Well of Mystery

Chapter 157 The People Behind the Scenes

"It's those who want to use me to blackmail Boss Huang."

Li Mian replied.

Speaking of this, he suddenly called out to Huang Xiuqi who was not far away: "Qiqi, come here."

Huang Xiuqi turned around in astonishment, she understood what Li Mian's title meant.She looked hesitantly at Bai Xiuqi, then at Li Mian, and finally came over.

"Brother, why do you..."

Li Mian did not explain, and said directly to her: "Tell me what you heard and saw the night before yesterday."

Although Huang Xiuqi was still a little hesitant, she didn't resist. She thought about it a little bit, "I heard my dad counting the money." She said.

It is not incomprehensible that rich people have nothing to do with counting money for fun.However, counting money in the middle of the night seemed a little weird.

Huang Xiangyuan counted the money in the middle of the night, sighing while counting.All the counted money was put into the sack on one side, which looked bulging and heavy.

Huang Xiuqi is the kind of girl who can't hold anything in her stomach. She ran over to ask her father what happened.Huang Xiangyuan wanted to hide it at first, but in the end he couldn't hold back his daughter's insistence and revealed the secret.

"Someone on the island found out about your brother."

Because of his identity as a fugitive, Li Mian's existence is a secret to all residents on Rose Fire Island.Huang Xiangyuan didn't even tell Tang Yilang this secret, because he knew that Tang Yilang was messing with the island's finances, and a person short of money needed to be vigilant.

For a long time, Li Mian had lived in the desolate areas of the North Island, and these places were also areas where Huang Xiangyuan had explicitly prohibited other people from entering or leaving.And just as Jiang Chenglu had guessed earlier, there was also an abandoned freight wharf on the North Island. Every once in a while, he would provide Li Mian with some supplies necessary for life through this wharf.

In addition, Li Mian occasionally appeared in the Sea God Temple, taking away some food that was deliberately placed in the Sea God Temple.Three o'clock in the morning when the night market ends and the morning market has not yet started is a fixed time.At that time no one would know he had been there.

But he was still discovered, and it was more than one person.Huang Xiangyuan was forced to agree to negotiate with these people, and Tang Yilang was one of them.

Huang Xiuqi continued: "Although I strongly demanded to stay, my father wanted me to leave immediately. I couldn't resist him. So I pretended to be sent on board by Tang Yilang the next day, but I didn't go back."

"You went to Beidao Wharf?" Bai Xiuqi guessed, "Then told Li Mian about your father being threatened."

"That's right." Huang Xiuqi nodded: "We originally planned to wait until the dead of night to find my dad, but when we returned to the villa, we found that there was no one at home."

Speaking of things here, it has reached the most important place.Jiang Chenglu in the distance also finished his work and came over, holding something dark in his hand.

"Look, I found it on the fire ground." He flashed the charcoal-black thing in front of Bai Xiuqi: "It seems to be some kind of big insect, tsk tsk, there is everything on this island."

Bai Xiuqi ignored Jiangcheng Road and looked at Huang Xiuqi.Asked: "Boss Huang's people, are you hiding them?"

"Yes." The person who nodded was replaced by Li Mian: "We were still a step late when we arrived near the Sea God Temple from the tunnel. He had already fallen off the cliff. We helped him into the Sea God Temple to hide , but in the end he didn’t make it through.”

"Oh. I see!" Jiang Chenglu couldn't help but interjected: "Boss Huang's body is with you, so you will be surprised when you see the ID card that Boss Huang never leaves in the mouse's hand. But Then again, could it be that the mouse was really killed by Boss Huang?"

"My dad is not that kind of person!" Before he could speak, Huang Xiuqi immediately objected loudly: "Someone must have discovered the place where we hid him and stole the things. Maybe it's the mouse himself!"

"That's not the Huang Xiangyuan we know, it's just a body." Li Mian also corrected: "Their actions no longer represent the will of these people in life."

"Whose will does that represent?" Jiang Chenglu rubbed his chin, obviously realizing that this was the core issue.

"Wait a minute..."

Bai Xiuqi interrupted him again.Looking up at Huang Xiuqi and Li Mian: "Why did you rush from the villa to the Sea God Temple? Is it because you saw the lights on the cliff?"

"No, someone showed the way."

Huang Xiuqi's answer was a bit unexpected.

At three o'clock in the morning that day, there was actually a person sitting on the windy viewing platform.This person pointed out Huang Xiangyuan's whereabouts for Huang Xiuqi and Li Mian.

"Jane Tong?!"

When they heard this name, Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu looked at each other at the same time, and something thumped in their hearts.

"I did see Jian Tong leave the hotel that night." Jiang Chenglu recalled: "He also told us that he heard Tang Yilang talking on the phone with Boss Huang. He said that they might kill someone."

"What if Jian Tong fabricated this phone call?" Bai Xiuqi said while thinking, "Jian Tong led us step by step into the trap he designed, disrupting the thinking and judgment of all parties, so as to achieve what he wanted. The goal you want to achieve..."

"What's his purpose, let the Rose Fire Island tragedy repeat itself? Huh?!" Jiang Chenglu felt that his inference was a bit funny.But Li Mian and Huang Xiuqi didn't laugh.Bai Xiuqi didn't even smile.

Jiang Chenglu then touched his nose in embarrassment again: "Well...even if he really intends to do that, then at least there must be a motive."

"I'm going to ask Li Mian about this." Bai Xiuqi turned his head to the other side and looked at Li Mian: "You are the only one who has experienced that tragedy. Do you still remember how the tragedy happened on the island?"

For a minute or so, Li Mian did not speak.Just when Bai Xiuqi was about to think that he didn't remember anything at all, he finally heard a somewhat surprising response.

"...Jian Tong's real goal should be Tang Yilang."

----

At the same time, inside the hotel.

Although still unconscious, Huayang's physical condition has completely stabilized.He was removed from the bathtub and placed on a soft bed.Just as there were some tools and materials in Hutian, Shang Douxing started to repair Huayang's two broken fingers.

Huayin couldn't help much either, pacing back and forth on one side.Shang Douxing was annoyed by seeing it, so he simply kicked her out of Hutian.

As soon as he went out, Huayin obviously felt that something was wrong.

The sound insulation of the hotel room is not very good. Two days ago, there was a disturbance in the room next door, but at this moment, Huayin couldn't hear anything. Even the originally noisy downstairs could not be heard. There was no movement at all.

Where has everyone gone?

Hua Yin was suspicious, so she boldly opened the door and looked outside.As soon as she opened the door, she immediately smelled a strong smell.

The aroma is meaty.

After all, Huayin hadn't eaten for most of the day because she was worried about her brother's situation.The seductive fragrance floating in the air in front of me is simply a kind of destruction.She unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and went downstairs along the corridor, instinctively looking for the source of the aroma.

It was strange to say that the hotel lobby, which was bustling and bustling a few hours ago, was actually empty at this moment.The tables and chairs that were once full of islanders who had come to shelter from the wind now fell crookedly on the ground, and even the nine-color flower vase that Uncle Zong put on the window sill was also broken on the ground.Looking further into the distance, there were faint bloodstains on the ground and walls, which contrasted with the smell of meat in the air, making it extremely strange.

Huayin's heart was lifted into her throat little by little.Instinct told her that no matter who caused such a situation, she couldn't be its opponent, and the best way now might be to turn around and go upstairs, and go to Shang Douxing's pot sky to temporarily avoid the limelight.

But it can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime, Hu Tian has no way to move by itself.Hutian exists by relying on the spiritual power of Shang Dou Xing, if the spiritual power is too depleted or someone forcibly enters...

The more Huayin thought about it, the more disturbed she became, and at this moment, she suddenly found that there was another person sitting quietly in the corner of the hall.

"Luo Weilu?" Huayin recognized the blind man who had little sense of existence, and at the same time saw the big purple-black spider crawling on his arm.

"How can you use Gu?!" Hua Yin was startled: "It doesn't mean that only certain places can..."

"A specific place doesn't just refer to Miaojiang. Rose Fire Island is also a specific place."

The voice that answered her came from behind her.Hua Yin turned around in horror, and found that Jian Tong was standing at the door of Uncle Zong's room, looking at her expressionlessly.

"As early as twenty, no, maybe more than 70 years ago, people had already set up a barrier that could perform Gu skills on Rose Fire Island. These days I just walked around and repaired it. .”

"It's you?!" Huayin quickly realized: "You guys are all playing tricks here?"

"I'm sorry..." Luo Weilu apologized to her: "Although we also have reasons for doing this, these things are hurtful and unreasonable after all. The consequences and retribution...we will fully bear it."

"What are you talking about with her?" Jian Tong interrupted him impatiently: "Anyway, she won't be able to say anything soon."

"What are you going to do to me?!" Hua Yin's heart was in her throat, she stared at Jian Tong desperately, while backing away.

"I just want to ask you to do me a small favor."

Jian Tong pointed to the direction of the sea: "I need some trackers, but the number is far from enough. However, you are not ordinary, and one of you should be worth several others, especially the one named Jiang Cheng. Lu. Maybe he alone is enough."
