The note was very white, but the writing on it was bright red, which was clearly written with blood.
A line of blood-red handwriting was particularly dazzling, and the note read: Your woman is in our hands. At midnight, you alone bring the Canglong Pearl to the City God's Temple in the east of the city. Don't wait if it's late!
When I saw this line of words, my heart really hurt, and I almost collapsed to the ground in a daze.
I really didn't expect that goatee to be so fast and attack the people around me so quickly, and it was also the person I cared about the most, Chen Qiuyu.
Chen Qiuyu is not an ordinary person. To be able to capture her as a hostage to blackmail me, one can imagine how strong the other party must be.
The note said that I should go alone and bring the Azure Dragon Pearl in exchange.
For Chen Qiuyu, even if it means taking my life, I will certainly not be stingy with those Canglong Pearls.
But the Canglong Pearl is very important to Mr. Liu Ba. If I ask him for it, he may be able to give it to me because of my face, but he may not give it to me.
On the one hand, I once personally lost the white jade Yinglong Sculpture that I finally got, and now I want the Canglong Pearl. This will really cost Master Liu Ba his life.
What's more, in order to obtain the Canglong Pearl, how many lives were sacrificed, including Brother Bao, Yuan Wu, Dabao, etc.
So even if Liu Baye really promised to give it to me, I wouldn't be able to reach out and take it.
Another aspect is Chen Qiuyu's identity. Chen Qiuyu is the granddaughter of Chen Guishou. Although Chen Guishou has a close relationship with Liu Baye, he is still an outsider after all.
In fact, I could see that when Liu Baye and Liu Qiaomei learned about my relationship with Chen Qiuyu, although they didn't say anything on the surface, there was still a trace of displeasure in their eyes. I knew they might have meant it. They brought me and Liu Tingting together, but I let them down.
After these two aspects, it is absolutely impossible for me to take the Canglong Pearl. But if I really can't take it, I can still deceive it with a fake one.
Because the only outsider who has seen the Azure Dragon Pearl is Goatee Beard. As long as he is not around, it will be possible to fake it.
………………
At midnight, I walked alone under the bright moonlight into the abandoned City God Temple in the eastern suburbs of the city.
The ruins of the Chenghuang Temple were in dilapidated condition, dust and cobwebs were everywhere, and not even a ghost could be seen.
But there are a pair of burning bonfires among them, proving that there are actually people in this seemingly empty Chenghuang Temple.
"I'm here!" I said with a frown on my face.
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six people rushed out from behind the afterimage of the City God. One of them had a pockmarked face. Isn't this the A-level wanted criminal that he saw on the bank of the Yellow River Ferry? !
"Hahahaha... Boy, are you pretty damn punctual? Have you brought the things?" Mazi grinned.
"Brought it!"
I nodded, reached out and took out a small package from the side pocket of my backpack.
The thing was wrapped in a piece of golden-yellow cloth. Let’s not talk about what was wrapped inside. Just the piece of cloth made people’s eyes light up, and they felt that there must be something extraordinary wrapped in it.
Seeing the package in my hand, Mazi raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that you are very clever. Who knows if there is really something that Mr. Tan wants inside? Open it and take a look!"
"Okay, I'll open it, but don't blind your eyes!"
As I said that, I slowly untied the yellow piece of cloth wrapped around it. When the piece of cloth was spread out, a green light suddenly shot out, and it actually changed the reflection of the huge City God Temple in front of me. color.
The thing in my hand at the moment is indeed not the Canglong Pearl, but it is definitely not a treasure. It is a luminous pearl synthesized by modern technology when Fatty Wu was shopping at the antique market. At that time, I heard that it was a fake. Fatty Wu just threw it in my store and walked away. It was just a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be useful now.
"Damn it, it's really a good baby!"
Mazi exclaimed, stepping up and raising his hand to take the luminous pearl from my hand, but I hurriedly took a step back and wrapped the luminous pearl in a piece of cloth again.
Seeing my behavior, Mazi shouted at me angrily: "Fuck, what the hell do you mean, you don't want to give it?"
"You have to give me something in exchange. Where is the person?" I said gloomily.
Mazi gave me a cold look, then waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring that chick out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman was escorted out from behind the remnant statue of the City God by two guys.
The woman's clothes were messy and her hair was as messy as a bird's nest. She felt as if she had been ruined just now.
"Xia...Officer Xia, why is it you?"
I was dumbfounded at that time. I thought that the person who was brought out should be Chen Qiuyu, but I never thought that it was Xia Yanmeng who was wearing a red skirt.
From this point of view, Mazi must have arrested the wrong person. He must have mistook Xia Yanmeng in disguise for my girlfriend on the bank of the Yellow River ferry.
It wasn't Chen Qiuyu. The huge boulder blocking my heart finally fell.
Although I hate Xia Yanmeng very much, I don't want to see her lose her life again because of me.
Since I made a mistake, let's continue to make mistakes. Anyway, the so-called Canglong Pearl in my hand is also a mistake.
"Uh huh...!"
As soon as she saw me, Xia Yanmeng became excited, but because her mouth was sealed with tape, she could only make a humming sound, and she had no idea what she was talking about.
"What? Aren't you human? I watched you two make love to each other in front of so many people."
Or maybe it was because of my surprise just now that Mazi had doubts in his heart.
I grinned and said: "You are right, this is indeed not my girlfriend, she is my lover, but compared to my girlfriend, I like her more, so in fact you are still The right person has been kidnapped.”
When I said this, Xia Yanmeng kept rolling her eyes at me. This meant that her mouth was sealed and her hands and feet were tied. Otherwise, this woman would definitely rush up to me and argue with me. .
"In that case, stop fucking ink. Since the person is tied correctly, quickly hand over the beads with one hand and hand over the person with the other, smoothly and smoothly!"
Mazi seemed to be impatient. Seeing that everyone had seen me and still didn't hand over the beads, he started shouting impatiently.
Naturally, I didn't want to waste time to avoid changes, so I stretched out the hand holding the luminous pearl in front of my eyes and spread it out.
Mazi moved his body, as if he wanted to come over and take the beads in my hand, but he seemed to be worried that I would be harmful to him. In the end, he asked one of his men to escort Xia Yanmeng towards me.
The handover went very smoothly, Ye Mingzhu was taken away by the subordinate, and Xia Yanmeng also came to my side.
I couldn't wait and hurriedly untied Xia Yanmeng's body, and then gave her a look, which meant telling her to leave quickly.
However, Xia Yanmeng suddenly shook off my arm that was about to hold her, raised her hand and pulled off the tape on her mouth.
"We can't leave, my gun is still in that pockmarked hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mazi, who took the Ye Mingzhu from his subordinate, laughed sinisterly again, "That girl is right, her gun is still in my hand."
I looked back and saw, right? At this moment, the pockmarked man was holding the fake luminous pearl tightly in one hand, and the other hand was holding a pistol, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at me.
I originally thought about running away as soon as the exchange was over, but this time, I couldn't leave even if I wanted to.
Looking at Xia Yanmeng on the side, I really wanted to say something harsh to her. I said to myself, "You've come out in plain clothes in disguise, why are you still carrying that gun!"
Mazi looked at me and Xia Yanmeng with a playful face and continued to smile sinisterly and said: "Boy, don't think you can walk out of here alive. To tell you the truth, if you want the things, you also want your life, double share. Money, I’m rich this time!”
Goatee is really going to kill me. It looks like tonight is going to be a disaster!
