Chapter 331 Don’t Be Naive
"Don't get angry, if you get angry, no one will replace you.
Wuxie is a naive little brat. Elder, you are a magnanimous person and will definitely not take it to heart."
Zhang Hailou's playful antics were obviously to help Wuxie out of the predicament.
He spoke so bluntly that Zhang Moyu naturally understood the meaning behind his words. He rolled his eyes at him unhappily and did not reach out to take the teacup he handed over.
"Take it away, I don't like this tea."
"Also, I'm trying to teach him a lesson. Why are you showing up now? I really don't know when you two became so close."
He really didn't expect that Fatty Wang and Nan Xihe, who were watching the fun and had a good relationship with Wuxie, didn't come over to talk to him, but Zhang Hailou was the first to intervene.
Zhang Hailou blinked as if he didn't understand, and spoke shyly.
"How could I be on good terms with him and help him out? I'm clearly worried about the Mo Yu elders~"
The sudden gossip made Zhang Moyu's eyes twitch. He felt that this tribesman who seemed normal suddenly became abnormal.
Zhang Qiling, who was sitting next to him drinking morning tea and watching the development of the situation silently, was also disgusted by Zhang Hailou.
Seeing a grown man speaking such teasing words in such a shy tone early in the morning made him feel inexplicably nauseous, and he interrupted in a cold voice.
"Speak human language."
After receiving the order from the clan leader, Zhang Hailou became serious in an instant. After glancing at the empty hotel restaurant, he adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, stood up straight, looking very steady and reliable, and spoke in a low voice with a serious face.
"Yesterday, Hei Xiazi and I followed the clues provided by Chairman Ben Ling and us and investigated the people who delivered the package to Wu Xie. We found that they were a group of amateurs put together here and there. The person who received the map was quite capable, and the others were second-rate at best. However, they have a lot of secret connections, and we still need to verify them bit by bit.
Those people... to be honest, they don't look very reliable, but they are quite good at using crooked methods. The Buddha amulet on Wuxie's body that was replaced with another one must have been done by them. Their purpose might be to give us a warning and scare us.
The formation on that jade token is very effective in suppressing evil spirits, but I don't know where they got the information about the relationship between Wuxie and the Qilin Jade Token."
Zhang Hailou narrowed his eyes and analyzed very seriously.
However, after hearing his words, Wuxie suddenly felt guilty when he thought about how he had taken out the Qilin Jade Pendant in public yesterday and showed it off to Nan Xihe.
Oops, this seems to be his fault again...
Wuxie silently lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the floor. At this moment, he desperately wanted to find a place to hide.
If Brother Mo knew that this matter was caused by him from beginning to end, he would definitely be even angrier!
Fatty Wang didn't know the reason for the whole thing, but when he saw Wuxie's current appearance of shrinking like a quail, a light bulb went off in his mind and he suddenly understood.
He had also seen Wuxie's precious Qilin jade token, which was a rare and valuable item.
Could it be that Wuxie secretly showed it off and then happened to be spotted?
Tsk tsk tsk, don’t show off your wealth…
Calling him naive, does he really think he is a little naive?
What did he learn during those few months with Hei Xia Zi? Could it be that he only learned bad things and nothing good?
Fatty Wang sighed worriedly in his heart, while Nan Xihe, who was eating breakfast and watching the development of the situation, instantly thought of the series of events that happened yesterday when Wuxie showed off the Qilin Jade Plate, then he felt someone was staring at them, and then Wuxie was knocked to the ground by a fake good guy who didn't look like a good guy.
It suddenly dawned on him, and he thought, he should know who did it.
Ignoring Wuxie's pleading look, he told the whole story from beginning to end, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and then pointed out the suspicious person who bumped into Wuxie at the end.
After hearing the whole story, everyone present looked at Wuxie. Wuxie felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, feeling both embarrassed and guilty.
"Do you remember what that person looks like? If you can provide some clues about his appearance, we should be able to find him faster."
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Hailou took the initiative to break the solemn atmosphere.
Wuxie was silent for a second, then spoke weakly.
"That... the person who bumped into me yesterday, he was wearing a khaki coat, I think, and it was a bit dirty, looking quite worn."
Zhang Hailou no longer had any hope for this stupid dog and turned to look at Nan Xihe.
"I'm not very good at literature, so I don't know how to describe it. How about I just draw it?"
As a person who aspires to become a professional photographer, Nan Xihe also has good painting skills.
With a piece of paper, a pen, and a quarter of an hour, a sloppy yet distinctive portrait sketch appeared on the paper. The expression of sincerity and friendliness, but with a cunning and malicious look in the eyes, was portrayed vividly by Nan Xihe.
Wuxie, who was completely focused on his sore butt yesterday, was a little dazed.
Did the person I met yesterday have such a malicious look in his eyes? He looked okay, like an ordinary, honest person. Did Xiaonan draw it too exaggeratedly?
"I'm very sensitive to people's emotions and have a pretty good sixth sense. I think it's probably him."
With Nan Xihe's real-name report, Zhang Moyu directly assigned the task of finding the person to Hei Xia Zi.
Hei Xia Zi, who had just arranged the vehicle for the next trip and had not even had a sip of tea after entering the door, was full of questions. Then he looked at Zhang Hailou with a gloomy look.
Tell me quickly, did you say bad things about me again while I was away?
You guys are leisurely drinking tea and having breakfast here, but I, Hei Ye, am the only one running around outside, working myself to pieces. Is this a joke?
Hei Xia Zi thought that Zhang Hailou must have had a few words with him last night and he was unhappy, so he deliberately threw the work to him today so that he could have some free time!
Bah! You're just a despicable villain who only knows how to complain. He will remember this grudge!
You better pray that you don't end up in my hands one day...
Zhang Hailou shuddered inexplicably and had a bad feeling in his heart for no reason.
After thinking for a while and still unable to figure it out, Zhang Hailou rubbed his nose and continued to talk about what they had previously found out.
"The person I colluded with us is ostensibly the president of a group in Sakura Country named Yamamoto Shunsuke. It is said that he came here to find a treasure from the once-lost Maurya Dynasty that can bewitch people.
There was only one way to enter the Maurya Dynasty ruins, and that required a descendant of the royal family to lead the way. So, they managed to find Nan Xihe. More details were not yet known.
But the blind man discovered that someone in that team was frequently passing information to the outside world."
