A phone call made Zhang Muzi's mood go straight from hell to heaven.

After putting away the phone, he bent down, clenched his fists, forced himself to jump up with his hands and feet, hugged every pedestrian in the downtown warmly, and shouted hoarsely to vent his crazy mood of joy, and it took more than ten minutes to finally calm down.

And once he calmed down and his brain regained his ability to think, Zhang Muzi unconsciously recalled the entire kidnapping incident, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very strange.

First of all, when Li Linyu took revenge on Wang Zhenyu's family, who were both traitors to the so-called 'party-state' in his mind and Li Shansan, his actions were extremely neat, and it only took three or two days from the discovery of the target to the completion of the murder, but when it was Zhang Muzi's family's turn, the time dragged on to half a year later;

Secondly, judging from Li Linyu's brutal and professional methods of getting rid of the five members of the Wang family, it is really incredible that after kidnapping Zhang Hanmin and Li Xiangzhi, he did not succeed in destroying the mouth, but let the police sabotage the operation;

In addition, the most bizarre thing is that when Li Linqi sent someone to threaten Zhang Muzi to redeem his parents, he actually asked him to sign a series of asset transfer documents, instead of asking for a huge amount of cash and gold without any trouble, which is even more incomprehensible, unless... A thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Muzi's mind, and his overjoyed face suddenly darkened.

But no matter how annoyed he was at this time, it would be useless, he would sulk when he was angry, Zhang Muzi stood up helplessly, looked around, and walked into an 'Internet café' not far away, killing time.

Time flies, more than ten hours pass in a flash, and before you know it, it is early in the morning.

In the underground parking lot of a 50-story top-class apartment building with brilliant exterior lights in Qingtan Cave, the most noble commercial and residential area in the land capital of the Republic of China, several security guards in black suits were standing and dozing, and were suddenly awakened by a flickering light.

They tried their best to open their sleepy eyes, adjusted their standing posture, straightened their bodies, and made a spirited appearance, looking in the direction where the light came from, they saw a black extended Bentley (Bentley) RV, slowly driving into the parking lot and stopping in front of the elevator.

Seeing the license plate of the car, a person closest to the RV in the security hurriedly stepped forward, and the well-trained respectfully opened the co-pilot's door, smiled and showed eight teeth, bowed and said, "Mr. Charles, you are back." ”

"Yes, Li, we have a meeting today, so I'm coming back late, so I'm sorry to disturb your rest. A Western man about 190 centimeters tall, with a very strong body and gray hair, got out of the car and said with a smile.

He has a very authoritative temperament, looking like he has been in a high position for a long time, but the tone of his speech is very amiable.

The security guards were obviously accustomed to the kind attitude of the foreigners in front of them, which was very different from the other residents in the apartment, and they all laughed silently, while the Western man handed a bag of cardboard boxes in his hand to the security guard who helped him open the car door, and said in an unusually fluent Mandarin, "The pizza for supper is very easy to pack, so I brought you a few slices too."

You know, Lee, after living in China for so long, I feel that the best character I have learned is 'human touch', so please don't say no.

If the director blames you for this, let him go straight to me. ”

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Charles. Bao Quan took the bag and bowed again and again with sincere gratitude, and the Western man just smiled, patted him on the shoulder, walked into the elevator, and pressed his fingerprint on the floor sensor.

The car slowly closed, and in a moment after a temporary estrangement from the world, the peaceful and confident temperament of the Western man suddenly dissipated, with an anxious and tired expression on his face, and he took out a gray plastic-shell mobile phone with a one-time precharge cost from the pocket of his jacket and looked at it, and pressed the redial button several times in his hand, but he hesitated to let go.

Just as he hesitated, the elevator had risen directly to the best room on the top floor of the entire apartment building, with a panoramic view of most of Seoul's night view, and slowly opened the car door with a 'ding'.

After coming back to his senses, he staggered out of the elevator and looked at the bright moonlight sprinkled in several huge floor-to-ceiling windows against the wall. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a slow and logical male voice came from the darkness, "The backup power supply should not be able to use Charles, I think it is still the current environment, which is more suitable for our next conversation." ”

Hearing this unusually familiar tone, Charles's body stiffened, and after a long sigh of relief, he said in the direction where the voice came from: "Boss, good evening, I really didn't expect to meet you in this situation." ”

"Why, Charles, I trust you so much, why do you betray me?" the figure in the darkness asked in a low voice, ignoring Charles's greeting.

Charles did not answer the man's question, but said in a strange voice full of longing: "Boss, I am fifty-one years old, I have no wife or children, and I have devoted all my energy to taking care of Shenluo Island for twenty-one years, starting at the age of thirty.

It is I who have built 'Shenluo' from a backward farm into a modern appearance with an airport, a wharf and a ring road, it is like my child, I have been 'raised' little by little, and in the future, it will become the most pleasant tourist attraction in Asia, and become an island more famous than Xiangjiang and Tai O..."

"Then you can go and realize this idea, don't I trust you like my grandfather, and entrust you with everything about the future planning, construction, and trade of 'Shenluo'," the figure in the dark interrupted Charles's words and said angrily, "Why do you want to betray me!"

"As for trust, you really can't do better," Charles smiled, and said in a hoarse voice: "I originally planned to serve you wholeheartedly, but unfortunately you are too squandering, but in half a year, you have already spent the cash that Mr. Li has saved for his life, and began to draw the construction budget of 'Shenluo'.

Since then, I have realized that you and Mr. Li are fundamentally different, boss, he loves the fertile soil of 'Shenluo' as much as I do, and hopes that it will get better and better;

You don't have any feelings for Syenna Island, you just use it as your own 'cash machine', and one day you come across a suitable price, even if you sell it, it's not surprising..."

"Don't you think your association is too rich, Charles, I have explained to you again and again when I drew the budget for the construction of 'Shenluo', that I have encountered a special situation, a special situation," the figure in the shadows was enraged by Charles's reversal of black and white, and roared: "There is a temple on Shenluo Island that symbolizes my family's history, and the residents of the island are all believers in that temple.

I'll never sell it if I'm not crazy, even an idiot can think of that!"

"I'm sure you're telling the truth now, boss," Charles sighed, "but with a special case of the 'construction budget', there will be a second, third, fourth... Gradually the exception will become the rule, and if Shenluo is yours, it is likely that my dream will not be realized in my lifetime.

So when someone approached me in the hope of taking Silla Island away from you by some 'means', I was moved..."

"Sure enough," Hearing this, the figure in the darkness said coldly: "The reason why Li Linyan has not murdered our family for a long time is because I really have too much money.

In today's society, wealth is power, and he is afraid that I have any unknown protection measures, and he is afraid that if he acts rashly, it will backfire, so he waited until he successfully bought a traitor before he did anything to me..."

"It's not a bribe, it's a cooperation," Charles corrected softly, "Mr. Li Linyan is not qualified to buy me yet..."

"Stop playing this word game, Charles," Zhang Muzi stepped out in the darkness and interrupted his industrial manager expressionlessly under the moonlight, "Whether it's your employer or your companion, in short, Li Linyan is dead, and he died miserably, very miserably, and now it's your turn." ”

Hearing this, Charles didn't show a frightened expression on his face, and said unusually calmly: "Maybe you don't believe the boss, but such an ending has actually appeared in my expectation a long time ago."

Ever since you repeatedly told me to buy a 'Changeling Beast' at any cost, only to have no movement since the accident at the Spark Circus, I have felt that you are probably a little different from ordinary people.

After all, your ancestors created a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is only natural that you have some magical powers, and you have inherited this power from generation to generation, right?"

Zhang Muzi's heart was shocked, but he asked quietly on the surface: "I don't understand what you're talking about, but since you have a hunch that the ending may be tragic, why do you want to do such a thing?"

"Because sometimes in life, you have to work hard to achieve your ideals, don't you," Charles said with a smile, "but I really didn't intend to hurt your family."

Mr. Li Linqi and his subordinates, because they were listed by the 'Yuantai' police as suspects in a murder case that happened a few months ago, have been very careful in their recent actions, and it is inconvenient for them to kidnap your parents with their own hands, so they have to hire a few gangsters from the 'mainland', and I quietly bribed them in advance, so that they will never attack the hostages. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Muzi was slightly stunned, with a complicated look on his face, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and whispered, "But you didn't plan to let me live, did you, Charles." ”R1152
