go up to deal with it for you." ”

I said, "Thank you." ”

Gu Huizhi smiled and said, "How do we say thank you between us." Then she went up the ladder, and she gave me a few more words on it, and then covered the opening of the top with a lid.

After that, Gu Huizhi went to deal with the people who came to look for people from the Mu family outside, I sat here with Xiao Yu'er in my arms, and listened carefully to the sound outside, only to hear a few footsteps walking around above, the voice was a little blurry, and Xiao Yu'er and I watched with my eyes open.

For about four minutes, the footsteps quietly disappeared from above, and there was no movement anymore, and it took about another ten minutes for Gu Huizhi to come down from above and tell me that the Mu family had left.

I asked her how the people sent by the Mu family had inquired.

Gu Huizhi said: "They just asked me if you came to me, I said no, they said that if there is news, let me tell them, I naturally agreed to them, and they left after a while."

Gu Huizhi first hugged Xiao Yu'er to the top, and then dragged me up.

On that day, the entire Jinling City was on first-level alert to find people, and people could be seen searching on the street at any time, and the city gate was also heavily guarded.

Gu Huizhi told me not to go out today anyway, and to stay at home as much as possible, according to the current way of searching, I will definitely be found in less than an hour.

That whole day, after coming up from the cellar, I never went out again, but kept staying at home with Xiaoyu'er, and the next day Gu Huizhi and I were drinking tea in the house, and the maid she sent out to inquire about the news quickly ran back and said that the people who searched for me in the Mu family all went to Jizhou.

Gu Huizhi and I put down the teacup in our hands at the same time and asked, "Why did you go to Jizhou?" ”

The maid said: "There is news from the county order over there that they found you on the border of Jizhou this morning, and the Mu family has now sent someone to pick you up." ”

Gu Huizhi and I felt more and more strange, I am in Jinling City, how can there be me over there, at this moment I immediately realized a problem, and I asked the maid again: "Can anyone go to the Mu family?" Did you just send someone to pick it up? ”

The maid said: "This morning, there was news from the Jizhou County Order, and someone saw that Mr. Mu's car went out of the city early in the morning, saying that it was going in the direction of Jizhou, and it should be going there to pick you up." ”

Gu Huizhi also frowned and said, "What the hell is going on. ”

I already have a premonition that this may be Yuan Chengjun's transfer from the mountain, and now that he is firmly seated in the position of president, he has long been not afraid of anything, and it is naturally time to kick off the stepping stone under his feet.

Mu Jing went to Jizhou late, so today is the best time for Yuan Chengjun to do it with his grandfather and Huo Changfan?

I got up suddenly, Gu Huizhi was startled by my sudden movement and asked, "Qingye?" What happened to you? ”

I didn't dare to think about it, but I tried to restrain myself and said to Gu Huizhi: "I may have to go out." I thought about it and asked, "Can you lend me a car?" ”

Gu Huizhi said: "Now the whole city is looking for you, where are you going?" ”

I said, "Huizhi, don't worry about it for now, lend me a car." ”

She saw that my expression was so solemn, she didn't ask much, when even if she asked the maid to go to the driver to get the key, it didn't take long for her to hand over the key to me, I left Gu's house, and drove directly to Tan Jun's house, I got out of the car and went straight to Tan Jun's house, it was still the maid last time, as soon as she saw me coming, when she greeted me and wanted to talk to me happily, I directly pulled out a knife and crossed the maid's neck.

Her movements stiffened suddenly, and she looked at me with a stiff face and asked, "Miss, Miss...... My family is young, and the young master is not at home. ”

I sneered and said, "Call him and ask him to come back immediately, if he doesn't come back within ten minutes, I will kill you immediately." ”

The maid named Mingzhu was scared by the knife I put across her neck, her legs were weak, there was no small house in the house for the time being, only the two of us, she had no choice but to grope towards the phone and leaned over, she still didn't understand why I suddenly treated her like this, a snow-white little face, full of tears, sobbed and said: "Miss, but what did my young master offend you?" ”

I didn't expect her to talk so much nonsense and asked, "Don't you fight, do you?" ”

As soon as she touched my cold eyes, she immediately picked up the phone on the table, shook a string of numbers and went out, and Tan Jun's voice came from the other end of the phone in about a minute, and when Mingzhu wanted to speak, I snatched it directly from her hand and said to Tan Jun on the phone: "I'll give you ten minutes, ten minutes if you don't get home." The sharp one in my hand scratched back and forth twice on the girl's white face and said, "What will happen to your little girl, I can't promise you." ”

As soon as I finished saying this, there was a snap from Tan Jun's side, and the phone hung up instantly, exactly ten minutes, no more, no less, Tan Jun hurried back from outside.

That Mingzhu had been crying for two hours in fright by my knife, and when Tan Jun arrived in the hall, she still didn't dare to move, and only cried and shouted at Tan Jun: "Young Master! ”

When Tan Jun saw my knife lying between the girl's neck, he asked very calmly, "What do you want?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's simple, you should know what I want." I pinched the girl's face and said, "Whether this little face can continue to look as beautiful as a flower depends on how Manager Tan thinks about it." ”

Tan Jun looked at me with a calm eyebrow, his gaze fell on Mingzhu, for a long time, he said, "You let her go, she is just an irrelevant girl." ”

But the knife I put on Mingzhu's neck didn't move away, just looked at him with a smile and asked, "Manager Tan really didn't say anything?" ”

I used a little force, the tip of the knife just pressed on Mingzhu's delicate neck, Mingzhu cried more and more, I found that Tan Jun's eyes were cold little by little with the movement of my knife, at this time I can basically be extremely sure that Tan Jun was a conspiracy from the beginning, from the moment I unveiled the painting in Tan Jun's study, all of us entered a carefully woven trap.

Tan Jun stood there and asked with a faint smile: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, I said too much, and now I can't change any facts, instead of threatening me with a knife and using my maid, it is better to rush over to stop it now, maybe there is still a glimmer of life in the matter." ”

Tan Jun walked over to me step by step and said, "From the beginning, if you were calmer, you could see a little clue, but at that time you were too flustered, and you hurriedly covered up the painting after only half of it was opened. ”

I frowned and looked at Tan Jun, and he also looked at me and said, "In this world, who else can paint your portrait so beautifully." ”

My body staggered, and the knife across Mingzhu's neck fell off instantly, and Mingzhu immediately pushed me hard when he saw this, and the whole person rushed towards Tan Jun and threw himself into his arms.

Tan Jun hugged Mingzhu, looked at me standing there and said, "I'm done with everything I should say, if you still don't understand, then I have nothing to say." ”

Tan Jun ignored me and walked towards the backyard with the frightened Mingzhu in his arms, and my whole body fell to the chair.

When those gloomy winds came from all around me, I grabbed the armrest of the chair and staggered to my feet, and ran outside, and when I drove to the location of the Mu family's vault given by Tan Jun before, it was already too late, the outside was surrounded by Yuan Chengjun's soldiers, and the door of the vault seemed to have been bombarded, and it had been completely opened, I wanted to rush in directly, but who knew that it was directly surrounded by soldiers outside.

I said to the soldier: "Go and inform you President Yuan, just say that Lu Qingye has something to report!" ”

The soldier looked at me, and he recognized me, so he sent a soldier in, and soon a soldier came out of the vault and said, "The Ninth Master let her in." ”

The soldier gestured to the soldier guarding the door of the vault, and the soldiers on both sides opened the fence on both sides to let me in. I didn't stop, I quickly ran inside, and the facilities inside were unscathed, but the doors of those organs were wide open, and there were footprints of military boots on the ground, obviously the mechanisms inside were not forcibly opened by someone, but a special person was invited to unlock the mechanisms inside, so there was no trace of fighting and destruction here.

It was my first time in such a place, and to be honest, it was more appropriate to describe it as a tomb than a vault, with only a few dim lights around it, and a cold wind sweeping in from an unknown direction.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally walked to the hall of the vault, which was full of soldiers, and the soldiers guarded the entrance to the hall, and after they put me in, I found that it was empty, there was no so-called gold bar, Yuan Chengjun and my grandfather were in the front.

They should have just come in, and the surrounding soldiers looked around, and after checking, they walked over to Yuan Chengjun with torches to report.

Without exception, all sides were empty.

Yuan Chengjun immediately frowned and asked, "Can you see it clearly." ”

The soldier standing in front of him replied, "The rooms in the southeast and southwest are all open, and there is nothing. ”

Yuan Chengjun groaned for a long time, and suddenly kicked down at a person underground, the man screamed, the soldier held a gun at him, Yuan Chengjun snorted coldly and said: "Dead thing, teasing Lao Tzu to play?" ”

That person was a person in charge of Mu Jingchi's side, and after being kicked by Yuan Chengjun, he immediately lay on the ground and cried and begged for mercy: "President Yuan! Xiao I really don't dare to lie to you, this is indeed the Mu family's treasury Yes, after all the banks in Jinling City settled yesterday, the money was shipped in at the specified time. ”

The man looked around, and cried again, saying, "But the little one really doesn't know how all the gold bars were gone in the morning!" ”

The structure of the underground vault is very complex and layered, the whole hall is divided into three floors, and there is an office in the bottom corner of the hall, and some soldiers find a few office workers from it, and they directly escort the office staff out.

Yuan Chengjun stood there and watched, but the adjutant standing next to him looked at the two office workers, knowing that they were the people who managed the internal funds, so he asked them: "Where is the money?" ”

The managers lay on the ground and did not dare to speak, and the adjutant suddenly kicked at the person in the middle, who rolled over and lay on the ground.

The rest of the people were even more frightened, crying that they had come this morning to take over the shift, and that they really didn't know where all the money in the house had gone. Seeing that they didn't say anything, the adjutant picked up the gun and fired a shot at the final one without blinking in the eye.

This is an underground vault, so when a shot goes down, the echo is especially loud, and the person doesn't even have time to scream, and the whole person falls to the ground with wide eyes, bleeding like a torrent.

The lieutenant looked at the remaining two administrators, and just as they were pressing, the two exits that were held by the soldier's hands suddenly thudded, and two boulders were lowered from above.

The two boulders weighed thousands of pounds, and when they fell to the ground, the entire underground vault was shaking, and everyone did not stand firmly, some staggered, and even Yuan Chengjun was still supported by the adjutant on the side.

Yuan Chengjun wiped the dust off his face, and was about to order the soldiers to check the reason for the first time, when a very light chuckle suddenly came from the top of the hall of the vault, Yuan Chengjun was the first to hear it, he immediately looked up, I don't know when there was a person standing, the light was extremely dim, only a figure was swaying there, and then Mu Jingchi's voice came down from above and said: "I never thought that I would meet you in such a place today." ”

Then there was an extremely slight snapping sound above Mu Jingchi, the dim light above was on, and Mu Jingchi's figure appeared above, he was still wearing a white dress, standing above him lightly looking down on everyone below.

His gaze first fell on his grandfather, who was pushed by Song Yu to sit in a wheelchair, and after so many years, this was the first time that the two of them looked at each other so face-to-face.

Grandpa was quite calm, but the moment he saw Mu Jingchi, he suddenly held the armrest of the wheelchair with his hand, and he was about to stand up from the wheelchair almost in the next second, he was very excited, but fortunately, he was pressed there by Song Alcohol.

Regarding his grandfather's excitement, Mu Jingchi was very calm, but as if he was receiving an old friend who had not seen him for many years, he said with a humble smile: "Old Tan, I haven't seen you for many years, but your body is still healthy?" ”

Grandpa's voice was almost squeezed out of his chest, his cloudy eyes were full of naked hatred, he stared at Mu Jingchi, as if he was going to swallow him alive and said, "It's been more than ten years, I didn't expect us to be able to meet in such a place!" ”

Mu Jingchi stood above and said with a hint of regret in his voice: "Yes, even I didn't expect that I still have this blessing, standing here to meet you." ”

Yuan Chengjun didn't expect Mu Jingchi to suddenly appear in the vault, his face changed slightly, but soon, he looked at Mu Jingchi above with a smile and said, "Jingchi, why are you here?" Didn't you go to Jiju to pick up Kiyono? ”

As soon as Yuan Chengjun spoke, Mu Jingchi walked slowly downstairs, Steward Zhou followed him with a lamp, he stood in front of Yuan Chengjun, looked at a room of soldiers in the vault, and asked very puzzled: "Ninth Master...... This is? ”

Yuan Chengjun said with a smile: "This morning, I received a report that Mu's vault was robbed, so I brought people over to encircle and suppress it. ”

Mu Jingchi said: "Coincidentally, I also received it this morning, so I didn't go to Jizhou, I rushed here, I don't know if the ninth master has surrounded and suppressed the thief?" ”

He looked around the hall, I was hiding at the back, but I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to see me hiding behind the soldiers at a glance.

However, he didn't say anything, looked away again, continued to look at Yuan Chengjun and said, "Is there something that the Ninth Master wants here?" ”

Yuan Chengjun said: "How can there be what I want here." Yuan Chengjun said: "It's too late, but you have to count it well, if you lose something, you must tell me." ”

Yuan Chengjun looked around, he was going to take someone towards me after he finished speaking, but when he walked to the door, the stone had already blocked the exit, and the next second, Yuan Chengjun turned around and looked at Mu Jingchi again, although he spoke, Mu Jingchi understood what he meant, and said to Steward Zhou: "Let the ninth master go out." ”

Grandpa and Song Alcohol didn't expect that at this time, Yuan Chengjun would act as if nothing had happened and was ready to leave, and the adjutant next to Yuan Chengjun suddenly pointed the gun in his hand at Mu Jingchi.

When Yuan Chengjun saw it, he frowned and asked, "Adjutant Zhang, why are you doing this?" ”

Adjutant Zhang ignored Yuan Chengjun's words, but said to Mu Jingchi: "Mr. Mu, I advise you to take out the things you should take, otherwise no matter how much money you have, you will not be blessed, right?" ”

Yuan Chengjun's adjutant said extremely ugly, Yuan Chengjun glanced at him and scolded: "Put the gun down, Adjutant Zhang, how can Jing Chi be my uncle-in-law so rude." ”

The adjutant Zhang said: "Ninth Master, you treat him as an uncle, what does he treat you for?" Don't forget the hands and legs of the second master. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Chengjun saw that the adjutant Zhang didn't listen to his call, and hurriedly said to Mu Jingchi with a smile: "Jingchi's subordinates are not sensible, don't worry about him." He smiled and said, "Why don't you hand over what he wants, and I'll let him put down his gun, so that we all don't get hurt, what do you think?" ”

Mu Jingchi laughed softly when he heard Yuan Chengjun's words.

The adjutant Zhang saw that Mu Jingchi didn't react at all, his hand quietly pulled the trigger, and there was a tendency to shoot, but at the moment when he was about to deduct it, the smile on Yuan Chengjun's face sank, and he said: "Jingchi, you are a smart person, you should know what is most important to you, we are friends, or brothers-in-law, I really don't want to go to such a situation with you, I said, as long as you give him what Adjutant Zhang wants, then we both go out from here safe and sound, if you don't give it, If Adjutant Zhang does something, can I promise you anything? ”

At this time, all the soldiers present raised their guns towards Mu Jingchi, and hundreds of guns were all aimed at Mu Jingchi.

When Mu Jingchi saw this situation, the smile on the corner of his mouth also cooled, and he instructed Steward Zhou: "Give them the key." ”

But Steward Zhou didn't move, but frowned and called to Mu Jingchi: "Sir! ”

Mu Jingchi said again: "What? Don't want to get out alive? ”

It was very light and light, and it didn't even contain any emotion, under the pressure of Mu Jingchi's eyes, Steward Zhou had no choice but to take out a bunch of keys from his pocket.

Adjutant Zhang approached Steward Zhou little by little with a gun, and after arriving in front of him and taking the key in his hand, Mu Jingchi said: "There is also a Mu family's vault at the foot of the mountain five hundred meters away, and all the things here have been transferred to the place at the foot of the mountain, and the Ninth Master can find someone to check it." ”

Yuan Chengjun didn't expect Mu Jingchi to give it so easily, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew thicker, and he asked again: "How to get out." ”

Mu Jingchi ordered: "Old Zhou, open the door." ”

After hearing this, Lao Zhou could only walk towards a corner of the wall, and after touching a mechanism on the upper close, he only knocked lightly three times, and the two big stones blocking the exit slowly rose and fell again.

When Yuan Chengjun saw the door open, he instructed the soldiers: "Send someone to investigate." ”

The soldier replied, "Yes." Then he quickly left.

It was extremely quiet inside, no one spoke, Yuan Chengjun walked around the house with his hands behind his back, and for about half an hour, the soldier ran back and replied in his ear, and the smile on Yuan Chengjun's face was a little proud.

He said to Mu Jingchi: "I have always felt that Jingchi is a person who understands current affairs, and he is really not wrong at all. Yuan Chengjun waved his hand and said, "Withdraw." ”

So everyone walked outside, but before Yuan Chengjun could fully step out of the exit, he didn't know what his eyes saw outside the corridor of the exit, his body suddenly stopped, and he turned back to look at Mu Jingchi.

Mu Jingchi stood there and straightened his sleeves, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong with the ninth master?" ”

As soon as Mu Jingchi's words came out, Xie Dong's knife came in from the entrance first, and the tip of the knife was against Yuan Chengjun's Adam's apple, Yuan Chengjun stiffened his body and didn't dare to move at all, the soldiers around him reacted, and just when he wanted to pick up the gun and aim it at Xie Dong, another person appeared behind Xie Dong, and it turned out to be Yuan Lin who was held in front of him with a gun by Huo Changfan.

Yuan Chengjun's face changed suddenly, he glanced at Mu Jingchi for a while, and then at Huo Changfan who was holding Yuan Lin hostage, he stiffened his neck and asked, "Changfan, why are you doing this?" ”

Huo Changfan pushed the trembling Yuan Lin and kept walking forward, but Yuan Chengjun was stabbed by Xie Dong's knife and kept retreating.

Huo Changfan said to Yuan Chengjun: "Brother Yuan, why do you say this? You don't even know your own son, do you? ”

Yuan Chengjun's adjutant suddenly shouted outside: "Someone! Come on! ”

But his voice with a little fear continued to swirl in this basement, but there was not even a single figure.

Yuan Chengjun had already expected something, at that time he asked Huo Changfan to surround outside, and the time he came in was not short, thinking that the three hundred troops had already gone to the Netherworld before they even knew it.

He squinted at Huo Changfan and said, "Are you colluding with Mu Jingchi?" Yuan Chengjun immediately denied it and said, "No." He shook his head and said: "On the banks of the Jinling River, Pingzhou Prison, the arms were robbed, and Changchi was lost. ”

He seemed to understand something in an instant, and after looking back and forth between Huo Changfan and Mu Jingchi for a long time, he suddenly took out his gun and turned to Mu Jingchi inside and said, "You guys join forces to fool me!" You have been Huo Changfan's person from the beginning! ”

Regarding Yuan Chengjun's sudden realization, Mu Jingchi Yingying asked with a smile: "The Ninth Master has finally come to his senses, I think the Ninth Master has never doubted this aspect so far." ”

When Yuan Chengjun was about to move to detain me, who was standing on the side, Mu Jingchi's people were one step ahead of him, and they had already put a gun to my head at the same time, along with Song Yu and my grandfather.

Mu Jingchi asked coldly on the side: "What does the Ninth Master think is the difference between her and you now?" ”

Yuan Chengjun's body staggered a few times.

Mu Jingchi no longer looked at him, but his gaze fell behind me, and he sneered, with a coldness in his eyes that I had never seen before.

It was about to be very cold inside, Mu Jingchi coughed twice in a low voice, he put away the indifference on his face, returned to his usual lack of waves, and whispered to Steward Zhou: "Let's go." ”

Steward Zhou put on a cloak for Mu Jingchi, and when Mu Jingchi was about to leave this place, Huo Changfan asked in the back: "Don't you want people?" ”

Mu Jingchi's movements stopped slightly, although Huo Changfan did not ask him by name who he wanted, everyone present knew who he was asking.

Mu Jingchi didn't look back, but replied to Huo Changfan: "You can dispose of it, but leave Mr. Tan for me, they are all old acquaintances, I haven't seen them for more than ten years, I think there will be a lot to say." ”
