Chapter 148: The Unexpected Truth

Speaking of which, even I began to doubt my own ability, it turned out that my opponent was neither Hu Bin nor Tang Yan, but a person who had been ignored by me from the beginning - Wu Honghong - who could believe that such a harmless "underage" girl would be a person who was extremely hidden, and she played with everyone in the palm of her hand.

If she hadn't come to her door now, I would have been kept in the dark.

"Lin Kun, I beg you, I know that all this is our Wu family's own fault, we want to get the elixir of life wholeheartedly, we are blinded by lard, and all mistakes are our fault, but my heart for you is true! Please trust me! ”

I stared at Wu Honghong's eyes for a long time, and it was difficult to calm down the inseparable feelings that swelled up in my heart, shackling my thoughts and affecting my decision.

The whole story starts before the fat man finds me. The Wu family, like Yuling, is a family of tomb protectors, and Wu Zunyou, who was brutally killed by Hu Bin, became the last tomb protector of this family. As Wu Honghong said, because the Wu family has been circulating a drug that can delay aging for generations, although this Wu Zunyou looks only in his eighties, his actual age is already 125 years old.

For humans, greed is the biggest terminal disease. Delaying aging did not make the descendants of the Wu family know how to cherish and be grateful, they were not satisfied with prolonging their lives, they began to frantically pursue immortality. For thousands of years, they never gave up searching, and their eyes finally fell on their "origin" - the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor. To be precise, it should be called the Tomb of Ying Zheng.

Because this is extremely risky and violates the ancestral teachings, even though the descendants of the Wu family have always been concerned about the elixir of life for thousands of years, no one dares to risk the world's condemnation to do this intolerable thing.

It wasn't until Wu Zunyou's two sons got married that human greed finally "broke out of the cage" and caused today's "sin". More than 100 years ago, in that turbulent era, human evil was infinitely magnified, and in order to survive, hungry refugees could sell their children, while the powerful could already make a fortune in the turmoil, eating people without spitting out bones. In addition to his eldest son Wu Tie, Wu Zunyou actually has a younger son named Wu Gang. It's just that there has never been this person's name on the Wu family's genealogy, and he has long ceased to be a mausoleum protector.

Although the medicine passed down from generation to generation by the Wu family can delay aging, it cannot live forever. Wu Gang was unwilling to nest in the deep mountains and old forests, so he left the Wu family in a fit of anger and took refuge in Lu Zuofu and Sun Chuanfang.

Although Wu Gang did not realize his long-cherished wish, he left a lot of wealth for his children after his death. Wu Gang's son is named Wu Guoliang, that is, Wu Honghong's grandfather, and is now the leading entrepreneur in Xi'an.

Wu Guoliang is a well-known entrepreneur in the eyes of the outside world, and he is also very modest, and the important thing is that he is still very young, and he looks like he is only in his fifties, but according to Wu Honghong, Wu Guoliang's real age is 85 years old, and the age of the public is 66 years old.

What's even more surprising is that Wu Honghong's age is 18 years old, but in fact, she is 45 years old.

This also confirmed my previous doubts about whether she was an adult.

Wu Guoliang is a legitimate businessman on the surface, but in reality, he runs a huge underground antiquities smuggling syndicate behind his back, and with his ancestral craftsmanship, his business is very large. In this way, he can come into contact with "peers" from all over the world, which naturally includes "Tufuzi" such as Zhang Liqun and Li Tairong.

Decades ago, after Li Tairong stole and excavated the ancient tomb of Lishan, Wu Guoliang noticed them. In the following decades, the whereabouts of Zhang Liqun and the descendants of the Li family were firmly grasped by him, during this period, some people have gone west, and some people have never forgotten and lingered, only he has always been in good spirits, deducing his plan step by step, perhaps, in the dark, he has already felt that these people will be used by him sooner or later.

The first chess piece that Wu Guoliang used was Zhang Liqun. Zhang Liqun, as the only surviving group of people in Li Tairong's tomb, was naturally chosen by history, and was naturally pushed to the front of his plan by Wu Guoliang. Wu Guoliang used his relationship to release a message to Zhang Liqun, rumoring that Li Tairong and the ancient tomb he discovered back then hid a shocking secret, which contained clues about the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

And this tomb of the Qin Emperor hides countless treasures.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Zhang Liqun naturally would not miss this opportunity to make a fortune, so he had already passed the year of ear shun, and happily found Hu Bin to discuss the treasure hunt. Zhang Liqun knew that after Li Tairong came out of the ancient tomb, he handed down a notebook and half a map, and these two things were in Zhao Zhen's hands, with this, Zhao Zhen was targeted by Hu Bin and became an important part of their plan.

Although Hu Bin's city government was very deep and very helpful in advancing Wu Guoliang's plan, it was still not enough to make Wu Guoliang feel confident and bold to implement the plan, and he always believed that relying on these people was not enough to achieve great things. So, he arranged for his granddaughter, Wu Honghong, to carry out Plan B for him.

Wu Honghong, by virtue of her identity as a giant businessman, is easy to get along with Tang Yan, Mo Beiying and others, and the reason why she chose Tang Yan is mainly for two reasons: on the one hand, it is the relationship between Tang Yan and Hu Bin, and it is an incompatible competitor, it is easy to provoke Tang Yan and Hu Bin to compete secretly, and when necessary, they are to replace Hu Bin's "spare tire", but on the more important side, it is because Chen Yina is very close to Tang Yan and others.

Their original plan was to develop Chen Yina into a pawn planted by Hu Bin's side, who could monitor Hu Bin's every move. However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Tang Yan found Guo Fatzi, and Guo Fatzi contacted me again, and I became a sudden variable in the Wu family's entire chess game.

From the very beginning, I encountered a difficult doubt: who leaked the news to Hu Bin that made Mo Beiying temporarily abandon the joint on the train? Now, Wu Honghong gave me an accurate answer.

It was Wu Honghong who conveyed the news to Hu Bin, and because she had a harmless face, everyone regarded her as a little girl who didn't understand the world, but who would have thought that she was actually a "young woman" for a long time.

Hu Bin used the "fruit fat man" to threaten me to get on her thief ship, but I unexpectedly "reunited" with Mo Beiying through Chen Yina, which seemed to be an accident, but in fact, it was all in the Wu family's calculations.

Hu Bin is a rare master. Even though we were rivals before, that doesn't affect my praise for him. If you have to say that the Wu family made mistakes in the whole game of chess, Hu Bin should be one of them.

Zhang Liqun thought that as long as he had Zhao Zhen and the notes in his hand, he would be able to find the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum smoothly, but with Hu Bin's old Chen's weight, he would never put the treasure on Zhao Zhen alone. In the ancient tomb of Lishan, she tested Zhao Zhen's reality and took the opportunity to touch my bottom. After that, she pretended to arrange for me to follow Zhao Zhen, deliberately leaving me enough space to investigate the "truth" I wanted to know. Even me, I fell into her trap. With the help of half of the map found in the Lishan Doubtful Tomb, I, along with Zhao Zhen and Yelu Qinghui, together with Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan and others, came to Mohe, that is, the "Tomb of the Marquis of Changxin".

During this period, the "confrontation" between me and Hu Bin has been described in detail before, so I will not repeat it. The reason why I say that Hu Bin is a rare "mistake" in all the plans of the Wu family is because, even they don't know that Hu Bin is actually a daughter.

Just when Hu Bin and Zhang Liqun's plans were advancing step by step, Wu Guoliang was not idle. Because in order to successfully find the tomb of Emperor Qin, that is, the tomb of Yingzheng, there are several necessary conditions: the tomb protector.

Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan naturally will not appear for no reason, Wu Guoliang's deployment is indispensable behind this, he let out the wind and said that someone was attacking the idea of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, which attracted Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan to join Hu Bin's team.

It is precisely because of Wu Guoliang that after we came out of Zhao Ji's tomb, we easily found Wu Zunyou. The appearance of Wu Zunyou made Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan no longer have a chance to stop Hu Bin.

At this point, Wu Guoliang's plan can be said to have succeeded.

In the process, I noticed very little suspiciousness. One is the accident when he first connected with Mo Beiying, and the second is the origin of Li Dongjie and Gao Yuhan, in addition, it is Wu Honghong herself.

To be honest, my biggest mistake was not to delve into my suspicions of Wu Honghong.

And Wu Honghong's biggest mistake was that she took the initiative to "expose" herself. I have summed up my life countless times, there are countless women in my life, and I have caused too many "peach blossoms", I have this fate, it is completely my own doing, so I do not blame it on the "red face and trouble".

Maybe I am naturally attracted to women, so that a woman like Wu Honghong, who already has rich life experience, will fall in love with me at first sight and take the initiative to give me a hug. It was precisely because of that experience in Gentle Township that I had a little doubt about her.

Suspicion is not fatal.

Fatal is her motives. Because of this relationship, I had to agree to go to the grave with her, and no matter how much I tried to persuade myself, she was just out of curiosity, but this obviously did not hold water, but I had no other evidence to prove that my suspicions were correct.

It was this extra eye I left that led to Wu Guoliang's plan falling through.

But it's too early to say he's gone.

Perhaps, he is enjoying the joy of victory at this moment, the coveted elixir is in his hands, or it has reached his belly, and the endless power is rejuvenating and radiating his skin that is no longer so tender, and every pore of his is enjoying this rebirth.

"Lin Kun, I promise, I swear that it's okay, what I said to you is all true." Wu Honghong grabbed my hand tightly and begged: "Can you help me, now only you can save my grandfather, as long as you can promise to save him, I will agree to whatever you want me to do!" ”

"Hong....." I wanted to call her Honghong, still like before, but when the words came to my lips and swallowed back, knowing Wu Honghong's real age, it was obvious that such a title was no longer appropriate, "What should I call you?" Aunt Hong? ”

"No, Honghong, I'm still your Honghong! I'm Honghong, I've always been Honghong, no matter how old I am, I'm Honghong! Wu Honghong tried her best to convince me that she was the same Wu Honghong I used to know.

"You still treat me as an eighteen-year-old, and treat me as the Wu Honghong who is not deeply involved in the world and doesn't understand anything, Lin Kun, I am sincere to you, I love you, I just love you too much, so I can't help but want to get close to you and be with you, you have to believe me, I lied to you, but my feelings for you are true, and this is not mixed with a little impurity."
