Pure Darkness

Chapter 110

“My wife noticed that you have mud in your boots, and that mud splashed all over your pant legs. Yesterday, the rain during the day was not heavy. The rain started at the beginning of the night. At midnight, the rain stopped. Today, the sky was clear and the ground was all dry. In order for there to be so much mud in your boots, you had to go out last night. Recently, there was no major incident in Jianghu, and nothing happened last night. I think the probability of an event requiring the boss of the Buddha Hand to come out in the middle of the night to investigate it is very small. Most likely a subordinate was sent.

Oi! I am an article!

Moreover, looking at this inn, courtyard, and furniture, his boss was someone with good taste, who was neat and attentive to details. He would definitely not go out to meet the guests without first clearing the mud from his boots.

You have oily fingers and your body smells of food. Do you want me to explain? You are called to meet us while you are eating your steamed Bread and do not have time to wipe your fingers. Will the members of the Buddha Hand dare to treat their own bosses like this? Even if I wanted to meet with myself, Smiling Snake, I would not refuse to let my boss finish eating.

Oi! I am an article!

There is no need to say too much about other things. You stopped a lot as you spoke, and I guess you looked to Sheng ge, unable to decide what to do; you drank this first-rate Tieguayin tea with a big gulp, You did not know what to do, I've heard your drinks are noisy; you've lost your patience and let your subordinates point their weapons at me. All of this . . . is inconsistent with what a true boss should be.”

Kun ge's eyes grew bigger, but Qin Sheng laughed. Jian Yao was still a little anxious – Bo Jinyan showed off her abilities very clearly, and she did not know if this would be a blessing or a disaster. . . .

“Then, what do you think the real boss is like?” A low and soft voice sounded from behind everyone.

Zhao Kun and Qin Sheng were both shocked, and the others holding weapons looked worried. The person raised their hands, prevented them from speaking, and walked slowly. Zhao Kun immediately stood up and offered his seat. That person sat down casually and looked at Bo Jinyan, who was sitting opposite him.

Oi! I am an article!

Even as Jian Yao's heart leaped uneasily, he carefully assessed the man.

He looked to be only 32 or 33 years old, very tall, and just plain looks. However, his eyes were very dark and brilliant. She was wearing a long tunic with no lines made of linen, with linen pants, and her hands were very slim and beautiful. He seemed to have an indescribable temperament. Can someone say that he looks vicious? Not at all, he even looked very calm. However, does one feel that he gets along easily? No, not at all. He was obviously very quiet, but staring at him would cause one to tremble in fear.

Bo Jinyan unhurriedly tapped her finger on the chessboard, then she smiled.

He said, “True boss, the boss I will follow, Smiling Snake, should be calm and firm, with a strong determination. He would plan and execute his plans from afar, without the need to spend the night personally running around and becoming muddy. He was cautious and it was not easy to trust people. However, once his confidence is gained, then it will be an easy voyage to a high position* and great ambitions*. On the other hand, if someone betrays him, then he will be cruelly hunted* and left to die without a proper grave*.

*T/N (qing yun zhi shang) – lights up. ride straight up in clear sky; (cheng feng po lang) – lights up. dare to face the wind and waves, have high ambition; (gan jin sha jue) – lit. to kill the last, to exterminate, cruel; (si wu zhang shen zhi in) – lit. die without burial place/ die as a poor man.

He has very good taste. Although I could not see, I thought his clothes, how he presented himself, his temperament, would be very different from these reckless fools.

In these past ten years, the Buddha Hand was able to rise rapidly to become the strongest organization in the southwest. In addition, the police were completely unable to figure out his routine and methods. Bosses must have extraordinary intelligence, perception, patience, and ferocity, to be able to achieve this.”

Qin Sheng sneered and said, “Omong blank this . .” Before he could finish speaking, the man glanced at him and he was silent. When Zhao Kun, who was next to her, saw this, he could not help but laugh before chiding her gently, “Stupid .” People praise bosses, and you call them crap, isn't this the saying boss isn't so great right in front of him? If it's not stupid, then what is it?

The man smiled slightly and extended his hand to Bo Jinyan. “I Hand Buddha.”

Since Bo Jinyan could not see, her hands naturally did not move. In a surprising gesture, Buddha Hand patiently said, “Let's shake hands.”

Bo Jinyan reached out her hand and shook hands with the man. His voice showed his excitement as he said, “I. . I Smile Snake.”

Jian Yao watched silently from beside him.

Who knew that the Buddha Hand would look at him and ask, “Who is this?”

Bo Jinyan smiled faintly and placed her hand on her shoulder. “My woman, my eyes. She has been with me ever since I drifted to jianghu, my only dear beloved.”

In fact, Bo Jinyan had spoken such words before in bed. However, Jian Yao did not expect him to enter into ‘Smiling Snake Mode’ and channel his personality, saying words so freely and naturally with a hint of uncontrollable shock. Still, he managed to smile coldly and nodded his head acknowledging the Buddha Hand while saying, “Bos.” He maintained his personality as a cold-faced female assassin.

Buddha's hand laughed and said to Bo Jinyan, “Wah, while drifting with her, did you also drift into bed?”

Bo Jinyan laughed out loud as she continued to hold onto Jian Yao's waist tightly, giving the impression that she was very unsettled by the implications, and at the same time, was very fond of Jian Yao.

Buddha's hand asked, “Where is it?”

Bo Jinyan replied, “On the page where we stayed last night. Facing west and digging about two and a half feet. You will find it.”

Buddha's hand looked at Zhao Kun, then he immediately left, bringing some people with him. Buddha's hand smiled faintly and said, “You have brought me something I want. The Buddha's hand had the heart of Buddha and I always made a clear distinction between reward and punishment, gratitude and resentment. What do you expect as payment?”

Bo Jinyan was silent for a while before smiling slowly. Jian Yao also smiled faintly with him.

“I hope . .” said Bo Jinyan, “to stay in the Buddha's Hands and rise quickly to a high position, to go wild.”

——

Jian Yao asked, “Will he trust us?”

Bo Jinyan replied, “If she doesn't trust us, we'll die now. In fact, if they had the slightest suspicion about us, we would have been dead several times since we entered this inn. ”

Jian Yao recalled how he dealt with the gangster crowd earlier, and the honest assurance he had said. Everything feels like a dream. This guy, he really is not afraid in any situation, ‘run wild’ indeed. . .

Bo Jinyan suddenly changed the subject. “However, with the caution and seriousness that the Hand of Buddha used, someone should have been sent to investigate everything about me, Smiling Snake.”

Jian Yao was surprised. “What do we do now?”

“Oh . .” Bo Jinyan chuckled. “We're both missing, and the police are definitely looking for us right now. Moreover, the killing of the Smiling Snake, the destruction of his gang, the assault and drowning of Yue ge, these would all definitely be kept secret by the authorities, in order to avoid the enemy's warnings by accident. At this moment, suddenly, there were people asking about the Smiling Snake all over the place. Since Zhu Tao was able to obtain valuable information in the records, he was clearly intelligent. The gangsters on board not only did not die but were also captured by the police. Zhu Tao must have known that I was disguised as a Smiling Snake. Now, someone suddenly asked about the information about the Smiling Snake, what was displayed? Zhu Tao would definitely look through their plans, give them false information, then follow the instructions to find us. Lady Bo, we are safe.”

Huh huh? Jian Yao blinked a few times. In his opinion, this was not only not a bad thing, but even a good thing? Could this be part of his plan? This guy, even when making plans, he is a really perfect planner. He feels more comfortable. Taking Bo Jinyan's hand, she asked, “So, Mr Bo, what should we do now?”

Bo Jinyan squeezed her hand and casually said, “Mrs Bo, we will continue our pretexts as Smiling Snake and Venomous Snake and become part of the Buddha Hand. Before they know our true identity, we will find the masked killer who has hidden himself in the Buddha's Hands. He knows our faces, and he probably knows us by now. However, the masked assassin would never truly accept a position as someone else's subordinate. As a first-rate psychopathic serial killer, a villain like the Buddha Hand would seem to him nothing more than an idiot. Therefore, he would definitely not reveal his true identity to Buddha’s Hand. He will also have his doubts that prevent him from exposing our identity immediately. So, using the Buddha Hand to confront the masked killer, and betting to walk on the tip of the knife, is our way to survive.”

——

At the same time, someone was discussing about them.

In a small town, in an even more secluded building, the Buddha Hand sat at a table, quietly smoking. Four men sat on the sofa next to him. This was a secret place where the leaders of the Buddha Hand held their meetings; ordinary people were not allowed to enter at all.

Zhao Kun spoke up. “Ah Sheng, we both finally met them today, what do you think?”

Qin Sheng said, “That man is very intelligent, also cunning and heartless, but. . “

“But what?”

Qin Sheng smiled briefly. “I think he looks a bit stupid, and what he says is very stupid. There's a false naivety, haha. ”

Zhao Kun also laughed. He looked at the Buddha's Hand and noticed that a small smile was on its back at the corner of his mouth.

“Ah Kun, when you came back last night, you suggested to kill them. Now what do you think?” The Buddha asked.

Zhao Kun was sitting on the arm of the sofa, his arm behind his head, and leaning against the wall. He replied, “No need to kill him, he is not a cop.”

Of the other two men who remained silent, one was in his thirties, with pale skin, and a clean and bright appearance. However, he was dressed in leather, his hair was dyed blonde, and his temperament was extremely cruel and stubborn. He hummed softly, then coldly asked, “How can you be sure?” This man's name is Gu An. Among those present, he and Zhao Kun were the most ruthless and stubborn, so they disliked each other.

The other person was only 27 or 28 years old, a thin man in black clothes named Zheng Chen. Among those present, he was the only one carrying a gun, and he sat closest to the Buddha's Hand. No matter what people said, he was firmly staring at the table in silence with his eyes half closed, as if he was asleep.

Facing Gu An's hesitation, Zhao Kun simply smiled and said, “Even if I tell you, you won't understand. Do you really not trust our boss' judgment? ”

Gu An glared at him coldly then looked at the Buddha Hand.

Although he was identified as the Hand of Buddha, his name in jianghu was Song Kun. He turned off his cigarette and said, “Ah Kun is right, they are not cops. In the past few years, out of all the secret agents we met, which one of them was not humble and humble*? They may work hard to progress, but they will never expose their sharp edge, their dangerous qualities. Are any of them like this Smiling Snake, greedy, heartless, and selfish? He may be blind, but he's smarter than all of you. Her personality is too prominent.” He smiled and said, “Ah Sheng is right, he is a little naive in his belief in his infallibility, and his EQ does not seem to be very high. But, it was precisely because of this that I dared to take advantage of this person. If a person has no flaws, making it difficult to understand his personality, then the person does not show his true self.

*T/N (jia zhe wei ba zuo ren) – on. being human with tail.

Qin Sheng, Zhao Kun, and Zheng Chen all nodded. Gu An smiled and said, “Bos is best at understanding things accurately.”

“But . .” Qin Sheng asked, “Hin' his eyes, is it really blind?”

Gu An said, “Isn't it as simple as bringing Wen Rong here and asking him about it?”

Wen Rong arrived immediately.

There was another empty sofa in the room. When Wen Rong entered, he greeted everyone with a slight smile, then sat down on the empty sofa. What Song Kun liked the most in recent years were these five subordinates, whom jianghu called ‘The 5 Luohans *’ of the Buddha Hand. He looked at Wen Rong and asked, The smiling “Ular has visited your clinic. Is he really blind?”

*T/N (luo han) – abbreviated form of (ah luo han). Refers to an arhat (Sanskrit), a saint who has renounced all worldly desires and concerns and attained nirvana (Buddhism).

Wen Rong took the cigarette Ah Kun offered and took a deep breath before raising his head to answer, “I did not check the specifics. However, it must be original. I carefully observed his attitude, his words and his actions, He cannot possibly pretend well. ”
