"What else? You keep saying that you are doing what you should do, but what have you found after so long? Last time you told me that you had caught clues, but now? Have the clues become a web and the traces of horses have disappeared?
?" Qiao Meng was furious, and all the pressure he had received these days was revealed at this moment.
Obviously, he did not expect that today's meeting would turn out like this. The mysterious boss looked so overwhelmed for the first time. He originally thought that Qiao Meng wanted to intervene in this matter, but he did not expect that there was such a reason.
"Listen to me, I really don't know that the mastermind behind the scenes is targeting you. Maybe I harmed you." The mysterious boss said with some self-blame.
"Stop it, don't do this to me now, are you afraid that if I just quit, I won't have a substitute to cover you? Don't worry, I won't quit until I completely stop this person, but now I want to add one
Conditions." Qiao suddenly stood up and walked to the mysterious boss and said.
"What conditions?"
"Take off the mask, now."
Qiao Meng already had a vague feeling that the face under the mask must be something he had seen before. He didn't want to guess anymore. All the doubts these days were driving him crazy, so now he had to find a way to vent.
point.
"Does this have to be done?" the mysterious boss asked helplessly.
"Yes, otherwise I will quit. I won't lose anything by working under you, but I don't know if Gulou City can last that long." Qiao Meng said very firmly.
"Okay, as you wish, but please remember what you said after reading this and maintain a normal mentality." After the mysterious boss gave the final reminder, he slowly took off the mask on his face.
Gulu——
Seeing his true face, Qiao Meng couldn't help but swallow hard. He didn't expect that his suspicion was actually right. Looking at this face, he felt as if he was dreaming, and he even reached out to reach out.
Touch it.
"I didn't expect it to be you. You really know how to play." Qiao Meng shook his head and clicked his tongue.
"Have you ever doubted me? But you're not sure?" the mysterious boss chuckled.
"Baidu, you are really good at playing. You first appeared in front of me pretending to be an innocent service worker, and slowly integrated into my life. Then you used your original identity to trade with me, and you have always been by my side. You can find out
What clues are there, are you kidding me?" Qiao Meng's expression was extremely disdainful.
"Qiao Meng, now that you know my identity, you should be satisfied, right?" Baidu asked, ignoring Qiao Meng's sarcasm.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied, how could I be dissatisfied? Your acting skills are really good. If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't completely hide some of your temperament, I really wouldn't have suspected it." Qiao Meng said as if he was mocking himself.
Now he feels like a fool. He actually wanted to cultivate others and get close to others at the beginning. He didn't expect that all of this had been planned long ago.
"Qiao Meng, I hope you understand your current situation. I have no ill intentions from the beginning to the end when I approach you. I just fancy your talents. I also sincerely want to give you half of the property in Gulou City, because you deserve this."
Deal." Baidu reminded sternly.
"I don't need you to tell me, Boss Bai, it's so kind to call me Brother Qiao in front of others. Don't worry, I will continue to complete the agreement." After Qiao Meng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, I really treat you as a brother." Baidu said extremely seriously.
Qiao Meng ignored him and left directly. He couldn't accept the fact that he was deceived so easily. No matter what the reason was, just deceiving him would be touching the bottom line.
Now he thinks that all Baidu's previous behaviors were so ridiculous, including not knowing anything. There are too many people acting around him, and he himself is playing different roles, and the pressure in his heart is too great.
After getting in the car, Qiao Meng's expression was obviously bad. Lan Hai didn't dare to say anything when he saw it, and just waited quietly for him to give orders.
"The venue." There was about ten minutes of silence. Qiao Meng felt that there was nowhere he wanted to go before he gave the order.
The afternoon competition is finally about to begin. From the original several thousand people, there are now only twelve people left. The huge changes in just three or four days have made many people feel sad, especially the newcomers who have experienced the competition for the first time and feel the cruelty of the competition.
Sex, only three people among a thousand people.
"Everyone, I now need to announce the changes that have occurred in the competition. Since the Tianwaitian Association suddenly submitted an application to withdraw from the competition two hours ago, our organizers unanimously decided to hold the finals this afternoon after unanimous discussion." The host said there were still five days left.
Within about a minute, he was already on stage with a microphone announcing the news.
Everyone at the scene was shocked by the news. Qiao Meng didn't believe that such a thing would happen, and he couldn't understand why he had withdrawn from the competition at this juncture. Has the goal been achieved? Or is there something else?
Special tasks need to be performed?
In short, no matter what the reason was, Qiao Meng had to make people keep an eye on the people of the Tianwaitian Association immediately, otherwise he would probably lose all the clues immediately. He quickly called Li Tianyuan before the game started.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Qiao Meng said anxiously.
Baidu who was standing aside noticed something unusual about him and came to him and asked, "What happened?"
Qiao Meng, who didn't really want to talk to him at first, saw that Li Tianyuan didn't answer the phone, so he had no choice but to say: "Boss Bai, aren't you very capable? Now that the person from the Tianwaitian Association has withdrawn from the competition, there must be some conspiracy. Why don't you still?"
Hurry up and send someone to investigate, they are probably the ones behind this."
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Baidu complained and immediately sent a message on his mobile phone.
Now both of them wish they could pursue this clue themselves, but they cannot withdraw from the competition for no reason like the people from Tianwaitian, because it cannot be explained or explained at all.
"Okay, please get the remaining nine contestants ready. The district finals will begin soon." the host reminded.
Everything is still the same. The difference is that the people competing have lost their initial motivation and interest. This year can be said to be the most ridiculous. For the first time, the top players have withdrawn from the competition, and the most promising players have no intention of competing.
The results of the competition came out quickly. Qiao Meng won the first place without any suspense, Baidu got the second place, and Lan Hai got the third place.
The two of them couldn't wait to leave as soon as it was over. They didn't even bother to attend the award ceremony. In the end, Mr. Tian and Mr. Mo received it on their behalf, and they were criticized a lot for this.
"Have you found any information over there?" Qiao Meng asked.
"My people found a lot of things in an abandoned factory. I don't know what the situation is. Let's go and take a look first." Baidu said.
Afterwards, the two of them drove their own cars and headed there together. Although they had not yet reached a complete reconciliation, Qiao Meng still let go of his worries and focused on the overall situation.
As soon as the two of them arrived at their destination, they remembered Qiao Meng's phone call. Qiao Meng opened his mouth and said, "Hey, why did you only know to call me now?"
"How are you talking? I just had an important government meeting to hold. Can you please call me?" Li Tianyuan said very dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, why don't I talk to you so much? You are the mayor. You didn't have time to investigate the news that I had the mastermind behind it. Fortunately, I have my own means, otherwise the day lily would be cold by the time you wait."
Qiao Meng is no longer so afraid of Li Tianyuan. His identity is no longer the unknown person he used to be.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Forget it, keep an eye on me now." Li Tianyuan was immediately shocked when he heard the news.
"Of course I know." Qiao Meng said and hung up the phone directly.
No longer thinking about other things, I followed Baidu into this dilapidated factory and found that a lot of porcelain had been moved out, and they were all the same color with almost no difference.
Not only that, there were dozens of volumes of ancient paintings on the other side. Qiao Meng opened them and looked at a few of them, but there was no difference. The imitations were almost watertight. Just by seeing this, he already knew that it was definitely the work of the mastermind behind the scenes. He
It turned out that his hand had already reached the provincial capital.
"This is the third time I've seen such super-A fakes. They were all made by him. This man is too scary." Qiao Meng closed his eyes and said.
"I didn't know there was such a thing." Baidu was surprised by this.
"Please, did you, the big boss, tell me your identity at that time? What kind of agreement was there? Would I tell you so much?" Qiao rolled his eyes at him.
Baidu smiled awkwardly, knowing that what he did before was not quite right, but what could be done? He could only do that under the circumstances.
Beep--Qiao Meng's phone rang again. When he saw it, it was an unknown number, but he still moved to answer it.
"Hey, who are you?" Qiao Meng asked first.
"You've always wanted to find me, haven't you? Are you happy that I've taken the initiative to find you now?" A man's voice came from the phone.
"It's you, the mastermind!" Qiao Meng said loudly.
"Haha, this title is really interesting. I like it." The man said happily.
"What do you want to do? If you are coming for me, you don't have to worry so much." Qiao Meng was very angry.
"You? You are not worthy of being dealt with as a single target right now, although it is indeed a threat that is difficult to control." The man still acknowledged Qiao Meng's strength.
"I'm just calling you to tell you not to participate in a chess game that shouldn't and doesn't belong to you. It's like placing chess pieces on a chess board." The man said very sharply.
"you…"
Dududu——
Qiao Meng wanted to say something else, but the call had been hung up. When he tried to call again, he was not in the service area. He knew that the other party must be trying to prevent the signal from being tracked back.
"How's it going?" Baidu asked.
"Nothing, he asked me not to participate in chess games that I shouldn't enter." Qiao Meng said displeased.
Now they are like headless flies, all clues have been cut off, and no one from the Tianwaitian Association has been found, so everything can only be started over.
After the competition was over, there was no point in staying in the provincial capital, so they decided to return to S city.
