Chapter 94: Ge Wanshan's Choice

≡ Table of Contents

Fifth floor of the North Building.

This is Ge Wanshan's exclusive territory. Even Duan Yuanming would not rashly enter without a proper reason.

Ge Wanshan is not so alert usually. He eats when he is supposed to and sleeps when he is supposed to.

But today is an exception.

He can't sleep.

Even though he appeared so relaxed and natural during the day, he was actually very nervous.

Because of that secret report.

I don’t know the specific details, I only know that Wei Wuxie and Xie Changkong were involved at the same time.

What if Wei Wuxie is captured through Xie Changkong?

To be honest, during the day, Ge Wanshan really wanted to hear the words "I can't do anything" from Xu Chong.

Unfortunately, Xu Chong acted very confident.

This really made him anxious .

He knew that as long as he said hello to Xu Chong, there was a high possibility that Xu Chong would deliberately fail the interrogation.

But the problem is that he can't tell Xu Chong about this. Not only can he not tell it, but he also has to try his best to pretend to be very anxious about it.

After all, Xu Chong has already caught the eye of the commander-in-chief. What if he mentions him casually in the future and causes an investigation by the chief guard?

After thinking about it, it seems that now I can only pray that the connection between Xie Changkong and Wei Wuxie is not that close.

"Hey... this matter caused a commotion."

Ge Wanshan felt the gentle night breeze blowing behind him and sighed softly.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

"You seem distressed?"

"who?!"

Ge Wanshan turned around suddenly.

I have to say that the quality of the Blood-Clothes Guards is still high.

In an instant, Ge Wanshan completed the three steps of turning around, retreating, and defending at the same time.

But when he actually saw that there was no one sitting on the chair where the sound came from, he actually relaxed a lot.

"Wei Wuxie? How dare you show up!"

Ge Wanshan lowered his voice.

As far as he knew, besides himself, the only other person who had mastered the art of greed for light was Wei Wuxie.

"Greedy light is so useful, why should I be afraid?"

Xu Chong, wearing Wei Wuxie's original appearance, slowly revealed his figure.

That was his plan.

Duan Yuanming wants to use a fake Xie Changkong to set a trap for himself?

Then just take advantage of his own tactic and use his dead son instead!

Even though Duan Yuan knew that his dead son would be greedy for money, he never thought that the 'water ghost' would do the same.

Ge Wanshan didn't know about this either.

Not only that, Xu Chong also speculated that Ge Wanshan also did not know the true relationship between Wei Wuxie and Duan Yuanming.

What we are fighting against is the information gap.

"The faces change frequently."

At this time, Ge Wanshan had already relaxed most of his vigilance, and sat back down with a cold face, "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you now?"

"You can try."

Xu Chong looked at Ge Wanshan without wavering or avoiding his gaze.

After a moment, Ge Wanshan shook his head and said, "Well, I really don't know how many tricks you have. I won't offend you if I'm not sure... But I'm curious, why don't you just stay in hiding? Do you really think you're infallible with Wu Xiang Yi and Tan Guang?"

"Don't be so nervous."

Xu Chong curled his lips, "I came here to make a new deal with you."

"A new deal?"

Ge Wanshan said disdainfully, "Give me the list of traitors in Zhanghua Mansion first, and then you can talk about the rest."

List of traitors?

Is this what Wei Wuxie promised Ge Wanshan...

Xu Chong's mind raced, and he quickly responded: "Isn't this deal already done?"

"What's the meaning?"

Ge Wanshan raised his eyebrows, "When did you give me the list?"

"Although there is no list, I sent you Xie Changkong."

Xu Chong chuckled, "Why did you ask me to go to Fenggu County? I went there just to verify the list, but I didn't expect to cause such a big thing... However, you have already captured Xie Changkong, which is enough to make up for this deal."

"I see……"

Ge Wanshan nodded thoughtfully.

Based on previous transaction experience, he had no doubt that Wei Wuxie would verify the list.

but……

Ge Wanshan frowned: "How much does Xie Changkong know about you? Don't let him catch you in the imperial court."

"Don't worry, Xie Changkong doesn't know much about me, and he can't track me based on that information."

Xu Chong waved his hand indifferently, and then changed the subject: "But he knows a lot about you."

"I?!"

Ge Wanshan's face trembled violently, "What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!"

"Well, as you know, developing new trading partners is not an easy task, so..."

Xu Chong's tone revealed a hint of embarrassment, "So I showed my greed in front of a few big clients."

"What?!"

Ge Wanshan stood up and yelled, " Fuck you! You don't act like a human being, do you?!"

Revealing greed for light?

What's the difference between that and just telling others that you're also involved in the transaction? !

No……

This person's purpose of showing his greed for money seems to be to make others believe that he is also involved in the transaction?

"You bastard! I'll kill your ancestors..."

Ge Wanshan uttered a lot of foul language.

Xu Chong didn't stop him, he just watched quietly... he was cursing a dead ghost anyway.

After a long while, Ge Wanshan gradually calmed down and sat down dejectedly: "How many people have you shown your greed in front of?"

Now he regretted it very much. Why did he give away the Shadow Step just for a little bit of profit?

Not only did he give Wei Wuxie the Shadow Step, he also gave him all the key skills...

He is really blinded by greed!

"Not many. You can rest assured about the others, except for Xie Changkong..."

Xu Chong smiled faintly, "The reason I came to see you this time is also for him."

"Xie Changkong?"

Ge Wanshan frowned. "Didn't you say he can't threaten you? Don't tell me you are so kind that you showed up just to eliminate the hidden danger for me... I know you always put profit above all else."

"You're right. I naturally have my own purpose."

Xu Chong raised his lips, "I want you to help me... kill Duan Yuanming!"

"What?!"

Ge Wanshan once again cried out in shock, "You have no grudge against him, and no conflict of interest, so why do you want to kill him?"

"I naturally have my own purpose."

Xu Chong's tone was steady, "As long as you help me kill Duan Yuanming, I can help you eliminate all hidden dangers."

“This… won’t work!”

Ge Wanshan hesitated for a moment and then refused directly, "I am at a great disadvantage in this deal. My hidden danger was caused by you, and now you want me to help you kill the Duan family? Do you know how powerful the Duan family is? If I kill Duan Yuanming, it would be tantamount to seeking my own death. It is better to leave it as it is."

"No, no, no."

Xu Chong stretched out a finger and waved it, "I know better than you how powerful the Duan family is."

"Then why did you let me die?"

Ge Wanshan's face turned cold, "What good will it do you if I die?"

"Because I am sure that the Duan family will not cause you any trouble."

Xu Chong said calmly.

"you?"

Ge Wanshan sneered, "Why do you dare to say that?"

"Because...my last name is Duan too."

This statement is earth-shattering.

Ge Wanshan's eyes bulged out, his face full of disbelief and shock: "Your last name is Duan?!"

"I am a humble person, my real name is Duan Wuxie."

Xu Chong smiled sinisterly, "Duan Yuanming is my father."

"What?!"

Ge Wanshan's eyeballs almost popped out.

Xu Chong did not continue speaking. Although his eyes seemed calm, he was actually observing Ge Wanshan's expression carefully.

After all, he didn't know how much Ge Wanshan knew about Duan Yuanming, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

If you hit yourself in the face, the embarrassment is a small matter, but it would be terrible if your plan was ruined.

Fortunately, things went more smoothly than he had imagined.

Ge Wanshan's expression changed from cloudy to bright several times, and finally he nodded slowly: "No wonder... Duan Yuanming said that he was already a father when he was a teenager, but he had died. And according to the time you first recorded it, it was just shortly after his son died."

"Oh, even the Duan family in the capital city can have such a drama of father and son killing each other, it's really..."

“It’s really refreshing.”

Ge Wanshan laughed, "Why? Did he threaten you?"

"What do you think?"

Xu Chong did not comment.

Since Ge Wanshan has such a rich imagination, let him continue.

"It seems that my guess was correct."

Ge Wanshan said to himself, "The age difference between you two is too small. If he takes the position of the head of the family, you will have to wait... But, are you sure you can help me stop the Duan family?"

"Can not be sure."

Xu Chong shook his head, and without waiting for Ge Wanshan to change his expression, he continued, "However, between a descendant of the family who is hiding in the dark and cannot be caught, and a descendant of the family who has already died, I don't need to teach them how to choose, right?"

"……really."

Ge Wanshan nodded, a chill rising in his heart, "You are indeed a person who puts profit above all else... If I'm not mistaken, are you planning to temporarily give up your identity as Duan Wuxie?"

"Wei Wuxie's identity must also be abandoned."

Xu Chong affirmed, "When I take the position of the head of the family... you will be able to trade with me for a lot more things."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ge Wanshan's heart was pounding.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, I can promise you that a mere Tongmai Eighth Level is definitely not my opponent."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you."

Xu Chong raised his hand and said slowly: "Duan Yuanming is not at the eighth level of Tongmai, but at the tenth level."

"Tenth level?!"

Ge Wanshan's brows were tightly furrowed.

Although he did not expect Duan Yuanming to hide his realm, this made him believe even more that Wei Wuxie was Duan Wuxie.

"Why, are you scared?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "You have so many good things in Qianhu Division, but you can't kill a Tongmai Tenth Level?"

"this……"

Ge Wanshan was hesitating.

The Qianhu Suo does have something to deal with Tongmai warriors.

Just the precious medicine Soul-Loving Incense can make a person lose all his strength.

Not to mention there is also the "magic medicine" called Huoshensan which is also effective for opening up meridians.

But the problem is, in this case, he has to create an atmosphere that allows Duan Yuanming to completely relax.

Not so easy.

"You can give up if you want. At most I'll just wait a few more years."

Xu Chong said in a timely manner, "But if that happens, I won't have the chance to kill Xie Changkong. Don't blame me if anything is revealed during the interrogation... Maybe you can also hope that Duan Yuanming will suppress the report and just use this to threaten you."

“…”

Ge Wanshan was silent for a while.

Whether it was the exposure or being controlled by Duan Yuanming, this was unacceptable to him.

In comparison, he was more willing to cooperate with Duan Wuxie, with whom he had a basis of trust.

then.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Ge Wanshan made a decision and then smiled grimly, "If you don't help me deal with the future troubles, don't blame me for exposing all your affairs... No matter how powerful and outstanding you are, your grandfather can only pass the throne to your incompetent uncle."

"Why do you think I told you this?"

Xu Chong shrugged, "Isn't it just handing the handle to you?"

"……All right."

The last trace of doubt in Ge Wanshan's heart disappeared.

At that moment, the two began to discuss the specific actions.

Half an hour later, Duan Wuxie disappeared and left Qianhu Suo.

Another hour passed, and the windows of the room on the third floor opened and closed.

Xu Chong showed up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

This time he did not have enough information and could be said to be operating entirely based on his feelings.

The bet is that Ge Wanshan will believe that he is "Wei Wuxie" at the first moment.

Now it seems that there is no problem on Ge Wanshan's side.

But if you want to ensure that Duan Yuanming can be killed, you still need to consider it more carefully.
