122: Chapter 122: The Secret 122: Chapter 122: The Secret Let’s not talk about Tang Chuxia dragging her brother to see their father’s tragic state, but rather about Gu Beihuai appearing at the leader’s house with a syringe, having soone test what exactly the drug inside the syringe was.
“Have you run into a thorny problem?”
Gu Beihuai glanced at his uncle’s bloodshot eyes and began, particularly lacking in empathy.
The leader gave him a look and took off his glasses, massaging the bridge of his nose.
“There’s still no news of Jin Haidong; Elder Jin and the others are about to go crazy.”
This issue originally had nothing to do with the leader, but unfortunately, he was also present at the ti and couldn’t protect everyone, which made him feel very disappointed.
Gu Beihuai, however, could understand.
Anyone in his place would find it hard to accept.
“How about we go catch the perpetrator?”
His suggestion stunned the leader.
The leader stood up hastily, “Do you know where the person is?”
Gu Beihuai shook his head.
“Tang Jianjun left a clue; soone will show themselves tonight!”
The leader couldn’t sit still anymore and had Gu Beihuai lead the way.
He didn’t make any conditions, and once the two of them got in the car, that’s when Gu Beihuai ntioned to the leader about the matters he and Tang Jianjun had talked about in the hospital before.
When Tang Chuxia had had an accident, they had collaborated to find those people, but because they were all resting at the ti, many thods could not be used, and they had to resort to so unconventional ans.
Quan City is an old city with all kinds of people.
Having grown up in this city, their family backgrounds provided them with plenty of conveniences and naturally made them acquainted with many special talents.
When it ca to gathering information, they always had their own channels.
“Do you an that capturing Jin Haidong wasn’t their ultimate goal?”
The leader was puzzled.
“But why capture him?” That was the point everyone couldn’t understand.
Elder Jin had said that it was Jin Haidong’s first ti making contact and it was impossible for him to have offended anyone.
Gu Beihuai scoffed.
“Because he was the safest!”
The leader was speechless.
It did seem to be the case.
Anyway, everyone’s speculations were confounded, which played into those people’s hands.
Seeing Wu Haipeng appearing before him, Gu Beihuai understood what was happening and couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you two playing at, speaking in riddles?”
Wu Haipeng was full of curiosity, clearly not understanding what kind of favor Tang Chuxia could ask from Gu Beihuai.
Even his uncle joined in with curiosity, “Yeah, aren’t you two always at odds?
I rember your great uncle saying that you and the Tang Family girl were like…
passionately at odds with each other?”
After picking up Wu Haipeng, the car headed toward the graveyard.
Gu Beihuai didn’t want to engage with the two in the car, but even the driver was all ears, wanting to catch up on the gossip.
“It’s not passionately at odds, those two are archenemies, definitely hell-bent on killing and sabotaging each other!” Wu Haipeng comnted with a sigh.
The uncle: …
Surely not?
Shouldn’t the first thing that cos to mind between a man and a woman be falling in love?
Why do these kids imdiately think of sabotaging each other?
Not to ntion the uncle’s puzzlent, even the driver nearly swerved into a ditch.
How could they not be curious about a woman who could match wits with Gu Beihuai, a man who gave their leader such a headache?
Unfortunately, Gu Beihuai was not being cooperative.
“Why so much nonsense?”
Gu Beihuai’s impatience garnered nothing but a dry chuckle from Wu Haipeng.
The uncle was also a gossip, and seeing that he couldn’t get anything out of them, he changed the subject to Bai Yingyue, “I heard that girl went to find you, where is she now?”
ntioning Bai Yingyue truly unleashed Wu Haipeng’s uncontainable excitent.
“I’m clear on that, I’ll tell the leader!”
He recounted the incident of Bai Yingyue going to the hospital and joining Tang Jianjun.
Cousin Uncle’s expression shattered.
Is that even possible?
The driver in the front clutched the steering wheel tightly to keep the car on course, a true testant to his willpower.
As for Gu Beihuai, he finally had a pang of conscience, “So, the one Bai Yingyue likes isn’t , it’s Tang Jianjun!”
Cousin Uncle gave him a look as if he’d seen a ghost, “Then shouldn’t you end your leave?”
Gu Beihuai waved his hands repeatedly in response, “It’s not necessary, boss, I’m looking forward to celebrating the New Year!
Besides, I’m a free man now, with so brothers dead, so crippled, and the rest still recovering from their injuries!”
Cousin Uncle didn’t press any further.
He too felt the pain, as he was also one of the instigators behind all that had happened.
Wu Haipeng quietly reminded, “Qin Zhan’s mother is having surgery tomorrow.
Should we go?”
Seeing the leader close his mouth, Gu Beihuai nodded, “We definitely should drop by!”
Cousin Uncle coughed lightly, “I’ll make a trip too, with the New Year approaching, it’s ti to pay a visit!”
Gu Beihuai couldn’t be bothered to watch him try to save face.
It wasn’t as if he was asking him.
It wasn’t until they were near the graveyard that soone stopped the car.
Getting out, they saw Tang Jianjun in a total ss.
“Do we have enough people?”
Tang Jianjun glanced at a military truck parked behind their vehicle, filled with n.
“Is the location confird?”
Tang Jianjun shook his head.
Wu Haipeng, rembering what Tang Chuxia had said about asking the Tomb Guardian, quickly interjected.
“We have the man under control, but the old guy is drunk!”
Tang Jianjun was helpless, but Gu Beihuai said, “I’ll go have a word!”
They saw Gu Beihuai approach the Tomb Guardian, who was reeking of alcohol, obviously too drunk to be aware of his surroundings.
He didn’t waste words, grabbed the Tomb Guardian’s leg, and started spinning him around, treating the man as if he were a sack.
So might question, can the old Tomb Guardian endure such treatnt?
The answer would definitely be no.
When Gu Beihuai let go and placed the man on the ground, the Tomb Guardian lay there, vomiting profusely, and then began cursing drunkenly.
However, Gu Beihuai simply pressed Cousin Uncle’s sidearm against the Tomb Guardian’s forehead.
The Tomb Guardian, who was previously as drunk as a lord and vomiting like a dog, imdiately sobered up and spilled everything.
He spilled the beans on everything asked.
As they were searching for soone, Wu Haipeng curiously asked Gu Beihuai why he knew such an effective trick, to which he replied with two words: “Secret!”
Wu Haipeng…
If Tang Jianbing were here, he would certainly have shouted:
Are you doing this on purpose?
One after another, all secrets.
Fortunately, Tang Jianbing wasn’t there.
Wu Haipeng, scratching his head in frustration, could get no answers and had to give up.
The Tomb Guardian stood by Old Lu’s tombstone, pointing fearfully at another tombstone nearby, “Turn the tombstone, and there’s an entrance below!”
Sure enough, upon verification, when they really found an entrance, Wu Haipeng and Tang Jianjun cursed in unison, suspecting that whoever ca up with this idea had a few screws loose.
Otherwise, they couldn’t have thought of doing such things here.
“Could this be what they an by, ‘the most dangerous place is the safest’?”
Wu Haipeng reasoned, but Tang Jianjun rebutted in annoyance, “What kind of dangerous place is this?
Nobody would think to co here.
Thankfully, they still had a shred of conscience and didn’t dig up Old Lu’s tomb!”
The Tomb Guardian, standing beside them, burped with alcohol, “What do you an they haven’t dug it up?
They’ve hollowed it out completely!”
Everybody: …
