Chapter 369: Small Tomb
The temptation of money is undoubtedly huge for Chu Tian at this moment. He used to work overtime and stay up late for a salary of several thousand yuan, but now, an opportunity to change his fate is in front of him.
He took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the man in the white suit, with a flash of determination in his eyes. "Okay, I promise you."
The man in the white suit nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. I believe you won't let me down."
In the next few days, Chu Tian followed the instructions of the man in the white suit and began to investigate the whereabouts of Lao K. He contacted some of Lao K's old acquaintances, disguised himself in various identities, and went in and out of various places, trying to find clues about Lao K.
In the process, he gradually learned about Lao K's past, and gradually understood why Lao K was being pursued by so many people.
It turns out that Lao K holds an important confidential document in his hand, which is related to the rise and fall of a huge business empire. The man in the white suit is the mastermind behind this business empire.
He wanted to get this document to consolidate his position, but Old K became his biggest obstacle.
During his investigation, Chu Tian encountered various dangers: he was followed, threatened, and even attacked.
But he resolved the crisis with his wit and courage.
In this process, he gradually discovered his own "specialness".
He discovered that he possessed extraordinary observation and judgment, and was able to quickly analyze situations and make correct judgments.
He also discovered that he had a strong ability to adapt and was able to survive in a variety of environments.
And these are exactly what the man in the white suit refers to as “special temperament”.
One night, Chu Tian received a mysterious phone call from someone who claimed to know the whereabouts of Lao K.
Chu Tian followed the other party's instructions and came to a remote bar.
The bar was dimly lit, filled with smoke and a decadent atmosphere.
Chu Tian sat at the bar, ordered a glass of wine, and waited quietly.
After a while, a burly man came over and sat next to Chu Tian.
The man had short hair and a scar on his face, and looked very fierce.
"Are you Chu Tian?" the man asked in a low and hoarse voice.
Chu Tian nodded. "Who are you?"
"I'm Lao K's friend," the man said. "He asked me to pick you up."
Chu Tian's heart trembled, he knew that he had finally found Old K.
"Where is he?" Chu Tian asked, trying hard to control his emotions.
The man smiled. "Don't worry, follow me."
The man took Chu Tian out of the bar and came to a black SUV.
"Get in the car," the man said.
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, but still opened the car door and got in.
The car was bumpy all the way, and Chu Tian felt like his internal organs were about to shift. He glanced at the man next to him, with a scarred face, sinister eyes, and silence like a stone. There was a strange, indescribable fishy smell in the car, which made Chu Tian very uncomfortable.
"How long will it take?" Chu Tian finally couldn't help but break the silence.
The man sparingly uttered two words: "Soon."
After an unknown amount of time, the car finally stopped. The man opened the door roughly and said to Chu Tian, "Get out."
After Chu Tian got off the car, he found himself in a desolate wilderness. It was pitch black all around, with only a few sparse stars twinkling in the night sky. In the distance, he could vaguely see some low houses, like a remote village.
"Where is Lao K?" Chu Tian asked again.
The man did not answer, but walked straight towards the village. Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, but followed him.
They walked through several narrow alleys and came to a dilapidated house. The man opened the door and motioned Chu Tian to go in.
The room was dimly lit, with only a yellow oil lamp emitting a weak light. A thin, gray-haired old man was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand.
"Old K?" Chu Tian asked tentatively.
The old man raised his head, glanced at Chu Tian, then lowered his head and continued reading. "Are you Chu Tian?"
Chu Tian nodded.
"Please sit down." Old K pointed to the chair opposite.
Chu Tian sat down and felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
"I know you were sent to see me." Old K said slowly, "I also know what you want from me."
Chu Tian didn't say anything, he knew that Lao K was referring to the confidential document.
"But I advise you to give up." Old K continued, "That document is not something you can get your hands on."
Chu Tian sneered in his heart, he certainly wouldn't give up easily.
In the next few days, Chu Tian stayed in the village, trying to get the whereabouts of the documents from Old K. But he found that Old K was like an old fox, cunning and cautious, and did not give him any chance at all.
Bored, Chu Tian began to wander around the village. He found that the village was even more backward and poorer than he had imagined. Most of the villagers made a living by farming, and their lives were very hard.
One day, when Chu Tian was eating at a small restaurant in the village, he overheard several villagers talking about an ancient tomb near the village. It was said that a large amount of treasure was buried in this ancient tomb.
Chu Tian's mind moved, and he suddenly came up with an idea. Perhaps, he could use this ancient tomb to lure out Old K, and then take the opportunity to seize the documents.
It was a nice day, with bright sunshine and clear skies. Chu Tian decided to go to the ancient tomb. He asked the villagers about the exact location of the tomb, and then set off alone.
The ancient tomb was located deep in a dense forest on the mountain behind the village. Chu Tian walked for a long time before he finally found it.
The entrance to the ancient tomb was covered by dense vines, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance. Chu Tian took great effort to clear a passage.
He walked into the ancient tomb carefully, and a cold breath hit him. The ancient tomb was pitch black, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. Chu Tian took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the road ahead.
The passage of the ancient tomb was long and winding. Chu Tian walked for a long time but did not reach the end. He began to wonder if he had taken the wrong path.
Just then, he suddenly heard a strange sound, like someone crying.
Chu Tian's heart trembled. He clenched the dagger in his hand and walked forward vigilantly.
The sound was getting closer and clearer. Chu Tian finally saw the source of the sound.
In a small tomb, a young woman was curled up in the corner, crying quietly.
The woman was very beautiful, but she was pale and looked very weak.
"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked.
The woman raised her head, glanced at Chu Tian, then lowered her head and continued crying.
"Why are you here?" Chu Tian asked again.
The woman still didn't answer.
Chu Tian felt something was wrong. He walked up to the woman, squatted down, and looked at her carefully.
Suddenly, he found a deep wound on the woman's neck and blood was flowing out.
"You are injured!" Chu Tian exclaimed.
The woman raised her head and looked at Chu Tian with pleading eyes.
