Chapter 248: People say the setting sun is the end of the world

In a seaside holiday villa in Haikou City, Hainan Province, An Zuojie was holding a glass of wine and looking at the sea view in the distance outside the long floor-to-ceiling window. The setting sun shone on the beach and blue waves, and the sky and the earth seemed to be coated with a golden-red halo.

The horizon was shrouded in clouds. Viewed from behind, his silhouette looked like a silhouette in the sunset, a bit mysterious and unfathomable.

There was also a man and a woman sitting in the room. It was Qian Wusi, a disciple of the Xiaosha sect who disappeared from Sanya after Zhan Modao's death, and Wu Ping, the financial director of Nansha Hotel Management Company. An Zuojie did not speak, and they just looked at each other.

His back didn't dare to make a sound.

"People say that the setting sun is the end of the world. When I see the end of the world, I can't see my home. I hate that the green mountains are blocking each other, and the green mountains are still covered by dusk clouds. I have really gained a lot of insights from reading ancient Chinese poems these days." After a long time, An Zuojie said

Suddenly recited a poem, then turned around and asked: "According to what you said, it was Melande who ruined Zhan Modao's plan, and none of the people we sent to attack came back?"

His appearance is different from before. He looks like a middle-aged scholar wearing rimless resin glasses. Although his appearance has changed very little, he is unrecognizable at first glance.

Wu Ping nodded with lingering fear: "That Melander is evil-minded and cruel, he is simply bloodthirsty! Anyone who tries to deal with him, whether overtly or secretly, will not leave anyone alive!"

An Zuojie smiled coldly: "It's just a knife that can kill people, it won't make a difference! In what age is it now, even the best killers don't necessarily need to know secret techniques... Qian Wusi, as far as you know,

Melander killed the elders of the Xiaosha sect, and the Jianghu Feng sect went to the Nanhai fishing village to question the crime. How is the conflict there now?"

Qian Wusi leaned forward and replied: "The Xiaosha sect eliminated the undercover agents, and resolved the differences with colleagues from various factions through the mediation of Melander. After this battle, Nalande invited everyone to go to sea, and he seemed to have gained the reputation of a new generation leader."

An Zuojie frowned, took off his glasses and said: "So, he is really a big trouble! He is like a fish in water, and he can make things happen according to people. In the past, he was the only one we had to deal with, but now

He travels all over the world and can find helpers in many places, which is very troublesome.

Alas! The second boss is really old. He is immersed in the past and cannot escape. From the beginning, I have not approved of using the power of the organization to deal with various factions. Wouldn’t it be better for us to do our business and everyone to live in peace and harmony? I really want to say

In a word, cheers to world peace!"

Listening to him expressing his dissatisfaction with Tang Chaoshang face to face, Wu Ping's expression did not change, but Qian Wusi remained silent, and his expression couldn't help but change. An Zuojie sighed to himself and said in a very narcissistic tone: "

These Chinese idioms are really profound and wonderful when you think about them carefully! It’s a pity that not many people seem to be willing to study these wonderful things in depth.”

Qian Wusi then asked cautiously: "Melander and his disciples from various sects have gone to sea again. Shall we arrange another sneak attack?"

An Zuojie glared at him: "Are you delivering food to someone?"

Wu Ping reminded: "I heard that they went to search for porcelain from the sea."

An Zuojie took a sip of wine and sneered: "Just check, the organization is engaged in the business of fishing porcelain from the sea, but it only receives the goods and changes hands. It has never done such a thankless business as diving and salvage. Those people have nothing to do with us."

Guanxi is just a coolie to help us make money. No matter how capable he is, can he stop the entire South China Sea business? There are always people who do it, just like there are always people who kill people and set fires in this world."

Wu Ping asked again: "Mr. An, from what you just said, you don't want to go against Jianghu Fengmen, nor do you want to provoke that Melander?"

An Zuojie suddenly sighed: "The organization has long since left the Jianghu Fengmen, inherited the secret Wuchong sect, and developed so many branches and such a large force, why bother to go back and get entangled? But now it is impossible not to deal with Melander, even if it is not

If we provoke him, he will come to us sooner or later. It seems that we can only divide and conquer."

Qian Wusi added: "With the scale of the organization today, it is not just a secret law inheritance sect. We have many resources and means at our disposal. No sect in Jianghu Fengmen can be our opponent. Why are we afraid of him?"

An Zuojie glared at him again: "You can gather everyone to China, and then let Melander stand there waiting for you to deal with it? In the same way, he can bring all the factions in the Jianghu Fengmen with him at all times.

Are you around?...To deal with those sects? The resources and means of the organization are our wealth. I don't want to lose it in vain because of unnecessary things. The second boss is happy, but it will not be of any benefit to our future."

Wu Ping asked tentatively: "So how does Mr. An want to deal with Melander? The organization wants to keep him."

An Zuojie said with some dissatisfaction: "That is the meaning of the second boss. If this person is not removed, sooner or later he will be a serious problem. He will bring more and more losses to our interests, such as this time."

Wu Ping added: "That's because Zhan Modao didn't succeed, he missed it!"

An Zuojie curled his lips: "So what if he succeeds? After ten years of perfect lurking, he is expected to master a huge resource. The future benefits will only be much more, why waste it in vain?... Melander will definitely not let us go.

He will be like a mad dog, sniffing and looking for smells everywhere... It seems that the power I have concentrated in the country should try to avoid conflict with him. Without complete assurance, things in the South China Sea cannot happen again."

Wu Ping: "How does Mr. An want to deal with him?"

An Zuojie looked at Wu Ping, from her head to her feet, and from her feet to her head. His eyes swept over her body like tentacles. He suddenly said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you, Wu Ping, I think."

I'll send you to see Melander and pass on a message. Maybe we can make peace. Maybe we have common interests and common enemies. Didn't the second boss say that we should keep this person? This is also in line with the organization's arrangements.

"

Wu Ping was feeling uncomfortable all over, but when she heard this, she trembled with fright and said with a pale face: "Going to find Melander, isn't this going to die? Mr. An, I..."

An Zuojie interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "If he was really a smart man, he wouldn't be like you think! Aren't you willing to go?"

Wu Ping's lips were bloodless: "No, no, no..."

An Zuojie laughed again: "Forget it, I won't force you. By the way, I brought out the financial information you had in the Xiaosha Pai, as well as Zhan Modao's private records of his interactions with people over the years.

?"

Wu Ping: "I've tried my best to preserve it. The information is still being sorted and I haven't brought it over yet."

An Zuojie: "Thank you for your hard work. Don't be too tired or anxious. Just deliver it tomorrow night. You can go back and rest."

After Wu Ping left, An Zuojie put down his wine glass, stretched, turned to Qian Wusi and said, "I wonder what you think of the dissatisfaction I just expressed?"

Qian Wusi said seriously: "The second boss has the second boss's idea. After all, it is the two bosses who have single-handedly built today's organization, this huge empire. And Mr. An is thinking about the interests and future of the brothers. I agree with it from the bottom of my heart."

of."

An Zuojie nodded: "You have been practicing secret techniques in Xiaosha Sect for several years. Have you reached the state of spiritual pivot transfer?"

Qian Wusi said with regret: "Not every practitioner of the secret method who can get started has the opportunity to break through this state. I am selfless and ashamed. I feel that it is quite difficult. I may not be able to do it even if I practice for many years."

An Zuojie: "You don't have to think so. I heard that there are people who are nearly seventy years old and can still break through the realm of spiritual pivot transfer. The opportunity is really unspeakable. You have worked hard these days. Now that you are here, just relax.

Come on, let’s go diving together.”

…

In a corner of the Yale University campus in Los Angeles, USA, young people in twos and threes walked by carrying bags and books. Wu Yuchong sat on a bench beside the road, picked off a fallen leaf floating in her hair, and crushed it with her hands. She also

Holding a small handheld computer in one hand, there is a hand-drawn portrait on the computer screen. The details of the facial features are very clearly outlined. It is Melander who is attending a party in a fishing village in the South China Sea.

Her eyes were full of sadness and deep regret. She sat there speechless for a long time. She quietly deleted the picture without getting up. She half-closed her eyes and muttered to herself——

In this world, there are not many people who treat me really well as soon as we meet. Brother You Fang, why is it you? I really don’t want to be your enemy, but this person happens to be you, and I really can’t help it.

My father is a romantic drunkard. He has never known what responsibility is in his life. He has never seen me since I was born. My mother is a cold person. She only knows how to pursue her own personality in her life and is always exploring around the world. Her spiritual world

I have never really owned anyone except myself. I am so indifferent that I have nothing to say, but I seem so caring in front of me, telling you that this is growth.

I grew up in a boarding school, this prosperous and desolate place, I really envy you! You don’t know how many people bullied me when I was a child, how much hurt I suffered, and how many years I was surrounded by fear? Until one day I was in

I met the masters in the church. They not only protected me, but also taught me how to protect myself. Only then did I truly have a life.

You killed my master Chaohe, and my master Chaoshang asked me to deal with you. One day in the future, I will definitely do it. This is the meaning of life! But I really hope that this day will come later. Master wants me to do it.

Close to you and protect you, I will definitely do the same.

I have never met grandpa. You respect him very much, so I have helped you. Du Xiucai's gang, grandpa died in their hands, I completely cut it off and handed over all the clues to the police. No one of them was spared.

But there's only so much I can do with the organization.

Brother You Fang, if that day comes, no matter whether you hate me or not, I can only do one thing, that is, not to kill you. Let you live. You will lose your earth master inheritance and secret method cultivation, but it will be the same in this world.

You can live a good life, so why bother getting involved again? This may be a good thing for you. I really hope you are not Melander!

…

You Fang didn’t know what was happening in the distance. He was conspiring with Liu Xiyan and others on the boat. Naturally, the Xiaosha Sect came well prepared this time. On the surface, they were going on a sea trip, so there was no shortage of preparations to make. Not only did they go to sea

It’s these two boats. The most numerous fishing boats in the Ganglang Fishing Group are fishing in the South China Sea. They temporarily changed the signs. In the past few days, they have passed by the sea area where Mike Bush is located intentionally or unintentionally, without delaying anything.

It is not easy to arouse vigilance. It is normal to see fishing boats passing by at a distance at sea.

The scientific expedition team led by Mike Bush included a total of three ships. One was a scientific research ship, which basically stayed in a fixed sea area, and the other was a supply ship, which came every once in a while. According to You Fang and others' inference,

The supply ship is probably not just for supply. If Mike Bush and others are really fishing for things under the sea, the supply ship is the most suitable for transporting stolen goods.

There is also an iron-hulled fishing boat, which on the surface has nothing to do with the scientific research ship, but it has been fishing in circles around the scientific research ship these days. What kind of fish is it catching? It may be to provide warning and response just in case.

The time chosen by the tourists was after the supply ship arrived to catch this group of transnational criminals in one fell swoop. It was necessary to make sure everyone got the stolen goods. Dealing with three ships at the same time required careful planning. Fortunately, there were many experts on their side, enough to divide them into several groups to sneak around.

After getting on the boat, the tourist asked: "Have you brought the underwater propeller?"

Liu Xiyan nodded and said, "I'm prepared, but I only brought three sets."

You Fang thought for a while and then asked: "Our ship has sonar detection, and their ship cannot be without it. If we hold the propeller from underwater, will we be discovered? I wonder if we can use secret methods to detect it in the water.

Lower the shielded sonar?”

Liu Xiyan was stunned: "I have never tried this before. You can try it in the water, turn on the sonar on the ship, and try to operate various secret methods underwater."

Xiang Yinghua suddenly interjected: "Operation of the secret method underwater can block sonar detection, but you can't do it. There are only four of us here who can do it, namely me, Elder Bao, Master Long, and Master Niu.

It requires the ability to turn spiritual thoughts into physical form, so that even humans and propellers can gather sound."

Niu Yuepo said: "Can't we sail the boat and rush over directly?"

You Fang shook his head: "Our purpose is not to sink the ship and cause trouble. After all, the other party is a semi-official scientific expedition team. If you want to take it, you will get it. I am not afraid of any experts on the ship, but I don't know what they have."

What kind of weapon is it? It's even more inappropriate to go over the sea. The last encounter was very dangerous. It's better to attack by sneak attack. To say the least, if we make a mistake, we can turn around and leave, and they won't understand what's going on.

.”

…

Early the next morning, the cruise ship arrived at the predetermined sea area, and three fishing boats came to join them. The experts on board left in three fishing boats, and the yacht Zhang Liuhuakai also disappeared.
