Zhao Yulin didn't like to keep things a secret, so he told Sun Chongyue everything about the hunt for the Black Widow tonight, including the old grudge between him and the Black Widow.
"The killer who poisoned Chen Siyao is very famous internationally. I originally planned to kill her tonight to avenge myself and to scare her away, but she was rescued by a ninja."
"Ninja?" Sun Chongyue frowned.
Zhao Yulin explained, "You are a businessman, so you may not know much about things outside the business world. The profession of ninja is not only seen in movies and TV dramas. In fact, there are still a large number of ninjas in Japan. The sects are clearly divided, and their abilities are also different. The one I met today was a Penumbra-level jonin. You don't need to know the concept of jonin. You just need to know that Black Widow is one of the best in the second echelon among international killers. With a Penumbra-level jonin, the lineup is very luxurious."
"With a second-tier killer, there is no guarantee that those people will pull out the trump card of the first-tier killer. Similarly, there may be Kage-level ninjas. And according to the investigation of my men, they have also hired a mercenary corps from South America, and they have invested a lot of money."
"The enemy you have offended is very difficult to deal with."
Zhao Yulin shrugged and said calmly: "Of course I just mentioned these in passing. No matter how powerful the other party has hired, even if the world's number one soldier comes, I am still confident that I can protect the young lady. But there are some places where I hope you can cooperate."
"How to cooperate?" Sun Chongyue asked.
"I went to kill the Black Widow tonight, and the noise was quite loud. The police were already alarmed. My fingerprints, the severed arm of the Japanese ninja, and blood were left at the scene."
Zhao Yulin said, "The fingerprints are easy to find. My fingerprints are not in the database of the public security system. The problem is that there are many surveillance cameras in the hotel. If the police continue to investigate, they will find me sooner or later, and there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles."
"In addition, the severed arm and blood can easily lead to the real culprit. I would like to ask you to use your power in Yanjing to inform the police."
"How to inform?" Sun Chongyue asked.
"Let them keep this incident secret and turn a blind eye to it." Zhao Yulin said.
"If we dig deeper, we may find something valuable, but this will only cause trouble and cause those people to do something desperate. It will not benefit us or the police, and we may even end up losing more than we gain."
Sun Chongyue showed his cunning as a business tycoon, scheming and calculating, but he didn't reveal any opinions. He asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Yulin didn't argue with him and said straightforwardly: "It's a big game, so we should take it slow and make progress, and avoid being impatient for quick success."
Sun Chongyue looked at the young man in front of him with deep and serious eyes. After a moment, he laughed heartily: "Okay, I will hand the chess piece to you. Do you have the confidence to slay the dragon?"
"Such a big chessboard, with the chess pieces handed to me, should I say you are decisive or arbitrary?" Zhao Yulin looked at Sun Chongyue with the same eyes.
"Then does Mr. Zhao have confidence?" Sun Chongyue threw the question back.
Zhao Yulin stood up from the sofa, with a smile on his face, and said: "If you dare to give me the mat next to the chessboard, I dare to sit on it. Confidence is something that can't be relied upon. Let's see what happens after we play. Anyway, I don't like to lose. Please, Mr. Sun, just watch the game without saying a word."
"Of course."
Sun Chongyue also stood up and prepared to see him off in person.
The two walked out of the door, and there was a long row of high steps under their feet.
Zhao Yulin had heard old man Feng mention this before when he was drunk. There are also some rules for gate steps. For common people, eight steps is the best. Only the imperial palace dares to use nine steps, which symbolizes the supreme power.
Many traitors and treacherous heroes in ancient times also built nine-step steps in front of their gates. That was called the Dragon Gate Stairs. Stepping on it was like a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, becoming an emperor.
He counted carefully. The staircase in front of Sun Chongyue's villa has nine steps from the bottom to the top, but the ninth step is obviously shorter than the other eight steps, only half the height.
So it is eight and a half steps.
"Mr. Sun, call me by my name from now on. After all, you are an elder." Zhao Yulin said, his eyes lingering on the steps.
He never cared about seniority with others. Even in front of old man Feng, he always called him "Laozi". Although he was always beaten for this, he never repented.
The reason why he gave Sun Chongyue so much face was just for Sun Leling's sake.
I don't know if Sun Chongyue guessed the reason. He smiled and said, "Old man Feng called you Xiao Linzi, how about I call you Xiao Lin? It's neither overstepping the boundaries nor alienating."
"Xiao Yu, it sounds good." Zhao Yulin replied.
"Then Xiao Yu." Sun Chongyue also had the straightforwardness of an old man who was still young, and agreed.
Zhao Yulin took out his phone and checked the time, saying, "We still need to guard Zhuxi Garden, you should rest early, I'll take my leave now."
Sun Chongyue waved his hand, and one of his men leaned forward, and he ordered, "Send Xiaoyu off."
Einstein told me that it is difficult to get a taxi in the villa area, this is an irrefutable truth. In addition, it was already late, so Zhao Yulin naturally did not refuse, and he could save a taxi fare, so he happily left the villa area in a luxury car.
Sun Chongyue stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, watching the car lights gradually fade away in the night. His energetic face suddenly showed a trace of fatigue. He sighed and murmured, "Dad, the favor you gave me back then seems to be very important."
...
Zhao Yulin returned to Zhuxi Garden and saw from a distance that the lights in the main hall on the second floor of the villa were still on. He couldn't help but smile with his head down, and a warm current in his heart.
The night was very quiet. He went in and went up to the second floor, and found that Sun Leling had fallen asleep on the sofa.
"This girl is so stupid that she waited until now."
Zhao Yulin shook his head, picked her up and sent her back to the bedroom bed, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, covered her with a quilt, and tiptoed out. The whole process was like being a thief. Fortunately, he did not wake up the young lady who was sleeping sweetly.
He turned off the TV and the lights in the living room, went back to his bedroom and took a quick shower, then stretched his waist and fell comfortably on the bed, sighing:
"The little girl from the Sun family is really becoming more and more likable~"
In the past twenty years, he had many definitions of happiness - it was probably a bowl of hot porridge in the early morning, or seeing a few lively familiar faces when he returned to the base covered in dirt and grass, or the words of Feng Laotou after he learned a new kung fu and practiced with him, "This level is barely good enough."
Now, he felt that there was another kind of happiness, that is, the little girl was obviously very naughty, but she kept the lights on for you when you came back very late.
"So that's what that sentence means?" Zhao Yulin rested his head on his arms, looking at the dark ceiling.
When he was very young, he often asked Old Man Feng who his parents were and where his home was. Old Man Feng had a bad temper and would beat him every time he asked this question, using bamboo sticks to beat his buttocks until the skin and flesh were torn.
But every time after beating him, Old Man Feng felt distressed. While applying cooked eggs to his buttocks, he muttered to himself listlessly.
- The person who cares about you is where you will end up, silly kid.
"The person who cares about me? Well, think about it this way, I am still quite popular." Zhao Yulin closed his eyes with satisfaction, ready to fall asleep with a smile on his face.
The scene after closing his eyes was still the world of golden light brought by the evil dragon evil ticket. Just as Old Man Feng said, the four small characters in Qin seal script were like a brand engraved in his spiritual sea of consciousness.
Every time he closed his eyes, a golden light would appear in front of his eyes, even when he blinked.
So when others blinked, it was the alternation between darkness and the black and white of the world, but when he blinked, it was the rotation between the golden world and the real world.
Maybe because he had been in this state since he was a baby, Zhao Yulin had already gotten used to it, and it did not affect his rest. The only difference was that there were no words when he was sleeping, but there were words when he was meditating.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Yulin, who was about to fall asleep, wrinkled his two delicate eyebrows like curved leaves, as if confused.
"What is this? What's going on?"
The chaotic world of golden light has changed. Although it is very subtle and not obvious, Zhao Yulin, who has been watching it for twenty years and falling asleep in this light almost every night, can clearly distinguish that the golden light is dimmer than before.
"No, it's not getting dimmer!"
Zhao Yulin carefully observed the light in front of him and found that the pure golden light was mixed with wisps of black light.
"Have I been overusing my eyes recently?" Zhao Yulin thought to himself.
"Your eyes are very healthy." A sad voice that seemed to come from ancient times rang out.
"Damn it! Who is it!"
Zhao Yulin's brows furrowed more and more, and his mind told him not to close his eyes, because that voice obviously came from his own mind, or more precisely, it gradually came from that golden world.
"I am your dream, and I am also your past self, and at the same time, I am also your present self."
That voice came again, with extreme hoarseness and coldness, speaking mysterious words.
"Which bastard is it! Get out of here!"
Zhao Yulin roared. He was not a staunch atheist, but it was still quite terrifying to hear someone talking in his mind, and it would be terrifying if he told others about it.
Zhao Yulin even began to wonder if he had schizophrenia?
"I'm right in front of you."
The voice was no longer distant and ethereal, and the source of the voice was the four characters "Nie Long Xie Quan" that jumped onto Zhao Yulin's altar.
For the first time, the small Qin seal characters came uninvited when he was not meditating, and Zhao Yulin saw at this moment that the word "Nie" in "Nie Long Xie Quan" was the same as the golden world stained with black light, turning half black and half gold.
"This thing finally moved."
Faced with the sudden change, Zhao Yulin's heart was trembling, faintly excited, but also confused.
God knows whether this change is good or bad.
