Boss Bai clearly wants me to confess my last words! I tried my best to calm myself down, and said, "I have a cousin who was studying in the United States, and came back from vacation, but sent someone to kidnap her for your son, and pray for your son, to release her!" As soon as I said this, Boss Bai's complexion couldn't help changing slightly, two stern gazes immediately swept towards Bai Qiwei, Bai Qiwei thought he was panicked, and said, "I've let her go already!" I also know that Honghong was released by them long ago.And the reason why I want to make this request to Boss Bai is because Qi Wei said this sentence in a hurry!

As soon as I heard what he said, I was secretly happy.Said: "Boss Bai, my cousin doesn't know martial arts at all, she's just a student, I hope you don't make things difficult for her!" At this time, Boss Bai's complexion.The iron was like green, and among the crowd, there was also a voice of whispering.I know that, at least in this matter, the sympathy of everyone is on my side.After a while, I only heard Bai Laodao: "Qiwei, Miss, if there is anything wrong, I will kill you!" Bai Qiwei's attitude was extremely embarrassing! At this moment, he must feel extremely regretful for the slip of the tongue just now!Because, if he denies it outright, I have absolutely no evidence, and I can say that it is their business.

And the reason why I said that he hasn't let people go, and not accuse him of abducting people, is also for this reason, because if I accuse him of abducting people, his subconscious reaction is to deny it.Now, when I accuse him of not releasing him, his subconscious reaction is still to deny, but if he denies not releasing him, it is tantamount to admitting that he has kidnapped someone! At that moment, Bai Qiwei lowered his head and said "yes". Boss Bai turned around and said: "Brother Wei, this matter is indeed the fault of the little dog, and I will definitely punish him severely. But you still cannot leave this place!"

I let out a long laugh, and said, "Boss Bai, since I broke in, I naturally took the risk and died without injustice, but I have to finish my sentence!" Boss Bai nodded and said, "What do you say .” I said: "It all started because Yu Treasurer once came to me, but I didn't agree to him!" He died a terrible death, and he must have been severely tortured before he died!" Boss Bai was taken aback, and said, "There is no such thing, he died of poisoning." I smiled, and said, "Poisoned? The detailed record of the death is not something I can fabricate out of thin air, but I believe that someone must have tried to tell him the location of the treasure in an extremely cruel way!"

Boss Bai was silent, someone shouted: "Boss Bai, why are you still listening to his nonsense?" I immediately said again: "Also, a friend of mine who doesn't know martial arts at all was also seriously injured! " Boss Bai turned his head and glanced at Bai Qiwei, but he still didn't speak. I briefly explained everything again, but kept my relationship with Qin Zhengqi hidden.Boss Bai nodded slowly, and said, "Brother Wei, I understand, you are indeed a hero." When I heard this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. But Boss Bai immediately said again: "However, the secret of the seven gangs and eighteen associations must never be out of the way. The reason is that you are a man..." When he said this, he shook his hand, and the crystal light flashed. It was a seven-inch long dagger with a dazzling cold light.

There was a shock in my heart, Boss Bai had already handed the dagger handle to me, and said, "Catch it!" I reached out my hand in a daze, and took it. Bai Laodao: "My subordinates do not kill heroes, so you can use this dagger to kill yourself. This is the relic of the big brother of the Shanghai Small Knife Society. If you use it to commit suicide, it will not humiliate you!" I held the dagger, and my hand couldn't help shaking slightly. In my life, I don’t know how many life-and-death events I have experienced, but in every moment of life and death, it is decided in an instant. When I think about it afterwards, I can’t help sweating. At that time, I ignored life and death, Feel nothing.

Like now, he wanted to kill himself with a dagger, and it was still forced by others, but it was the first time he had experienced it! Boss Bai sighed and said, "Brother Wei, you don't have to hesitate, even if I let you go, the other brothers will definitely not agree, you can ask, as long as there is a brother who says you can go, I will let you go." Send you out of here immediately!" I raised my head and looked at the crowd. Everyone stood motionless as if they were carved out of stone. There were a few people with smug expressions on their faces, a few people with indifferent expressions on their faces, and a few people whose faces seemed to be very sympathetic to me, but none of them moved or made a sound. !

I forced a smile and said: "Boss Bai, no matter what, I still admire you very much for your character. Your son's behavior is so unbearable. I pray that you will not show favoritism, so that it will be difficult for me to rest in peace after I die!" Bai Laodao: "You can rest assured about this matter!" I lowered my head and looked at the extremely sharp dagger.It didn't take long for me to look at it, and with a twist of my heart, I flipped my wrist, and stabbed my heart with a dagger!At that time, I really knew that I would die, because there was absolutely no possibility of escaping!However, the moment I turned my wrist up, my eyes suddenly went dark, and I couldn't see my fingers!

Although the accident happened suddenly, I almost didn't even get startled, so I jumped to the side! And when I jumped away, I felt a strong wind blowing by my side, it was of course the palm of Boss Bai! Immediately after I jumped away, I stood still.Because in the pitch-black situation, it is impossible for Boss Bai to know where I am. I have to use this opportunity to escape. I don’t even know how many opportunities I can take advantage of, whether it is a few seconds or a few minutes. ! In the darkness, I could only hear Boss Bai's voice saying: "No one should move!" I just wanted to shrink down and hide under the table, but when I heard what Boss Bai said, I didn't dare to move again.

Because at this time, everyone listened to Boss Bai's orders and did not dare to move. As long as I move, even Boss Bai can't see me in the dark, but in terms of Boss Bai's attainments in Chinese martial arts , no matter how careful I am, he will definitely hear a sound, and he will definitely be able to attack me! During those few seconds of incomparable silence, I experienced an anxiety that I had never experienced in my life. I was already sweating profusely, and I heard Boss Bai say again: "Brother Wei, I didn't expect you to be here. We have an internal response here!" Boss Bai's voice sounded even more solemn in the dark, and I held my breath and dared not speak out.

Boss Bai said that I have an internal response here, but he was wrong! How the electric lights here would suddenly go out is also inexplicable in my heart! As soon as Boss Bai's words came out of his mouth, suddenly in the darkness, the voice of "my" sounded from a distance of two feet away from me! It was indeed my voice, and even I couldn't tell the difference between that voice and what came out of my mouth. The strangeness in my heart at that time was really indescribable!Because I am clearly standing here, how can my voice be heard two feet away?Only "my" voice said: "Boss Bai, you guessed wrong, I have no internal response..." The "my" voice had just reached this point, when Boss Bai suddenly heard a "hum", followed by a "boom", and the sound of "ping-pong" was endless! In that instant, I understood! There must be a person who is very good at imitating other people's voices, imitating my voice, and speaking in another corner. His purpose is to divert the attention of Boss Bai and everyone else, so as to give me a chance to escape!In the darkness, I had no way of knowing who it was. With a feeling of extreme gratitude to this unknown benefactor, according to my memory, my figure flashed to the door. Because Boss Bai followed the sound with his palms, he was already very confused, and no one noticed my movement, so I immediately opened the door and stepped out. As soon as I went out, I heard someone shout: "Wesley is gone!" I leaned against the door, took a breath, looked around, and found that I had already come to the back of a sofa. Volt. At this moment, I heard "my" voice in the room calling again: "Here is the surname Wei!" Enter, press the button, and the elevator door closes automatically.Before the doorman of the elevator was closed, Boss Bai roared, "What a beast!" I don't know what Boss Bai's scolding meant.In fact, it is impossible for me to find out what the meaning of Boss Bai's angry scolding is, because as soon as the elevator door is closed, it has already gone up and up. Not long after, the elevator stopped and the door opened, and I stepped out immediately, only to see two middle-aged men guarding the side of the elevator, and said, "Hey, Brother Qin, are you going to part?" I said: "Not yet, but I have something to do, let's go first." The two middle-aged people said: "Is there an order from Boss Bai?" I took a step forward and said, "Yes!" The two middle-aged men stretched out their hands and said, "Bring it!" When the young people backed away immediately, I had already seized their veins!The expressions of the two middle-aged men changed, and they said, "Brother Qin, what... do you mean?" I looked forward and saw the dark sea outside the window, and I immediately said, "I'm sorry, temporarily I will wrong you!" The two middle-aged men said sharply, "You will never escape from this island!" I moved my hands to my arms, pulled the two middle-aged men into my arms, and took a step. I grabbed the wrists of the two of them, and there was really no room for struggle. After being pulled out by me, the two of them fell, and with a "bang", their heads collided with each other, and they immediately passed out! I didn't delay any longer, loosened my hands, and fled outwards, and immediately flied out of the window and rolled on the spot, rolling two or three feet away.I ran towards the edge of the beach and ran out, and when I came to the beach, I couldn't help being stunned! On the seashore, the water is vast, reflecting the faint light of the stars and the moon, and there are no boats. If I don’t leave this deserted island, it can be said that I will definitely die. Since there are no boats, I can only try swimming! I stayed there for a moment, then I jumped up from a rock into the sea. With a "plop", I fell into the sea and immediately floated up again.At this time, I saw a flashlight flashing in a hole by the sea, and at the same time.A middle-aged woman's voice was heard shouting: "Is it Mr. Wei? Come here, swim outside, you can't escape!" Floating in the water, I looked up and saw a figure flickering on the shore. Now, I have to face a choice, should I listen to the middle-aged woman and swim to her, or swim forward? Swim forward, and there is a vast sea in front of me. Even if I can escape the pursuit of Boss Bai and others, whether I can swim to land is still doubtful. The voice of the middle-aged woman may be tempting me to go, but there are also Maybe, it was the one who really came to save me from danger. I just thought about it for a very short time. I thought of the electric lights in the meeting place, which suddenly went out, and someone imitated my voice, diverting the attention of Boss Bai, so that I could escape to the seaside. We know that there must be someone who sympathizes with me. people are here!So I immediately swam to where the flashlight was shining. When I got close to the hole, I could already hear the sound of several people jumping into the water!I climbed up the cave, only to hear the middle-aged woman's voice in the darkness, saying: "Come in quickly! Come in quickly!" I walked forward and said: "Who are you?" The middle-aged woman said: "Shut up!" The flashlight in her hand kept flickering, leading me to walk forward. I tried my best to distinguish her appearance, but I could only see her back. She was wearing a black shirt and trousers. His stature is stooped, and he looks older than I imagined.About ten meters forward, the middle-aged woman stopped and said: "You are here, don't make a sound, let alone go out, I will come to see you again." I whispered: "Who are you? Let me thank you for saving your life!" The middle-aged woman said: "I am not the one who saved you, why should you thank me? I was just following orders!" She As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately went outside. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.After a long time, I can already discern where I am in the dark, it is a small cave. In the corner of the cave, there was a bed, but there was only a bed board. I sat down on the edge of the bed and found that beside the bed, there were many children's toys like dolls. I really didn't know where they were. I waited for about an hour, but nothing happened, so I took off my wet clothes, wrung them out, and put them on again. Of course, it made me extremely uncomfortable, but under such circumstances, as long as I can leave safely , is already a blessing! I lay down on that bed with my arm as a pillow. I found the bed to be short enough for children only, not long enough for any adult.I suddenly thought of the three dwarves of the magic whip, only they would want such a small bed.Could it be that they saved me?I immediately overturned my own thoughts. Because Shenbian Sanshou is just born short, like a child, but they are already dozens of years old.There will never be any childlike innocence playing with dolls again. This place, it seems, was once a secret place as a child. I myself, in my childhood, had a secret place that only I knew. Whenever I don't want to see anyone, I stay in this secret place alone for a long time. So, now, is it a child who saved me? This seems even more incredible!I kept thinking in my heart, although I was very tired, but I didn't feel sleepy. Because although I temporarily escaped from Boss Bai and others' pursuit, I am still on a deserted island. Will they never find my trace, and can I leave here safely? I thought for a long time and looked at my watch. It was already four o'clock in the morning. At this time, I heard footsteps coming in, and I became nervous.It was almost as if he was only on that bed, motionless.After a while, the sound of footsteps has come to the front. When I was about to ask a question, the man had already opened his mouth and said, "Didn't they find this place?" When I heard that it was the voice of the middle-aged woman, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No one has been here." The middle-aged woman said: "Come with me, I have already prepared a speedboat for you!" I was stunned for a while, and said: "Who did you order to save me?" When the middle-aged woman asked the question, she suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "No need to say it!" I could hear her voice was full of sadness, and I couldn't help but feel even more surprised. , I reached out, grabbed the flashlight in her hand, and turned it on. The light of the torch.Straight to the top of the cave, I can already see the other party clearly, about sixty years old, with tears on his face, crying. I immediately said: "Ma'am, what is it for?" The middle-aged woman shook her head silently, and said: "Stop talking!" She stretched out her hand, turned off the flashlight, and said, "Come with me!" She said as she walked out.I had no choice but to follow her and came to the opening of the cave. Looking down, I saw a speedboat moored beside the cave.I glanced at the speedboat, turned my head again, and said, "Ma'am, you must tell me who saved me, and I want to thank him!" The middle-aged woman sighed again and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to thank her anymore!" I was taken aback.Said: "Why?" The middle-aged woman shed tears again, and said: "She asked me... are you out of danger, alas, she has reached such a point herself, but she still misses you!" I anxiously held her hand and said, "Who, who are you talking about?" The middle-aged woman raised her head, looked at me for a while, and said: "If you can't think of who is saving you, then it's really in vain for her to save you!" Di lost his voice: "Could it be... Could it be her?" The middle-aged women looked at me without making a sound, I added, "It's Bai Su, Miss Bai?" Just now when I was thinking about who saved me, I suddenly remembered that my hiding place, since it is a child’s secret place, the children who grew up on this desert island, except for Bai Qiwei and Bai Su Besides, who else? And the one who saved me was of course not Bai Qiwei, so it goes without saying that it must be Bai Su! Seeing the middle-aged woman, she nodded. I didn't know what it was like in my heart, so I hurriedly said, "So, how is she doing now?" The middle-aged woman said: "You...don't ask, just go!" I said anxiously: "No, you must tell me! How is she doing now?" The middle-aged woman cried even more bitterly, and said: "Poor child, I have watched her grow up since I was a child, and now... I am afraid that she will leave this world before me!" As soon as I heard her say this When the words came out, I couldn't help being dumbfounded like a thunderclap! The middle-aged woman wiped away her tears and said, "Go quickly, don't let her down!" I thought for a while and said, "I can't leave. She put her life in danger to save me. If I leave, who am I? Take me to see her!" The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei, what are you talking about?" When I found out that it was Bai Su who rescued me from such a dangerous situation, my excitement was beyond words!It's not that I don't know, if I don't take this opportunity to leave, I may never have the opportunity to leave this deserted island!However, Bai Su's life is dying, how can I not go and see her? I am not an impulsive person, but I am a very emotional person. My decision cannot be changed!Immediately I said: "Don't worry, Miss Bai didn't save the wrong person. No matter what, I must go to see her, I must go!" The middle-aged woman stayed silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Wei, if Miss sees you, she will hate me forever." I said: "I can explain to her that it's none of your business !" As I said that, I turned around and headed towards the island again! I only heard the middle-aged woman let out a long sigh, and I saw three short figures in front of me, flashing towards them, and shouted: "Who are they?" I immediately stood up and said: "Wesley! "The three people who came here are naturally the Three Shorts of the Whip Whip. When they heard my name, they couldn't help being stunned!" Seeing that Shenbian Sanxiao was hesitating, I immediately said: "Take me to see Boss Bai!" The three god whips said in unison: "What kind of tricks are you playing?" I sneered and said: "I was able to leave in peace, but now I am thrown into a trap again, what tricks are there, take me there quickly! " Shenbian Sanxiao said: "Please go ahead." At that time, apart from wanting to see Bai Su, I really had no other wish in my heart, and I didn't have the mind to think of the word "fear" at all. As soon as I heard God Whip Three Dwarves call me Gui to go ahead, I immediately strode forward with my head held high. Only two or three zhang away, there are more and more people approaching in front of me, and they all have surprised expressions on their faces when they see me, I don't even look at them, I just walk forward Go, after a while, I have already entered the cave, and before the elevator, when the elevator came up, Shenbian Sanxiao and I walked in together. As soon as I entered the elevator, there were three short magic whips, each standing at a corner of the elevator, keeping my guard up. I glanced at them and said, "Don't worry, I will never fight with you!" The three of them looked at each other and said, "We only thought you had escaped, but unexpectedly you came back by yourself." My heart moved, and I said: "How do you know that I have escaped?" Shenbian Sanhou said: "Miss Bai said, she said that she has made arrangements, and you have already left here!" I felt sad for a while, and said: "Now, how is she...?" The god whip three short, a look of sadness flashed across their faces, and then they each gave me a vicious look, and said loudly: "You still don't know what to do?" Do you have the nerve to ask her?" I know that Bai Suping is extremely popular, and these people must hate me when they see me! I didn't make a sound anymore, and after a while, the elevator door opened, and Shenbian Sanxiao hugged me out of the elevator. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw the lobby. I saw the leaders of the seven gangs and eighteen associations, except for the boss Bai, all of them were there, but everyone was silent, with a heavy face, and sat silently. When they saw me coming in , Everyone looked at me, a few of them stood up suddenly, and the magic whip took a step forward.Said: "He wants to see Boss Bai, let's talk about it when Boss Bai comes!" I walked forward proudly, and sat down on a sofa, only to hear someone say: "This kid, if you don't kill him, it's hard for us to hate him!" Although the man's voice was not high-pitched, his meaning was extremely firm.At this time, I have completely disregarded life and death, and I don't feel any fear at all after hearing it. Shenbian Sanxiao left, and after a while, he heard the sound of very heavy footsteps. I immediately turned my head and saw Boss Bai with his hands behind his back, his face ashen, walking towards me step by step, I waited for him to come close, and stood up. At this time, the hall was extremely quiet. Boss Bai came two or three steps in front of me, and Fang Shi stopped. I broke up with him only for one night, and now, his face is ashen and majestic, but I also saw his eyes are swollen, and after this night, he looks old again!He looked at me, and I looked at him, for a while.He sat down and said, "Sit down too!" I sat down as I said, and someone called out, "Boss Bai, what are you waiting for?" Boss Bai waved his hand. I paused, and said: "Boss Bai..." But I only yelled, but Boss Bai coughed and interrupted me, saying: "Qiwei may have colluded with drug dealers, I have detained him You know that you cannot escape, but you come back here, so you are a man, so hand over the twenty-one steel plates!" As soon as I heard what Boss Bai said, I couldn't help being stunned. But I didn't immediately defend myself. I just let out a long laugh and said, "Bai Boss, you thought I came back because I couldn't escape. You were wrong. If I don't come back, you will never find me!" Boss Bai said in a deep voice, "Then why are you coming back?" I sighed and said, "Boss Bai, when I was about to escape from the desert island, I found out that it was Qianyuan who saved me. I... wanted to see her, that's why I came back!" Boss Bai raised his head upwards and remained silent for a while. I saw his eyes seemed to be very moist. After a while, he didn't lower his head and said, "What do you want to see her for?" I forced a smile and said: "I heard that she was injured because of me, it is really difficult to leave and abandon her, so I must come back to see her!" When I said those few words, because I was excited, I spoke extremely impassioned. Originally, all the people in the hall looking at me had angry looks on their faces, but after I uttered these few words, most of them were already moved and changed into expressions of admiration. To be honest, when I really could escape, I didn't leave the dangerous place, but when I threw myself into the trap, I never thought that my behavior would change the public's impression of me. I just wanted to meet Bai Su, it was an extremely strong impulse, which made me desperate!Boss Bai stayed for a while, then lowered his head, and said, "I think you don't have to go see her. She thought you had escaped, so although she was seriously injured, she was still very happy. But if she knows you When I never left here, my heart was sad." I was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is...is she seriously injured?" Boss Bai nodded with a "huh" and said: "When she made a sound, I followed the sound and slapped four times. Her leg and arm were broken, and two ribs were broken, and her internal organs were also injured!" He said anxiously: "She was injured so badly, why don't you send her to the hospital?" Bai Laodao: "That's not necessary, I have the best surgeons and surgeons here, and I'm even better at bone setting." I sighed and said, "I know she's fine, and I feel relieved. She might be sad when she sees me, but is it okay to just let me see her?" Boss Bai thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, Brother Song, you can take friend Wei." Song Jian from the Flying Tiger Gang agreed, then stood up, led me, and walked out through a door. As soon as I walked out the door, I heard the noise of people in the hall.I think everyone is discussing how to deal with me. We passed a corridor and came to a door, only to see the middle-aged woman who told me to enter the cave and told me to run away just happened to come out of the door.She glanced at me, and Song Jian said: "Ma'am, boss, let this brother see Miss." The middle-aged woman sighed, and pushed the door an inch. I looked in through the crack of the door and saw that it was a very neat room with a bed in the middle.Bai Su is lying down. Bai Su's right hand and right foot are all covered with bandages, and his chest is also swollen, probably already covered with a plaster cast. Sitting beside the bed are two old men who seem to be doctors. Bai Su's star eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and she lay on the bed, as if she was dead.The more I looked at it, the sadder I felt, and I couldn't help but open the door, and followed in one step! However, Song Jian immediately followed in, stretched out his hand, pulled me a step away, closed the door, and said, "Brother Wei, if you really appreciate her kindness, you really shouldn't see her at this time!" I sighed, only heard a faint voice from the room, and said: "Outside...... who is talking, is it Uncle Song?" Song Jian hurriedly said: "It's me." Bai Su said again: "Uncle Song ,What's up?" Song Jian hastily gave me a wink, and I understood, and stepped back, Song Jian opened the door, walked in, opened the door deliberately, and said, "Brothers, ask me to take a look at your injuries." " I quietly looked in through the crack of the door, only to see Bai Su's eyes opened slightly, with no expression in his eyes, and said: "I... feel much better, but he... has escaped Already?" Song Jian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes." Seeing that Bai Su was still obsessed with my safety at such a critical moment, my heart felt sour and I couldn't help but shed tears. I really wanted to rush in immediately and prostrate myself in front of her bed, but I knew that once I went in, Bai Su saw that she had tried so hard and I still couldn't escape. , Forging an irreparable hatred!Only Bai Su said: "Uncle Song, don't lie to me!" Song Jian turned around and faced me. I saw his expression, which was very painful.Of course, he is a well-known hero, and he will never tell half a lie, but at this time he has no choice but to lie, only to hear him say: "Don't worry, he is already safe!" Bai Su let out a long sigh, and said, "Uncle Song, what are you going to do to him?" Song Jian remained silent, and Bai Su said again: "Uncle Song, you love me the most, maybe you promise me something?" Song Jian said, "What's the matter?" The two old men frowned and said, "Stop talking!" Bai Su said: "No, let me finish this sentence... Uncle Song, you may try to inform him and tell him to go away immediately!" Song Jian stayed for a long time before saying: "I will definitely do my best." Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes again. One doctor immediately pressed her pulse, and the other waved Song Jian out. Song Jian backed out quietly and walked forward without saying a word. I followed behind him, and when we were about to enter the hall, he stopped suddenly, reached out and patted my shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wei, it's a pity that we met too late, and it's like this again We met on occasion." I said, "Brother Song, I have admired you for a long time." Song Jian said: "Brother Wei, as long as you hand over the twenty-one steel plates, together with Qin Zhengqi's piece, I will guarantee with my life that you will not fight against the seven gangs and eighteen associations again, and I will guarantee you to leave here safely. !" I am extremely grateful to Song Jian in my heart!Just imagine, Song Jian and I have only known each other for half a day. He just saw some of my strengths based on the fact that I came back voluntarily. friendship!But at the same time, I couldn't help being surprised! I hurriedly said, "Brother Song, are the twenty-one steel plates on the table missing?" Song Jian's face darkened, and he said, "Brother Wei, you are looking down on me for asking the law like this!" I said: "Brother Song, since you dare to guarantee with your life that I will not fight against the Seventh Gang and Eighteenth Society, you should believe that I never took those twenty-one steel plates away!" On Song Jian's face, there was a slight expression of disbelief. But his expression of disbelief was fleeting, and he immediately became very resolute, saying: "Okay!"
