Chapter 637 Luke’s Guess
A few days later, around Shiwanda Mountain. .
Hanshui City, one of the important cities in the north, is named after the Hanshui River that protects the city.
Tang En has been to this city before, and he came with Bosco to purchase important weapons for city defense. As for the stopover this time, it was because there was a shop owned by the Yatang Chamber of Commerce.
Tang En is very short of money now, especially if he wants to build a killer organization, so naturally he has to come to this 'little treasury' to plunder it. In addition, it was also for the sake of the Gray Clothes Army who stayed deep in the Shiwan Mountain. Although they are not short of money, of course, they have nowhere to use the money now. What they lack is food, weapons and other supplies, and these things can only be handed over to the Yatang Chamber of Commerce for collective purchase to avoid being noticed.
In the morning, in the central square of Hanshui City, the three-story Yatang shop was still grand and full of people.
Tang En looked at it from a distance, and instead of going up floor by floor like last time, he jumped directly from the back of the shop to the third floor window.
The third volume of the shop is not a place for business, but a purely private place. As soon as Tang En jumped up to the window, he came face to face with an old man with silver hair inside who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed to relax.
"Uh, who..." The warm light in front of his eyes suddenly dimmed, and the silver-haired old man opened his eyes in surprise. He was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Tang En landed lightly, stretched out his hand to lift the black scarf on his face, and said hello with a slight smile: "Hi, long time no see, Mr. Hua."
Hua Lao, Hua Yis, is the person in charge of this Yatang shop.
"President!" exclaimed, Huais hurriedly stood up from his chair after recognizing Tang En, and stepped forward to give him a half-bow. However, Tang En had already expected this. He took a step forward, put his hand on Huais's shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Hua, you don't have to be so polite every time."
"It should, it should... Well, President, are you okay?"
Tang En was surprised: "Me? What can happen to me?"
"The Gray Army was besieged before..." At this point, Huais subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice, "President Allen is very worried about your safety and has come here several times to ask if there is any news about you... Oops !”
Patting his forehead, Huais seemed to have remembered something and said hurriedly: "President Allen just left here the day before yesterday. He should be in the neighboring city now. I will send someone to pass the message."
Tang En couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this long paragraph: "Mr. Hua, I'm just here to get the money. There's no need to mobilize such a force."
"Money? No problem. But President Allen specifically told me to send him a message if he sees you. He is anxious to see you now."
"That's it..." Tang En pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I will stay in Hanshui City for a while. The address is..."
…
An ordinary residential house in Nancheng District is also the contact point of Hanshui City's secret agency.
Outside Josiah's room, "Twain will be back soon, you can wait here."
"Oh, no need. In fact, it's not a big deal. It doesn't matter if we see you sooner or later." Luke smiled and waved his hand.
Josiah nodded, then glanced at the somewhat dull David, and asked hesitantly, "David..."
"Him?" Luke turned his head and glanced, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. He was unlucky last night and lost a lot. Haha, you know."
"oh……"
After bidding farewell to Joshua, the two of them turned the corner. Luke looked at David, who was still silent and gloomy, and couldn't help but persuade him: "After all, we have known each other for several years, and she is now The relationship with the boss...David, your attitude towards Josiah is so bad.”
"I can't get better!" David said in a low voice without raising his head.
Luke shook his head: "Don't be like this, this matter has nothing to do with her."
"Why doesn't it matter!" After a pause, David suddenly looked up, his face full of suppressed anger, "She wanted Mi Xiu to die, right? She was on the ship at the time, and the scout at the stairs was hers. The boss must have seen it too. These, that's why..." He clenched his fists and finally didn't say anything.
Luke frowned: "Are you saying that the boss wanted to kill Mi Xiu for the sake of Joshua? Bastard, how could you think that! It's not like you don't know the boss's character. Mi Xiu will live and die with everyone. For such a long time, we have been more than brothers, but don’t you feel heartbroken to be the boss?”
After opening his mouth, David turned his head and said, "But Michu is dead!"
"Then you think Michu did nothing wrong?" Luke sighed, "David, calm down and don't go to the boss to talk about this matter again. No one is willing for Michu to have such a result. I saw it, but there is nothing I can do about it, he did something wrong..."
Gripping his hair, David growled angrily: "I know, I know he is wrong, but he shouldn't die in our hands!"
"Then you want him to die in your hands? You also saw Michu's final state. He has a psychological problem. His eyes and mind have been blinded by hatred and killing. He will die sooner or later."
After a pause, looking at David who still looked stubborn even though he didn't argue, Luke hesitated for a moment and said, "Besides, the boss didn't kill Michu either..."
"Is there any difference?" David's expression was very disapproving, and his tone was low, "Mixiu is not the boss, so there is no way he could have survived on that vast river with bare hands, not to mention that he was still so seriously injured at the time... Luke, he won’t survive.”
"Not necessarily." Luke squinted his eyes and did not look at David's doubtful gaze. "This is just a guess... Well, of course the boss can also see the problems we can see. Yes, the boss was at that time. It seems reasonable to throw Michu into the river for the reason of 'let Mi Xiu go away and die'. But..."
After a pause, he shook his head, "It's too sudden! The whole move seems a bit hasty... You know the boss's character, how could he just throw Mi Xiu into the river without even asking for the reason. This gave me the feeling, well, it was more like I was doing it for others to see. What’s more, the situation was really urgent at the time, so I couldn’t solve it all quickly..."
David was stunned when he heard this: "But, but I had already checked the boat we took when escaping, and Michu was indeed not there..."
"But we didn't see Mi Xiu sink into the river, right?" Luke spread his hands, "Do you remember? When the boss threw Mi Xiu out of the cabin, we wanted to rush over to have a look, but we were shouted at by the boss. Stop it."
"Uh, you mean the boss has a backup plan there?"
"I don't know! I told you, this is just a guess."
"No, it's possible, very possible!" David was walking back and forth, pounding his palms, suddenly excited, and then he raised his head with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Since you already know this, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's just a guess..." Luke said helplessly, holding his forehead, "And with your temper, if you knew, could you suppress it?" He sighed, "Boss knows that Mi Xiu betrayed Hui Yi. Army, not gray space. Of course, this difference is not big, but it should be enough to make the boss show mercy. Just like our feelings, it is intolerable after all... But the boss has such a relationship with Josiah, alas, This is taking a risk, the boss must be very confused..."
He straightened his expression and looked at the stunned David, "It's okay as long as you know this. We'll see what the outcome is later. But if it's as I guessed, David, you must never, never come to Joshua." There is a flaw in front of me, just like what the boss said - from this moment on, there will be no more Mi Xiu in the gray space! Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the boss to do it."
David scratched his head, frowned and murmured: "In this case... you might as well not tell me. Josiah is so smart, how should I act?"
"Don't tell you? Hey, if you have a falling out with Joshua, won't it also make it difficult for the boss? Don't think too much. You are what you were before, and you are what you are now. You can continue to be cold to Joshua. But you have to keep a certain degree of control. Haha, do you think Joshua didn’t know what you were thinking just now? She was also embarrassed..."
David took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll try my best... uh, whoops! What about Harry and the others? He joined me in condemning Josiah yesterday."
"A blind mind, like Harry's annihilation of business, do you think he doesn't know? He's just teasing you..."
"Fuck! Am I the only one who co-wrote this book to be an idiot?"
Luke covered his face and almost burst into tears: "It's not easy, you finally realized it!"
