C52 (1/2)
Unexpectedly, Ji Xiang did not recognize Duan Hui, and even had not heard of his name before. Zhu Yingqiong and I could not help but look at each other, revealing expressions of extreme astonishment.
What was going on? Duan Hui had clearly said that he was from Zhanyuan Company, but why didn't Ji Xiang recognize him?
Has he been lying to us all this time?
However, he knew about the internal conflict like the back of his hand. If he wasn't someone from Zhenyuan's company, how would he know so much about it?
Or was it that Ji Xiang was lying to us again?
The current Ji Xiang is no longer that crazy woman. She is young and beautiful and resolute, her thoughts meticulous, if not she would definitely not be in charge of such a huge stall in Zhenyuan company. However, she has no reason to lie to us.
Although David did not know any of the Zhen Yuan company's people, he knew that after the internal strife, only four people survived: Hu Guangzu, the old man and the two of them. Duan Hui was not one of them!
Damn it, the way things are developing has already exceeded our imagination. If Duan Hui isn't from Zhenyuan Corporation, then who the hell is he? And why lie to us? What was his purpose?
No one had heard of the name Duan Hui before, so they were all at a loss when they heard it. I then told them about our meeting with Duan Hui, which was immediately negated by Ji Xiang after hearing it, ”That's impossible, he was right about all the people I brought out this time. But how could Duan Hui be the only one who doesn't know about this?”
Hai Yang said, ”Why are you thinking so much? Why don't you just grab him and ask him clearly?”
I spread my hands and said, ”God knows if he's alive or dead. He must have his reasons for tricking us. If he's not dead, we must be vigilant when we meet him again in the future!”
Everyone nodded. I turned my head and asked the sea what happened after we split up.
Hai Yang's face lit up when she heard that. ”Damn! Speaking of this, I've been afraid for three days and three nights already. It's so f * cking dangerous. I almost went up to heaven like an egret …”
When the miasma began to settle, the sea took the injured fellow by the arm and led him, but the fellow was dead before long, and the sea had no choice but to let him go, but to look back and see that we were all gone.
The miasma was too strong, even Hai Yang felt dizzy. He didn't have the energy to find anyone, so he could only keep charging forward. Who knew if he was lucky or if his ancestors were buried heavily.
There were many structures similar to temples in the ruins. It was unknown if they were built by the People of White Kingdom or others, but the moment he charged into the temple, he fainted.
By the time he woke up, the miasma had already dispersed. He started to look for people on his way back, but after searching for a whole two days, he was still unable to find anything.
In the ancient city, he was attacked by the Beastmen, and then he fell into the underground tunnel. In a daze, he crashed into a crack in the mountain and found a dark river, he thought that he found the underground entrance and followed the dark river, but he was ambushed while resting and kicked into the dark river, and was carried away by the water.
The person who ambushed him was that Japanese man wearing a gas mask!
The moment he was swept into the dark river, the water current was simply too strong, and he was immediately swept into the dark river with Underground City, then was saved by Ji Xiang and David who were hiding by the dark river. Once the two sides started talking, the sea immediately knew about the fake Ji Xiang.
Originally, he wanted to bring David and Ji Xiang and escape, but in the end, he met the pursuers of the Beastmen at the bottom of the earth. After firing a few shots in succession, he brought the two of them and escaped.
The gunshots Zhu Yingqiong and I heard earlier were caused by the sea, so they were forced to hide in Fort House. Originally, we wanted to wait for the Beastmen to retreat and return, but in the end, Zhu Yingqiong and I charged in again.
After I heard this, I cursed, ”You're too f * cking ungrateful, your father has been shouting outside the door for a long time. You took so long to open the door, and you want me to die to inherit my inheritance?”
Hai Yang laughed, ”Sanjin, let's be reasonable, we can't blame this on you, these beastmen are so clever at learning from humans, we thought that the beastmen had purposely barged into the door in order to trick us out, and then we saw you two coming out from the crack in the door.”
I didn't really blame the sea, but I heard from the ocean that the way he came in was completely different from ours. Zhu Yingqiong and I led the way, hence we found the Sky Cavern, and gradually we came in. The sea had fallen into a hidden river, and was swept up into the ground by the Dark River.
I originally thought that Fourth Uncle and Monk would be together with the sea, but now it seems that the odds are against Fourth Uncle and the rest. I wonder if the old fox's body can hold up.
Hai Yang knew my worry and comforted me, ”You are f * cking only tearing up because of your lute, who the hell is Fourth Master Xing? ”Old Jianghu, Cyan Faced Ghost and a bald donkey from the Shaolin Temple beside him. They might not die even if we die. Just you wait, it might not be long before they find us.”
Even though I knew that this was Hai Yang's way of comforting me, my heart had indeed relaxed by quite a bit. Worrying was unnecessary, but now I still had to think of a way to find the old gramps. After all, there were too many mysteries on my body.
Hai Yang teased me and said that I had twin brothers and that there would be people who would split the wealth with me in the future, but I clearly remembered that ever since my old man started gambling on stones and ran to Burma, my old lady had remarried not long after. I have been by my old man's side ever since I was young, and I am very clear on whether I have twin brothers or not.
I wish there was such a brother, but looking at the situation, there must be more hidden secrets!
Previously, I had suspected that the Ji Xiang in front of me was very possibly the same as the crazy Ji Xiang. She was the one who had been faking insanity, but after coming into contact with them, I realized that they were indeed two different people.
