Lu Zhengping stood up with an angry face.

"Boy! What do you mean?! ”

Chu Ce said lightly: "The adult's daughter disappeared the day before, and I was arrested the day after, even if I want to investigate, it is just a matter of checking my whereabouts in the past few days, how can I go to the trouble of checking the itinerary of the past month one by one?" ”

Lu Zhengping's eyes showed a fierce look: "Since you are suspicious, I naturally need to investigate whether you have contact with suspicious people." ”

Chu Ce was noncommittal, and continued: "It has been nearly three days since I was imprisoned, and since the other party began to contact the adults on the second day, then I must have made a request by now, according to the previous logic, if the other party is a member of the Red Lotus Sect, he will naturally ask the adults to stop searching for them."

Then adults should be busy now, how can they have the leisure to pay attention to me? ”

Lu Zhengping was a little impatient by Chu Ce's words, and waved his hand: "Less nonsense!" I can't find the miscellaneous pieces of my Red Lotus Sect, and you are my only clue, who do I check if I don't check? Hurry up and write down your whereabouts clearly, or I will let you taste the methods of our yamen! ”

Chu Ce said lightly: "If I say that I can save the adult's daughter, then I will naturally know everything, but isn't the adult afraid that the other party will backtrack?" ”

When the words fell, Lu Zhengping's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Looks like you're determined to try my tricks!"

Lu Zhengping smiled evilly, pulled out his long knife, and pressed towards Chu Ce step by step.

But Chu Ce was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "My lord, if I guessed correctly, the other party should want you to ask about the whereabouts of a jade pendant, right?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengping's eyes froze: "You really know the inside story!" ”

Really!

Chu Ce secretly said in his heart that he had already figured everything out.

In fact, he should have realized that there was only one force that had the motive to do something to him, and that was the Chengde Commercial Bank!

The other party was unwilling to be subject to Chu Ce, after all, as long as Chu Ce was willing, he could wipe out the entire business bank's power in Heavenly Wolf City at any time!

It's just that he didn't expect that Chengde Commercial Bank would have something to do with the Red Lotus Sect!

But as long as you figure out this section, then the matter is very clear, the other party wants to recapture the jade pendant, but is afraid of being reported, so he plays this hand.

With the help of Lu Zhengping, Chu Ce was captured, so that his accomplices would not dare to act rashly, at this time, the Chengde Commercial Bank would have a lot of time to torture Chu Ce carefully, and as long as the jade pendant was found, Chu Ce could be wiped out unscrupulously!

Thinking about it, the other party didn't want to arouse Chu Ce's vigilance, so he investigated Chu Ce's movements through Lu Zhengping's side knocks.

Thinking of this, Chu Ce's heart suddenly increased with confidence, and he sneered: "Lord Lu, I don't know how much information the other party has revealed to you, but I can tell you for sure that this matter is very important, and the other party will never have a trace of luck!" It is impossible for them to let you get out of control, even if you really torture the whereabouts of the jade pendant, the other party will only continue to blackmail and make more excessive demands on you! ”

Lu Zhengping is not a fool, he naturally knows about this, but what can he do if his daughter is in the hands of others?

"Master Lu, I have a plan." At this time, Chu Ce spoke.

Lu Zhengping's face changed for a while, and he said in a deep voice after a while: "Say." ”

"It's easy." Chu Ce smiled slightly, but there was a fierce light in his eyes.

"Master Lu, please tell them that jade pendant-"

"I've ruined it a long time ago!"

......

Half a day later.

A familiar figure stepped into the cell.

"Steward Huang, we'll meet again." Chu Ce smiled.

And Huang Budu lost his previous amiable appearance, his little eyes flashed with a venomous light, he stared at Chu Ce, and snorted coldly: "Say, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hmph, you deliberately said that you destroyed the jade pendant, didn't you just want to lure me to meet you?"

Huang Budu's expression was gloomy: "Say, where did you hide the jade pendant?" Don't talk about it like before, we've already investigated, you've been in Heavenly Wolf City for three years, and you don't have any reliable friends! ”

Chu Ce smiled faintly: "If the steward is really so convinced, why bother to take this step and use Lord Lu's hand to imprison him?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Budu's face darkened even more: "I'm not here to talk nonsense with you, where is Yu Pei?" ”

Chu Ce said leisurely: "I want to know where the jade pendant is, but I have a question, that is, why do you not hesitate to turn your face with me to master the jade pendant, according to our previous agreement, I have no reason to break the contract." ”

Huang Budu replied stiffly: "This is the Lord's instructions." ”

Chu Ce's heart moved: "Lord? It's the god you Red Lotus Sect worships. ”

Huang Budu nodded slightly, unwilling to talk about it anymore, and said instead: "Okay, let's talk about it now." ”

Chu Ce smiled: "Naturally, you can, but I have one condition." ”

Huang Budu's eyes showed a fierce light: "You are not qualified to talk about conditions!" ”

Chu Ce was noncommittal, just looked behind Huang Budu, where a burly figure slowly appeared.

Huang Budu's face changed, and he said angrily: "Lu Zhengping? Don't you want your daughter's life! ”

Lu Zhengping smiled faintly: "Since you sent me to contact this kid, you must not have planned to let go of our father and daughter, after all, if I accidentally learn about the jade pendant, you can't afford the consequences!" ”

Huang Budu looked at the two, took a deep breath, and laughed instead of anger: "Okay!" Good! Good! ”

Then he sat down: "Say, what do you want?" ”

"It's simple."

Chu Ce stretched out a finger: "Exchange Xiaowei and Lord Lu's daughter back, and we will hand it over to you Jade Pendant." ”

Huang Budu smiled contemptuously, not bothering to reply at all.

This is something that no one can agree to!

Because no one can guarantee that Chu Ce and the others will not turn their faces immediately after receiving the hostage!

In fact, this is a dead end, because no one can protect Huang Budu from turning his face after receiving the jade pendant!

At this time, Chu Ce continued: "In exchange, Lord Lu and I will be your hostages!" ”

"Oh?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Budu finally became a little interested, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

The reason is also very simple, Chu Ce and Lu Zhengping are the kind of goods at first glance, who regard the lives of their relatives as more important than their own lives, and it is difficult not to ensure that the two of them fight with them.

Seeing this, Chu Ce spoke again: "Steward Huang, I know your worries, you are afraid that the two of us will regret it afterwards, and we will poke out the matter of the jade pendant even if the fish dies and the net is broken, right?"

I can understand that after all, your life is at stake, and you need to be careful, but I have the best of both worlds, which can perfectly solve this problem and completely dispel your suspicions. ”

"Huh?" Huang Budu didn't seem to believe it, after all, the situation in front of him was almost incomprehensible, both sides had the ability to completely destroy the other, and in this case, only by achieving a 100% mutual restraint relationship could a delicate balance be achieved.

But this restrictive relationship is too fragile, whether Huang Budu gets the jade pendant, or Chu Ce and the two take back their relatives, it will destroy this restrictive relationship, making the negotiation impossible at all!

Huang Budu was very curious about what else Chu Ce could say.

Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, Chu Ce breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely:

"The solution is simple, and that is—"

"Let me and Master Lu join the Red Lotus Sect!"
