Book 1: Chapter 140

"I am your father," I repeated.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"You are, you are." The waiter glanced at the money and then looked around, "Are you with Master Black?"

I felt my heart thump. Black Glasses, you really are the type of person to leave intelligence everywhere you go.

"Is there any news?" I asked the waiter softly.

He took another drag of his cigarette and said in my ear, "Master Black asked me to tell you: Live well."

Then he stepped back and made a gesture of cheering me on. I stared at him blankly for a few seconds and then grabbed his collar, "Just that one sentence?"

The waiter nodded, "Just that one sentence. It seems that you love that woman very much. What happened to you? Although we men might find it emotionally unbearable, you dont have to kill yourself. Look at you. Youre a nice, mature man. Just start over again. I also plan to go back to Cangzhou and live a good life."

I thought about it for a moment and then hooked my arm around his shoulders, "It can't just be that one sentence. You didnt do anything when you received the money, did you?"

He shook his head and became angry. "Your business is none of my business! Why should I hide it from you?" As he spoke, he took out the money. "If you dont believe me, just take the money back."

My heart was racing, I was sweating all over, and my lungs were spasming as I looked at the tulou from that hillside.

The whole tulou looked exactly the same as that upside-down bell I saw in Yang Daguang's ancestral tomb.

This tulou was a giant sound-collecting device.

I shouted and smacked my head, feeling that I was really stupid for wasting so much time in the tulou. I should have noticed this when I first saw it from the road.

They didn't check out, but still left without notice. But instead of leaving the tulou, they had actually entered its depths. The entrance to the calling spring was inside the tulou. That was why Black Glasses left that kind of message for me before returning to his room.

So, Xiao Hua and the others really had stayed behind closed doors on the fifth floor with all the windows covered. I had made so many stupid predictions and thought I was so clever, but it was all wrong.

The entrance of the calling spring was in the tulou. Xiao Hua and the others didnt have to go out at all! And he didnt need to be in any kind of conflict with the fourth floor because those people would never guess the truth.

After such a big accident, Uncle Two and the others were injured and must have secretly withdrawn from the tulou. As a result, none of them settled the bill. If they had gotten into trouble in the forest, then they would've checked out of their rooms and left the tulou without leaving any messages.

I stood there stunned as I looked at the shape of the tulou. If this was a huge sound-collecting device, then what was under the tulou?
