Chapter 147: The Moment
I didn't dare to answer Aunt Meng's words, and silently took a sip of mung bean syrup.
I always feel that after all these things, the relationship between us has become more and more delicate.
And Aunt Meng found out that I didn't answer her words, and she also looked a little lost, especially when she looked at the small iron box in the kitchen, which was still printed with Ding Shishi's name.
I don't know what Aunt Meng is thinking at this time.
In this cramped environment, suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, and a familiar figure came into view.
I saw that Ono came back, and the clothes on her body were scratched by a branch somewhere, and her face was not very good-looking.
Ono looked me in the eye the first moment he entered the door, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, could it be that everything about me was seen through by Ono?
"Ono, you're back, your mother made you mung bean syrup, come and drink some."
Ono piled his shoes on the shoe rack, his eyes never moved away from me, and he said lightly: "Don't drink, I'm not hungry." ”
"Where have you been? How did you get dirty, did you fall? ”
Aunt Meng was concerned, but I saw that Ono didn't speak and went back to the room alone, which made me feel a sense of crisis.
Aunt Meng called Ono twice, and when she saw that Ono didn't respond, she shrugged her shoulders with a wry smile: "Maybe I'm a little unhappy tonight." ”
"Aunt Meng, I'm done drinking, and I'll go back to rest."
"Uh-huh, go ahead."
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I hurriedly said goodbye to Aunt Meng and hurried to my room. The doubts and uneasiness in my heart kept rolling, and Ono's sudden return and her mysterious expression worried me.
Entering the room, I closed the door, leaned against the back, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down. What's going on here? Ono's attitude is to find out his identity? Or did she discover a subtle change between me and Aunt Meng?
Aunt Yume's gentle smile and Ono's piercing eyes kept coming to mind. I didn't know how to deal with the situation, and I was worried about whether Ono was in danger.
I decided to wait and see what happened for the time being, as long as the girl didn't take the initiative to ask, I should also avoid taking the initiative to talk about it, after all, the plan to deal with Hong Zhiyang was imminent. This is done to protect Ono.
At night, the room is flooded with soft moonlight, reflecting faint shadows dancing on the walls. The lighting exudes a warm atmosphere and envelops the room in a sense of tranquility. The breeze blows outside the window, gently swaying the curtains, bringing a slightly cool touch, as if it is the breeze of nature.
The bedding on the bed is quietly placed, twinkling with soft starlight, telling endless tenderness. The soft doll next to the pillow seems to be sleeping quietly, and its warmth accompanies the whole room. The night light emits a faint glow that shines like stars, giving the room a dreamy atmosphere.
In the dead of night, the door of my room was gently pushed open, and I could not sleep all night, not sleeping deeply, and opening my eyes with sleepy eyes. I saw Ono walk into my room, tiptoeing around looking for something.
What is this girl doing? This scene reminded me of the night I had the first day.
It's just that this time it's different, and the girl seems to be looking for something. Could it be that she's looking for evidence that I'm a rabbit? She actually doesn't know if she's a rabbit or not.
I suddenly remembered that after I left home tonight, I met Wang Yang on the other side of the mountain, and later changed clothes in a secret place.
Maybe Ono just followed me to the top of the hill, and finally found that I was nowhere to be seen, and I happened to meet a rabbit.
And from beginning to end, Ono didn't know who the person under the mask was!
I pretended not to know and went back to sleep.
Ono rummaged through my room, and finally paused in frustration, looking at me with mixed feelings. It was a long time before Ono left, and I rolled over and peeked out the door.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to hide the rabbit mask outside, so that I could be prepared.
"Alas, it's too dangerous, and if it goes on like this, it will be discovered sooner or later." I gradually sensed a potential danger that I couldn't go on like this.
Time was in the blink of an eye, and it was the next night.
At this time, the two forces in Tianjiang City finally had to sit down and negotiate, and both of them brought people with them. And Wang Yang and I were waiting outside early in the morning, waiting for tonight's good show.
Because to make sure that nothing goes wrong, the spy we arranged for this meeting has already put on a bug and entered the venue.
Wang Yang and I occupied a high point, and finally waited for this moment to come. Liang Wencong has been under surveillance for the past two days, and the slightest wind and grass has reached my ears, and I am not very worried.
It's just that when I came out tonight, I was a lot more cautious, for fear that Ono would follow me again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, Ono really sneaked out, but fortunately I was prepared, got in the car and made a few big turns, and finally left Ono behind.
Ono thumped his chest in anger and watched me leave.
"Brother Rabbit, do you believe that Liang Wencong will really help you?" On the top of the mountain, Wang Yang held a telescope and looked at the place where the negotiations were held, which was in a private club.
Surrounded by mountains, this private clubhouse has a particularly private pavilion and is built with a gazebo. The location was decided on an ad hoc basis, so apart from the internal members, few people knew about the location of tonight's negotiations.
I shook my head: "I'm not sure, but maybe that's exactly what we're looking for." Liang Wencong is a ghost who is afraid of death, he drank my medicine, he may do anything to betray Hong Zhiyang in order to survive. ”
Wang Yang nodded and understood what I meant: "I hope this catfish can create more chaos and make Hong Zhiyang fall into a predicament from which he can't extricate himself." ”
"Exactly." I smiled.
Soon, at nine o'clock in the evening, several luxury cars slowly drove into the manor, and the person who came down on it was the protagonist of tonight, Hong Zhiyang, who came over half an hour early, which shows how much attention is paid to this negotiation.
At the gates of the estate, the lights are brilliant and the towering pavilions twinkle in the night. Several luxury cars slowly stopped in front of the manor, the door opened, and Hong Zhiyang and his entourage walked out of the door.
Hong Zhiyang is dressed in a straight suit and has an extraordinary bearing, he is smiling and seems to be full of confidence. But I know that in the back of his mind, he was already nervous about tonight's negotiations.
Wang Yang and I lurked in the dark, watching Hong Zhiyang's arrival from afar. Seeing this, the security guards in the manor immediately greeted him and politely guided Hong Zhiyang into the manor.
Hong Zhiyang, a tyrant in Jiangcheng, this man who hides a knife in his smile.
Finally saw Hong Zhiyang's true face of Lushan, this man was tall and burly, and he always had an amiable smile on his face, giving people a kind feeling. However, behind this smile there is clearly an endless line of intrigue and conspiracy, and it is said that Hong Zhiyang is good at scheming and taking advantage of people's hearts, which makes him have an unrivaled position in the Tao.
His fat figure makes people mistakenly think that he is not good at hands, but in fact, it is said that Hong Zhiyang has an excellent kung fu, and his fist and foot kung fu is outstanding, and few people dare to face him head-on. He is good at hiding his strength, giving people the illusion that he is in a high place, which is exactly how he is good at waiting for an opportunity.
Hong Zhiyang made many subordinates on the Jiangcheng Road, and when he was young, he was able to attract talents with his charm and wisdom, and let the general people work hard for him. He knows how to manipulate people's hearts, control the direction of each chess piece, make them work for him, and unknowingly be firmly controlled by him.
But Hong Zhiyang is also 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, and now he is drunk all day long and obsessed with women, resulting in his fame not as good as before.
The estate was busy. From the outside, it was a big social event, and only we knew that the negotiations were a secret deal.
I picked up the binoculars and calmly observed Hong Zhiyang's every move, Hong Zhiyang also seemed to attach great importance to this negotiation, and the anxiety and tension revealed in his eyes could not be concealed.
Liang Wencong is also in the field at the moment, but what I am more interested in is the sturdy man next to Hong Zhiyang, Niu Tianba.
Niu Tianba, a fierce general full of rivers and lakes, is a capable general under Hong Zhiyang. This creature is tall and strong, like a raging bison, and is known for its bravery and skill.
In Jiangcheng, his reputation in the rivers and lakes is far and wide, and even the scorpion knows this person when he just comes to Jiangcheng. Countless people were terrified of him.
According to the investigation, Niu Tianba was a practitioner when he was young, and he was ruthless, and his moves were all for the purpose of being fatal. He once went to the meeting alone, fought his way out of the encirclement, broke the defense line of countless organizations, and established his prestige in the rivers and lakes. In the end, he was taken under the command of Hong Zhiyang.
Niu Tianba's murderous face is elusive. It seems to be informal, does not know how to endure, once someone provokes, never soft, never let go of the opponent's ruthlessness.
Although Niu Tianba is a fierce man, he shows absolute loyalty to Hong Zhiyang. I have no doubt that Niu Tianba is loyal to Hong Zhiyang, so I never thought of splashing Niu Tianba's dirty water from the beginning.
It is this kind of right-hand man.
Hong Zhiyang can become a banner in Jiangcheng, making Hong Zhiyang's power more inviolable, making many opponents fearful.
I was thinking about the next step, and the most important thing tonight was Liang Wencong's reversal. I'm not sure what the effect will be, but as long as it deepens the rift between the two sides, it's the best case.
As the minutes ticked by, the atmosphere in the hall grew tense. Negotiations are about to begin, and Hong Zhiyang's forces are waiting for Chen Fangtai's arrival.
At this moment, a dazzling light came from the gate, and a luxury car slowly drove into the manor. The car door opened, and Mrs. Chen Fangtai walked out with steady steps, wearing a noble Mao suit.
The entire manor suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Fangtai. Mrs. Chen seemed calm, but I knew that his heart was already turbulent.
Mrs. Chen, a treacherous and cunning thin old man on the road. He is short, but his eyes are sharp, making it feel as if he is being targeted. He is a shrewd businessman, cunning in his ways, never directly confronting people, and always adept at making secret arrangements to trap his opponents.
Chen Fang is too good at using stratagem and stratagem, and he can always find the most suitable countermeasures at critical moments. He is a very patient man who can wait a long time to achieve his goals, and he is also an unscrupulous person who can do whatever it takes to keep his position and interests.
It's just that I can't figure out how such a treacherous and cunning fox could give birth to a fool like Chen Shaokai.
Hong Zhiyang and Chen Fangtai are both leaders in Jiangcheng, and the competition between them is full of strategy and scheming. Although they maintain a cooperative relationship with each other on the surface, they have long been wary of each other in their hearts. They are all silently waiting for each other's every move, ready to deliver the fatal blow at the right time.
Unexpectedly, the original balance and waiting were broken by me, speeding up the whole process.
Although Hong Zhiyang and Chen Fangtai have not moved these days, the two sides are only in the tentative stage. But both of them probably know that only by acting cautiously can they survive this whirlpool of power schemes.
Hong Zhiyang and Chen Fangtai stood face to face in the hall of the manor, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Their eyes intertwined, like two beasts searching for each other's weaknesses.
In the end, the two of them hid their knives in their smiles and stepped forward to shake hands with a slight smile.
