Chapter 20: Transaction
"Aunt Pei what exactly are you trying to say?" I asked.
"What does a woman like me know? It's just a bit of nonsense. You just listen to it, okay little guy, remember, call Aunt Pei again I'm going to whack you with a big ear." Aunt Pei stood up. Twisting her waist like a water snake, she walked out.
Looking at her departing back, I could clearly feel that Aunt Pei was reminding me of something, of course, her reminder was more obviously what kind of purpose she wanted to achieve through me, but I realized that although I could understand what she meant, I only understood it, and there was no way for me to get started regarding the chaos within the Li family. Perhaps meeting that imprisoned Li Dangguo tomorrow morning would be a good breakthrough.
Maybe because Aunt Pei's incense does have a role, this night I slept extraordinarily sweet, only in the middle of the night, I once again dreamed of the woman I saw that night, she stood at the head of my bed and looked at me, I was unusually anxious and afraid, but I found that I could not wake up at all, this is more similar to a ghostly pressure on the bed, in the end, the woman glanced at me and then left, when I woke up the next day, I subconsciously Looked at my bed, the next moment, my whole person is not good.
Because on the ground, there are still very clear water stains. And I remember very clearly, because Aunt Pei seems to be a woman with a cleanliness fetish, so this room of mine yesterday when I was coming in was exceptionally clean, there would never be water stains on the ground.
Last night that wasn't a ghost pressing on the bed, but that woman with water stains all over her body really appeared at the head of my bed.
After I washed my face, I wiped the ground with a towel, a lot of things, I am too disoriented because now, I simply do not have the time much less the energy to solve the problem of Aunt Pei, Aunt Pei does not know that there is a female ghost in the yard of his own house? This beat me to death I wouldn't believe it. I wiped off the water stains because I didn't want her to know that this thing that appeared to be a female ghost had searched for me.
Soon after I got up, Fatty and He Qinghua came over, and after we ate something together on Aunt Pei's side, we didn't wait for Zhuge Qingfeng, but for a young man with glasses, who introduced himself as Mr. Zhuge and told him to come, and that Mr. Zhuge had already made arrangements for the things that he wanted to take us to do today, and that he would be able to take us to do them.
This fat man is very upset, think Zhuge Qingfeng is playing a big game, but this is also justifiable, yesterday in front of me and He Qinghua's face, the fat man a little bit of face did not give people to stay, people do not come today is also normal, this glasses man driving, all the way around, I am not familiar with the traffic situation in Beijing, and then to where I do not know, just then to the place that is connected to a few buildings are not yet completed rough houses.
When our car drove in, suddenly jumped out a few people, directly is holding a gun aimed at us, glasses man took out his documents and let them check it, and then let go, and then in a soldier dressed in the lead, we went up to one of the buildings, on the third floor, the man said: "Li Dangguo is locked up here."
We were about to go in, when the soldier said to me in embarrassment, "He said that he only sees a person named San Liang."
Fatty was immediately unhappy, and the soldier was quite upset, "Of course, you can go in together, but I suggest you go and meet him alone, this person's identity is sensitive and not easy to deal with, and if he doesn't say anything, there's nothing we can do about it."
The fat man did not say anything, looking for a window slow smoking went, that soldier helped me open the door, I walked into go, saw in this rough room Li Dangguo, long ago no longer a period of time ago I saw him the appearance of a male enhancement.
In the corner there is a small bed, the bed has a thin quilt, and Li Dangguo is wearing a not flush suit trips on it to rest his eyes.
"I'm coming." I said softly. Although I don't have any good feelings towards Li Dangguo, but I indirectly or even can be said to have directly caused the person's situation today also makes me feel embarrassed. He opened his eyes and looked at me with a haggard glance before straightening up and sitting up, pointing to a small stool next to his and saying, "Sit."
That distance wasn't safe, and if he were to lash out, I figured there wouldn't be any room to dodge.
"Scared?" He asked me with a smile.
I shook my head and went to sit down, because I found that the eyes he was looking at me with now didn't actually have too much resentment, but a completely different kind of eyes from the Li Dangguo I used to know, after I sat down, he touched his pockets, and then scratched his head and asked me, "Got any cigarettes?"
I took out a whole box and threw it directly over, he cozily smoked a child, a mouthful, almost a whole child, and then said to me, "Chen Jiuzou is not what I took."
I was instantly confused, heck Chen Jiuzou is not you took away what are you seeing me for?
"It is the White Lotus Sect, right should." He said slowly.
"You know the White Lotus Sect?" I was stunned at once, this name, shouldn't it be very taboo?
"How could I not know, Zhuo Anu, He Xiaoyu, are all people of the White Lotus Sect." He said.
Li Dangguo suddenly said this to me, it made me a little dizzy, because I felt that the matter of the White Lotus Sect should be a secret, especially He Xiaoyu and Zhuo Anu's identities, this Li Dangguo who I had always thought of as a fop how in the world did he know about it?
"What exactly are you trying to say?" I said as I looked at him.
He looked at me, suddenly laughed, laughed me a little panic, this son of a bitch, is suddenly developed what nerve? After laughing, he said to me, "I thought you knew everything, it seems you know nothing."
"I only want to know the whereabouts of Jiu Liang now. And a few of my friends." I said.
"Although I don't know why those people took them away, but I reckon it should be related to you, and also, what do you think the White Lotus Sect is a secret? Actually, it's a secret, but it's not a secret either, we all know there's a mysterious thread that seems to be holding sway, but it's elusive." Li Dangguo spoke almost a little incoherently.
I stood up, what the White Lotus Sect was I actually knew a little better than he did, I said, "If you still say that, then I'm leaving."
He laughed, "You're not leaving."
I was instantly a little angry, but really, I wouldn't leave, I really wouldn't.
"Don't worry, let's make a deal. Of course, you'll feel like who am I to make a deal with you? Then let me tell you my leverage first, on the White Lotus Sect's side, I have my own people, and right now I'm the only one who knows where those friends of yours, as well as your girlfriend, were taken by the White Lotus Sect's people." Li Dangguo said.
"Are you kidding me? There are your people in the White Lotus Sect?" I said, this, I do not believe, so mysterious White Lotus Sect, how can there be Li Dangguo's people, undercover there?
"You believe or not, do not believe, of course, I also understand why you do not believe, but if I am you, should think to understand, in fact, in the previous matter, I am helping you, otherwise, you think you and Fatty Liu, really can come to the Li family to spoil the Li family?" Li Dangguo asked me.
This point, made me silent, because before, I also felt fishy, the one who invited me over was the Li family, but the Li family had their own schemes, they could have not invited me at all.
"You mean, you invited me over to spoil your family's business, causing yourself to be locked up now? Are you stupid or am I?" I said.
"My old man left because he wanted to free the Li family from the White Lotus Sect's control, and I had the same idea as he did, rather than being someone else's puppet, I wanted to destroy him, now do you understand what I was thinking? The reason why I did this is also to get rid of the control of the White Lotus Sect that is like a maggot in the hock, and this White Lotus Sect controls more than just the Li family, the Li family is just one of them, this organization, there is a horror that you can't imagine at all." Li Dangguo said.
I waved my hand and said, "Don't scare me either, I'm not interested in either, well, you believe for the moment that you know the whereabouts of the Nine Twos, so, tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"Help me find my old man." Li Dangguo said.
