Chapter 687: You Come Home With Me
Xu Tian nodded. He knew nothing about the pattern within the Azure Wolf Hall. This girl Zhong Yu had a simple mind, so maybe he could fish for information from her, giving him a rough understanding of the current forces.
"Brother Yi, how do you plan to deal with those old guys?" Zhong Yu blinked her big eyes, looking innocent.
"What do you think?" Xu Tian threw this question back without changing his expression.
"If I were you, I would definitely slaughter all those old things who have worked hard!"
Zhong Yu raised her little fist eagerly.
"You don't know, during the days you were missing, those old things became more and more unbridled. And knowing you have returned, they didn't even say hello. Don't tell me they are waiting for you, Brother Yi, to visit them personally?"
"I think these old things have lived comfortable lives for too long and have long forgotten your thunderous means. Since you have returned this time, you must give them some color to see!"
Xu Tian silently recorded this information in his heart. He had learned from the high-level members who came to see him earlier that the Azure Wolf Hall had now split into two camps. The old things Zhong Yu mentioned should be the other camp that split off after the Wolf King went missing.
"Do you know what those old things said? They don't believe you returned at all, and even said you are an impostor, must investigate clearly, and even said they would kill you after finding evidence!" Zhong Yu was very indignant.
Xu Tian had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.
There was one point those old things were right about; he really was an impostor.
"Give me the list of these old things, and also find out the personnel information of the people supporting them behind the scenes." Xu Tian's slender index finger tapped on the table in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"No need for you to order, I have already organized it!" Zhong Yu snapped her fingers, "Only I know you best in the entire Azure Wolf Hall!"
"But Brother Yi, you just returned, so don't act rashly. If you want to pull these old things and their party members behind the scenes out by the roots, you can only break them one by one."
"If there is a large-scale infighting in our Azure Wolf Hall now, it might give other gangs outside an opportunity."
"I know."
Actually, he didn't need Zhong Yu to remind him of this, and Xu Tian couldn't easily tear his face with those old things.
Even if he were the real Wolf King, he should observe silently and deploy secretly at such a time, let alone him, this impostor.
Before the situation was clear and he had full confidence, Xu Tian couldn't easily take action.
"Brother Yi, it's getting late, I'll send you back."
Zhong Ling didn't know where she took out a set of car keys and threw an arc in mid-air.
"Are you an adult?" Xu Tian regretted asking this sentence; it was too easy to expose his identity.
Fortunately, Zhong Yu's personality was careless and didn't notice anything wrong. Instead, she complained to him with some resentment: "You don't look at how long you've been away, I've long been an adult!"
"Fine, I'm a bit tired, you drive and send me back."
Xu Tian wasn't familiar with the environment on Wuji Island and didn't know where the Wolf King lived before. Letting Zhong Yu drive him back was the best choice.
The two came out of the building to get the car. Five minutes later, Xu Tian sat in Zhong Ling's pink sports car and drove away from the parking lot.
Zhong Ling drove the car extremely fast, and Xu Tian's expression was a bit dazed, but he still had to pretend to be calm. He endured this journey very hard.
Fortunately, the sports car drove for more than twenty minutes and stopped at the entrance of a desolate courtyard.
Of course, Xu Tian knew that the normal journey definitely took more than twenty minutes. Helplessly, this little girl drove the car to the level of a rally race. If he had other choices, he would absolutely not sit in her car again.
"Brother Yi, we're here." The little girl unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Xu Tian, "Only you dare to live in this kind of ghost place. I don't understand, you're not short of money, why do you have to buy a ghost house?"
"That place on the second floor once had someone hang themselves. It is said that a perverted serial killer killed a family of five, and the bodies were mixed with cement and built into the wall. And it is said that this place is haunted every few days. Did you notice any abnormality when you lived here before?"
"Of course not, and I don't care."
Xu Tian was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he cursed the Wolf King he had never met again.
Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, living in this kind of isolated villa in the wilderness was indeed somewhat unlucky.
And the little girl also said the Wolf King wasn't short of money, so why did he have to buy a house in this kind of ghost place?
When he chose a villa in Jiangcheng before, even if he bought it in the suburbs, he bought a townhouse, surrounded by villas where rich people
He hadn't expected this Wolf King to have such unique taste, actually buying himself a haunted house.
"No one has lived in this villa for a long time. It's not that I don't want to find a cleaner for you, but no matter how high a price I offer, others refuse to come once they hear it's a haunted house. In the end, there was no other way, so it's just the brothers from our Azure Wolf Hall who come to clean your room once a week after losing a game of rock-paper-scissors."
Xu Tian: "..."
It really has been hard on these people for so many years.
"Brother Yi, it's not convenient for you to live here. Haven't you thought about changing your residence?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Xu Tian roared in his heart. He would like to move, but he wasn't the real Wolf King, and he didn't even know where the Wolf King's other assets on Wuji Island were. How was he supposed to move?
"Forget it, I know you have unique tastes, so I won't try to persuade you. I've been keeping the keys for you, and today I'm returning them to their rightful owner."
Zhong Yu took out a set of keys and handed them to Xu Tian.
"It's hard to get a taxi here, and you won't be able to drive those antiques of yours for a while. I'll come pick you up tomorrow to go to headquarters together."
"Wait."
Xu Tian took the keys and pressed his hand on the steering wheel, stopping Zhong Yu from starting the car.
"I have some important things to discuss with you. Come home with me."
"Is there anything that can't be said tomorrow?"
Zhong Yu was very resistant to the haunted building before her.
"No."
Xu Tian pulled the little girl out of the sports car decisively and dragged her toward the villa.
In fact, the villa only seemed desolate because it had been uninhabited for years. In reality, the facilities inside were extremely luxurious. If one ignored the haunted house factor, it did match the Wolf King's status.
But because the villa was overly spacious—three floors totaling over a dozen rooms—plus the dense plants in the front and back yards growing wildly without professional gardeners, under Zhong Yu's influence, it really did take on a somewhat creepy atmosphere.
Once he actually walked into the villa, Xu Tian didn't have any aversion to the place, but perhaps because he felt it was unlucky, and because he wasn't the true owner of the villa, he always had a vague, ominous premonition in his heart.
