The first stop is Changsha.

Because according to what Fatty and Wu Xie had inquired about, the bald Brother Chu who had gone to Changbai Mountain to catch the lama might know something that Yuyan didn't know.

So they planned to go and ask Brother Chu first.

Brother Chu is worthy of being a brother. Even though he is in prison, he still wants to seek benefits for himself first.

But it was also expected. Yuyan nodded slightly and signaled the waiter to state his conditions.

"Miss, he said he wants 100,000 yuan, and he only wants to see Mr. Wu. He wants to talk to Mr. Wu in person."

Wu Xie, who was sitting on the side and being called, instantly attracted everyone's attention and quickly shook his head; "I don't know why he is looking for me, I have nothing to do with him!"

Yuyan laughed and said, "I didn't say you had any relationship with him. Keep talking. I don't believe his two words."

As she spoke, Yuyan turned to look at the waiter.

The guy nodded and took out a photo from his pocket. "Brother Chu asked me to bring something. He said that after Mr. Wu sees this, he will definitely go to see him."

Looking at the old photos on the coffee table, Wu Xie got goose bumps all over his body.

His complete involvement in this farce began with the group photo taken before setting sail for the Paracel Islands.

Yuyan picked up the photo on the table and looked at it carefully, frowning and saying nothing.

This commotion made Wu Xie even more nervous, "Aunt, what's in the photo?"

Yuyan shook her head. "I don't know how to describe it. See for yourself."

After saying that, he put the photo on the table and handed it to Wu Xie.

The fat guy next to him was also curious and came over to take a look.

The photo should have been taken in an old house, with a very ordinary screen as the background.

The photo was very whitish and many details were unclear, but you could clearly see a figure standing upright behind the screen.

What makes people feel creepy is the person's standing posture. When ordinary people stand, there is always a shift in the center of gravity.

But the person in this photo is almost standing upright, with his shoulders slumped, giving people the first impression that he is hanging in mid-air.

Looking down, there is a deep scene on the left side of the photo. Half of the corridor behind the screen is blocked, and several doors can be vaguely seen in the other half.

Turning the photo over, I saw Brother Chu’s notes on it - 1984, Golmud PLA Sanatorium.

This was filmed in the abandoned sanatorium in Golmud!

Wu Xie took a breath when he realized this. No wonder Brother Chu was so sure that he would go to see him.

After nodding at Yuyan, Wu Xie put the photo back on the table.

Yuyan knew that Wu Xie had already agreed to this, so she asked her men to go down and prepare.

The guy worked quickly. He came back to report in the morning and told Yuyan that the matter was done in the afternoon.

When they set off, Yuyan asked the others to stay at home and wait, and she took Wu Xie to Pingtang Prison.

Generally speaking, Fatty would not miss such an opportunity to hear the news, but Yuyan kept praising Fatty and Hei Xiazi for their delicious cooking, and expressed her desire to have a big meal cooked by the two of them for dinner.

That little mouth was like honey, coaxing the two of them into a daze, and in the end they volunteered to stay at home and cook.

As for Zhang Qiling, he refused to go if Yuyan told him not to, and he was very well behaved.

So before leaving, Yuyan gave Zhang Qiling a big hug.

Wu Xie had never been to prison, and Yuyan found it a little funny to see Wu Xie walking beside her.

After passing through several iron gates and before entering the lounge, Yuyan secretly placed a pinhole camera behind Wu Xie's collar button while she was fixing his collar.

"Okay, go ahead. Call me if you need anything. I'll be sitting outside waiting for you."

Wu Xie nodded, turned and walked in.

Yuyan opened the laptop she carried with her and began to observe the conversation inside.

Brother Chu has obviously lost weight, unlike his previous high-spirited self. Now even his bald head is not shiny.

There was silence for a while, and then Brother Chu asked about Wu Sansheng's situation first.

Wu Xie had been through so much and had become more cautious. He just briefly mentioned the situation in Changsha and that there was no news from Wu Sanxing, and then said nothing more.

"Retribution!" Brother Chu took a puff of the cigarette Wu Xie handed him. In the mist, he glanced at Wu Xie and asked, "Are you asking about Dumb Zhang?"

Wu Xie had never heard of this nickname before and was not able to react at first.

Brother Chu asked again: "He doesn't like to talk. People on the street call him that. Why are you asking about him?"

Wu Xie knew that Brother Chu was at his lowest point right now, so it was useless to say anything harsh. He just spoke kindly, "Brother Chu, you've been in the martial arts world for much longer than I have. You know there are some things I can't say."

Brother Chu took out another cigarette from Wu Xie's cigarette box, took a drag, and said sourly, "Oh, the Third Master is also playing polite words with me, fine."

Wu Xie didn't buy it and placed the 100,000 yuan receipt in front of Brother Chu. "The money has been paid to your father. Can you tell me now?"

After collecting the receipt, Brother Chu's expression suddenly changed, and he exhaled a puff of smoke, "Master San, you can't continue investigating."

Wu Xie didn't expect Brother Chu to say something like this. He sat up straight and asked seriously, "What do you know?"

Listening to Wu Xie's urging, Brother Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me a few things first."

"what?"

"You can't tell anyone else that I told you this information." After saying that, he glanced at the door and seemed to be trembling. "After all, I can also sell other people's information. If others find out, I'll be done to them after I get out..."

Brother Chu didn't finish his words, but Wu Xie already understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.

"Your Third Uncle and I have been friends for many years. I was the one who did a lot of things in the early years, so I know much more than you think."

I don’t know if it’s because of this year’s imprisonment that he became like this, or for some other reason, but he is still trembling.

"Your Third Uncle often mentions you. I know you're not a gangster, so I dare to sell you the information."

Yuyan snapped her fingers impatiently. This Brother Chu took too long to prepare for the conversation and didn't get to the point for a long time.

"Did your third uncle tell you about those people?"

Finally, there was something useful. Yuyan quickly put on the headphones she had just taken off.

"Your Third Uncle has spent his entire life investigating the whereabouts of these people. The more he investigates, the more he feels something is wrong. It's as if they are independent of this world and have no connection to society at all."

Wu Xie knew all this and urged Brother Chu to speak quickly.

"I tried to persuade him to give up, and after exhausting all options, he finally gave up. But a year ago, after returning from Shandong, he suddenly told me that Dumb Zhang was also one of the gang, and we reopened the investigation."

Yuyan sighed. She still hadn't heard anything useful...
