“Hahahaha…” Xie Jingwen laughed wildly behind me, “That’s right! You have to keep your tail between your legs when you are a human being, otherwise, someone will always teach you how to do it!”
I turned to look at Xie Jingwen: "If Monk Shi dies, I will let you be buried with him!"
Xie Jingwen was stunned for two or three seconds before he shouted angrily: "Wu Zhao, don't say polite words, I won't fall for it! If you have the guts, kill me now, otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Ye Jin's eyes turned cold, and he was about to turn around, but I stretched out my hand to stop him: "Don't fight in vain, save the monk first."
Ye Jin pointed at Jie Jingwen, then opened the car door and rushed to the train station. However, all the tickets at the train station were sold out. After walking around the station for a few times, Ye Jin pointed at a well-dressed man and shouted, "Come here."
The man took two quick steps and said, "Brother Ye, what do you want me to do?"
Ye Jin said that he had some connections with all kinds of people. He knew at first glance that the man he was looking for was someone who was looking for food around the train station.
Ye Jin said directly: "Get me four tickets to Hunan."
The man said in embarrassment: "Brother Ye, all the train tickets to Hunan in the next two days have been bought out, and we really can't get one. The high-speed rail is not like the green train, we can still help you get on that one, but this one is probably..."
Ye Jin's face was gloomy and he asked, "Who bought it?"
The man whispered, "A company said they were planning to take their employees on a group trip to Hunan, and they got several hundred people to come and sell tickets. Brother Ye, why don't you wait for two days?"
Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "I understand. Go ahead! Help me get a train ticket for two days later. If you can't get it, I'll kill you."
I didn't expect Xie Jingwen to do this. What he did was to postpone our trip by two days. By the time we got to Xiangxi, it was too late for anything. But no matter how anxious we were, we couldn't fly to Xiangxi!
Ye Jin said: "I'll go get the plane tickets. I just don't believe it..."
Just as I was about to speak, I heard Dou Po say, "It will be too late by the time you get there."
"Mother Dou?" When Ye Jin's face turned red, Mother Dou took out four train tickets from her pocket and said, "Take them!"
Ye Jin took the ticket in a daze and said, "Mom Dou, where did you get this ticket from?"
Dou Po answered irrelevantly: "I have been here for a long time, but I have not come out just to teach you a lesson. You are all very smart, you can plan and break the situation. However, you have overlooked one problem. The smarter a person is, the more likely he is to fall into trouble over trivial matters."
"Smart people tend to consider complex things first, calculating every step, but tend to ignore small things because they think those things will not pose a threat to themselves. But this time, is it the opposite?"
I nodded and said, "Po Dou is right, I was wrong!"
After I finalized the deal with Jiang Yan yesterday, I felt that he would definitely bring tickets for us when he went to buy them, because businessmen tend to be very thoughtful, and the more successful a person is in business, the more so.
Didn’t Xie Jingwen and his men take advantage of this loophole and prevent us from getting on the bus
While I was admitting my mistake, Ye Jin said, "Dou Ma, you must have made a mistake. Why did you get us four green tickets? You should have bought the high-speed train!"
Dou Po smiled and said, "Think about it again, am I right to buy a green ticket?"
"Yes!" I said, "On the high-speed train, our weapons will not be easy to pass the security check. Besides, the high-speed train cannot stop midway. If an accident happens on the high-speed train, we won't even have a chance to jump out of the train. Compared to the high-speed train, it is much safer to take the green train."
Grandma Dou smiled and said, "Think about it again!"
I suddenly realized, "If we follow the high-speed rail, we'll be fooled. Xie Jingwen gave us the illusion that he was going to Xiangxi by high-speed rail, but in fact, they were also taking a green train."
"We can't catch up with them even if we try to catch them by high-speed rail. The only way to be faster than them is to take a plane. If we get off the plane and try to surround Jie Jingwen, we will definitely come up empty-handed. Then, we will probably be like headless flies trying to find him."
"As long as they do something, we will be fooled and have to run around in circles, looking for people all over Xiangxi. Maybe they have already completed their business, but we can't even find their shadow."
Ye Jin took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, we didn't chase them to death. But, did Xie Jingwen have the brains to plot against us?"
Grandma Dou said in a deep voice: "This is Sun Xiaomei's style. Sun Xiaomei's calculations are unpredictable, sometimes extremely complicated, and sometimes extremely simple, simple enough to make people regret it, because if he had thought a little more, he would not have been fooled, but often that point is the easiest thing for people to overlook."
Grandma Dou said, "I think it's Sun Xiaomei who's personally leading the team to cause trouble for you this time. Xie Jingwen alone doesn't have the courage to enter the heart of Xiangxi. You better be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, we will!" I bowed to Grandma Dou and said, "Grandma Dou, how much will it cost to check Sun Yifan's information?"
"It's free!" Dou Po smiled, "Don't ask me why. Anyway, all the information about him and the Seven Beauties of Yanyue is free."
"Thank you very much! Let's go first. Please send me the information via your cell phone." I hurriedly said goodbye to Dou Po and got on the train with Ye Jin and the others.
After the high-speed rail was put into operation, fewer and fewer people took the green trains, and there were only four of us in the entire carriage. Sun Xiaomei and her friends should be in one of the carriages, but I didn't go to look for them. Instead, I sat in the carriage and thought about how to deal with Sun Xiaomei.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Ye Jin couldn't help but ask, "What do you think Sun Xiaomei will do next?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm thinking about what we should do next. Sun Xiaomei must have taken away all the insiders. Even if we go to Fenghuang Ancient Town, we don't know what they have done or where they have been. We can only follow them. This way, we are passive."
"Sun Xiaomei can cut off our clues at any time, and even use the clues to threaten us and make us take the lead. No matter what, the initiative is in their hands!"
Ye Jin knocked on the table and said, "Can't you think of a quick solution to take back the initiative?"
"How can we change it? Right now, the resources we have are totally unequal, unless we can threaten Sun Xiaomei." I said in a deep voice, "Let's wait until we enter the heart of Miaojiang. At that time, maybe we can come up with some tricks..."
While I was talking, my phone suddenly rang. I clicked on it and saw that it was Dou Po who sent me information. I flipped through a few pages and said, "Sun Yifan has a lot of assets! Could he be a sorcerer?"
Lu Xiaoying explained: "The overlords of the art of magic, such as Xuan Jingsi, no longer rely solely on the business of the art of magic to maintain their operations. They have a large number of industries under their command, and they do not prohibit their subordinates from doing business. Otherwise, how can they maintain their huge expenses?"
Lu Xiaoying was right. There were many people who believed in ghosts and gods in this world, but there were even more who did not. Even if some people suspected that they had seen a ghost, they would not necessarily go to a sorcerer for exorcism. Moreover, the Xuanjing Division did not accept ordinary business. Without the support of secular industries, it was indeed difficult for them to operate.
I looked through the information and said, "Sun Yifan is very smart. He knows that he can't eat alone, so he often partners with others in many things. His connections in Xuan Jing Division are mostly supported by business."
"It's a pity that there are no business tycoons among us, otherwise, we could make something of this."
"Who said we don't have any connections?" Ye Jin picked up the phone and dialed, "Find Yan Luo for me... Yes, I'm Ye Jin. You should repay the favor you owe me... I'll give you some information later. I want that guy named Sun Yifan to go bankrupt. But I don't want to get involved with anyone else, so you can handle it yourself."
Ye Jin hung up the phone and said, "Don't worry, in a few days, I can make Sun Yifan vomit yellow water!"
Lu Xiaoying asked seriously: "Is the person you contacted Ye Yanluo?"
"Yes!" Ye Jin nodded in response.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is Ye Yanluo?"
"A rare genius in the business world." Lu Xiaoying explained, "Ye Yanluo's businesses are all over the world. Although he follows the rules in China, he is a veritable underground emperor abroad. Moreover, this person is extremely low-key and rarely appears in the public eye. Therefore, not many people know Ye Yanluo. However, if someone really provokes Ye Yanluo, he will cling to them like a wronged ghost and will never give up until the other party is dead or alive."
Lu Xiaoying looked at Ye Jin and asked, "How do you know Ye Yanluo?"
Ye Jin said vaguely, "When I was traveling in Europe before, I accidentally saved Ye Yanluo once, and he agreed to owe me three requests. I didn't look for him before, just because I didn't want to ask for a return favor. But this time is different."
"So that's how it is!" Lu Xiaoying's tone was clearly filled with disbelief, and I also felt that Ye Jin was not telling the truth. However, everyone has some secrets in their hearts, and if he doesn't want to talk about it, I naturally won't ask him about it.
I was about to change the subject when I was suddenly startled and turned to look at Monk Shi: "Monk, monk, are you okay?"
Monk Shi usually talks a lot, and he loves to chat whenever he has nothing to do. With his personality, even if he knows he will lose his head tomorrow, he has to talk and make a fuss today to feel that he has made enough. Why didn't he say a word after getting in the car? Especially when he heard Ye Jin come up with a way to deal with Sun Xiaomei, he should be even more excited!
When the three of us looked at Monk Shi at the same time, Monk Shi, who seemed drowsy, barely raised his head and smiled at me. I couldn't tell whether he was answering me or just said "Oh" unconsciously and then lowered his head.
I raised my hand and touched the monk's forehead, only to find that his head was burning hot. "Oh no, the poison in his body has taken effect. We must find a way to cool him down. Who of you has antipyretic medicine?" (To be continued)
