When Ma Long and Yaoyao rushed to the entrance of the abandoned air-raid shelter in the suburbs, they saw an anxious Chu Hongyan.
"Brother Xiao Ma, I'm sorry, we didn't take him seriously..." She looked uneasy and ashamed.
Ma Long comforted her a few words, patted her shoulder and said, "I can't blame you. It's just my lack of consideration. Let's take us to the scene first."
The three of them walked into the underground air raid shelter and arrived at the place where the Taoist boys were originally detained. There was no one inside.
Chu Hongyan explained: "We have interrogated the Taoist disciple. He is an ordinary person. He only became a disciple a month ago. We don't know the whereabouts of his master."
"Does he know how the Tao boy left here?" Ma Long looked at the gapless space and wondered, how could a living person escape suddenly?
"He said that the Taoist boy threw a piece of paper on the ground, and then the whole person disappeared." Chu Hongyan recalled.
"Ah!" Yaoyao suddenly said loudly, "It's the escape rune! He must have relied on this to escape. There is no other way except escape!"
It was the first time Ma Long heard about this rune. Now in his sea of consciousness, there are still many unblocked runes, but he also understands the power of the runes in a literal sense. "It turns out he still has runes hidden!
"He said accusingly, "I came here in a hurry last night and forgot to search myself. It was because I didn't think carefully."
Now that Tao Tong had escaped and the only clue was lost, the three of them couldn't help but look disappointed. They turned around and slowly returned to the ground and walked out of the air raid shelter.
"My father and Uncle Yuan Kai want to treat you to dinner." Chu Hongyan came out of the air-raid shelter and invited, "And I failed to complete the only task you assigned. My father also criticized me. I hope you can attend and join us.
Let’s have a meal, they both seem to have something important to discuss with you.”
Seeing Yaoyao's downcast expression, Ma Long had no intention of going back to school today. Instead of going home now, he might as well go and have a chat with Qing Ming's boss, hoping to get more information from him. So he agreed and took him with him
Then Yaoyao got into Chu Hongyan's car and drove to the hotel.
"I will get the driver's license you want as soon as possible." On the way, Chu Hongyan broke the silence and said to Ma Long.
This news made Ma Long a little happy. Susan went to work today, and he and Yaoyao went out. There was a car at home, and they both knew how to drive it. However, because they did not have a driver's license, they could only find a taxi. As long as they could get a driver's license
, it will be much more convenient to travel in the future.
Arriving at the door of the hotel, Ma Long saw that it was the Qiansheng Hotel again and thought to himself that their (underworld) society really pays attention to ostentation. They come to places like this every time they eat.
The person who greeted them was the same Manager Pang from last time. After Shen Bingbing's persuasion, his father let him go back to his job. Moreover, Qing Ming changed the owner again, and the previous conflict between Qing Ming and the hotel no longer existed.
Yuan Kai even wanted to thank the hotel for cooperating with Ma Long to catch the traitor in the group, otherwise he might not have seen the light of day yet.
It’s still the thirteenth floor, still the same room. Before entering, I heard loud noises inside. Standing at the door, Chu Hongyan couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “Dad and Uncle Yuan Kai met, and they were either fighting or fighting.
There is almost no time to be calm when you scold."
In the house, Yuan Kai was mocking Chu Hongyan's father for not taking a good look at the prisoners in Ma Long's custody. Mr. Chu was at a loss for words and could only use swear words to refute. It wasn't until Ma Long entered the house that the two stopped quarreling.
"Ah, Brother Xiao Ma is here." Boss Chu stood up and repeated his accusations about his dereliction of duty. Ma Long comforted him patiently, while Yuan Kai sneered at him.
After the three of them were polite, Boss Chu and Yuan Kai suddenly showed cautious expressions and said they wanted to discuss an important matter with Ma Long.
Before the two of them opened their mouths, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Yuan Kai shouted: "Come in!"
The door of the room opened, and three men walked in from the outside. Two of them pressed a man's arms on the left and right. After entering the room, he stumbled again. The man who was pressed knelt down. When he raised his head, he looked angry.
His face has only one eye.
When Ma Long saw him, he turned out to be One Eye, Chi Xuan's former second-in-command.
When Boss Chu saw this man, he was furious. He slapped the table, stood up, and shouted loudly: "One-eye, do you still recognize me!"
One Eye stared at his former boss, silent for a long time, but Ma Long found that there was no look of regret on his face. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then One Eye slowly said: "You can execute me..."
After that, he lowered his head again.
Boss Chu came to Duyan, kicked him to the ground, and cursed loudly: "This kick is to punish you for usurping my position before!" Then another kick, "This kick is for you to chase me, my dear."
My daughter, I'm giving you an advantage!" He added another kick, "You saved my life with one eye, if I don't kill you, you can leave!",
Ma Long and Duyan were both surprised after hearing this. They didn't expect that the angry Boss Chu would be so tolerant and let him go so easily.
One Eye lay on the ground and looked at Boss Chu hesitantly. Boss Chu cursed impatiently: "Get out of here, we have to talk about business here. You know, we Chi Xuan never kill our own people! Get out of here!"
"As he said that, he kicked One Eye hard on the back.
"I have saved your life, and you have given me a high enough status and honor. We are even..." One Eye stood up as he spoke, and suddenly made a move like lightning, leaned forward and stepped through the door that had just pressed him.
A dagger was found on a man's body.
Ma Long thought the opponent was about to counterattack, and was about to step forward to stop him, but One Eye swung his sword and cut off two fingers on his left hand. Ma Long stopped and looked at him blankly, surprised by his unexpected move.
"I have stayed in Chixuan for twenty years, and I have to leave something behind." After Duyan said, he covered the wound on his left hand and slowly walked out.
Several people in the room watched One-Eye leave without saying a word. Finally, Yuan Kai exclaimed: "What a man!"
Boss Chu also nodded, a rare consensus between the two.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Kai added: "It's a pity that I followed the wrong master!"
Before the two were about to argue again, Ma Long quickly grabbed the two of them, sat between them, changed the subject, and asked: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to discuss something big with me? What was it specifically?
Let’s talk now.”
The two people who had just suppressed One Eye closed the door and left. Mr. Chu grunted and said nothing for a long time. Yuan Kai had no choice but to say:
"It's like this. Boss Chu and I discussed it all night last night and decided to merge the two groups and elect you as our boss!"
