"The donor is a descendant of Mr. Zhang. His true intention is universal. Everything depends on self-understanding and deep self-awareness. The poor monk has no teaching to teach and dare not give to him." Monk Ma Yun clasped his hands together, nodded with relaxed eyebrows, without even moving his eyelids.
"Why don't you dare to do it?" Zhang Xiaolong didn't know why and asked: "Last time I came here, the master also gave me some guidance. Now I'm in a dilemma and have no way to go. I just ask the master to show me a clear way."
"Pointing is not pointing, there is a way if there is no way. Mr. Zhang once said, people are not people, the road is not a road, everyone has a way, the road is bright, the road is in front of the donor, the poor monk dare not lie, Amitabha!" After the words,
Monk Ma Yun opened his eyes and stood up, stopped talking to Zhang Xiaolong, and walked out of the hall without looking back.
"Is the road right in front of you?" Zhang Xiaolong thought for a while and inadvertently looked at the gray-haired old man kneeling in front of the Buddha. At this time, he still couldn't see the other person's face. He only saw the gray-haired old man wearing a black Tang Dynasty suit. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolong
My heart lit up, and I immediately thought of Hou Jun I saw at the door of the court that day.
That's right, the old guy in front of him is Hou Jun. Although Zhang Xiaolong didn't see his face, he still recognized him from his body shape. At this moment, Hou Jun was worshiping the Buddha statue devoutly, but Zhang Xiaolong didn't want to disturb him. Just now, the old monk Ma Yun told him
The road is right in front of him. Zhang Xiaolong has been around Zhang Tiansheng for many years and has a deep understanding of numerology. He heard that the road that Monk Ma Yun pointed to was Hou Jun?
When Zhang Xiaolong came here, he never thought that he would meet Hou Jun here. When he came out of Zhenxing Street last night, he even thought about going to Xishan Villa to seek help from Hou Jun. Now he accidentally met Hou Jun, who seemed to be arranged by God.
Even the enigmatic Monk Ma Yun gave this advice.
Even in old age, Hou Jun is advocating superstition. At this moment, Hou Jun knelt down in front of the Buddha and remained silent for a long time, as if he was sitting in meditation and no outsiders could interfere with him. Even when Zhang Xiaolong was talking to Monk Ma Yun just now, he didn't turn around to glance at him, and he didn't know who he was.
Did you hear the conversation between the two just now? Seeing that he was so pious, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't disturb him, so he could only stand quietly next to him, waiting for him to wake up.
Zhang Xiaolong glanced outside the temple, recalling the scene when he came in, and found that Hou Jun came to worship Buddha without any bodyguards. Maybe those bodyguards stayed outside the temple like Wang Xiaofei. Without time to think about it, Hou Jun climbed up from the garden and worshiped.
After bowing, he turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaolong.
"Mr. Hou." Zhang Xiaolong bowed and shouted. He usually called Hou Jun by his first name, but now he was very respectful. This is the biggest change for Zhang Xiaolong since his escape days. If he hadn't bumped into Hou Ying, he would have
The understanding is not that deep.
"We don't talk about family matters in front of the Buddha. Let's go out and talk." Hou Jun walked out of the temple, and Zhang Xiaolong followed. After a while, the two of them walked out of the temple gate. When they arrived outside the temple, Zhang Xiaolong saw a black Land Rover parked on the roadside.
, seeing Hou Jun coming out, a tall man immediately got out of the car and opened the back seat door.
Zhang Xiaolong had seen this tall bodyguard before. He was one of the two bodyguards who guarded Hou Ying when Zhang Xiaolong went to the third floor of Black Iron Wine to meet Hou Dehai on the first day. One of them was named Liu Chao, and this person was named Luo Li.
.
Luo Li glanced at Zhang Xiaolong with a sharp look. His expression was indifferent, but there was no hint of hostility. He put his hand on the door to protect Hou Jun from getting into the car.
"Along, come up." After Hou Jun got on the car, he waved to Zhang Xiaolong below. Luo Li, who was about to close the door, couldn't help but step aside and looked at Zhang Xiaolong and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhang Xiaolong glanced at Wang Xiaofei in the van on the roadside in front, and got in the car without hesitation. The interior space of the Land Rover was extremely spacious, the field of view was wide, and the leather seats were more comfortable than the Cayenne. Zhang Xiaolong now knows a little about cars. According to reports
He understands that Land Rover is strong in handling, power and stability, and it is comfortable to sit on, but its body is relatively small.
Gao, he didn't understand why Hou Jun, who was in his fifties, chose this car as his mount. And in terms of price, Land Rover was not as good as the modified high-end Cayenne, nor was it as good as S-class high-end Mercedes-Benz and seven-series BMW. But Zhang Xiaolong saw it several times.
Hou Jun always took this car when he went out. He guessed that the Land Rover must have something special about it, and maybe it was highly modified in terms of safety.
"Aaron, you really didn't disappoint me. You slapped Liu Xiaodong again last night, which really made me happy!" The car door closed, and the sound outside was isolated. Hou Jun smiled slightly and said to Zhang Xiaolong, "In recent years,
Liu Xiaodong is extremely arrogant, especially when he got together with Huang Meng, a mentally ill patient. Everyone gave him a headache. I also suffered a lot from him, so this time you gave us a bad breath."
"Mr. Hou, I was forced to have no choice. Liu Xiaodong is so powerful. I was almost shot to death by his men on Zhenxing Street last night. I finally escaped after taking the leather bag as a hostage." Zhang Xiaolong said it very tactfully, so close.
Sitting next to the powerful Hou Jun
, he felt the pressure and seemed a little reserved. This was not only because of the other party's powerful position, but mainly because he was Hou Ying's most respected adoptive father. If Zhang Xiaolong had not come together with Hou Ying half a month ago, he would not have gotten together.
There is no need to be so formal.
"I heard that Liu Xiaodong sent someone to kidnap Zhao Xiniu and his son who had helped you. Later, you took the leather bag in exchange. Did you reach some kind of agreement?" Hou Jun's information source was extremely accurate. When he asked this question, he naturally
Already know a lot of things.
"Liu Xiaodong called me last night..." Zhang Xiaolong carefully explained everything in general.
"Well, that's right."
After hearing this, Hou Jun nodded slightly and greatly appreciated Zhang Xiaolong's courage, "Liu Xiaodong, as the overlord of one party, used thunderous means to unify the dark forces in the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong, but he still received high praise from the superiors, all because of Zhang
The husband was there to help and guide him on the right path. Otherwise, his desperate and crazy killing methods would lead him to the right path.
A hundred heads are not enough to cut off. Since Mr. Zhang retired, Liu Xiaodong has been almost harmed by his superiors several times. He is more restrained than before. In addition, because you are Mr. Zhang's successor, he did not kill you.
This also proves that he still has some kindness, but I think it is unlikely that he has a good relationship with you. If he does, it is just for use."
"There is nothing to use. I am cornered. How can I easily trust him?" Zhang Xiaolong saw clearly and said with a smile: "He is just using this to stabilize me and does not want me to join Chen Si and Sak.
, once I assist them, Liu Xiaodong will not get any good results."
"As long as you understand." Hou Jun said with a smile, "But this is only one aspect of it. On the other hand, it is because of Mr. Zhang that the Pinlan Conference was just about to begin. Mr. Zhang did not come to preside over the last session. If Mr. Zhang were to host this session,
If he doesn't show up again, the position of president will be re-emphasized.
There is a new election, and your appearance has undoubtedly sounded the alarm to all forces. You are a balance point for everyone's uproar. Whoever destroys the balance will be the first to become a public enemy. Therefore, Liu Xiaodong is not taboo against people like us, but also
It’s not you, it’s the military.”
"Military?" Zhang Xiaolong was a little confused.
"That's right." Hou Jun explained to him, "The military represents the country. Why was the Spring City Pinlan Conference established? Why was the Pinlan Conference attended by business circles, political circles, military circles, and even those of us from the dark forces?
There is a complicated and complicated relationship, and this
The first person involved is your teacher, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang is not only kind to us, but also has made extraordinary contributions to the country. He established the Spring City Pinlan Society with the purpose of twisting powerful people like us together.
Let’s coexist peacefully. You know, the dark forces
The country cannot put an end to it, the police and the military cannot cover everything, and the development of national strength is inseparable from commercial financing. If the dark forces cannot be managed in a unified way, it will have a huge impact on these, so in a certain way, we people also have a certain influence on the development of the country.
plays a great role.
However, in terms of power, compared to the military, we will always be at a disadvantage. No matter how tyrannical Liu Xiaodong is, he does not have to go against the military. If he wants to run for the chairmanship, he must first stabilize the balance of forces among all parties.
So when you say harsh words, he will naturally be afraid."
"According to what you said, Liu Xiaodong really won't hunt me down anymore?" Zhang Xiaolong felt reassured after a conversation with Hou Jun. Hou Jun indirectly revealed a lot of information about the Spring City Pinlan Society to him, and at the same time
He also talked a lot about Liu Xiaodong, Huang Meng, and other powerful figures from all walks of life.
When talking about these things, Hou Jun also hinted to Zhang Xiaolong that he could not join any force unless he could rise on his own, otherwise the balance of the forces would be lost. Spring City is Hou Jun's territory, and in this territory, Hou Jun also
Don't dare to support Zhang Xiaolong too much, otherwise with his financial resources and power,
It is not a myth that he ordered Zhang Xiaolong to have a net worth of tens of millions, but he did not do so. Instead, he allowed Zhang Xiaolong to choose and develop on his own. As for the reason why Pinlan Club chose Chuncheng instead of other provinces and cities, Hou Jun did not say it clearly. It is estimated that he
Not sure, after all, this was the area Mr. Zhang chose back then.
After sitting in the car for a long time, Hou Jun finally pointed to his adopted daughter Hou Ying. Perhaps Hou Jun knew what was going on between the two, and said to Zhang Xiaolong with approval: "Along, Xiaoying will go abroad soon.
When will she come back? It all depends on your achievements. I
I won’t care about your affairs, but I don’t want Xiaoying’s future life to be insecure. Objectively speaking, I won’t provide you with any help, but as a father-in-law, I can provide it to you without any scruples.
Any resources are available as long as you ask."
"Thank you Mr. Hou, I don't need these. I believe that I can still give Xiaoying a stable home with my own abilities." Flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand damage. Zhang Xiaolong understands this truth deeply, even though he does
We need money very much, but we can't just ask him for tens of millions after Hou Jun said this. That would disappoint Hou Jun.
"Have you thought about it? What are your plans next?" Hou Jun asked. He was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaolong's performance.
"Think about it, there will be a car race soon, and I want to train my car well enough to participate in it." Zhang Xiaolong did not tell Hou Ying what he wanted to give him as a surprise, nor did Zhang Xiaolong reveal anything about Hou Ying.
However, Hou Jun seemed to know everything. I don’t know if Hou Ying told him, but he stared at Zhang Xiaolong thoughtfully and asked: "Are you confident that you can win the championship?"
