The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands 2

Chapter 206: Seeing Lin Qizhong Again

Wang Meng looked at me. He still had some professional qualities, and knew who the boss was.

I nodded, and told him to drive slowly, but not to leave town. Lin Qizhong and I had an account to settle.

The man had to know something, which was why he threw me into the wild mountains to feed that fox. But I didn't believe he had anything to do with that family, because his methods were too low-end.

That family wasn't willing to use too much violence, because once they did, it was a painful and grueling process to eliminate any sort of clues.

Wang Meng handed me the information he had found after investigating Lin Qizhong. Of course, it wasn't done by his own abilities. Instead, it should be the fragments he had gathered and sorted from the people in this business who were good at investigating.

I flipped through it, and found that it was similar to what I had heard from my friend. The information was only two or three pages, so this guy was either really very simple, or had a strong background. I naturally preferred the former, because the chance of meeting a senior undercover agent wasn't all that high.

As the car continued forward, and no one followed, Che Zhong said to me, "Now you know. Your grandfather left Brother Xiao Man for your use. After the hei feizi began changing the way they monitored, these dogs had no effect in the wild. Based on common sense, your grandfather would have started training dogs that could identify the hei feizi in a crowd, but he suddenly stopped the plan."

"Why?"

"Probably because he wasn't sure if that was the right time to confront the family behind the hei feizi. I believe your grandfather thought about it, but he remembered one thing that helped him endure it."

Che Zhong touched Brother Xiao Man's back and calmed down. "Zhang Qishan's and The Mystic Nine's real purpose for the killings in Changsha back in the day."

"Wasn't it because Qiu Dekao's betrayal made the purge from the top unstoppable, so the only way to save enough people was to follow that era's trend?"

"That was just the effect, it wasn't the cause. Such a large-scale massacre occurred because a large number of people began realizing the existence of the hei feizi. If Zhang Qishan didn't forcibly stop it, then the hei feizi would start destroying those who were spreading the news, and there would have been far more deaths. All of those people's friends, partners, and children would have been wiped out. Qiu Dekao's appearance only relieved some of the psychological burden on Zhang Qishan." Che Zhong said. "So, if your grandfather started training his dogs to deal with the hei feizi, he was afraid your family wouldn't exist now."

If the enemy was strong enough, then you shouldn't provoke him. It was just like knowing there was a Schwarzenegger-like thief hiding under your bed. Going in and confronting him was basically equal to death.

"Did the hei feizi know that my grandfather noticed them?"

"You should know that there's nothing in this world they don't know. I even believe your grandfather contacted them. Under normal circumstances, the hei feizi would never let your grandfather go, but they seem to have a very strong bond with the Wu family. I believe your grandfather must have a lot of things he never told anyone." Che Zhong said, "But whatever the case, he left you this kind of dog in the end. This dog is the only one in the world, so your grandfather's objective is obvious. He thinks you need this dog."

I also patted Brother Xiao Man on the neck, and he used his hind legs to scratch contentedly. Che Zhong said, "I've been living a very low-key life in order to raise this dog for your family. I believe the hei feizi didn't notice before, but now it seems like they've begun to gather around us. I killed Bao Sa on the spot, so he shouldn't have been able to send any messages. I usually act alone, and while we were together, my dogs were scattered in the woods a few kilometers away. There shouldn't be any flaws." He looked at me and said, "They're definitely interested in you, but Brother Xiao Man didn't find any dark spots around you before. Judging from the situation just now, however, they should be surveilling you from all sides. Why is that?"

I had guessed right. The person I met in the hospital just now should be part of the hei feizi group.

It appeared that Che Zhong had checked around me before, and after thinking about it, I realized what had happened.

There were three possibilities.

First, it wasn't that dark spots had appeared around me, but that the place we were going to was more important to the hei feizi. As a result, they had indiscriminately strengthened their vigilance to watch for anyone entering and leaving this place.

Second, we revealed a flaw.

Third, I was here. Maybe the combination of these two conditions triggered a certain idea among them.

But they still only stepped up their surveillance, and didn't make any moves, which indicated that we didn't need to worry too much.

I had long since learned not to worry about things beyond my control.

The car stopped downstairs at Lin Qizhong's house. I got out, told Che Zhong to rest in the car, and took Brother Xiao Man up to see if Lin Qizhong was clean. Wang Meng kindly handed me a machete, and I compared it with my Kukri. My Kukri was better than the machete when it came to attacking, but the machete looked much more imposing, so I took it upstairs with me. I kicked the door in, and then rushed in.

I thought they might have run away long ago, but I didn't expect to see Lin Qizhong sitting on the edge of the coffee table, cracking melon seeds, and watching TV. He was staring at the TV with a blank face, and didn't show any expression when he saw me.

When I got in front of him, and slashed towards him with the knife, he finally reacted. He shrank his head back, threw the melon seeds on the table straight at my face, and tried to run out. When I kicked him down on the sofa, Wang Meng came in and grabbed him by the collar to try to pull him up.

Unfortunately, his physical strength wasn't even worth mentioning, and the thin and weak lecturer was surprisingly strong. He pushed Wang Meng away, and was about to go to the door, when he saw Brother Xiao Man squatting there. A dog of that size did have a deterrent effect, and Lin Qizhong immediately slipped, and fell to the ground.

As expected, Brother Xiao Man didn't even look him in the eye.

I felt even more relieved as I went up and grabbed him by the back of the neck, and lifted him up. He struggled like crazy, and I almost lost my grip. I gritted my teeth, and said to Wang Meng, "Give him two punches in the stomach to make him honest."

Wang Meng waved his hand: "I applied to be a shop assistant back then."

"You got a promotion! Now you're the head of security." I cursed at him.

Wang Meng came up, and with only one punch, I could hear the sound of his hand bones rubbing together. He held his hand, and jumped back in pain.

But one punch was enough for Lin Qizhong. He curled up in pain, and I dumped him on the coffee table.

I brought the machete forward to threaten him, but saw him turn around and wave at me: "If you move again, I'll release my sister."
