Chapter 388: The Return of the Dragon Staff
Chapter 388: The Return of Dragon Staff
Although the TV communication has ended, knowing that Qi Jingru is unable to talk to her at this moment, Zhang Haotian cannot control his excitement, so he went to find a bottle of white wine to open it, sat back on the sofa, and started drinking alone.
Not long after, the phone rang. He picked it up and answered it, but it was Ye Binglan who called it. Of course, she was also very excited, and her voice was trembling slightly. Naturally, she was surprised and celebrating Qi Jingru's final victory today.
Over the past year, Ye Binglan has to build Qi Jingru and help him manage the entire "Alice Model Agency" business. The hard work is not inferior to Qi Jingru. Moreover, Zhang Haotian understands that Ye Binglan has subconsciously regarded Qi Jingru as her past self because of her early withdrawal from the modeling industry. He hopes that she can complete the journey she has not completed and even have new transcendences. The excitement tonight is probably not inferior to him.
He talked with Ye Binglan for a long time until she went to the backstage to pick up Qi Jingru. That was the end. Zhang Haotian silently waited for Qi Jingru to call him when she had free time.
Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, Qi Jingru's phone call came. Facing Zhang Haotian's voice, she could not suppress her excitement and kept talking to Zhang Haotian.
Listening to Qi Jingru's crisp and excited voice, Zhang Haotian suddenly felt the idea of flying to Beijing tonight to congratulate Qi Jingru in person. However, now the third district in the suburbs is now in peace, and the crisis is lurking. There are too many things that he needs to deal with. He really dared not be careless and had to give up this thought.
A reporter asked Qi Jingru for an interview, but she had to hang up the phone. Zhang Haotian was happy and couldn't sleep for a while, so he called Zhao Jinfeng, Jiang Yang, Luo Yi, and Gu Shu, and asked them to come out to drink with him and chat about the affairs of the Tsing Wolf Gang.
Qi Jingru stayed in Beijing accompanied by Ye Binglan. In addition to signing endorsements with several clothing companies, she also had to contact some famous people in the circle and would not come back for at least two or three months. Zhang Haotian planned to be in another month, and the situation in S City would stabilize a little more, so she flew to Beijing to accompany them.
That afternoon, Zhang Haotian informed Tian Xin to come to his office and discuss with him the establishment of a professional door lock company.
Tian Xin was already prepared. After coming, he came out with a budget for Zhang Haotian to become an influential door lock company in S City, and then he could receive some security warnings and other businesses, which would cost about eight million.
At this time, all the branches under the name of Tianhong Trading Corporation entered a normal development track, and the benefits were very good. Zhang Haotian earned tens of millions of cash every month, so of course he could give this money. After reading Tian Xin's budget, he didn't say much. He wrote a check of 10 million to him and asked him to be the manager to operate with full authority. The conditions were as mentioned before. He paid the funds and Tian Xin issued technology. After the company made a profit, Tian Xin could be said to be able to get rich returns without any risk.
Holding the 10 million check given by Zhang Haotian, Tian Xin was naturally extremely grateful. He looked at him and wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again.
Looking at Tian Xin's expression, Zhang Haotian smiled and said, "Manager Tian, is there anything else? It doesn't matter. Just tell me and see if I can find a way to solve it."
Tian Xin shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, you arranged the brothers from the Pliers Gang very well and gave me the opportunity to fulfill my ideals. I can only be grateful. There is no big deal. But I want to make a small request. I wonder if you can agree to me?"
Zhang Haotian stood up from behind the desk, pulled him to sit on the reception sofa, and said, "What is the request? Tell me what it is."
Tian Xin said: "Mr. Zhang, I know you are the leader of the Tianlang Gang. I want to join the Tianlang Gang, but I don't know if you agree?"
Tian Xin is a very useful person. Zhang Haotian wanted to win him over to join the gang, but he took the initiative to propose it so soon. He was immediately happy and reached out and hugged his shoulder and said, "Brother Tian, thank you for your respect, of course there is no problem with this matter. You can hold a gang entry ceremony in two days. But you are the deputy leader of the Pliers Gang. When you arrive at me, you may be defeated."
Tian Xin heard that he was called "big brother" and quickly shook his head and said, "What deputy gang leader? The Pliers Gang is simply a group of mobs. It can be compared with the Tianlang Gang. Now the Tianlang Gang is well-known on the road. Everyone praises you as a talented and promising person. As long as I can join and be an ordinary member, there is no extravagance for the rest."
Zhang Haotian had already made plans in his mind, but did not say it, but said, "You should wait until you enter the door to talk about your position. Brother Tian, you are a talent, and the Tianlang Gang will not treat talents unfairly."
Tian Xin nodded and then said, "Mr. Zhang, there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you, I think you will be interested."
Zhang Haotian said: "Oh, what's the matter?"
Tian Xin immediately said: "I have a junior brother nicknamed "Ghost Shadow". He likes to be alone and his skills in unlocking and entering the room are definitely not inferior to me. However, two years ago, he was killed because of one incident. Before he died, he told me something that was related to a treasure of the Wanhong Gang."
When he heard the words "Wanhong Gang Treasure", he thought of the nickname "Ghost Shadow", and Zhang Haotian's mind instantly thought of something like lightning. He stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Is this treasure a dragon stick lost by Wanhong Gang?"
Tian Xin looked at his expression so concerned, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, it's the dragon stick of Wanhong Gang. He told me that someone had asked him to go to the Wanhong Gang's main hall to steal the dragon stick. When he took the dragon stick to the delivery location, he felt something was wrong. He understood that these people wanted to kill people to silence them, so before those people even started, they suddenly ran away with the dragon stick and put it in a safe place. However, those people kept chasing him. When he called me, he was surrounded in a small hotel. He knew that he could not escape any longer, so he told me where the dragon stick was placed, hoping that I could find out who took the action to avenge him..."
Speaking of this, Tian Xin sighed long and said, "After calling me, my junior brother, was cut and died in the hotel. I know that the person who dared to steal Wanhong's dragon stick must be quite good. He was afraid and did not dare to avenge him or touch the dragon stick. Now I know you, and I know that you were promoted by Qi Longtou in the past. Of course, I have to tell you this. If you have the chance, I hope you can avenge my junior brother."
When the dragon stick disappeared, Qi Yinghang was forced to get rid of the throne of the leader of the Wanhong Gang. This mystery has always been hidden in Zhang Haotian's heart and can't be forgotten. I didn't expect that it was really "I searched without any effort when I found it." Today, I actually got an important clue from Tian Xin.
At that moment, Zhang Haotian quickly said, "Brother Tian, do you still remember the place where your junior brother puts the dragon stick?"
Tian Xin nodded and said, "Although I didn't dare to touch that thing, I have been to the place. It was in the hole of an ancient banyan tree in a park in City G. I just don't know if there will be an accident after two years?"
Zhang Haotian immediately said, "Brother Tian, let's drive to City G to see if we can find it."
Regarding the fact that Qi Yinghang was replaced by Pang Tongxun because of losing the dragon stick, Tian Xin had heard rumors in the aisle. Who did the killing of his junior brother to silence him? Of course, it goes without saying that the enemy is so powerful that he really dared not fulfill his junior brother's wish, but he always remembered that Zhang Haotian was promoted by Qi Yinghang, and finally he was punished by the red stick to withdraw from the Wanhong Gang. He had undoubtedly had a grudge against Pang Tongxun. Now that he had the opportunity, he had to say it out. Whether this person can avenge his junior brother is the only way to fate.
When Tian Xin agreed without hesitation when he heard that Zhang Haotian was going to accompany him to City G to get the dragon stick, he agreed without hesitation. The two hurriedly went downstairs and drove to City G to drive.
When we arrived in City G, it was already evening, but the park was closed. The two of us parked our cars and walked along the park wall. We soon arrived at a remote place hundreds of meters to the right. There was a three-meter-high wall inside. There was a forest inside. If we turned in, no one would notice it.
Although he didn't go to get the dragon stick, Tian Xin had come to see it and whispered to Zhang Haotian: "Mr. Zhang, the old banyan tree was three or four hundred meters after entering. The wall is a bit high, and we don't bring any tools. I can only squat down. I will stand on your shoulders and make a ladder and turn it in."
Zhang Haotian looked at the wall and said nothing. Suddenly, he took a few steps back and ran forward quickly. When he arrived at the wall, his body had already risen in the air, kicked on the wall, and then flew upwards. He stretched his arms and hooked the wall. Then he turned up, leaned on the wall and stretched his hand and said, "Brother Tian, come up, I'll pull you."
Tian Xin was also a "thief", but he was mainly technical. Seeing Zhang Haotian climbing into a three-meter-high wall in a few seconds, he had never seen such agile skill before. He was stunned for a moment. He heard him call him, and then he realized, holding a stone over, then stood up and jumped up with his hand. Zhang Haotian grabbed his hand and brought it to the wall.
After jumping off the wall and passing through a forest, I saw a banyan tree. The banyan tree was surrounded by six or seven people. It was surrounded by stone strips. There was a sign beside the stone strips, but it means that this banyan tree has a history of 500 years and is a national protected plant, so that viewers entering the garden cannot climb.
Seeing the instructions on this sign, Zhang Haotian felt slightly relieved. When Tian Xin's junior brother hid the dragon stick in this tree, he must have considered that no one would transplant such an ancient tree, nor would anyone climb it. It would be safe to put things in.
At this time, the setting sun was setting and the sky was getting darker. Zhang Haotian no longer hesitated and said to Tian Xin: "Brother Tian, your junior brother said that you should put the dragon stick in which tree hole."
Tian Xin came here to see it, and immediately pointed his hand at the second branch that extended to the right of the ancient banyan tree and said, "It's right there, but the tree hole should be above and cannot be seen below."
Zhang Haotian didn't ask any more. He jumped over the stone strip, used his hands and feet together, and soon climbed up the second branch of the ancient banyan tree. However, he saw that this branch was as big as a person hugging it, extending outward at least twenty meters. After searching with his eyes, he saw a black hole as big as a football five meters away from the branch. I don't know how deep it was.
Zhang Haotian immediately stepped on the branches and walked forward, squatted in front of the black hole, and reached out his hand.
It rained last night, and the tree hole was wet, and there was moss in the tentacles. When Zhang Haotian reached into half of his arm, his fingers touched a hard object, square, with edges and corners, and it should be an elongated box.
Feeling that there was something in the tree hole, Zhang Haotian was delighted and quickly took it out. With the glimmer of light in the sky, he saw that it was a mahogany box about four feet long, which was about twenty or thirty kilograms heavy, but there was a copper lock outside that could not be opened.
With Tian Xin below, of course there is no need to worry about unlocking the lock. Holding this long mahogany box, Zhang Haotian got down the tree in a short while, put the box on the stone surrounding the tree, pointed to the copper lock and said to Tian Xin: "Brother Tian, is there any way for you to open this lock?"
Tian Shiyan just smiled, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, took out one of them and inserted it into the copper lock, and then put a small wire in it. After only ten times, he heard a "crack" sound, and the copper lock had already popped open.
Tian Xin knew that the things inside were sacred objects in the underworld, and he always had a sense of awe. When he saw the copper lock open, he did not dare to open it, but retreated aside.
Zhang Haotian reached out to open the lid, and thought of everything about the dragon rod, his heart beat faster.
The lid of the box opened instantly, and there was a red scarf wrapped in a long object. Zhang Haotian slowly pulled the red scarf down. A black thing about three feet long appeared in the box. In the luminous light, you could clearly see a dragon head with angry eyes and mouth, curly hair and a stunning appearance. The dragon head was two feet long, but its handle was only one foot, with a diameter of no more than five centimeters. As soon as he grabbed it, the whole body was flashing with a bright color, exactly the same as the imitation dragon head he saw at the Wanhong Gang headquarters.
Needless to say, this is the real leader. Zhang Haotian was excited and didn't look at it anymore. He still wrapped the red cloth back and closed the lid again, but did not put the copper lock on it. Instead, he took off his suit and wrapped the mahogany box completely, greeted Tian Xin, and returned from the same way.
Two hours later, he returned to S City. Zhang Haotian sent Tian Xin back first, and then drove to "Tianhong Villa".
When he returned to his bedroom and turned on all the lights in the room, he took out the dragon stick and played with it. Thinking of the legend that the dragon stick "don't sink when it encounters water, but not melt when it encounters fire". He couldn't help but put it in a suitcase and went out again. He mentioned the restaurant and asked someone to open the door outside to guard it, and walked into the kitchen alone.
When he arrived in the kitchen, he walked straight to a large water storage tank on the right, opened the suitcase, took out the dragon staff, relaxed his hand, and threw it into the water tank about one meter deep.
The dragon staff entered the water and quickly sank, but soon something strange happened. With a "gurgle" sound, the dragon head floated back to the water. Under the light, it was like a black dragon tilting its head out of the water.
Zhang Haotian reached out and took it out, walked to the natural gas stove, turned on the switch, saw the blue flames rushing up with a "huh", and then took the faucet and placed it on the flame. If the faucet was real, of course it would not burn, and if it was fake, it would not be a pity if it was burned.
After burning the flames for two or three minutes, turning off the natural gas, Zhang Haotian picked it up again, feeling very hot, but when he looked at the dragon stick carefully, there was no sign of burning.
At this moment, Zhang Haotian had no doubt about the authenticity of the dragon stick. He immediately pulled out Huang Biao's cell phone and asked him to come to the kitchen in the restaurant.
Huang Biao has been living in "Tianhong Villa". After more than ten minutes, he rushed to the kitchen. When he saw the mahogany box for the first time, his face became excited. When he saw the dragon stick inside, he immediately looked at the dragon whisker on the left. In just a moment, his body trembled and murmured: "Really, indeed, God has eyes, Master Longtou, I did not let your will down. This dragon stick, I...I found it, found it."
As he said this, he suddenly bent down and bowed nine times to the mahogany box. Then he grabbed Zhang Haotian and said, "Haotian, how did you... find the Dragon Staff."
Zhang Haotian told him what Tian Xin told him, and then said strangely: "Uncle Biao, you didn't try it with water and fire. How do you know that this dragon stick is real?"
Huang Biao pointed to the shortest dragon beard on the left side of the dragon head and said, "Look at me, what's here?"
Zhang Haotian didn't see anything strange, so he shook his head and said, "I can't see it, there's nothing."
Huang Biao said again: "Put your eyes closer and look carefully."
This time, Zhang Haotian leaned down and put his eyes on the place thirty or forty centimeters away from the dragon whiskers. He suddenly saw a very tiny red dark spot at the tip of the shortest dragon whiskers. It was so small that if Huang Biao hadn't reminded him where he was, he wouldn't be able to see any problem even if he looked carefully.
He raised his head again and asked Huang Biao, "Uncle Biao, are you referring to the red dark spots on the dragon whiskers?"
Huang Biao nodded, and did not answer his words, but said, "Haotian, do you know the origin of the Dragon Staff?"
Zhang Haotian immediately said "um" and said, "I heard from Mr. Duanmu that a piece of three-foot-long wood was found on the top of Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang sixty or seventy years ago. It was a unique rare thing that caused competition among all gangs. The Wanhong Gang was first established at that time, and sacrificed thirteen lives to capture the piece of wood. Then he hired the most famous wood carving master at that time. It took three years to carve into a three-foot-long dragon-headed stick. As the token of the leader of the Wanhong Gang, there was no communication tool at that time. There were any major issues in the gang that needed to be dispatched, but the leader could not clone it, so he would let his master guard sword go with the stick. If you see the boss of the gang, you will naturally obey the order."
Huang Biao nodded again and said, "Yes, the origin of the dragon rod is like this, but there is another secret to this dragon rod, that is, because it is too important and precious, the first generation of dragon heads was afraid that people would imitate the bag, so he secretly asked the wood carving master to make a very small mark when he was making it. Only the dragon head masters of all dynasties knew about this mark. When the dragon head entered the detention center, he was worried that Pang Tongxun would kill him secretly. He could not be wary of it, so he told me this secret, and asked me to find the whereabouts of the dragon rod to be worthy of the ancestors of the Wanhong Gang. I didn't expect it to be lost in your hands. This is the will of heaven, the will of heaven, the will of the Wanhong Gang may not have perished."
Zhang Haotian shook his head and said, "Although the Dragon Staff is a holy object of the Wanhong Gang and a token of the Dragon Head Master, he cannot command the entire Wanhong Gang by holding it, not to mention that Pang Tongxun's people will never obey the orders."
Huang Biao immediately said: "Pang Tongxun did not obey the order, but Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian must recognize him. Haotian, you were the new leader appointed by the Dragon Head Master. Now you have obtained the Dragon Staff. Why not rush to City G to use the Dragon Staff to order Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian to temporarily forget all the grudges and work with Pang Tongxun to deal with the Three Alliance Gang first."
