In the ancestral home of the Ji family in Changxi City, Ji Mu stood in front of the family ancestral hall, watching his grandmother twisting rosary beads and knocking on the wooden fish. His grandmother was a devout Buddhist. Since his grandfather passed away more than 20 years ago, he has He has been living in a side room of the ancestral hall, rarely stepping out of the courtyard, and has always been indifferent to family affairs.
Ji Mu has been rebellious since he was a child, but his character is not domineering. After passing through the arrogant period in his youth, he is now relatively mature and stable. He had been close to his grandma since he was a child. After hanging up the phone from Tang Xiu, he subconsciously came here.
He knows one truth: Wealth can be found in danger.
The scene I saw two days ago revealed Tang Xiu's secret. Although he had already taken out a lot of treasures and tried his best to establish some friendship with Tang Xiu, but if he wanted to learn the amazing ability to soar through the clouds and turn the clouds upside down, he had to gamble his life.
"Grandma, I want to talk to you."
In the past, Ji Mu would never interrupt grandma's retreat, but the time agreed between him and Tang Xiu was very short, so he made an exception.
Mrs. Hu's closed eyes opened, and with a flash of wisdom, she stopped beating the wooden fish, gently stood up from the futon, turned to look at her grandson outside and said, "What happened?"
Ji Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Grandma, I have made a decision in my heart to do something very important. Before I leave, I want to say a few words to you. I can only listen to your voice. Only then can you calm down.”
Mrs. Hu was silent for a while, then slowly asked: "Is it dangerous?"
Ji Mu nodded, shook his head, and said: "The ancients said: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Wealth is found in danger. I want that wealth, so I want to take risks."
Mrs. Hu frowned and asked, "The wealth the Ji family gave you can't satisfy your appetite?"
Ji Mu shook his head and said: "Grandma, it's different. That kind of wealth cannot be bought with money, not even gold and silver."
Mrs. Hu took a deep look at him and said, "Since even gold and silver cannot buy you wealth, it's okay to give it a try. But you have to think clearly, you are still young, very young."
Ji Mu was silent.
He knew he was young, but he believed it was this youth that fueled his ambition. It is said that the more you have, the more you are afraid of losing. He has not yet taken over the Ji family's property. His parents and uncles are in their prime, so all he has now is the Ji family's identity and a wealthy life.
Hu asked: "Have you discussed it with your parents? Do all the uncles in the clan know?"
Ji Mu shook his head and said, "I can't say."
Mrs. Hu sighed: "Do you need grandma to do anything?"
Ji Mu smiled and said: "No, I have done everything I can do. The next step is to do my best and obey fate. If he wants me to die, even if our entire Ji family tries our best, I'm afraid it won't be able to change my fate. You Don’t worry! I’ve given him some treasures in advance, and the chance of him coming back alive is still very high.”
he
baby
Mrs. Hu's wrinkled face was slightly stunned. Seeing her grandson's bright smile, she suddenly made up her mind. She turned around and walked towards the desk where the ancestral tablets were enshrined. From the drawer on the far left of the desk, she , take out a rectangular wooden box. Gently reaching out to wipe away the dust, she returned to Ji Mu and said, "Our Ji family was a high-ranking official in the court during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although most of our family's treasures were lost in the turbulent years, after all, we still have There are some good things coming down. Take this wooden box and give it to him as a gift! If he can discern the things inside, it will increase the chance that you will come back."
Ji Mu's hands were trembling a little. Although he didn't know what treasures were in the wooden box, the fact that it could be placed in the ancestral hall meant that it was definitely a good thing. And grandma was willing to give it away for herself. This love for him made him so moved that he wanted to cry.
"Grandson, go!"
Mrs. Hu waved her hands gently, turned around and sat back on the futon.
Shanghai, Century Square.
Yu Shuqing crossed her legs and sat on a bench at the north end of the square, holding the hot milk tea she just bought in her hand and chewing the last bite of grilled sausage in her mouth. As the captain of the most mysterious Phantom Special Forces in China, he has been on the verge of life and death countless times, but at this moment he seems like an ordinary person who is not doing his job properly.
"Boss, do you think that greedy guy will come?"
On the edge of the flower bed next to Yu Shuqing, Mo Xiaonan squatted there and yawned in boredom. Only the occasional beauties with good figures who pass by can make him feel a little energetic.
Yu Shuqing said casually: "Since he is greedy for profit, he will not miss the opportunity to get rich. Although that guy has a lot of evil ways, he still has some ability. Otherwise, how can he get information that even the intelligence department cannot find? Maybe get it again and again?”
Mo Xiaonan hummed and said: "He is somewhat capable, but his heart is too dark. The price is getting higher every time, and this time it is a full one million. Although we don't pay for it ourselves, I still feel sad."
Yu Shuqing curled his lips, took a sip of milk tea and asked with a half-smile: "Do you think one million is more important, or each life?"
"Well… "
Mo Xiaonan raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed and stopped talking.
After a short while, a young man dressed in flashy clothes and full of air came to Yu Shuqing and Mo Xiaonan in a sly manner. His sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face had a look of wealth and wealth, and he sat down on the long table where Yu Shuqing was sitting. On the edge of the chair, he took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes, took out one, lit it and took a deep breath. Then he laughed and said: "Money, money, money, give me the money quickly. My time is precious, every minute I waste is wasted." Every second is equivalent to white money flowing out from the cracks of your fingers."
Yu Shuqing said indifferently: "Mouse, I understand the rules in the industry. You get what you pay for. If there is no goods, don't rush to get the money."
Mouse quickly took out a dirty black notebook from his pocket, threw it to Yu Shuqing and said, "I know you understand the rules, and our transactions are not once or twice. My Mouse's reputation is guaranteed, and I am not afraid of you defaulting on your debt." The information you want is all in the notebook, and my account number is also in it."
Yu Shuqing nodded, drank all the milk tea in the cup, then stood up and said: "Still the old rules, half of the deposit will be transferred to your account within half an hour, and if the information is confirmed, the remaining half will be credited. As a side note, are you interested in being recruited by the country? Become a field officer of the intelligence department? "
The mouse blinked and asked, "Is it a lot of money?"
Yu Shuqing rolled his eyes and was too lazy to deal with this money-obsessed guy anymore, and left with Mo Xiaonan, who didn't look very good.
The mouse was not in a hurry to leave. He raised his hand and touched his chin. He looked at the backs of Yu Shuqing and Mo Xiaonan as they left, with some thoughts swirling in his mind. Through Yu Shuqing's digression just now, he figured out Yu Shuqing's identity for the first time... as a member of the country.
"It should be a soldier, and not an ordinary soldier."
The mouse bit the cigarette handle and leaned lazily on the bench. He took out his mobile phone and waited for the text message reminder that the money was credited.
"Are you a mouse?"
Two figures appeared in front of the mouse. The middle-aged man on the left had blazing eyes, a frosty expression, and spoke with an air of calmness and authority.
The mouse frowned, and as his eyes quickly moved a few times, one of his hands was already in his pocket. As the handle of the knife was held by him, he slowly raised his head, looked at the two middle-aged people and asked: "Which path are you two friends from? I wonder what you want to see my elder brother for?"
"Yes, although he is called a mouse, he is as cunning as a fox. As expected from the intelligence investigation, he is indeed a natural expert in intelligence. Let me introduce myself, my name is Jin Shi, and I want to make a deal with you."
"Golden Lion?"
The mouse narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely vigilant. He knew that his identity had been investigated by the other party, so some of the deceptions he just said had no effect at all. He has dealt with countless people of all kinds in his life, including some characters that he was afraid of. For example: the two people from the country who just left.
but.
The golden lion and his companions in front of him gave the mouse a great sense of threat. No one knew that the sweat pores all over his body had stood up just now, and the cold wind was chilling on the back of his neck.
"What deal?"
Mouse asked pretending to be calm.
Jin Shi said: "Detailed information on multiple murder cases in Shanghai gives you another chance to be included in our collection. You only have two chances to refuse."
The mouse showed a strange expression. He never expected that the other party would offer such a ridiculous deal. Being incorporated? He possesses the powerful role of Shanghai's "Underground Eye" and has a good grasp of every underground sewer in Shanghai, but he wants to be used as a guinea pig by the other party
The mouse cleared his throat and laughed dryly: "Before I refuse, I need to know who you are."
Jin Shi said: "I knew you needed a second chance. We are from Baiyan Restaurant. Maybe you don't know much about us, but we are stronger than you think."
Baiyan Restaurant
The highest-end Baiyan restaurant in Shanghai
Jin Shi secretly despised it. Even if Baiyan Restaurant had a strong power behind its back, could it be compared with the entire country? Just now, he rejected the country's invitation.
"I reject."
Mouse said unequivocally.
The golden lion grinned and said: "You wasted your first opportunity. I will give you another chance to choose between life and death. If you want to live, join us; if you want to die, reject us."
The mouse raised his voice and shouted: "You are committing forced buying and selling, and you will be despised and laughed at by others. Furthermore, as a result of chasing the ducks to the shelves, it is very likely that you will not get any benefits, but you will be embarrassed all over."
Jin Shi smiled and said, "I heard that you like money?"
