Chapter 147: A ruthless knife
Fatty Wu and Lin Chen are both amazing people who are still unchanged in the face of Mount Tai. I rarely see them so excited. But this time, when they saw my black jade pendant, they were abnormal and acted so care. I was a little confused. I was stunned for a while before I replied to them: "This is..."
Before I could explain, Lin Chen suddenly interrupted me and said, "Wait!" As he said that, he winked at Fatty Wu.
Fatty Wu did not hesitate and immediately shouted to the people in the Internet cafe: "It's not open today, I won't charge the Internet fee anymore. Everyone should go back!" Fatty Wu has always cared about his business the most. It can be said that nothing is more important than making money, but now, he actually took the initiative to drive away his customers without hesitation.
The people sitting here surfing the Internet had to leave one by one after another after hearing what Fatty Wu said.
Lu Le is also a person who knows how to observe his expressions and looks. He saw that we have something important to say, so he took the initiative to say to me: "Chen Xiaotian, I have something to do, I'll go back to school first."
I nodded to him and said, "Yeah, bye!"
After everyone left, Fatty Wu immediately ran to close the Internet cafe gate.
As soon as the door was closed, Lin Chen asked me urgently: "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
As soon as Lin Chen finished asking, Fatty Wu quickly came over and waited for my answer.
I never thought about hiding anything about this jade pendant. Besides, Lin Chen and Fatty Wu are both people I trust, so I even said everything. I picked up my dad in the garbage dump, and the jade pendant always followed me and told them everything.
After hearing what I said, Lin Chen and Fatty Wu's expressions were even more shocked. Lin Chen's eyes were shining brightly, and he kept looking at me. While looking at him, he murmured: "How could it be you, how could it be you?"
I was completely confused. Lin Chen was so abnormal today. He didn't care much about anything, but now he was like a different person. I looked at him and asked in confusion: "What is me?"
Lin Chen explained: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that Fatty Wu and I are waiting for the same person here?"
I replied, "Yes!"
Lin Chen immediately said, "We are just waiting for you!"
Hearing this, I was even more confused. I said, "What are you waiting for me?"
Lin Chen said extremely seriously: "Our mission is to wait for the owner of Qilin Jade to appear to protect his safety."
Kirin jade?
I pointed to my black jade pendant and asked, "Do you think my jade pendant is Qilin jade?"
Lin Chen replied: "Yes, haven't you seen the pattern carved with a kirin? This jade pendant is unique in its ingenuity!"
Is the Qilin engraved on it? I always thought it was a dragon. Why did I feel mysterious as I heard it more and more, and it felt so unreal. I swallowed my saliva and asked Lin Chen again: "Is this jade pendant very expensive?"
When Fatty Wu heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Of course, this is a very old jade pendant. If it were placed in the auction house, it would be worth at least several hundred million!"
After Fatty Wu said that, Lin Chen also added: "The value of Qilin Jade is second-hand. It is mainly a symbol of identity, otherwise there would not be anyone who specifically asked Fatty Wu and I to protect the owner of Qilin Jade."
I was completely shocked. My jade pendant is worth hundreds of millions? And it is also a symbol of identity?
This is not a dream, right? I can't dream of such a magical thing. I grew up in the garbage dump and lived the poorest life. The world of rich people. I couldn't even imagine it. But now, Lin Chen and Fatty Wu gave me such an explosive message. I really couldn't accept it. After pausing for a long time, I spoke again: "Brother Chen, will you admit your mistake?"
Lin Chen said in a sure tone: "Fatty Wu and I have seen models, so we can't admit it wrong. Moreover, the material of this jade pendant is obviously authentic."
Fatty Wu echoed: "Yes, I can't be wrong. I didn't miss it if I looked at things with my eyes."
When Lin Chen heard this, he couldn't help but retort: "Then why didn't you realize that Chen Xiaotian is the one we are waiting for?"
Fatty Wu said dissatisfied: "Damn, who can think of this?"
When I heard that they started arguing again, I suddenly realized that I was in reality and I was not dreaming!
At this moment, I really want to call you the god. The humblest lower class figure is actually an existence with a special identity? Even two legendary figures such as Fatty Wu and Lin Chen are waiting for me here to protect me. What a shocking fact!
I digested it for a long time before slowly accepting this matter. Then, I looked at Lin Chen in a daze and asked, "Brother Chen, who asked you to protect me?"
Lin Chen said seriously: "You don't need to know this. You just need to know that your life is very precious, and I will not let you get hurt again in the future."
After saying that, Lin Chen put my jade pendant on my neck with his own hands.
Originally, I thought this jade pendant was very ordinary and it was nothing to wear on it, but now, knowing its value, I suddenly felt that it weighed ten thousand pounds. When I wore it, I seemed to be unable to bear it. My heart seemed to be suppressed by something. I was also a little heavy when I was excited and surprised.
In a daze, I remembered my dad. Since I was in elementary school, my dad stopped me from wearing this jade pendant, saying that he was afraid of causing a murder. When my dad died, he deliberately pressed this thing under his body, feeling that he was protecting it with his life.
Could it be that my dad had known that this jade pendant was valuable? Or maybe my dad's death was related to this jade pendant?
Thinking of this, I immediately said to Lin Chen: "When my father died, he specially pressed the iron box containing the jade pendant under him. Will his death be related to the jade pendant?" At the beginning, I thought Zhou Hao was the murderer, and my father's death was a simple revenge, but later, Zhou Hao told me that he was not the murderer and Gao Chengcai was the suspect, which made me feel that my father's death was definitely not simple.
After hearing what I said, Lin Chen's expression became solemn. He was also investigating my father's death, and he also knew that my father's death was not that simple.
After pausing for a few seconds, Lin Chen said thoughtfully to me: "I can't be sure of this either. Maybe just like you said, it may have something to do with this Qilin Jade."
My heart is getting heavier and heavier. Although this Qilin jade is particularly expensive and worth hundreds of millions of yuan, if possible, I will use it to exchange for my father's life. To me, my father is priceless. I don't want him to die, but the fact is that he died, and he may even be killed by this jade pendant.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lin Chen patted my shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will find out your father's affairs."
I nodded to Lin Chen.
Next, I kept staring at the jade pendant on me, thinking about all kinds of things in my mind.
In the evening, Fatty Wu went to buy vegetables, cooked in person, and cooked a large table of food.
It feels like Fatty Wu and Lin Chen have completely changed now. They have gone from being aimless to being full of energy. Fatty Wu is no longer the fat man who only loves to sleep, and Lin Chen is not a young Internet-addicted person who only plays games. Both of them have become normal people.
While eating, I couldn't help but ask Lin Chen and Fatty Wu: "Can you teach me some tricks? I want to be strong, I want to defeat Lu Mingfeng with my own strength!" Although I have no danger to protect me, I still want to be strong. I still want to really beat Lu Mingfeng and win a sigh of relief for myself.
After hearing what I said, Lin Chen replied seriously: "I won't fight him anymore."
I said silencely, "Why, didn't you say you could let me win?"
Lin Chen said in a deep voice: "Win can win, but if you put it to death, you will be beaten very badly. I can't hurt you anymore, so I won't beat you anymore."
I looked at Lin Chen and said speechlessly: "Didn't you say you can't speak without trust? Isn't it good to break the appointment?"
Lin Chen said indifferently: "What's wrong with this? Nothing is more important than your safety. If the Lu family is not convinced, let them come up." Lin Chen didn't know my identity before, and he didn't care about anything. Now that he knows my identity, he only cares about me. He still doesn't care about everything else.
When Fatty Wu heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Yes, your identity is noble, why are you fighting? We didn't know your identity before, but now we know, how can you get hurt again? If something happens to you, we can't get a job."
As soon as Fatty Wu finished speaking, a sudden sound of knocking on the door suddenly rang out.
The Internet cafe's door has been closed, and Fatty Wu also put up a sign that was suspended outside the Internet cafe. Logically, no one would knock on the door, so the knocking sound was very strange. Lin Chen paused for a while before speaking, "I'll go and have a look." As he said that, he got up, walked to the door of the Internet cafe, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw a large group of people standing outside the Internet cafe. These people were dressed in completely uniform. They were covered in black clothes and black pants, with a black cloth covering their faces. Moreover, everyone was filled with a murderous aura. Obviously, the person who came was not kind.
When Lin Chen saw these people, his face changed immediately, and his eyes showed nervousness. Immediately, he shouted: "Fatty Wu, take Chen Xiaotian away quickly, I will block them!"
Fatty Wu didn't delay for a moment, and pulled me and quickly left towards the back door of the Internet cafe.
Although Fatty Wu is fat, he runs really fast. I can't keep up with his pace at all. Fatty Wu doesn't talk nonsense. He carried me on his back door and ran quickly.
Fatty Wu is worthy of being a master. He is carrying me on his back and walking as fast as he can fly. I feel like I am traveling through the air, and the wind whistles through my ears. Fatty Wu's speed really shocked me.
After a long time, Fatty Wu took me out of the western area and to the suburbs, and then stopped.
I knew that I was safe, but my heart was still beating violently. The stimulation of escape made my heart tide fluctuate. At the same time, the horror of the group of masked people was also imprinted in my heart. I knew how powerful Fatty Wu and Lin Chen were. They were both monster-level existences, but when they saw the masked people, they wanted to let me go without saying a word. It can be seen how extraordinary those masked people were.
I was a little worried about Lin Chen's safety, so after I got off Fatty Wu, I immediately asked him, "Brother Chen will not be in trouble, right?"
Fatty Wu faced me and said lightly: "I don't know if he will have something to do, but you will have something to do!"
As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became cold. The next moment, I felt a chill in my abdomen.
