Chapter 408 I am always better at taking advantage of others
Xu Yu lowered his head upon hearing the voice, and saw two sharp fangs on his wrist.
As long as Old Qi loosened his grip on the little green snake a little, the fangs would penetrate the skin and flesh, not only causing bleeding from all seven orifices, but it would also be difficult to save the entire body.
The situation seemed critical. Xu Yu glanced down, his expression unchanged, and he only raised an eyebrow: "How can you treat your savior so rudely?"
"benefactor?"
Old Qi sneered through his teeth and said disdainfully, "I only remember grudges and never remember favors. Besides, I don't need anyone to save my life."
"You dared to play the snake-luring trick in front of Bai Chengren. If I hadn't gone out just now, once he searched the carriage, you..."
"But didn't he come to search?"
Xu Yu acted as if he hadn't noticed the intimidating little green snake. He rubbed his wrist and said lazily, "You don't want to die as much as you say, so why bother?"
"Now that you're here, why don't you put that thing down before we talk? It looks creepy like this."
Xu Yu kept saying that he was scared, but in fact he didn't show any fear at all.
Old Qi was so angry that he snorted. The little green snake's mouth closed, and then Old Qi's impatient voice sounded: "What do you want to do?"
"Before, on the mountain, I spared your life for that girl's sake. Don't you know what it means to stop when you've had enough?"
"I don't know when to stop. I'm better at pushing things further."
Xu Yu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain with his fingertips and peeked out through the gap. He said lightly, "Where did you and Bai Chengren agree to go?"
Old Qi was so angry that he laughed and sneered, "What does it have to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me, but you'd better stay in Ancheng and don't move."
Xu Yu glanced at the gloomy old man Qi and said subtly, "If you want to see your daughter, just stay in Ancheng obediently, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the originally calm Qi Lao's eyes suddenly narrowed. He suddenly raised his head and a startling hatred burst out of his eyes: "You..."
"Except for Bai Chengren, who is watching you closely right now, and your cruel and insane cheap son-in-law, no one wants to do anything to your daughter."
Xu Yu leaned against the car wall, unable to hide his mocking expression. He stared directly into Qi Lao's bloodshot eyes and spoke each word clearly: "We've figured out your daughter's whereabouts, and her rescuers are on the way. But if Bai Chengren and the others get there in time, it's hard to say for sure."
Xu Yu was aroused by some unknown curiosity.
The premise of satisfying curiosity does not require excessive cost.
If Mr. Qi doesn't cooperate, then he doesn't care whether he lives or dies, he is too lazy to get involved.
Empty words are hard to believe, but Mr. Qi stared at Xu Yu for a long time and could not raise any doubts.
There was no need for Xu Yu to take such a big risk to deceive him.
Mr. Qi narrowed his eyes in an ambiguous manner and said in a deep voice, "What do you want from me?"
"Talking to smart people really saves effort."
Xu Yu smiled and pointed at the people outside, saying, "Whatever Bai Chengren fears, I want to get."
"But I'm different from Bai Chengren."
Seeing that Qi Lao finally gave him a straight look, Xu Yu made no secret of his purpose and said frankly: "Once Bai Chengren's fear is gone, he will kill me at all costs. I won't do that."
"Do you want to live? Live with your daughter, live to see your enemies go to hell, live to see the past settled?"
"live?"
Old Qi looked at Xu Yu with a look of sarcasm and said, "You know I..."
"Qi Jie, the owner of Qianyuan Villa."
"I will destroy the Qianyuan Villa in Longmai until my death."
Xu Yu curled his lips slightly as Qi Lao's gaze gradually changed color. He jokingly said, "Is Huwei Mountain really the dragon vein you've been searching for for so many years? This opportunity is rare. Did you succeed this time?"
Old Qi has seen many people whose expressions change immediately when they hear the name Qianyuan Villa. Some are afraid, some are wary, some are disdainful, and some even laugh at them.
But this was the first time I had seen Xu Yu react like this.
There was no excessive judgment, as if he was genuinely just curious. I couldn't hear any emotion, and it seemed more like he was just teasing.
In Xu Yu's mouth, exploding dragon veins and ruining a country's fortune didn't seem to be a rare thing. He talked about it as casually as what he had eaten today.
Qi Lao's eyes were complicated, and he was about to smile or not: "Who are you?"
Xu Yu did not answer but asked, "Is it important?"
"I don't think it's important."
The more Xu Yu thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed that destroying a nation's destiny by exploding a dragon vein was. His face twitched as he said slowly, "Why don't you just do as I say?"
"It's a matter of mutual fulfillment, both of us willingly. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
After Xu Yu finished speaking, he waited calmly for Mr. Qi to make a decision.
Fortunately, Mr. Qi didn't intend to let him wait too long.
Old Qi gave him a gloomy look and said, "Once we get to Ancheng, I'll try to delay the time."
"But kid, you'll pay the price for playing tricks on me."
If Xu Yu was bragging, then even before his death, he would definitely drag Xu Yu to hell with him.
Xu Yu didn't care about Qi Lao's threat. He said "oh" lightly and moved his shoulders in a relaxed manner. "We still have a long way to go to Ancheng. How about we talk about something else first?"
Old Qi looked at Xu Yu quietly without saying a word.
Xu Yu smiled maliciously, "There was once a place on Huwei Mountain called Qianlongyuan, which is probably the real location of Qianyuan Villa."
"As the owner of Qianyuan Mountain Villa, a wanted criminal, I'm sure you know where all the gunpowder on the mountain comes from."
Mr. Qi originally didn't want to say a word to Xu Yu.
But perhaps he was too lonely after being imprisoned for so many years, or perhaps he foresaw that his own death was imminent and could not bear to see the inheritance of many years completely cut off in him.
After a long silence amidst Xu Yu's prolonged patience, he spoke in an obscure voice, "Do you really think that the efforts of hundreds of years and generations have been in vain?"
Xu Yu made a gesture of invitation thoughtfully: "I'd like to hear the details."
The carriage, which was spontaneously moved away from by everyone in front and behind, continued to move forward. The loud noise of the wheels rolling covered up the very soft voices in the carriage.
They went all the way to Houcheng, three miles away from Ancheng. Old Qi closed his eyes and asked, "How many of these people are yours?"
Xu Yu sighed half-heartedly and said helplessly, "The coachman counts as one, and I can count two. If there are more, I really can't find them."
Old Qi sighed, his feelings unclear as he continued, "Back then, there was a traitor in the villa. We were tricked and fell into the imperial court's hands. I had no choice but to take the rest of the people and retreat from public view."
"But after so many years, the villa's foundation is still there, the real big fish to catch are there, and the evidence of the unclear dealings with the villa back then is also there."
Elder Qi saw through what Xu Yu really wanted to hear and said slowly with a mocking smile, "Bai Chengren was just a small pawn. Back then, he wasn't even worthy of being served on the table."
"Bai Chengren is ultimately just working for his master. Who the hell is he?"
