Chapter 128: Lu Family Lady
After seeing off the three members of the Bi family, Lu Zheng was in a good mood. Looking at his watch, it was less than ten o'clock, and he couldn't help but wonder whether to go to the bar to have some wine, but if I returned to the room with a drunken body, Iris wouldn't seem to be very
He sighed, and was about to return home, the pager rang. It was a message sent by his brother-in-law Hoodley. He said, "Zhengzi, please reply to my phone number, there is something urgent."
Lu Zheng hurried to the bar to borrow the phone and dialed the big number of Hoodley's elder brother.
"Zhengzi, something happened. This is bad. Jiaju, I don't know where she went? Zhengzi, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Hoodley paused his feet and pounded his chest on the phone, and he spoke without any end. He could hear that he was so anxious and frightened.
"What the hell is going on? Brother-in-law, tell me slowly." Lu Zheng vaguely guessed something.
Sure enough, Hudley's voice was filled with crying voice: "I don't know what happened. Your elder sister knows Xiao Hu, Zhengzi, wasn't you talking about it?"
Lu Zheng said: "It wasn't what I said. Sister was angry and ran away?"
"Yes, last night, she had a big fight with me and drove me out. I was staying in the car outside, but I saw your elder sister coming out and going out for a taxi. I didn't catch up with me. Then until now, I haven't seen her. She threw her mobile phone pager at home. I have looked for her friends, Mingzhu Club, and the hotel she often goes to. No one knows where she went, and her parents. I tried it, and it wasn't there either. I think, she can't be with the old man, right?" Hudley was so angry that she couldn't cry.
"I'm not with my grandfather." Lu Zheng just came back from the old man's courtyard and never heard that my eldest sister had been there in the past two days.
Hoodley cried out in a woe, "Then, what should I do? Where is Jiaju going? I, I deserve to die. Jiaju is going to have something to do, I..." As he said this, he seemed to have shivered and dared not say anything further.
Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I'm in the Friendship Hotel now. Where are you? I'll go find you."
"I'm in Mingzhu's underground parking lot. Jiaju used to come to the club every few days. I wanted to wait and see if I could find her."
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "You wait for me."
Back upstairs, Lu Zheng told Aris that something happened to his elder sister at home and she wanted to go and have a look.
Iris nodded, saying nothing.
But when Lu Zheng left the door, he didn't want Louise to chase him out and handed him over to Lu Zheng a big brother, saying, "Miss said, this is a mobile phone from Beijing.com. If you take it, it will be more convenient to contact someone if you have any questions."
Obviously, although Iris is silent, she can tell whether Lu Zheng is anxious or not. Is there really something wrong?
Lu Zheng took the phone, was silent for a while, and said to Louise, who was about to go back to the house: "Tell Iris, if I can't come back before midnight, call her, and tell her not to worry."
Louise nodded slightly.
When Lu Zheng found Hudley in the underground parking lot of Mingzhu Hotel, Hudley was standing in front of his car, smoking one by one. The security guard was standing beside him. After he finished smoking, he put away the cigarette butts he threw on the ground. He just persuaded Hudley not to smoke, but was scolded. The security guard could only use this helpless way to perform his duties.
Lu Zheng had just walked to Hoodley when a police car with flashing police lights slowly drove over, but the parking lot manager had called the police.
Seeing the police coming, Hoodley glared at his eyes and waved impatiently: "Get out, I'm in a bad mood, your Lotus Branch Lao Zhao has to pretend to be a grandson when he sees me, get out."
The three policemen, including a young female policewoman, all stood awkwardly. They were from the nearby police station, but they knew that the person mentioned Lao Zhao must be Director Zhao of the branch.
Especially when I saw that this license plate is a local cow brand in Beijing, the car is a Mercedes-Benz luxury car of a million-dollar scale, this person may not be bragging.
Lu Zheng had no choice but to walk over and smiled and said, "He was in a bad mood when something happened to him. In this way, I won't ask him to smoke anymore. Let's leave now."
The police officer in charge nodded: "Well, take him away quickly."
With Lu Zheng here, Hudley naturally did not dare to show off his power. After Lu Zheng said something, he followed Lu Zheng to the black Mercedes-Benz that was driven by Luo Chuan.
Looking at Lu Zheng's Mercedes-Benz business car, the three policemen looked at each other and knew that the person they met today was really not a big deal, and it would be great to just go there like this.
Sitting in the car, Hoodley lit another cigarette. Lu Zheng wanted to say something. Finally, I would forget it. I had to change the car to send Iris back to Wushan tomorrow. Iris couldn't stand these odors. This was also my own observation. If I smoked, Iris seemed to be not very disgusted, but her little nose was particularly smart. Maybe it was because of the living environment of aristocratic education since childhood. Not to mention smoking, even if someone had a sweaty smell in the car, Iris would still be able to make the air fresher next. Even if she sprayed the smell of fragrance in the car, Iris could still notice it. Moreover, unless in special circumstances, she would not take such a car.
"Brother-in-law, tell me what my sister said at that time? How did she know?" As he said that, Lu Zheng took a can of drink from the small refrigerator to Hudley.
"She didn't say anything, she just said she married me wrong. Alas, Zhengzi, I really don't know how she knew about this. I thought you were so fucked up, and I broke up with Xiao Hu, gave her some money and told her to resign." Hudley sighed, feeling full of nowhere.
Lu Zheng thought about it and said, "Everything she said is very important. Brother-in-law, think about it carefully and say every word she said from the beginning to me."
Hudley cried and said, "I was confused at that time. How could she remember that she just scolded me and said that if I was looking for a little lover, she would go to find an old lover. She was so angry that she didn't know what she said." Hudley knew very well that she was the first man of his wife, and that was given to him on the wedding night. With his wife's tutor, how could there be any old lover?
Lu Zheng frowned and said, "Think about it again and think about some useful information."
Hudley thought hard and remembered some of the words Lu Jiaju scolded her, and then repeated them word by word. There was no shame in front of this brother-in-law.
Lu Zheng suddenly looked at the pager, and it seemed to be a tremor. Then he said, "Brother-in-law, so you can open a room in Mingzhu first and wait for me to get out."
Hoodley was slightly stunned, and immediately understood and said, "Zhengzi, is your elder sister calling you?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Anyway, you just listen first, okay?"
Hoodley was a little relieved and hurriedly said, "Okay, Zhengzi, please." He said, "Don't send me over, turn the corner in front, stop the car, just put me down."
Lu Zheng nodded slightly. Actually, where did the pager ring?
After Hudley got out of the car, Lu Zheng picked up his cell phone and called Zhou Tao. In fact, it hadn't been in contact with Zhou Tao for a long time.
Zhou Tao was also very upset. The General Office leader who followed closely resigned in a less glorious manner last year. Soon he was transferred from the Secretariat of the General Office of the Central Committee. His job position has changed several times and he is now in the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council.
I left my name with the paging lady, and soon Zhou Tao called over, "Zhengzi, where are you in Beijing?" Zhou Tao's tone was still so intimate. From the mobile phone number he called back, he could know that Lu Zheng must be in Beijing.
"Well, are you doing well recently?" Lu Zheng sighed softly. A lot of things have happened in recent years. He and Zhou Tao were both up and down like a roller coaster in this kind of shock. Now the dust is gradually settled. In the end, Zhou Tao finally stood in the wrong team. His experience can be explained by "there is too smart to do everything in the system."
"What's the point?" Zhou Tao seemed to smile bitterly, and then he said, "Are you looking for Jiaju? I advised her for a day today, and was thinking that it wouldn't work. I called you tomorrow and asked you to come to Beijing to persuade her.
Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, just be able to find his elder sister.
I just heard my brother-in-law say something that my elder sister said was going to find an old lover. Although this was something that was angered to block Hudley, if I wanted to say that my elder sister ran away from home and had completely separated her social relationship with her and Hudley's family, then after thinking about it, the biggest possibility was to find Zhou Tao.
It seems that I have guessed it right.
"Where is my sister now?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Then what, my wife is with me. I live in the east building of the Beijing Hotel, Zhengzi, why don't you pick me up and let's go together?" Zhou Tao asked hesitantly. He was no longer as good as he was when asked about Lu Zheng a few years ago. He was even a little cautious when asking about Lu Zheng's opinions.
Lu Zheng said: "Okay, you are still in the construction of the old family building of the committee, right? Well, wait for me and you will arrive later."
The traffic at this point is no longer very dense. Although the community where Zhou Tao lives is a bit far from the Mingzhu Hotel, in less than half an hour, Black Mercedes-Benz drove into the community steadily and stopped next to the flower bed.
Zhou Tao had been waiting for a long time. After confirming that Lu Zheng arrived, he quickly walked over and got into the car. Lu Zheng shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for a while. Well, I'm younger than the last time I saw you."
In fact, Zhou Tao's hair has fallen out very thinly. He looks very young when wearing a wig.
Zhou Tao smiled bitterly and took out a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket. The cigarette box was just opened and it was obviously a good cigarette for entertaining guests. It was not the same as the political treatment a few years ago. When he was in the secretariat, he had his quota for high-end tobacco and alcohol specially provided to his leaders.
Lu Zheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "Wait a minute, I will call your brother and sister first. It seems that I can't go back before twelve o'clock, so I'll report my safety."
Zhou Tao looked at the luxurious decoration in the car, and then looked at the small mobile phone in Lu Zheng's hand. A trace of desolation flashed in his eyes.
After Lu Zheng called Iris to report his safety, Zhou Tao handed over a cigarette and said, "I called you sister-in-law before I came down. She said she was in the hotel bar with Jiaju. Jiaju must have a drink, but she couldn't persuade her."
Lu Zheng nodded slightly.
As a five-star foreign-related foreign hotel that has been receiving foreign friends for many years, the bar is very orthodox and does not float. Of course, there are many beautiful ladies. From a certain perspective, some beautiful girls in bright clothes are just high-end movers.
When Lu Zheng came into the bar, he immediately saw the eldest sister sitting on the bar stool. To be honest, the eldest sister has been pampering for many years, and her daily life focuses in addition to maintenance and dressing up. Seeing her noble and elegant temperament in a black dress, she is not comparable to many young and beautiful girls.
Lu Zheng also noticed Zhou Tao beside him. When he saw his elder sister, his eyes lit up suddenly and then dimmed again.
Next to my elder sister, there was a man in a suit and tie, who was talking to her. The elder sister ignored her. Lu Zheng approached and was stunned. The person sitting next to her was Li Xiaobo, who had used Jin Modou's case to go to Wushan and the returnee who was embarrassed by him.
I heard that Li Xiaobo is now the director of the department in the newly established China Securities Regulatory Commission, equivalent to the level of a chief officer.
Lu Zheng walked over and shouted "Sister." Lu Jiaju smiled sweetly and said, "Little brother, someone wants to invite me to watch an opera, do you agree?" He turned to Li Xiaobo and said, "I want to know my name, ask my younger brother."
When Li Xiaobo saw Lu Zheng, he was stunned. He felt even more embarrassed when he heard Lu Jiaju's words.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. The eldest sister's social circle was mainly in the Mingzhu Club. She felt that Mingzhu was very modern and rarely attended Beijing hotel receptions. It seems that Li Xiaobo didn't know the eldest sister, but he should have heard of the eldest sister's name.
I have heard from someone that Li Xiaobo has a very high vision and is still single at about 40. He is a foreign-style person. In addition, he is in a unit like the China Securities Regulatory Commission, so he does not avoid contacting celebrities.
"Ah, it turns out that you are Lu Tianhe's daughter, and your name is Lu Jiaju, right?" Li Xiaobo quickly looked as usual, smiled and raised his goblet, and said, "Now I know your name, you can have a drink with me."
Lu Zheng frowned slightly. Li Xiaobo always ignored himself and did not know him. Knowing that his eldest sister was married and having to drink with her could be considered a social etiquette. Although it made people feel a little uncomfortable and just ignored him. But calling her father's name in front of him seemed too frivolous.
When Lu Jiaju heard that he was quite angry, she frowned slightly and asked Lu Zheng sideways: "Zhengzi, who is he?"
Li Xiaobo seemed to know that Lu Jiaju was asking about him, and raised his glass to signal Zhou Tao slightly, "Hello, Lao Zhou."
Zhou Tao was slightly embarrassed when he saw him. During this period, he was working on the CSRC. This newly established department has a lot of power and is not very eye-catching. If he could go in and serve as the head of the department, it might be his best choice at the moment. After someone introduced him, he met Mr. Li and knew that Mr. Li was extremely strong in the CSRC, so he deliberately made friends and flattered him. At this moment, when he saw Mr. Li again, Zhou Tao felt a little uncomfortable.
But when he saw Li Xiaobo smiling and waved, he could only walk over and say hello to Li Xiaobo.
"Don't worry about him, sister, let's go home and say, "Or, go back to the Friendship Hotel with me first. Your brother and sister are here, let's talk again." When Lu Zheng was talking to his elder sister, he glanced at the corner of his eyes and Zhou Tao, who was talking to Li Xiaobo in a low voice, suddenly punched Li Xiaobo in the face. Li Xiaobo staggered a few steps, tripped by something, fell to the sky, and his head hit the bottom corner of the bar. With a "bang", almost the entire bar could hear it.
