The night was quiet and stagnant.
Dun's howl echoed in the building, sometimes far and sometimes near. One could hear that it was a little angry. Yuwen leaned against the window and looked at the city without any expression. In another hour, dawn would appear in the horizon. Hundun, who was afraid of sunlight, could only hide in the shadows. Even if it was possessed by the Dragon God, it could not avoid the weakness of its physical body.
Thinking of the Jing River Dragon King, Yuwen couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Qing's big eyes seemed to have the ability to see through other people's hearts. After hearing Yuwen's faint sigh, she had been staring at Yuwen. Yuwen felt a little unnatural under her gaze and asked with a smile,""What are you looking at? Haven't you seen such a handsome boss before?”
Gu Qing was not in the mood to joke with him. He said faintly,"You…are you still thinking about that Jing River Dragon King?”
The smile on Yuwen's face froze. After a moment, he said,""If I was the ruler of a country, and another powerful race killed tens of thousands of my people, then it would seem natural for me to want to take revenge.”
"I sympathize with the Jing River Dragon King, but we weren't the ones who made the mistake.”
"If the Dragon King says he wants to see the current Jing River, do you dare to take him there? Liu Tianming, who had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted,"Who dares to say that people nowadays have not made mistakes?"”
Gu Qing was speechless.
Yuwen waved his hand and said," After all, the innocent are the majority. We can't let the Dragon King do whatever he wants. It's time for this to come to an end…"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar rang out, causing Gu Qing's ears to go numb, and his feet to shake violently like an earthquake. Gu Qing looked at Yuwen in horror. Yuwen nodded to her, indicating that he heard it too. This roar was very shrill, and it was very different from the previous one. Hun Dun seemed to have been attacked by something and suffered serious injuries.
"Ah, look, the elevator has appeared again!”Liu Tianming suddenly patted Yuwen's shoulder excitedly.
Sure enough, the elevator appeared in front of everyone again. It seemed that the Dragon King was indeed in trouble. His illusion had failed.
"Can you tell which direction it's in?" Yuwen asked Gu Qing anxiously.
"Probably…in that direction?”Gu Qing thought for a while and pointed to the ground on the lower left." It doesn't seem far from us."”
" Could it be..." Yuwen thought for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face." I'm afraid that Taoist master has helped again!"”
"Then what should we do now? Go down and beat up a fallen dog?" Although Liu Tianming couldn't hear the roar, the violent shaking and Yuwen Guqing's expression made him guess what had happened.
"Yes! The Dragon King is not as capable as an ordinary spirit beast. That expert may not be able to kill him. We have to go down and help.”Yuwen answered affirmatively.
"But what if the Dragon King couldn't find us, so he lured us out?”Gu Qing's words were reasonable.
"The Jing River Dragon King is proud and arrogant. He would never use such a low-level method to trick us!”Yuwen said firmly.
Gu Qing no longer objected, but he felt a faint sorrow for the Dragon King.
The three of them discussed and decided to rush downstairs immediately. Because Yuwen's Void Spirit Sand Technique had a distance limit, he could not maintain the disguised sand wall after leaving. The injured Xuangang Pu Yuan could only go down with them. The four of them followed the newly appeared safe passage. Yu Wen pulled out the Void Spirit Golden Spear and carefully opened the way in front. Liu Tianming carried the still unconscious Xuan Gang and followed closely behind. Gu Qing supported Pu Yuan and followed closely behind.
There was no movement on the twenty-fifth and twenty-fourth level, but the scene on the twenty-third level shocked Yuwen and the others!
Sixteen offices were razed to the ground! The floor was littered with broken pieces of office tables and chairs mixed with crushed documents. Half of the floor was unharmed, dozens of damaged computers were scattered everywhere, and some monitors were still emitting smoke...
The most shocking thing was not the chaotic scene, but the struggling and rolling Hun Dun in the middle of the floor! Hun Dun, who was arrogant just now, was now in great pain. His snake-shaped body was twisted into a mess. Yuwen took a closer look and saw that Hun Dun was actually bound by a huge net. The net was not made of steel wires, but extremely tiny translucent hieroglyphic runes!
Xuanyuan Kui Hunting Curse! Yuwen couldn't help but gasp. Hadn't this Dodge Talisman been lost for many years?
It was said that during the war between Xuanyuan and Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor once led his soldiers to Liupo Mountain in the East Sea to hunt Kui Beasts. He took their skin to make a big drum and beat it with the bones of the Thunder Beasts. The sound could be heard for hundreds of miles. The Xuanyuan Kui Hunting Spell was quite special. It weaved a huge net with runes that were penetrated by spiritual energy. Once it was cast, even the one-legged Kui Beast could not break free. According to the ancient records, this Daoist Divination Talisman had long been lost. For some reason, it actually appeared in front of Yuwen today.
Yuwen raised his hand to signal Liu Tianming and the others not to act rashly. At the same time, he looked around vigilantly. Although Hun Dun had been trapped by the giant net, it still had its remaining power. The chaos in the building should be caused by its struggle after being bound. He did not understand the mysteries of Taoist charms. If he attacked rashly, it might cause a reverse effect. The person who set up this Xuanyuan Kui Hunting Curse must be nearby, right?
" Crash..." With the sound of bricks rolling, a figure pushed open the fire safety door blocked by rubble and appeared in the smoke.
Du Tingtao? Could it be that he was the one who was secretly assisting them? Several thoughts flashed through Yuwen's mind, but it was difficult to decide.
Du Tingtao was also stunned when he saw Yuwen and the others, but he quickly walked up and asked with concern,""Why are you here? I don't know why this place is suddenly in such a mess…Ah! Old Pu, are you injured?"
Pu Yuan's wound was still in great pain. He only grinned at Du Tingtao.
Yuwen stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Du Tingtao, but he used Taoist etiquette. Du Tingtao was stunned for a moment before he cupped his fists and bowed back. Gu Qing and Liu Tianming looked at each other and nodded. It seemed that Du Tingtao was indeed a Taoist.
"Senior, Hun Dun has been trapped in the net. How should we deal with it now?”Yuwen humbly asked for advice.
"Hmm? What did you say?" Du Tingtao didn't seem to understand what Yuwen was saying. He looked in the direction Yuwen was pointing at and saw the huge Hun Dun. He exclaimed,""What? What kind of monster is this?"
Yuwen couldn't help but shake his head. Du Tingtao still didn't seem willing to admit that he was the one who did it. Could it be that he had other difficulties? If that was the case, it would not be good to force him to admit it. Yuwen looked back at Hun Dun. If Du Tingtao was unwilling to make a stand, he would have to make a move.
However, at that moment, Yuwen suddenly felt something was wrong. He rushed to Hundun in two or three steps. Hundun did not feel Yuwen's approach and only struggled. Yuwen stabbed Hundun's soft belly with his spear. Hundun howled in pain and rolled left and right like a wheel. The broken stones and wood pieces on the ground flew, but they were not aimed at Yuwen.
"Oh no!" Yuwen moaned.
Liu Tianming and Gu Qing didn't know what had happened, but they quickly caught up.
"The Dragon King has escaped!" Yuwen frowned.
"What? Then we can attack them one by one? This is not a bad thing. Let me kill Hun Dun first!”Liu Tianming habitually pulled out his gun and remembered that he had dropped it in the lobby on the top floor.
"No!" Yuwen stretched out his hand to stop Liu Tianming." The Dragon King hasn't fully recovered yet. Without Hun Dun's body, he can't do anything. But if we kill Hun Dun now, he will never show up again…until he fully recovers! "At that time, we will definitely not be its match. We can only let it slaughter us.”
"You mean…if the Dragon King is still in Hun Dun's body, we can kill the Dragon King while destroying Hun Dun?”Gu Qing asked.
"Yes!" Yuwen nodded.
"But what if the Dragon King forgets about this and gives up on Hundun's physical body until it recovers?”Gu Qing panicked.
" I can't care so much now. We'll cross the bridge when we come to it..." Yuwen sighed.
Gu Qing was about to speak when a fierce argument came from behind. The three of them turned their heads and saw Pu Yuan and Du Tingtao, who were standing near the elevator, arguing for some reason.
Liu Tianming shook his head and smiled." They're still in the mood to argue about private matters at a time like this. They're really greedy."”In Liu Tianming's mind, if these bosses quarreled, it would either be for money or for women.
Suddenly, the three of them felt a strong wind blowing from the side.
"Not good! Quickly dodge!" Yuwen immediately understood that Hun Dun must be using the wind to test their position.
Liu Tianming reacted quickly and ran in the opposite direction of the strong wind. Gu Qing was a step slower. Before he knew what had happened, Yuwen grabbed Gu Qing and threw him to the right. Yuwen rolled on top of Gu Qing.
"Bang!" Hun Dun's huge body rose into the air and smashed heavily on the spot where Yuwen and the others had been standing. The gravel and sand that were stirred up splashed all over Yuwen's body. Yuwen turned over and jumped onto half of the table beside him. Then, he jumped with all his might and stabbed Hun Dun's tail from the air. Hun Dun was trapped by the huge net. He had used all his strength to smash the ground just now. He did not care about his posture. After falling to the ground, his belly was facing the sky. Yuwen's spear was as powerful as lightning. It pierced through Hun Dun's body, and the latter half of his body was nailed to the ground. Even though it was extremely ferocious, it could no longer move and resist.
Gu Qing stood up shakily and was about to cheer for Yuwen when he realized that Du Tingtao was the only one left behind. Pu Yuan was gone!
"What happened? Where's Chairman Pu?" Gu Qing walked to Du Tingtao's side, but he saw that Du Tingtao's face was pale and his lips were trembling.
" Old Pu…Old Pu fell down…" Du Tingtao stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at the elevator with the cave door wide open." Just now, he walked over there in a huff. Coincidentally…Coincidentally, the monster fell to the ground and shook. Old Pu lost his balance and fell…down…"
"Ah?" The sudden change stunned Gu Qing, Yuwen Ji, and Liu Tianming. The elevator doors had already been smashed into pieces when it was struggling and rolling, revealing a bottomless empty well. If Pu Yuan had really fallen down, how could he have survived?
Liu Tianming was about to rush up to investigate, but Gu Qing pulled him back." Wait! Look, what's going on?”Gu Qing's voice was filled with fear.
Yuwen could also see that there were three elevator entrances in front of everyone! However, there had always been only two elevators in the Tenglong Building.
" Du Tingtao…You're so cruel…" A cold and bone-chilling cry that sounded like a ghost's soul-searching voice came from the third elevator shaft that had suddenly appeared.
Du Tingtao's face turned from pale to dark green. His eyes bulged out and he was making a sound in his throat.
Pu Yuan, who had fallen down, slowly rose up from the elevator shaft! Behind him, Song Qiaozhi's extremely terrifying face gradually appeared.
"Qiao Zhi…is that really you?" Pu Yuan actually turned around to look at Song Qiaozhi, not afraid of that ghost face at all.
The black wandering soul did not reply. It landed lightly on the ground and pushed Pu Yuan forward. Liu Tianming quickly supported him.
" Ghost…there's a ghost…" Du Tingtao muttered. He wanted to retreat step by step, but Yuwen seemed to have guessed something. He turned around and blocked Du Tingtao's way.
"Old Du…you really could do it! You actually pushed me into the elevator shaft!" Pu Yuan steadied himself and glared at Du Tingtao.
Du Tingtao, whose face was twisted and deformed, could not avoid it. He suddenly burst into laughter."Hahahaha…Pu Yuan, Song Qiaozhi, aren't you two extremely loving? Isn't it good enough for me to fulfill your wishes and let you two be lovers? Haha…"
Pu Yuan said with some heartache," Old Du, do you think I don't know everything you've done? The situation is so grim now, but I still turn a blind eye and watch you move Teng Long's assets out bit by bit. But you're still not satisfied and actually want to kill me!”
"Bullshit! What kind of good person are you, Pu Yuan?" Du Tingtao shouted at the top of his lungs," Is the Tenglong Kingdom yours alone? When have you ever taken us elders, who have exhausted our youth for the Soaring Dragon, seriously? Yes, I did take a lot of money, but this is what I should take! The construction of the Teng Long Building…To be honest, I took 60 million. I want to start a new business. I have to get back the money that belongs to me!”
Gu Qing's guess was finally confirmed by Du Tingtao.
"And you! Pu Yuan, you are the head of the Soaring Dragon. Is money really that important to you? But you actually grabbed my weakness and tried to take back the 60 million yuan from me time and time again! Of course, this money would naturally become your property under your name. Hmph…What a good turn a blind eye! I'm the one who's charged with corruption, but you're the one who took the money!”Du Tingtao actually said something shocking.
Pu Yuan had an innocent expression as he said anxiously,""Old Du, don't slander me! When did I ever need to take money from you again…"
The wandering soul suddenly let out a long and miserable cry, scaring the two men who were arguing into silence. Yuwen also vigilantly shook the hollow spirit spear and watched Song Qiaozhi's every move. This woman's actions could not be judged by common sense.
"Men…all you care about is your power and money. Women are just toys in your eyes!”Song Qiaozhi's cold tone made everyone shudder.
" Du Tingtao…Thanks to you, I've become like this…" Song Qiaozhi's cold gaze swept across Du Tingtao. The latter did not dare to look her in the eye.
" Pu Yuan…" Song Qiaozhi turned her gaze to Pu Yuan. Pu Yuan knelt on the ground and said sadly,""Qiao Zhi…I harmed you, but you saved me twice! I…I…"
Gu Qing's heart trembled. Could it be that the two men in front of her were the ones who killed her sister? She jumped out and shouted at Song Qiaozhi,"Sister! Who harmed you? Tell me quickly, I won't let him off!”
"Do you want to know why there are three elevators here?" Song Qiaozhi smiled sadly. Let me tell you slowly…"
A page of the past that was almost buried by the sands of time was finally blown away by the wind and exposed to the sun again.
" I…am not a clean woman. I relied on selling myself to gain a foothold in the Soaring Dragon, but this did not stop me from finding my own love. Du Tingtao, I still have to thank you. Although you pushed me to Pu Yuan because you wanted me to help you gather information, I still cannot deny that the time I spent with Pu Yuan was the happiest time of my life.”
"Yeah…I admit that those few months were the happiest days of my life.”Pu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, continued Song Qiaozhi's sentence." If only you didn't threaten me with your pregnancy…It would be great…Do you know? At that time, Teng Long had just been targeted by the higher-ups. How could I dare to spread rumors at that time…"
"Pu Yuan, you're too full of yourself!”Song Qiaozhi interrupted Pu Yuan hatefully." That's right, you're indeed very careful. Every time you're intimate with me, you've taken sufficient safety measures. If I didn't do anything, I really wouldn't have gotten pregnant with your child! But do you know why I want to get pregnant with your child?”
Pu Yuan was stunned.
"Yes, you have a virtuous and beautiful wife, an obedient and cute daughter, and your great career. And I'm just an unclean woman, but I know my limits. I've never thought of asking you for any status! I only truly love you and want to have a child with you. I want to leave this city with a sum of money and go to a secluded place to raise the child…But you're not even willing to fulfill such a small wish of mine and even let that bastard Du Tingtao plot against me!”
"But…why did you send me your pregnancy certificate? " He even wrote such a letter…" Pu Yuan had already faintly sensed that there was another conspiracy.
"You arrogant fellow, do you really think that every woman who approaches you is for your money? Why did I send you the pregnancy certificate? I only know that Du Tingtao stole my pregnancy certificate!”Song Qiaozhi's anger made her face look even more terrifying.
Pu Yuan slowly turned his head and stared at Du Tingtao.""Did you forge that letter?”
Du Tingtao laughed out loud, a sinister expression on his face." That's right, I wrote that letter. I've wanted to kill this b * stard for a long time. I just wanted to take this opportunity to drag you into the water so that you wouldn't dare to touch me casually in the future!”
"You! Why did you harm Qiao Zhi?"
"I harmed her? She wanted to harm me! I let her be the financial director of the Soaring Dragon Branch and let her manage the construction work of the Soaring Dragon Building with me. I gave her a lot of money, but she secretly collected financial evidence that I had tampered with! I only hate myself for not taking action earlier and letting her send all the evidence to you!”
"I didn't receive any evidence like you said!”Pu Yuan shouted.
"You didn't receive it? Who else could it be but you?”Du Tingtao roared.
Gu Qing couldn't stand it anymore. She rushed forward and gave Pu Yuan a tight slap." Pu Yuan, if you really love my sister, why didn't you confirm with her after you received her pregnancy diagnosis? You didn't even give her a call and decided to let Du Tingtao kill my sister?”
Pu Yuan was silent for a long time before he painfully said,""Gu Qing, I was indeed wrong, but the situation at that time was not that simple. You know that I am very careful about my social image, so I did not leave your sister's phone number, and naturally did not ask for her phone number. When I received the pregnancy diagnosis, I was in the capital and couldn't escape. I thought that your sister was actually a chess piece specially arranged by Du Tingtao to deal with me. At that time, I really loved and hated her, so I turned against Du Tingtao and asked him to deal with this matter for me. I didn't ask Du Tingtao to kill your sister. I just wanted to see how Du Tingtao would react. Who knew that Du Tingtao would tell me a few days later that he had done as I requested and killed Song Qiaozhi! By then, it would be too late for me to regret…"
" At that time…it was almost the new year…it was very cold…" Song Qiaozhi raised her head slightly, and her voice was unusually calm as she recounted her memories." On the 29th of the new year, I went to the construction site of the Tenglong Building for the last time. According to Du Tingtao's arrangement, I went to give red packets to the workers who were preparing to go home for the new year. The workers were all packing up and there was no one in the building. On the 18th floor, I met Du Tingtao. He asked me if I had another construction account and wanted me to hand it over immediately. I rejected him and told him that I had already sent the account to Pu Yuan. I didn't want to help him fake the account anymore. Du Tingtao immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. Seeing that the elevator was in maintenance mode and the door was open, he pushed me down the cargo elevator-the fourth elevator that you're looking at now. I used my ten fingers to grab onto the edge of the elevator door and begged Du Tingtao to spare my life. However, this heartless beast used his feet to step on my ten fingers. As he stepped on them, he told me that it was Pu Yuan who made him do this…Every finger of mine was covered in scars and blood. In the end, I couldn't hold on any longer and let go of my hand and fell down.”
Liu Tianming looked at Du Tingtao angrily and clenched his fists. How could this guy do such a thing!
" I screamed and fell down, thinking that I must have fallen to my death. But it didn't. The elevator stopped at the 12th floor. I only broke my leg…Later, I realized that if I had fallen to my death, it would have been my blessing…"
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but shiver.
