“Jiang Ming has always wanted the Thoughtless Mountain, but he only knows the hand I have the stuff in, but he can’t possibly guess where I’ve hidden it.” I said.
Moon Full Bow said, “You think too well of Jiang Ming. He can’t guess where it’s hidden, but he can force you to give it up yourself. Jiang Ming is much more ruthless than Chen Yu Zhou. Chen Yu Zhou can use Chu Xiao Xiao to threaten you, Jiang Ming will only do something more poisonous than him.”
“Aren’t Liu Ruyi and Guan Lang Jiang Ming’s people?”
Yue Man Gong said, “Jianghu people value trust and righteousness, they said in public that they would take you as a brother, if they reneged on their trust, they would be disgraced by all. Don’t worry, even if these people are Jiang Ming’s men, they wouldn’t dare to be your enemy openly. I have brought them here today to tell them that you are still alive and the oath they have taken is still valid, so don’t think otherwise.”
I patted Yue Man Gong on the shoulder, “Thanks a lot this time.”
But Yue Man Gong said with some dissatisfaction, “I won’t say any more polite words, your life is at stake for the whole Jianghu, you must be careful in the future.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve told you before, I’ve been to more ghostly gates than you’ve been to tourist attractions. Don’t worry about me, the King of Hell can’t see me, his old man won’t take me in. Speaking of matters in the jianghu, there is something else I would like to ask you for.”
Moon Full Bow told me to speak directly.
I said, “You know, I was very young when my parents left and didn’t understand anything. I would like to talk to your seniors from the Thousand Clans about my father’s affairs.”
Yue Man Gong said, “I have to go back and ask my master. My master has a bad temper and may not agree. But you are the descendant of my uncle, so he will treat you better.”
I sighed with relief.
I added, “Apart from the thoughtless mountain, my mother has a diary left in the world, do you know?”
I didn’t need him to answer, I could see what was going on, and Moon Fullbow’s eyes went wide as he subconsciously looked around us to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
“Do you have the diary?”
I told him the truth: “My aunt has it. I didn’t know about it, but I just found out. What’s in the diary?”
Moon Man-bow frowned, ignored my question and asked, “Who else knows about it besides you?”
“Zhao Zichen, Chen Yu Zhou. But there were a lot of security guards on the spot, so I reckon it won’t take long for word to spread.” I was still puzzled, “What’s in this diary anyway?”
Moon Full Bow was about to speak when his eyes drifted behind me, only to see Liu Ruyi walking over.
Immediately, Yue Man Gong said in a low voice, “We’ll meet tomorrow night and talk about it. We’ll try to keep this a secret first.”
I immediately pretended to be joking with Yue Man Gong and patted his shoulder, “Brother Yue, thanks to you and all the heroes in the jianghu today, if there is anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know.”
Yue Man Gong still had that frosty look on his face and said bluntly, “Not for now.”
After saying that, he left me there with an embarra*sed face and walked up towards Liu Ruyi.
“What are you two talking about? Brother Zhang Chao, Little Brother Yue, we’re all planning to pull out and go for a drink together, are you two interested?”
My biggest interest right now was to go back and sleep with Chu Xiaoxiao in my arms, but it wasn’t good to leave so many people really hanging out here.
“Let’s go, don’t be polite with me tonight, my treat, let’s drink with open arms!”
“Good!”
The children of the jungle were so bold that when they heard me say that, they excitedly agreed in unison.
The Snow Leopard was not at liberty to show itself to outsiders, and after a night of action, we were all sleepy and tired. The old man told Snow Leopard to stay put in the city and not to go back for the time being, as there were other operational arrangements for the arms sales case. I was overjoyed and told Lao Yu to arrange for everyone to rest first, and I would go to see them early tomorrow morning.
I had wanted to arrange for them to stay at Ju En Yuan, but none of them were used to Ju En Yuan and felt uncomfortable in that place.
Guan Lang said, “We’re all about having a good time, so why don’t we go to Black Street and eat crawfish?”
“Yes!”
I said with a smile, “Since everyone is happy, then we will go to Black Street.”
The Black Street was Zhao Zichen’s territory, so I had to give him a heads up if I rashly brought so many people there.
Zhao Zichen had gone back to the police station to make a statement when he received a call from me, telling me to wait for a while and that he would be right there.
We were a hundred strong, walking down the street with a lot of style. The black street is a shady business, except for food, and at 12 o’clock in the evening, instead of being quiet, it was even livelier. The women standing on the street were frantically scratching their heads, and several of them rushed up to pull the moon full of bows towards their own shops, and some pulled me, which made Chu Xiaoxiao scold me directly.
Chu Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said to me, “Sister will cover you, if any unenlightened ones dare to come and pull your goblin, I will teach them a lesson myself.”
I laughed out loud, “Sister Chu, you take care of Yue Man Gong too, look at his little white face all red with anger.”
“Tsk, at a glance he’s a little virgin, he hasn’t seen the world. By the way, do you think it would be particularly strange for him to sit down and eat kebabs and lobsters with us later, since he looks so ethereal now?”
I thought about that hilarious image in my head for a moment and was so happy I almost died laughing.
A group of us filled up a few of the late night food stalls, these journeymen didn’t care about the environment, as long as it was enjoyable. I told the owner to serve whatever goodies he had and to bring out all the wine he had at home.
The street girls on the side of the road all came over and ate and drank together.
“Brother, you’re righteous, we’ll all hang out with you from now on.” Someone was drunk and shouted at me from afar, holding a bottle.
“That’s right. If someone doesn’t get on with you in the future, just give me your name and I’ll make him look good!”
“That’s right! If that guy Chen dies in jail, forget it, if he’s released, I’ll be the first one to teach him a lesson.”
The crowd was so enthusiastic that they raised their gla*ses to me in a toast.
After three rounds of wine, Yue Man Gong came over from that table and whispered, “Zhao Zichen is looking for you.”
I sobered up at once and pulled Chu Xiaoxiao to follow Yue Man Gong.
The three of us walked through the dark alleyway, at the end of which was a decently decorated tea room, out of place in the atmosphere of the dark street. Yue Man Gong pushed the door open and we both followed it in, Zhao Zichen was already waiting inside.
“How come the police let you out so quickly?” I asked, “You were undercover into the case, but the police didn’t have your file there, Old Yu had the old man give you a certificate, but it should be tomorrow at the earliest before you can be released.”
The three of us sat down separately, and I looked at Zhao Zichen with a not-so-good look on his face and thought he was being given a hard time by the police, so I couldn’t help but ask.
