Cao Shi's tone on the phone was unquestionable, which made me immediately feel the seriousness of the situation, and my heart, which had always been high in the air, began to beat uncontrollably again.
But I was not allowed to ask any more questions. After Cao Shi said this, he hung up the phone. I dropped the phone in despair and looked at Ma Dad at a loss. Even we had just discovered these situations, why are we thousands of miles away?
Cao Shi actually already knows everything about it?
"What did you say? What did you say?" Ma Dad was as anxious as I was. Seeing that I hung up the phone and didn't speak, his face immediately changed and he kept asking questions around me.
"Cao Shi wants us to dispose of the body and leave the stall immediately, otherwise we will die." This incident gave me not only panic, but also a lot of doubts. There was a big mess here at the stall, and there was a big mess over there in Jiangbei.
Obviously the reaction was very intense. I don't know the specific situation in Jiangbei, but Cao Shi's words have explained everything.
"Then what are you waiting for! Get started!" Ma Dad trotted over to get the tools and started digging a hole in a corner of the backyard.
Overnight, the waiter at the stall disappeared, Zhao Huxu's entourage had his throat cut, Zhao Huxu and Shuimingbao disappeared. Thinking about the short and mysterious letter I received before, I felt that my eyes were dark, as if I didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly I fell into a dark cloud.
But it was too late to say anything at this time. According to Cao Shi's instructions, Ma Dad and I dug a hole in the yard, threw the body in, sprinkled a layer of lime and buried it. Ma Dad felt very guilty and asked while doing it.
I was asking questions here and there, my mind was in a mess, and I told him to shut up and get to work. Ma Dad was awakened by the shouting, and knowing that this was a life-threatening problem, his arms were immediately filled with a thousand pounds of strength, and his shovel danced like a wheel.
After burying the body, we flushed Zhao Fox's room thoroughly with water. The blood on the floor was diluted by the water, and the strong smell of blood seemed to have never dissipated. After that, we cleaned the blood stains in the yard and on the walls.
Erase all the bloody fingerprints and leave the stall with all the cash.
The moment the stall door opened, I was a little dizzy from the sunlight outside. Ma Dad lowered his head and pulled me away in a hurry. The pedestrians around me were the same as usual, but at this moment, I saw that no one was at ease. We
The two of them were very careful. After going out, they went around and backed up several trains until they reached Fenghuang Town, southwest of Enbo Tower, before stopping.
We walked in a hurry. When we got to the town, we were not at ease. We found an inconspicuous corner and settled down. I stared at the watch on my wrist, watching the hands keep beating. As soon as it reached twelve o'clock, I immediately
I called Cao Shi. His mood was different from that in the morning. He was a little excited. He seemed to be asking me, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He repeated one sentence over and over again: How could things be like this?
"Lao Cao." I interrupted him: "I only saw the results of what happened at the stall, but I really don't know the process in between. Ma Dad can prove this."
"What can he prove to you?!" Cao Shi said in a serious tone, and said at that time: "He can't protect himself now, what do you want him to prove to you?"
"Old Cao, how did you know about the stall?"
"Zhao Huhu called this morning and said that you and Ma Dad killed his man in the early hours of the morning and he escaped desperately."
After hearing this, my head was buzzing and about to explode. My vision suddenly went black, and all the blood rushed to the top of my head. I couldn't believe my ears, and I couldn't believe what Cao Shi said. Zhao Huhu actually reported to Jiangbei.
Reading such a letter is like holding a knife and driving both Ma Dad and I to the edge.
My face suddenly turned a little pale, and Ma Dad was jumping around anxiously. I patted my forehead and tried my best to catch my breath.
"Master Tian, the situation is very serious now." Cao Shi continued: "Zhao Fox called. The guy below received the call. It was passed to Master Ba and also to me. I asked the guy who answered the phone
, Zhao Huxu’s meaning is very obvious. He said that you and Ma Dad were deliberately trying to suppress them behind their backs, possibly for the fate treasure."
"He's farting!" I wanted to calm down, but when I heard this, I became anxious again: "The stall accepted the Ming Bao, and we took the initiative to call Jiangbei to come and pick up the goods."
"I know, but Master Ba is really anxious this time. I can't stop him. After receiving the news, he sent people to Zhaotong, saying that as long as he catches you and Ma Dad, he will do it first."
"Go away?!"
My whole body was as cold as ice. What Cao Shi said was to cut off the person's hands. I couldn't believe that this was what the old man said. I lost the black box I brought back from Machan City.
The old man just sent me to Zhaotong to show off. Although the Mingbao is valuable, I can foresee that it will definitely not be more valuable than the black box.
Even though the old man and I have an adoptive father-son relationship, over the years, he has treated me like his own son and is planning to pass on most of the family business to me. How could he kill me for the destiny treasure?
"Old Cao." My right hand was shaking so much that I handed the phone to my left hand, took a deep breath, and almost cried when I spoke again: "Are these the old man's original words?"
"Don't blame Master Eight. He was so angry that he vomited blood just after receiving the news." Cao Shi was silent for a minute and said, "Master Tian, there is something you don't know. Master Mian's condition is very bad. His health is inherently bad.
Weak, the injury he suffered last time was fatal. Master Ba personally arranged for him to go elsewhere for treatment. I don’t know where exactly, but rumors leaked out that Master Mian may be critically ill. Master Ba received the news of the Ming Bao
I was very happy in the end, but in the past two days, Master Mian's affairs have disturbed me, and I was in a terrible mood, and I dropped a lot of things."
"Wei Mian is critically ill?" I immediately took a breath. He is too important to me. If I can't confront him face to face and give the old man an explanation for what happened that night, I will never feel at ease in this life.
"Only Master Ba knows about Master Mian, and those below us only hear rumors. Master Tian, let's not talk about this for now. All we know is the information sent by Zhao Huhu. The specific situation is not clear yet. Please tell me.
Please explain in detail what happened at the stall, and don’t miss a single word.”
I told everything I knew about the situation, and told Cao Shi that it happened very suddenly and strangely. There were two bedrooms in the same yard. One of them was beaten to death, but the other one was not injured at all.
Hearing the sound, this itself is a very abnormal phenomenon.
After saying this, I don't know what to say anymore, but the sad mood just now gradually calmed down a bit. This time the old man must have been furious. Wei Mian's situation is not good. If the only seedling of the Wei family cannot be saved,
The old man's temper will definitely make me angry in a hurry.
"Master Tian, you must hide for a while."
"Is it appropriate to hide out at this time?" I shook my head in shame. The news about the stall spread to Jiangbei, where the city must have been full of trouble. This is a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated in any way. But if I run away now
I told everyone that I was the one who did it, and I felt guilty, so I ran away.
"You must hide." Cao Shi advised: "Ba Ye knew about the stall and was extremely angry. He immediately sent someone to deal with you. I know Ba Ye, he will definitely regret it before long, so you have to hide.
When Ba Ye regrets it, at least make sure that he is safe, and then come out and explain the matter clearly."
I thought about it and realized that what Cao Shi said made sense. The old man had a bad temper and would not care about anything when he was angry. But when he calmed down a little, he would probably take his life back.
"Where should I hide?"
"Hide as far away as possible from Zhaotong." Cao Shi was silent on the phone again, and this time the silence was very long. A full three minutes passed before he tentatively said: "Master Tian, yes
I don’t know what I should say.”
"We've already reached this point, is there anything else we should say?" I smiled to myself, my mouth full of bitterness: "Is there anything worse than collecting it?"
"You have to keep this sentence in your heart and never say it to anyone. I risk my life to tell you this." Cao Shi lowered his voice subconsciously and said word by word: "Master Tian, I think,
Someone is hurting you."
"who!?"
"This is just my guess. Putting aside what happened between Master Mian and Lao Luo last time, this time the murder at the stall is a bit obvious. It is impossible for a discerning person not to see the flaws in it, and Master Ba can naturally see it too.
So I said, you hide away for now, maybe Master Ba will change his mind in an hour."
Who is harming me? I had a vague feeling in my heart that something was wrong. After Cao Shi reminded me, it suddenly dawned on me that everything including Wei Mian's incident last time was directed at me.
"You must be careful. I will try my best to speak for you here. It is not an urgent matter for you to hide temporarily. It is best not to call me casually. You know, I work under Mr. Ba, and sometimes it is not so convenient.
.I will investigate this matter about Zhao Fox, and don’t worry about the stall. Jiangbei will deal with the aftermath.”
After hanging up the phone, I seemed to have had most of my energy and energy drained from my body, and I felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Ma Dad didn't hear clearly the specific conversation between me and Cao Shi, and he became very anxious when I hung up the phone.
Asked, I looked at him and weakly repeated it to him. Now he and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope, and there is no need to hide anything anymore.
"I'm wronged!" Ma Dad was sad and angry: "Zhao Fox would even put such a shit basin on my head and kill me! If he really killed me, I might as well just die to save the trouble! This matter
I can't finish the calculation, I want to reason with him! The fate treasure is still the letter I called Jiangbei to report. How can I be so heartless? After reporting the letter, I will kill people and get goods..."
Ma Dad’s skills are all in one word. He talks very lively, grandly, and tragically, but as soon as he turns around, he discusses with me where to hide first. In the end, we decided to leave Zhaotong and find a place to live in Guangdong.
, there are a large number of foreigners there, and it is easy to hide, so we can wait to avoid the limelight before making plans. As long as the old man comes to his senses, I can save my life. I can only investigate those miscellaneous bad things slowly.
I have been thinking about Cao Shi's words, he said that someone harmed me. I don't deny this point of view. I suffered great injustice due to the black box incident, and this time, Zhao Huxu almost blatantly framed me. But I
I can't figure it out, there is no enmity or enmity between me and Zhao Huxu, he has no motive to harm me, and he alone cannot bring me down.
In other words, there is a dark hand hidden behind Zhao Fox, who is trying every possible means to force me to a dead end. This time, he seems to have succeeded.
