Hu Ming was not in a hurry. By the time he slowly crossed half of Hangzhou and arrived at Wu Sansheng's villa, it was already midnight.
Wu Sansheng's villa is located in the old city, and the surrounding area of about three kilometers is full of old buildings that only existed in the last century.
This area is actually not remote. According to the municipal planning of Hangzhou, this area should be demolished and rebuilt as early as the millennium.
However, due to certain connections, the Wu family spent a lot of money on operations and removed this place from the city planning.
The reasons for this are somewhat intriguing.
At this time, Hu Ming was standing on the edge of this special area in the city, stepping on the critical point of the transition between light and darkness.
This area is really weird. For more than thirty years, once night falls, it is always dark here. All residences within a three-kilometer radius never see a trace of light and are filled with eternal silence.
Standing on a high place and looking down, it's like looking down at a sunken purgatory where no light can be seen.
More than thirty years ago, when Wu Sansheng first became prosperous, a large tomb of a prince of the Song Dynasty was dug under this land. This has long been confirmed.
It is no longer a secret now, and anyone who is interested can easily check this out.
Therefore, even "he" didn't take it seriously when Wu Sansheng bought this area and turned it into a private domain.
After all, to a tomb robber, the attraction of a prince's tomb is no less attractive than some people's pursuit of immortality.
Over the past thirty years, the aboriginal people here have been "persuaded" by the three provinces of Wu one by one. Today, except for the single-family villas in the central area, there is no one left.
"The stupid Wu Laogou, the stupid Wu Sansheng, the stupid... They are really a family, they are all a bunch of old foxes with empty eyelashes!"
"What are the big tombs of the princes of the Song Dynasty? This deception has deceived the world for thirty years! If I hadn't read the original work well, I wouldn't have known that this land had a different purpose!"
Hu Ming stood on the roof of a dilapidated private house, looking at the lights of the villa in the central area, and smiled strangely.
After looking at the sky and knowing that it was almost time, Hu Ming no longer sighed and walked along a remote path towards the central area.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Sansheng's villa in Hangcheng is his main store. Over the years, Wu Sansheng has handled many business in Changsha City here.
After Wu Xie came back a month ago, he officially took over Wu Sansheng's villa. During the period when he became the "owner" here, he never even returned to his shop once, and he never met his boy Wang Meng.
In the darkness, many secret whistles immediately spotted the carefree intruder carrying a wine bottle. After distinguishing the intruder's face, the secret whistles restrained the murderous intent in their eyes and slowly escaped into the darkness.
The third master specially emphasized when he came back this time that whenever the second master of the Hong family arrives, he will go all the way!
"Hey, what are you doing, working as a sewer plumber here in the middle of the night while you're a big boss with a promising future?"
As soon as he stepped into the villa, Hu Ming saw Wu Xie, who was looking unhappy, lying at the sewer outlet in the yard, clawing at the dirt with his hands, looking extremely embarrassed.
Looking around, there were shadowy guys wandering around, seemingly looking for something.
"... By tonight, even that guy has relaxed a little? He thought it was really Wu Sansheng who returned to this villa."
"He contacted you through that old-fashioned computer connected by a single network cable, but you didn't understand the gap between him and your third uncle, so you were exposed?"
"And you are now looking for the secret room underground?"
Hu Ming suddenly understood and figured out what happened in a short time.
"He? Uncle Ming, do you know that person? Who is he? What is his relationship with my third uncle? What is his relationship with you?"
Hearing this, Wu Xie's expression changed. He suddenly realized that he thought he knew everything about the past, but the truth was cruel.
In the past thirty years, there were still many secrets that he did not know.
For example, who is the mysterious person who contacted Wu Sansheng along the network cable buried deep in the ground?
Intuition told Wu Xie that he should be very familiar with that person!
Just today, when Wu Xie was sitting in Wu Sansheng's study in a daze after dealing with matters in Changsha City, the big-headed computer that was older than him suddenly lit up the screen.
The desktop is the 83 version of Windows, and it is extremely clean, with nothing else except a few regular icons.
But Wu Xie remembered clearly that in the past twenty years, he had come to this study not only a thousand but also eight hundred times.
Countless times, he curiously watched his third uncle deal with things here, but he had never seen his third uncle use that computer.
Wu Xie knew even more clearly that Wu Sansheng was just a computer idiot, and his research on computers was only two-finger Zen typing!
However, Wu Xie received an email from an unknown source on the computer that suddenly lit up at night!
The part I am responsible for has been prepared. You are back. How is the plan going? Has Hu Ming come to Hangzhou with you? The last moment is coming. If possible, I still want to say goodbye to him.
Just a few words made Wu Xie's hair stand up all over his body and he shuddered.
He tentatively imitated Wu Sansheng's tone and replied with clichés. Unfortunately, that person knew Wu Sansheng too well!
Before Wu Xie could get any useful information out of him, the man disappeared decisively.
But in a few words of conversation, Wu Xie was already very convinced that the mysterious man had a close relationship with Wu Sansheng and Hu Ming, and was deeply involved in Wu Sansheng and Hu Ming's plan to fight against "him"!
Moreover, just a moment ago, the mysterious man was still monitoring every plant and tree in this villa!
However, although Wu Xie found the deeply hidden network cable and dug all the way from the second floor to here along the network cable buried deep in the floor, he still could not find the place where the mysterious man was hiding.
At this time, Hu Ming's unabashed words undoubtedly proved that he knew the mysterious person lurking in the secret! And the relationship was not shallow!
"An old friend, an old friend for more than 20 years. During his most difficult time, I was his neighbor for ten years and listened to a lot of sighs and nagging."
"You have also met this person, my eldest nephew. He is the stranger you are most familiar with."
Hu Ming looked at the eager and excited Wu Xie and laughed, slightly teasing Wu Xie's appetite.
"The most familiar stranger I have ever met?"
Wu Xie was really confused. Even with his proud head, he couldn't extract any useful information from Hu Ming's description.
"A year ago, he traveled with us to Qixing Lu Palace."
"I came here specifically to see him off. Come on, I'll take you to the place where he lived for the past twenty years."
"Before the accident, that guy was a good-for-nothing second generation, a romantic young man. His father often lost his temper because of him. He was very particular about all kinds of things when he was young."
"It's just that in the past thirty years, that guy has been like a lost dog, and he doesn't even dare to show his face. This rare bottle is regarded as a farewell for him."
Hu Ming shook the 71-year-old Romanée-Condé red wine in his hand, still half-hiding his purchase with full bad taste.
