Chapter Thirty-Eight: Infiltration
"Fuck! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! β
In the Late Night City Lord's Mansion, the study room, which had never been used for serious purposes since ten years ago, was not at peace at this time.
Expensive antique porcelain shards were everywhere, Zhang Ning smashed the porcelain bowl in his hand fiercely, and took a breath: "Fuck, it's too much of a deception!"
This afternoon, less than 48 hours before his favorite son disappeared, Zhang Ning got the news of him - a piece of skin with a black mole.
Although his face was mutilated, he had been bitten by something like this, but with his familiarity, he still recognized at a glance that this cheek belonged to his son Zhang Huan.
Now that the face has become like this, the fate of the ring is obvious.
But this is not the reason why Zhang Ning is so angry - son, if it's gone, it's gone, and now he doesn't have only Zhang Huan's son, it's just that this son is the eldest son, and he has been with him long enough and is the most favored.
There is only one reason why Zhang Ning is so angry - respect.
Judging from this operation, he couldn't see that the local wealthy families had a trace of respect for him, most of them were perfunctory, and the only one who made some action was because someone was missing.
It's been almost five years since I came here, and nothing has been accomplished, all because these wealthy families are blocking and getting in the way in private.
Not to mention, if they were willing to donate money and people to build the road in Lupei County, it would have been widened a long time ago - isn't it just to expropriate the land at 1/3 of the market price?
Isn't it just asking them to relocate without compensation?
Don't want to make such a contribution?
When did the Red Cloud Empire get to this point? I don't have any authority at all!
With this group of insects, how can you govern the country well!
After getting angry, Zhang Ning thought about how to expand his interests to the greatest extent, and then a thought flashed in his mind - he could use this incident to explain that the law and order in Pei County was not good, and then asked the officials to expand the matter and make it serious, arrest a group of people, and severely punish a group of people.
That is, to make an extra income for yourself, and at the same time, you can also make the giants give in and slowly encroach through tentative transactions.
After all, a father who has lost his beloved son has the righteousness of letting Peijun usher in a better tomorrow, and no one wants to provoke him.
"Hmph, Huan'er, you died well! It's good to die!! β
Thinking of the wonders, Zhang Ning couldn't help but applaud and admire.
"What is it good to die?" A male voice that had never been heard before came from behind him.
Coldly and suddenly, he heard someone asking from the side, and Zhang Ning subconsciously replied: "Of course, it's good that you can make a lot of money - who?"
Halfway through the painting, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, Zhang Ning turned his head suddenly, but he didn't see anything, but put a cold finger on his neck: "If you don't want to die, don't speak and shout loudly, don't turn your head!"
"Strong, strong!" There was an obvious threat to his life, Zhang Lin panicked all of a sudden, and after a long while, he trembled and said, "I, I'm innocent!" β
"Innocent?" Obviously, this Zhang Ning has a lot of bad feelings, and when he met someone late at night, his first reaction was not to ask the purpose of the visitor, but to claim to be innocent, "I have no interest in caring whether you are innocent or not, and I am not seeking revenge for anyone who comes to you." β
Liu Tian didn't hide his intentions at all, and paused for a while and said: "I heard that Boss Zhang, the city lord of Zhang has a solid background, and he used to start from the antique industry, and there are many antiques related to the Lost Empire, can you let me take a look?"
"Good, good to say, good to say." Hearing that the person who came was not to seek revenge, Zhang Ning subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly cursed in his heart, who exposed his family background, how could some antiques attract such lawless fanatics, "The antiques are hidden in the secret room behind my study, I will take you to see the strong man." β
"Don't think about making some small actions, since I can come here silently, I can also let you die silently." Liu Tian let go of the hand that was completely controlling you, let Zhang Ning twist his body by himself, and warned, "I only came to ask for one thing, if not, I will leave immediately, as long as City Lord Zhang cooperates, it will not cause harm to youβafter all, I don't want to make too much trouble and be hunted down by the Red Cloud Empire." β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't say one, it's nine, ten is no problem!" Feeling that his body was under the domination of a man, he couldn't help himself at all, and Zhang Ning, who was well-informed, immediately knew that he had met a master, and quickly extinguished some of the careful thoughts in his heart that had not yet risen - it was not that there was no mechanism in the study, but in the face of this kind of super master who turned his head and did not act fast with him, it was difficult to cause too much damage, since the man was not a complete madman, but for money, it was not a big deal to cooperate, and it would be scraped back from the bottom in the future.
As soon as the thought was set, Zhang Ning didn't make any movements that might arouse suspicion, walked to the bookshelf in the study, picked up a few books, and said while adjusting the order of the shelves: "The secret room was hidden by me with a mechanism!" I'll go in with the strong man later, don't worry about the strong man, I won't run. β
"No, you don't." Liu Tian's voice followed him, as if it sounded in Zhang Ning's ears, "I'll be stunned later, and then I'll jam your body at the door, if there is any mechanism, then you will die the fastest." β
"No, it won't." Being cleverly given by Liu Tian's cold and ruthless words, Zhang Ning hurriedly waved his hand to speed up the progress in his hand, and when he put the last book in the place where it should be, with a slight sound, the bookshelf opened automatically, revealing the keyhole behind him, Zhang Ning took out a key from his arms and slowly opened it, but he was greeted by an antique mirror, which happened to reflect the faces of Zhang Ning and Liu Tian.
Oops, oops!
Zhang Ning sighed in his heart, when he was playing with this antique mirror the night before, he forgot to put it aside, but he didn't expect that it was such a big thing that was lurking in, Liu Tian would not even bring a veil, although he didn't know the person behind him, but the outline of his face was faintly still a little familiar.
"Strongman, this is my treasure room." Zhang Ning hurriedly closed his eyes, "It was too dazzling just now, I didn't see anything." β
"City Lord Zhang, your luck is really bad." Liu Tian didn't pay attention to Zhang Ning's explanation and sighed, "You know what? Many times the mistakes of the strong do not bear the consequences, but let the weak bear the consequences - and it just so happens that I am better than you. β
"It's as if you're better than the people."
"Save the ......" was not good, Zhang Ning was about to break the net, but suddenly felt a heavy blow to his neck, and the sound he wanted to make was also blocked in his throat, his body was weak, and he immediately fell to the ground.
No longer going to Zhang Ning's corpse, Liu Tian strode into this treasure room - on the way here, he considered whether to kill Zhang Ning, if nothing else, because he needed to use the death of a city lord to cause others to enter, and at the same time make Pei County carry out a severe crackdown to ensure the personal safety of his parents these days.
After all, from the previous contact with the second uncle, it can be seen that he does not think that the evaluation of the snake that can kill ten of him in his mouth is correct, and his combat effectiveness is still stuck in the previous fight with him.
But for the talented Liu Tian, the difference in combat effectiveness may be a world of difference in a moment, so the second uncle's preparation is very likely to be insufficient, in order to avoid accidents, then simply create a bigger accident to cover up.
It's just that considering Zhang Huan's death, maybe Zhang Ning also planned to raise his vigilance and invite others to enter, so Liu Tian finally handed it over to the Mandate of Heaven to be the referee.
And it is obvious that Zhang Ning's destiny is insufficient and unlucky......
