Damn it, if he doesn't die, I don't know if his head can be restored. How can I face people with a flat head all day long
Then my hands and feet could not move, my body was squeezed painfully, and after being in the water for a long time, I had used up all my breath, and I felt like my whole body was going to burst. It was like a balloon that was blown up by clapping it with both hands, and with a "pop" sound, I was done.
Just when I was full of panic, suddenly the huge pressure disappeared, and the river water gradually became warmer, feeling much more comfortable. I quickly used my hands and feet to float to the surface, opened my mouth and gasped, and my head still felt swollen and uncomfortable, and there were stars in front of my eyes.
I had already made up my mind to die, so why did Zhao Chengshi suddenly let me go? I felt really puzzled. Could it be that Chen Ming saved me again? I thought it was possible. If he hadn't let me go in the hospital, my pink little neck would have been crushed into pulp by Zhao Chengshi.
This time I guessed wrong, because when I swam to the shore, I found a man sitting on the river bank, and he reached out to pull me up. In the moonlight, I could vaguely recognize him as Boss Gu, panting, as if he had just done some intense activity. His slightly bloated body kept rising and falling, and the scar on his face looked particularly hideous and terrifying in the moonlight.
"Boss Gu, why are you here?" I found that I was a bit stupid when I met him, and the questions I asked were all nonsense. I guess he came to save me.
"Ahem, if I hadn't come, you would have become a water ghost." Boss Gu said with a breath out of breath.
"Thank you, Boss Gu. How did you know I was in danger and come here to save me?" I asked curiously as I sat next to him.
Boss Gu took a few breaths, and a smile appeared on his serious face. He said, "Last time I was injured and went back to the provincial capital to recuperate for a few days. I was worried that you couldn't deal with the stealing ghost, so I came back to check. I didn't expect to see you desperately running away just outside the town, so I followed you. You are lucky."
I was stunned. The relationship between him, my father and I was just a business relationship. Why was he so concerned about my safety
Boss Gu seemed to see through my thoughts from my expression, and laughed, "Your father and I have a life-long friendship. Back then, we fought the enemy side by side in the provincial capital. Later, I helped him take care of Shen Bing until she grew up..."
"Ah" I couldn't help but exclaimed. I didn't expect that the person who secretly protected Shen Bing was him!
"Are you in trouble now?" asked Boss Gu.
I nodded. Since he was my dad's close friend and had just saved my life, I told him everything that happened during this trip to the underworld without hiding anything.
Boss Gu listened to me without saying a word, and suddenly a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He said to me: "Do you know that there is a secret about the black pearls refined by your Xi family?"
I was startled: "I don't know, what secret?" Isn't it made from ghost teeth? Collecting a hundred of them can extract the evil spirits of a hundred ghosts and make a charm treasure? This secret is no longer a secret. He should know it. I guess there is another explanation.
Boss Gu's face darkened for a moment and he said, "Your father and I once discovered a great secret about black pearls, so we decided not to tell anyone at the time. But unexpectedly, Zhao Chengshi still found a clue from it, and has been secretly looking for someone to buy black pearls in recent years. The antique dealer that Old Yan introduced to you actually sold all the black pearls to Zhao Chengshi. Even Old Yan didn't know about this, and thought he was a legitimate businessman."
I was even more surprised. This bastard Zhao Chengshi was so secretive that he even fooled Old Yan. I asked quickly, "What secret is hidden in this black pearl?"
