"This is a Japanese diary I found in a room. The owner of the diary is Sun Pingkuan... I don't know how to describe the content inside, you can read it for yourselves," said Zhang Hao.

Hao Xie and Fatty Wang put their heads together and started reading the diary.

There wasn't much in the diary, just a few entries, and they finished reading it in two or three minutes.

Their reaction was the same as Zhang Hao's before. They felt an indescribable fear and a chill down their spine.

They can detect the owner's emotional changes from these diaries.

"This Sun Pingkuan was very disdainful of the people in the prison upstairs at first, but later..." Fatty Wang didn't know how to describe this feeling.

"Assimilation, he seems to have been assimilated." Zhang Hao slowly uttered two words.

This is exactly what Fatty Wang wanted to say.

"Yes, his sanity seems to collapse bit by bit, and he seems to hear someone calling him. Could it be those people upstairs that he looked down upon at the beginning?" Hao Xie asked.

"And why did he use the word 'human beings' when referring to people? Isn't he a human being? Did he no longer consider himself a human being when he wrote this diary?" The thought was so terrifying that no one dared to speculate any further.

If you have any questions now, you can only keep them in your heart. If you talk too much, you may bring in subjective thoughts during the investigation, which is fatal.

"Where is your third uncle's ID photo? Let me see it." Zhang Hao said.

The ID photo shows that Wu Sansheng started working in 1995, and his assistant has been with him for more than years. So, if we ask the assistant directly, will we get other clues?
Several people went downstairs with doubts, but unfortunately, they did not get the answers they wanted.

"I don't know... I just stayed at the Wu family at that time. You should have heard that when Mr. Wu was young, he was more fond of playing and running around the world. I couldn't catch up with him even if I wanted to. So I stayed at home for the first few years after I got to live with him. I really started to follow him every day when he took over the company... It seems to be..."

The assistant frowned, thought for a few seconds and then said, "It should be 99."

Zhang Hao remembered the dates of those photos, and the latest was 99. In other words, when the assistant was with Uncle San, he might have stopped working at the Natural Resources Bureau, or the Natural Resources Bureau no longer existed!

Seeing that the clue was about to be interrupted again, Hao Xie was unwilling to give up. He went upstairs to pack his things, took the car keys and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Hao stopped him and asked.

"I'm going to find my second uncle."

"Your second uncle!" Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment and found that there seemed to be this person in his memory, but he was not introduced by Zhang Hao, but he already knew him.

Wu Erwei is also a powerful character. Wu Sansheng is in charge of things in the open, while Wu Erwei is in charge of things in the dark. In a way, he is more terrifying than Wu Sansheng.

"Goodbye, you haven't talked to your second uncle much in these years, and your second uncle may not like you." Fatty Wang came up and persuaded.

The assistant also said, "Mr. Er has been very busy recently. There was a problem with the gang in the south of the city. Many people died. Now both the black and white worlds are looking for trouble with him."

"His brother is missing, doesn't he care? Can't I go and ask him?" After saying this, Hao Xie rushed out without giving anyone else a chance to stop him.

There was no choice but for Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang to keep up.

His second uncle was indeed a powerful figure. With so many people dead, it should have been reported in the social news long ago, but there was no mention of it in the news at all.

It is said that Wu Erwei used money to appease all the dead and injured people, and then let his people investigate secretly. Now there seems to be some clues, and it is a critical moment.

Hao Xie got this information from Huo Xiuxiu on the way there.

During the time Huo Xiuxiu came back, she had already mastered most of the intelligence about the major families, and her life had returned to normal. However, she still missed the days she spent with Zhang Hao from time to time.

Huo Xiuxiu advised Hao Xie not to go, but Hao Xie could no longer care about that.

When he thought about the possibility that his life might soon be over, he had to sort out everything he cared about.

"If you want to go, go ahead. Remember to tell Xiaohua. He is also in the south of the city now." Huo Xiuxiu said.

"Xiaohua? Is it Jieyuhua?" Familiar names kept appearing, but Zhang Hao became more and more nervous.

"Yes, it's him. That's all for now. I'm hanging up. Don't worry about me." Hao Xie said as he put away his phone.

Wu Erwei's home is not far from here, just two hours' drive away.

Zhang Hao saw many luxury cars parked outside his house, and some people wearing floral shirts or black suits standing next to the cars. They were obviously bodyguards.

Considering what happened here recently, Zhang Hao felt that today might not be the right time to come.

He was just about to persuade Hao Xie to come back tomorrow, but he didn't expect Hao Xie to rush in. He was very familiar with this place, and the gatekeeper would not stop him.

When Zhang Hao walked in, he saw Hao Xie sitting on the sofa, a man opposite him was smoking a cigar, and there were three people kneeling on the ground.

Looking at the gold chains around their necks and the watches on their wrists, you can tell that these people are also big shots, but in front of Wu Erwei, they can only kneel down to speak.

Wu Erwei is reminiscing about the past with Hao Xie.

"You came too suddenly, and your uncle hasn't prepared anything to entertain you." Wu Erwei said in a kind tone.

But Zhang Hao could feel that this person had a very strong aura.

“It’s okay. I know you’re busy lately, Second Uncle, and I don’t plan to disturb you for too long.” Hao Xie responded.

"Don't worry, Xiao Liu, prepare some snacks and tea!" Wu Erwei waved to his men.

Hao Xie lost his patience and stood up and walked to Wu Erwei: "Second Uncle, can you tell me about Third Uncle's past?"

When they heard the word "Third Uncle", the three people who were kneeling on the ground trembled.

Who doesn't know that Wu Sansheng is missing? If they get involved in this matter at this juncture, they will be in big trouble. They are already in trouble, so it is naturally impossible for them to get involved at this juncture.

The bald leader said, "Second Mr., we'll leave today... Let's talk about the previous things next time."

Wu Erwei waved his hand lazily and sent them away without even looking at them.

After everyone left, Wu Erwei turned his attention to Zhang Hao.

"Are these two people from the inn? I guess this must be Boss Han."

The other party was Hao Xie's elder, so Zhang Hao was also polite to him.

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you during your busy schedule."

"Don't bother me, please sit down and have a cup of tea together."

“Second Uncle! Why didn’t you answer the question I asked you just now?” Hao Xie asked.

"Is it necessary to answer?" When Wu Erwei said this, it was tantamount to admitting that he had been trying to change the subject.

He didn't want to mention Wu Sansheng.

"I just want to ask you what kind of job your third uncle was doing in the 1990s." Hao Xie continued.

"My relationship with him was not very good at that time, I don't remember it." Wu Erwei said perfunctorily.

How could I not remember it if I was lying? In the final analysis, I just didn't want to say it.

Hao Xie had a cold face and didn't bother any more. He took Zhang Hao and Wang Pangzi away. Before leaving, Zhang Hao politely nodded to Wu Erwei. Wang Pangzi and Hao Xie were of the same mind and followed them carelessly. He didn't seem to care about these rules.

After returning to Wu Sansheng's villa, Hao Xie didn't even eat, and went back to the upstairs room to observe the photos.

As he looked at them, Hao Xie suddenly discovered that a certain building appeared repeatedly in a set of photos taken in December 1994.

Only one spire of the building is exposed, but the different angles show that the same sky was photographed from the same place.

The time is from December 7th to December 21st.

Did the person who took the photo remain at that spire position during this time?
This is the only building that appears in all the photos so far. Hao Xie gave the photo to Zhang Hao and discussed with him about finding out the location in the photo, perhaps they could get a clue.

Zhang Hao recognized the place at a glance.

They had passed by here before when they went out with Han San.

This is a landmark tower at the foot of the Furong Sect!

"I know where this is." said Zhang Hao.

"You know?" Hao Xie didn't expect the information to come so easily and simply, and couldn't help but laugh, "That's great, shall we set off now?"

"I can go, but there is one thing you must do," said Zhang Hao.

"What?" Hao Xie asked.

"Go to sleep." As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he reached out and patted Hao Xie gently on the forehead.

Hao Xie lost consciousness instantly. Zhang Hao caught his body, threw him directly onto the bed, and wrapped him in a quilt.

Zhang Hao was also extremely tired and fell asleep beside him.

Fatty Wang came in half an hour later, holding three cups of instant noodles.

Seeing that they were both asleep, he thought for a while and then sat on the floor and ate all three cups of instant noodles.

He rubbed his belly contentedly and fell asleep soundly on the dusty cashmere floor.

Hao Xie slept for more than ten hours and when he woke up he felt weak and dizzy.

"Why do I feel so depressed? What did you do to me..." He stared weakly at Zhang Hao who was sitting on the bed playing with his mobile phone.

Without even looking up, Zhang Hao responded, "I just let you sleep. You don't have any strength now because you're hungry! Fatty originally brought in some instant noodles, but when he saw that we were both asleep, he ate them all by himself. Now he has a stomachache. Get up, let's go downstairs to eat."

As the saying goes, man is iron and rice is steel, and he will be hungry if he doesn't eat for a meal.

Hao Xie had been hungry for so long, and his body was already weak, so his steps were unsteady when he went downstairs.

In contrast, Zhang Hao walked steadily and whistled, as if nothing had happened.

"Have you eaten?" Hao Xie asked.

"No, I've been waiting for you to wake up. I thought you only needed a few hours of sleep, but you slept for seventeen hours. You really can sleep a lot."

"I don't think you're hungry at all."

"I'm not really hungry, but I still have to eat."

With Zhang Hao's current physical condition, he can basically survive without food, relying solely on spiritual energy. But Zhang Hao always thinks that he is a normal person. How can he still be considered a human being if he doesn't eat?
The kitchen aunt brought the freshly prepared food to the table. Zhang Hao said, "Young Master, I may have to stay at the company for the next few days. It's too chaotic over there right now. If there are any important decisions, I may call you and let you make the decision."

Hao Xie understood that he wanted to shirk responsibility, so he didn't make things difficult for him. After all, for some things, it would be unreasonable for an assistant to make decisions.

"Got it. Keep in touch anytime. You go and get busy first."

During the meal, Hao Xie asked about the building in the photo again. Zhang Hao had already sent a message to Fu Rong when Hao Xie fell asleep.

Fu Rong also responded immediately, saying that he could accompany them and even help inquire about the origin of the tower or the stories about the clouds nearby. Now this matter is still in progress, and it will probably be almost done when Zhang Hao and the others get there.

After dinner, the three of them set off again. This time, Hao Xie drove the high-end SUV in Wu Sansheng's garage.

Sitting in the back seat, Hao Xie touched the seat and smiled bitterly.

"I've long wanted Uncle San to let me drive this car, but he just wouldn't agree. I didn't expect that now that he's gone, I'm the one driving it myself..."

Zhang Hao sighed, thinking that he shouldn't have been allowed to drive this car. The sight of the car reminded him of the man who once lived there.

They drove south for more than two hours before arriving at the foot of Furong Mountain.

Fu Rong looked the same as before. Although the sect had been badly damaged after being severely injured by the Demon King, most of the disciples had left and now there were only about 200 people left, but his face looked normal, as if this loss had no effect on him.

What Fu Rong cared about most was the life of that female disciple.

"Long time no see, you look much better." As soon as Fu Rong saw Zhang Hao, she could tell from his expression that he was no longer as cold as before.

I used to think that this person was difficult to get along with, but now it seems that what he calls difficult to get along with depends on the person. He is not like this when he is with his friends.

"Where is that tower?" Zhang Hao asked.

"It's in a village behind. The tower was built in the 1970s for flood control. It's corroded now. I heard it will be demolished soon. If you come two months later, you might not be able to see it."

The road in the mountains was difficult to walk on, and it had just rained two days ago, so there was mud everywhere. It might not be possible to drive back after driving in, so they traveled light and walked along the path.

As they walked, Zhang Hao started talking about Fu Rong's recent situation.

"What do you think now? Should this sect continue to operate?"

"Now I have more than one person's expectations on my shoulders. I have to do something."

"You mean... now we are in a dilemma?"

"It's not necessary to say that, but sometimes I feel sad when I think of that person, and then I hate myself for my own incompetence."

Having said this, Fu Rong lowered his head and laughed. There was sarcasm in his laugh, as if he was only mocking himself.

"I'm waiting for you to do something. If you and the Demon Lord are destined to fight, I will definitely stand behind you and provide you with strength. But I won't die early... I have to find a way to survive to the end of this life that I have finally saved."

Zhang Hao and Fu Rong walked forward while talking, but Hao Xie and Fatty Wang behind them noticed that they mentioned the Demon Lord.

It turns out that the leader of this small sect is actually related to the Demon Lord!

After entering the village, the villagers were very wary of these uninvited guests, but with Fu Rong leading them, they did not cause them any trouble.

The old people moved their stools and left, and the street suddenly became deserted.

"Look here, there are only some old people left."

"Yes, the place is too remote, and there are no ways to make money nearby. Young people can only go out. It's just in front, let's go." (End of this chapter)
