Upon seeing the newcomer, Deng Xiaohong hurriedly went to greet him and said respectfully, "Chairman, we haven't found that thing yet, and Zuo Changming still refuses to hand it over."
I looked at the middle-aged man, his brows furrowed.
I didn't know this middle-aged man, but from Deng Xiaohong's words, I knew that he was in cahoots with her and that he held a high position.
"Who are you?" I asked, my face grim.
"Hehe, Zuo Changming, you don't know me, but I know you. My name is Liu Yong." The middle-aged man chuckled. "To be precise, I am your superior. Oh right, I should say you and Huang Haitao's superior. Hand over the item. That Dragon Blood Coin is not something you can touch."
My face showed shock. I didn't expect that this middle-aged man named Liu Yong was Huang Haitao's boss. If that's the case, then An Lili and Deng Xiaohong were also arranged by him to come to the courier station, and his goal was that dragon blood copper coin.
"I don't know anything about Dragon Blood Coins, nor do I have what you're looking for." I stared intently at Liu Yong and asked, "Do you have anything to do with my grandfather's death?"
"A little," Liu Yong said casually.
"Then go to hell." I charged straight at Liu Yong and punched him hard in the chest.
"Overestimating yourself." Liu Yong had barely finished speaking when he also threw a punch.
The instant our fists made contact, I felt as if my fist had been hit by a car, and I was sent flying backward.
"Hand over the stuff, or I'll make you wish you were dead," Liu Yong said coldly, glancing at me.
My throat felt salty, and I felt like I was going to vomit blood, but I forced myself to hold it in. I was afraid that if I vomited blood, I would vomit the red copper coin.
To prevent them from finding the red copper coin, I hid it at the root of my molar.
"I don't have what you're looking for at all." I struggled to my feet, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, and glared at Liu Yong and Deng Xiaohong.
“If it weren’t for that old guy, you wouldn’t be alive today. Be smart and hand it over now.” Liu Yong stared at me with ill intent and continued, “Now that old guy has already fought with the master, he’s not coming back alive. You’d better not have any illusions.”
I remained silent, but my eyes kept changing. The thing that my fifth grandfather and the village chief were facing was Liu Yong's master. What exactly was going on?
Recalling the solemn expressions of my fifth grandfather and the village chief, my heart suddenly filled with worry. And Liu Yong's words that something might happen to my fifth grandfather were something I could never bear.
No, I have to find a way to get out and see. Although I can't be of much help, I still have the copper coin my grandfather left me. I don't know how powerful this coin is, but I have a feeling that it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the enemy in a critical moment.
But I am now facing great danger. The idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement. I will absolutely not hand over the copper coins to Liu Yong and his group. I don't even know if I will survive.
Liu Yong only struck me casually, and I was seriously injured. His strength is far greater than Deng Xiaohong's.
My heart sank to the bottom, and my mind was frantically searching for a solution.
But in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile.
"So you were the one behind it all. But I don't understand, I don't have what you want at all, so why did you go to such lengths to harm me?" I felt utterly hopeless, but I still wanted to know what was going on.
"Heh, Zuo Changming, stop pretending. Your grandfather came here back then and used that thing to suppress the master. Now that he's dead, it has naturally fallen into your hands. I advise you to hand it over obediently and not make any futile struggles. It will only add to your suffering." Liu Yong sneered and said slowly.
"Who is your master?" I pressed on.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste words with you. I hope you can withstand my methods." Liu Yong snorted, having lost his patience. He took a step forward and pounced on me quickly.
I wanted to dodge, but Liu Yong was too fast, and I couldn't avoid him at all. I could only resign myself to closing my eyes.
Bang!
I heard a sound, but strangely, I didn't feel any pain. I opened my eyes out of curiosity and saw a person in gray clothes standing in front of me. She had her back to me, but judging from her silver hair, she was obviously an old woman.
Since I couldn't see the old woman's face, I didn't know who she was, but I couldn't understand why she would stand up to help me.
Just then, the old woman turned around and said with a smile, "Young man, we meet again."
“It’s you…” I stared wide-eyed, my face filled with disbelief.
