Peerless Xiaolong

Chu Yuan said as he and Guo Yuning came to the construction site.

A middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet walked over, followed by several people.

Guo Yuning let go of Chu Yuan and introduced: "Chu Yuan, let me introduce to you. This is Bai Jiang, chairman of Longjiang C&D Group in He County."

"Bai Jiang, this is Chu Yuan, Mr. Chu, a guest of the God of War Building." Guo Yuning specially used the God of War Building to introduce Chu Yuan.

This was done to reassure Bai Jiang.

Sure enough, Bai Jiang was a little flattered when he heard Guo Yuning's words: "Hello, Mr. Chu, I have admired you for a long time. If you have anything to say, please come to my office and talk to me."

"Mr. Bai, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Chu Yuan." Chu Yuan said.

"Okay, Chu Yuan, please..." Bai Jiang made a gesture of invitation.

……

Chu Yuan and Bai Jiang came to a simple office on the construction site.

The female assistant went over to make a few cups of tea.

Chu Yuan sat across from Baijiang, while Guo Yuning sat down next to Chu Yuan, holding their legs together.

Chu Yuan did not sell out: "Mr. Guo should have told you about the situation, right? I want to hear what you know about the Cao family in He County."

"I told you, do you want to inquire about the Cao family in He County?"

"I do know something about this matter, but that happened decades ago, and only those of us who were born and raised in He County know about it." Bai Jiang said with a smile.

Chu Yuan nodded and motioned for Bai Jiang to continue.

Then, Bai Jiang spoke: "The Cao family in He County originally had an ancestral hall for the Cao family in He County, and their population was quite prosperous. Later, something happened within the Cao family. It is said that the ancestral hall was smashed, and many people died. people."

"Ancestral hall?" Chu Yuan frowned.

"Yes, at that time, there were about [-] Cao family members in He County. There were three factions among them. The first faction was those who followed Cao Yuansheng, the second faction was Cao Fugui, and the third faction was Cao Wenshan."

"Three factions? What do you mean?" Guo Yuning was a little confused.

Bai Jiang explained: "You can understand it as three branches. At first, the relationship between these three branches was pretty good, and a temple fair was held in the ancestral hall every year."

"But later, I heard that something happened and many people died."

"What happened?" Chu Yuan looked at Bai Jiang and asked.

Bai Jiang thought for a while.

After a long delay, he said: "I also heard what my father said. I don't know exactly what happened, but many of them died."

"What about the others? Are there any?" Chu Yuan asked next.

"I don't know the specifics. In short, the warlord at the time also investigated this matter, and then let it go."

"Nowadays, there are basically not many people with the surname Cao in He County. Even if there are, they are from outside and have nothing to do with the Cao family."

Listening to these words, Chu Yuan fell silent.

"When did the incident you mentioned happen?" Chu Yuan asked.

"I don't know the exact time, but I estimate it must have been at least thirty years. We were still in chaos at that time, and most of the people who knew about it were old people."

Thirty years?

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said: "Thirty years, Cao Bao should be more than [-] years old."

"Chu Yuan, are you sure these can find where Cao Bao is hiding?" Guo Yuning leaned into Chu Yuan's ear and asked in a low voice.

At such a close distance, Chu Yuan could even smell her fragrance.

Chu Yuan did not answer Guo Yuning's words. He asked Bai Jiang again: "Boss Bai, do you know that the Cao family's ancestral hall still exists?"

"Where was it before?"

Bai Jiang was silent for a while: "The ancestral hall is still there, but no one has dared to go there in the past thirty years. I heard that it is haunted."

"There are no ghosts in this world. All ghosts, ghosts and snake gods are just imaginary." Chu Yuan replied.

"The ancestral hall is located on Beiwang Mountain in He County. This mountain is not big. It is a small peak of Baique Mountain. Because it is due north, it is called Beiwang Mountain by the locals."

"What do you mean by being haunted?" Guo Yuning interrupted Bai Jiang.

"After Mr. Cao disappeared, he said that there was a wandering Taoist who said that the feng shui in the ancestral hall was very good."

"As a result, some local people, and even many people in He County, buried their deceased family members near the ancestral hall."

"Over time, it became a mass grave and no one took care of it. It is said that someone went there several times at night and met a female ghost." Bai Jiang explained.

Just listening to these words, Guo Yuning's scalp was already numb.

Chu Yuan thought for a long time and then said to Bai Jiang: "Boss Bai, is there any other news?"

Bai Jiang really couldn't think of anything else, so he replied: "This is all I know now. Mr. Chu, but I want to remind you that you'd better not go to that ancestral hall."

"Lest you provoke any dirty things." Bai Jiang reminded.

"Okay, thank you very much, Boss Bai. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you." Chu Yuan stood up.

Bai Jiang smiled and didn't stay long.

Chu Yuan and Guo Yuning walked out of Bai Jiang's office.

Chu Yuan was very fast, and Guo Yuning trotted to catch up: "Chu Yuan, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you really going to that ancestral hall?"

"Don't scare me."

Guo Yuning's back felt numb. She would not dare to enter a place like this even if she was killed.

As Chu Yuan walked away, he said to Guo Yuning: "Cao Bao, after becoming like this today, I feel that things are far from as simple as I imagined."

"Didn't Bai Jiang say that? Many people in the Cao family suddenly died and disappeared. I feel that something big must have happened that year."

"But does this have anything to do with you looking for Cao Bao?" Guo Yuning asked with confusion on her face.

"Of course it is related. We must first find out Cao Bao's past before we can understand him better."

"So, no matter what, I have to go to this ancestral hall. Maybe I can find some clues about the disappearance of the Cao family inside." Chu Yuan replied.

"what?"

Guo Yuning was frightened.

"When are you going?"

"Immediately!" Chu Yuan didn't even think about it.

"now go?"

"You are sick. It is getting dark today. Do you have to wait until night to go? Why don't you go and go tomorrow." Guo Yuning looked at Chu Yuan and blocked Chu Yuan's way.

Bai Jiang said it was haunted, but that still didn't scare Chu Yuan?

Monsters, ghosts, and snake gods are the most terrifying things for Guo Yuning.

Chu Yuan gave Guo Yuning a roll of his eyes: "I didn't let you go, why are you in a hurry? I'll go there by myself later, and you can go back and do your work if you have nothing to do."

Guo Yuning grabbed Chu Yuan again: "Don't I care about you? Why don't you rest here tonight and I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Also, I'll wash her off at night and let you sleep in her arms without any clothes on." Guo Yuning leaned into Chu Yuan's ear and whispered.
