Chapter 158: Thought struggle
(Thanks to the "Lizi Jiang" book friend for the reward of 100 Qidian coins, and to the "Glorious as Summer Flower" book friend for the reward of 100 Qidian coins, thank you!!)
In the lobby of the Huang family's mansion, there were only men in black robe, Huang Shikun and General Manager Li. There were two servants and Ma Changyun standing at the door. The whole hall was silent, but you could still hear the panting from the girl not far away.
After the man in black robe respectfully handed a scroll to Huang Shikun, Huang Shikun waved his hand and asked someone to wait for him to rest.
At present, although Huang Shikun had not opened the scroll, he could guess what was recorded on the scroll. Not only was his complex expression, but his hand holding the scroll also trembled faintly.
He gave Ma Changyun a wink first. Ma Changyun understood, and immediately nodded and gently closed the door. Huang Shikun watched with his own eyes the gap between the two doors closed, and then he couldn't wait to open the scroll.
A line of small words is written directly above the scroll: Bai Family Third Young Master - Bai Xiao.
Immediately afterwards, there is a portrait below.
This portrait is simple and has only black ink colors, but the painters are really good at painting. They have fully outlined the characters in the portrait by just outlining the outline of the black ink outline.
I saw that the person in the portrait was fat, had a round belly, and a faint sense of timidity and despicability on his face.
Although the character image is not as vivid as it is painted, Huang Shikun still recognized him at a glance!!
In an instant, Huang Shikun's whole body shook, his eyes suddenly became straightened. Even the portrait in his hand that had not been fully unfolded suddenly was unable to control it. He accidentally fell to the ground, and murmured: "It's actually him!"
Manager Li has been standing beside Huang Shikun. He now knows the truth about the front line. At this time, he carefully picked up the scroll that fell to the ground, and his old face couldn't help but become weird: "Young Master... Their group and three just left this morning!"
"I know!" Huang Shikun almost squeezed out from his teeth.
Manager Li looked at Huang Shikun with a gloomy face and suddenly asked, "Is it because they received the news first than us? They left early?"
Huang Shikun gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Impossible! They must have no idea about this matter at all. Otherwise, even if he insisted on moving into my Huang family mansion a week ago, we would never have seen Bai Xiao!"
Manager Li knew that Huang Shikun had misunderstood his meaning and hurriedly added: "Young Master... I mean, did they only learn the news this morning and then leave as soon as possible?"
"It is definitely impossible!" Huang Shikun shook his head firmly and said, "Only our Huang family knows the degree of confidentiality of this matter. Even if the news is leaked, it will be circulated to other families first. It is impossible for them to know first!"
Manager Li quickly reminded: "But the identity of that boss Wang is not simple! Maybe he really knew it in advance through special channels!"
Huang Shikun was silent immediately and asked for a long time: "Have the three of them gone out these days? Or have they contacted outsiders? Or have they a carrier pigeon flew to our Huang family?"
Manager Li didn't think about it and immediately smiled bitterly: "Young Master, if you don't let me arrange someone to monitor them, I don't dare to take my own initiative!"
Huang Shikun's face turned pale in an instant. After a long time, he snatched the scroll, opened it completely and looked carefully, and then looked at Bai Xiao's personality at the bottom of the scroll.
Then, he shook his head comfortably and sighed: "It should be impossible. When the three of them said goodbye to me today, they could not see any abnormal reaction. Even if the boss Wang and another person were extremely cunning, I couldn't see that that young master like Bai Xiao who had not been involved in the world, even if he disguised himself, he could still see some clues on his face."
The more he spoke, he became more and more anxious. When he said this, when he heard the faint laughter of a girl from outside, Huang Shikun suddenly frowned and shouted at Ma Changyun who was guarding outside, "Chief Ma, go and call my uncle for me!!"
Ma Changyun's answer came from outside the door, and then he heard Ma Changyun walking away further and further away.
Mr. Li looked at Huang Shikun with an ugly face and reminded him: "Young Master, the three of them have been away for a day! It's useless to pursue the past. Are we considering sending people to chase..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Shikun immediately shouted coldly: "Let me talk when my uncle comes!"
Manager Li quickly closed his mouth, but looking at Huang Shikun's struggled expression, a sigh flashed in his eyes.
Not long after, the main entrance of the hall was suddenly pushed open. The person who came was Huang Shikun's uncle Huang Chong, but his thick beard had been shaved cleanly. Although his figure was still thin, his face was clear and angular. It was vaguely seen from the protruding muscle lines on his neck that he was not as weak as he appeared.
However, he obviously rushed over in a hurry. The moment he pushed open the door, he buckled his waistband. He was a little anxious and a little reproached: "Shikun, your guard told me that someone had brought me news from the front line. If this matter is fake, don't blame me for twisting your guard's neck!"
Huang Shikun knew that he had just crawled down from the girl, and he couldn't help but frown and said unhappily: "Is it not as good as a woman under you when I call you here?"
Huang Chong frowned slightly and his face turned gloomy: "So, your Chief Guard really lied to me?"
Huang Shikun couldn't help but feel helpless. He didn't want to waste more time here. He grabbed the scroll and handed it to Huang Chong. He said angrily: "Uncle, please see it yourself. This is the portrait of the third young master of the Bai family coming from the front line."
Huang Chong's face suddenly eased a lot. He didn't care about Huang Shikun's tone. He took the scroll and read it immediately. Then, he suddenly looked at Huang Shikun with a little reproach: "Shikun, you should send someone to copy more copies of this portrait now, and then pass it down and ask someone to search the people, instead of calling me over and asking me what to do!"
Huang Shikun couldn't help but feel a little angry: "I am the lord of Tuye City, so there is no need to ask you what to do!"
Huang Chong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Huang Shikun suppressed his anger and said to President Li: "Uncle Li, tell me the truth quickly!"
Huang Chong suddenly became a little stunned again.
Manager Li quickly told Huang Chong about Wang Sancai’s affairs, including his later move to the Huang family’s residence, and left early this morning.
Sure enough, Huang Chong calmed down immediately after hearing this and sat on the chair.
Huang Shikun took a deep breath and said patiently: "Uncle, I don't want to quarrel with you now, let alone talk about the matter with you. You know now that the identity of Boss Wang must be not simple. I never thought that the fat man next to him was the third young master of the Bai family. Otherwise, I would definitely not have let the three of them leave early this morning."
Obviously, over the past few days, the uncle and nephew have accumulated a lot of conflicts. Huang Chong immediately gave him a blank look: "You keep him? According to your personality, what can you keep him?"
"Of course, I discussed with him about the matter of the third young master of the Bai family. Anyway, he took it in from the city, and his feelings must not be deeply accumulated!" Huang Shikun suppressed his anger and continued to say his thoughts: "Since he exchanged the upper-grade Yuanshi with our Huang family, it proves that he still has a good impression of our Huang family. Maybe he was sent by a mysterious force to help us. As long as we discuss it with him, he will definitely give us the third young master of the Bai family to us!"
"Absurd!" Although Huang Chong patiently listened to Huang Shikun's story, he obviously looked down upon: "Since he has left, it means he never thought of handing over the third young master of the Bai family to us!"
Huang Shikun continued to suppress his anger: "Maybe he doesn't know what we encountered at all! If he knew that my father was in the hands of the king now, he might have handed Bai Xiao over to us!"
Huang Chong glared at Huang Shikun helplessly: "Shikun, you are so naive!"
Huang Shikun was very dissatisfied: "What about uncle's opinion?"
"Of course, kill the two bosses! Snatch Bai Xiao!" Huang Chong looked disdainful: "Without them, this matter will not be easy to leak news. Besides, Bai Xiao can also fall into our hands 100%!"
"Impossible! I won't do this!" Huang Shikun said firmly: "If others have kindness to me, how can I repay my grudges? Even if Boss Wang has no power behind him, I will never raise a weapon to him!"
Huang Chong was about to refute, but sighed a long time ago and changed the subject: "No matter whether we should kill him or discuss with him, we must find out where they are going first. You can arrange someone to check which city gate they left!"
"I don't have to worry about this matter. I've already sent someone to inquire!" Huang Shikun shook his head firmly and said, "Anyway, I will never agree to the matter of killing Boss Wang!"
Huang Chong slapped the table in anger: "When is it? Are you still thinking about a businessman?!"
"He is not just a businessman, he is the benefactor who helped me at the most critical moment of my Huang family!" Huang Shikun emphasized.
Huang Chong immediately retorted disdainfully: "So what about benefactor? Is it more important than your father's life?!"
A word immediately made Huang Shikun unable to refute anymore. His expression changed a few times. In the end, he still gritted his teeth and said, "If I kill my Huang family's benefactor now, who dares to help our Huang family in the future?"
Huang Chong was still disdainful: "If you can't ensure that Bai Xiao falls into our hands this time, then your father will be in danger!"
Huang Shikun couldn't sit still. His father's life made him dare not be negligent, but the honor of the family and the sense of justice instilled by his father since he was a child made him unable to do such despicable and shameless things. He was in a dilemma and was silent, shook his head vigorously and said, "But I can ask him to come back and discuss with him, and after the discussion is fruitless..."
However, before he finished speaking, Huang Chong interrupted: "Discussion? He is leaving now. Will he definitely come back if you invite him? Even if he can invite him back, he said he would have to consider how many days or dozens of days you can spend? Don't forget that the longer the time, the greater the chance of being known to other families, and the greater the danger of your father! Moreover, if we kill again, that Boss Wang will die with us, then, he will really offend the forces behind him!"
The more he spoke, he became more and more excited. He simply stood up and pointed outside: "Now, we send someone to secretly make him out and then secretly transport the young master of the Bai family back. Even if the forces behind him want to know who did this, it will be difficult!"
Mr. Li, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't help it and whispered in Huang Shikun's ear: "Young Master, he showed his strength once when he taught the swordsman a lesson in our black market last time. Later, our people were sure that he was only at level 10 at most, and killing him was not a difficult thing."
Both of them refuted their views. Huang Shikun's sense of justice that had been firmly at the top was finally shaken. It was related to the safety of his father. He really did not dare to be careless. After a long silence, he finally compromised, but his tone became a little numb: "Then let this matter be left to the uncle. With his uncle's strength, I think it would be foolproof."
However, unexpectedly, Huang Chong shook his head, but when he heard Huang Shikun's compromise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became much calmer: "I can't go, nor can I send people with too strong strength, otherwise I will leave some traces of the Huang family. Just send some death soldiers around level ten, and send more people. He only has a level ten strength and will definitely not be able to withstand it. The martial arts practiced by the death soldiers are different from our Huang family, so it is not easy to show any flaws."
