The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Xiao Hengyu snorted coldly and said, "One wrong word and you're done? You almost killed us, how are we going to settle this?"

The old man lowered his head and was silent for a while. His tone was full of determination: "I am willing to use my life to compensate you, as long as you don't disturb this place anymore."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

They didn't expect the old man to say such a thing. They thought he would make all kinds of excuses, but they didn't expect that he would rather die than guard the tombstone.

"We don't care about your life; we want the truth," Bo Jingzhou said. "What's so special about this tombstone that it's worth your family protecting it for generations?"

The old man raised his head, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally he slowly said: "Under this tombstone, buried is an ancestor who has done a great favor to our family. His identity is very special and cannot be known to outsiders. Our family has guarded this place for generations just to let him rest in peace..."

"As for who the benefactor was or what he did, my father never told me in detail. He just told me to guard the tombstone at all costs, not to let outsiders get close, and certainly not to let the peace inside be disturbed."

After hearing this, everyone was confused.

Who is this mysterious person?

This treasure was clearly left behind by the three major families.

So what is the connection between this mysterious figure and the three major families?

This old man seemed to know something, but not much.

Zhang Suo snorted coldly, his face full of disbelief, and said sarcastically, "Humph, it sounds nice, saying that the ancestors have done favors for the family. I think there must be a hidden secret hidden in this. Maybe the treasure is closely related to the owner of this tombstone."

At this moment, Bo Jingzhou suddenly coughed heavily, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and fell to the ground, which was particularly shocking.

Zhang Suo was startled and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Boss Bo, what's wrong with you?"

As he said that, he rushed over and asked anxiously.

Seeing this, Su Yutang was so frightened that her heart suddenly sank. She hurriedly took two steps at a time and went over to check on Bo Jingzhou's condition.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly vomiting blood?"

Bo Jingzhou waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it might be the injury I got down there just now..."

But just as he finished speaking, his eyes began to become unfocused, and his whole body seemed to have lost support and he suddenly fainted.

Zhang Suo was quick-witted and quick-handed, and quickly reached out to support the man.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Yutang hurriedly said to Zhang Suo, "Quick, send him in."

Zhang Suo nodded hurriedly, gritted his teeth, carried Bo Jingzhou on his back, and walked quickly towards the stone house not far away.

As he ran, he said, "Boss Bo, please don't get hurt. You must hold on."

Su Yutang also followed anxiously.

No one expected that Bo Jingzhou would suddenly faint. Judging from the situation, it was obviously not a simple injury.

The tense interrogation surrounding the old man came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's attention was drawn to Bo Jingzhou's condition.

Su Yutang and Zhang Suo rushed into the stone house. For a moment, only Xiao Hengyu and Nan Yu were left outside.

Xiao Hengyu was also seriously injured, and at the moment he felt unbearable pain all over his body. He had no time to care about Bo Jingzhou. To be honest, he wished Bo Jingzhou was dead, so he didn't bother to care about his life or death.

Nan Yu had to look at the old man. It was obvious that the old man was not honest, and it was hard to tell whether his words were true or false.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Hengyu suddenly walked towards the old man.

"Old man, because of you, we almost couldn't get out. It's also because of you that I didn't get the treasure! Now you've lost your usefulness, I'm going to kill you!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Hengyu's eyes. After that, he reached out and pulled out a gun from his waist, pointed it at the old man, and planned to kill him now to vent his anger.

Seeing this, the old man was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop: "Master Xiao, you...you really want to kill me?"

Xiao Hengyu sneered, "Oh, so you're afraid of death now? You manipulated the mechanism and wanted me to die down there. Tell me, what else do you want to live for? You dare to betray me? People like you deserve to die!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm helpless. I've told you everything I know. If you still want to kill me, go ahead." The old man closed his eyes, looking ready to die.

Nan Yu frowned and advised, "Xiao Hengyu, don't be impulsive. Killing him may not solve the problem, but if we keep him, we might be able to get something useful from him. When Bo Jingzhou wakes up, it won't be too late to interrogate him."

Although he didn't have a good impression of the old man, he felt that acting on impulse at this time was not a good idea. What if he could be useful if he kept him?

However, Xiao Hengyu seemed not to hear Nan Yu's words. He continued to stare at the old man. He had pulled out the gun in his hand, pointed the muzzle at the old man's head, and his finger was on the trigger.

Just the slightest movement and the bullet would be fired, and the old man would be dead.

Nan Yu continued, "And think about it, how did he set up that trap? Why did all the people who went down to look for the treasure disappear? Maybe this old man knows everything, but he just hasn't said it all yet. If we kill him now, these mysteries will be even more difficult to solve."

Xiao Hengyu frowned and snorted coldly, "Old man, if you really just want to protect the peace down there, then tell us everything you know. It will be better for everyone. We don't want to disturb that tombstone anymore, but I'm afraid I won't let it go until I figure out the secret behind it. When the time comes, I'll find out myself, and then it won't be as easy to talk to you as it is now."

After hearing what Xiao Hengyu said, the old man showed a hint of hesitation on his face. He gritted his teeth, as if making a difficult decision.

After a long while, he slowly said, "I... I do know something, but I'm also afraid that speaking out will cause more trouble."

Xiao Hengyu snorted coldly: "If you don't tell me, I'll let you know what real big trouble is right now!"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then finally, as if he had made up his mind, he steeled himself and lowered his voice, saying, "Okay, let me tell you, actually, there are some mysterious people sometimes hanging around down here. I don't know who they are, but I only see them occasionally. Those corpses... were probably disposed of by them. As for why, I guess they might have some use for them, or they might be engaging in some shady business. What exactly it is, I don't know."

"Mystery man?"

Xiao Hengyu frowned. There was actually a mysterious person operating in secret under this underground palace?

He looked at the old man again: "You really don't know those mysterious people?"

The old man shook his head vigorously: "I don't know them. I just made a deal with that group of people. I didn't ask about their actions or stop them. They spared my life..."

Xiao Hengyu put down the gun in his hand and fell into a fog again.

He glared at the old man with hatred. Although he had given up the idea of killing him, he still said viciously: "You are lucky today, so I will spare your life for now. But if you dare to play any tricks again, I will not show mercy!"
