C1554 A Battle of Wits and Courage(2)
"Of course, I also feel the same resentment as you." Fann Binn nodded and said, "So I investigated this swindler doctor, and in the end, they were from the same village. Oh, it was a village called New House in the southernmost mountain area of Ping'an County. They found their hiding place. There, after I fought with them for a while, I caught the doctor who was the culprit and his son. However, at this moment... Something that shocked me so much happened."
"Incomparably shocked?" When Old Master Wu heard this, he frowned and said in a somewhat surprised manner, "To be able to say this word from your mouth is enough to prove that this matter is beyond your expectations. Furthermore, it is a major event."
"It shouldn't be a big deal to me, but to you, Old Master Wu. I'm afraid it is really a big deal." After saying that, Fann Binn revealed a meaningful smile. " What do you think I know? What a coincidence, I actually met your brother's descendant."
Old Master Wu's furrowed brows stiffened. He stared blankly at Fann Binn, who had a smile on his face. His brain had short-circuited and went blank. Very soon, his fair, old face showed obvious redness. He grabbed Fann Binn's hand excitedly and said with a trembling voice. "You, what did you just say?"
"Old Master Wu, do you think this is fate? The doctor who caused my future father to fall ill was not someone else. He is the son-in-law of your younger brother, who escaped from the Wu family. Your younger brother gave birth to a daughter and has always lived in this place called L Village. " Fann Binn knew that Old Master Wu would have such an expression, so he didn't find it strange at all. "Is it surprising? I also feel very surprised, but this is the truth. There's no other way. "
"My, my own brother... was actually found by you?" Old Master Wu really felt that it was unbelievable. In fact, Fann Binn knew very well in his heart. Originally, the old man had told him that he had never thought that he could really find his brother's whereabouts. He had been searching for him for decades, but he had not found him. How could Fann Binn find him so easily?
However, things were contrary to his wishes. Fann Binn's luck had always been extremely good. Furthermore, Old Master Wu had forgotten that this world wasn't straight, but round. As long as it was round. Everything was possible. Fann Binn happened to meet her in such a short period of time. This was inextricably linked to luck and fate. It was something you could always see, but not something you could not touch even if you wanted to. That was the reason.
"Whether you want to believe it or not, the truth is right in front of you" Fann Binn smiled and said, "At first, your brother's daughter was not willing to reveal her identity. It was only when I wanted to arrest her husband and son that I was forced to reveal my identity."
Old Master Wu's expression was very complicated. He looked at Fann Binn a few times. He coughed awkwardly and said, "This is unbelievable. I have been looking for someone who I have not found in decades. You actually... It's only been a few days! Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Should I say that your luck is too good for a blind cat to run into a dead mouse, or is it destined that you will find my younger brother for me?"
"Sigh, I never thought that my brother would hide in the deep mountains of Ping'an County. What a loss! I have been searching for him along the way to the north. No wonder I didn't find anything after so many years of searching. It seems that he has grasped my temper. He knows that I will definitely be discovered if I go north. Thus, he decided to go in the opposite direction and hide in the deep mountains. Hiding for the rest of his life. Sigh... It's fortunate that he can't hold it in."
"Even if he can't hold it in anymore, he has to hold it in. He knows that he will be caught the moment he appears. Naturally, he has to endure in the countryside. " Fann Binn noticed the unnatural expression on Old Master Wu's face and became even more certain of what he was thinking. He continued calmly, "Your brother never went out to practice medicine. He just worked in the farming industry and earned some money by treating the patients in the surrounding villages. Just like that, he built an old house in L Village that had a similar style to the Wu family. It was called the Wu residence."
"The Wu residence... Actually, he was still thinking about the Wu family." Old Master Wu couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I know that my two younger brothers are just too arrogant because of their medical skills and abilities. Actually, they are both people who deeply love the Wu family. After so many years, the grudges between us have already been resolved. I didn't look for him to settle the score with him. I just wanted to bring him to the Wu family to spend his old age peacefully. This could also be considered as an explanation to my parents. Unfortunately... I didn't expect him to pass away."
"Life and death is up to the heavens. Old Master Wu, you don't have to dig too deep into it." Fann Binn stared at him and said faintly, "Let's dig deeper into other problems."
When Old Master Wu heard this, he immediately revealed a bitter smile and said, "What? It seems like my brother's daughter and you have told me a lot of things."
"She didn't say much, but she naturally told me everything that I'm interested in." Fann Binn smiled and said, "First of all, she gave me the secret prescription of medicine that belonged to the Wu family after I went missing for decades. Second of all, the secret prescription of the medicine that belonged to the ___. " She also told me about the Tang Sect's secret treasure. "
When Old Master Wu heard this, the bitter smile on his face became even stronger. He looked deeply at Fann Binn and sneered, "Oh? She also told you about the secret treasure? In that case, you should have gotten the secret treasure, right?"
Fann Binn didn't expect Old Master Wu to be so shameless and refuse to admit it at this time. He couldn't help but suppress his temper and laugh coldly. " No, she said that her father never took the secret treasure of the Wu family. In other words, the Tang Sect's secret treasure of the Wu family has never been touched by the Wu family! "
" Ah? It can't be, right? He didn't take it? Then why did the secret treasure disappear?" Old Master Wu pretended to be surprised," How is this possible? "
" It might not be possible, how could you not know? " Fann Binn finally couldn't help but sneer and say, "I don't believe that you wouldn't investigate all the valuable treasures of Wu family immediately after your brother ran away. Although the Tang Sect's secret treasure didn't know its value, it was still a treasure passed down from the ancestors. Why don't you pay attention to it carefully? "
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm lying to you? " Old Master Wu said with dissatisfaction, "Fann, I have made it very clear. That year, when my brother ran away, I was the first one to grasp the valuable items of the Wu family. That was why I found out that the secret treasure was missing at the first possible moment. There was no doubt about it. However, I didn't find any trace of the secret treasure, so it was true that the secret treasure was no longer in the Wu family. "
Fann Binn didn't expect Old Master Wu to be unwilling to tell the truth at this moment. It was only now that he realized... It turned out that the secret treasure of Wu family was so important to Old Master Wu, so important that he could lie through his teeth. For a moment, Fann Binn couldn't help but have an illusion in his mind. Could it be that the secret treasure of the Wu family really wasn't in the Wu family?
No, this was impossible! He quickly rejected the idea in his heart. If Old Master Wu's younger brother did not take it away... The secret treasure must be in the Wu family! How could such an important treasure passed down from his ancestors be stolen by someone so easily under strict secrecy? Except for Old Master Wu's younger brother, no one else had the ability to do so! Therefore, as long as Old Master Wu's younger brother didn't take it, he would definitely be in Wu family!
"Old man, you have to think clearly about the secret treasure of the Wu family... Is it really not in the Wu family?" Fann Binn looked at Old Master Wu seriously and frowned. " Old man, let's be frank. The Tang Sect's secret treasure belongs to the Wu family. The Wu family naturally has the right to not take it out. Wu Qi and I are considered half a The Wus when we are together. But I don't have the power and power to make the Wu family hand over the secret treasure."
"But this secret treasure is useless in the hands of you and the Wu family. It only has the function of inheritance and no practical use. I might as well take it out and give it to me. Because I really want this secret treasure. I'm not afraid to tell the old man that the eight major branches of the Tang Sect are only short of this secret treasure in your hands. The rest... are all in my hands. I need this secret treasure for my research, so no matter what price I have to pay... I am willing. As long as you are willing to trade this secret treasure as an item! "
Old Master Wu looked at Fann Binn and said with a gloomy face," I understand what you mean. You are determined to trade the secret treasure in Wu family, right? You don't seem to want to believe me? "
"It's not that I don't want to believe it, but the truth is unbelievable." Fann Binn looked at Old Master Wu and said lightly, "Old man, if it were you, you would believe in an important secret treasure of Wu family. Would you let someone else steal it? Who else besides your brother has that ability? If any random thief could take away the secret treasure of the Wu family, perhaps a hundred years ago... The secret treasure must have disappeared without a trace, right?"
Old Master Wu looked at Fann Binn without saying anything.
Fann Binn saw his silence and knew that there was a chance! Silence was equivalent to tacit agreement. He immediately said with confidence. "Old man, no matter what request you make, as long as I, Fann Binn, can do what I can. I can satisfy you. Although your brother didn't take away the secret treasure of Wu family, he took away the secret prescription made from the precious herbs accumulated by the ancestors of Wu family. And this secret prescription, hadn't the Wu family always wanted to take it back? Today, I can let this secret prescription of the Wu family, which has been separated for decades, see the light of day once again. Return to the embrace of the Wu family! All of this is between your choices! "
" What did you say? " Old Master Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "My brother's daughter has already given you the secret recipe?"
"In order to keep her husband and son safe, she had to do this." Fann Binn smiled at Old Master Wu and said, "Don't worry. The secret recipe is under my care. It will be very appropriate and won't go missing for no reason."
Fann Binn's words were full of sarcasm. He was obviously making fun of Old Master Wu. How could Old Master Wu, who had lived to this age, not hear it? He could not help snorting coldly and said, "Fine. You are good at sarcasm, and you also know how to use the bargaining chips in your hands. If my guess is correct, you planned to use the secret prescription of the Wu family from the very beginning. You came to ask me to exchange for a secret treasure, right? But you seem to have forgotten that the secret prescription is something of the Wu family. You have no right to bargain with me here!"
