I was combing through my thoughts, when suddenly, the door of Tan Zhaoge opened, and the bald head and the man with sunglasses and masks walked out. I deduced that the person next to the bald head should be Tan Yaokun.

The two of them got into a black Mercedes sedan, and I quickly walked out of the building and reached out to stop a taxi. I got in the car and told the driver to keep up with the black Mercedes in front of me.

The taxi driver looked at me as he drove, "Young man, are you on a mission?" You're a cop, right? ”

I stared at the car in front of me and said perfunctorily, "Me? I'm a debt collector! ”

As soon as the taxi driver heard that I was a debt collector, he immediately opened up the conversation and scolded the person who did not pay the debt. It seems that this is also a taxi driver with a story.

The black Mercedes in front of it has been driving a long way, and according to the taxi driver, it is close to the western suburbs of Chengdu. At this time, a somewhat dilapidated village appeared in front of him, and the car in which the bald head and Tan Yaokun were riding stopped here. I hurriedly hailed the driver and stopped at a distance from them.

I saw that the bald head did not get out of the car, only two people accompanied Tan Yaokun into the village. I was hesitating to get out of the car when the car left. Seeing this, I quickly paid for the car and got out of the car. The taxi was about to turn around and leave when it suddenly stopped and waved at me mysteriously.

Curious, I leaned over and heard him say to me, "Hey, young man, this place I know is called Bazi Lane." As the name suggests, there are a lot of alleys in it, and you can take a detour in this direction. As he spoke, he pointed not far behind me. Then he winked at me.

I quickly thanked me and followed the direction the taxi driver told me to enter Bazi Lane. I thought back to what I had just seen, and felt my way along the alleys of the village.

After a while, I heard a voice not far ahead. There were probably three or two people talking, but they spoke the Sichuan dialect, and I could only understand part of it piecemeal. But intuitively, I felt like this was the person I was looking for.

I cautiously walked around a few houses again, and sure enough, I saw Tan Yaokun and the other two walking not far ahead.

I slowed down and followed the three of them, keeping a distance of about fifty meters in between. I originally thought that this would be foolproof, but as soon as I turned a corner, I saw Tan Yaokun in front of me suddenly stop. I was startled and quickly retreated to the wall to hide.

I quietly went out to check, only to find that Tan Yaokun had already walked forward with the two people again. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that what had just happened might have been an accident, so I followed again. But as soon as I walked a few steps, Tan Yaokun in front of me turned around suddenly.

I was a little panicked, and quickly retreated to the corner of the wall. In my hurry, I didn't stand on my feet, and my heel stumbled on the ground, and I fell to the ground. A stone on the ground was right on my back, and I was about to scream in pain, so I quickly covered my mouth with my hand.

I didn't care about the pain, and immediately rubbed my back and got up again, but when I looked forward again, I had lost the trace of Tan Yaokun and those two people, and I chased forward for a while, but I never found the shadow of the three of them again.

I couldn't help but muttered a little in my heart when I stood still, did Tan Yaokun have discovered me, if not, then how should his series of reactions just now be explained? But if I did, I wouldn't be in danger!

I didn't think I could stay here for long, so I quickly turned around and walked out of the village. As soon as I walked to the side of the road, a black Mercedes drove up from a distance, and I didn't expect the car to go back and forth. But it was an open field, and I couldn't avoid it, so I had to pretend that nothing had happened, and walked briskly to the other side of the road.

The car was parked at the entrance of the village, but no one got out. I don't know if anyone in the car noticed me. I didn't dare to turn my head to look, so I could only walk along the road with trepidation, paying attention to my surroundings as I went. After walking some distance, an empty taxi happened to pass by, so I immediately stopped it, jumped into the car and drove towards my place of residence. I kept looking behind me along the way, for fear someone would catch up.

When I returned to my hotel room, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I started to feel a wave of regret for my conceit, and I felt like a little mouse that became overwhelmed in front of a group of big cats. "Jianghu" is much more complicated than I imagined!

Compared to the rest of my faith a few days ago, I now have a feeling of powerlessness. But I'm not the ignorant novice I was back then, and now is not the time to retreat. From the beginning until now, I have wanted to do it one step at a time, without any plan. I think there should be something missing. I think back to all the things I've done since I arrived in Chengdu, not to mention one thing that reminds me of that......

Without further ado, I walked out of the hotel and took a taxi straight to Xiangxian Bridge. Sitting in the taxi, the discomfort in my body came up again, and I touched my forehead and it was slightly hot. I opened my eyes hard and beat my spirits.

When I got to the door, I called Ah Xi, who happened to be in the market. I did what he told and found him in a small store down the street on the first floor. Although his store is not big, his name is not small, and the three words Wanbao Zhai are engraved on the door plaque.

I pointed to the plaque and said to Ah Xi: "Your name is the same as Beijing's Wanbao Zhai, you are not afraid of people suing you, the name of Wanbao Zhai is still very important in this line!" ”

"Hey!" Ah Xi waved his hand, "People in Beijing Wanbao Zhai have a big business, how can they have time to care about my small shop!" ”

I nodded and walked in, looking around his shop, there were a lot of things, but there were real and fake, nothing good. I said, "I thought you were in the calligraphy and painting business on the second floor!" ”

Ah Xi smiled wryly, "I have a small plate, and occasionally I get two paintings, so I sell them with the help of the shop upstairs, and the kind of paintings that sell for me at most 1,800, and it is no problem to buy 18,000 on the second floor." As he spoke, Ah Xi got two cups of tea, "What is Brother Chengyang looking for me?" ”

When I saw that there was no one in his shop, I asked, "I just want to ask who sold you the painting I saw upstairs last time?" ”

Ah Xi listened to my words, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then bowed his head and said nothing. After a while, he looked up at me and said, "Brother Chengyang, you also know the rules of this industry, and I can't say where things come from." ”

I stared at Ah Xi for a while, although I had not been in contact with him for a long time, I believed that this man was definitely not such a person who obeyed the rules of death. It takes some bait to treat such a person, and although I don't have it on me at this time, I think I can ask Lantern Xiao for help.

"I'm going to make a call." After saying that, I got up and walked outside the store, and then dialed the number of Lantern Festival.

"Hey, Zhuoran, what have you been busy with these two days?" Lantern Xiao's voice came from the phone.

I didn't answer Lantern Xiao's words, but said straight to the point: "Dude, do you still have the turquoise that you brought back from the ruins of the 100,000 Great Mountains of the Netherworld last time?" ”

Lantern Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I brought a lot back last time." ”

I continued, "Lend me a piece and pay it back to you." ”
