Chapter 25: Waiting

  A black Mercedes slowly drove into the Jiubushan villa area, Sun Yaozu had already received the news in advance and rarely wore a suit to personally run to the door to greet him. For this father, Sun Yaozu has always been a little afraid.

  The Mercedes-Benz came to a smooth stop, and the butler hastily stepped forward to open the car door. Zhou Jian was lurking at the window on the second floor, observing everything through the blinds. He knew that the master had finally arrived.

  "Father." Sun Yaozu called out respectfully.

  "Hmm." Sun De Guang nodded, seeing that everything in the house was normal, his heart had already put down half of its worries.

  Sun De Guang walked straight to the second floor with Ba Yu, "Hello Mr. Sun." The two people at the gate of Jin Guang saw Sun De Guang and greeted him, but they didn't go out to meet him, instead they stayed on the second floor.

  "You two have been working hard, has there been anything unusual these past few days?"

  "Everything is fine."

  "Ah, good, then I'll continue to trouble the two of you. Let me introduce this gentleman from Thailand, Ba Yu Ba Da Feng." Sun De Guang said, pointing to a dark and thin middle-aged man behind him.

  Ba Yu? Ba Da Feng... The two masters of the Golden Light Gate were not bounty hunters, and they didn't know much about Ba Yu. However, from the start, they noticed the middle-aged man standing beside Sun De Guang. His gaze was as cold and sharp as a poisonous snake's, and although he just stood there, he constantly emitted an aura of danger and killing intent.

  This person... is absolutely a master.

  "Hehe, the safety of our home is now in your hands. I've asked Ya Zu to prepare a family feast, firstly to thank the Li brothers from Jin Guang Men for protecting us these days, and secondly to welcome Mr. Ba Yu back home. Ya Zu..." Sun De Guang said, turning around to speak to his son.

  "It's Dad, they're already serving dishes in the kitchen, and we can start the banquet in five minutes."

  "Hmm." Sun De Guang nodded in satisfaction, this small matter was still no problem for his son. "So let's wait five minutes, both masters. Later, Mr. Ba Yu will be working with you together, I want him to take a look at the things inside the safe."

  "Good." The two brothers stepped aside from the safe, and it was only natural that their employer returned to check.

  Sun De Guang took out the key to the safe, then turned the combination lock and opened the safe. The thick green iron door was pulled open, revealing a white inner door inside. Sun De Guang placed his finger on it, allowing the infrared scanner to scan his fingerprint. With a soft click, the inner door automatically popped open, and in the enclosed space inside the safe, a black notebook sat neatly.

  Sun De Guang took out his laptop, turned it on, and after entering the operating system, he opened the only folder inside, entered a password to decrypt it, and found twelve UC videos neatly stored inside.

  Zhou Jian's pupils constricted as he watched this scene unfold, and the notebook actually had twelve UC videos. Were these videos real? Had he just been overthinking things?

  Looking at Sun Deguang's serious appearance, the UC video looks very real. Of course, it is also possible that Sun Deguang deliberately pretended to mislead others. For such a cunning and wealthy businessman, even his subordinates may not believe him.

  Sun De Guang opened one of the UC videos, and a bunch of 3D molecular structure models of organic compounds popped up on the screen, with the "sticks" representing chemical bonds constantly breaking and recombining.

  The video lasted less than ten seconds, Sun Deguang closed the video file with satisfaction, put the laptop back in the safe, and locked it layer by layer.

  "Thanks for your trouble, Li brothers! After the task is completed, Sun will definitely thank you heavily."

  The eldest of the Li brothers clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Sun, rest assured, with my two brothers here, there will definitely be no mistakes."

  "Let's go and have dinner," said Sun De Guang, leading the Li brothers and Ba Yu towards the dining hall, leaving behind two bodyguards to continue guarding the safe.

  Zhou Jian crouched behind the potted plants in the corridor, and if he wanted to, he could knock down the two bodyguards within a few seconds, then put the safe into his luggage compartment and escape through the window.

  Zhou Jian didn't know much about organic chemistry to begin with, so he couldn't tell what was real or fake. Moreover, Sun Deguang only showed a 10-second video clip - who knows what's behind it? It could even be a Japanese AV.

  Zhou Jian is not Zhuge Liang, and he can't guess the truth from falsehood. In fact, even if Zhuge Liang were reborn, it would be useless in this matter. Modern people are more difficult to understand than ancient people, who were simpler. During the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao fled in defeat and came across a fork in the road. One path was a broad, quiet road, while the other was a narrow, winding road with rising smoke. It seemed safer to take the broad road, but easier to be ambushed on the narrow one. Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Zhuge Liang, you think I'm afraid of being ambushed on the small road and will take the big road? But I'll take the small road instead!" As a result, Zhuge Liang had anticipated Cao Cao's suspicious nature and set an ambush on the small road. Cao Cao fell into the trap and was intercepted by Guan Yu at Huarong Road. Later, when Guan Yu returned, Zhuge Liang didn't ask him whether Cao Cao took the big or small road, but instead wanted to congratulate him on his victory, showing how confident he was.

  If this were to happen in modern times, Zhuge Liang would have a 50% chance of being deceived. The truth is that the false is true and the true is false. When drawing ghost cards, the dealer tells you that the left hand is the ghost card, so do you draw from the left or right hand?

  Normally speaking, the card dealer should be bluffing, but in fact his right hand is the ghost card.

  You guessed that the card dealer was lying and deliberately did the opposite.

  The card shark guessed you'd guess he was bluffing, so he did the opposite and told the truth.

  You guess the card shark will guess you guessed he's lying, so he'll intentionally tell the truth...

  This will go on indefinitely, so if modern people were to play the role of Cao Cao, they would probably have to use a coin toss to decide which road to take because their thoughts are too complicated. If modern people were to play the role of Zhuge Liang, they would definitely set up ambushes on both roads, making it impossible for you to choose either one without losing out.

  Zhou Jian couldn't see clearly what was real and what wasn't, so he chose to wait. If he really couldn't see Sun De Guang's other moves, he would turn to stealing the safe.

  Both roads have ambushes, so it's always right.

  Sun De Guang calmly finished his lunch, and then he even had the mood to ask Sun Yao Zu about his MBA course. Sun Yao Zu answered with a bitter face, and the result was predictable. Sun De Guang was very dissatisfied and scolded his son severely.

  Sneaking around beside him, Zhou Jian waited patiently. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon now. Zhou Jian, who hadn't eaten all day, was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back.

  In the evening, Sun De Guang continued to have dinner. At 7 o'clock, Sun De Guang opened the TV on time and watched the Hong Kong news.

  At 7:30, Sun Deguang arrived at the study and began to review documents.

  At 8:30, Sun Deguang came to the balcony and began to tend to his flowers with great interest.

  At 9:00 sharp, Sun Deguang called his subordinates to listen to their reports on the recent situation of the hotel and the heavy machinery factory.
