Chapter 504 The Man Behind the Scenes
I was stunned and stared at my phone in astonishment for a long time.
When my senior sister left home, she was only sixteen years old, the same age as Huaer. And because she was not very experienced in the world, her mind should not be very mature.
I couldn't help but shudder at this thought, thinking, wouldn't my senior sister be deceived by someone?
But then I shook my head and thought that it was good that my senior sister didn't deceive others. I guess the person who could deceive my senior sister has not been born yet.
"It's just strange, why does my senior sister hang out in that kind of place every day? Could it be that my senior sister has some special hobby?"
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Since I couldn't figure it out, I simply stopped thinking about it. After taking a deep breath, I stretched out my hand to hail a taxi, got in the car, and went straight to the hotel.
"My senior sister told me to go to Lishui Manor, where I can find the answer I'm looking for. Could it be that the person behind the scenes is hiding in the manor? But...how did my senior sister know?"
My memory of my senior sister still stays at the time when she just left home. I remember that my senior sister had a big braid at that time and was full of vitality, but now, why does my senior sister give me a feeling of...scheming?
"What has my senior sister experienced in these years?" I shook my head.
After returning to the hotel, I went straight to the tenth floor, but when I opened the door and saw the scene in the room, I was dumbfounded.
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing..."
I saw that Xiao Qi actually took out all the decorations in the cabinet and placed them neatly on the coffee table. At this moment, Xiao Qi was riding on the back of a war horse, swinging his little feet, eating potato chips and watching TV series.
And next to it, there was a brand new, extra-large ashtray. At this moment, the ashtray was filled with water, and there was a layer of bubbles floating on the water. Next to it, there was also a bottle of shower gel.
"Xiao Qi, is he taking a bath in the ashtray?" I was stunned, thinking to myself, what did Xiao Qi do during the time I was away?
"You're back." Xiao Qi, who was originally shaking his head and was very excited, immediately became dull after seeing this. After saying this in a neutral tone, he flew directly to the bedroom.
"Xiao Qi, are you still jealous?" I looked at Xiao Qi's back, touched my nose and murmured, "No, I must find time to talk to Xiao Qi properly. If I keep going like this, I will become a jealous person."
I shook my head helplessly and then put away all the decorations on the coffee table.
After cleaning up the room, I picked up the hotel service phone and ordered some food at the front desk. After eating, I took off my Tang suit, changed into a set of sportswear, and sat on the sofa, staring at the sunset outside the window in a daze.
I had planned to tell Feng Changhe about the Lishui Manor and ask him to help investigate, but then I suddenly suppressed this idea
because I suddenly understood what Senior Sister was planning.
"I have been in seclusion for so long that many people in the martial arts world have forgotten that I am a Yinren. The reason why Senior Sister asked me to bring the Iceberg Snow Lotus to Zhangjiajie was to make me conflict with the Feng family, and then use the Iceberg Snow Lotus to force the Feng family to bow to me... No!" I
suddenly frowned: "Suppressing the Feng family is not Senior Sister's real purpose. Senior Sister should have expected Kunlun to come to propose marriage, so she asked me to take the Iceberg Snow Lotus to slap Kunlun in the face." At
this moment, I even suspected that Senior Sister should be looking forward to the conflict between Kunlun and me, because I am a Yinren and I urgently need to establish my prestige in the martial arts world.
And now, the mastermind who murdered Feng Chujiu is the target that Senior Sister found for me to establish my prestige!
"So, it seems... all of this is in Senior Sister's calculation?"
At this moment, I even suspected that even Huang Shuai's introduction of me to Chu Jiu was also in Senior Sister's calculation.
"If that's the case, then Senior Sister is too... scary!"
I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, wondering to what extent Senior Sister has learned the master's technique of the Gua?
Just as I was sitting on the sofa, looking at the sunset outside the window and daydreaming, my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Who is it?" Now, many people from the martial arts world have gathered in Zhangjiajie. These people are all here for the River Map and Luoshu, and this call may be from someone in the martial arts world.
I hesitated for a moment, but in the end, I chose to answer it.
"Zhang Du'e's disciple, Zhang Qianyu?"
A low voice came from the receiver. I frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The other party chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I called you just to remind you that you are in danger now."
"Then what?" I asked with a frown.
"Haha, young friend, do you mind cooperating with me?" The other party said calmly: "Now, all kinds of people from the martial arts world have gathered in Zhangjiajie, and their purpose is to get the River Map and Luoshu from you. Of course, I, an old man, also want to get it, but compared with those martial arts ruffians, I am still more moral. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee that you will not only be able to escape from Zhangjiajie unscathed, but no one will dare to bother you in the future."
After hearing his words, I suddenly laughed and said, "Can you protect me? I am very curious, who are you? With such a big tone, you should be the leader of a sect, right?".7
The other party was not angry when he heard it, but also smiled and said, "The old man is just a nobody, but the people in the martial arts world still have to give him some face."
"And then? You want me to be grateful to you and then give you the River Map and Luo Shu?" I sneered.
"My friend, you are wrong. Although the old man wants it, he is not so greedy. My condition is very simple. I just want to borrow the River Map and Luo Shu for a few days. My friend, what do you think of this deal?"
"Borrow?" I sneered after hearing his words, thinking, is he taking me for a fool?
I don't believe that someone can restrain his greed and not take it for himself after getting the River Map and Luo Shu.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it, thank you." I was about to hang up the phone, but the other party sneered and said, "It's inevitable for young people to be arrogant, but my friend, the world is dangerous, and it will be difficult for you to leave Zhangjiajie this time. Moreover, I can guarantee it with my life. I will only borrow it for three days. After three days, I will return the River Map and Luo Shu intact to Zhao."
He coughed and continued, "I'll give you two hours to consider it. If you change your mind, you can come to Lishui Manor to find me. Old man, I'm always waiting for your driver."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, but my face darkened, and my eyes were full of astonishment.
"Lishui Manor? Could he be the one who hurt Chu Jiu...behind the scenes?"
