Pan Zi frowned and said, "How come I don't know? Has the Third Master come back? When did he give the order?"
The man looked at the two of us and thought Pan Zi was making fun of him. He shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't play dumb with me. The thing is for you. Don't you know that?"
Pan Zi got angry and cursed, "Why would I lie to you? What did the Third Master say and when did he say it?"
When the man saw our expressions, he realized that we really didn't know. He was also surprised and said, "I don't know the details either. I heard it from Mr. Chu from the bank. He's right behind us. Go ask him."
Pan Zi groaned and led me through the narrow passage. At the end was an iron door that was not locked. I pushed it open and saw a simple office. On the guest sofa on one side, I saw a bald, greasy-faced middle-aged man smoking. When he saw us coming in, he threw his cigarette butt into the
He threw it on the ground, stepped on it to put it out and stood up.
Pan Zi greeted me, "Brother Chu." His attitude suddenly became respectful, and I immediately realized that this person was the one who brought the message to me from my third uncle.
He looked at Pan Zi and then at me, and said, "Why are you here only now? I've been waiting for you for two days."
Pan Zi told him what happened on the way, and without waiting for his response, he asked anxiously: "Brother Chu, what happened? How did we offend the people in the trading hall?"
Brother Chu said slowly, "Don't panic, nothing happened. This is what your Third Master wanted. He asked me to release some news about his business in the past few years to give the cell some excitement. Now the bureau has set up a special investigation team to investigate. I don't know what his intention is, but
It looks like he is creating obstacles for the other group of people."
"Another group of people?"
"Yes. Because of this move, the entire antique market is now implicated. All those who have business relations with your third uncle are under surveillance. As a result, it is difficult for those who did not prepare in advance to carry out activities. Your third uncle is buying time for you."
I looked at Pan Zi, not really understanding what the bald man said, "What time?"
The bald man shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either. "Your Third Uncle is a veteran, I can't figure out his tricks."
Pan Zi asked him, "Then I just heard Jiu Si outside say that some equipment was ready and that you arranged it. What's going on?"
Brother Chu said, "That's why your uncle brought you a message." He asked us to sit down, "In fact, your uncle didn't include your share of the equipment at the beginning. In other words, he prepared five sets of equipment, one of which was for himself."
He paused, and then said, "But when he called me, he also told me that he was not the only one doing what he did. There are others who are competing with him. The other party is not an easy target, so if he can't come back, this equipment will be given to you. No matter what,
You have to continue doing his work and not let another group of people get ahead."
Another group of people? I suddenly thought of the company that Aning belonged to. Could it be that Uncle San had set them up in the sea fight for this reason?
Pan Zi asked, "Did the Third Master say who the other group of people were?"
The bald man shook his head and said, "No. But I think the Third Master may have fallen into their hands now, otherwise he would have appeared long ago. It's a pity that we don't know anything now, otherwise I think no matter how powerful the other party is, we will be able to deal with it."
I cried out in my heart, and the bald man continued, "The place you want to go is the Hengshan Mountains in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin. The specific location can only be marked with coordinates. But I have prepared a local guide to take you there."
As for Changbai Mountain, the only thing we remember about Changbai Mountain at this stage is Wang Canghai's Yunding Palace. There is no doubt that Yunding Palace is somewhere in the Hengshan Mountains.
But why would I go to such a place? Why would I go to such a strange place without any reason, and in winter?
Seeing that my face had turned green, the bald man suddenly sighed and said, "To be honest, I am also confused, but I have thought about it carefully. The only thing you can do now is to follow the plan prepared by your Third Master to find clues. Otherwise, I guess you
I'm afraid Third Uncle won't be able to get through this."
Pan Zi patted me on the shoulder, turned around and asked, "So, what should we do next according to the Third Master's plan?"
The bald man said, "There are five of you in total. Get on the train to Jilin first. We will find a way to get your luggage there, and then there will be a car to take you to the next destination. The people were all contacted by the Third Master, and they are basically all here."
Pan Zi and I looked at each other. Jilin, it looks like we really have to go climb the snow-capped mountains.
The bald man said he would take care of all the details of our trip, so we didn't have to worry, just get on the road and be careful not to be spotted by the police . The schedule was very tight, we would rest in Changsha for one night, and he would send us directly to the train tomorrow, and the tickets and toiletries were all packed and ready. The other three people knew all the details, so if we had any questions, we could just ask them tomorrow.
This bald man's administrative ability is beyond people's expectations. Uncle San asked him to pass on a message. This plan must have been planned for a long time. I don't know what his purpose is.
We asked some more questions, but the bald guy only knew one part of the story. But from his tone, Third Uncle's arrangement was really perfect, and this time the old man finally showed his skills.
We came out the same way, and I saw a lot of second-hand computer monitors being transported outside the shop. Pan Zi told me that the tomb objects were transported hidden inside. Such packaging would not be detected during normal customs inspections. The bald man mentioned that our equipment was transported to Jilin, so it should be transported in this way.
Pan Zi is the local boss here. In the evening, I went with him to eat Changsha dumplings. I have been to Changsha more than once or twice, so it is not new to me. While eating, we discussed the news that Baldy brought us today. Pan Zi thought for a long time and said to me, "Little Third Master, after thinking about it, I always feel that
You told me that the resource company that was prepared for you to go to Xisha is suspicious. Damn it, do you think the group of people that Sanye mentioned are them?"
I said, "I've thought of this a long time ago. But I think the problem is not with the company, but with the people behind the company. Let's not think about it. Anyway, when we get there, even if we don't look for them, they will come to us. But, can we trust Brother Chu?"
Pan Zi said, "Master San, don't look at me because I'm a soldier. I'm very good at judging people. You can absolutely trust this man. I'm just worried. That man said there were five people going together. What kind of people are the other three?"
I said, "Third Uncle's arrangements are always correct."
Pan Zi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Third Master always said that you have to observe people 365 days a year, not even one day less. People change. If you don't see them for a week, they might have thought of harming you. Especially those uneducated people in our industry. To put it bluntly, who of them doesn't have a few murders on their hands? They are so cruel that I can bury them in the ground. Third Master hasn't been back for so long, the people here must have changed their minds."
I think it's not good to have too high expectations. Let's take it one step at a time.
The streets were cold at night, so after dinner, we went back to Panzi's old house to sleep. In the morning, after breakfast, the bald man's car came to pick us up. I carried my personal luggage from a distance, looked inside the car, and found that someone was already sitting in the seat.
After taking a closer look, I found that it was an old man. He looked very familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before, and not long ago.
I didn't care and walked over joking with Pan Zi. When I got closer and took a look, I was suddenly stunned.
Judging from his figure and strange attire, the old man was none other than Chenpi A Si, the man I saw in my second uncle's teahouse in Hangzhou!
I opened my mouth so wide that my neck almost stiffened. I wondered what he was doing in the car. Could it be that this old man was also one of the five people? It couldn't be that outrageous, could it?
Pan Zi also saw it at this time, muttered something, and looked surprised.
The bald man asked us to hurry up, and we got on the car in confusion. Pan Zi knew Chenpi Ah Si, and greeted him. The old man closed his eyes and just nodded slightly. Pan Zi immediately turned to the bald man driving the car, bared his teeth and asked him what was going on with his mouth.
The bald man smiled helplessly and replied with his mouth that he didn't know either, that this was how the Third Master arranged it.
No way, I thought to myself, isn't this old guy blind? And he's older than Pan Zi and I combined. What is Uncle San trying to do?
We arrived at the train station in a state of trepidation. I was thinking to myself that the first person that my uncle arranged for us was an old man who was nearly 100 years old , so it was hard to estimate what the second person would be like. He might be a pregnant woman with a big belly or a disabled person in a wheelchair.
Is Uncle San trying to test our love?
Chenpi Ah Si was in good health and got off the bus with his hands behind his back. Baldy was very respectful to him and helped him carry his luggage. In order to be more flexible, we chose a relatively poor sleeper, which could sleep six people in one room and had just enough space for luggage.
We came to our room, and I looked inside. I first saw a fat man eating instant noodles. When he saw me, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Fuck, you again?"
I suddenly had a headache, and my heart skipped a beat. I wondered why Uncle San had found him. Could it be the same team as before? I immediately turned to the fat man's upper bunk, and sure enough, a pair of calm eyes without any ripples were looking at me.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Men Youping squinted his eyes, looked at me, then turned over and fell asleep again.
