C87 It Was a Trap

Shen Qiutong glanced at Shen Donghui, but her heart was filled with unhappiness. His words were clearly saying that Shen Dongyang would never come back, but this was not what Shen Qiutong hoped for.

She said faintly. "What did uncle say? Father will come back sooner or later. The position of patriarch will naturally be taken by father. Uncle, don't worry. "

Shen Donghui's face turned ashen, but the corners of his eyes were full of smiles. He was always a person who would not show his temper on his face, even if he really wanted to give Shen Qiutong a slap and scold her harshly. He was now the real patriarch.

He did not do that. Instead, he ordered someone to bring a pot of tea. He smiled and narrowed his eyes. Squinting, he said, "It is still Qiutong who knows how to be filial. Look, this is your father's favorite Green Spiral Spring. Every time I drink this tea, I will think of your father. He is really a good person! Come, let us uncle and nephew drink a cup together today. How about it? "

Shen Qiutong saw his sincere face and the anger that was originally still on her head instantly dissipated. She had some doubts in her heart and did not move for a long time. Shen Donghui was slightly stunned and then smiled and said, Yes. " What? Uncle can't even treat you to a cup of tea? Sigh, I'm really old now. My words are useless. "

He looked at Shen Donghui's slightly graying sideburns. Only then did Shen Qiutong come back to her senses. She hurriedly went forward to take the teacup that Shen Donghui handed over and said apologetically, "Uncle Donghui, I'm really sorry. My attitude just now was really. . . "

Shen Donghui waved his hand and smiled very honestly. " Hey, what is this? Did you forget that you used to act like a spoiled child in front of me when you were young?"

When Shen Qiutong thought of her childhood, her heart ached. Yes, when she was young, whenever she had something she wanted, Shen Dongyang would not buy it for her. It was Shen Donghui who secretly bought it for her. Shen Dongyang was not allowed to go to places she wanted to go, and Shen Donghui was also obligated to bring her there to play.

In short, as uncles, Shen Donghui was very suitable. Shen Qiutong raised her glass to Shen Donghui and drank it all in one gulp.

When Shen Qiutong put down the teacup, she found that Shen Donghui was standing where he was and smiling at her. That kind of smile was hard to describe. It was definitely not a kind smile, but it could not be said to be evil. Looking at Shen Donghui's cup again, there was not a drop of water missing.

"You, uncle, why are you. . . " Shen Qiutong was about to ask, but her mind had unknowingly become dizzy. She barely managed to hold on to her body and did not let herself fall. At this time, her entire body was like a dry grass swaying in the breeze, and could fall at any time.

Shen Donghui smiled and walked in front of Shen Qiutong. He put his face next to Shen Qiutong's ear and said lightly. My good nephew's daughter, don't worry. Uncle will not harm you. But you have to help Uncle with something. "

Shen Qiutong asked in a daze, "What favor? Could it be that you put some medicine in the tea? "

Shen Donghui laughed loudly and said, " How could I make this? Don't worry, no one will know that you have disappeared, just like no one knows where your father has gone to. "

Shen Qiutong stared blankly at Shen Donghui in front of her. The teacup in her hand was almost crushed by her. She gritted her teeth and said, You. . . " My father was given to him by you?"

"No, no, no, I don't have that ability. Anyway, good boy. As long as you promise me one thing, I promise you that your dad and you will be safe and healthy. Don't underestimate your uncle's abilities. Back then, your uncle was also considered a martial artist. "

" What? You're a martial artist? Aren't you a businessman? I remember that you would never use martial arts. " Shen Qiutong gritted her teeth and said.

"Of course. In your eyes, Shen Donghui is naturally a businessman who does not even have the strength to truss a chicken. But you have to know that people change. Especially rich people. I. . . Although I'm not as rich as your dad, I've saved a lot of money by doing business under your dad's name all these years. This money is enough for me to hire any expert in the martial arts world. "

Shen Qiutong swallowed her saliva. She realized that she did not understand this person in front of her at all, just like how she did not know her father. Shen Dongyang was publicly acknowledged as the second richest man in Gusu, but very few people knew about him. He was actually a famous martial arts expert back then. The post pointed out that he was a true blade artist.

No Blade Master would be willing to hide the fact that he was once a Blade Master. It was as if he had hidden the most glorious thing in his life.

Shen Dongyang would never be such a person. However, for so many years, he would never reveal his identity as a saber user, even if almost everyone knew that he was once a saber user.

He seemed to feel that for a wealthy man like him, the identity of a saber user was hard to accept. It even made him feel humiliated.

Shen Qiutong had wanted Shen Dongyang to help her more than once, but it had never happened. Shen Dongyang was like a mystery, always hiding by Shen Qiutong's side.

At this moment, Shen Qiutong was even more confused about her life, because she suddenly realized that besides her father's accident, there was actually such an elusive person hiding in the Shen family. He was her uncle, Shen Donghui, who had protected her from Xiao Ai.

"So my father is really with you now?" Shen Qiutong did not expect that the dose of this medicine was very shallow. At most, it limited her movements. She was getting more and more clear about her mind.

Shen Donghui smiled. " Now you know that I did not lie to you, right? If I wanted to harm you, how could my medicine be so shallow? "

Shen Qiutong nodded her head, her face had already turned gloomy.

Her hand had unknowingly touched the steel knife on her back, but she could not use any strength to draw the knife.

Shen Donghui had seen through her thoughts long ago. He smiled faintly and said, "Qiutong, uncle will always be your uncle. Don't tell me that when you draw the knife, you still want to kill me?"

Only then did Shen Qiutong give up pulling out her knife and asked fiercely, " What exactly do you want me to do to let my father go?"

Shen Donghui smiled and scratched the back of the stick in his hand that he did not ask for help with. " I told you. I don't have the ability to catch your father. And I don't have the ability to let him go. However, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will definitely think of a way to get him out. "

Shen Qiutong sneered, "Is it because of my family's gold mountain?"

Shen Donghui gave Shen Qiutong a thumbs up and nodded, Yes. " She is indeed the eldest daughter of Shen family. She is indeed very smart. That's right, what I want is the map and key of our Shen family. "

Shen Qiutong shook her head and said, No problem. " I have also heard about this from my father, but unfortunately, I really don't know how to find that golden mountain. "

Shen Donghui waved his hand and said with a smile. " Hey! How could I not know? I naturally know everything that you know. However. . . The reason I called you here today is so that you can persuade your father. I want him to tell me the whereabouts of the golden mountain. You're right, someone will let you and your father go. But remember, you must not play any tricks on me. I don't usually have a good temper. "

Shen Qiutong snorted and said, "Pah! Do you think I, Shen Qiutong, am a cowardly little girl? You are wrong. If you want to kill me, then hurry up and do it. Otherwise, sooner or later, I will find you and settle the score with you!"

Shen Donghui said with a smile. " Of course, I know you are like your father. You have a strong temper, unlike me, who is a soft bone. But a soft bone also has its advantages. For example, the ones being controlled are you guys, and I'm controlling you guys. "

"Of course I know. You are not a thing. I thought I was blind to give you the position of patriarch. " Shen Qiutong cursed.

Shen Donghui took two steps back and smiled faintly. " Of course. If you want to blame someone, don't blame me. I'll tell you in secret. Your dad won't be able to hold on much longer. As long as you can help me with this. . . I'll definitely ensure your safety. Of course you aren't afraid of death, but do you think your father will bear to see you die? Don't tell me you want to force me to use a half-dead you to threaten your father? "

Shen Qiutong's eyes were filled with tears. Without realizing it, she had already sat on the chair. The knife that had been with her all year long also fell to the ground.

She gently closed her eyes and tears squeezed out from the slits of her eyes. " What do you want me to do?"

When Shen Donghui heard this, he was very happy. He laughed and held Shen Qiutong's shoulders. " I knew that our Qiutong would definitely not make things difficult for uncle. Let me tell you, when the time comes, you will persuade your father just like that. "

Shen Qiutong's eyes were blocked and every step she took was very unfamiliar. She got into a horse carriage and the horse carriage sped away. The road was bumpy and from time to time, she could hear the sound of peddlers.

Shen Qiutong tried her best to recall the road she had walked on and wanted to identify which road it was.

There were the sounds of youtiao peddlers and bean curd sellers. She passed by a pawnshop because the staff inside was shouting. " Insects eat mice, and the light boards are hairless. A piece of torn leather jacket. 。。。” The road suddenly became a little bumpy. Only the southern part of the city had a road like this, because the main road was currently being repaired.

As he passed by a wine shop, the aroma of the wine filled the entire carriage. Shen Qiutong frowned as she thought about it. Suddenly, a place appeared in her mind, the Shen family's old residence in the south of the city.

The old residence was the oldest place in the Shen family. It had been a few decades since anyone lived here. Usually, only an old man was arranged to clean the place.

Shen Qiutong was more mischievous when she was young and often brought Dugu Ming here to play hide and seek. Recently, she rarely moved around but she knew that the old residence was indeed a good hiding place.

Because the old residence was simple and crude, and furthermore, The old residence was very simple, and no one would come to Dali to live there. Therefore, if there was a person hiding there, no matter what, they would not be able to find him.

Shen Qiutong swallowed her saliva and remembered all of this in her heart.

"My brother, look who I brought here. " Shen Donghui held Shen Qiutong's hand and smiled at Shen Dongyang.

Shen Qiutong tried to break free from Shen Donghui's hand, but she could not do anything.

Shen Dongyang was prepared to commit suicide, because here, instead of being humiliated, it was better to kill himself with a headbutt.

However, the moment he saw Shen Qiutong, Shen Dongyang's heart shattered. He could die a thousand times or ten thousand times, but his daughter was innocent. At least she was still very young. There were still many things waiting for her to do. She could not die just like that.

Shen Dongyang roared furiously. " You beast, let her go!"

Shen Donghui shook his head and said, " Look, what's the use of earning more money? If you die today, what's the point of such a big family business? In the end, isn't it still helping others to get married? In my opinion, fertilizer doesn't flow to the fields of outsiders. You should obediently hand it over. "

Shen Dongyang roared again. He shouted, "You beast, I will tear you into pieces sooner or later. "

Shen Donghui had already let go. Shen Qiutong immediately rushed over, but there was an iron fence between the two of them. Shen Qiutong's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Shen Dongyang who was being tormented until he was badly bruised. Her heart felt sour as she said, "Father, you have suffered. "

Shen Dongyang nodded his head in relief and reluctantly smiled. Dad is fine. He will be fine when he sees that you are safe and sound. But you have made a mistake. "

Shen Qiutong asked, "What? I made a mistake? "

Shen Dongyang nodded and said, " Since you already know all the secrets of the matter, do you think they will let us go as promised?"

Shen Qiutong shook her head in shock and said, "No, it seems that I am going to die here?"

Shen Dongyang sighed and said, "Did Shen Donghui ask you to find out about the whereabouts of the golden mountain?"

Shen Qiutong nodded. Shen Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "The legendary golden mountain of our family is located in the Apricot Flower Forest of Chuyun Peak. Of course, only you and I know about this secret. As for you, don't tell Shen Donghui about it. "

Shen Qiutong nodded her head and asked softly, "Where is the key?"

"We don't need the key. As long as we can find the thickest tree in the Apricot Flower Forest, we can find the entrance to the golden mountain. Remember, don't tell Shen Donghui. " Shen Dongyang said in a low voice.

Shen Qiutong retreated in a daze.

The next day, Shen Donghui brought more than a dozen experts to Apricot Flower Forest and carefully examined every tree. Finally, they found the largest tree in the forest where the mouth was inconspicuous.

The tree trunk needed three people to hug it together to barely hold it. It was really amazing.

Shen Donghui shook his head and exclaimed, What?" Dongyang is indeed Dongyang. Only he can get his hands on this place. "

Shen Donghui ordered the trees to be cut open. The dozen of men rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms together. Each of them seemed very excited. They wished they could see the legendary golden mountain right away.

After half a day, they finally saw the branches of the tree. There was actually a pull ring in the middle of the tree. This pull ring was made of pure gold. It seemed to weigh about one jin. Even the opening ring was so expensive, let alone the treasures inside.

Shen Donghui ran to everyone and carefully observed the zipper. However, he was also very careful. Although he was excited, he had not lost his mind yet. He took two steps back and let the zipper not leave his sight, but there was still a certain distance.

He ordered his men to pull the zipper. With a crack, the zipper was pulled open.
