Just a few hours after going to sea, Bai Ning was naturally not in a good mood when he was forced back to land by the members of the Night Demon Society.
During the period of changing ships, Bai Ning seemed very casual. Since the members of the Night Demon Society were determined to sneak in, even if they went to sea again, they would be forced to come back again.
After resting casually for a night in the new ship, all the crew geared up and went to sea again the next day. This time the seabed survey went extremely smoothly, and nothing unusual happened throughout the whole day.
Bai Ning didn't bother to delve into who was the mole here. When he needed to dive into the underwater cave later, he could basically get a rough idea by looking at the individual's skills.
For three days in a row, except for a very short rest period, everyone was working like a workaholic. Fortunately, there were not too many things going on. Although everyone looked tired, the overall morale was still good.
The only thing that puzzled Bai Ning was the exploration results of the nearby shallow sea:
No trace of the existence of an undersea tunnel was found.
Even if it was just luck, they should have had some clues by now, but they found nothing.
Liu Cheng has also seemed very low-key these days, often hiding in corners and eating invisibly. Apart from gradually becoming mellower at a speed visible to the naked eye, it seems to be of no use at all.
Many times, Liu Cheng, who felt extremely guilty when eating, would unconsciously avoid Bai Ning, looking guilty.
"Where are you going to hide now?"
After a long period of fruitlessness, Bai Ning could only stop Liu Cheng, a big loser, and wanted to see what else he would do besides eating.
Swallowing the chicken drumstick in his mouth with a slight embarrassment, Liu Cheng put on the flattering smile on his face again, looking harmless to humans and animals.
“Boss, I see that you leave early and come home late these days, and I couldn’t bear to disturb you, so I deliberately kept a distance.
If you really can't find the undersea tunnel in this estuary area, you might as well look elsewhere. "
As if the food and drink were still unfinished, the idea Liu Cheng gave was just nonsense to delay time.
Apart from eating and waiting to die, it seems that there are no words to describe him.
Seeing Bai Ning's brows furrowed and a look of contempt in his eyes, Liu Cheng, who felt that his free job was about to suffer, could only continue to make amends.
“Boss, I know your time is very valuable, and the explorable process requires a lot of time.
I have been investigating here for so many years, but I still have found nothing. The boss has only been here a few days, and he has already successfully determined the existence of the underground cavity, which is already very impressive.
I believe that with the strength of the boss, we can achieve greater success. "
The more he talked, the more embarrassed he became. Facing the always cold-faced Bai Ning, Liu Cheng simply did not believe that his foolish remarks could have any perfunctory effect.
If not, it will have a very bad reaction, causing him to lose his current good job at a faster rate.
Feeling that the roast chicken in his hand was no longer fragrant, Liu Cheng carefully weighed the deafening silence and was so nervous that he almost farted.
"Is it because you were deprived of funding last time because you were so irresponsible and waited to die?"
It always felt like there was something not being squeezed out of the young man in front of him. Bai Ning deliberately put on a posture of scolding the underachievers, which made Liu Cheng even more nervous.
It’s over!
Free meal tickets are really going away!
After the extreme fear, there was the ultimate relaxation.
“Not really, mainly because they don’t believe anything I say.
This business is all about mutual consent, so it's normal for the company to be withdrawn. "
Liu Cheng, who felt that he was completely finished, returned to a state of indifference, eating the roast chicken in his hand and responding casually.
Anyway, I have been eating and drinking for so many days, and there are not many days where I can eat every day. This trip can be regarded as a good profit.
"Do not believe?
Has anyone ever said a word of disbelief to you? "
After just two bites, Liu Cheng almost choked to death from Bai Ning's two words.
"no.
Aren't you in the same group? "
The stunned Liu Cheng replied blankly, as if he knew for the first time that Bai Ning was willing to believe him.
"I don't have much time. If you have any strange comments, just say them carefully and don't be verbose."
Bai Ning gave another cold command, wanting to see what Liu Cheng, who told strange stories, was hiding.
Regarding Bai Ning's inexplicable trust, Liu Cheng seemed very solemn. After thinking about it for a while, he began to speak slowly.
"It's not a big deal. My ancestors also explored the aftermath of the Yingkou Falling Dragon."
The Yingkou Falling Dragon happened in 1934. When Liu Cheng spoke like this, it was another story that spanned three generations. I wonder if people born during that time all had the common trait of persistence.
"My grandfather's generation came to see the dragon's fall, and they basically went to see the dragon's bones. Only fanatics like my grandfather would revisit the place where the dragon fell.
I don’t know if it was because he went there too many times, but by chance, my grandfather saw a flying dragon in the sky.
Or perhaps, I saw a vague shadow that looked like a flying dragon in the sky.
It is precisely based on this that three generations of our ancestors and grandchildren firmly believe that there must be a dragon's lair in the sea near Yingkou.
Just how to find this dragon's lair, we have struggled for so many years, but still found nothing. "
Liu Cheng briefly introduced the fate of three generations of their grandparents and dragons, but apart from the addition of another sighting of a dragon, this story seemed to have no bright spots.
Now that the fallen dragon has been recognized, there cannot be only one dragon creature.
Therefore, Grandpa Liu Cheng’s second sighting is actually meaningless at the information level.
As for the subsequent conjecture about the dragon's lair, this may be the fundamental reason why Liu Cheng firmly believes that there is an underground cavity under the reed marsh.
At this level, it is definitely not incredible information.
"It's just a very ordinary sighting. I don't think Uncle Qian can make a fuss about this kind of thing."
Bai Ning responded coldly, urging Liu Cheng to continue telling his bizarre story.
After staring at Bai Ning for a few more times, Liu Cheng seemed to have made some important decision and was about to tell the biggest secret in his heart.
"When I was young, I once heard my grandfather and father mention something about the Huanlong clan.
I don’t remember things very clearly at that time, but later I accidentally obtained a notebook from my father, which mentioned some secrets of the Huanlong clan.
Only then did I realize that our Liu family is the Yulong family, which is as famous as the Chuanlong family. We are the only two families in history that are good at raising dragons. "
This piece of information revealed by Liu Cheng instantly caused his net worth to soar to an incredible height.
The descendants of the Yulong clan were like beings from myths and legends suddenly appearing in front of Bai Ning, making the process of searching for the dragon even more sacred.
"Is there any information related to raising dragons recorded in that notebook?"
Bai Ning came back to his senses and asked a very crucial question again.
"I don't know about this. I have never raised a dragon. How do I know if the things recorded in it are related to raising a dragon?"
Liu Cheng looked very embarrassed. He didn't expect Bai Ning to really believe it, and even asked further questions about dragon control.
"Where's the notebook?"
This ambiguous response made Bai Ning frown. Although the question asked directly was a bit presumptuous, it was indeed necessary to ask.
In response, Liu Cheng just smiled awkwardly, and then responded: "I lost it accidentally."
As soon as this statement came out, everything Liu Cheng said before became empty talk.
To put it more seriously, they are just some baseless nonsense, which is simply boring!
Based on Liu Cheng's characteristic of waiting to die, it can be easily concluded that his remarks were just to increase his own survival value and extend the survival time of his project.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the same judgment that Uncle Qian terminated the funding agreement with Liu Cheng.
Staring at Liu Cheng who was smiling slightly, and looking at the faint look of loneliness emanating from his body, Bai Ning felt that he could continue to give him a chance.
What Bai Ning did had a very strong gambling character to it, and there seemed to be no problem in taking a gamble on Liu Cheng.
At most, it's just an idle member of the team.
"Did your father and grandfather pass away, or did they suddenly disappear one day?"
Just when Liu Cheng felt that he was only one statement away from being driven away, Bai Ning's follow-up question surprised him even more.
If you drive someone away, why do you ask him about his father and grandfather?
"I heard that he died in a car accident. The vehicle fell into the river and his body was not found.
I was in school at the time, had no money and no relatives. Apart from getting a memorial tablet for my father, I couldn't do anything else.
As for my grandfather, I only have some memories from childhood, and as for the others, I don’t know.
After I graduated from high school, I had nothing to do, so I often went to play in the reed swamps. Over time, I became a senior expert on Yingkou's falling dragons.
Because I often post and quarrel online, and I don’t want to be chosen by Uncle Qian to support me, I thought at first that there was some guy fishing for law enforcement.
…”
When Liu Cheng recalled his past, he seemed to suddenly start talking and kept talking.
These words are very associative. If we start from the special identity of the Yulong clan, Liu Cheng's father's search for the dragon must be true, and because of the search for the dragon, he also had disputes with some other forces or organizations. .
The sudden disappearance of Liu Cheng's grandfather and father was obviously related to this secret organization. The sudden disappearance of his father's notes was probably stolen by someone with an intention.
