306. Chapter 306 Uncle Anda
The mysterious woman knew that no matter what she said, she would only attract boredom. She threw down the statue and turned around and left. Before leaving, she left her last sentence, "Miss Gao, I still want to remind you. This mansion may not belong to your private name. Mayor Gao passed away, and these property will be taken back. Let's give you a week to consider whether to agree to Mayor Luo's conditions. Think about it, you are a lady of a noble family who will have no father or mother in the future and will have to live in a slum. What a sad thing that is?"
"Get out!" Gao Xiaoxiao finally burst out with a hysterical roar, and then she cried loudly in her arms while holding Gao Liang's statue.
Li Mu also circled around the statue a few times, thinking that the statue was really weird. And what is the origin of this mysterious woman? When it comes to Luo Zongquan, she said she was her friend. It can be seen that she is not a subordinate of Luo Zongquan, so she may be Lei Yunzhi's subordinate.
The primary issue at the moment is not to deal with Lei Yunzhi directly, but to deal with Luo Zongquan. Luo Zongquan colluded with Lei Yunzhi to kill Mayor Gao, but to prove this to the citizens of the city, one must come up with conclusive evidence. The citizens of Sighing City must stand on their own side, so that things will be easier to do.
Thinking of this, Li Mu felt that Gao Liang's statue was the only clue at the moment. He accidentally broke off one of the statue's fingers while Gao Xiaoxiao was not paying attention.
"What are you doing?" This action aroused Gao Xiaoxiao's anger again.
Li Mu didn't care either, but just observed the cross-section of the finger break. Sure enough, this sculpture is very similar to the stone fragments he used to be at the headquarters of the Human Alliance Army, and also has different materials and density inside and outside.
Suddenly, a terrible idea formed in Li Mu's mind, causing his hair to stand up immediately. These sculptures were not originally sculptures, they were living people. They were petrified. If you observe carefully, he found that these internal structures were very much like bones, while the external ones were muscles and skin. There were also some brown spots, and those were blood vessels.
This is a terrifying and uneasy news, but helplessly, Li Mu must tell Gao Xiaoxiao the truth.
Gao Xiaoxiao almost collapsed when she heard this news, and a dazed look appeared in her eyes. "Li Mu, save me, please save me." After she said this quietly, she hugged Li Mu's neck tightly. No matter what Li Mu did, she would not let go of her arm.
"Don't leave me, Li Mu, please don't leave me for a second."
It seems that the sudden incident of my affairs did scare the girl. Li Mu felt soft. "Okay, I won't leave you. If you want, just hold me like this, and you can hold me as long as you can."
It was already late at night and Hawley was still thinking about his family. Li Mu asked him to go home first.
Then, he carried Gao Xiaoxiao into her own bedroom, asked her to lie down and cover her with a quilt. Until now, Gao Xiaoxiao's hand is still tightly grasping Li Mu's hand.
Li Mu sat by the bed and kept accompanying her. Fortunately, the girl looked very cute when she was sleeping, so he didn't feel annoyed when she just sat like this.
Think about the mysterious woman just now, her every move and what she said. Her strength is absolutely strong and should be comparable to Li Mu. It is very likely that she is the person Ma Yiyi mentioned who possesses the gold ghost medal. If she wants to deal with Lei Yunzhi, she must deal with that woman in advance, otherwise she will be in trouble.
The night passed quickly. In the second half of the night, Li Mu and Gao Xiaoxiao fell asleep. They slept soundly until Gao Xiaoxiao shouted in fear and woke Li Mu up.
Gao Xiaoxiao had a nightmare. She opened her eyes and saw Li Mu sleeping beside her. She didn't care. She opened her eyes and hugged him tightly.
Holly arrived at the Gao family's mansion very early. His family was very safe and relieved. Next, we should help Li Mu solve the crisis in Sigh City as much as possible.
Three people were making it at the dining table, and the butler carefully prepared breakfast for them.
Li Mu asked Gao Xiaoxiao if there are any artists in this city who like to do sculpture, and maybe they can get more clues from them.
Gao Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully. She was not interested in sculpture, nor did she know if there were any artists, but she still remembered someone. She was a distant uncle named Anda, who was a rich man and a member of the Senate.
Xiaoxiao has been to his house several times and saw that he likes to collect artworks and has seen several statues. At that time, she was not very old and thought that her uncle was very interested in it. He always liked to collect terrifying artworks.
But strangely, the more she feared these works of art, the more curious she became about them. Every time she went to his house, Xiaoxiao would have nightmares for several days.
The three of them discussed and decided to go to her, the distant uncle, to their home today.
Compared with Gao Xiaoxiao's family, it can be seen that the Anda family is much more spacious. The exterior wall of the yard is very tall, and the front is a large iron door that has just been painted. The iron door can allow three cars to enter side by side at the same time. On the left is a security room, and there are four tall hunting dogs tied not far from the iron door.
These hounds obviously ate well, and their screams seemed particularly fierce.
In the yard is a small stone paved with small stones. There are many white stone statues on both sides of the road. From time to time, security guards wearing weapons walk around the road. In the depths of the yard, they can still vaguely hear the sound of running water.
Many times, the world is so unfair. The more you are in a poorer place, the more rich people are.
The security guard on duty informed the mansion and the big iron gate opened. Under the leadership of a security guard, the three of them walked along the path to the depths of the yard.
They saw gardeners pruning the various plants from time to time along the way. Many of the lushly-leaved short trees were trimmed into lifelike sculptures by these skilled craftsmen.
Three people were invited into the reception hall. The lobby was less than 100 square meters in area. A chandeliers composed of crystal transparent glass were hung on the high ceiling. The diameter of the main chandeliers exceeded the length of a high-end car, and some small chandeliers were dotted around them.
Around them are light yellow wallpaper inlaid with gold wire, there are many antiques in the room, and there are also specimens of heads of perverted monsters hanging on the wall. Some of the monsters' exposed fangs are dyed blood red. Although they are not angry, they still look creepy.
The floor was covered with a very thick red carpet, and it felt soft and comfortable to walk on it.
In front of the hall are three wide wooden sofas in a shape of a few, and the carvings on the wood are also very exquisite. In the middle is a square coffee table with black marble. The coffee table is filled with various fruits, pastries, and some cups.
On the sofa in the middle was a man in his forties, Gao Xiaoxiao's uncle Anda. Anda's skin was a little dark, her figure looked very well-proportioned, and her muscles were relatively developed. He was wearing a straight dark purple casual suit, with a shiny back and a cigar in his mouth.
Seeing Xiaoxiao appear, he immediately stood up and walked up to her and gave her a warm hug. "Oh, Xiaoxiao, you haven't been here for some years. Tsk tsk, this little girl hasn't seen her for a few years, and she's getting more and more beautiful. Well, she looks so much like your father."
Xiaoxiao's expression was plain, and she introduced Li Mu and Huolly to her uncle. She also said that they were his entourage. After all, Anda was not a trustworthy person and could not expose Li Mu's identity at present.
Anda asked the three of them to sit down and asked the servants to give them coffee.
Seeing Xiaoxiao's expression, Anda could only sigh. "Xiaoxiao, Uncle knows your difficulties now. If you are in a bad mood, stay with Uncle for a few days first. The environment here is one of the best in the entire Sigh City."
"Uncle, please take me in. They all said that my father is dead and our house will be taken away by the government soon." Xiaoxiao cried.
"This..." Anda sucked a cigar hard, showing a very embarrassed expression. "You can live with me for a while, but I heard that Luo Zongquan plans to accept you as his goddaughter. You know, that guy is more powerful than me. If he really likes you, I can't refute his kindness. Don't worry, the child. I have been dealing with Luo Zongquan for so many years, and I still know his character. He really likes you, and you won't suffer in him."
After hearing this, Li Mu and his team had actually achieved their goal. The reason why Gao Xiaoxiao said this was simply to find out Anda's attitude. This way, they could prove that this guy was already on Luo Zongquan's side.
It seems that there is something you can't say directly, so you can only take some measures.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll listen to you uncle. After all, you are my relative, and I believe you won't harm me."
After Gao Xiaoxiao answered this, Anda's expression was relieved. "Haha, is that right? Think about it, even if your father cannot come back next, Luo Zongquan will definitely be the next mayor. In this way, aren't you still the mayor's daughter? With your prestige, you can't say that you will become mayor in the future."
Gao Xiaoxiao sighed, "I don't want to discuss this issue now. Uncle, I haven't visited your collection for a long time. I'm in a bad mood recently. Can you let me visit again?"
Anda laughed heartily. "Of course, my good niece. Uncle's house is yours. You can do whatever you want."
Anda brought three people into his showroom. This place was simply a professional museum, very tall and magnificent. The showroom was divided into partitions of large and small by whiteboards.
The collection here is rich, including oil paintings from thousands of years ago and ink paintings unique to the East, as well as various abstract and realistic sculptures.
However, most of these artworks have special flavors, many of which are themes such as devil hell. One wall is covered with various grinning masks.
The more you go inside, the more Anda's newly collected it.
