Chapter 106 That old schemer, we're enough. Let's find an opportunity to take him down.
Guesthouse room.
The old Taoist priest ran back in one breath and locked the door.
"We've really run into a big spender; they're giving away ten thousand right off the bat."
The old Taoist priest looked at his account balance and couldn't wait to make a phone call.
"Why are you calling me again?" came an impatient voice.
"Oh, my old man, Dad..."
"Who's your son? You've got the wrong number."
The old Taoist priest quickly replied, "I have money. I just made money, a full ten thousand yuan."
"Ten thousand yuan? Dad, your grandson's tuition fees are still unpaid." The impatient voice suddenly turned kind.
The old Taoist priest's eyes reddened, and he wiped his eyes, saying, "I'll transfer it all to you."
He felt in his pocket; he still had a few hundred yuan left, enough for him to eat.
"Dad, we're not well off at home, I'm sorry to have to make things difficult for you, but ten thousand yuan isn't enough, I just broke my leg the day before yesterday..."
"You broke your leg? How serious is it? What did the doctor say?" The old Taoist priest wiped away his tears.
"The doctor said it will cost 300,000 yuan, plus follow-up treatment. Dad, you need to earn more."
"Three hundred thousand? That's a lot!" The old Taoist priest panicked. Earning ten thousand yuan today was like finding a really fat sheep.
Normally, let alone a few hundred yuan, sometimes we don't earn a single cent. But if we make tens or hundreds of yuan a day, business is good.
"Dad, didn't you just earn ten thousand? Go earn some more."
"Dashan, you don't know, your dad was just lucky. He met a benefactor today. He made up a couple of sentences, and the person took pity on him and gave him 10,000 yuan."
"He feels sorry for you, so keep looking for him. This kind of rich person must have dirty money. He's done something wrong and now he wants to do good deeds."
"Aren't you good with words? Plus, you're getting on in years, he'll definitely keep giving you money. If you keep this fat sheep hooked, my leg will heal."
"Dashan, things haven't been peaceful in Wudang Mountain lately, that's why I was able to deceive people and keep them away from this troublesome place. Ten thousand is already considered lucky, how could it be..."
"Dad, I'll bring you back home as soon as my leg heals, and I'll take care of you in your old age."
"But……"
"You old bastard, if you don't give me 300,000, don't even think about coming back, don't even think about seeing your grandson, and nobody will even collect your corpse if you die out there!"
"Dashan, I..."
Doodle
Seeing the busy signal on his phone, the old Taoist priest could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
咚咚
The door opened, the crying stopped abruptly, and the old Taoist priest quickly wiped his eyes, composed himself, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Who is it?"
"Old Taoist priest, this is the person who just came to you for fortune telling," Gu Xiaojiao's voice rang out.
The old Taoist priest's face changed drastically, filled with terror: "No, didn't we tell you to leave?"
"Your calculations are incredibly accurate. I have two friends who would like you to calculate their fortunes as well," Gu Xiaojiao said.
"Old Taoist..."
The old Taoist priest opened his mouth, intending to refuse, but remembering his son's words, he immediately changed his mind: "Wait a moment, I'll come out after I've tidied up."
Three hundred thousand!
If he earns 300,000 yuan, Da Shan's legs will be saved, and he can go home to retire.
Sorry, you wealthy people!
"Okay, we'll wait for you outside," Gu Xiaojiao said.
Five minutes later.
The old Taoist priest calmed himself down, opened the door, and already exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.
"Master, my friend is at the Qingyun Hotel. Come with us, and we promise you won't have made a wasted trip."
Gu Xiaojiao smiled and took out a wad of cash: "I'll give you five thousand first. If my friend is satisfied, I'll give you another five thousand."
"May the Heavenly Venerable grant me boundless blessings. My karmic connection with these lay practitioners is not yet over, so I shall make a trip there," the old Taoist priest said with a smile.
Qingyun Hotel?
That's a famous hotel. Those who can stay there are either young people who spend money extravagantly, or those whose expenses are reimbursed by their employers, or those who are truly wealthy.
What a stroke of luck!
After going downstairs, the old Taoist priest froze upon seeing the vehicles below: "Police vehicles?"
"Let's go." Gu Xiaojiao walked straight to the driver's seat.
Gu Bai opened the passenger door: "Would you like to sit in the front or the back, Daoist Master?"
"The money was given to me voluntarily, not by me. You can't arrest this old Taoist priest." The old Taoist priest's legs trembled.
Report it to the police immediately!
The money can't be refunded, and Dashan's leg still needs the money.
Guo Jin smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, old Taoist priest. We're not here to arrest you. We just need your help."
Gu Bai said gently, "If we want to arrest the Taoist priest, we'll just do it now. Taoist priest, please get in the car."
The old Taoist priest then got into the car with trepidation and sat in the back seat with Guo Jin.
Gu Bai sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought.
Tai Sui: "He acted so perfectly, without a single flaw. I need to learn from him."
Gu Bai: "If he hadn't calculated it so accurately, and there really had been a problem with the accommodation, I would have been fooled too."
He was actually a little skeptical about whether the old Taoist priest was truly ordinary, yet the photos on his phone were so accurate.
Guo Jin looked on with admiration, and Gu Xiaojiao also looked solemn, dispelling their suspicions.
The security vehicle arrived smoothly at the Qingyun Hotel.
Upon entering the hotel, the old Taoist priest looked around, his legs feeling a little weak; he had never been inside before.
The decor here is so luxurious; compared to this, the guesthouse he stayed in was a complete garbage dump.
Guo Jin looked on with admiration: "The Taoist priest is truly a professional. He looked at the hotel's layout and feng shui as soon as he entered."
Gu Xiaojiao agreed: "Indeed, take a closer look, look carefully, and look thoroughly."
The old Taoist priest blushed: "..."
No, are rich people really that easy to fool?
Tai Sui: "Professional! So professional, you can act like you're in any field."
Gu Bai pondered for a moment, then led them into the elevator without answering.
They arrived safely on the thirteenth floor, where Gu Qingyi and Yang Xi were waiting for them in the corridor.
Upon entering the room, one finds it cordoned off. On the wall hangs a line of blood-red words: Gu Xiaojiao, 28 years old, guilty of fraud, his fate is sealed: tonight at midnight, he will hang himself.
Blood-stained words!
"This..." The old Taoist priest turned pale with fright and involuntarily stepped back.
Guo Jin quickly helped him up: "Daoist Master, your calculations are incredibly accurate. 'Three Yin falling on the house gate is an ominous sign,' which means there's a problem with the dwelling. As soon as we returned, we found this line of characters inside. Could you please calculate again and tell us if there's any other way to resolve this besides escaping?"
"It can't be broken, it can't be broken." The old Taoist priest was so frightened that he was completely at a loss. He hadn't been in the profession for long and had never experienced anything like this before.
In the past, the guests were tourists who would come for a few days and leave that day, never to return.
Who knew these people had connections to the police? They didn't run away at all.
He dared not earn 300,000 anymore, and almost pleaded, "Gentlemen, let's go, go as far away as possible, and never come back."
"Taoist Master, what exactly did you foresee?" Guo Jin asked. "Speak boldly. Our law enforcement officers arrest criminals, evildoers, demons, and monsters."
The old Taoist priest's face turned even paler. He was nothing, yet he had stumbled upon a perfect match by sheer luck.
"You said today that what I'm looking for isn't a person. Now tell me, where is that thing?" Guo Jin asked again.
Gu Xiaojiao cried out in panic, "Daoist Master, save me! I don't want to commit suicide! I haven't lived enough yet, how could I possibly kill myself?"
The old Taoist priest felt a dryness in his throat and could not make a sound.
Is he even human?
Gu Bai frowned: "Could it be that you conspired with some people to do this on purpose?"
"No, no, how could I do such a thing?" The old Taoist priest was terrified and waved his hands repeatedly, "Let me think about it carefully, think about it carefully."
Tai Sui: "You're so professional, I can't learn that. You're even better at pretending than me."
Gu Bai: "Let's see what he says. If he doesn't say anything, it means he doesn't want to get involved and wants to stay out of it. If he acts too perfectly, his scheming is so deep that it's chilling. He must not be allowed to live."
Tai Sui: "What if he says something?"
Gu Bai: "That proves they want to intervene and use us to prey on them. We must not let them live."
Tai Sui: "??"
Are you out of your mind? No matter what, you can't keep it?
Then why are you talking so much nonsense?
The old Taoist priest closed his eyes, his right hand constantly twitching, probably from fright, as if his hand was cramping.
The group looked at him and waited quietly.
Half an hour later, the old Taoist priest cautiously opened his eyes a crack. Seeing everyone staring at him, he tentatively asked, "Um, is it possible that you're not in control of your own body, as if you're being manipulated?"
A cold glint flashed in Gu Bai's eyes.
Tai Sui: "He really saw through it and is already on the verge of death. That cunning old man is enough with us. Find an opportunity to take him down."
Gu Bai: "That old schemer is hard to kill. Let me think about how."
Tai Sui: "Strike first, strike hard. Find an opportunity tonight and kill them directly."
Gu Bai: "They're hiding so well, what if they're really stronger than us? A direct attack would not only risk being counter-attacked, but would also expose our own strength."
Tai Sui: "Then tell me how to kill it?"
Gu Bai: "Of course, I'll use humans to kill him. Don't worry, I had already thought of more than ten ways to kill him the first time I met him."
Tai Sui: "..."
No, I wanted to do it the moment I saw him?
