Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

The next day, when the sun rose from the horizon again.

Saint George, which had previously been in a state of panic due to the sudden closure of the city and roads and the entry of a large army into the city, has now lifted the martial law and restored its former prosperity and bustle.

However, although the situation was calm on the surface, the dark world was in turmoil because Du Weiguo disappeared.

Even Guo Fu and Su Li didn't know when and how he left, let alone where he went.

When the news spread, everyone panicked.

Although the previous battle with Skunk and his men took place in an uninhabited area of ​​the rainforest, Du Weiguo did not make any real public appearance.

However, the news of his secret return to Saint Georgetown was still known to some people.

After all, he had been to many places, and there were now dozens of intelligence agencies of all sizes stationed in the city, and there were many well-informed people.

Among them, Citigroup had the biggest reaction. President Johnson, who was about to step down, immediately took the CIA director on Air Force One and went to Europe for an overnight visit.

The new head of the Rothschild family, the head of the Rockefeller family, and several high-ranking members of the Illuminati also hid away in the name of recuperation.

Even the election that was in full swing had become somewhat deserted.

After all, Guyana is too close to Citigroup's homeland, separated only by the colander-shaped Gulf of Mexico.

It takes about 4 hours to reach the East Coast of Citigroup by civilian aircraft, and more than 2 hours by fighter jet.

Although the little tricks that Yu Hanliang and his team did in St. George's this time had little to do with Citibank, it is even possible that they were not aware of it.

But Du Weiguo's grandson has never been a reasonable person, right?

Anyway, there is an old grudge, and now he is at his doorstep. What if he is so excited that he really goes to Citibank for a stroll?

The son of a wealthy family cannot sit idle in the hall. None of these powerful men dare to bet on the character of Du Weiguo, a murderer.

"Master, do you think he left so suddenly without saying anything this time? Is he disappointed in us?"

In the study room of the Green Building, Guo Fu and Su Li sat opposite each other. The atmosphere was quite depressing and her voice was trembling slightly.

"Not really. At most you're disappointed in me. You didn't do anything wrong."

Su Li was silent for a long time before he spoke. Although his voice was still steady, one could vaguely hear a hint of loneliness in his tone.

Although Yu Hanliang and his group's visit to Shengzhidun did not cause huge and irreparable losses, it still made him nervous.

In just a few months, they infiltrated Saint Zhidun like a rotten sieve, corrupting even his and Guo Fu's trusted subordinates.

If Du Weiguo hadn't accidentally discovered the clues and eliminated them swiftly with lightning speed.

It is hard to imagine how bad the situation would have deteriorated if they were given more time to calmly make arrangements in the city.

This made Su Li feel uneasy and powerless at the same time. Faced with the unpredictable and treacherous methods of those with special abilities, ordinary people really felt hopeless.

"Alas~" Guo Fu sighed:
"Okay, Master, there are only two of us here, no outsiders, please don't make it easy on me. He left without saying a word, and this attitude is enough to explain a lot of problems."

"Shit, he has a shitty attitude?"

Su Li was already upset, and Guo Fu's words made him even more angry. His face suddenly darkened.

"We work so hard every day, exhausting ourselves to help him run this mess in Quiana, and it took us so long to get to where we are today. How could he be dissatisfied with such a hands-off boss?"

"Oh~ Master, please don't ask for compensation." Guo Fu smiled somewhat miserably:
"We got all the money, people, technology, and allies back from the beginning. It's only natural that Saint George has reached the current state. Anyone can do it."

After a pause, she continued:
“Master, in fact, I have imagined more than once that under the same conditions, if Guiana were given to Tris in Pattaya.

Or maybe the Persian woman named Hu, she might be better than us! And she is much better than us.”

Upon hearing this, Su Li's expression suddenly became even gloomier, but he really couldn't refute this.

Although he was proud, he knew in his heart that both Moran and Miss Hu were not easy to deal with and their management abilities were indeed better than his.

Su Li had a dark face and didn't say anything, but Guo Fu didn't stop there. There were some things she had to make clear today.

She stood up and handed Su Li a cigar, and lit it for him:

“Master, I have not denied your achievements. Your contributions and dedication to Guyana are obvious to all and cannot be erased by anyone.

But you also have to understand that if we don’t have a head to protect us from the wind and rain, we may not be able to keep this huge family business for even a day.”

I have to say that this little girl Guo Fu is now very clear-headed. Every word she said hits the point, especially the word "family business", which is very meaningful.

Every home has an owner. She was reminding Su Li that Du Weiguo was the master of Quiana, and they were at best just housekeepers.

A housekeeper is a housekeeper. Even if the master is away all year round, he must perform his duties well, not interfere in the master's business, and certainly not occupy the master's nest.

Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes shone, his brows suddenly twisted, and then slowly relaxed. He was so angry that he laughed:

"Hahaha~"

"Good fellow! Guo Fu, you used all the political tactics I taught you on me, didn't you?"

At this point, two streams of white smoke came out of his nostrils, and his tone suddenly became serious, and he said in a decisive tone:
"Don't worry, I don't and will never be greedy for power. No matter when, as long as your kid named Du comes back, I, Su Li, will hand over the power immediately without hesitation!"

Finally, he added:
"I secretly told Hanwen before, but I didn't think it through carefully enough. From now on, I will pay attention and never make decisions for that Du again, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Fu also laughed.

In that instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, so beautiful that it was beyond words. She blinked her pair of starry eyes that could speak, which was simply captivating.

"Master, you are too kind. How could I mean that?"

Su Li rolled his eyes at her in annoyance and sneered, "Tsk! Don't try that on me."

"Hey~" Guo Fu scratched her head with a wry smile. After she finished speaking, the small rift between the master and the disciple disappeared in an instant.

But the next second, her face fell again, and her tone suddenly became resentful:
"Master, what do you think he is thinking? When can he come back?"

Su Li took a few puffs of his cigar before he said in a deep voice:
"I don't think he went far. It's very likely that he didn't even leave St. George's."

"What?" Guo Fu's eyes suddenly widened, her eyebrows raised, and she stood up suddenly.

Perhaps she thought of some possibility, and her body trembled.

"Master, you said he's still in Saint Georgetown? Then where is he? Why isn't he at home? Did he go to meet those two big guys in secret?"

Guo Fu asked a series of questions in rapid succession. Especially when she asked the last question, her face turned cold and a fierce murderous aura came over her.

"Uh~" Never underestimate a woman's jealousy. Even Su Li was choked by it.

"Guo Fu, don't get excited. This is just my guess. There is no real evidence. But I am sure that he did not go to find Anna and the others."

Guo Fu was very upset. Her face was tense and her eyes were cold.
"If he is really still in St. George's Town, and he has no place to stay in the city, and he doesn't go to look for those two big guys, is it possible that he will stay in a hotel?"

Su Li, a veteran of many years, was almost stuttering under Guo Fu's questioning:

"I, I just said that he might still be in the city, I'm not sure. Besides, he's so capable, he can just find an empty house and sneak into it, and live there rarely, who can find him?"

Guo Fu's eyes turned red, and she roared in anger:
"Then why doesn't he live at home? Does he dislike the Green Building or me?"

"Damn, I really shouldn't have said so much." Su Li pulled her to sit down helplessly:

"Guo Fu, calm down first. If my inference is correct, the reason why he pretended to leave without saying goodbye should be to wait and lure out our enemy."

"Hmm?" Guo Fu understood, and she straightened her face:

"Master, do you mean that the damn Viper Cult might still attack us?"

"Yeah." Su Li nodded:
"If he's in Saint Georgetown, those evildoers probably won't dare to come. But if he's not here, they might start to think about it."

Guo Fu's brows twisted into a big knot: "But, didn't the boss say before that there are also predictors among our enemies?"

"Hu~" Su Li exhaled a long breath of smoke, and after a slight hesitation, he said in a deep voice:
"I just asked Hanwen about this question. Even if it's foreknowledge, it still needs a medium and a reference. It can't happen out of thin air, and it's even more impossible to be omniscient and omnipotent."

"Medium? Reference object, what does that mean?" Guo Fu was like a curious baby, with a puzzled look on her face.

This question is obviously beyond the scope of the topic. Su Li was embarrassed, rubbed his chin and said:

"I can't explain it clearly. You can ask Hanwen yourself."

The old fox Su Li was absolutely right in his estimation. Du Weiguo did not leave Shengzhidun.

At this moment, at the nearly 60-meter-high No. water tower of the water plant built on the hillside in the north of the city, he was squatting on the edge of the water tower, overlooking the entire city with hawk-like eyes.

"Reference object, tsk, I hope Hanwen's method is really effective!"

Du Weiguo smacked his lips, and the next moment, he disappeared without a trace.

Tai Mo Shan, located at the junction of Tsuen Wan and Yuen Long on Hong Kong Island, is a natural cave hidden in the dense forest.

"Uncle La, I'm hungry." A young girl's voice was heard in the dark cave.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Xiao Mei, here, let me give you some biscuits to fill your stomach. Uncle La will grill some fish for you later."

With the faint light coming through the cave, Uncle Jiu touched Xiaomei's head lovingly and handed her an oil-paper bag.

I carefully helped her lift the wax paper, and there were 3 small biscuits left inside, which were butter crackers from Yuen Long Heng Heung Kee.

Xiaomei is Uncle Jiu's niece and her only relative. She is 8 years old and very pretty, but a little thin. Her left arm is wrapped in gauze.

After taking the biscuits, Xiaomei obediently picked up a piece and handed it to Uncle Jiu first: "Uncle La, you eat too."

"Xiao Mei, please eat it. Uncle La doesn't like sweet food." Uncle Jiu shook his head and refused.

"Then I'll leave a piece for you so you can eat it later." Xiaomei is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Seeing Xiaomei eating the biscuits carefully, afraid of wasting any, Uncle Jiu felt melancholy and suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

He subconsciously reached for his pocket, only to remember that he had run out of cigarettes long ago. Not only were there no cigarettes, but he was also out of food. He had to go down the mountain that night no matter what.

"Uncle La, how long are we going to hide here?"

Xiaomei asked vaguely while chewing a biscuit and stealing glances at Uncle Jiu.

"It won't be long. Uncle La will take you home in a few days." Uncle Jiu said casually to comfort him, a little absent-mindedly.

"But, but, our ancestral house was burned down, Uncle La, we have no home anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xiaomei immediately recalled the thrilling experience of escaping from the fire that night. She felt the pain in her wound again, her eyes turned red, and even her voice trembled.

Uncle Jiu touched her head and said insincerely:

"It's okay, Xiaomei. Uncle La has money. We can rebuild our ancestral house and make it bigger and more beautiful."

"Really? Can it be built into a two-story building? The kind with flush toilets?"

Xiaomei is still young after all, with a simple mind and is easy to deceive, so her expression immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

"Haha, of course. Any three floors are fine. When the time comes, I'll give you a floor to live on alone." Uncle Jiu smiled very reluctantly.

"Great!"

Xiaomei cheered, looking forward to her own big house in the future, and felt that the dry biscuits became delicious.

"Alas~" Uncle Jiu sighed in his heart. He was as clear as a mirror, so how could he build a house?
Not to mention building a house, Fengjiu is being hunted by the evil spirit and the landlords. From now on, he will no longer have a place to stay in Hong Kong Island.

Even if one of the two opposing parties were to fall, he would never be able to return to the position of Chief Chinese Inspector.

He knew Du Weiguo's character very well. He was vindictive and ruthless. He was helped to a high position by him, but he stabbed him in the back.

Once he gets his kung fu started, he will kill the landlord and himself together, and he will never show mercy.

If the landlords' association's plan succeeds, then these termites will not allow him to continue staying in such a core position as the Chief Chinese Detective.

Not only will they drive him down, they will also take his life, and will not even let Xiaomei go.

In a word, Uncle Jiu is now at the end of his rope. If he doesn't leave Hong Kong Island, he will surely die. But it is not so easy to leave.

Now, the Evil Spirit and the Landlord Association are trying to find him. To round it off, it is equivalent to the entire Hong Kong Island looking for him. As long as he dares to show up, he will be caught in minutes.

If he was alone and was careful and nimble, he might have a chance to escape. But with Xiaomei, there was not even a slight chance.

"Ah~" Looking at Xiaomei who was eating with gusto, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but sigh again:
"Am I wrong? However, personal will should never override laws and rules."

There have always been differences between Uncle Jiu and Du Weiguo, and as their status grows, the differences become bigger and bigger.

By now, the situation has become incompatible.

To put it bluntly, Uncle Jiu is a stubborn idealist who can't tolerate any flaws. People like him often cannot climb to high positions.

The reason why he joined the Landlords Association was because Uncle Jiu could no longer tolerate Du Weiguo's dictatorship.

Hong Kong Island today has become Du Weiguo's personal dynasty. He is the emperor who holds the power of heaven and can make his words come true and ignore any rules.

The former Chief Superintendent of Police Felix persuaded him that the purpose of the Landlords' Association was to overthrow Du Weiguo's "autocratic rule" and rebuild a rule-based society.

Although he knew that he was courting disaster, Uncle Jiu still joined without hesitation.

"Uncle La, I'm full. I'll go get some firewood to grill the fish later."

After finishing a piece of biscuit, Xiaomei used great willpower to restrain the desire to eat them all, rewrapped the remaining biscuits and kept them close to her body.

"No need, Uncle La~" At this moment, Uncle Jiu suddenly felt a palpitation and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Oh no! Someone is going up the mountain!" He stood up suddenly, picked up Xiaomei without thinking, and ran towards the depths of the cave.

At the same time, at the foot of Tai Mo Mountain, several figures suddenly appeared in the jungle a few kilometers away from the cave.

"Pengzi, are you sure we are not taking the wrong road?" Hu San's tone was low and without his usual frivolous tone.

Pengzi nodded and answered with great confidence. Knowing and remembering roads is his talent, and he is extremely confident in this area.

"That's right, Third Brother. I personally participated in the hunt for the group of Yonans. They were eventually killed in the cave in this mountain."

Last autumn, a group of brutal deserters from John fled to Hong Kong Island. Equipped with heavy weapons, they robbed three gold shops in Nathan Road in three days.

Especially in the last robbery, they killed and injured several uniformed police officers in the street, which stirred up a hornet's nest.

A task force was set up immediately, with the top police official, the Commissioner of Police, personally in charge and Chief Chinese Detective Inspector Nine Uncle taking charge of the implementation. All police officers in Hong Kong were mobilized to set up a tight net.

Later, through Uncle Jiu's esoteric techniques combined with modern detective methods, these Yonan monkeys were surrounded on Tai Mo Shan.

However, they were very good at jungle warfare, had good coordination, and their firepower was extremely fierce. At one point, they overwhelmed the Hong Kong police armed with .38 rifles and could not raise their heads.

When they ran out of bullets, they entered a cave in the mountains and played hide-and-seek with the police. In the end, it was Uncle Jiu who took action himself and shot them dead.

Uncle Jiu later had this maze-like cave sealed off, so only people like Pengzi, who have a natural talent for remembering directions, could find it.

Hu San sniffed and glanced at the mountain with a little doubt:
"Okay, then let's speed up and march forward quickly. Pengzi, you lead the way."

"Shua!" The knife flashed, and a bush as thick as a bowl was cut off. Meng Bo squeezed over with a machete in hand and volunteered:

"Third brother, Sir Peng is not in good shape and is too slow, so I'll go first. Sir Peng, you can tell me which way to go, and I'll lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of evil flashed across Pengzi's eyes, while Hu San curled his lips meaningfully. (End of this chapter)
