Only Mr. Hong was still in high spirits and asked me:
"Xiao Liuye, although we didn't get the painting, we did get three ancient coins. I guess those things are worth a lot of money..."
No one responded to Mr. Hong's words.
Everyone either looked sleepy or had their eyes closed to rest.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Mr. Hong pushed me and said:
"Tell me, do we need to plan how to get the painting from Zheng Ruhuan?"
I looked at Mr. Hong dumbfounded.
Who is Zheng Ruhuan? The gambling king of Bashu.
He is different from Qin Sihai. Qin Sihai was involved in the cause of my father's death.
So, I did it knowing that I couldn’t do it.
Moreover, as early as when he was in Luda, Zheng Ruhuan sent people to think about painting.
This shows the importance of this painting to him.
Now that he has obtained it, how can he give up the painting again?
The most important thing is that this is Zheng Ruhuan's territory.
What should I fight with him for? My life?
I will never risk my life because of a painting.
What I want is to call Yang Ximing after I wake up.
Tell him the whereabouts of the painting, and I will definitely not care about the rest.
Seeing my firm attitude, Mr. Hong didn't say anything more.
But He Xiaoshi, who was sitting next to me, suddenly asked:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, we spent so much effort from Luda to Bashu, but in the end we still couldn't get this painting. Don't you feel regretful?"
Looking out the window, I looked indifferent.
Pity!
Of course it’s a pity!
But no one’s life can be complete and without regrets.
As soon as He Xiaoshi finished speaking, Xiaoduo on the side suddenly said:
"Isn't it just a painting? I'll figure it out!"
I immediately remembered how Xiaoduo was downstairs in the hotel today, arranging for everyone.
I found that this little girl has more and more ideas now.
Thinking of this, I immediately said:
"Xiaoduo, this matter is over now, no one is allowed to mention it anymore. I'm going to take care of some small things these two days, and you can just take a stroll around Chengdu. After that, we'll go back to Habei!"
For us now, the safest place is Habei.
Xiaoduo smiled and did not answer my words.
And the little things I mentioned are all related to Xiaoduo.
After a bumpy journey, we finally arrived at the hotel.
Everyone yawned and got out of the car, ready to go upstairs to take a good bath and rest.
As soon as I walked up the steps, I didn't even wait until I entered the revolving door.
Suddenly, I heard an old voice coming from behind:
"You two liars, stop here!"
This voice is all too familiar to me.
It was also the owner of this voice who made me try and fail for the first time in Thousand Gates.
Kanye!
Everyone turned around and saw Kanye standing by the flower pond nearby.
He pointed his finger at me, but stared at Mr. Hong.
Obviously, his liar was referring to the two of us.
When she saw it was Kanye, Xiaoduo pouted, deliberately pretending to be angry, and said:
"Old man, what are you doing here? Do you want to have a bet with me?"
As soon as he heard Xiaoduo speak, Kanye stepped back repeatedly.
His palm, which only had three fingers, was shaking continuously.
"No bet, I won't bet with you, don't come here! I want to find these two liars!"
While talking, Kanye had already arrived at the car.
Looking at that posture, as long as Xiaoduo takes a step forward, Kanye can turn around and run away.
Mr. Hong and I looked at each other, and Mr. Hong immediately stopped Xiaoduo who was about to scare Kanye.
He strode down the steps and said to Kanye:
"Lao Kan, why do you call me a liar?"
Kanye's eyes widened and he lifted his body.
The messy half-white hair also trembled.
"I have asked many people on the road in the past few days, but no one knows who Melo lost to. I even asked Zheng Ruhuan, the gambling king of Bashu!"
Kanye's words shocked us.
Mr. Hong asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Do you know Zheng Ruhuan?"
Kanye immediately shook his head:
"I've heard of it, but I don't recognize it!"
"Then how could he tell you?"
Mr. Hong’s question is also a question for all of us.
When he said this, Kanye seemed a little proud.
He raised his white eyebrows and said proudly:
"That's not easy! I went to their place and in less than two hours, I picked on thirteen of their dark lights. Do you think Zheng Ruhuan will tell me?"
Absolutely!
Absolutely amazing!
What Kanye said made me admire and envy him at the same time.
You know, winning thirteen people in a row is not as easy as you think.
After all, everyone has some special skills when it comes to making dark lights.
If there is a slight mistake, it will be a complete failure.
Kanye not only won thirteen games in a row, but he also did so in less than two hours.
Except for Mr. Liu, I have never seen this technique and confidence before.
"Did he tell you personally?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I mention him?"
Kanye rolled his eyes at Mr. Hong.
I am a bit dumbfounded, Zheng Ruhuan, who is the gambling king of Bashu.
But in Kanye's words, he seems to be just a nobody worth mentioning.
Mr. Hong looked back at me, our eyes met, and I nodded slightly.
"Lao Kan, since you tell me the truth, I won't hide it from you, Mr. Hong. Come here..."
"what?"
Kanye looked at Mr. Hong in confusion.
"Look at you, what are you afraid of? Let me tell you why we came to Bashu!"
Kanye glanced around and said:
"You are surrounded by your friends, just say, I won't go!"
I know that Kanye is still worried about Xiaoduo.
"Okay, I'll say it. In fact, we are also tracking down who defeated Merlot. Now we have some clues. Seeing that you are quite aboveboard. So, follow us. There will be more in the future.
I’ll tell you the news as soon as possible!”
Mr. Hong's words shocked me.
You know, the investigation into the cause of my father's death.
I have never told anyone, including Mr. Hong.
The reason why I did this was because I really didn't want to involve them too much.
Kanye also looked surprised. He widened his eyes and asked in confusion:
"Why are you looking for this person too?"
I saw Mr. Hong raising his head with a solemn look on his face.
There was even a bit of pain in his expression.
"Because, I am Mero's son. I want to avenge my father!"
