In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Chapter 189: Lieutenant, you're becoming more and more like Zhang Dafoye!

Not long after, the auction at the Crescent Moon Hotel ended, and Wu Xie and the others were taken back to the Huo family by Old Madam Huo, who said she was going to tell them about the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish.

Su Mo knew that this was because Old Madam Huo didn't want her to get involved in this matter anymore.

Su Mo didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he had gotten involved in this matter unintentionally.

After the auction ended, many prominent figures in Beijing's antique world gathered outside Su Mo's door. Dealing with goods in the marketplace was no easier than robbing tombs, so Su Mo didn't rush to leave. He exchanged pleasantries and chatted with everyone for half an hour before bidding them farewell and going outside.

Wang Kaixuan drove the car to the entrance of the Crescent Moon Hotel. "Brother Su, get in..."

Su Mo pushed open the car door and was about to get in when he frowned, sensing something, and looked towards the top floor of the Crescent Hotel behind him.

"Hey…"

Su Mo cursed under his breath. "That old bastard..."

"Smack!"

Su Mo closed the car door again and asked Wang Kaixuan to take Yingzi and Nannan to Panjiayuan first.

"You guys go ahead. I'm going to meet an old friend..."

Su Mo leaped into the air, instantly landing on the second floor. He then rapidly shifted and moved towards the top floor of the Crescent Hotel.

"Lieutenant, how have you been?"

"Wow, this is the fifth floor! You actually used your light-footed skills to swing up here!"

Su Mo entered through the top-floor window. Just as he regained his footing, the man finished speaking and launched a flying kick at him.

"Holy crap, another sneak attack!"

Su Mo cried out and raised his right hand, instantly blocking the flying kick.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, Su Mo subconsciously took a step back, putting distance between himself and the old man.

Zhang Rishan immediately pressed forward, swinging his fists horizontally with a very standard posture and very fast punches, but Su Mo kept pulling away to the left and right sides with great speed, making it difficult for his opponent to hit him.

"..."

Zhang Rishan threw several punches without much effect, then seized an opportunity and slammed his knee into Su Mo's right ribs.

Su Mo stepped forward, using his left upper arm to brace against the opponent's leg, and then swept his left calf out. With a loud thud, the opponent lost his balance and was thrown into the air.

"call out!"

Su Mo was incredibly fast. He caught the man's buttocks with his right hand, preventing him from falling from the air. He even held the man up for a moment in mid-air before letting him down.

"Kid, your skills are terrifying now. I couldn't even last two moves against you!"

Zhang Rishan looked at him as if he were a monster.

Su Mo chuckled, "I just heard from the people at the Crescent Moon Hotel that you were listening to music, and I was wondering, with such a big thing happening, you couldn't even calm down and listen to music..."

The two heads of the Yin family were anxious, but Su Mo believed that Zhang Rishan was no less anxious than they were.

Back then, Zhang Rishan had specifically instructed Su Mo to inform him immediately if there was any news about Zhang Qiling.

Now that Zhang Qiling has shown up right under his nose, Zhang Rishan, out of consideration for their relationship, has no choice but to watch Zhang Qiling leave.

This huge psychological gap is something that only Zhang Rishan can understand!

"Brat..."

Zhang Rishan laughed and scolded, "Now you've gotten so bold, daring to make fun of me..."

Su Mo chuckled and stared at Zhang Rishan, looking him up and down. After more than ten years, Zhang Rishan was still so young, without any change.

suddenly!

Seeing the ring on Zhang Rishan's hand, Su Mo's expression was complicated. "So you've finally put on Zhang Dafoye's ring after all..."

Zhang Rishan touched the ring on his hand, and seeing the object brought back memories. The scene of him following Buddha to the Bronze Tomb in Changsha flashed before his eyes, as if it were just yesterday.

But... that was seventy years ago!

Thinking of this, Zhang Rishan sighed deeply.

My old friends are passing away one by one, like leaves falling in the wind!

Su Mo said, "Lieutenant, Wu Sansheng has disappeared, just like Xie Lianhuan back then..."

Zhang Rishan paused slightly, wondering what Su Mo wanted to say.

Su Mo reminded him, "Wu Sansheng might be investigating something from back then... like the incident at the Banna sanatorium!"

Back then, Zhang Rishan must have been involved in the affairs of the Panay Sanatorium, and perhaps even one of the key figures in it.

With Zhang Qiling's appearance and Wu Sansheng's disappearance, the events at the Banna Sanatorium will inevitably be exposed in the future; this is an indisputable fact.

"........."

Zhang Rishan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Let him be!"

The events of that year were too shocking and involved too many people. Coupled with the complexities of that era, even the Buddha was just following orders.

In the face of overwhelming odds, they are nothing more than insignificant pawns in a game of power.

"..."

Su Mo remained silent for a while before saying, "Lieutenant!"

"Ok?"

Su Mo bluntly stated, "You're really starting to resemble Zhang Dafoye more and more..."

After saying that, Su Mo leaped down again.

Zhang Rishan stared at Su Mo's retreating figure, muttering, "It organizes..."

.........

The incident at the Crescent Hotel was just a minor episode; after returning to Panjiayuan, everyone's lives returned to normal.

Fatty, Lao Hu, and Zhang Yingchuan often came over to visit, and the group would often get completely drunk, living a very comfortable life.

this day.

Wang Kaixuan asked, "Brother Su, where's Xiaohua? She hasn't come back to pay her respects lately."

This time, even Zhang Yingzhen couldn't stand it anymore: "Come on, you're trying to bully Xiaohua again, aren't you? Let me tell you, Xiaohua is traumatized by you now."

"Stop bullying that child!"

From childhood to adulthood, Fatty often took Xie Xiaohua out to play, and of course, he also bullied her quite a bit.

Once, Fatty did something that left Xie Xiaohua traumatized.

Five or six years ago, Fatty took Xiaohua out for drinks.

The two were completely drunk.

As a result... while Xiao Hua was drunk, the fat man changed her into a set of women's clothing, even ancient costume, and took pictures.

the next day.

After Xie Xiaohua sobered up, he saw himself dressed in women's clothing and heard that the fat man had taken pictures of him. He immediately took out his black gold battle sword and chased the fat man around Panjiayuan for a whole morning.

In the end, it was Lao Hu who stepped in and made the fat man apologize, and confiscated the photos.

Yes, it was confiscated!

After this incident, Xiaohua never drank alone with Fatty again.

The old man, who lacked respect for his elders, also cast a huge shadow over Xie Xiaohua.

In Xie Xiaohua's eyes, this fat man was a devil incarnate.

Wang Kaixuan was overjoyed when he recalled what happened back then: "Old Hu, do you still have that photo? Let me see it!"

"Alright, stop fooling around. Stop joking with Xiaohua. He's all grown up now, and he's the head of the Xie family. If others find out, won't you be ashamed?"

Old Hu spoke up and said something fair for the little guy.

To his surprise, the fat man retorted, "If you care so much about Xiaohua, you must have already burned those photos..."

Old Hu: "..."

Old Hu blushed. Of course he still kept those photos; they were the infamous dark history of the head of the Xie family, and showing them off would definitely make him look good.

The guy with the short nail looked at the two brothers with a disgusted expression.

"..."

Su Mo was speechless. Despite being his disciple, these people were treating him like a complete stranger.

These years of pampered life have also given these old guys a lot of wicked tastes.

Just then, a bodyguard came in from outside. "Master Su, there's a fat man outside requesting an audience. He says his name is Wang Banyue and he's your friend..."

Chapter 190: Wang Banyue Becomes a Disciple

"Master Su, there's a fat man outside requesting an audience. He says his name is Wang Yueban and he's your friend..."

Why is he here?

Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, but Wang Kaixuan, who was standing next to him, immediately stood up and said, "I'm the one who sent this little guy. A few days ago at the New Moon Hotel, I grew to like this chubby boy more and more. He's just so to my liking..."

Old Hu asked in surprise, "Fatty, are you going to take on apprentices too?"

Zhang Yingchuan chuckled from the side, "Now you can play with your apprentice... Stop bullying Xiaohua..."

Su Mo thought about it and felt that it wasn't a bad idea for the fat man to take on apprentices, since their team also needed fresh blood.

The orphanage not only produced four fierce generals, but in recent years it has also cultivated many talents who can fight alone. Su Mo personally bestowed upon them the titles of Dragon One, Dragon Two... all the way up to Dragon Ten.

A vast empire centered on Su Mo has been formed.

At the same time, Su Mo also did not forget to recruit talents from outside.

Su Mo said, "Bring them in..."
