At the Reservoir Bridge intersection in the western suburbs villa area, there was a black Audi car parked. The windows were all opaque dark glass, and no one could be seen inside. But at this moment, someone came from the western suburbs villa.
An off-road vehicle came from the direction. When the off-road vehicle reached the bridge, it stopped on the other side of the intersection. Then, two people got out of the off-road vehicle.
These two people were none other than Chen Ran and Yang Shijie.
Almost at the same time that Chen Ran got out of the off-road vehicle, the driver's seat and passenger seat doors of the Audi parked on the other side of the intersection were also opened at the same time, and two men came out from both sides. The two men got out of the car.
When he came out, he didn't come to Chen Ran. He just waited at the door of the car.
"Go back."
Chen Ran glanced at the two people, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Yang Shijie. What should be said and explained has been said and explained, so there is no need to say anything more now.
Although Yang Shijie nodded, he did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he stood there and watched Chen Ran walk towards the Audi car on the other side until the Audi car left.
"Boss Chen, please."
The two people who came to pick up Chen Ran were very polite. When Chen Ran arrived at the intersection, the driver, who had been waiting for a long time, took Chen Ran to the door of the back seat and opened the door.
Chen Ran nodded and got in the car. After he got in the car, the two people outside also got into the car respectively. They didn't talk to Chen Ran. After getting in the car, they paused and the driver said
Started the car immediately.
Chen Ran looked around after getting in the car. Not only could the Audi car be invisible from the outside, but it could also not be seen from the inside. Therefore, he did not know which direction the Audi car was driving.
Of course, if he wanted to know, he couldn't hide it from him, but he didn't bother to look. Anyway, he could know at any time whenever he wanted to know.
It was already the afternoon of the second day. Last night, he and Yang Shijie rushed home, took a cold shower, changed clothes, and went out together with Yang Shijie.
After leaving the house, Chen Ran told Tang Jianzhong that Ma Zhiyuan would also come to eat with them. Tang Jianzhong naturally agreed. If it was in a public place, he would not be willing to eat alone with Ma Zhiyuan, but if not
To outsiders, he wouldn't mind having a meal with Ma Zhiyuan in private to connect with each other.
There are many rules in the officialdom. Although he wanted to get closer to Ma Zhiyuan, he had to consider the thoughts of his superiors. After all, his armed police team was directly under the provincial Armed Police Corps. If the superiors found out that he and Ma Zhiyuan were in this city,
If he walks too close, the higher-ups may not trust him.
Therefore, although he agreed, he vaguely reminded Chen Ran to find a quiet place.
Chen Ran was surprised for a moment and then understood what Tang Jianzhong meant. After thinking about it, he arranged the place in his own hotel. Although the store opened by Chen's hotel in the city has not yet opened, it is almost fully decorated.
It's just that the facade hasn't been renovated yet, but the backyard is already ready for use. He even specially called Miao Hongtao over.
When he just returned home from the mountains, he called Miao Hongtao and asked this boy to come to the city. The main reason was that he wanted this boy to make medicinal soup for him.
Tang Jianzhong and Ma Zhiyuan were very satisfied with the place he chose. They even joked with him that they had long heard that Chen's Hotel had four unique properties. Chen Ran was surprised when they said this. He didn't know that there was such a saying.
After asking, I found out that these four specialties are Miao Hongtao's three special dishes and the Miao family's tea, but the tea is no longer available.
There wasn't much tea in the first place, but later I asked for this one and that one, and almost all of it was taken away. Fortunately, when Chen Nan then went to the provincial capital, he brought Master Miao's belongings from Siheyuan Miao Hongtao back and dug out a few cans.
It's really out of stock.
While eating, Chen Ran told Tang Jianzhong about Yang Shijie. Chen Ran was a little embarrassed when he told Tang Jianzhong. After all, Tang Jianzhong sent several people from Yang Shijie to him to take care of him, but he didn't.
We want to poach Yang Shijie from the Armed Police Force.
After hearing this, Tang Jianzhong glared at Chen Ran and Yang Shijie at first. After glaring at Chen Ran, he asked Yang Shijie what he thought. After confirming that Yang Shijie wanted to follow Chen Ran, he scolded Yang Shijie. However, after scolding for a while, he suddenly
He took out several documents and threw them on the table, telling Yang Shijie that after signing these documents, Yang Shijie would have nothing to do with the Armed Police Force.
Chen Ran and Yang Shijie looked at it, but were dumbfounded because these documents were all related to Yang Shijie's resignation.
After being stunned, Chen Ran smiled bitterly. At this time, he could not have guessed that he was being plotted by Tang Jianzhong. At that time, Tang Jianzhong asked Yang Shijie to come to his side to protect him. When the group arrived in Yunnan, they must have thought of asking him to help Yang Shijie.
Otherwise, Tang Jianzhong happened to call him when Yang Shijie's mother had an accident in the hospital. I'm afraid Tang Jianzhong would have asked him to help Yang Shijie even if Yang Shijie's mother had not been in an emergency at that time.
Of course, even though he was tricked by Tang Jianzhong, Chen Ran didn't complain at all, he was just a bit dumbfounded. But I have to say that Tang Jianzhong is a good leader.
Tang Jianzhong also explained to Chen Ran that when he asked Yang Shijie to follow Chen Ran, he didn't think too much about it. He just wanted Yang Shijie to do things with peace of mind. Of course, he also wanted to have a relationship between Yang Shijie and Chen Ran.
He hoped that Yang Shijie and Chen Ran could establish a good relationship and Chen Ran could help Yang Shijie, but at that time it was just a hope. Whether Chen Ran was willing or not depended on Yang Shijie himself. Later, Yang Shijie's mother was in a hurry to have an operation and he spoke.
He also sighed and said that even if Chen Ran didn't ask him for help, he would fire Yang Shijie. The main reason was that Yang Shijie was no longer suitable to stay in the armed police force. In the past, because of Yang Shijie's special situation, he had to expel Yang Shijie.
Take care of Yang Shijie. Yang Shijie worked as a coach in a martial arts gym outside, or even as a thug to earn money to treat Yang's mother. He turned a blind eye and even provided a lot of conveniences to Yang Shijie, which made the people below complain a lot.
, it’s just because he suppressed it and Yang Shijie himself is a sensible person and kept in touch with them that everything was fine. But this time Chen Ran funded Yang Shijie’s mother’s surgery, which caused a big sensation below.
They all knew that the cost of surgery for Yang Shijie's mother would be at least one million. Chen Ran gave Yang Shijie a salary obviously because Tang Jianzhong sent Yang Shijie to follow Chen Ran on a mission and had the opportunity to get close to Chen Ran. Sympathy for Yang Shijie was sympathy, but
Who can not be tempted when faced with millions of dollars?
People are full of fantasy, and they also thought that if Tang Jianzhong sent them to follow Chen Ran on a mission, then maybe Chen Ran would give them a sum of money. Even if their mother did not need surgery, they themselves were short of money.
Ah, even if you don't give it to them, you can still borrow it.
Now this matter has spread, not only in the Armed Police Force, but also in other departments.
Chen Ran was a little speechless after hearing Tang Jianzhong's explanation. He had provided money to help Yang Shijie, but these people actually regarded him as a scapegoat. Apparently, it was not just the Armed Police who regarded him as a scapegoat. They probably wanted to get some money from him now.
There will be no shortage of people.
Chen Ran didn't take this matter to heart. The more they thought like this, the less he could follow them. He wanted to see who dared to be the first to come to him and ask for some money.
After settling the matter, Chen Ran was relieved and had a good meal with Tang Jianzhong and Ma Zhiyuan. He also told them that he would be out for a while and asked Yang Shijie to give him food during his absence.
Housekeeping.
Tang Jianzhong and Ma Zhiyuan both understood what Chen Ran meant, and they would naturally take care of him when Chen Ran was away.
Ma Zhiyuan and Tang Jianzhong also had a good conversation. Although they have not reached the point of complete trust, through Chen Ran's relationship, they have a foundation of mutual trust.
After dinner, Chen Ran sent Ma Zhiyuan and Tang Jianzhong away, and asked Miao Hongtao to make a medicinal soup for him, while he drove to Tianzhong University to pick up the beauty of Mu School.
After getting tired of being outside for a while, I sent Mu school beauty back to school. Of course, Mu school beauty went back to school with a red face. I heard that Chen Ran was going to leave for a while. Xiaoni had no resistance at all in front of Chen Ran.
No more. Of course, the resistance was not very strong before.
Back at the villa, Miao Hongtao had already boiled the medicinal soup, and even increased the potency of the medicinal soup at Chen Ran's request.
Although the medicinal effect of the medicinal decoction has been increased, it is obviously still not enough.
Generally speaking, this kind of medicinal soup will not have much effect when it is soaked once and then again. Chen Ran had already soaked it. When he first soaked in the medicinal soup, it was quite effective, but later it became less and less effective.
.
This is what happened at that time.
After Chen Ran washed his whole body, he jumped into the big medicine bucket. The medicine soup was obviously hot, but as soon as it touched his skin, it felt like being pierced by an ice pick.
This was not the first time that Chen Ran had taken a dip, and he had gained experience. He gritted his teeth and persisted until he couldn't bear it any longer, and then he slowly started to do strange dance movements in the big medicine bucket, although the pain became more and more painful.
, but the inside of the body is getting hotter and hotter, which also reduces the pain to a certain extent.
What's more, the reason why he took a medicinal bath was to break through the bottleneck of the weird dance. Naturally, he had to grit his teeth and continue doing it. However, something suddenly appeared while he was doing it, because he could clearly feel that the medicinal power he could absorb became stronger and stronger.
It is getting weaker and weaker, as if his body has formed antibodies to the power of the medicine, and the power of the medicine has less and less impact on his body.
Chen Ran wanted to absorb enough medicinal power to break through the bottleneck of Weird Dance. How could he let this situation continue? He could only endure the pain and called out to Miao Hongtao and asked Miao Hongtao to immediately add more medicinal soup to him. After adding the medicinal soup
, the situation got a little better, but soon it became worse again, so Miao Hongtao could only continue to add medicinal soup to him.
In this way, he kept adding the medicinal soup four times, and after adding it four times, the medicinal soup was used up. At this time, it was the most critical time for him to break through the bottleneck of the strange dance.
Chen Ran knew that he couldn't give up. Once he gave up, all his previous efforts would be wasted if he used the medicine soup method to break through the bottleneck of the weird dance. If it didn't work with the medicine soup method this time, it would definitely not work next time. In addition to the medicine soup method, he was
He didn't know how to break through this bottleneck, and there was not much time left for him, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
While gritting his teeth and persisting, he continued to consume the energy aperture to replenish his body with energy.
The weird dance he had practiced had reached the sixth link. The bottleneck was from the sixth link to the seventh link. Therefore, when it came time to perform the movements of the seventh link, he gritted his teeth and ignored his body.
Just keep doing it as much as it hurts, and if you can't do the movements, forcefully press them down bit by bit.
Due to the excessive pain, Chen Ran gradually even lost consciousness. He just relied on the memory of the seventh link's actions in his mind to hold on like a conditioned reflex.
Chen Ran didn't know how long he had been doing it, and he didn't know if he could survive it. He only knew that as he was doing it, his brain gradually became aware, but he had no strength at all, as if all the strength in his body was gone.
It's like it's been taken away.
At that time, he didn't care about anything else. He climbed out of the big medicine bucket without wiping himself. He went straight to bed and passed out.
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Ran's first thing was to check the time, and found that it was only a little after five in the morning. This immediately made him breath a sigh of relief, and then he quickly checked his body and did it again.
Weird dance.
The result was gratifying. Before he fell into coma last night, he had no strength at all and was extremely sleepy. He thought that all his efforts to break through the bottleneck with the help of medicinal soup were in vain, but he did not expect that he succeeded.
It can't be said that it was a success, because when practicing the weird dance, he could feel that he should only break through half of the bottleneck, just like when he was about to open a bottle cap because it was too tight and could not be removed before.
Now I have loosened the bottle cap a little. The looser it is, the looser it is, but it still cannot be removed.
Now when he was doing the moves in the seventh link of the weird dance, he could barely do the first few moves in this link, but he couldn't do the last few moves, but he had a feeling that if he worked harder,
It should be possible to do it. In fact, he kept trying harder but still couldn't do it. But it's like opening a bottle cap. As long as it's loose, even if it can't be opened now, it can still be opened by slowly grinding it later.
open.
Although the result last night was only a semi-finished product, Chen Ran was satisfied. In any case, at least his sleepiness problem was solved.
After doing a weird dance for a while, tidying up the room, and having breakfast with his family, Chen Ran started to get busy. First, he found Lao Guo and spent a long time talking to Lao Guo about contracting the Baiyun Mountains. He wanted to contract
It's not a mountaintop, but most of the mountain range. There are too many involved, and it's obviously not something that can be negotiated in a short time.
However, Chen Ran didn't expect to be able to negotiate before leaving. He just thought that with him taking the lead, the details would be left to others to negotiate. He believed that the Bishui County Government would give him a fair price. After all, he had to take on the contract.
As for the purpose of the Baiyun Mountains, outsiders must have thought that he wanted to make a fortune and develop his hometown. The funds for contracting the mountains were undoubtedly only a small amount, and the most important thing was the follow-up funds.
And Lao Guo came to have dinner with him because Lao Guo heard from this guy Guo Hai that he had made a lot of money in Yunnan. He thought he had a lot of spare money and wanted to get him to invest in the county, but he didn't know that he had a lot of money.
Where is the spare money now? I originally had more than eight million, but now I have spent nearly one million on buying medicinal materials, so there is only more than seven million left. These more than seven million are probably enough to contract the Baiyun Mountains.
.
Lao Guo is quite excited. After all, for him, not to mention the follow-up funds for Chen Ran's development of the Baiyun Mountains, just that the contracting of the Baiyun Mountains is a big political achievement for him. Being the deputy county magistrate is so important.
This is the first time in a long time that he has made any financial achievements.
After Chen Ran started, he handed over the matter to Yang Shijie and asked Yang Shijie to discuss the matter with the county government on his behalf. He also handed over the account of more than 7 million in his hand to Yang Shijie for management.
After spending more than seven million, Chen Ran was completely destitute. Both the Chen Family Hotel and the Chen Family Sword Factory were still burning money, so they obviously couldn't withdraw any money. And he was still waiting to set up a jewelry business.
OK.
Although he had no funds on hand, Chen Ran did not leave Master Zhao and the others idle. He told them to continue recruiting people and prepare for the preliminary work of the factory. It happened that he still had a large warehouse free, so he used this warehouse
If it is converted into a factory area, it will be easier if the equipment and factory area are already there.
Chen Ran didn't finish the things he had to explain and do before leaving until after one o'clock in the afternoon. The National Security Bureau seemed to be impatient and urged him several times. He took a shower and changed his clothes.
Apart from 5,000 yuan in cash and ID card, I didn't bring anything with me, not even my mobile phone. Anyway, it would be searched when I got somewhere.
But he did bring his Kunwu knife, and of course, the Kunwu knife's appraisal certificate. With this appraisal certificate, you can take it on a plane or train as an antique.
After saying goodbye to his family, he set off. One thing that must be mentioned is the aggrieved look in Cao Huiyao's eyes when he was about to leave.
Being looked at by Cao Huiyao like this, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel guilty. This time he brought Cao Huiyao, mother and daughter home, but never stayed with them. He went out again not even two days ago.
But there was nothing I could do, I could only come back and spend time with them.
The people sent by Guoan to pick him up were not Wang Qiang and Wang Qiang, but two other people.
Chen Ran knew that even if he asked them for information, they probably wouldn't know anything, so he didn't bother with them and simply closed his eyes to rest. However, he didn't expect that he didn't speak, but the other party took the initiative to talk to him.
.
"Boss Chen, Director Li asked us to give you a piece of information. You'd better take a look at it. I hope it will be useful to you." After the Audi started to drive, a dark-skinned man sitting in the passenger seat came from time to time.
Observing Chen Ran through the rearview mirror, he saw that Chen Ran had closed his eyes. He remained silent until he saw Chen Ran wink his eyes. Then he turned around and greeted Chen Ran politely, and at the same time handed Chen Ran over.
a document.
Although Chen Ran was surprised, it would be best if he could learn more about the situation. Therefore, without saying anything, he nodded, took the document handed over by the man, opened it and read it.
