Chapter 39: The Cripple Is Lost?

As soon as Luo Li and Tang Mizhi walked out the door, a driver came to see them off. Tang Mizhi said, "Go to Daqin Bank." Turning to Luo Li, "Do you have an account? If not, open one."

"Elder Tang, why are you being so clear-cut? I don't know how to spend money either. Anyway, these are external things. As long as it's enough."

"Of course I know these are external things. Just because you don't love them doesn't mean you can't have them. Maybe there will be more places to use them later. Do as I say. Don't worry about other things." Tang Mizhi became domineering.

Luo Li let him be. He took out his ID and handed it to Tang Mizhi. "You go handle it. I'll wait for you in the car. Right now I just want to find a Rongxi Western Restaurant and have a big meal. The tastes here on Mangshan Island are either too bland or too fishy. I'm not used to it at all."

"Look at your lack of ambition. The world is vast, and our Great Qin is vast and abundant. Can there be a shortage of food for you? Soon. In the future, I'll take you to eat all over the country." Tang Mizhi promised.

The driver of the Hu family sent the two of them to the door of a Rongxi Western Restaurant and then turned around and left.

Luo Li ordered two servings of pickled pepper beef slices and two servings of boiled fish. Tang Mizhi was stunned. "Hey, me. Are you so hungry? You won't be eating one serving while looking at the other, will you?" Then he ordered a sweet and sour pork ribs, a glutinous rice duck, and a serving of mushrooms and rape. By the way, he asked for a bottle of local distilled liquor.

Luo Li rolled up his sleeves and ate heartily. In less than an hour, the two of them completely devoured all the dishes on the table. Luo Li wiped his sweat. It was truly exhilarating. It's just that this fish is not as authentic as what Big Brother Liu makes. The fish meat is also not as tender as that in Lijiang River. Thinking of this, he began to miss Changping. He wondered how Big Brother Liu was doing. After only being away for two months and already missing home? Why does it feel like a long time has passed! Luo Li smiled. The experiences of these few months are more than those of his twenty years.

After the two of them finished eating and left the restaurant, it was already dark. Luo Li looked at the continuous flow of people in the night market and sighed. "I wonder where Master is? Does he miss the boiled fish in Lijiang River, the dishes in Changping, the mushrooms in Shenshan? Does he miss me?"

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Mizhi heard him muttering to himself and interrupted him.

Luo Li came to his senses. "I'm thinking about how to spend this money. I've become a millionaire in one day."

"Such a lack of ambition. This money actually can't do much. You'll know later." Tang Mizhi sneered. He was just joking, but he didn't expect it to come true later.

When the two of them strolled back to the villa leisurely, the luxury car outside was clearly visible. This was Hu Guangye's car. What's wrong? The two looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.

As soon as he saw Luo Li, Hu Guangye rushed over. It was hard to believe that his bloated body was so agile. At this moment, he was not an entrepreneur. He was Jackie Chan. He rushed up and grabbed Luo Li, staring with fearful eyes. "Master Luo, Xiao Lin is gone!"

Gone?!

The leisurely expressions of Luo Li and Tang Mizhi disappeared instantly. From each other's eyes, they saw three words: "Don't believe it."

"Mr. Hu, don't be anxious. Let's go inside and talk slowly." Tang Mizhi pulled Hu Guangye into the villa.

Hu Guangye wiped his sweat. "This is true. After you left, I sent Yuanyuan into the car. I originally wanted to accompany her. But thinking that Xiao Lin was still in the room, I found two bodyguards and planned to drag him to the basement. As a result, as soon as I went upstairs, he was no longer there. In less than five minutes, no one came at all. There are anti-theft systems at all exits of my house. There are no blind spots. When the person disappeared, I suspected that he had come back to life and hidden himself." At this point, Luo Li interrupted him. "Impossible. He definitely can't move!"

Hu Guangye continued, "Yes. So I went to the security room and checked the video. Guess what? I saw a black shadow run into the room and carry Xiao Lin away through the window!"

Tang Mizhi still didn't believe it. "Didn't you investigate him? He has been alone on Mangshan Island. There are no accomplices! And when you brought him back from the hospital, it must have been in secret, right?"

"Two masters, come back with me now. I'll show you the video."

"Let's go!"

The three got into the car and sped all the way back to Hu's mansion.

Hu Guangye played the video. They saw a skinny masked man nimbly climb in through the side window. When he reached the corridor, he stood for five seconds and then walked directly into Hu Yuanyuan's boudoir. There was no camera in the bedroom. Luo Li turned to look at another outdoor monitor. The masked man carried Xiao Lin and jumped down from the window. He bypassed the Hu family's swimming pool. In a few steps, he ran to the wall, took off his coat, tied Xiao Lin to his back, and climbed over the three-meter-high wall of the Hu family like a monkey and escaped. At this time, Hu Guangye had just sent Hu Yuanyuan into the car and was on his way back. The time was just two minutes.

Familiar with the terrain. Definitely observed in advance. Luo Li suddenly thought of something. "Mr. Hu, rewind this. Rewind to where the masked man took off his clothes. Right. Zoom in."

The pattern on the back of the masked man became clear. Tang Mizhi also saw it. "Luo Li, this is like a totem."

Luo Li shook his head. "I don't know this, but it must be related to his origin."

Tang Mizhi said, "You said Xiao Lin knows black witchcraft. This is the totem often tattooed on the bodies of wizards from Luwa Country. The three pointed corners on it seem like a crown. But in fact, they are flames. They represent the three fires on the wizard's head."
