Chapter 149 Mission Failed
Lu Jingheng's mother watched the show for a while and went home in a good mood. She didn't bother to care what happened to Chen Fengfei in the end.
The anger that had been pent up in her heart finally came out. It was fine if they looked down on her, but they dared to humiliate her. Did they think she was easy to bully? Her son was so capable, how could she, as a mother, be so bad?
The matter between Chen Fengfei and Hu Shuai lasted for a long time before they decided to let the two children get married.
It is not possible not to get married. No matter whether it is the man or the woman, their reputation will be ruined and it will be difficult to find a good family.
It’s better to combine two bad things into one good thing and just make do with it.
Chen Fengfei was very unwilling, but she also knew that there was no room for turning the situation around. She and Lu Jingheng probably had no chance in this life.
Since leaving that night, Lu Jingheng has never returned to the compound. He doesn't know anything about what happened between Chen Fengfei and Hu Shuai, and he is wholeheartedly keeping an eye on the Bai family.
Bai Yangfan's judgment was truly accurate. After a period of silence, the Bai family began to stir. Mule hid in the Bai family's basement, discussing with Mr. Bai the location of the true Tomb of King Li.
After repeated investigations, the two men suspected that the real Li Wang Tomb was in the hands of the Hua family, a secret guard. The Bai family was a public guard, and although they had the silver hairpin that could open the Li Wang Tomb, it was just a deception.
The silver hairpin opened the fake tomb of King Li. The things in the hands of the Bai family were almost useless. Even if they kept staring at the Bai family, they might not be able to find out where the real tomb of King Li was.
Mule was furious and slammed his hand on the table. "Damn it! I've been searching for so long, and all I found is a fake tomb. I have no idea where the Hua family ended up. How am I supposed to find them?"
There was no expression on Mr. Bai's thin face, his eyes rolling around as he considered whether or not to tell the descendant of the Zeng family what he knew.
If he didn't tell him, it would be very inconvenient for him to find him, because he found in an ancient book that the Hua family's secret guards were sent to survive elsewhere from the beginning.
That place belonged to the border of Li State in ancient times, but now it belongs to another country.
Mule is a foreigner, so going to that country to look for him might be faster than him. Currently, private departure from the country is not allowed.
After thinking for a long time, I still think it would be more convenient to send Mule to look for the descendants of the Hua family.
"Like the Bai family, the Hua family has a rule: every generation of Hua family men must have a man named Hua Zilong. I predict that they no longer live within the borders of China, but should be in the area surrounding the Elephant Country.
You and your people should search slowly. If you come across someone with this name, you should pay attention to it. As long as you are sincere, you should get results."
Mule's eyes lit up, a delighted smile appeared on his face, and he gave Mr. Bai a thumbs-up. "Old ginger is always wise. Mr. Bai! Thank you! As soon as I find out, I will send you a letter immediately. Now that the plan of action has been decided, we must act without delay. I need to leave the country as soon as possible. Have you made all the arrangements, Mr. Bai?"
Old Master Bai nodded slightly. His skinny hand picked up a pen, wrote a few words, and handed it to Mule: "Remember, if you find the person, you must interrogate him to see if he knows what happened between these words. If he is really a member of the Hua family, he will naturally tell you. If not, he will definitely know nothing."
Taking the note, Mule looked at the words written on it: "Bai family, Liu family, Hua family, Bai Feng, Liu Jiacun, Hua Zilong."
At first glance, these look like three surnames and three names. But only Mule knows that Mr. Bai deliberately wrote "Bai Feng" as "Bai Feng" and "Liu Jiacun" as "Liu Jiacun".
Anyone who knew about the Tomb of King Li would immediately notice that the information on the note was incorrect, and those who didn't would naturally not be able to tell. This was also a way to identify the Hua family. Anyone called Hua Zilong would probably know the origin of his name.
"Okay! I've kept it. As soon as I find it, I'll take it out to test him. When can I leave?" The mule really couldn't wait to leave here. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with in his Elephant Kingdom.
"I'll send someone to take you to the bus station tonight to take you out of Kyoto. You'll figure out the rest yourself. I've prepared letters of introduction and other things for you." Old Master Bai placed three letters of introduction in front of Mule. "Your name is Liu Jiacun, and you're going on a business trip out of town."
The mule was startled. He picked up the three letters of introduction and took a look. Sure enough, the name column on them said "Liu Jiacun", the reason was written as "business trip", and the time column said "return date is uncertain."
Looking at the letter of introduction, Mule smiled, put it away, and said respectfully to Mr. Bai: "Thank you!"
Two nights later, Mule left by car with the help of the Bai family.
As soon as the Bai family moved, Lu Jingheng knew about it and immediately took his men to follow them to a secluded place and began to arrest them.
Unexpectedly, the Bai family cooperated very well and offered no resistance at all. They were caught by Lu Jingheng's men like fools. After investigation, it turned out that one of them had a stomachache and needed to be taken to the hospital.
Lu Jingheng didn't believe it and sent someone to take him to the hospital. The doctor's examination concluded that he had appendicitis. Frowning slightly, he left someone to guard the hospital and returned to the Bai family's neighborhood to inquire about the people who were still watching there.
"Did you see anyone else from the Bai family come out?"
The person watching replied: "No, I was watching the whole time."
Lu Jingheng didn't believe it: "Did you leave in the middle?"
The man's face looked a little unnatural: "I just went to pee in the front, it took no more than three minutes."
Lu Jingheng, with a gloomy face, slapped his forehead and sat on the ground in frustration. He knew in his heart that all this time he had worked in vain.
The old man of the Bai family was indeed very shrewd. He first used a person with appendicitis to fool them, dazzle their eyes and divert their attention.
After their men had chased out, they let the mule leave as quickly as possible.
In the past, he didn't dare to conclude that Mule was related to the Bai family. Judging from his actions tonight, Mule must have been hiding in the Bai family since he escaped.
However, they fought several times but failed to succeed, which shows how scheming the Bai family is.
Waving feebly at the people watching him, Lu Jingheng sat down on the ground, looking exhausted: "Let's retreat! The mission has failed."
"Boss! I'm sorry! I went because I couldn't hold it in any longer."
"I don't blame you." Lu Jingheng lowered his head, feeling frustrated. "It's my fault. I made a mistake in judgment. Let's go! Notify the brothers to go back and rest and wait for orders."
"Yes!" The person watching rarely saw Lu Jingheng so depressed, so he sat on the ground with him and tried to comfort him, "Boss! A fox will always show its tail. Don't worry, let's play slowly."
