C2565 I'm Here to Denounce You(4)
After saying what he wanted to say, Faang Cheng nodded at the old man and walked out of the wooden house.
The old man frowned and watched Faang Cheng leave. Then he lowered his head and looked at the money bag on his chest. He thought about what the young man had said and suddenly widened his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something impossible.
"How... How is this possible? Could it be that that young man is... is... "
The old man stood up, somewhat at a loss as to what to do. He looked at the cigarette bag that he had just smoked on the table and was slightly stunned for a moment before he immediately packed his things.
"This Yun Family... can't stay any longer. I can't do this job anymore. I have to... I have to go home!"
The old man sped up the pace of packing his things.
Faang Cheng walked out of the wooden house and onto the street. He saw Little Four and Xiao Fei gesturing with their hands. It seemed like they were testing some kind of technique. The three girls were huddled together, whispering something to each other, looking very mysterious! Lee Zhaowen, who had a dissatisfied expression just now, seemed to have eased up a lot under the pincer attack of Chang Yuqi and Yu Yien.
"Oh, I'm not happy yet!"
Faang Cheng walked over and looked at Lee Zhaowen with a smile.
"This kid has quite a temper!"
Yu Yien shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Actually, the old man didn't say anything wrong when he asked about it. It's not a lie. The more dangerous the information, the more expensive it is. It is not easy for the old man to tell us some things! If we find a more cowardly person, he will not say a word about how much money you give him. He might even... chase us away like a plague!"
Chang Yuqi understood what these ordinary people were thinking!
"That's right, Yuqi is right!"
Faang Cheng also nodded his head, indicating that he agreed with Chang Yuqi's words!
"You have to know, we went to investigate the Yun Family's matter. This was actually clearly telling everyone that we aren't on the same side as the Yun Family. We are even their arch-enemy! Think about it, these people still have to live in Sun City. Will they disregard their own safety and tell us that these strangers have something to do with the Yun Family? No matter how much money we give them, is life more important or money more important? They don't even want to have anything to do with you. They'll probably chase us all out!"
Faang Cheng could imagine what kind of treatment they would receive if they found a slightly cowardly civilian!
"That's why the old gatekeeper is quite bold and open-minded! He can also choose to take money to tell us some clues about this road. He won't be like others who don't dare to talk to us! Moreover, regardless of whether what he says is true or false, at least he gave us a direction to move forward in. Think about it, if we can't ask anything... Depends on our own investigation? When will we find clues? Will the Yun family be foolish enough to leave behind clues for us?"
Faang Cheng's continuous questioning made Lee Zhaowen not know how to answer. He scratched his hair in annoyance!
"But... with that old man's appearance, I don't believe that he would give us false clues at all. Did he fabricate it? If that's the case, we will be investigating in the wrong direction instead. At that time, it will be a waste of time! "
This was what Lee Zhaowen was worried about.
"No, I think... what that old man said should be true!"
Faang Cheng shook his head.
"First of all, my intuition. You know, I always believe in my intuition! Secondly, if he really fabricated it, then I really have to admire this old man's ability to fabricate plots. It would be a waste if he didn't write a script for the storyteller under the heavenly bridge! We only found him in this short period of time, right? If what you said is true... He's fabricating a lie, which means that he fabricated these lies after we found him. Come on! Tell us! You have to know... he didn't have the ability to predict our arrival. He didn't have the time to rehearse! And third, even if he took ten thousand steps back, the Yun family had already told him before they left. If we came to deal with us, he could fabricate a more convincing reason! In order to distance himself from the trouble of offending us, he could totally say that he didn't know where the Yun Family had gone. Wouldn't it be better if this family disappeared overnight? Or rather, the Yun family had gone on a long journey. As for where exactly they had gone... How could he, a gatekeeper, know!? Why did he have to come up with such a reason that made people feel like he was lying to himself? The Yun Family's ancestral mansion was located at the easternmost part of Sun City, the place where the first ray of light could be found in the morning. Such a reason... If he really was the creator, I'm afraid even he himself wouldn't believe it!"
Faang Cheng's words made sense. Lee Zhaowen's tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed when he heard this. Even Little Four, Yuan Yue, and the others, who were doing their own things, gathered around him!
"So, I think these words should be some rumors and stories that the old man really heard from others. Even if he himself might not believe it, when we asked him, he still told us some of the rumors that he had heard. He told us everything in detail! "
On this point, Faang Cheng believed this old man very much. He could not guarantee that these rumors were true, but he could guarantee that the old man was telling the truth!
"Hmm... You analyze it this way. That makes sense!"
Lee Zhaowen finally understood what Faang Cheng was thinking. He nodded and admitted what Faang Cheng was thinking!
"You don't feel awkward anymore?"
Yu Yien looked at Lee Zhaowen with a smile.2
"Who is awkward? This is called the spirit of exploration. It is normal for me to have doubts, okay?"
Lee Zhaowen said loudly without any embarrassment. He felt that his spirit of research was worthy of praise!
"There is indeed no mistake!"
Faang Cheng nodded.
Faang Cheng's words made Lee Zhaowen even more proud. He raised his head and looked askance at Yu Yien. His provocation was obvious.
"But next time, it will be even better if you have doubts in your head!"
Faang Cheng said directly. This sentence almost made Lee Zhaowen twist his neck!
"You... Eh? Why did that old man leave? He's still holding onto my bag. Brother, do you think he has a guilty conscience and wants to escape?!"
Lee Zhaowen still wanted to say something, but when he turned his head, he saw that the old man who was guarding the door just now was carrying his burden. He was sneakily walking out of the cabin, but he did not have time to look around. Lowering his head, he quickly walked towards his home!
