Chapter 163 This is the truth
The truck driver agreed, the car started slowly, and drove along the main road towards Gugu County.
Wang Ningyu and I were very worried along the way. I sat in the car and stared at the window, afraid that I would be discovered by the drone sent by the Shangguan family.
"By the way, the ninth day of the lunar month, my name is Lao Han. Your master knows me. Tell him that I will go to the store to see him when I have time." The driver Lao Han may often run long distances alone and no one talks, so after Wang Ningyu and I got in the car, he kept talking along the way.
More than two hours later, we rushed back to Gugu County overnight without any danger. After the driver left, Wang Ningyu and I quickly walked towards Qin Lao's Qinji Coffin Shop.
When I arrived near Qinji Coffin Shop, I grabbed Wang Ningyu who was about to cross the road and whispered to her:
"Don't go over first, let's see."
I was worried that Shangguan Yanzong might send someone or drones to guard near the Qin Lao Coffin Shop, so I hid in the dark and did not rush to go there.
I squatted on the ground and stared at the gate of Qinji Coffin Shop. I soon found two drones flying out from the roof and behind Qinji Coffin Shop. They stayed in front of the door for a while and then flew to the roof again.
It seems that Mr. Qin has been stared at by Shangguan Yanzong's drone. If we go back now, he will definitely be discovered by him, and it may even implicate Mr. Qin.
Just when I was not sure what to do next, I suddenly thought of Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao lived in the home of his master, Lao Litou, and there would definitely be no drones from the Shangguan family there.
Thinking of this, I immediately took Wang Ningyu and rushed to Lao Li's house while the night was falling.
When I arrived at the gate of Lao Litou's house, I was still the same as before. I was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, I squatted nearby and stared at the gate for a while. After confirming that there were no drones near Lao Litou's house patrolling, I got up and walked over.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" I gently knocked on the door of Lao Li's house.
No one responded in the room, maybe Jiang Chao and Lao Li were already asleep.
Just when I was about to knock on the door again, the voice of Lao Li's head came from the room:
"Who? It's so late."
When I heard Lao Li's words, I quickly spoke:
"Uncle Li, it's me, Chujiu."
After hearing my voice, Old Li in the room quickly opened the door. He looked at Wang Ningyu standing outside the door in a coat and was stunned:
"Qijiu, you...what is there for you to run to me in the middle of the night?"
"Uncle Li, go in first." After I said that, I walked into Uncle Li's house with Wang Ningyu.
Uncle Li opened the wait in the room, but he didn't ask in a hurry. He first poured a cup of hot water for me and Wang Ningyu before asking:
"What happened in the ninth day of the lunar calendar?"
I said:
"Uncle Li, I don't want to implicate you, so don't ask. I came here to find you just to ask you to help call my master Liu Wendao and ask where he is now, and I have to go find him."
Uncle Li seemed to feel the seriousness of the matter when he heard what I said, so he hurried back to his room, took out his cell phone and dialed Liu Wendao's phone number.
The other end of the phone rang for a while before it was connected. After it was connected, my master's panting sound came from the phone:
"Brother Li, you, what's the urgent matter for you to call me in the middle of the night?"
After hearing Liu Wendao's angry voice, Old Li said, "You guy, pay more attention to your health, your apprentice has something urgent to ask you!" Then he handed me my phone.
I walked to the wall and whispered:
"Master, I am Chujiu, Shangguan Yanzong is chasing me..."
"What?! That turtle grandson, dares to touch my Liu Wendao's apprentice! Chujiu, where are you now? I'll go there right away!" Liu Wendao's tone changed after hearing this.
"I'm at Mr. Li's house now." I said.
"Okay, don't go anywhere. I'll go there now, I'll arrive soon. Don't run around! Call me as soon as possible and hang up first." Liu Wendao hurriedly hung up the phone.
After contacting my master, I returned the phone to Lao Li:
"Uncle Li, thank you."
After hearing this, Lao Li patted my shoulder hard and said:
"Chujiu, how could you be polite to me? I heard it just now. The Shangguan Yanzong you mentioned is the patriarch of the Shangguan family, one of the four major families. How did you provoke him?"
Lao Li's words surprised me a little. I just walked away and lowered my voice, but I still couldn't escape his ears.
Since Lao Li already knew about it, I briefly told Lao Li about the whole story.
After Lao Li learned that the woman who came in with me was Wang Ningyu, the wife of Shangguan Yanzong, his face instantly became ugly. After he glanced at me, he pulled me down into the inner room.
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with bringing me here?" I asked.
Old Li looked at me and asked:
"Chujiu, do you know that Wang Ningyu?"
I shook my head:
"I don't know, I haven't met her a few times."
Old Li continued to say to me:
"She is not a good person. Think about it, she is not a family, and she doesn't enter the family. This woman Wang Ningyu killed people when she was young, and even her own brother and biological parents were killed. Shangguan Yanzong was attracted by her cruel and decisive spirit and married her. Do you think she might betray Shangguan Yanzong and stand on the same front with us?!"
Lao Li's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring them all over on me.
Before I could digest everything he said, there was a knock on the door outside:
"Bang! Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ningyu's voice came in from outside the door:
"I heard what you said just now. Can I come in and say a few words?"
Old Li's body trembled after hearing this. He looked at Wang Ningyu standing outside the door and said:
“The door is not locked.”
Wang Ningyu pushed open the door. She did not walk in, but stood opposite me and spoke:
"I know that I had a bad reputation in the past, and I also know that I had committed a heinous crime. I have never refuted or denied it. But old gentleman, please treat me with admiration for three days. I am not the same as before, and you should not doubt me. If you think I am an undercover agent and deliberately trick Chujiu to find his master and you guys and then catch you all in one go, then my mission has been completed. Shangguan Yanzong should have arrived for so long, right? Why should I stand here and explain to you?"
After hearing Wang Ningyu's words, Old Li was still full of vigilance towards her:
"Everyone will say good things, but the upper and lower lips move."
Wang Ningyu nodded, with a firm look in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
