The years when I was an old man

The phone number was from an unfamiliar number, and Zhang Fan and I looked at each other.

Zhang Fan pointed at his phone and whispered:

"Just follow the idea just now. If nothing unexpected happens, this person should at least be someone close to the boss of the underground bank, and he may even be the boss..."

I took a deep breath and pressed the speaker phone, but didn't speak.

There was also silence on the other side.

After a while, an old voice came from the other side:

"Why are you pretending to be Mero?"

This voice sounded like it was said in a deliberately lowered voice. It seemed that the other party was also hiding his identity.

"Second brother!"

I tried my best to make my voice thicker and shouted in imitation of my father's tone.

From the limited information I know, my father's sworn second brother is in the underground banking business.

It was also because of the Qianzhuang incident that the two turned against each other.

I said "Second Brother", causing the other person to fall silent immediately.

After a while, I heard laughter from the other side.

"Second brother? You are so different from pretending to be Merlot. I have heard Merlot's voice in my ears every day. How could I not recognize it? I forgot to tell you that he never calls me second brother. He has always been Call me by my first name..."

what?

Zhang Fan and I looked at each other in surprise.Could it be that this is really a matter of trying to find a place without any effort at all?

Is the other party really my father's sworn second brother?

The obsession with revenge that started when he was a few years old is getting closer and closer to finding the real murderer.

At this moment, I actually felt unreal.

Looking at the phone, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhang Fan gently touched my back, indicating that I could control my emotions.

I took a deep breath and was about to speak when the other person said again:

"If you just want to know everything about Mero, you can naturally come to me and I will tell you everything. But one thing is, don't pretend to be Mero anymore. Be careful of causing a fatal disaster..."

"How can I see you?"

I immediately asked.

The other party hesitated for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, he asked:

"Who else is with you?"

I glanced at Zhang Fan and decided to tell the truth.

"A friend named Zhang Fan!"

"A girl from the Zhang family who is reaching for the stars?"

Zhang Fan also looked puzzled, and she immediately asked on her phone:

"You know my dad?"

The other party snorted coldly and said slowly:

"Old friends in the world, more than just acquaintances? You two come together, but remember not to tell the third person. Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Looking at the darkened mobile phone screen, I looked at Zhang Fan and asked:

"Does this person's voice sound familiar to you?"

Zhang Fan tried hard to remember, but in the end he shook his head.

Then, she asked me again:

"Do you think we go?"

I stood up and walked to the window.Trying hard to recall every bit of what happened just now.

There are loopholes in this man's words. I don't believe that a bank owner would be exposed to strangers so quickly.

But if I don’t go, I won’t be willing to go.

"Go, but I'm going alone..."

Before I could finish my words, Zhang Fan interrupted me and said:

"No. Since I said we join forces, we must advance and retreat together. I have already told you that it is not a question I am curious about now. I also need to understand why my father is so abnormal, even to the point of being scared. So, This time we advance and retreat together..."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, her face turned a little crimson, and she added:

“Just like being in the ancient town of Bashu!”

That night in the ancient town of Bashu was an abrupt night.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan never forgot that night. She mentioned it to me at least three times.

While talking, a message came in from the phone.

Click on it and you'll see it says:

"Guandu Villa in North City of Dali, see you there or not!"

Guandu Villa?

Zhang Fan muttered something and said to me in surprise:

"This is the old courtyard of the Bai people at the foot of the mountain. Due to frequent landslides, it has been moved to another place. It can be said to be deserted now, with only a bunch of decaying shabby houses left. Why did he choose this place?"

I looked at Zhang Fan and asked:

"It doesn't matter where we meet. But don't you think it's too coincidental? We are in Dali Bahuang, and he decided to meet in Dali. Could it be that he has always been around here?"

"You mean he is fake? We were deceived by the old accountant?"

I shook my head and said with emotion:

"It's hard to say, I still need to go there. In this way, when I call someone else..."

Zhang Fan asked me with some confusion:

"If you call someone over, he will definitely find it. Then it will be self-defeating and we will never see him again!"

I smiled and shook my head.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to find the person I called!"

The most boring thing about Bahuang is the night. Fortunately, there are still three days until the finals, so many people choose to go down the mountain to have fun.There are far fewer rooms with lights in the dormitory area than before.

Zhang Fan and I came to the dormitory area, I sent a message, and then Zhang Fan and I stood on the street waiting.
