This house didn't look simple. As soon as Luo Tian and Shao Bing entered, they heard a voice: "It seems we have an uninvited guest."
The man in black who sent them over had begun to sweat on his forehead. He kept wiping it with his hands and couldn't control his body trembling. The voice said: "You know what to do, go ahead!!"
"Yes." The man did not explain why he allowed Shao Bing to board the ship, but turned around and left. Luo Tian felt that he should have gone to receive the punishment. The owner of this voice had absolute authority.
"Mr. Luo Tian." This man walked out of the shadows. It was a very huge desk lamp. He stood under the shadow of the desk lamp. The shadow blurred his face. When he walked out, Luo Tian was surprised.
It was found that he was lame, holding a cane in his hand. Despite this, he walked very quickly. The man was about fifty years old, with gray hair, bright eyes, medium build, and very capable hands.
Wearing a huge ruby ring, a pigeon blood ruby,
Luo Tian was basically impressed by the rich people across the country, but this man...
"Mr. Luo, I don't know what to call this person?" The old man turned to Shao Bing. The old man who was still sullen at Shao Bing's uninvited appearance just now was calm and gentle again. This rapid change showed the depth of his city.
"My surname is Shao." Shao Bing said, "Sorry for coming here uninvited!!"
At the same time, Luo Tian looked at the three-story villa. The first floor was an empty hall. There were various lamps everywhere, but none of them were turned on. Although it was already dawn, the hall was very dark.
People don't seem to like the light very much. Luo Tian saw the crutch in the old man's hand again...
"What, Mr. Luo, is there any mystery behind my crutch?" The old man changed the subject and asked Luo Tian.
"Made of dark wood." Luo Tian murmured: Two thousand to ten thousand years ago, natural mutations occurred in the celestial bodies in the ancient Sichuan region. Earthquakes, floods, and mudslides buried all the plants and organisms on the ground into low-lying places such as ancient river beds. Some
Some trees buried in the mud are formed through a carbonization process of thousands or even tens of thousands of years under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms in the absence of oxygen and high pressure, so they are also called carbonized wood. There are only a few darkened trees in the world and they are difficult to find.
."
"Isn't it easy to find?" The old man chuckled: "As long as something exists, there is always a way to find it, right?"
"This..." Luo Tian also smiled: "There is some truth. Although the dark wood is rare, there are still some in the world, and there is a chance to encounter them. As long as they do not disappear, there is a possibility of being discovered."
The old man stopped smiling and became serious again. Luo Tian asked, "I wonder what your surname is, sir? Also, where is my girlfriend now?"
"She is in a very safe place. She is a good girl, smart and generous. You are very lucky. As for me..." the old man said, "Just call me Jiuye."
Luo Tian felt a little bit of shock in Shao Bing beside him. It seemed that he had heard of the name Jiu Ye. Unfortunately, there was no way to communicate now. Luo Tian could only put this matter aside for the time being: "Jiu Ye has spent so much time.
You invited me here for a big event, but I don’t know what it means?”
"I said, I have a meeting gift for Mr. Luo, please come with me." Master Jiu led the way and led the two of them to the second floor. The space on the second floor is very large, with three rooms on the left and right.
I pushed open one of the rooms. This room was a study room. It was a very huge study room, with six rows of bookcases reaching the top, filled with all kinds of books. It was comparable to a small library.
Facing the door are three woven bamboo chairs and a small round coffee table. On it are placed tea that has been brewed and is steaming. Shao Bing's inference is correct. This Nine Masters
He had indeed known that they were coming and had prepared them in advance. Luo Tian looked at the books in the room. In addition to some modern books, there were also many ancient books. Luo Tian took a breath and thought of Cheng Zhen's father's collection.
room……
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Shao, please sit down." Master Jiu took out a box. This box was familiar to Luo Tian: "Isn't this?"
Master Jiu opened the box and revealed the blood diamond, also known as the red diamond, inside: "This is the meeting gift I gave to Mr. Luo."
"No..." Luo Tian hurriedly refused: "The so-called no reward for no merit, I am immoral and incompetent, and I absolutely cannot accept such an expensive gift. I will..."
"I know, you came because you thought your girlfriend was being coerced by me, right?" Master Jiu smiled bitterly: "Maybe my methods were a little too drastic, but I always passed you by. My time
There’s not much left, I have to be more aggressive, I’m sorry for scaring you.”
"So, my girlfriend is..."
"When you accept this gift, I will take you to see her." Jiuye blinked slyly. Although the old man was not young anymore, his mind was still very active. This was forcing Luo Tian to agree.
It would have been soft to "cooperate" with him and take someone else's money, but now he is using Cheng Zhen to seduce him.
Luo Tian looked helplessly at Shao Bing, Shao Bing nodded, and Luo Tian sighed: "Okay, I have no choice but to accept the disrespect." Luo Tian accepted the valuable red diamond and stood up immediately after it was done:
"Now, can you take me to see Cheng Zhen?"
"Okay." Master Jiu stood up and said, "Let's go."
Jiuye took the two of them to the third floor. The third floor was an open-air garden with a light-transmitting glass ceiling. It was filled with flowers and plants. "Is this a greenhouse?" Luo Tian was stunned by the scene on the third floor.
Now, there is a door next to the greenhouse, which should be a small bedroom. Cheng Zhenzhen was standing in the greenhouse watering the flowers with a kettle, unaware of Luo Tian's arrival.
"Go over there." Hong Luo said.
Luo Tian slowed down and walked gently towards the flower room. He took a deep breath and put his hand on Cheng Zhen's shoulder: "Cheng Zhen, I finally found you."
Cheng Zhen's hands stayed still, but her shoulders were trembling slightly. She turned her head, tears already streaming down her eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would cry: "I
I knew you would definitely come."
Luo Tian pulled Cheng Zhen into his arms: "I finally found you. Your phone can't get through. I'm going crazy. Something happened. I'm completely confused now."
"It's a long story," Cheng Zhen laughed: "It's great that you can come."
Master Jiu walked in: "I'm afraid it would be more appropriate for Miss Cheng Zhen to talk about some things. I will go back to the study first. I hope I can see you later, Mr. Luo Tian."
Watching Master Jiu go down, there were only three of them left here. At this time, the sun had completely risen, and the sunlight was shining through the glass. The light spread throughout the greenhouse, and enveloped Cheng Zhen, like a sun goddess.
, Shao Bing saw that both of them were a little distracted, coughed, and woke them up.
"By the way, Shao Bing, I just heard the word Jiu Ye. You seem to know something. You can tell me now." Luo Tian couldn't wait to say. He was still confused about Jiu Ye's old suspicion.
