Chapter 302 The Disappearance of Zhen Mingzhu
An hour later, the driver who sent Yang Wude away ran back to the old house with injuries on his body, and collapsed as soon as he reached the door of the old house.
The doorman came to report, and Butler Bai hurried out to see what was going on.
Seeing the blood-soaked man, he thought to himself, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky." Well, I'll leave a witness to prove Yang Wude's death was an accident.
"Hurry up and carry the man into the house and call the doctor."
In the evening, Bai Song got the news and hurried over to see.
"What happened? I heard the driver who took Dr. Yang home was injured and ran back. How is Dr. Yang?"
"I sent people to look for it along the road, and found that the car fell off a cliff, exploded, and was completely burned. Doctor Yang is afraid that..." Butler Bai hesitated to speak.
"What did the driver say?" Bo Song frowned slightly.
"He just regained consciousness and said that the road was slippery due to the snow, and he turned suddenly, the wheels slipped out of control and he fell off. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, opened the car door and jumped out. He grabbed a tree on the edge of the cliff and finally climbed up." said Butler Bai.
"Well, we have to give some compensation to Dr. Yang's family. It's New Year's Day, what's the big deal?" Bai Song frowned.
"The master has already given the order."
Other courtyard.
Ah Fu came hurriedly to report.
"Master, Yang Wude was in a car accident and fell off a cliff with the car. The driver was injured and ran towards the old house."
"Is the person dead?" Bai Xun asked.
"No, the car was blocked by a few trees and didn't roll down that fast. But he was seriously injured and passed out. Guan Fang and Sun Cheng dragged him out of the car and then set it on fire. Now the car has exploded and burned to ashes. Even if the old patriarch sends someone to check, they probably won't find any problems." Ah Fu said.
"Well done. Send the man to the Great Wizard. He has a way to save him." Bai Xun said.
"Great wizard?" Ah Fu was a little surprised.
"go quickly!"
"Yes." Ah Fu walked out quickly.
The next morning, Bai Xun went to the witch doctor under the pretext of preparing for the New Year sacrificial ceremony.
"You really know how to cause me trouble." said the Great Witch.
"If you don't want to cause trouble, you can just turn him away or tell your grandfather directly." Bai Xun looked at him and said.
The Great Wizard chuckled and said, "You are even better at manipulating people's hearts than your grandfather."
"How is he?" Bai Xun asked.
"His life has been saved for now, but he hasn't woken up yet. I need medicine and gauze for follow-up treatment, as much as possible. You have to figure out a way to get them." The Great Witch said as he handed him a cup of tea.
Bai Xun took it and took a sip, then said, "Got it. I'll have Ah Fu bring it over later."
The Great Wizard was a little surprised: "Why do you have this thing?"
"The situation is unstable. Before long, medicines, cotton yarn, steel, food... will become scarce. I am a businessman, and I do have some sensitivity and insight." Bai Xun said.
"You really are becoming less and less like the Second Young Master Bai I knew."
"Boss Zhen, you and I have known each other for a long time. Now that we are in the same boat, let's stop hiding things. Being honest will benefit both of us." Bai Xun said.
The Great Wizard paused, was silent for a moment, and took off his mask.
It turned out to be the long-missing Zhen Mingzhu.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. But when did you find out?" The Great Wizard said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
"After helping my grandfather, he was able to evade pursuit and disappear quietly from He'an County. I've checked Baijiazhai during that time, and no outsiders have been there. The most suspicious person is you, who has never shown your face in public. And your figure happens to be very similar to Boss Zhen's.
"You're not the real Zhen Mingzhu, are you? Although there is indeed such a Zhen Mingzhu, everyone who knew what he looked like is dead. I sent people to verify, but they only knew that such a person existed and couldn't verify whether you are the real Zhen Mingzhu." Bai Xun said.
"I am indeed not Zhen Mingzhu. Come to think of it, you should have seen the real Zhen Mingzhu." The Great Wizard replied.
"Who?"
"The murderer who escaped from the prison." said the great witch.
Bai Xun's heart trembled, and he asked again: "Then who are you? Why do you want to replace Zhen Mingzhu?"
The Great Wizard poured some hot tea into his cup and said slowly, "I'm just an old friend. I replaced Zhen Mingzhu because your grandfather wanted to find someone who could decipher the Demon Book. He couldn't find the Underground Palace, and when he heard that the Demon Book contained the secret of the Underground Palace, he became interested."
The real Zhen Mingzhu did possess a demonic book, the one I gave to Nanchun. He encountered your grandfather while fleeing and was saved by him. He then followed your grandfather to Baijiazhai. Once there, he was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Your grandfather snatched the demon book from him and questioned him about its secrets. He remained silent despite the torture. To control him, your grandfather began giving him opium and injecting him with addictive Western drugs.
At this point, the Great Wizard glanced in the direction of the secret room, then looked at Bai Xun: "You brought him here, you should have guessed that he was the one who injected the drug, right? What? Who does he want to harm this time? Nanchun?"
Bai Xun gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The Great Wizard knew he had guessed correctly, chuckled, and said, "Sure enough, after all these years, your grandfather still likes to use this trick."
"You haven't answered me yet. Why do you want to replace Zhen Mingzhu?" Bai Xun asked.
"According to Zhen Mingzhu, the demon book he has was obtained from someone who had been to Xinchuan Ridge and the underground fairy palace. Your grandfather wanted me to replace Zhen Mingzhu and lure that person here. In the end, we didn't attract the prey, but we attracted the hunter. Nan Chenglin disappeared in Xinchuan Ridge, so your grandfather asked me to stage a show before disappearing to test Nan Chun's knowledge of the demon book."
At this point, the Great Wizard laughed and said, "Nanchun is smarter than I thought. I thought he either knew about it and was discovered by your grandfather, or he truly knew nothing. But he used a trick to hide it and escaped.
This made the head of the Bai family undecided. It was not right to kill him, nor to keep him alive. If he killed him, what if Nanchun knew the secret of the demon book, and his death would be a shame. If he didn't kill him, what if Nanchun had betrayed the Bai family like Nan Chenglin, and keeping him alive would be a great threat to him.
Bai Xun's hand trembled slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Nanchun is smarter than you think. You are blinded by your emotions and can no longer see the truth." The Great Witch said with a smile.
Could it be that... Nanchun already knew that Grandpa Nan was still alive?
So who are the Sheng family members who are working with Grandpa Nan?
Fourth Master Sheng!
Bai Xun's expression changed again and again, and finally it showed relief and long-lost relaxation.
Seeing this, the Great Wizard was puzzled: "You don't blame him for hiding it from you?"
Bai Xun took a sip of tea and said, "What I'm most worried about is his safety. If everything is under his control, I'll be relieved."
The Great Wizard smiled faintly, "The Bai family has always been unfeeling and indifferent, so it's rare that they have produced a sentimental one."
