Site selection is the biggest difficulty, and once it’s settled, it’s time to expand the territory.
Taozi has a very wide network of contacts in society, so she asked Lao Huang to contact several construction site bosses. All kinds of construction vehicles seemed to be free of charge, and almost occupied the entire construction site.
The foreman came to me and came up with a complete plan.
Due to years of disrepair, the foundation below is not in good condition, and the four beams and eight columns in the house are almost rotten.
For safety reasons, it is not recommended to renovate, but to overthrow and re-cover.
This project was bigger than I expected, but it was still worth it.
But fortunately, there are many manpower and sufficient equipment, so the construction period will be greatly shortened and it is expected to be completed in one month.
For me, it's also a good thing. I can take advantage of this opportunity to recruit troops.
However, this is also a big problem for me.
Let’s not talk about whether there are people who are willing to be Taoist priests. Even if there are, the cost of training a person is too high.
The most important thing is that I don’t even have the Taoist teachings now, and I have forgotten everything I have learned.
Strictly speaking, I can only be considered a former Taoist priest.
So, I need a helper who can take charge of the situation for me.
Ji Canghai was the first choice, but he didn't understand Taoist priests and was a bit pushy.
I thought about many people, but I was rejected one by one.
This person is equivalent to the second me, so I can only choose to be cautious.
After all these things were done, a stone fell from my heart.
Everything seems to be slowly getting better.
After finishing all this work, Taozi and I got into the car and were about to go back. The car just drove out of the city. I inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror and suddenly saw an injured figure in the back seat.
No matter how brave I am, I can't stand this sudden attack!
The moment I turned around, my hand had already reached under the seat. It wasn't until I touched a piece of iron that I felt at ease.
This is the electric baton I usually hide in my peach car to prevent this kind of thing.
Taozi was also startled. The steering wheel shook a few times before the car got back on track.
"take it easy."
The person in the back seat of the car actually started to comfort him: "Just drive forward."
Taozi glanced behind her and chuckled: "You don't want to ask whose car this is! I'm not the one who should be nervous, right?"
I stared at him intently, but he wrapped himself too tightly. We were in the same car, and I couldn't see his eyes.
I patted Taozi's hand and said, "Drive with peace of mind, it's okay."
After saying that, I took out the electric baton completely and got into the back row along the middle of the armrest.
He moved aside to make room for me.
I sat down heavily next to him, the electric baton in my hand was emitting red and blue sparks: "You are quite capable if you can touch this car quietly."
"Tell me where you are, my friend."
He tightened his collar: "I don't want money, and I don't want to kill anyone."
While he was talking, he put his hand in front of me and said in a deep voice: "Duan Xu, one of my own."
"One of my own?"
Why don't I remember having such a friend?
I turned the electric baton into my hand, and held his right hand tightly together: "I'm a stupid person, I really can't remember, please forgive me!"
"It's okay."
He waved his hand magnanimously: "I saw it in Nine Days Square a few days ago. You don't know me, but I know you."
Nine Days Plaza? Chen Qu?
I immediately pressed my thumb on the switch. If there was anything wrong, I immediately fired the electric baton!
All the vigilance was hidden in my heart, and I still kept a smile on my face.
"Then tell me, what did you see?"
Duan Xu straightened his back and pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose: "On the day of Chen Qu's accident, I was working as an internal response on the outside. When I didn't come at the appointed time, I went to Nine Days Plaza."
"I happened to see him get into a car accident. It was you and others who carried Chen Qu to the ambulance. Am I right?"
I hummed softly and focused entirely on the electric baton.
The more he knew, the more dangerous I was.
Duan Xu didn't seem to care about the electric baton in my hand at all, and continued: "Later, I saw you drive away. I followed you all the way until you parked the car in the suburbs and covered it with grass."
I couldn't help but laugh: "I covered the car, so you think I'm one of your own?"
"If you weren't, you would definitely find a way to open the trunk of the car and expose the contents to the world, wouldn't you?"
Listening to his confident analysis, I just felt scared...
