Chapter 104 Catching Ghosts
The study of the head escort is very spacious, five feet wide, with three rooms inside and outside. If the screen is removed, there will be no problem whether it is for martial arts or banquets.
In the past, the escort heads of the escort agency gathered here countless times to discuss important matters of the escort agency, and they also drank and had banquets directly here countless times. At that time, the escort agency was prosperous, the atmosphere was harmonious, and it was like a family.
In fact, until now, although the development of the Escort Bureau has some bottlenecks, and it is difficult to extend to real big cities due to its limited strength, the relationship within the Escort Bureau has always been harmonious.
The head escort is very protective and treats the escorts very well. Although there is competition among the escort teams, they are all benign and there is no real barrier.
However, when Shen Longteng and the four escort chiefs from the escort agency entered the study that they were already very familiar with, the atmosphere was colder than in the middle of winter.
Except for Chu Sheng, the escort chief, who was out on a mission, and Zhao Xingyang had just returned, Wei Zhen, Lu Zhenyu, and Xu Mo happened to be at the escort agency and did not go out.
The four of them were in the study room, but they were all preoccupied. They were either staring at the floor, or at the beams, or at the blue and white vase in the corner that was as tall as one person. They kept looking at it, even if the chief escort I haven't replaced that bottle in ten years.
Shen Longteng sat behind the large desk. He first took out a porcelain bottle and threw it to Zhao Xingyang, signaling him to take the medicine. Then he closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Zhao Xingyang opened the porcelain bottle, took out the elixir inside, and drank it without looking at it.
Within a moment, a heat arose in his body, and the damage to his meridians and minor bone cracks caused by forcibly breaking through the bone forging barrier were itching under the nourishment of the heat, and were slowly healing.
It takes effect so quickly and can make up for such a serious injury that can damage the foundation. The value of this elixir is self-evident.
Zhao Xingyang just cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, the head escort."
Shen Longteng waved his hand, still closing his eyes and saying nothing. .
In the huge study, the air seemed to be getting colder and colder, and more and more stuffy.
Headguard Xu Mo frowned and spoke first:
"Headguard, please call us over. Do you have any orders?"
Shen Longteng then Open your eyes, under the four escort heads He turned around one by one and said in a complicated tone:
"I thought this kind of thing would not happen to our Longteng Escort Agency, but I was careless. It was my fault as the head escort for not noticing in time. ”
Wei Zhen shook his head:
“The chief escort said something serious, no one wants it.”
Shen Longteng nodded and sighed:
“Yes, no one wants it, but It did happen. I don’t know what kind of benefits Jingangmen gave to make our people, old men of so many years, betray the escort agency.”
Xu Mo’s eyes widened when he heard this:
< br>
"What?"
He subconsciously wanted to refute, but his heart moved and his eyes turned on Lu Zhenyu and Zhao Xingyang. He hesitated for a moment and shut up.
Shen Longteng continued:
"It is very obvious what happened to Xingyang this time. His route has been sold long ago. Otherwise, how could those bandits lead him? Leading a hundred people to ambush dozens of miles away? Coupled with some strange things about the previous mission, it seems that there are already signs."
The four escort leaders continued to be silent, and Shen Longteng continued. Said:
"Moreover, it can only be a traitor at the level of a bodyguard, otherwise it would be impossible for him to do this without anyone noticing. No one knew about it until Xingyang escaped by chance this time."
Wei Zhenbei Raising his head with his hands, Zhao Xingyang stared at the ground, Lu Zhenyu Zhang He opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, Xu Mo frowned, and finally spoke:
"Is there anyone among us? This, Xingyang was attacked, I have always had conflicts with him..."
>He glanced at Lu Zhenyu but did not continue.
Lu Zhenyu snorted coldly:
"I can't stand what he does, but that's not all. It's even more impossible to trick the escort agency."
Xu Mo pursed his lips, took a step forward, and whispered:
"Chief escort, actually I don't know whether I should say it, but one of my subordinates discovered before that Lu The escort chief has close contact with the county government officials, and he often drinks in Judelou. More than one person witnessed this, more than once. "
Lu Zhenyu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "That's my childhood friend. What’s wrong with drinking with him?”
"Boss Lu, you have a quarrel with Heads Zhao, and you have close contacts with the officials. Where is the county government? That is Yu Chunsheng's private land, why are you here..."
Xu Mo shook his head. Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xingyang took over and said:
"It's not Mr. Lu. Even if he wants to contact the informant, how could he do it in a crowded place like Jude Building? He's not stupid."
Wei Zhen nodded:
“Not bad.”
Xu Mo didn't expect that both of them would speak for Zhao Xingyang and stared:
"You..."
"Xiao Xu, the escort agency, how did they treat you badly?"
< br>Shen Longteng interrupted directly, and with one sentence, Xu Mo felt as if he was struck by thunder, and his face instantly turned pale.
He forced a smile and said:
"What do the chief bodyguards mean by these words?"
Shen Longteng said with a look of pain and hatred on his face:
"There is no need to talk about Lao Wei and Lao Chu. We founded the bodyguard bureau together. The bodyguard bureau itself They have a share; Zhenyu was brought up by me, and the escort agency is his home, his I know your temper better. It’s impossible for you to do such a thing. Xiao Xu, could it be Xingyang himself who did it?”
Xu Mo’s face changed and he smiled sadly:
“Why Do you doubt me? Is it because my qualifications are not strong enough?”
"Of course not. In the first year after the establishment of the escort bureau, you were the first batch of escorts we recruited. At that time, our escort team had less than ten people. I and Lao Wei and Lao Chu took you out together, and you were the youngest, in front. Shouting vigorously. At that time, everyone was still young and living a comfortable life. I still remember it now.
"The first members of the escort team all retired, and we were the only ones left. Guy. You are one of the elders of the escort bureau. No matter how young and energetic Zhenyu and Xingyang are, have they ever disobeyed you? So, this is what puzzles me the most. It was you who went through life and death again and again in the Escort Bureau to survive until now. Why would you betray yourself?
"I have known you for almost thirty years. How come I don't know your character? Even if Zhenyu really betrayed the escort agency, how could you, with your peaceful temperament, say a bad word about him? Before you came in, I am only half-doubtful about you, but there is no need to say anything now.
"Xiao Xu, give me a reason. "
After hearing Shen Longteng's words, Xu Mo's face became paler and paler. Finally he couldn't help but close his eyes and said hoarsely:
"Chief escort, I can't help you..."
"What's the use of saying this? So many brothers are dead!"
Shen Longteng slammed the table hard and roared angrily The sound echoed in the study room.
Xu Mo pursed his lips and whispered:
“I am sorry for the brothers.
"Chief escort, you know, I gave birth to a son after I was thirty. This one is a bit arrogant. I thought it would be no big deal with me watching, but I got into trouble.
" I told him countless times not to run around even if he wanted to play, but for some reason he ran to the casino under the King Kong Gate, lost all his money, and seriously injured someone. He was immediately detained, and then after I reacted Before coming here, he was taken to the county jail.
"I wanted to come to the escort agency to discuss with you that night, but Yu Chunsheng stopped me on the way. Chief escort, you know, I am the only son..."
As Xu Mo spoke, tears streamed down his face, and he knelt on the ground. Bang bang kept kowtowing:
"Chief escort, I am the only son. I couldn't think about it for a moment and made a big mistake. I, Xu Mo, am not a thing, but...but I still beg you, chief escort." , you must help me rescue him!”
After he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly became full of energy, and he suddenly grabbed the ground with his head.
With a loud bang, a big hole was made on the floor of the study room. Xu Mo lay quietly inside, blood slowly pouring out from under his head.
