The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 301 Godfather Wang Hu Zi
Chen Xiao couldn't help but pause, hearing what Wang Huzi said.
However, Wang Huzi then hesitated, "Boss Chen, I'll say the unpleasant things first. I know where there is a spiritual artifact, but I don't have full confidence in getting it..."
Qi Tianhu frowned slightly and said, "Wang Huzi, stop beating around the bush. Quickly tell Boss Chen where the spiritual artifact is. As for whether we can get it, we need to know where it is first!"
Wang Huzi nodded, "Brother Hu is right. Boss Chen, to be honest, I heard my godfather say that he has a spiritual artifact in his hands..."
He paused for a moment, then corrected himself,
"I don't really understand this, so I'm not sure if it's really a spiritual artifact."
Before Chen Xiao could react, Qi Tianhu was taken aback and couldn't help but ask Wang Huzi.
"Your godfather? Could you be talking about Old Man Mo?"
Wang Huzi glared at Qi Tianhu, "Brother Hu, what are you saying? How many godfathers do I have? Who else could it be but Old Mo!"
Qi Tianhu took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "If it's something belonging to Old Mo, it might be a bit difficult..."
Wang Huzi was slightly stunned, "What do you mean by that, Brother Hu? You wouldn't be thinking of robbing him, would you..."
Qi Tianhu glanced around and said faintly, "Otherwise, where do you think these antiques I've collected came from?"
Wang Huzi was speechless for a while, then sighed, "Good heavens, I thought you were just a shady dealer, but I didn't expect you to be a robber!"
Qi Tianhu scolded with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense, as if you're some righteous person. Although there's a hint of forced buying and selling in these antiques of mine, I can guarantee that none of them are good people!"
Chen Xiao waved his hand and quickly interrupted the two's bickering.
"You two are getting off track. Hurry up and talk about something serious. What's the background of this Old Man Mo?"
Seeing Qi Tianhu's attitude, Chen Xiao knew that this Old Mo was no ordinary person.
Qi Tianhu glanced at Wang Huzi, "Huzi, Old Man Mo is your godfather, so you should introduce him."
Wang Huzi nodded and began to introduce him.
Old Mo's name is Mo Wentian, and his background is quite impressive. He used to be a first-rank high official in charge of a region!
After retiring, he built a unique and elegant residence in the deep mountains outside Jiangcheng, living a leisurely life.
Although he has now retired, his influence is still there.
After listening to Wang Huzi's introduction, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at him with new respect.
"Wang Huzi, you're something else, having such a big shot as your backer!"
Wang Huzi smiled sheepishly and said, "Boss Chen, don't misunderstand. Although he's my godfather, he's not my backer."
"My father used to be his subordinate and sacrificed himself to protect him. I was still young at the time, and my mother remarried. Old Mo was worried that I would be bullied in my new home, so he adopted me. In fact, you could say that I was raised by him."
"Although nominally he's just my godfather, in reality he's almost like my own father."
Hearing Wang Huzi's words, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh, so that's how it was.
But since Wang Huzi has such a good godfather, why does he still engage in shady dealings...
Although Chen Xiao was a little puzzled, these were not the main points, so he didn't ask in detail.
The main point was the spiritual artifact in Old Man Mo's hands.
He asked, "Wang Huzi, I'm asking you, what is the spiritual artifact in your godfather's hands?"
Wang Huzi said, "It's a guandao (a type of Chinese pole weapon)."
"Guandao?"
Chen Xiao was startled, and his eyes revealed infinite longing.
If that guandao was really a spiritual artifact as Wang Huzi said, then that would be great.
You should know that the guandao is a powerful weapon in ancient cold weapons, mainly for killing.
If it were used as a treasure to suppress the eye of the attack formation, it would be absolutely perfect.
As soon as he saw Chen Xiao's expression, Wang Huzi knew that he had scratched Chen Xiao's itch this time.
He immediately said ingratiatingly, "Boss Chen, I will do everything I can to get this guandao for you!"
"Well, if this guandao is really as you said, then I really have to thank you!"
Chen Xiao said without hesitation.
After hesitating for a moment, he said again, "How about this, I'll go with you to visit Old Mo, is that convenient?"
"Ah?"
Wang Huzi was shocked, then stammered, "Boss Chen, no matter what, Old Mo is my godfather. If I don't take you, it would be disloyal, but if I take you, it would be unfilial..."
Chen Xiao glared at Wang Huzi, "What are you thinking? I didn't say I was going to rob him, I said visit, visit, understand? You're really uncultured!"
"It would be best if we can get it, but if we can't, it would be good to make friends with your godfather."
Chen Xiao said so, but he was determined to get that guandao.
When Wang Huzi heard Chen Xiao say this, he finally felt relieved and grinned, "Okay, then Boss Chen, there's no time to lose, let's set off now."
Chen Xiao glared at him again.
"Don't you look at what time it is? The old man should have gone to bed long ago. You're really his godson, not considering the old man at all!"
Wang Huzi looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock, and the old man lived in the mountains. By the time they got there, it would be almost twelve o'clock, and the old man should have gone to bed.
"Boss Chen is still the most thoughtful!"
He patted his head and flattered Chen Xiao without leaving a trace.
Qi Tianhu suggested, "Boss Chen, why don't you sleep here tonight and set off from here tomorrow at dawn? It'll be closer."
This villa is close to the suburbs, making it easy to leave the city in the morning.
Chen Xiao thought about it and felt that what Qi Tianhu said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Although this villa is used as a warehouse for antiques, there are cleaners who come to clean it regularly, so it is very clean.
The bedding is also brand new, so there is definitely no problem sleeping.
Nothing happened overnight. The next day, before dawn, Chen Xiao got up and woke Wang Huzi and Qi Tianhu from their sleep.
After a simple breakfast, Chen Xiao and Wang Huzi set off by car.
Qi Tianhu was not familiar with Old Mo, so he didn't go with them.
The car quickly drove out of the city, then drove along the national highway for more than forty minutes.
They exited the highway at an intersection, then drove onto a winding mountain road. After turning a few corners, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
A quaint pavilion and residence appeared in Chen Xiao's field of vision.
Chen Xiao looked around and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Old Mo had chosen a good place for retirement.
This place has excellent feng shui. Living here all year round, even if it doesn't ward off all diseases, it will definitely prolong life.
