I felt more and more that this seemingly ordinary six-story building is likely to hide my mystery that I could not imagine.

The old lady pressed the elevator button, and the numbers on the display of the number of layers began to decrease from "6", while the old lady frowned while staring at the numbers above.

As the number on the monitor became "1", the elevator door opened with a tingling sound. At this time, I found that there were people inside the elevator. They were two teenagers who looked similar to me, but their outfit reminded me of Wang Dapeng many years ago.

Colorful pants, a suit embroidered with a golden dragon, a big gold chain around their neck, and their red or yellow hair.

In fact, people who dress like this may not be bad people, but these people have one thing in common, that is, they are eye-catching.

These two teenagers should be from the Cao family, but when they looked at the old lady, their eyes were not respectful at all, and they even had a little contempt.

One of the boys saw the old lady and asked, "If you don't stay at home, where have you been?"

The other one looked at us. When his eyes passed by Xian'er and Luo Fei, he was particularly malicious. He raised his chin at us and asked the old lady in a very arrogant tone: "These people are not members of the Cao family. What do you want to do when you bring them in?"

The old lady looked at the two teenagers and breathed a breath of turbidity, saying slowly: "Don't you take action?"

Hearing the old lady's words, the two people standing in the elevator car were stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what the old lady meant.

It was only after I saw their reaction that I realized that the old lady said this to us.

Liang Houzai's reaction was the fastest, and rushed into the elevator like the wind, kicking one of the people hard in the face. Over the years, Liang Houzai's feet have become more and more powerful. Not to mention the bones on his face, even the stone bricks that were ten centimeters thick could be kicked into two pieces by him. Fortunately, he still retracted the force. After the man was kicked in the face by him, he didn't hear the sound of bones shattering, but just fainted.

On this side, Liang Houzai had just succeeded, and on the other side, Liu Shangang rushed into the elevator box. He hugged the other person's neck and punched the man on the cheek. Unfortunately, Liu Shangang was not strong enough. After the man was hit, he just became a little dazed and could not faint completely. Liang Houzai quickly raised his legs and punched the man in the face. Only then did the elevator cabin be completely cleaned.

The old lady seemed to have seen such a scene for a long time. She nodded, walked into the elevator calmly, and turned around to wave to us: "Come in quickly."

We followed the old lady into the elevator. Only then did I realize that there were only two floor buttons on the operating board next to the elevator door, one on the first floor and the other on the sixth floor button.

While the elevator was rising, the old lady didn't say a word. It was not until the number on the monitor turned 6 again that she asked me to help me carry the two unconscious teenagers into her room.

The old lady's door was originally open, and I saw a glass table directly opposite her. There were some side dishes in plastic bags and two bottles of unfinished wine on the table.

When we carried the two teenagers out, the old lady sighed at the table of wine and food, and then went straight into the room.

Liu Shangang took out a rope from his backpack, tied the two young men up in a big way, and then found something to block their mouths, and then he followed the old lady into the inner room with us.

Apart from the toilet and the kitchen, the old lady lived in only two rooms inside and outside. There was almost nothing in the room outside except a glass table and a few chairs. The wall was just a little tired of cement. But when I arrived at the inner room, I was simply an antique shop. Although I didn’t know much about antiques, after my master for so many years, I also recognized golden nanmu and Tang Sancai porcelain.

In this room, whether it is furniture or small items placed casually, they are all antique things.

When the old lady saw me constantly watching the things in the house, she immediately smiled: "These things are all saved by the masters of the hometowns of all generations. Don't think that our Cao family is the weakest among the families of Baiwu Mountain, but the things accumulated by ancestors can be considered priceless."

It's not just priceless. There is a black copper gilt tripod at the top of the treasure rack in the corner of the wall. There is also one in the door tripod of Jihunzhuang. This thing alone can no longer be described as priceless.

But I can't understand that the Cao family is controlled by Zhao Dekai because they have no money? If the old lady was willing to give up and sell one or two items in the house, the Cao family wouldn't have recovered, and even if Zhao Dekai was suppressed so much?

The old lady walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, saying that there was tea in the cabinet, which was not good, but it was still okay to quench thirst and refresh the spirit.

She said this, but she actually wanted me to make tea, but probably because I was an outsider, I didn't use too straightforward words to tell me.

To be honest, it’s really tiring to get along with all kinds of elderly people. You have to think carefully about what she says.

I smiled, looked for tea and tea sets in the cabinet, and then went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

When I was walking towards the inner room with a tea tray, I found that the two teenagers tied by Liu Shangang were awake at this time. They were blocked and could not speak. When I walked past them, they kept looking at me with extremely vigilant and worried eyes, as if I would do anything to them.

I came to the inner room, placed the tea tray on the small table next to the old lady, and asked the old lady: "What should I do with those two people?"

The old lady stretched her neck, looked outside the house, shook her head, and said, "These two young people are at the age of being unrest. They have been looking at me here over the years and have been instructed by the adults."

That means you don't make things difficult for them.

I found a chair to sit down, and Luo Fei walked over and poured tea.

I asked the old lady: "What is the situation in the Cao family now? How many people have defected to Zhao Dekai?"

The old lady took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It's not too much to say more, but it's not too little to say less. Now, like us, we naturally have nothing to do with Zhao Dekai. But those young and strong people all want to take the positions of us old guys. They don't have enough qualifications. If they want to get to the top, wouldn't they have to rely on the strength of outsiders?"

What she said was that the reason why Baiwushan became like this has nothing to do with the elderly in the clans. In the future, Yan Xiaotian would not even be able to take charge of them even if he had become the leader of Baiwushan.

Before, both Master and Old Man Wei said that the eldest lady of the Cao family was a person who knew the general, and I really believed it, but after contacting this eldest lady, I realized that she was not a person who knew the general, and she was just a petty person. No matter what she said or did, she had to protect herself first, for fear of leaving a handle for us.

I was already a little impatient, so I changed the topic: "Who is the Cao family now?"

The old lady took another sip of tea and said, "On the surface, the second in command is the second in command, but he is just a puppet. Now the power of the Cao family is in the hands of Cao Hongbin."

I said, "Cao Hongbin is also a young and strong person, right?"

The old lady nodded: "Of course, Cao Hongbin is not only a young man, but he is like Wei Laosan, but also a dog that Zhao Dekai has raised by him. He was also the one who asked the Cao family to invest in Zhao Dekai's place."

I took a deep breath and said to the old lady: "Old lady, to be honest, if it were not for the approval of the old generation of the Cao family, it would be impossible for the Cao family to spend money to invest in Zhao Dekai just by relying on a young and unqualified and unstatused young group. And I heard that in order to get more share, the Cao family sold the industry and sold it into cash to invest. I don't believe that Cao Hongbin's words could make the Cao family sell even the industry. Old lady, we came to the Cao family this time with sincerity. If you always use this kind of argument to excuse us, then I think there is no need for the Cao family to save it. Anyway, even if we save the Cao family, the Cao family will be wary of us and refuse to help us sincerely."

Listening to my words, the old lady seemed a little unhappy, but after she was silent for a long time, she finally sighed: "Oh, you young people are just impatient and like to say everything in a blunt way. But don't you think about it. If you say it to death, when Yan Xiaotian takes office, will our Cao family still have room for maneuver?"

I said, "Old Madam, you said this because you don't know Yan Xiaotian. I can guarantee you that after he takes office, you will never be ruthless against the clans. Besides, even if you tell me this now, I can't negotiate with Yan Xiaotian on your behalf, right? Let's do what you are doing first, and we will help you clean up the insider of the Cao family. When the Cao family is peaceful, you can also directly interview Yan Xiaotian."

The old lady stared at me for a while, let out a long sigh, and nodded: "What you, a young man, said is still somewhat reasonable. Well, the insider of the Cao family... Now half of the Cao family are Zhao Dekai's eyeliner. Can you still get rid of these people?"

I said, "I plan to control a few leaders first."

The old lady said "um" and said, "Then you go and find Cao Hongbin. However, he has been famous for a long time in the industry and is not that easy to deal with."

I asked the old lady: "Is Cao Hongbin also the inheritance of Baiwu Mountain?"

The old lady nodded: "Of course it is the inheritance of Baiwu Mountain. He practiced the most insidious kung fu and magic in Baiwu Mountain. He is also proficient in all kinds of bone shrinkage and iron finger skills. It can be said that among the young and strong generations of Baiwu Mountain today, except for Zhao Dekai, Cao Hongbin has the deepest Taoist practice."

I thought to myself that this guy is not even as good as Zhao Dekai, so what's wrong with him?

But I just thought about it in my heart, but didn't say it, just nodded silently.

Liu Shangang, who was sitting next to me, asked the old lady: "Then, where does Cao Hongbin live?"

The old lady said: "He lives on the top floor of Unit 3, Donghu. The Unit 3 is the most vigilant unit in the entire Cao family building. It is not that easy for you to get in."

Liu Shangang didn't answer the conversation, and ran to the window, stretched his neck out of the window and looked out, and after a while, he said to me: "Let's go to the roof."
