Chapter 125 Qionglou 5
Old Mrs. Huo realized something was wrong when she learned that Jiang Xinxin, Zhang Qiling, and Aning had disappeared. But by the time she received the news from Siguniang Mountain confirming that the three of them had disappeared on their own initiative, it was too late. She had completely lost any news of Zhang Qiling.
Old Mrs. Huo had been tricked and of course she had to vent her anger, and the Wu family's branch in Changsha became a ready-made target. Unfortunately, although Wu Sanxing and Jie Lianhuan pretended to disappear, Wu Xie had more important things to do at this moment, so of course the two of them had to come out to stabilize the situation, so Old Mrs. Huo completely lost her old business in Changsha.
Huo Xiuxiu also knew that her family had suffered heavy losses, so she hurried to persuade Old Lady Huo. However, she also knew that it was because of her lack of ability that even Xie Yuchen, who grew up with her, did not even think of taking her with her this time. She even had the idea of clearing the Huo family's name, so she kept making small moves in private, which changed the views of the stubborn old elders of the Huo family towards her.
But Huo Ling is still a knot in her heart. Even though Wu Xie had hinted to her before that he saw a long-haired forbidden woman in the Golmud sanatorium, she still couldn't believe that the other person was her aunt Huo Ling. Even after she knew that the archaeological team members in Banai had been replaced, she still believed that the person who turned into a forbidden woman in Golmud was a fake Huo Ling, and her real aunt was hiding in the dark like Chen Wenjin, Wu Sanxing and others.
Huo Xiuxiu didn't know that Old Lady Huo had long regretted raising her to be too naive, and had secretly transferred a lot of property abroad, just in case she was suddenly gone one day and Huo Xiuxiu could no longer control the Huo family, she could still use the properties transferred abroad and live a stable and wealthy life.
As expected, Huo Xiuxiu's little test brought out quite a few people with ulterior motives. By the time old lady Huo reacted, she was too busy cleaning up her own family, let alone taking care of Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie and the others. So except for a little harassment from Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen's forces, Zhang Qiling and Jiang Xinxin were very safe.
Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen had the things prepared by Jiang Xinxin, so they found the password of the mechanism very smoothly. Although the way to obtain the password was a bit difficult, the cooperation between the two of them only wasted time.
Fatty and Aning, the two people who are in charge of coordinating and communicating between the two sides respectively, are very worried. They have to worry about the safety of the people on both sides and ensure the security of the communications in between. It seems easy, but in fact, there are many things to worry about.
The Zhang Family Ancient Building was transformed based on a natural karst cave. It is unknown how far this natural cave extends inside, especially the nearly one kilometer section near the entrance which has not been tidied up. You have to be extra careful when you step in, as you may slip easily if you are not careful.
There are stalagmites with spikes on both sides. If you fall hard, you will at least have internal injuries. Fortunately, there are only Zhang Qiling, Jiang Xinxin and two of Aning's men going this way. If there were more people, there might be casualties at the entrance.
Zhang Qiling had completely forgotten the route into the Zhang family's ancient building, and the Qilin tattoo on his body was of no help. Fortunately, Jiang Xinxin's spiritual sense was strong, and she could always find the correct path as she walked and explored, so she walked all the way to the first door lock. Even though the four people in the team killed a lot of so-called "Mitra" like Amber, they only lost some physical strength.
The image on the wall here suddenly came over to Siguniang Mountain. Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen began to try the password intensively, and it was not until the afternoon that they finally figured it out. They passed the first door in Banai smoothly, and the second door was also smooth, but there was a slight accident at the third door. Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen did not notice that there was a bulge on the wall that was stuck, so they sent the photo to Banai.
And Aning's two subordinates were very quick. When Wu Xie called, they had been inside for almost half an hour. Aning almost ran into the cave entrance and kept calling on the intercom. But when she really went deep into the cave along the traces left by Zhang Qiling and Jiang Xinxin, she found that the road inside was blocked...
Wu Xie was already in a state of disarray when he came down from Siguniang Mountain. Although Fatty was very worried, he still cheered up and comforted everyone, saying, "There is no bad news from Aning, which means that things are not as difficult as we thought. And what kind of person is Brother? In the past, he would have been a god!"
Fatty still had some rationality left. After all, Jiang Xinxin's affairs could not be spoken out in public. Wu Xie also understood this, and after listening to Fatty's words, he really perked up.
"Then let's go and meet up with Aning. They say three heads are better than a Zhuge Liang. We three do have some quick wits sometimes."
Xie Yuchen saw that Wu Xie had perked up and turned around to start making arrangements for the trip to Banai. The Xie family had caught quite a few people with ulterior motives this time, and it was the first time he felt that those old guys in the family could still be useful. Although they usually only focused on the petty profits, when it really came to everyone's interests, those old guys seemed quite "loyal".
Right now, the Huo family is in some internal turmoil, and Huo Xiuxiu and Huo Youxue are almost fighting each other to death. However, the Wu family and the Jie family have already caught a lot of clues and directly attacked, catching the Wang family off guard. In particular, Jie Yuchen took the time to report that the Wang family was conducting human experiments.
When Aning, Wu Xie, Fatty and Jie Yuchen found the Zhang family's ancient building, Jiang Xinxin was eating beef hotpot downstairs with Zhang Qiling and Aning's two men. The aroma was so overbearing that everyone could smell it before they even entered the door.
The fat man was walking in front. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, he almost shed tears. In order to hide his abnormality, he stepped forward and took the bowl and chopsticks from Zhang Qiling's hand. He pushed Zhang Qiling away with his buttocks, stuffed food into his mouth and said angrily: "You are so bad, little brother! Tian Zhen cried countless times behind your back because of what happened between you and Miss Jiang, and you actually had hotpot here!"
When Aning's two subordinates saw Aning, they stood up with their mouths full of oil and greeted Aning, which made Aning's mouth twitch.
Seeing people coming, Jiang Xinxin waved her hand and added three stools, three sets of bowls and chopsticks, and some beef, mutton and seafood. "If you have anything to say, talk after you're full."
While preparing the dipping sauce, Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen looked at the Zhang family's ancient building. It looked like a wooden building, no more than six or seven stories high. They didn't know whether the ancient building had its own lighting equipment or whether it was something made by Jiang Xinxin. Anyway, it seemed that the area within the ancient building was brightly lit. If they were not sure that the ancient building was built underground, they would have suspected that they were outside.
