Chapter 291 I Want an Explanation (Please Subscribe)

Headquarters.

In a quiet room.

On the north wall, there is a painting with a word "Zen" written on it, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful.

Below the painting, there is a table with an incense burner on the table. Sandalwood is lit in the burner, and white smoke is curling, exuding a faint fragrance.

This is not ordinary sandalwood, but a calming incense. The fragrance emitted after burning can calm people's minds and not easily lead to the situation of going astray.

In addition, it can also speed up the speed of the circulation of the true qi in the warrior's body, which is very effective when meditating and regulating breathing.

Shi Tao sat cross-legged on the mat, facing the incense burner, with his eyes closed, and white gas rose above his head.

Ling Yu sat in the back, also sitting cross-legged, circulating the true essence around the body, absorbing the medicinal power of the true qi pill.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched a few times.

Ling Yu slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the right eyelid twitched a few times again.

"What's going on?"

He frowned slightly. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

As the saying goes, left eye twitching means fortune, right eye twitching means disaster. My right eyelid twitching non-stop, does it mean that something bad will happen to me later?

But this is very confusing.

You have to know that the place where he is staying at the moment can be regarded as one of the safest places in Jiangnan City. To put it bluntly, even if Jiangnan City falls, he hiding here may not be in trouble, so there will be no disaster, and it will be on his head.

Thinking of this, Ling Yu's mouth curled up. What left eye twitching means fortune and right eye twitching means disaster are all old-fashioned sayings. Only fools will be uneasy because of these things.

He raised his head and glanced at the calligraphy and painting in front of him. He thought, I don't know if Xiao Hong has arrived in Anshan City now?

It's thousands of miles from Jiangnan City to Anshan City, but with his ability, nothing should happen.

If he gets there, he should have found the alchemist named Chen Fan. It would be easy for him to take away a warrior in the early stage of meridian refining.

After returning, he must find a secret place, otherwise it will be bad if the news gets out.

As long as the confidentiality is done well, he will have countless high-grade true qi pills to take in the future. It is not impossible for him to surpass his master one day.

"What's wrong? Are you absent-minded?"

At this moment, Shi Tao's voice sounded.

Ling Yu was startled, hurriedly lowered his head, and said honestly: "Master, I suddenly felt a little upset just now, so I opened my eyes and rested for a while."

"Really?"

Shi Tao opened his eyes when he heard it.

Then he slowly said: "True essence circulation is a very boring thing. If you still can't calm down, you can go out for a walk to relax."

"Master, I am now calm again."

Ling Yu smiled.

"Yeah."

Shi Tao nodded, without thinking much.

Even he would feel upset when he was in seclusion, but in the past few years, as his mental power became stronger, the number of times this happened could be counted on one's fingers.

"Master's sense is really sharp."

Ling Yu closed his eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time he was secretly alert.

After tying Chen Fan, there were countless high-grade Qi pills to take, which was naturally a good thing, but it was also easy for the master to find out, so he was still cautious.

Just when he was about to start the circulation again, a slight cell phone ring suddenly rang in the quiet room.

The two opened their eyes at the same time.

Shi Tao exhaled, then stood up, walked to the table, and picked up the phone.

"Chang Fei?"

His pupils dilated slightly, and he thought to himself, could it be that Old Tang and the others had learned the improved Qi pill alchemy so quickly?

If not, how could Chang Fei contact him when he was in seclusion?

He answered the phone and smiled, "Chang Fei, has Elder Tang made any progress in alchemy?"

"No,"

Chang Fei glanced at Chen Fan who was looking at him on the screen, took a deep breath, and said, "President, I have something not so good to tell you next, I hope you are mentally prepared."

Shi Tao's face changed slightly, and he said, "Okay, go ahead."

"President, Ling Yu, is he by your side now?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Shi Tao glanced at Ling Yu, whose eyes were also full of doubts.

Is it Uncle Chang who called the master?

Did he mention himself on the phone? Otherwise, the master wouldn't suddenly turn around and look at him.

He felt uneasy for no reason, thinking of the previous twitching of his right eyelid, and thought to himself, could there really be some trouble?

But he didn't do anything to offend anyone during this period of time? And he was basically by the master's side, and never left at all, so how could there be trouble to find him?

Wait, could it be?

Ling Yu's eyes widened suddenly, could it be that something went wrong with Xiao Hong?

No way?

"Okay, President, since Ling Yu is right beside you, you might as well turn on the speakerphone so that he can hear what I say." Chang Fei said.

He must explain this matter clearly.

Otherwise, Brother Chen's trust in the headquarters will drop to the freezing point, and no matter what he does, it will be irreversible.

"Gudong."

In the meeting room of Anshan City, Xiao Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Is Ling Yu here too?

Then he will have to fight with the opponent later, right?

If possible, he wouldn't want to get it to this point, but unfortunately, he has no choice now.

Sun Wei was extremely nervous, his palms full of sweat.

Chen Fan said nothing and waited quietly.

After a while, Shi Tao said: "Let's talk first, what is going on?"

After the words fell, Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, Shi Tao did not agree to Chang Fei's request to turn on the speakerphone so that Ling Yu could hear it.

Although that situation cannot be avoided, it can be delayed for a while.

Chang Fei smiled bitterly at Chen Fan and said, "President, do you still remember what I told you about Brother Chen on the phone yesterday?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I said before that Brother Chen didn't want the headquarters, and the headquarters also expressed understanding and did not force it. But just today, someone named the headquarters, broke into the Anshan City branch, and wanted to kidnap Brother Chen. Give him a private refinement of high-quality Qi pills."

"What!"

Shi Tao let out an exclamation.

The sound was so loud that even Chen Fan and the three people across the screen could hear it clearly.

"You, are you telling the truth?"

Shi Tao suddenly realized something and glanced at Ling Yu behind him.

Combined with Chang Fei's request just now for him to turn on the speakerphone and let Ling Yu listen, it is not difficult for him to guess that what Chang Fei is talking about now may have a lot to do with Ling Yu.

"President, if possible, I also hope this matter is false."

Chang Fei sighed heavily, "No, that person who broke into the Anshan City branch has been caught on the spot by Brother Chen."

"who is it?"

Shi Tao's tone became cold, and it seemed that the temperature of the entire quiet room dropped by more than ten degrees.

"Xiao, Hong."

Chang Fei said two words.

After brushing, Xiao Hong's face turned pale. Even though his acupuncture points were tapped, his hands and feet were still shaking uncontrollably.

It's over, it's over.

Sweat kept falling on his face, and this matter finally reached the president's ears.

From now on, I have no good fruit to eat.

"Xiao Hong?"

Shi Tao muttered the name, and the latter's appearance also appeared in his mind.

Ling Yu, who was behind him, was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth the moment he heard the name.

Could it be said that Xiao Hong made a mistake?

Otherwise, Uncle Chang would have never mentioned him before, so why did he mention him so quietly at this time?

But, it shouldn’t be?

Ling Yu broke out in cold sweat.

Even if Xiao Hong misses, his identity shouldn't be exposed?

He had repeatedly warned him to keep his identity confidential. After all, if such a thing were to be revealed, even he would have to live with it, not to mention himself.

Therefore, even if he fails and fails to kidnap Chen Fan, it is impossible for the other party to know his identity?

Most importantly, why did it fail? Xiao Hong, a mere warrior at the early stage of the Pulse Refining Realm, or a warrior who spent a lot of time on refining alchemy, couldn't succeed in this?

"Yes, President, Xiao Hong was caught on the spot by Brother Chen, and his acupuncture points were tapped. He was in the meeting room of the Anshan City branch. He is now making a video call with me. I asked him to tell you what happened again. ." Chang Fei sighed.

Shi Tao was silent for a moment and said: "No need, I probably already know what's going on. This guy Xiao Hong is simply audacious and reckless.

Let's do this, you will handle this matter. No matter what kind of request Brother Chen makes, the headquarters will try its best to satisfy him. As for Xiao Hong, bring him back to me and I will handle it. "

Because Chang Fei turned on the speakerphone, Shi Tao's words fell into the ears of several people present without missing a word.

Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to return to the headquarters is great news for him. The most important thing is that according to the president's wishes, this matter ends here and there is no need to confront Ling Yu.

Sun Wei frowned slightly.

President, do you mean this is the end?

After all, he almost died, and President Chang hasn't said anything yet about Ling Yu being the mastermind behind the scenes.

But if things come to this, it may be for the best. In order to appease Brother Chen's anger, the headquarters will definitely give out a lot of good things.

However, based on his understanding of Brother Chen, if the latter just let it go, he would no longer be Brother Chen.

"President Shi, I think it would be better for you to listen to Xiao Hong's side of this matter."

Chen Fan's voice suddenly rose.

In an instant, the people on the screen, outside the screen, on this side of the phone, and on the other side of the phone were all silent.

Even Chang Fei had cold sweat breaking out on his forehead at this time.

Because he could see that Chen Fan must have an explanation this time. Even if the president was on the other side, he would not back down.
