At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Fan, Jin Sanshui, and Chen Dashan boarded the plane from Pingshan to Jingdong, a Japanese country.
On the way, Chen Dashan introduced the situation of the Japanese Divine Religion to Zhang Fan and Jin Sanshui.
The headquarters of the sect is located on the outskirts of Jingdong City. It is an official organization and is guarded by the Self-Defense Forces outside. There are surveillance equipment everywhere. Therefore, you need to be very careful and patient when going this time.
At 12:30 noon, the three of them got off the plane, found a restaurant in downtown Jingdong, and started eating.
"Brother Chen, how do you plan your next trip?"
Halfway through the meal, Jin Sanshui asked.
"I'll go check out the surrounding areas of the sect in the afternoon and check out the situation. You two can go back to the hotel and rest."
After pondering for a while, Chen Dashan opened his mouth and said.
Zhang Fan glanced at Chen Dashan but said nothing. Jin Sanshui nodded in response.
In the afternoon, as arranged by Chen Dashan, Zhang Fan and Jin Sanshui went back to the hotel to rest.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dashan came back with a sad face.
"Brother Chen, what's going on?"
Jin Sanshui asked.
"I didn't find any clues, hey..." Chen Dashan said, "The person who provided me with clues before could not be contacted even after taking money. This is so damn..."
Chen Dashan couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
"This..." Jin Sanshui frowned, "This means there are no clues. In addition, no one knows whether the clues provided by that person are true or just nonsense. How can we follow up?"
Chen Dashan glanced at Jin Sanshui and sighed heavily again.
Afterwards, Chen Dashan began to pace back and forth in the room. During the pacing process, Chen Dashan's mood gradually became calmer and his thinking became clear again.
"It's not possible to rely on others to find out the information. I still have to do it myself."
Chen Dashan said with some regret, and then turned his attention to Zhang Fan and Jin Sanshui, "Brothers, I'm afraid you two came with me this time in vain. I have to start from the beginning. If I want to find out the information myself, I have to at least do it for a while.
It takes a year and a half to get some ideas.
But I can't waste your time for a year and a half. For you, you can do too much in this year and a half, especially a talented young man like Xiaofan.
Regarding the current situation, I have two plans. First, our cooperation ends here. Since the problem lies on my side, you do not need to return the "deposit" I paid before for the Asparagus.
Second, our cooperation will continue. When I investigate the situation here clearly, before taking action, I will call you two, and you two will come over to help me. After the matter is completed, I will give you the remaining asparagus grass.
Presented."
Zhang Fan and Jin Sanshui looked at each other and said in unison: "I choose the second option..."
The problem lies with Chen Dashan. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Fan and Jin Sanshui choosing the first option. However, this makes them feel somewhat uncomfortable, so they both choose the second option.
"Thank you two brothers for your understanding..." Chen Dashan cupped his fists slightly towards the two of them.
"When do you plan to leave, I will book your flight tickets."
Chen Dashan continued.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning..." Zhang Fan replied after thinking for a while.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning too."
Jin Sanshui followed closely.
At noon the next day, Zhang Fan returned home. Just as the taxi drove to the door of his house, Zhang Fan saw two figures again. One of them was very familiar to him. It was Xilin who came to him a week ago and was still standing next to Xilin.
Holding an old lady with a snake-head cane.
Seeing Zhang Fan get out of the car, Xilin immediately turned his attention to Zhang Fan, "Master, he is here..."
The old lady slowly turned her head and nodded slightly.
At this moment, the appearance of the old lady also caught Zhang Fan's eyes. The old lady looked quite kind, and there were not many wrinkles on her skin. Moreover, her face was very good, rosy and shiny.
However, the old lady is not as simple as she seems on the surface. Zhang Fan can neither feel the old lady's strength nor see through the old lady's face.
"How are you, young man..." the old lady smiled.
"Hello, old man..." Zhang Fan replied politely, and then asked, "Are you here because of what Xilin talked to me about last time?"
"right."
The old lady nodded.
"I don't want to join the sect, so please come back so as not to waste our time. I just took a plane for more than three hours. I am really tired and want to take a good rest."
Zhang Fan said.
"It's really hard to take a three-hour flight. We also flew here early in the morning. There were some things that Xilin probably didn't explain to you clearly last time. This time I'll have a good chat with you and won't rest at this moment.
Well."
The old lady smiled and said, "Just because we work hard..."
Zhang Fan glanced at the old lady, sighed softly and said: "Then please come in..."
After the three of them sat down in the living room, Zhang Fan made tea for them out of politeness.
"Young man, are you the only one who lives here?"
The old lady looked around and then asked.
"Well..." Zhang Fan nodded, "Old man, you'd better get straight to the point. If we have this time, we might as well all take a good rest."
"Haha..." The old lady smiled and said, "Young man, you are direct enough. Okay, then I will tell you directly that your grandfather not only has the Han Yuan clan as his formidable enemy, but also some powerful people in the underworld are also your grandfather's enemies."
Hearing the old lady's words, Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, "Some powerful person?
Which powers?"
"Black and white are impermanent..." the old lady replied.
"Besides them, is there anyone else?"
Zhang Fan followed closely.
"have!"
The old lady said with great certainty.
"Who else?"
Zhang Fan asked again.
"I won't tell you yet..." the old lady replied.
Hearing what the old lady said, Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "You and your apprentice are following a routine. We don't have to talk, so please do whatever you want."
After saying that, Zhang Fan stood up and walked towards the stairs again.
"Master, he was like this last time..." At this time, Xilin continued.
The old lady glanced at Xilin, then frowned, looked at Zhang Fan's back, stood up suddenly and said: "Young man, your grandfather is in danger now, do you know?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's footsteps stopped, his heart tightened, and he felt intense worry. This was the first time he heard news about his grandfather after his grandfather left him.
But soon, Zhang Fan's mental state returned to calm again, because while he was worried about his grandfather's safety, he also remembered his grandfather's words to him, to avoid the situation of "care leads to chaos". At the critical moment,
