In a remote town in southern Yunnan, thousands of miles away…
Within the mountain, the scenery was picturesque . A villa was built on the hillside . Due to the geographical situation, it retained the original nature of the ecological system as much as possible, trying not to destroy trees and rock formations .
In a wooden house, a young man under 30 and a middle-aged man, who looked over 40, were sitting across from each other . There was a pot of tea on the table that had a light fragrance .
“What do you mean by what you said just now?” Guo Zhenghe said .
“Secretary Guo, I am afraid, I am really afraid, ” the man said . “I am sick, and my daughter is sick . Thank you . If not for your introduction, my daughter and I would now be lying in bed or even dead . If we can live, the amount of money no longer matters . I have already transferred the mountain away . ”
Guo Zhenghe did not speak . He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea . He stared at the man in front of him for a long time . He finally said, “I see . Come back then . ”
“Thank you, Secretary Guo . ” The man rose and bowed to Guo Zhenghe . “If you have any other matters for which you need me, please don’t hesitate to ask . But I can’t do this . ”
Guo Zhenghe waved his hand . After the man left, he sat alone in the room . After thinking for a long time, he said, “Interesting!”
The village was in a valley deep within the mountains . There were continuous peaks on both sides of it . There was only one way to get into and out of the mountains . Two men were halfway up one side of the mountain .
“Senior, this can’t be good,” Zhao Yinghao said . “If the Master’s uncle knows about it, we’ll be in trouble!”
“You’re just too careful, and you look down on Master,” Miao Qingfeng said . “He already knows . We’re just out to take a breather . We didn’t leave directly, so it’s OK . He’ll at most add three months to our grounding . ”
“More time?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“Why? Still thinking of revenge?” Miao Qingfeng responded .
“Of course, Master’s revenge must be paid back,” Zhao Yinghao said .
“Wait a minute,” Miao Qingfeng said . “What kind of person is that Wang Yao? How could he have such amazing skills?
“I only know his name, and that Master’s death has something to do with him . If not for him…” Zhao Yinghao did not continue speaking .
What happened that night was still vivid in his mind . His master wanted revenge, which would inevitably hurt the villagers in that village . Therefore, Wang Yao retaliated with thunderous means . They could not fight back at all .
“You may not be able to avenge him even with another 10 years of practice unless Master personally attacks,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“There’s no need to trouble Master’s uncle for that,” Zhao Yinghao said .
“Master has not been out of the mountain for five or six years,” Miao Qingfeng said . “He has been in meditation . He probably won’t go out in the next two years as well . ”
Caw! With a cry, a white crane flew up into the sky from the village . It soon came above their heads and circled them .
“Master told us to go down, so let’s go,” Miao Qingfeng said after staring at the bird a moment .
The two of them went down the mountain and came to the tallest wooden house in the valley . A man with a pale golden face sat on a futon .
“I asked you to meditate,” the man said . “Did you meditate up the hill?”
“Master, hehe, it’s too stuffy to stay in the house all the time,” Miao Qingfeng said with a laugh . “We went out for a breather . ”
“Did you really just want to go out and take a breather?” the middle-aged man asked with a smile .
“Yes,” Miao Qingfeng replied .
“Well, there’s something that needs to be done by reliable people,” the middle-aged man said . “It shall be the two of you . ”
“What’s the thing, Master?” Miao Qingfeng asked .
“There’s a Ganoderma lucidum I need . Bring it back to me,” the middle-aged man said .
“Ganoderma lucidum?” Miao Qingfeng asked .
“Yes, it’s not small too . It’s located here . ” The middle-aged man took out a note and handed it to him . “Bring it back in its entirety . ”
“Don’t worry, Master,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“Be careful . Safety first,” the middle-aged man said .
“Understood, let’s go, Junior,” Miao Qingfeng said .
The two men left the cabin . The middle-aged man breathed a long, somewhat weird breath, which dissipated three feet away .
“At last, we can go out and take a breather,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“Is the village far from this one?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“It’s not too far, about 62 miles away,” Mia Qingfeng said . “It’s a small county town on the edge . Clean up . We’ll go right away . ”
“Right now?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“Yes, what if Master changes his mind?” Mia Qingfeng asked .
The two gathered some necessities as quickly as possible and walked out of the village . Outside it was a dense jungle with a narrow road . Everyone going in and out of the village had to go take the path . Most people walked, though some road horses . It had been like this for centuries .
Zhao Yinghao seemed to hear something and suddenly stopped . He looked into the deep woods next to him . He asked, “Is someone there?”
“It’s alright,” Mia Qingfeng said . “It’s the guardian of the village . He knows us . He’s out to run errands at the command of the patriarch . ”
The woods were silent . There was no echo .
“Let’s go,” Mia Qingfeng said .
The two continued . They walked for nearly two hours before they saw a decent road, but there were no cars on it .
“Keep going,” Mia Qingfeng said .
After walking for more than an hour, they saw an old car by the side of the road . A man in his 50s was smoking as he leaned against the window .
“Uncle, can we get a ride?” Mia Qingfeng asked .
“Mountain people?” the man asked .
“Valley people,” Mia Qingfeng replied .
“Get in,” the man said .
The car started . It shook as it spewed black smoke and eventually jerked forward .
“Uncle, you should get a new car,” Mia Qingfeng said .
“Why?” the man asked . “I just reviewed it this year . ”
“Can it pass like this?” Mia Qingfeng asked .
“Of course, what do you think?” the man replied .
It took an hour to drive to the nearest town .
“Alright, I’ll let you off here,” the man said . “You’ll have to find your own way . ”
“Alright, thank you,” Mia Qingfeng said .
The man drove back along the same road in the shaking car .
“Ah, let’s go and find a place to have a drink first,” Mia Qingfeng aid .
“Drinking? What about the thing that Master’s uncle had asked us to do?” Zhao Yinghao asked .
“It’s alright . Somebody’s looking after that thing!” Miao Qingfeng smiled as he waved his hand . “After being grounded for such a long time, I haven’t drunk a single sip of alcohol . My tongue is going numb . ”
“Senior, we should drink less . It is not conducive for practice,” Zhao Yinghao said .
“Tsk, you’re young but such an antique,” Miao Qingfeng replied .
They found a restaurant and ordered several dishes and two bottles of wine . The senior hugged a bottle and drank from it as if he was drinking mineral water .
“Ah, so good!”
Thousands of miles away, in Dao…
“The Hou family has been so quiet lately!” Sun Zhengrong stood by the landing window and looked out at the scenery .
“I don’t know why, but they seem to want to let the matter rest,” Lin Sitao said .
“Letting the matter rest is not in line with their personality and habits,” Sun Zhengrong said . “Maybe they’re just waiting for the right time . After all, that one is quite busy at the moment and might not want to cause more trouble at this time . ”
Lin Sitao didn’t reply .
Sun Zhengrong changed the topic . “What’s the matter with that Sihai Trading Company?”
“We’re looking into it,” Lin Sitao said . “At least three people are known to have killed someone . ”
“That many?” Sun Zhengrong was surprised .
“Yes, one has been captured, and the other two are away,” Lin Sitao said . “They’re probably not coming back . ”
“What trade do they do?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“It’s mainly dealing in pharmaceuticals with a company in Dongying, along with health care products and so on,” Lin Sitao said .
“Dongying?” Sun Zhengrong was silent for a long time . “The head of that company is Jiro Musashi, right? Has he committed crimes here?”
“Yes, he harmed a girl,” Lin Sitao said .
“Cut off all our business dealings with them immediately,” Sun Zhengrong said .
“Yes,” Lin Sitao replied .
“On top of that, have somebody follow him,” Sun Zhengrong said .
“Noted . ” Lin Sitao withdrew from the room, leaving Sun Zhengrong standing alone in front of the window and looking out .
Knock! Knock!
Someone was knocking on the door . Sun Zhengrong said, “Enter . ”
Lin Sitao, who had just gone out, came in again .
“What’s wrong?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“We found someone selling organs,” Lin Sitao said with a bleak expression .
“Selling organs?” Sun Zhengrong’s face immediately turned gloomy . “Is it related to us?”
“It’s someone in the dark,” Lin Sitao said . “He’s been with Hao before . ”
“With whom?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“Dongying,” Lin Sitao said .
“He’s seeking death,” Sun Zhengrong angrily said . “Arrange for Hao to investigate this matter carefully, and go and find Director Du immediately!”
