After waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged man wearing a logistics uniform walked over quickly.
Walking about twenty meters in front of the car, the man stopped and carefully observed the situation in the car. He was relieved when he saw that there were indeed only three people and there was no second car nearby.
Come over here.
Cheng Yu had already observed that the area around here was completely empty. Lao Bian followed what the other party said and parked the car near a bus stop.
This place is adjacent to the Yangtze River on one side and half of a hillside on the other side. The hillside is still bare with almost no vegetation.
On a lonely road, one can see at least three to four hundred meters ahead and behind.
In this location, if you want to hide the response personnel, you have to be hundreds of meters away recently.
Obviously, the other party asked Lao Bian to park the car here because he was worried that there would be something wrong with Lao Bian.
After the man came over, he gently knocked on the car window.
Lao Bian pressed down the car window and took off the big sunglasses on his face.
"Boss Bian?" the other party asked in a low voice.
A pair of eyes were already looking at the car, as if they wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the car.
There was basically nothing inside Cheng Yu's car. Except for Sun Jiancheng, who was driving in front, hanging his cell phone on the front of the car, there was no other object.
Lao Bian frowned, pushed the car door, and got off the ground.
Cheng Yu also opened the door on the other side and walked around the back of the car.
Old Bian said carelessly: "You are too careful. My eldest nephew is already impatient."
The other party didn't mind Lao Bian's complaints. He just smiled and said, "Who is this?"
"I'm from Shanxi, and my family owns a mine. Isn't it true that small-scale mining has stopped working in the past few years, so I switched to auto repair. I have introduced the situation to you before..."
The other party still nodded and said, "I'm asking what the boss's name is?"
His eyes were obviously full of wariness.
Cheng Yu stopped Old Bian, raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Bian, please take a break. I'll tell him myself."
Old Bian nodded, and Cheng Yu added: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Datong. Come to our place and ask around. Who doesn't know me, Zhou Datong?"
The other party looked at it again and said, "Is this person in front of you...?"
Lao Bian said: "This is my driver."
"Haha, Boss Bian is indeed in big business. He opened a CEO and hired a driver." This was a bit of a joke. It was obviously saying that a car like the Maserati Quattroporte should be considered a coupe. For ordinary people,
You can drive it yourself when you buy it, and only business models will have a driver.
Lao Bian glared and said, "What's the matter? Don't let sedans have drivers?"
The other party chuckled and said, "That's not true, it's just a bit strange."
"What's weird! Can't I do it without a driver's license?"
"Uh..." The other party was obviously a little confused.
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "My uncle Bian is a good drinker. He must have two drinks when going out. My aunt is worried and asked him not to drive himself. She specially assigned him a driver..." As he said,
Cheng Yu approached the man again, lowered his voice and said: "The main reason is that my uncle Bian made mistakes a few years ago, and my aunt was worried, so she arranged for a driver to keep an eye on him. This driver is my aunt's distant relative...
…”
As soon as he said this, the other party seemed satisfied. He nodded and said, "There is no way. You came from Shanxi. You should know that the accident happened not long ago there. I have to be careful."
Cheng Yu sighed and said, "Oh, don't mention it. If something hadn't happened to us, I would have come all the way to Jiangdong to buy goods? Let me tell you, this happened thanks to the people over there.
Be careful, you didn’t turn us in. Otherwise, I would probably be on my way to deliver a lunch box to my dad right now..."
The other party understood, nodded, and said, "To be honest, if the police really caught us, we wouldn't have confessed. It would be no good, and we would offend all our friends."
"Quickly pull him down, what the hell are you bragging about?
If something really happens to you, you have to confess to the next person, and the next person will tell you the sales records. If you find out that there is a car accident caused by these goods, and the insurance is not complete, and some lives are involved, then it will not be three years or five years.
Something can happen.
But if you don't explain, you will carry it to your death. The police have no further evidence and can only charge you with selling stolen goods.
Even if the circumstances are serious, you won't have to spend a few years in jail.
If you really can avoid prosecution if you confess, why don't you just dig out all of us?"
Lao Bian showed no mercy and directly unveiled the other party's fig leaf.
After saying this, the man became a little bit uncontrollable.
"Boss Bian is really good at joking, haha. Please come over here."
The man gestured for the two of them to follow him.
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian looked at each other and followed in two steps.
The man took two steps, looked back, and saw that Sun Jiancheng was still in the car, so he stopped and said, "Let the driver drive the car in, rest your legs, have a cup of tea or something."
Lao Bian knew that the man was worried about Sun Jiancheng being in the car, so he waved his hand and said, "Drive the car over, and you can park wherever this brother tells you."
There was an implication in his words. He was telling Sun Jiancheng not to make any move. He would drink tea as long as he wanted, and stay wherever he was told.
Sun Jiancheng understood, nodded and said: "Okay, boss."
As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the Maserati CEO slowly drove towards the direction where the man appeared just now.
When the car passed the man, the man said: "There is a small road over there, under the red billboard. It leads to a warehouse. Park at the entrance of the warehouse. If they want to ask you, just say you are Manager Hu's friend."
"Okay!" Sun Jiancheng drove the car in the direction pointed by the man.
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian followed the man. The man looked back at them from time to time and suddenly asked: "Boss Zhou, your family used to mine?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, coal mine."
"Well, it's been really hard for small coal mines these past few years. They're closely watched from above, and there's not much coal underground, right?"
"It's true that the mine is still there, but it hasn't been dug much. We can't make ends meet. But if there is no mine nail there, how can we dare to do other business? The money we make will not be visible, right?"
"So all the profits from your auto repair business go to the coal mine?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said mysteriously: "Well, it's safe!"
"This is really a good idea. Pretend that the mine still produces a lot of coal every year, forge some purchase and sale receipts, and pay taxes according to regulations. There is nothing the country can do to you. I have to say, you are smart!"
"It's all my old man who came up with it."
"But Boss Zhou, your family used to work in mining, so why would you want to change your career to auto repair? Isn't it a bit far apart?"
Cheng Yu knew that his opponent was at the bottom of the game, so he smiled and said, "I love playing cars. You can go to our place to find out. Who doesn't know me? As long as there are underground car races in our place, there will be no me."
I won’t participate. I’m not bragging, I win a lot of money every year from racing.”
"Haha, I can see that Boss Zhou is young and promising." This was purely perfunctory. After saying that, he stared at Cheng Yu as he walked, waiting for Cheng Yu to continue to answer the question he just asked.
Cheng Yu then continued: "In the beginning, I just opened a car repair shop, but I didn't actually take any business. I mainly just modified cars myself and a few friends.
After that, my dad met a few friends, alas, they were the same people who were arrested a few months ago.
Then, wouldn’t it be enough to start this business?
Don't tell me, this thing is more profitable than mining coal.
The people who came to my place to repair the car were all coal bosses who refurbished it and installed it. How could they, a bunch of old haters, know anything about cars?
Once you can drive, hit the road.
I have been taking care of the 4S store. If they have problems again within two months of opening, I can go to the 4S store for consultation and they will cover it for me. Anyway, the ground here is not good, unlike here in the Jiangdong Yangtze River Delta.
The road is good.
Those people in the 4S shop said that a luxury car must have good road maintenance. If the road is not good, problems will easily occur. Those old haters don’t understand.
The prices here are much cheaper than those at the 4S shop. Why don't they rush to my place to repair them?
After finishing the practice, he was cheated, but he still held my hand and thanked me desperately!"
The man listened and nodded, but he couldn't find anything wrong with Cheng Yu.
"How long have you been doing this?"
"A little more than three years.
Alas, after those people were arrested this year, we could only purchase brand new goods, and the profit dropped by at least 70% to 80%. The profit earned was not enough to cover the previous management expenses.
I have been looking for new sources of goods for the past few months. I heard from my uncle Bian that you have good goods here, and the quantity is sufficient, so I rushed over immediately without saying a word!"
The man nodded again and said no more.
The three of them walked under the billboard, and Cheng Yu and Lao Bian stopped in tacit agreement.
The man took two steps and heard no more footsteps behind him. He looked back and said, "You two, please go forward. This is a resting place for your two drivers. Where we want to go, we need to go further."
Take a few steps.”
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian looked at each other before following again.
After walking for about a hundred meters, the man led the two of them to the other side of the road.
There is a mountain over there, but there is a small shop at the bottom of the mountain, which is the kind of roadside grocery store common in the suburbs. It mainly sells tobacco, alcoholic beverages, etc., and does mainly passing business.
The grocery store is built against a mountain. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary grocery store.
But when Cheng Yu took a closer look, he felt that this grocery store seemed a little strange.
Generally speaking, the storefront of a grocery store will be relatively wide and not too deep. After all, the main purpose is to show what is sold in the store to the passing vehicles. If it is too deep, the driver will not be able to see it.
However, the front of this store is quite wide, but the depth is obviously greater than the length of the front, which is a bit strange.
When they reached the grocery store, the man stopped, turned around, smiled at Cheng Yu and Lao Bian, and said, "Our boss has been waiting for you two inside for a long time."
After that, the man lifted the curtain on the right door of the grocery store and waited for the two of them to enter with a smile, but he obviously had no intention of entering.
Old Bian couldn't help but hesitate, but Cheng Yu didn't care at all and walked forward directly.
When Lao Bian saw it, he felt anxious, but Cheng Yu had already entered the door, so of course it was impossible for him not to follow him.
After the two entered the door, it was dark behind them. Sure enough, the man did not come in, but lowered the door curtain.
In the grocery store, there was a woman in her thirties sitting, chewing melon seeds and pouting toward the back of the shelf.
"Inside."
When Lao Bian saw Cheng Yu walking in again without thinking, he grabbed him, but Cheng Yu turned around and smiled at him.
Of course Lao Bian didn't know why Cheng Yu was so bold. He just thought that Cheng Yu was eager to investigate the case and was anxious about the truth about Cheng Guangnian's car accident.
But he didn't know that the reason Cheng Yu didn't care was because he really didn't take these people seriously.
Not to mention that it is almost impossible for these people to have guns. Even if they do have guns, Cheng Yu is sure to exchange them for a martial art and choose to use them immediately, and then he can make everyone in this room lie on the ground in ten seconds at most - after all, this groceries
The store is only so big, how many people can be hidden inside?
Now, he is definitely an expert and bold person. If soldiers come to block the water or the earth will cover him, there is nothing to be afraid of.
He insisted on bypassing the shelves and walked over. Lao Bian had no choice but to follow quickly.
After bypassing the shelves, a mahjong table was placed in the middle of the room. There were four people sitting on the table, and they were all sitting there having a fierce battle.
Seeing the two people appear, one of them raised his eyelids and asked: "Here?"
Lao Bian didn't dare to let Cheng Yu speak, so he took a step forward, frowned, and deliberately pretended to be displeased and said, "Are you the one who talked to me on the phone? What are you doing?"
"Haha, don't be angry. Didn't I win money? Why don't these brothers get off the table? Sorry, you two wait for me for a while. We are the last one in the Beifeng Circle. After this round, we'll be done. Then let's drink
Let’s have a nice chat over two drinks.”
As he spoke, the man shouted outside: "Sister, go to Lao Liu's restaurant across the street and ask for some dishes."
"It's so troublesome to ask me to take orders as soon as people arrive! You will die on the mahjong table sooner or later!"
The woman outside cursed angrily, and then there was a sound of kicking a bench over, followed by several more curses, and the sound of footsteps in the distance.
The man smiled coquettishly and said, "My dear sister, I've spoiled you rotten. You two don't mind... don't move, I'll touch you!"
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian looked at each other and said nothing more. They just looked at the situation in the half room behind the grocery store.
The two looked around, exchanged glances with each other, and then both set their eyes on the ear of the person who just spoke.
Obviously, both of them noticed that besides playing mahjong, this man was also talking on the phone with someone.
However, he was only listening to what the other party said, and he did not speak.
"Open the bar! Haha, if I open the bar, don't cry!"
That man seemed to really like playing mahjong. He was dancing and enjoying the feeling while talking.
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian also walked over, walked around the table, and looked at the four people's cards.
Of course, the most important thing is that the two of them want to take a good look at the Bluetooth headset hanging on the man's ear, and it is best to hear the sound coming from the headset.
The man obviously saw the intentions of Cheng Yu and Lao Bian. While throwing out the card that failed to make him draw, he said lazily: "You two, stop looking. I just went to pick you up."
That brother is telling me about you two! You don’t want me to ask him the questions he asked again later, right?”
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian looked at each other. Lao Bian laughed and said, "We are also a little worried. You said we were here to discuss business, but we were brought here without discussing business. Are we not afraid that you will kidnap us?
Isn’t it?”
The man snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, we don't do that kind of business. It's a thankless job. What kind of era are we in? There are probes everywhere, and even if you get the ransom, there is nowhere to escape!"
After that, he stretched out his hand and started to touch the cards.
"Haha, I knew this one had to be mine! Touch it yourself!" The man pushed the card, then slammed the card in his hand on the card table, "It's all about the lottery! Give me money, give me money
…”
The words stopped suddenly. Cheng Yu and Lao Bian looked down and saw that this man's cards were indeed all Peng Peng Hu's cards. However, the cards he played were single-hanging six, but the card he was holding had just been touched.
It was Zhang Jiutiao who came up...
"Oh, I touched it wrong, it doesn't count..." The man hurriedly tried to pick up the cards again.
But the other three quit and said one after another: "Hey, can you help me back when the cards are down? You are cheating! I will pay the three families!"
"I got the wrong card..." The man felt unwilling.
The three of them added: "If you touch the wrong card, you are cheating. Stop talking nonsense. Who told you not to take a look at it? Don't you claim that you never touch the wrong card? Hurry up and pay for it!"
"You guys are really shameless!" But he also knew that he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to slap the table, open the small drawer in front of him, take out the small pile of hundred-yuan bills inside, and use all his strength to
Fell on the mahjong table.
"Come on, come on, I'll pay it to you guys, Male Gobi. After playing four rounds, I won this much. I'm going to pay for this swindle!"
The three people didn't bother to pay attention to him. They all happily picked up the money on the table. After dividing it, they said: "I got my money back, and I also won a little bit, haha, thank you very much!"
"Get out of here!" the man said angrily.
The three of them didn't mind. Having money in their hands was more reliable than anything else, so they left with a smile.
After the three people left, the man pushed the table and stood up.
"I'm sorry, you two, for keeping you waiting for so long. Is this Boss Bian? I've admired him for a long time." He glanced at Lao Bian and stretched out his hand.
Lao Bian shook hands with him, and the man faced Cheng Yu again and said, "This is Boss Zhou. He is really young and promising. The key is that he is handsome and has a good temperament."
Cheng Yu smiled lightly and said, "I will follow my mother."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"My mother, she used to be an actress. Although she never acted in any drama, she married my dad early.
But my mother is also an absolute beauty. She is almost fifty now. Among those young actresses, at most you think she is their sister."
"So that's the case, no wonder. But Boss Zhou's skin, tsk tsk, is so thin and tender, it really doesn't look like the people at home are mining."
“If my dad hadn’t helped the medical cause in Africa, he would be the same as me.
When you heard that my family was engaged in mining, did you think that my family was uneducated and that I was a coward?
I won't hide it from you, my grandfather was the director of the township health center, and my father was also a doctor.
It’s just that I contracted a coal mine later.”
The man nodded slightly and touched the Bluetooth headset with his right hand. Apparently, he didn't hang up the phone until now.
Cheng Yu's words just now must have been heard by the person on the other end of the phone. Now, the person on the other end of the phone must be trying to get to know Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu was not worried at all about this. What he was talking about was exactly the situation in Zhou Datong's family.
Although Zhou Datong can be playful and playful, he doesn't like to play online. He doesn't have Weibo and doesn't use other social software. If he didn't have WeChat, it would be hard for you to believe that he is a modern person.
Moreover, he doesn’t like to post on WeChat Moments as much as others, and he generally doesn’t like to take selfies because of his appearance. Unless he goes to the northwest to check, Cheng Yu is sure that these people will never be able to find out Zhou Datong’s identity through a network.
Come by looks.
"Boss Zhou, help me, give me a hand and move this mahjong board to the side."
Cheng Yu stretched out his hand, and the two of them lifted the mahjong board on the table and moved the mahjong aside.
After putting down the mahjong board, the man stretched out his hand and said, "Let me introduce myself. My last name is Hu, and my last name is Jiang. People here call me Manager Hu."
Cheng Yu also shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Manager Hu."
