Listening to this unpleasant music made me increasingly agitated.
The worst part is that the sound of the bell's melody decreases whenever I look in that direction even slightly.
It seems like it was made specifically for us to listen to.
Yiyi and I exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously took off walking in that direction.
When they arrived at the building entrance, the bell finally stopped ringing, and looking into the distance, they saw a familiar figure standing there.
It's Boss He!
This time, he wasn't floating in mid-air like before; he started wearing the same tattered clothes we first saw him in.
Her hair was also more disheveled than the previous times I saw her, and she had more wrinkles around her eyes.
He looks exactly like the old man we first met!
He held an old cell phone to his ear, his tone reassuring.
"Fatty, don't worry, things will definitely be alright with Xiao Yuan. I came here this time to settle things with them."
Wait for me to come back, you wait for me to come back. When I do, I'll grow the best sea cucumber. If one year isn't enough, we'll do it in two.
Let's get Xiao Yuan's illness treated in a bit!
You absolutely must stay calm in the hotel first, don't panic! Huh?
Xiao Yuan?
My heart skipped a beat. If he was concerned about Xiao Yuan's condition, then wasn't it Fatty Zhou who was calling him?
At this point, a considerable amount of time had passed, meaning that at least several years had gone by since Zhou Pang had a fiancée.
The fat man took over the hotel, got married, and had children...
So, Mr. He in front of us must be in his twilight years, like a candle flickering in the wind!
I was filled with amazement, even though the timeline was already messed up.
In his life, Mr. He actually did work in a low-level management position!
Before I could even think it through, Mr. He simply said a few words of comfort and hung up decisively.
After he hung up, I saw him stare blankly at his phone for a few seconds, then wipe the sweat from his face, his eyes showing a relieved yet slightly tense expression.
At this time, it was still Fatty Zhou who was in charge of the riverside hotel.
Mr. He came to the shallow level for only one reason!
Looking for Xiao Zhang!
During this time, he had no idea how Xiao Zhang died; he only knew that Xiao Zhang had disappeared!
How could these guys possibly tell him the whole story about Xiao Zhang's death?
Old Man He first looked up at the tall building in front of him, then straightened his clothes, gritted his teeth and walked forward.
Raise your hand and knock hard on the heavy iron door.
The thumping sound echoed, round and round, but there was no response from inside.
I looked at Mr. He's figure; compared to this massive office building, he seemed so frail.
He didn't have that imposing and mysterious feeling we had when we first met him.
Looking at the building again, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
This isn't an office space; it's more like a luxurious palace.
The exterior is entirely made of red marble, and each stone is polished until it shines.
Coupled with the scorching sun, it's even more blinding.
“Master, just look at the building, the tiles, the carvings, the patterns.”
I could tell that this building was very valuable!
The businesses that the guy helped run were shady, and they made a lot of money!
If only some of that money had been allocated to the west, Mr. He and Fatty Zhou wouldn't have been forced to close their inn and be bullied by the guests!
I could hear Lei Jijian cursing in my head.
Indeed, just a moment ago it was quite desolate, but now the road is perfectly smooth without a single crack, and there isn't even a single fallen leaf left.
Ironically, there were two stone lions, each as tall as a person, with very fine carvings at the entrance of the building.
But the lion is protecting a group of people who don't care about the lives of those at the bottom.
That's inhuman!
"These people..." Yi Yi clenched her fists in anger, her nails almost digging into her palms.
Looking down to the second and third floors, the curtains weren't fully drawn, and it seemed like there were some people drinking and chatting inside, and someone was even singing into a microphone.
I was even more incredulous.
"My master wants me to say, let's just charge in!"
Lei Jijian was speaking there.
Even so, I took a deep breath and suppressed the anger inside me. I couldn't act impulsively at this moment.
The reason why Fatty and Boss He were bullied and oppressed is because these people have tricks up their sleeves. I saw it all clearly when Xiao Zhang was robbed!
After hearing my explanation, the blue arcs on the Thunder Strike Sword subsided considerably.
But just as the wind from the lightning sword subsided a little, we heard a whooshing sound behind us.
It wasn't the sound of wind, but a heavy breathing sound, like that of a huge wild beast.
Each breath carried a sticky feeling, but with this first breath, I clearly felt someone exhale a mouthful of water vapor onto the back of my neck.
My hair stood on end.
"who!"
The girl, Yiyi, immediately became alert. We turned around abruptly, and I quickly gripped the lightning sword in my hand.
But there was no one behind it, only the long shadow cast by the building.
Besides that, the light reflected off the distant asphalt road was quite dazzling.
The sound of breathing seemed to be circling around us; it was right next to our ears, yet we couldn't see anything.
"Be careful! It's a sinister aura, and it's very close! It's not a living person!"
Lightning Sword quickly issued a warning.
"Playing tricks?"
I shouted, and the lightning arcs from my Thunderstrike Sword swept across the surrounding ground.
The asphalt road blocks were perfectly fine, but suddenly they were shattered into pieces and started flying everywhere, leaving several small dents in my road.
But at that moment, I heard a familiar voice.
"Don't attack! It's me!"
The voice seemed to be right next to my ear, but I couldn't recall its name.
Immediately afterwards, Yiyi also bent down, gathered energy in her hands, and then opened it in the form of an energy shield, the faint white light with a hint of pink illuminating the surroundings.
This time, however, the figure crashed to the ground with a thud.
A figure stumbled and fell out, raising a cloud of dust instantly!
"Cough cough cough..."
The man was enormous and was lying on the ground coughing violently.
Could he be a superficial person?
I was puzzled, and I didn't dare put down the lightning sword in my hand.
Seeing this, the big guy was moving slowly as if it was in a lot of pain, so I held up my lightning sword and slowly approached.
The blue light swept across the guy's face, and Yiyi and I screamed almost at the same time.
"Fatty Zhou!"
