Chapter 225: Crocodile Tears

Gu Yun and Tang Shui once again came to the villa door.

It was getting late, but the security guards in black were still patrolling meticulously. This time when he entered the door, Gu Yun observed more carefully than in the early morning.

The photo frame on the TV cabinet in the living room is a photo of Miss Nan Family. In the photo, Miss Nan Family looks very young. She seems to have just graduated. She playfully gestures to the camera with her scissors hands and smiles brightly.

This time, Tang Shui also saw the photo frame.

The lady of the Nan family at that time would never have thought that in a few years, the Nan family would become the land that it is now.

"Gu Yun, I'll ask you something."

Before entering the security check, Tang Shui moved to Gu Yun's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you believe in the words 'When a person is about to die, his words are good'?"

"Don't believe it."

Gu Yun's answer was not hesitant for a moment.

The dying people he encountered in the past were all madmen who wanted to drag the whole world to bury him with him, so he would not relax his vigilance against anyone who was about to die.

"knew."

The two passed seven strict reviews for the second time. Standing in front of the thick bulletproof glass, Tang Shui made up his clothes that were licked by a wolf dog.

He swore that after he was done, he would definitely go and have a good hot shower.

Or maybe I would give myself a long vacation and relax in the famous hot spring valley for a while. Anyway, the clues about clarification have been cut off, and it is not his turn to worry about what happened next.

When we met for the second time, Qi Lian was sitting at the dining table. There were a wide range of delicious food on the table. The food was mainly Western style. Qi Lian had already poured himself a glass of red wine, holding a knife in his right hand and holding a fork in his left hand. Through the built-in sound transmission device, you could also hear the "sizzling" sound of the meat of the steak.

The gentleman's etiquette contrasts sharply with his fat body, giving people a wonderful sense of comicality.

"I've met again. If it weren't for the extraordinary period, I would definitely invite you to share the food with me."

Qi Lian did not stop his actions.

"It's still no need. I'm afraid there aren't many people who have had dinner with you in this house who can walk out alive?"

Tang Shui said straight to the point. With the style of a reef killer, they must have tried to notify the employer of the failure of the task. He and Gu Yun stayed in the mountain for so long, and Qi Lianxiang must have been fully prepared.

Upon hearing this, Qi Lian did not show too surprised expression, "Yes, twenty years are just in the blink of an eye, and those things seem to be yesterday... You Carmen people told me that someone will come to fulfill the second half of the agreement in twenty years."

"No, he is here to fulfill the agreement. I am introduced by Mr. Jin."

Gu Yun corrected Qi Lian's statement. In fact, he wanted to ask the other party in the morning, "Are you really happy to lock yourself in here?"

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to stand this prison-like life.

"You won't understand, these twenty years have been too short for me."

Qi Lian sighed with emotion and immediately said, "The butler said you have something to hand over to me?"

"Just a jade pendant."

When he heard the word "jade pendant", Qi Lian's expression finally changed. He let go of his hand as if he was electrocuted. The fork and knife fell on the table, making a crisp "bang".

"Give it."

After a long time, Qi Lian gently pressed the button on his cane, and a gap appeared in the bulletproof glass, which was so small that he couldn't even reach into his hand.

Tang Shui took a step forward and pushed the jade pendant through the gap to the other end of the glass.

Qi Lian held the jade pendant tightly, returned to the sofa in a daze, and then leaned back and collapsed on it.

He held the jade pendant in both hands and covered his face.

"I didn't expect... she was waiting for me."

Even the tone of his speech changed. Tang Shui was stunned. He clearly saw a few drops of crystal liquid flowing through Qi Lian's fingers and flowing to the ground.

Qi Lian's reaction after seeing the jade pendant was very different from what Tang Shui imagined, and it was completely different from the story the old butler told them just now.

In the story told by the butler, Qi Lian is willing to use his wife as a tool in order to eliminate his competitors.

How could such a person show such an emotional side after seeing the remains of his deceased wife?

Could it be...

Qi Lian has really developed a sense of regret over the years?

"That's right, she is waiting for you in the cemetery in the mountains. As long as you walk out of here, you will be able to meet her again."

Tang Shui took advantage of the situation and said, "It is better to meet her for the last time instead of staying in the cage all day long. I believe you know that you cannot escape all this forever."

"You heard this story from the butler, right?"

After a long silence, Qi Lian's tone became hoarse and dry, "...I wonder, did he tell you the truth about the accident?"

The atmosphere was a little bit wrong.

The crystal liquid kept flowing on the ground, but Qi Lian's tone did not sound like a crying loudly.

"I will never forget what happened that night..."

When his hands were removed, Gu Yun and Tang Shui were both shocked by the scene they saw.

Qi Lian stared at his eyes wide, his face was ferocious, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he seemed to be reflected in his pupils - from beginning to end, he never left a tear.

What flows to the ground is his saliva.

He put the entire jade pendant in his mouth, and saliva was flowing down the gaps of his lips.

"It's just a little bit short, I'll get her forever. It's a pity. If I had known this, I should have broken her legs and tied her up with chains."

What came together was the sound of wind breaking through the air.

Gu Yun waved his arm and found that the person who attacked them was actually the old butler in his twilight years. This attack was not the force of an ordinary person at all. He frowned and took two steps back. The old butler did not give in at all. The palm of his hand against Gu Yun's right arm suddenly moved, and his two fingers pointed directly at Gu Yun's eyebrows.

"Divine Fire."

The pale flame turned into a hidden arrow and pressed against the barrier built by mental power.

This blow caused countless cracks to appear on the barrier.

"Bang--"

At the same time, Gu Yun swept out his right leg and pressed against the old housekeeper's lower abdomen. The housekeeper was kicked several meters away. Behind the hole in the abdomen was not flesh and internal organs, but the twisted pure white energy.

"And I have also found a more reliable business partner."

Qi Lian was hoarse, and to this day, he clearly remembered every detail that happened that night.

It also includes the name of the sacrifice ceremony.

——『Seeding』.

"This time the opponent is different from before."

The old housekeeper stood still, and the hole in his abdomen had been repaired. He looked directly at Gu Yun, "I didn't expect that we would meet in this way."
