After I said that, I looked at Bai Su, thinking that Bai Su would definitely say the same.Who knew that Bai Su said: "There is nothing inexplicable about the matter. It is very clear that it must be related to the sect that Lan Si is the leader of. We are not members of the sect, so she can't say anything to us." I immediately objected: "Could it be that Hong Ling is a member of the sect again?" Bai Su frowned: "I don't really understand this point, but I think it may have something to do with Hong Ling's long-term life in Miaojiang. Miaojiang was originally the birthplace of the head-down technique—that's all I can think of. .”

I snorted, completely disapproving at the time, thinking that it was not a relationship at all.I was thinking in my heart, if Hong Ling was involved in the matter, Hong Ling would definitely tell us afterwards, so there is no need to rush to know. I really sympathize with Wen Baoyu—he obviously has no affection for Tang Dadan, but he can't avoid getting in touch with him and doing many things together. Wen Baoyu broke up with us amid repeated sighs. I know Wen Baoyu is working very hard, because the next day, Tao Qiquan and the tycoon called me separately, asking the same question: "Wen Baoyu strongly urged us to meet with a man named Tang Dadan. Familiar, what's your opinion?"

I gave the same answer: "Should go-this man named Tang Dadan has 20 billion pounds to use, and he needs to make more money in a short period of time. I believe there is a big speculative profit plan." , if you want a strong partner, you will be interested.” Although I don't understand business at all, I do know a thing or two about the psychology of businessmen--where there is profit, the businessman will go there.As the saying goes: "No one does business at a loss, and someone does business by beheading." Like flow, profit is an irresistible temptation for businessmen.

Although Tao Qiquan and the tycoon already have money that they can't spend, as long as they are businessmen, they can't resist the temptation. And I estimate that if Tang Dadan wants to use huge amounts of money to make quick money, of course he will not follow the right path, but will inevitably start in the speculative market.And the operation of the speculative market is most in line with the appetite of great adventurers and speculators—sometimes the purpose of such big speculators is not even to make money, but to win, to win in a game full of excitement. win. So I gave Tao Qiquan and Daheng such an answer, and I expected that they would be interested.

How Tao Qiquan, the tycoon and other wealthy people met, cooperated with Tang Dadan, carried out activities, etc., I have no idea at all, and I am not interested in knowing. All I know is that the results of their activities have been staggering, causing a financial storm throughout the region, bankrupting many speculative market participants, involving an uncountable number of people, including many, many fundamental People who don't know what a financial speculative market is, but want to make money in it, have sent all their hard-earned savings into the mouths of international crocodiles.

And the international predators making waves, of course, are full and full—even swallowed the bones, and did not spit them out. Although everyone who participates in speculative market activities should know that the speculative market itself is originally a place where the big fish eat the small fish. As a small fish, being eaten by the big fish is an inevitable result. It seems that the big fish should not be blamed for swallowing the small fish. The method of the fish is too cruel, but in the process of devouring, the flesh and blood fly, the corpses are scattered all over the field, the chewing sound of the predators, the screaming and laughter, and the screams of the small fish are intertwined into a ruthless symphony, even if it is completely People who are outside of the matter also feel miserable.

I have never paid attention to financial activities, nor have I linked this financial turmoil with Tang Dadan.And Tang Dadan, Tao Qiquan and other people did not show up at all, and someone else came forward. And the reason why I know who is really manipulating the storm is that someone is too complacent——Tang Dadan has never contacted me. At the most violent time, the tycoon called me and laughed loudly: "Wesley, it's a great idea for you to suggest that we cooperate with Tang Dadan. You must have seen how the wealth flowed into our pockets. It feels really good—wealth increased Dozens of times, to me, has no practical meaning, what is good is this feeling, and this feeling cannot be bought with any amount of money!"

My reaction was not to say a word, but to let out a retching sound - not artificial, but real gagging. The tycoon didn't lose his interest because of my reaction, he continued to laugh and said: "Tang Dadan is more thorough than me in pursuing this feeling. According to him, the money he makes is not his own, he only needs to make money This person is really amazing!" As for Tang Dari, as long as he "wins" and doesn't care about the money he wins, we have speculated about this mentality long ago. The words of the tycoon proved our speculation and also explained why there is a kind of people in the world who already have huge wealth but The reason why they are still working hard to pursue more wealth──What they pursue is not wealth, but a kind of psychological satisfaction.

Are they mentally flawed, so they are constantly asking to fill it up, and the process of filling it up, for them, is life? I don't have an answer, I can only say: Everyone has their own way of life──Some like the breeze and the moon, some like the feasting, and some just like to increase wealth... There are millions of different ways to list, this is Life. During this period when the whole world is paying attention to this sudden storm, I am not very concerned. What I care about is Hong Ling and Lan Si. After Hong Ling and Lan Si left, they disappeared like a yellow crane, like a stone sinking into the ocean, without a word from them.

I was quite calm. In the first three months, although I couldn't help thinking about it, it didn't go well. I believe that there will be no accidents when Hong Ling and Lan Si are together.Even if she and Lansi were to separate, the environment she was in was the same as Miao Jiang's, and for Hong Ling, it would be like a fish in water, and there would be no problem. What makes me wonder is why after they leave, there will be no information at all? And the whole thing is a mystery to me, let alone where they went, I don't even know why Lansi asked Hong Ling to help, and what role Hong Ling can play in the whole thing!

After they left, I discussed with Bai Su and Wen Baoyu, and I came to the conclusion that if Lansi kept the whole thing a secret, it must have something to do with her sect. Bai Su agreed with this speculation the most. She said: "The head-bending technique is inherently mysterious. Lansi's sect is the leader in the head-bending technique, and it is also the most mysterious. I have heard that their sect has a secret. , Only the leader of the sect has always been able to enter. From this we can see that even the sect's descendant may not be able to participate in the affairs of the sect, not to mention that we are all outsiders, if we know the secret, there may be unforeseen disasters!" I was thinking a lot when she said that. First of all, I thought of the "secret place" that Bai Su said, I have heard of it, and I also said that there is an amazing treasure in that place──It seems that this legend may not be true, if there is a treasure, Lansi asks for money, Why bother to find Tang Dadan. Secondly, I thought from Bai Su's words that Lansi kept the secret from us, maybe it was to protect us--if you know the secret of the head-bending technique school, you will be hurt by the head-bending technique.But why did Lan Si want Hong Ling to participate? Could it be that Hong Ling is not afraid of the damage of the head drop technique? I raised this question, and Bai Su's hypothesis was: as the leader, Lansi should be able to decide what to do. Bai Su's assumption is actually very forced and contradictory: Since Lansi can decide what to do, why can't she tell us the secret? Bai Su could only say: "That's her decision." Even this is not certain, and of course it is impossible to know what Lansi needs so much money for. However, since it is speculated that the matter has something to do with the sect, then Lansi and Hongling have gone to the base of the head-bending sect, and this conclusion is not wrong.Because of this, unless they contact us, even birds may not be able to fly in such a wild place, and we have no way to find them. After we know that Tang Dadan has gained a lot, it should be good news for Lansi, and we can't inform Lansi. During this period of time, of course I was not idle, there were other matters, but Bai Su and I also tried hard to contact Lansi, and the reply we got came from a senior head-down master, who said that he didn't know that the leader was there. where. The senior head-down master said something that we don't understand very well. He said: "When the leader of the church is turned on and off for a hundred years, he will go to meet the elders of the religion. The rest of the people are not allowed to ask, so no one knows the whereabouts of the leader. .” Since the word came to us through twists and turns, it is impossible to inquire further about the details. At that time, we didn't understand this passage, but we just thought it was very interesting, and we also studied it. Wen Baoyu was most interested in these words. He was used to Lansi not hearing from Lansi for several months or even longer, so he didn't worry about Hongling like Bai Su and I did. He used his imagination, waved his hands, and said: "I know What is a 'switch'──Some mysterious sects with a long history have many elders who have been hiding in secret places for long-term practice, and they will regularly open their secret practice places to meet with the congregation. Called 'Switch'." He spoke clearly and logically, and Bai Su and I just thought it was funny, and said, "You got the knowledge from the novels of gods and monsters, right? In those novels, most of them are demon cults, so there are such rituals." At that time, I didn't take Wen Baoyu's words to heart at all. I just laughed casually: "The switch is turned on and off once every 100 years—these elders want to live long!" Wen Baoyu said: "The study of the head drop technique on life is very profound, maybe they have the secret recipe for longevity!" For such a statement, I dare not completely deny it. Of course, the discussion was fruitless. What we know from these words is that during this period of time, the head-bending sect has important ceremonies that need to be attended by the leader. As a result, the whereabouts of the leader are unknown and we cannot be contacted at all. After knowing such a situation, of course, there is no other way but to wait. This time, I waited for nearly two months—five months already! Wave after wave of financial turmoil has come to an end.Tang Dadan contacted me many times and told me different numbers each time, and the numbers got bigger and bigger each time. The most recent time, the numbers were so big that I couldn't believe it. Tang Dadan was very proud: "I finally lived up to the entrustment, and I also believe that no matter what Lansi wants to do, it should be enough. She seems to be in a hurry to use the money, but she didn't come to urge her." I have been fidgeting since a few days ago, thinking that it is too unusual for Lansi and Hongling to have no news for such a long time. Wen Baoyu also began to feel uneasy. He and I both thought that Lansi had said something like "returning her life", so we can see that the matter is related to life, so could her and Hong Ling's lives be in danger? Thinking of this makes me even more anxious, because such a long time has passed, if their lives were in danger, all the terrible things would have happened long ago! The more I thought about it, the more I felt the wrong way, Wen Baoyu became more anxious, and said: "No, I have to go to them immediately!" I smiled bitterly: "Where can I find it?" Wen Baoyu said: "There is always a range." I said, "Yes, you can look for it within an area of ​​about 2,000 square kilometers! Even if there are 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to help, you don't know when you will find it." Wen Baoyu and I were in the study, and we were talking when we suddenly heard someone from downstairs interjecting: "Where can I find a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, I need them!" As soon as these two words hit my ears, they really sounded better than any other voice—that was Hong Ling's voice! Wen Baoyu and I yelled at the same time. Amidst our yelling, Hong Ling had already rushed into the study. I looked at her and saw that she had lost a lot of weight—later Bai Su said that it was my psychological effect, and her parents grew up. If you don't see your children in time, you will always think that your children have lost weight. Seeing Hong Ling standing in front of her, all the worries of the past few days were swept away, and there were too many questions she wanted to ask her, so she just looked at her and smiled for a moment, speechless. Wen Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Where is Lansi?" Hong Ling said: "Lansi went to find Tang Dadan—we have contacted Tang Dadan and know that he has a lot of achievements." Wen Baoyu was surprised and angry: "She didn't come to me first?" I was also a little angry: "You can contact Tang Dadan, why don't you contact us?" Hong Ling was taken aback for a moment, as if she hadn't thought of this question at all. At this time, Bai Su just came back from the outside, she walked into the study and said: "You have been away for so long, there is no news, it makes people anxious." Hong Ling laughed loudly: "There's nothing to worry about, Lansi and I are not children!" Bai Su and I looked at each other with wry smiles—parents care about their children, and children often think it's unnecessary. Hong Ling's attitude at this time is a typical example. Wen Baoyu asked quickly, "Where did they meet?" At this time, Hong Ling noticed that our expressions were very tense, so she didn't dare to laugh any more, and said, "It should be in Tang Dadan's office." Before Hong Ling finished speaking, Wen Baoyu rushed out with a "swish", and within three seconds, there was the sound of the door being slammed shut downstairs——Wen Baoyu naturally went to look for Lansi immediately. After Hong Ling and Lan Si left for five months, they suddenly appeared. There were so many things we had to figure out that we were in a mess for a while, and we didn't know what to do.It's good for Wen Baoyu to leave, otherwise he will be even more entangled. I took a breath and said, "Are we asking you to answer, or are you talking about it yourself?" Hong Ling also took a deep breath, with a serious expression—since I knew her, I have never seen her have such a serious expression. She said: "The matter is related to the secret of the head-bending sect. Lansi said that it must not be told to outsiders──" The matter has something to do with the secrets of the Bowhead Sect. We have speculated a long time ago. At this time, I interrupted Hong Ling and said in a loud voice: "Then why can you participate?" Although Hong Ling's answer could not be described as "bolt from the blue", it still surprised me, she said: "I am not an outsider——I joined the sect, and I am the highest-ranking person in the sect, the leader can give me special permission to participate. " I opened my mouth wide and couldn't speak, Bai Su had a strange expression for a moment, but he returned to normal immediately. Later I said to her: "You are too calm! My daughter has somehow become a head-subduing master, so you can hold your breath!" Bai Su said: "Our daughter has gained some skills, what a surprise!" I thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case, so I could only murmur to myself: "There are two head-subduing masters in a family, which is really too many." At that time, after Hong Ling said that she had joined the sect, Bai Su and I didn't make a sound. Hong Ling continued: "I haven't finished my sentence yet. Lan Si insists that she can't tell outsiders, but I insist that my parents are not outsiders." I was very moved and shouted: "Good daughter!" For parents, there is nothing more beautiful than what Hong Ling said just now! Bai Su also went to hug Hong Ling, Hong Ling continued: "So I insist on telling my parents." I said, "Your insistence is right." Hong Ling's expression was even more serious—I didn't know why she was so nervous at that time, she said: "But Lan Si told me that telling you the matter will bring you great trouble, and even cause you great trouble. Big injury, as for what kind of injury and trouble it is, she has no way of knowing. If it is light, it will continue to be troubled by various head-down techniques throughout its life; if it is heavy, it will die in unimaginable pain. This is because it should not be known. Knowing the highest secret in the sect is a punishment from the most mysterious and powerful power of the sect." When Hong Ling said this, she paused. What she said was ridiculous?No, although I have always accepted the mysterious existence of the head-down technique, I always think that it will only work if the head-down master performs it.Like what Hong Ling said just now, as long as she tells us the matter, the head lowering technique will work on us, which is really unbelievable. But Hong Ling said it so solemnly, it can be seen that at least she believes that it will be true. I can also imagine that there must have been a fierce dispute between Hong Ling and Lan Si in order to tell us the matter, which made Lan Si tell Hong Ling the seriousness of the matter, and Lan Si must have a way It made Hong Ling believe that it would indeed be true, so Hong Ling told us so seriously. She knew that she should tell us everything, but if she said it, there would be such serious consequences. Wouldn't it be harming us? Bai Su and I glanced at each other, but there was no reaction for a moment.Hong Ling took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, it's up to you to decide whether you want to listen. Before you make a decision, I can only say: This mysterious and supreme power is indeed Existence, I have no doubts that this kind of power will carry out the punishment Lansi said." After five months of separation, I increasingly noticed that Hong Ling had changed a lot. Of course, this change was related to what happened to her during these five months. This made me want to know even more what happened. Although I haven't opened my mouth yet, Hongling said again: "Lansi said that Wen Baoyu has not forgiven her, and she may have wanted to tell Wen Baoyu many times, but thinking of the serious consequences, so even if the situation between her and Wen Baoyu It's bad—it's so bad that Wen Baoyu doesn't understand her at all, so they broke up from now on, and she would rather endure the pain herself than let Wen Baoyu suffer." Hong Ling's words not only made me dazed, but also felt a chill. The relationship between Wen Baoyu and Lansi is as intense and hot as volcanic lava. It is really hard to imagine what kind of pain they will each bear if they break up. But in the current situation, just as Lansi already felt, Wen Baoyu did not understand Lansi's secrets to a certain extent. Just because Lansi kept a secret, Wen Baoyu didn't know what she was doing at all, and he couldn't forgive Lansi and Tang Dadan for dealing with each other, asking Tang Dadan to do things for her, but Tang Dadan unexpectedly agreed. It involved complicated feelings between men and women, which made Wen Baoyu's incomprehension gradually swell. Judging from the fact that just now when Wen Baoyu heard that Lansi was coming, he went to see Tang Dadan instead of him first, so he was furious and wanted to go to Lansi to make a theory immediately. At this time, in Tang Dadan's office, Wen Baoyu Baoyu and Lansi may have had a serious conflict! Under such circumstances, Lansi still refused to tell Wen Baoyu about the matter, so it can be seen that she really believed it, and knew clearly that if she told the matter, the consequences would be even more dire! Although it's hard for me to imagine anything more terrible than the two of them breaking up, Lansi obviously knows it. Knowing this situation, should we still be desperate and ask Hong Ling to tell the story? I took a breath and looked towards Bai Su.Bai Su's expression is also very hesitant---this is really difficult to decide. If it wasn't for Hong Ling's participation, we could completely ignore it. Anyway, Lansi is a super head-down master, and her actions have always been mysterious. She is capable enough to deal with everything, so don't worry about her. But now the matter is related to Hong Ling, how can we stay out of it. I thought about it quickly, and when I was about to speak, Bai Su said first: "Why did Lan Si drag you into this incident, can't you say it?" Hong Ling thought about it for a while, and then said: "Because I have developed my brain power through my mother's mother, my brain power is much, much stronger than ordinary people, and Lansi needs me to use this power. " I'm even more baffled—it's absolutely impossible to imagine what kind of connection there is between head-down surgery and brain activity. I think no matter what the consequences are, since Hong Ling participated in this matter, I should also participate. (If I don't want Hong Ling to say, can this story be established?) (Can I say that this is a mystery that I can't solve--if I can, then things are simple and the world is beautiful!) (It's a pity that even if you can pass the hurdle of being a gentleman in all directions, you can't pass this hurdle of yourself.) I have already made a decision, I said to Bai Su: "There is no need for the two of us to take such a risk at the same time──" Before I finished speaking, Bai Su immediately said: "Yes, so just let me listen to Hong Ling alone!" What I wanted to say was preempted by Bai Su, I looked at Bai Su, and Bai Su also looked at me, I shook my head at her, and she shook her head at me, Hong Ling looked at me, and then at her mother, with an expression Very puzzled. Bai Su and I looked at each other for about a minute, and we both laughed at the same time—from smiling to laughing. We are connected with each other. At the beginning, we both thought that if there is a terrible result, we will bear it by ourselves, but after we each insisted on it for a minute, we thought of the promise of "shared difficulties and shared prosperity" at the same time, and felt that we should bear it. It's ridiculous to bear the consequences alone, so while smiling, he said to Hong Ling: "Say it!" After all, Hong Ling has a bright personality, she has explained everything clearly, and we have made a decision, she respects our decision and will never be a mother. She nodded, and I went over to grab two bottles of wine, one for her and one for myself.Hong Ling drank half of the bottle in one breath, wiped her mouth, and began to talk about what happened after she and Lan Si left. On the plane, Lan Si said to Hong Ling: "I want to use your abnormal brain power... to carry out some things, and during the process, there may be completely unexpected things happening... What will happen, I don't know, it is likely to cause a lot of damage, so if you don't want to, I will never force it." As soon as Lan Si came up, she spoke very seriously. Hong Ling had never faced such a decision in her life. Although her brain has been "developed", the knowledge of her brain memory has been enriched to an unimaginable level, but it does not include the ability to make such a decision quickly. However, Hong Ling made a decision right away—it was due to her personality, and had nothing to do with her rich knowledge. She immediately said: "What's the problem? Of course there is no problem." After Lansi got a response immediately, she looked very excited, and she said again: "It's about the secret of the sect of the head-down technique, so you must also become a member of the sect." Hong Ling only thought it was interesting: "Okay - is there any special initiation ceremony?" Lan Si said: "It depends on whether you are accepted or not." Hong Ling felt very strange: "You are the leader, can't you still decide? Who should decide?" Lansi's answer was very simple, she said: "Elder." At that time, Hong Ling had no idea what an "elder" was.When Bai Su and I heard Hong Ling's narration up to this point, we only had a very vague understanding of the "elder". We only knew that he was a very mysterious figure in the head-bending sect. once or something.However, we can know that "elders" are very important in the sect and in the whole thing. So we listened very carefully to Hong Ling's next narration, and we knew that Hong Ling's words had made us understand the sect's secret, that is to say, the unpredictable consequences of Lan Si's warning would come to us at any time. On us!
