231: 152 Going to Die 231: 152 Going to Die Yun ng hesitated for a mont, then nodded slowly and said, “There is a secret chamber within the estate; after Luo Tiantai escaped back here, he has been hiding inside.”
Fang Zhixing felt a surge of elation but asked calmly, “Does he know I am here?”
Yun ng shook her head, “I haven’t had the chance to tell him.”
“Good!”
Fang Zhixing’s spirits were lifted, “Lead to the secret chamber.”
Yun ng nodded and stood up to walk out of the living room.
Fang Zhixing followed at an unhurried pace.
Seeing this, Xigou exclaid anxiously, “What are you doing?
Luo Keji only asked you to buy this villa; just buy it, why go looking for Luo Tiantai?”
Fang Zhixing’s lips tightened, and he said in a heavy tone, “Luo Tiantai is hiding in Yun ng Villa, do you think I can ignore him?”
Xigou continued, “You can act as if you don’t know, give this woman so money, and send her away—consider the task done.”
Fang Zhixing laughed derisively, “You’re really naïve.”
Xigou said angrily, “Have you considered what will happen after you find Luo Tiantai?”
Without waiting for Fang Zhixing to reply, Xigou began to reason it out on his own.
“The first possibility is that Luo Tiantai escapes from you, you fail in your task and will be severely punished;
the second possibility is that you capture Luo Tiantai and he is punished; he will definitely bear a grudge against you and will seek revenge when the opportunity arises.
The third possibility is that you and Luo Tiantai have a conflict, and he kills you.
The fourth possibility is you kill Luo Tiantai; by spilling the blood of soone from the Luo Family, they will certainly kill you to vent their anger.”
Xigou spoke vehently, warning sternly, “Use your head, Luo Tiantai is a hot potato, untouchable; whoever does, courts misfortune.”
Fang Zhixing grinned coldly, “Do you think I have a choice?”
Xigou was suddenly at a loss for words.
Fang Zhixing carefully explained, “When Luo Keji instructed to purchase Yun ng Villa, he was as sparing with his words as gold, saying nothing, but obviously, he had long since found out that this is Luo Tiantai’s hiding place.
He ordered here to take care of Luo Tiantai.”
Xigou said anxiously, “If you kill Luo Tiantai, Luo Keji will surely kill you.
That ans you can’t let Luo Tiantai escape; you must capture him alive.”
Fang Zhixing laughed bitterly, “Use your head too.
If Luo Keji wanted to capture Luo Tiantai alive, couldn’t he have co himself?
Why send and tell nothing in advance?”
Xigou held his breath.
Indeed, Luo Keji had just asked Fang Zhixing to co buy the villa, clearly adopting a stance of ‘I know nothing of the matter,’ ‘this has nothing to do with ’.
The implication was that, no matter what happened, it was all up to Fang Zhixing to take the bla!
“Damn it all!”
Xigou’s head was suddenly reeling, cursing, “Luo Keji is really a bastard, he’s pushing you into a pit of fire!”
Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and followed Yun ng to a pavilion.
As soon as Fang Zhixing entered, he imdiately slled a rich faint scent.
He walked around a screen, and what he saw before him was unexpectedly a woman’s boudoir.
Next to the window sat a ticulously carved mahogany dressing table, adorned with various kinds of jade combs and jewelry.
Below the red canopy was an exquisite and spacious bed, covered with soft silk quilts.
Yun ng walked behind the bed and pulled a red silk thread.
She explained, “At the end of this red silk thread is a bell, located in the secret chamber; as soon as I pull the bell, Luo Tiantai will open the secret chamber and let in.”
Fang Zhixing asked, “You can’t enter the secret chamber directly?”
Yun ng shook her head, “Luo Tiantai didn’t tell .”
Fang Zhixing quickly understood; it seed that Luo Tiantai didn’t fully trust Yun ng either.
Boom boom boom~
The next mont, the floor shook violently, the bed moved to reveal a half-open narrow entrance.
Fang Zhixing peered down and saw a staircase below the entrance.
Fang Zhixing gestured to Yun ng, “You go in first.”
Yun ng hesitated, then lifted her skirts and walked down.
Fang Zhixing followed closely, his masculine breath blowing on the back of Yun ng’s neck, causing a blush to spread across her cheeks.
“Yun ng…”
Suddenly, a languid voice sounded.
Fang Zhixing looked up and found that the staircase ended in a turn, leading into a long corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there lay a spacious secret chamber.
The secret chamber was well-furnished, with a bed, a wash basin, a sanitation channel, and food storage; all the necessities of life were available.
It seed, Luo Tiantai was planning to hide here for a long term.
At this mont, Luo Tiantai was sitting behind a desk, focused intently on a bamboo tube before him.
In his hand, he held a piece of wire, occasionally stirring inside the bamboo tube with it.
“Are you…
fighting crickets?”
Fang Zhixing was speechless, taking a closer look at Luo Tiantai, noting the man was tall and broad, standing well over one ter ninety, but his figure was out of shape, pot-bellied, with a lot of flab on his face and stomach.
From his complexion, it seed as if his body had been hollowed out by indulgence in wine and won, sowhat listless and languid.
Yun ng stopped at the entrance of the secret chamber, her head lowered, not daring to look at Luo Tiantai.
Fang Zhixing continued to walk forward, reaching the desk.
“Yun ng, I’m running out of tea leaves, get so new tea…”
Luo Tiantai was engrossed in his activity and didn’t lift his head while speaking.
Suddenly, he shot his head up, his gaze landing on Fang Zhixing, his face filled with imnse astonishnt.
“Who are you?!”
Luo Tiantai’s breath caught, and he glared at Yun ng, shouting, “Who is he, and why have you brought him to the secret chamber?”
