"...Zhang Ze." Zhang Ze answered truthfully. Although the identity of this woman was a mystery, Zhang Ze felt that the woman seemed to have no ill intentions towards him.
"You were very smart and brave when you fought against the monster in the Demon Cave just now. When ordinary people encounter this kind of situation, I am afraid they would have left their companions and fled... I admire you very much." The woman said slowly.
"However, next time, don't go to the occupied area to mess with things. You will easily lose your life. Unless you become a strong person in the Demon Realm."
Zhang Ze blinked. It was obvious that Lu Kai's lie was seen through by this woman, but the woman didn't seem to want to go into details.
The way back went smoothly, and no more monsters were encountered. The man in sunglasses parked the car a few hundred meters away from the northeastern city wall. He lit a cigarette and said to Zhang Ze and Lu Kai: "Two passengers, the purpose We've arrived, please get off the bus."
Zhang Ze and Lu Kai looked at each other and got out of the car. The off-road vehicle turned around and drove towards the depths of the occupied area, dragging the billowing smoke and dust with it.
"Who are they?" Zhang Ze looked at the off-road vehicle going away and asked Lu Kai next to him.
Lu Kai shook his head and guessed: "I don't know who they are, but they must be strong men in the Demon Realm, otherwise they wouldn't be able to defeat the Demon Cave monsters so easily."
He patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and said, "Stop thinking about these things. Let's go back quickly. It's still very dangerous here."
Zhang Ze nodded. He suddenly remembered something, looked back at his backpack, and said to Lu Kai with a wry smile: "What a bad luck. My backpack was scratched by a monster, and the box containing calligraphy and paintings was also lost."
Lu Kai sighed, shook his head and said, "Just throw it away. At least your life will be saved."
The two quietly returned to Tianfeng City. Zhang Ze saw that Lu Kai was seriously injured and wanted to send him to the hospital, but Lu Kai stopped him.
In desperation, Zhang Ze had to send Lu Kai back to his home.
Lu Panpan was at home. When she saw Zhang Ze helping Lu Kai in, her beauty suddenly turned pale. She hurriedly ran up and saw that the clothes on Lu Kai's chest were almost stained red with blood. She was so frightened that she started crying.
"Stop crying, brother is not dead yet, hurry up and ask Uncle Wang to come over..." Lu Kai weakly said to Lu Panpan, and then he lay on the bed unable to move.
Zhang Ze also helped take care of Lu Kai. It wasn't until Uncle Wang came over with a medical kit and Lu Kai's injury was under control that he said goodbye and left.
"Today was really dangerous and tortuous..." On the way back, Zhang Ze felt a little scared when he thought of what happened today.
If that woman hadn't suddenly appeared and driven away the Devil's Cave monster, he and Lu Kai would have perished in the occupied area.
"It's a pity that the calligraphy and painting was lost, otherwise I wouldn't have returned empty-handed today." Zhang Ze sighed slightly, and inadvertently, he suddenly saw a familiar figure turning into a street corner.
"Huh? That person seems to be..." Zhang Ze's pupils shrank and he quickly followed him.
Although the man was wearing a windbreaker, a peaked cap, and a mask on his face, his back still gave him away.
"This person seems to be... Tiegang!"
Zhang Ze was shocked and confused. When he was in the occupied area, Tiegang disappeared outside the museum. Everyone thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to appear here!
Zhang Ze suddenly discovered that something was exposed from the hem of Tiegang's windbreaker. It turned out to be the lost box containing ancient paintings!
Zhang Ze frowned. He judged from Tiegang's sneaky appearance and the exposed part of the painting box that Tiegang must have done something shameful behind everyone's back!
"Look where this guy is going?"
Zhang Ze followed cautiously, while Tiegang was very vigilant. He turned back every three steps and every five steps, obviously because he was afraid that someone was following him.
However, Zhang Ze hid himself well from Tiegang, and finally followed him to an abandoned construction site.
Zhang Ze found a place with a better view to hide. From here, he could see Tiegang standing on the abandoned construction site, waiting anxiously for something.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze took out his mobile phone and started recording Tie Gang.
About ten minutes later, a luxurious black car slowly drove into the construction site, and Tiegang had a look of excitement on his face.
"Boss Li! I brought back everything you asked for!"
Before the black car stopped, Tie Gang had already run to the car window and spoke to the people inside with a charming smile.
The car stopped, and two bodyguards got out of the car. One of them opened the rear door respectfully, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car. Before he could speak, he took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and covered it in his hand. On his own nose, he said to Tiegang with a look of disgust: "Stay away from me, the smell on you is too unpleasant!"
Tiegang nodded repeatedly, took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "Boss Li, I brought the things back, please take a look."
Boss Li winked at the bodyguard next to him. The bodyguard stepped forward and took the box from Tiegang. After opening it carefully, he scanned it with a strange device and nodded to Boss Li.
A smile suddenly appeared on Boss Li's face. He waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to put the things away and put them in the car.
Tie Gang rubbed his hands aside and asked with a smile on his face: "Is the stuff okay? Then my money..."
"I won't miss you a cent!" Boss Li said calmly, "But I admire you very much! You are so ruthless! For the sake of money, you even cheated your brother who has been born and died for more than ten years. You are a ruthless person!"
An embarrassed look appeared on Tiegang's face. He smiled and said, "Boss Li, please stop making fun of me."
After hearing these words, all the doubts in Zhang Ze's mind were solved.
Needless to say, Tiegang must have set a trap for Lu Kai and others in order to monopolize the three million. After they all died at the hands of monsters in the Demon Cave, he took back the calligraphy and paintings and gave them to Boss Li in exchange for money.
"This bastard!" Zhang Ze clenched his fists. When he thought of the death of Lao Ba and Madman, a surge of anger arose in his heart!
A bodyguard handed Tie Gang a golden consumer card, and Tie Gang immediately grabbed it. After some verification, he was sure that there were three million in it, and the smile on his face grew wider.
"Thank you, Boss Li! Thank you, Boss Li!" Tiegang bowed repeatedly, expressing his gratitude.
Boss Li didn't even look at him, turned around and got in the car. Then, the black car drove out of the factory and drove away.
In the car, Boss Li took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Take my money back, and handle the rest of the matter cleanly without leaving any traces!"
