Chapter 376: Behind the Shock
The one who appeared in front of Xia Lan was the rich middle-aged man who lured him when he sneaked into the Governor's Office a few days ago. After hearing the urgent notice from the other party, Xia Lan boarded the carriage that the other party had prepared and quickly galloped towards the Governor's Office without saying a word. ()
He knew the strength of a middle-aged man in wealth, and even a strong man like him showed a panic and anxious expression, which showed that something big must have happened to Sir Holebas, so how can Xia Lan not be cautious?
The rich middle-aged man called himself Pilar, the housekeeper of Sir Holebath, and a powerful figure who was responsible for handling all matters in the Governor's Office. When Shalan asked about the reason why Sir Holebath urgently summoned him, Pilar's answer immediately shocked him.
Something happened in the abandoned warehouse in Baifan District.
The accident was that Holebas specially sent to the old warehouse to secretly guard the personal guards who were safe at the excavation site. In the evening, he noticed the sneaky figure near the old warehouse and immediately started a search. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by the other party during the investigation. If he had not broken through the siege, he would have been unable to escape the end of his death on the spot.
When Xia Lan heard this, she became gloomy and speechless. The terrifying aura that was sitting opposite him made Pilar, who was sitting opposite him, feel a little scared.
Until the two arrived at the Governor's Office and rushed to Sir Holebath's study, Xia Lan finally had an emotional attack when she sat at the desk in the face of silence.
"Sir Holebas! Have you forgotten my warning to you?"
He asked quite rudely and politely, his eyes staring at Holebas were filled with biting coldness.
"It's over here, it's useless to say more." Holebas knew he was in the wrong, but he was also tough.
"I just want to know one thing. Whether your guard has revealed the relics." Xia Lan said coldly and ruthlessly.
"You can rest assured about this. Even if he dies, he will not be able to reveal any information about the relics!" Holebas snorted coldly.
Xia Lan's expression slowed down a little, and the atmosphere in the study gradually became less tense than the initial tension. After pondering for a moment, he said, "How is the guard's injury? Can I go to see him now and ask about something?"
"His injuries have settled down and are now in resting, so I'm afraid it's not suitable to disturb him." Sir Holebas said.
"What if I had to see him?"
As soon as Xia Lan spoke, the atmosphere in the study became tense again.
"Sir, maybe Xia Lan insists on meeting Nessid, I'm afraid there is something important. Why not..." At this time, Pilar, who was silent on the side, hurriedly came forward to persuade Sir Holebas to ease the atmosphere. He didn't want Holebas and Xia Lan to completely break up because of this matter, and it turned out that it was not a good thing for both sides.
After all, Holebas is a person who is concerned about the overall situation. He chose to compromise, but this does not mean that he is surrendering to Xia Lan and showing weakness.
A seed of breaking was unconsciously buried in the future relationship between the two.
...
Nesid lay on a big white bed, his breath was weak, sometimes without, and his body was covered with bright red gauze oozing. He opened his eyes and twisted his head slightly with difficulty to look at the group standing in front of the bed.
"Is Nesid? I want to know all the causes and consequences of you when you were seriously injured." Xia Lan asked directly as soon as she saw the other party open her eyes.
Nesid did not answer Xia Lan immediately, but looked at Sir Holebas on the side. After the other party nodded slightly, he slowly said with difficulty: "At that time, I remembered the silent alert on the scene where I was digging. Suddenly, I found a sneaky figure quietly investigating the situation on the scene. Then I planned to secretly track down the other party's origin. Perhaps the other party discovered my tracks and immediately fled. I felt strange and hurriedly chased after him. Who knew... Who knew I met the ambush they had prepared for..."
Nesid coughed violently, his chest fluctuated, and his face turned blue and white. After a long time, he continued to say: "There are three people on the other side, and they are at least in the middle level of the upper level. They are covered with black cloaks and can't see clearly. I immediately fled when I noticed something was wrong, but the other side's reaction was beyond my imagination. They blocked my way and asked me some things..."
"What questions did they ask you?" Xia Lan interrupted with a calm face.
"They asked me the real reason for digging the underground of the waste warehouse!" Nesid said. "But I remained silent and did not answer any of their questions. As a result, they tried to kill me to silence me!"
A hint of pain appeared on Nesid's face, as if he had recalled the tragic scene of the battle at that time.
"They are very strong and fierce. The most terrifying thing is that they work together seamlessly. In a moment, I was severely injured under their siege. If I hadn't been taking the potion that stimulates potential in my body in time, I'm afraid I would not have been able to break through the siege and survive..."
"Apart from their strength, have you noticed any strange characteristics in them?" Xia Lan asked.
"Strange feature?"
Nesid suddenly fell into deep thought and began to think about it carefully.
"Wait... It seems that they do have some of the same characteristics." Nesid glared at his eyes, as if he thought of something and said: "Although they blinded themselves in a pitch-black cloak, they would reveal their sword-holding hands when attacking. I noticed that their left middle fingers were wearing the same style of silver-gray ring!"
It was them indeed!
Xia Lan's mind was shaking, and there was no strangeness on her face. He nodded and turned around to signal that Sir Holebath had finished asking himself. Then, they were not convenient for them to disturb Nesid's rest and retreated from the room and returned to Sir Holebath's study again.
"You seem to know who the person who attacked Nesid ambushed."
Even though Xia Lan had concealed it well just now, Holebas still saw the clues.
"Yes, but I can't tell you their identities!" Xia Lan admitted.
"Does the entire Port Louis have enemies that leave me helpless?" Sir Holebas snorted coldly.
Even the Holy Temple of Light was helpless and overturned Fangs with no choice but to deal with it? Xia Lan couldn't help feeling ridiculous about Holebas' arrogance, but he wouldn't say some words.
"The only thing we can be glad now is that the matter of the relics has not been exposed yet." Xia Lan said without further ado.
"But they will know sooner or later!" said Sir Holebas. "The relics will always be excavated."
But the location where the relics are buried is fake, and the relics will never be excavated. Xia Lan looked at Holebas and sneered secretly, but said, "So we must take the strictest precautions before the relics are excavated."
"I really want to know what the relics in your mouth are now." Sir Holebas said in a deep voice.
"I advise you not to know." Xia Lan said coldly: "And if this relic is obtained by the people who ambush Nesheid, things will go to a situation that you cannot imagine."
Alerting!
Holebas was disdainful of Xia Lan's horrifying warning, and he thought he wanted to cut off his thoughts on the relics.
Ancient relics! Even Holebas couldn't remain indifferent. After hearing what Xia Lan said, he was very interested in relics!
"What if their people show up again?" Holebas said with a pretentious concern.
"No need to pay attention!" Xia Lan said simply.
"But we will never forget Nesied's hatred!" Holebas said with a deep expression.
"Sooner or later you will face them one day."
Want to take revenge? Although you are a big figure with power in Port Louis, what is the subverting Fang? They are the terrifying existences that subvert and destroy one kingdom after another in Elderland's history. If Holebas wants to die, Xia Lan doesn't care. As long as he doesn't interfere with his plan to excavate the relics, he will do whatever he can to provoke Subvert Fang!
However, subverting the fangs wandered in his heart like a nightmare and he always couldn't mind it. He decided that he had to personally follow up and investigate their movements these days, otherwise it would make Xia Lan unable to sleep or eat.
He was not prepared to tell Holebas about his actions. After this, he had no trust in Holebas anymore. Perhaps he had begun to vaguely realize that Holebas had greedy thoughts about the relics.
pity.
Neither subvert the Fangs nor Holebas will ever get the relics!
...
The next day, Xia Lan came to the near No. 112 of the abandoned warehouse in Baifan District, secretly observing the movements around her. In the early morning, noon, and evening, Xia Lan never found any suspicious signs around her. Just when he decided to give up his observation today and returned to the hotel, an inexplicable figure suddenly appeared in his perception.
Coming?!
Following the perceived detection direction, Xia Lan immediately calmed down and started tracking. After a while, he found a man in black in a dark alley who was watching the movements of warehouse No. 122 in the distance.
Xia Lan did not alarm the other party, but quietly observed the man in black patiently, like the oriole behind the cicada.
Until late in the morning, the man in black retreated, and Xia Lan kept following him.
He saw the man in black evacuated and entered a common house shortly after he appeared again. When he appeared again, with the lights of the street lights, the other party actually dressed up as a young and handsome nobleman. He walked through several streets and alleys and took a luxurious carriage parked in the alley and drove slowly away.
At this moment, Xia Lan suddenly felt that the carriage was a little familiar. What he unexpectedly expected was that the carriage actually stopped in front of a gorgeous house on Dingxiang Avenue in Wisteria District.
Xia Lan's eyelids twitched, he would not forget this place.
Because he has been here before.
The door of the house opened, the carriage slowly drove in, the brightly lit door of the house opened, and a familiar figure appeared. The young noble man got out of the car in front of the door, stepped forward and hugged the person who greeted him intimately, and then the two walked in together.
Xia Lan walked out of the dark alley and looked at the gorgeous residence in the distance with a gloomy look.
He didn't expect that the true identity of the man in black would be Sir Lawlands!
