Chapter 158 [Deep Mindfulness] (Part 2)
Lan Ximei said: "I deliberately spread the news about Prince Hong, with the purpose of attracting the snake out of the hole. Mu Sanshou has already started to mess up, otherwise he would not have come to Peking."
Luo Lie said: "You also captured Ye Qinghong?"
Lan Ximei shook her head and said, "Her affairs have nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in her either. The person who tied the bell must be untied. If you want to find her, you may have to start with Mu Sanshou."
Luo Lie frowned. In this way, Ye Qinghong might have been protected by Mu Sanshou, but if all what Lan Ximei said was true, Mu Sanshou's scheming was unfathomable, maybe he was worried that Ye Qinghong would know the truth, or that Ye Qinghong's mother would really keep a lot of help.
The purpose of Lan Ximei's visit to her is not to talk about love, but to cooperate. Luo Lie has an extremely clear understanding of this. Lan Ximei and Ye Qinghong are different. Although both have royal blood, Ye Qinghong's unscrupulous methods are more superficial. Lan Ximei's experience proves that she can endure humiliation and never give up until she achieves her goal. There is no right or wrong in Lan Ximei's dictionary.
Lan Ximei said: "Mu Sanshou thought my father was not dead, so he set up a plan to lure him into the trap. The Japanese covet the so-called secret treasure under the Old Summer Palace. I will reveal the news to them, and then I will catch them all." Two cold murderous intents burst out from her eyes.
Lan Ximei stood up and said, "I know you don't believe me and are still doubting my motives. But there is one thing I have to tell you that the Japanese government started researching a super mutant program a few years ago, and has made great progress recently."
Luo Lie remembered the ninja who had assassinated them before.
Lan Ximei said: "The ninja who assassinated you is called Sada Youbukie, code-named Lone Wolf. When he was in Fengyu Garden, his arm was once torn off by the monster, but after the injection of the God-Shijin hormone, his body quickly recovered. Have you ever thought that if such hormones were popularized in the Japanese army, how terrible this army would be?"
Luo Lie shuddered. Although he knew that the dagger melted into the Earth Xuan Crystal could hurt these powerful mutants, there were too few Earth Xuan Crystals. He didn't understand one thing. The reason why Fang Kewen became that way was because of the long-term radiation from the Yu Shen Monument, where did the Japanese regenerative hormones come from?
Lan Ximei quickly answered the question: "Do you know Ma Boxuan?"
Luo Lie shook his head. He had never seen Ma Boxuan before. His understanding of this person was through other people's retellings. From Fang Kewen's description, Ma Boxuan was not a good person either.
Lan Ximei said: "Ma Boxuan once went to Japan to treat his illness. His symptoms of rapid aging in a short period of time attracted the attention of the military. The military organized elites from the biology and medical circles to study this person and extracted a special hormone from his body. This hormone is named the God-Caring Hormone, which can promote the metabolism of the human body and enhance the functions of all aspects of the body. The most peculiar thing is that the subjects of the experiment are completely different, and the impacts are also completely different."
Luo Lie took a breath, and Lan Ximei never deceived herself at this point.
Lan Ximei said, "I have mastered a lot of information about the Super Mutation Plan, because there are a few of the executors of this plan that are my enemies, so..." She laughed, and from Luo Lie's eyes she realized that she had finally found the other party's weakness. Luo Lie, whom she recognized, was a patriot and a man full of justice. Lan Ximei believed that he would not sit idly by such things. She stretched out her hand and patted Luo Lie's arm and said softly: "Don't rush to reply to me, go back and think carefully, I can afford to wait." Before getting up and leaving, she paused for a moment but did not look back: "Also, Uncle Fu's original surname is Fushan, and Sparrow's departure is a good thing for you."
When Luo Lie returned to Zhengjue Temple, he obviously felt that the atmosphere around him was a little wrong. Even the blind man looked at him with a bit of contempt. Luo Lie guessed that several people might have seen Lan Ximei throwing her arms into the Fengyu Pavilion. Anyway, she couldn't explain it clearly, so she was too lazy to explain.
Zhang Changgong finally couldn't help asking, "Are you going to waste it like this?"
Luo Lie said: "Some people can't hold back." He looked around and said: "Where has Lu Weilin been there these days?"
Zhang Changgong smiled bitterly and said, "He is Mu Sanshou's man, there is no need to report his whereabouts to me."
"We have to report it to others."
Zhang Changgong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood. Since Lu Weilin was Mu Sanshou's person, the situation at Zhengjue Temple would inevitably report to Mu Sanshou, not to mention that the workers before were all installed by Mu Sanshou, and there were probably his insiders.
Luo Lie did not think that Lu Weilin was loyal to Mu Sanshou. He could see that the main reason why Lu Weilin came to Peking this time was for Ye Qinghong. The relationship between Lu Weilin and Mu Sanshou was more like a transaction. In Luo Lie's view, any transaction based on interests is unstable. Once the balance of interests between the two parties is broken, the relationship between them will be destroyed.
Zhang Changgong whispered: "Are we just waiting like this?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Wait!"
Although Mu Sanshou personally provided the map to Luo Lie, he did not know what kind of secrets were buried underground in the Old Summer Palace? Lu Weilin disappointed him in this matter, and he was not among the four people who penetrated deep into the Old Summer Palace.
Luo Lie was right. Mu Sanshou was still in Peking. At this moment, he was sitting in the middle hall of Fulin Garden, holding a cigarette rod that never left his body. Although the Hetian jade cigarette mouth was on his lips, the tobacco had not been lit. The light in the hall was a little dim. A young scholar sat opposite him, wearing a gray long gown, with most of his face hidden in the shadows. He could still see his beauty from the small half of the face reflected by the light, his eyebrows were like spring mountains and his eyes were like bright moons. This scholar with a delicate face like a woman was Bai Yunfei, the leader of the Anqing Gang in the past.
Bai Yunfei was in trouble and had to leave his hometown and flee to Huangpu alone. Luo Lie used Mu Sanshou's relationship. Tianjin and Beiping were adjacent to each other. Bai Yunfei had never considered returning to Peking in such a short time, but it was not long before he went to Huangpu. His mentor Jiao Chengyu was shot dead. You must know that Jiao Chengyu had been paralyzed for many years, so who could bear to attack an old man in his twilight years?
Although Bai Yunfei is a hero in Tianjin and a person who is in awe at the doors of the Tianjin halls, he respects this mentor very much. For many years, he has been taking care of Jiao Chengyu. The reason why he placed Jiao Chengyu in Peking was because he was worried that his enemy would deal with him. But he didn't expect that human calculations were worse than God's calculations. He just lost power in Tianjin and his master was assassinated. Now the position of leader of the Anqing Gang has changed hands, and Bai Yunfei has become a wanted criminal by the government.
Bai Yunfei also overcome all difficulties and sneaked into Peking. Mu Sanshou helped him a lot. Even Jiao Chengyu's funeral was handled by Mu Sanshou. Bai Yunfei clearly had a grudge and had already remembered this favor in his heart.
The funeral has been completed and the mentor is buried. Bai Yunfei is still guilty of assassinating the German consul on his back. With his current difficult situation, he cannot find the murderer and avenge his mentor.
Mu Sanshou always looked unstoppable and said softly: "Mr. Bai, I have made arrangements. You can leave Peking and return to Huangpu at any time."
Bai Yunfei looked at Mu Sanshou and said, "Is the Third Master going back?"
Mu Sanshou shook his head.
Bai Yunfei said: "Miss Ye has no news yet?" Mu Sanshou did not conceal his purpose of coming to Peking this time.
Mu Sanshou sighed and whispered: "I'm afraid it's a lot of luck after missing for so many days."
Bai Yunfei pursed his lips, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy. After all, Ye Qinghong had helped him in Tianjin before, and perhaps offended the Japanese because of this. Even if it wasn't for this reason, he helped him escape from Tianjin by helping her and Mu Sanshou, and could not sit idly by. However, he is now a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect himself. He is really powerless, but he has to say something.
Bai Yunfei was about to speak when a report came from outside: "Third Master, Mr. Lu is here."
Mu Sanshou reached out to stop Bai Yunfei, who was about to avoid him, and sang: "Let him wait for me in the flower hall, and I will go there later."
The person who came was Lu Weilin. Lu Weilin also took some trouble to come to Mu Sanshou's residence in Peking. He thought Mu Sanshou had already returned to Huangpu, but he did not expect that he would still return to Peking. Of course, this time Mu Sanshou asked someone to come to him.
"Third Master!" When facing Mu Sanshou, Lu Weilin always maintained his due respect. Although he had suspected that Ye Qinghong's disappearance was related to Mu Sanshou after a deep conversation with Luo Lie, he would not openly question Mu Sanshou until there was no conclusive evidence.
Mu Sanshou smiled calmly and said, "I heard that you have been looking for Ye Qinghong these days. Have you found almost all the places she may have been to in Peking?"
Lu Weilin said frankly: "Yes!"
Mu Sanshou said meaningfully: "Qinghong is really lucky to have friends like you."
Lu Weilin didn't say anything. In fact, Ye Qinghong never regarded him as a friend. Ye Qinghong was always arrogant and indifferent in front of him. Perhaps Ye Qinghong just regarded him as an employee and was not even a partner. He still remembered the scene of shooting Ren Zhongchang in the Lanmofang of Huangpu. It was also the first time he saw Ye Qinghong. Ye Qinghong's dazzling figure on the stage was engraved in his heart since then.
Mu Sanshou of course could see that Lu Weilin was not limited to a simple relationship with Ye Qinghong. In the past, Lu Weilin had a cold heart and overwhelming hatred, which gave him the qualities of a first-class killer. In addition, he also had a rebellious temperament. Even if the tasks assigned to him were assigned to him, he had to first consider his preferences. Mu Sanshou was only his employer, and he was definitely not Mu Sanshou's subordinate.
