National treasure
Chapter 28
In the underground warehouse 10 minutes ago, Zhong Zhe was lifted out of the double bass case.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhong to wake up so soon. Well, it seems that he can't move his hands and feet. That's good." The bald-headed man with a pale face signaled his subordinates to tie Zhong Zhe to the chair.
Zhong Zhe had a splitting headache and slowly narrowed his eyes to adapt to the harsh light.
He was doing better than he'd expected, and thankfully, the little blue pill was working.
Although he has a terrible headache now, he has no symptoms of PTSD recurrence.
Even after several hours in the immobile human-shaped black box, he did not lose his mind, did not have hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, or even flashbacks. Compared with these, the headache is really a minimal pain .
When he has a headache, he still thinks of the man who gave him the white medicine bottle from time to time, does he know he is here?He was sure that Cheng Ling knew, he swallowed the 24-hour tracking capsule he gave, even if Cheng Ling missed the train, he would still be able to find him here.
Then, I have to delay the time and save my life so that I can wait until Cheng Ling comes to rescue him.Then he would be able to blame him for missing the train.
When the ties were firmly secured, someone began to brutally search Zhong Zhe, took away his cell phone, dismantled his watch, and found the small white medicine bottle in his trouser pocket, which was placed on the long table next to him.
Naturally, there was no tortoise shell. After knowing that he was going out to track down the "bait" with Cheng Ling, Zhong Zhe made another arrangement with Luo Shu just in case.
After his eyes adjusted to the light again, Zhong Zhe looked around.This is an underground warehouse. There is a small translucent office room at the bottom on the left side. Through the frosted glass, there are shelves, computer desks and other things inside.
There are many types of artworks piled up in other parts of the warehouse. His eyes glanced around for a while, and soon fell on the paintings that hung on the entire wall in the right area.
"Ha, I didn't expect to see these works of art again here." Zhong Zhe frowned, and every time his eyes moved, he announced the name of a famous painting that had been stolen.
"Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, Degas' Three Jockeys, and I guess Vermeer's The Concert, which is also missing, where? Oh, there. Let me Let's see what else is there, Modigliani's "Girl with a Fan", I like Modigliani's works, I don't know how much you will sell me? Aha, and Matisse's " Pastoral."
He looked around the entire wall, nodded and concluded: "This place is really good."
The bald-headed man with a pale face approached him, under the light, his green eyes looked more like two balls of ghostly fire.
"As long as Mr. Zhong hand over the tortoise shell obediently, as long as there are paintings in this warehouse that you have just signed up for, I can pack them up and send them to your home in London."
Zhong Zhe forced a smile, "I'm just an intermediary. After getting the tortoise shell, I will hand it over to the relevant parties. You don't think I will really keep it by myself? You might as well ask them if you ask me. I don't know where they will hide it, maybe continue to hide it where the river map was originally hidden?"
The bald man in the lead laughed sinisterly, and the guards on the left and right also laughed coldly. Obviously, no one believed Zhong Zhe's words.
"Mr. Zhong likes to joke a lot?" The bald man was obviously very dissatisfied that Zhong Zhe had fallen into their hands, and he still wanted to tease them.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head, leaned closer to Zhong Zhe and said, "Perhaps back then...you should have been buried in that room with your father, dead to death."
Zhong Zhe suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the bald man's face, his voice almost jumped out word by word.
"You said that the avalanche was not an accident?"
The bald man had already straightened up and strode away. He turned his back to Zhong Zhe and looked up at the high ceiling of the underground warehouse, as if recalling a past event with relish.
"I remember that your father wore a blue ski jacket with a dark gray cashmere sweater inside, and you often wore a dark red ski jacket with a white turtleneck sweater inside. The couple liked to wear couple clothes, and the female The night before she died, she broke the wine glass and cut her index finger. Oh, when that woman was in bed that night, she was so enthusiastic that a man couldn't bear it."
Zhong Zhe was trembling, "You watched us from beginning to end!"
"Well, it's observation. No matter how weak the prey is, a qualified hunter will not take it lightly. Only those who treat their prey seriously can be considered good hunters."
"You are not a human, but a beast! It was an avalanche, how many innocent people died!" Zhong Zhe confirmed with gritted teeth.
The bald man didn't mean to be irritated at all. He turned around leisurely, looked at Zhong Zhe indifferently and said, "Zhong Ji really thought that without Hetu tomorrow, he wouldn't have to continue to hire bodyguards anymore. It won't save his life, but it will cause us some trouble. Since he accepted our letter, he still dares to hand over the river map, so he just wants to die."
While speaking, the bald man showed his iconic weird smile again, "Of course we will fulfill him."
If eyes can kill, Zhong Zhe guarantees that the person on the opposite side has already been stabbed countless times by him inside and out, and he can't die anymore.
But now the one who couldn't move was obviously himself. After returning to his senses, Zhong Zhe asked, "Why did you keep me? Is that an accident?"
"Yes, and no." The bald man paced and said, "After the avalanche exploded, I was actually quite surprised when we found out that you were still alive with the life detector. You probably don't know that the beams of the house have been tampered with, So making sure your dad stayed in the right place and died instantly was calculated.
Of course, that couple was destined to be unlucky from the moment they agreed to your father. The moment before the collapse, I watched them go downstairs and walk towards your father, and their positions were not very coincidental.
And you, we never thought that you, at the age of 16, would be able to wait for the rescue team to arrive after you survived.You are really lucky. You were not injured at the beginning, but you were found by the search and rescue team in less than two days.
You have never been the first target, your father's death is a warning to all the families, and without the river map, your life and death are irrelevant.At that time, the Zhong family already had your sister, so as long as the blood of the Zhong family continued, it didn't matter whether you or your sister were kept.She was only a two-year-old baby at the time, and if she couldn't grow up, it would be nice to have an extra insurance for a big one like you. "
"Warning to all the families? Who do you want to warn? Why are you staring at the Zhong family?" Zhong Zhe frowned tightly, "Because my sister and I are the heirs of that bloodline? Who are you? The one with the red bird pattern What special meaning does the pattern have?"
"Tsk tsk tsk," the bald man wagged his fingers and looked at Zhong Zhe, "my poor young son who lost his father, he doesn't understand anything. It seems that Zhong Jiming hasn't had time to tell you anything. That's right, he handed over everything. He Tu, I probably feel that it doesn’t matter if we talk about some things that are too long ago. But you do know the name 'blood inheritor'."
"Why are you staring at your Zhong family? We are not the only ones staring at your Zhong family. Similarly, your Zhong family is also staring at others.
As for who we are?You should ask who everyone is. Your Zhong family is also part of this ancient world. Although it has declined a lot, it is one of the oldest.
And the pattern you mentioned, do you mean this? "
The bald man pulled open his jacket on his left arm, revealing a three-legged red bird pattern tattooed on the inside of his forearm.
"This is the golden crow pattern. Have you never seen the Zhong family's dragon and snake pattern?" The bald head was a little confused by this.
Zhong Zhe suddenly remembered the box he found in the attic, which contained the black coat of arms with a human head and a snake body like a dragon.
The bald head looked at Zhong Zhe's thoughtful expression, raised his eyebrows and continued: "Your Zhong family has been against us for thousands of years, and I'm personally very happy for your family to die cleanly. It's a pity not, I always have to keep you a little bit." Bloodlines, just a little bit, are raised like livestock, do you understand? When needed, you can let some blood out if you want, and cut some meat if you want."
The person in front of him spoke so truthfully, as if he had already tasted the taste of Zhong Zhe's flesh and blood. Zhong Zhe struggled to catch his breath so as not to lose his mind. He had never faced such pure evil directly, so that he could see it in the other party's eyes. A reflection like an animal of his own.
"Then, let's start officially." The bald head nodded to his subordinates at the side, and he approached Zhong Zhe again, showing that weird smile and said: "I'm sorry, I have a banquet tonight. In case, Although I'm not optimistic about Mr. Zhong's ability to bear the pain, I mean, if Mr. Zhong can endure these few hours, I will be very interested in coming to accompany you to continue to have an after-dinner pastime."
He walked all the way to the outside of the warehouse, and halfway, he seemed to remember something and turned around, "I forgot to tell Mr. Zhong that my subordinate likes young and beautiful men very much. If Mr. Zhong is willing to show off his good looks, maybe he will." Take it easy."
Zhong Zhe raised his eyes, and he saw the man standing in front of him, and he was so disgusted that he almost retched.
Damn it, guy who is still missing, if I can get out alive, I will never spare you.
