Chapter 1459: At the Hour of the Rat Tonight, We Shall Meet

Xuan Fengnian was indeed observing Mai Chengxing and Mike in the dark.

However, just as Ye Chen had speculated, he did not enter Bai Jinhangong directly, but chose to keep watch in the dark outside Bai Jinhangong.

This was mainly because Bai Jinhangong was crowded and had a very perfect monitoring system. If there was no help, the possibility of completely hiding from the monitoring was almost zero.

Xuan Fengnian felt that with his own skills, he could strictly monitor everyone entering and leaving the hotel outside Bai Jinhangong. As long as Mai Chengxing and his grandson left, he could follow them all the way.

Xuan Fengnian did not trust Mai Chengxing. On one hand, he was worried that Mai Chengxing would be passive and not help him find the mysterious person properly, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Mai Chengxing would steal his credit.

After all, in his view, this old guy Mai Chengxing was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

So the best solution was to keep a close eye on Mai Chengxing in the dark. If this old guy dared to play any tricks behind his back, he would solve him first.

However, Xuan Fengnian did not know that Mai Chengxing had already turned against him at this time.

After leaving Mike at Bai Jinhangong, Mai Chengxing followed Ye Chen's instructions, left Bai Jinhangong alone, and headed to the Du family's old house.

Xuan Fengnian was very puzzled, not knowing why Mike did not go with him, but thinking that a young man like Mike couldn't have any real skills, he was not afraid of Mai Chengxing playing any tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Thus, he drove a rented Volkswagen sedan and followed all the way.

Mai Chengxing pretended to stay by the Du family's old house for half a day, took out a compass and talisman paper to fiddle around, then pretended to have gained something, hailed a taxi, first went to the Zijin Mountain Tunnel where the incident happened, and then returned to the city to search around before finally returning to Bai Jinhangong Hotel.

Xuan Fengnian followed all the way, followed Mai Chengxing to the Du family's old house, then to the Zijin Mountain Tunnel, and followed him around Jin Ling for a big circle, becoming more and more certain that this old guy must have found some clues.

Thus, after Mai Chengxing returned to the hotel, he called Mai Chengxing. On the phone, he pretended to be concerned and asked: "Old Mr. Mai, I wonder if there is any progress in the matter?"

Mai Chengxing was originally planning to call Xuan Fengnian, but didn't expect the other party to call first, so he followed Ye Chen's instructions and said: "Master Xuan, this old man ran around outside for a big circle, and just returned to the hotel when your call came."

Xuan Fengnian asked with a smile: "Oh, with Old Mr. Mai taking action, I believe there must be progress in this matter. I wonder what the result is?"

Mai Chengxing said: "To tell you the truth, there has indeed been a major breakthrough in the matter."

Xuan Fengnian hurriedly asked: "What exactly is the breakthrough? Has it been pinpointed to a person?"

Mai Chengxing said somewhat embarrassedly: "This... Master Xuan, please forgive this old man for not being able to speak clearly on the phone..."

Xuan Fengnian said somewhat unhappily: "What is there to be embarrassed about? You just tell me the clues, and I will find that person and kill him. In this way, both you and I can report back to Old Master Su."

Mai Chengxing gave a dry laugh and said: "Master Xuan, I will just say it straight. I can tell you the clues, but I have a small condition personally..."

Xuan Fengnian's tone suddenly turned cold, and he questioned: "What? You have some clues now, and you want to negotiate terms with me? Old Mr. Mai, don't forget, finding that mysterious person is your duty! And killing that mysterious person is my duty. You are doing your duty, and you still want to negotiate terms with me?"

Mai Chengxing gave a dry laugh and said: "Master Xuan, as the saying goes, if a man is not for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. I ran all the way to China, nothing more than to make some money. After all, I haven't done such harmful things before, and I might feel uneasy in my conscience in the future, so I have to make more money to compensate myself."

As he spoke, Mai Chengxing added: "I have brought Mike to China for several days, and I have been searching for various possible clues everywhere before, and it has indeed been quite hard work."

Speaking of this, Mai Chengxing changed the subject and said: "However, Master Xuan, you have just arrived in Jin Ling. If I give you the clues today, maybe you will kill that person tonight, and then you can pat your butt and take the money and leave. By comparison, the money I make is indeed much harder than Master Xuan's!"

Xuan Fengnian asked coldly: "Old Mr. Mai, listening to what you mean, it seems like you want to share some money from me?"

Mai Chengxing smiled and said: "Oh, Master Xuan, I don't have that meaning. I just want to meet you and have a chat, and see how much you got from the Su family alone, and how much we two got from the Su family."

"Then combined with the time we came to Jin Ling and the time you came to Jin Ling, let's calculate an amount that is relatively fair and proper for the three of us."

"If we grandfather and grandson got more, then we will take out the extra part to compensate you, Master Xuan."

"But if you got more, Master Xuan, then I will have to trouble you to compensate us for the extra part."

Hearing this, Xuan Fengnian was furious.

He secretly thought: "This old thing is really shameless. He wants to calculate money with me by head count and by time at this time. Is the old thing wanting money but not his life?"

However, he did not explode on the phone directly, because he knew very well that it was not difficult for him to kill Mai Chengxing and his grandson, but the difficulty was that after he killed them, he might not be able to find that person.

So, he still had to find a way to get the clues out of his mouth!

Thus, he questioned coldly: "Old Mr. Mai, since you want to meet and have a chat, let's set a time and a place."

Mai Chengxing hurriedly said: "Master Xuan, just come to Bai Jinhangong directly. I booked a suite here, and the environment is good."

Xuan Fengnian refused: "The place I hate most is a hotel. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sleeping in the open since I came to Jin Ling. Why don't we just meet at the Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery."

"Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery?" Mai Chengxing blurted out: "Your gu worm ate the brain of that security guard. Now there are rumors that he was eaten by a ghost, making people panic. I am afraid that the relevant departments are also watching there. If we go there to meet, I am afraid it is not appropriate, right?"

Xuan Fengnian said indifferently: "To tell you the truth, I slept at Fenghuang Mountain last night. Don't say, the scenery here is really good, and there is no one to disturb. When the police came to investigate the body in the morning, I also joined in the fun and took a look. Now that people are panicking, the security guards here don't dare to work the night shift. If we talk about things here at night, we don't have to worry about walls having ears."

Mai Chengxing thought for a moment, but still said with some worry: "Master Xuan, that Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery is really remote. Why don't we change to a closer place!"

Xuan Fengnian said coldly: "If you give me the clues happily now, we don't even need to meet. But if you want me to take a part of the profit from my pocket and give it to you, then I am sorry, you have to follow my requirements!"

Hearing this, Mai Chengxing went with the flow and said: "Good! Since that's the case, then see you at Fenghuang Mountain tonight!"

Xuan Fengnian smiled: "At the Hour of the Rat tonight, we shall meet." ===== CHAPTER 1460 =====

Xuan Fengnian smiled and said, "Midnight tonight, be there or be square."
