211. Chapter 211 Another scene that was cut off and not broadcast
There is a widely circulated saying among Sanshan citizens - the nightlife in Sanshan City started with the "Godfather" nightclub.
As the first real nightclub in Sanshan City, "Godfather" Nightclub has existed in this city for nearly twenty years.
From a small underground dance hall, it gradually developed into this huge independent building covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Its history can even be said to be the history of this city.
Although there are some special entertainment projects that are on the sidelines, as the well-deserved leader of nightclubs in Sanshan City, the "Godfather" Nightclub is generally quite formal. After all, with its reputation and status, it does not need to engage in those messy projects.
attract customers.
Because of this, every night, celebrities and luxury cars gather in front of the "Godfather" nightclub. Coupled with the retro-style neon signs and facade decoration, it makes people feel like they are in the bustling Shanghai during the Republic of China.
Li Mengnan got out of the taxi and looked up to see a huge hand-painted poster about five or six meters high next to the main entrance. "We sincerely invite the famous domestic magic master Situ Jun to come and perform." Several neat large characters in fine art fonts were clearly visible, and the characters
The face is slightly distorted due to the unique retro style, but the strong sense of nostalgia makes people feel extremely friendly.
Li Mengnan still remembers that when he was very young, movie theater posters were all hand-painted one by one like this. Because the level of painters varied, the posters of each movie theater were also very different. If you didn’t look at the movie title, there would be no clue.
There are ways to identify whether the same movie is being shown on the poster, and sometimes it can lead to a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, with the development of science and technology, large-scale color printing gradually became popular, and we no longer see such large, purely hand-painted posters. Although the pictures are extremely realistic, they always seem to lack a bit of human flavor for some reason.
, only the machine’s emotionless and uniform coldness remains.
The chef is also good at restaurants, and Li Mengnan is not arrogant enough to think that I am the best in the world. He is still somewhat interested in the performances of fellow domestic magicians.
However, judging from the time on the poster, there are only two magic shows on Friday and Saturday nights, and today is only Thursday, so it seems that there is no chance to see it. He can only roughly infer the content of the show from the name of the show on the poster.
Li Mengnan took out a reception ticket and was about to walk inside when suddenly he seemed to hit something hard under his feet. He bent down to pick it up and found it was a mobile phone.
This is a functional phone that is not very common nowadays. The casing is covered with scratches, the screen is also somewhat broken, and there are a few faint footprints on it. It has obviously been stepped on many times.
Li Mengnan doesn't go out of his way to do good things, but he is quite enthusiastic about such easy things.
Picking up the phone and opening the address book, Li Mengnan wanted to see if there was any way to contact the owner, but suddenly he found a very familiar name in the phone's address book.
Qing Pei.
Strange, isn’t this the alcoholic father of Qingche’s little lolita?
Li Mengnan didn't think it was a duplicate name. After all, the surname Qing was very rare. Moreover, judging from the mobile phone number, the combination of numbers was very similar to Qing Che's number. It was obvious that the numbers were consecutively processed at the same time.
Apart from Qing Pei, there was no useful discovery in the address book, so Li Mengnan had no choice but to open the text message box.
There are not many text messages in the text box, but the most obvious ones are the changes in deposit balances sent by several banks. It shows that the owner received a transfer of more than 1.8 million yuan at noon today, but then it was withdrawn twice.
Once it was 300,000, and once it was 1.5 million.
Seeing these bank text messages, Li Mengnan instantly guessed who the owner of this phone was.
Mitong.
When he called Goubuli to ask about the house at noon, Goubuli once said that the 300,000 yuan Mitong owed their company had been paid off, which should be the first payment in the text message.
As for why Mi Tong withdrew another 1.5 million yuan later, Li Mengnan was a little confused, but his intuition may have something to do with Mi Tong's escape mentioned by Gou Buli.
However, he couldn't understand that Mi Tong's mobile phone would appear here. Even if Mi Tong suddenly made a fortune and planned to buy a new mobile phone, he should at least keep the original phone card and throw away the phone and the phone card directly.
This is not what normal people do.
Li Mengnan accidentally pressed the redial button when exiting the text box, but suddenly found that the number displayed on the screen was actually-110!
The police call? Before Mitong dropped this phone, he was actually dialing the police call? Did something happen?
Li Mengnan immediately checked the call records and found that the last and only alarm call made by Mi Tongna was actually at 7:30, that is, five minutes ago.
After connecting the previous clues together, Li Mengnan quickly restored a picture in his mind.
After Mitong received 1.8 million yuan in demolition compensation, he paid back 300,000 yuan from Jindu Company. He took the remaining 1.5 million yuan with him and went to the train station to buy a ticket and prepare to leave Sanshan City.
But the train departed in the evening, so he had to stay in the city temporarily. After dinner, he was about to leave by train, but he didn't want to encounter some danger of having to escape.
When he escaped to the "Godfather" nightclub, he felt that he might not be able to escape. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the police. Before the call could be connected, the mobile phone was knocked away by the passing people. At this time, the danger came again, and he had to give up the mobile phone.
Keep running for your life.
To save? Or not to save?
This is a problem.
To be fair, from the moment Mi Tong ignored Xiao Baoer's life and death and worked with Jindu Company to make a fake contract to rob the demolition compensation, in Li Mengnan's mind, this person had nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore, and his life and death naturally had nothing to do with him.
.
But Minnie's last reaction somewhat made him hesitate. To him, Mitong was a stranger with no blood relationship, but to Minnie and Xiao Baoer, no matter what crazy things Mitong did, the blood and family ties
But it can never be broken off at the drop of a hat.
Li Mengnan only hesitated for a moment, then immediately set out to search around.
He finally decided to save Mitong once, even if Mitong's existence only had the symbolic meaning of a "father", he also hoped that Minnie and Xiao Baoer could have a nominally "complete" family.
Because he has never had one, Li Mengnan can best understand the bitterness and pain of not having parents.
Five minutes is not long or short.
If there are no obstacles along the way, it is enough for a person to run one kilometer in a straight line.
Li Mengnan's search is actually just a matter of doing his best to obey fate. After all, this is a bustling downtown area, not an endless open wilderness. If you add up the nooks and crannies within a one kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of places to hide, let alone only one.
He alone, even if a special police search team is dispatched, may not be able to find Mitong in a short time.
The actual situation was exactly as Li Mengnan expected. Taking the "Godfather" nightclub as the center point and wandering around the surrounding passages and alleys for more than half an hour, he did not find any traces or clues of Mitong. On the contrary, he bumped into
I fell in love with several young couples having passionate wild sex in the dark.
(Another scene that has not been aired: a man and a woman panting and groaning in a dark corner between two floors. A pair of bright eyes quietly poked out from the corner on the other side, and they were shaking hard behind the woman.
The man turned his head unintentionally and was suddenly startled. He shouted loudly: What are you doing? Li Mengnan immediately pretended to take off his belt and said with surprise: Is this... really okay?)
After struggling with this nonsense for a long time, there was no result. Li Mengnan no longer had the interest to go to the nightclub to "observe". Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go back to school first, otherwise the building would be closed after ten o'clock.
Just as he was returning along the same route and passing the side door of the "Godfather" nightclub, a young man in his twenties suddenly opened the door and walked out quickly, almost bumping into him.
The young man had no intention of apologizing at all. Instead, he patted the place where he collided with Li Mengnan, with a look of disgust on his face.
Damn it! Is it amazing if you wear Armani? Do you have an amoeba or something on your body?
Li Mengnan hated this kind of person the most, as if the whole world was a source of pollution and he was the cleanest.
I'm not your father, so why do I have to tolerate your bad habits?
Li Mengnan immediately covered his chest and pretended to be exhausted. He sneezed and coughed again and sprayed the young man with spittle.
"Damn it! Are you looking for death?"
The young man was immediately disgusted by Li Mengnan. He was about to slap him in the face, but he remembered something and suddenly lowered his half-raised hand. He took out his wallet and took out more than a thousand yuan, and casually slapped Li Mengnan on him.
, waved his hands and said: "Go away! Hurry up and get the money to see a doctor. I am in a good mood today and I am too lazy to argue with you like a sick and consumptive ghost!"
After that, he turned around and shouted to the door behind him: "Aqiang, hurry up and leave! It's so slow to lift someone up!"
A burly man in black then walked out of the side door, carrying a scantily clad young girl on his shoulders.
The girl seemed to have drunk a lot of wine. Her long hair hung down like a dead fish and was carried on the shoulders of the strong man. Apart from occasionally saying a few vague words that were completely incomprehensible, she hardly made any resistance.
No wonder he left in such a hurry, it turned out that he had picked up a "corpse".
Li Mengnan once heard that at the entrance of bars or nightclubs in big cities, there are often so-called "corpse pickers". These men do not hunt for women themselves, but just wait for the drunk women, and then directly pick them up.
Carry it like a "corpse" to a hotel, get a room, and do some things you love.
Although many people are condemning the behavior of these "corpse pickers", Li Mengnan feels that these people are actually quite gentlemen - you can't let a drunk woman sleep alone on the street, right? As for what she did after opening a house
What you love to do is just to get back some of the rewards you deserve. There is absolutely no need to criticize others from the moral high ground.
What's more, since a single woman dares to get drunk, it means she is not afraid of being "picked up". The person involved doesn't think anything of it, so how anxious are you to follow her?
Li Mengnan originally planned to see what the girl who was "picked up" looked like and leave directly, but he just took a casual glance and found that the girl's clothes looked very familiar.
Isn’t this Le Youyou’s “old enemy” Zhuang Jia!
Strange, wasn't she supposed to be with that pretty boy Jin Kela? How could she appear alone in a place like this? And her "body" was picked up?
At this moment, the strong man in black had already thrown the unconscious Zhuang Jia into the back seat of a black Cadillac, and then the young man also got in.
The more Li Mengnan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he stopped in front of the car with a quick stride.
The car that had just started suddenly stopped on the spot. The sudden movement caused the young man in the back seat to almost hit his head. He immediately said displeasedly: "Aqiang, how do you drive?"
"Master, someone is stopping the car." The strong man in black said matter-of-factly.
"What the hell! What are you doing!" The young man saw it was Li Mengnan again through the front windshield. He was so angry that he lowered the window and stuck his head out, cursing: "You want to die, don't you? Get over now.
open!"
"What if I don't let you?" Li Mengnan didn't take the young man's threat seriously at all.
"Damn it! Boy, you have the guts! I haven't met anyone who dares to challenge me for a long time..." The young man laughed angrily, and then directly ordered the strong man in front of him: "Aqiang, just run over! If
If you can’t kill him once, you’ll fall back and crush him to death! It’s just a matter of hundreds of thousands, and I can afford to pay for it!”
It was obvious that this was not the first time for the strong man in black to do such a thing. He immediately put the gear into gear and increased the accelerator without any hesitation after hearing the order.
boom!
There was clearly a sound of a heavy object being hit in front of the front of the car, but the car just pushed forward and stopped in place again.
But Li Mengnan still stood in front of the car, looking at the two people in the car with a half-smile.
The young man slapped the strong man in black on the back of the head and said angrily: "Fuck! Ah Qiang, what are you doing again? I asked you to run over, why did you stop again? Do you still want to do it?"
"Master, this is none of my business! Something went wrong with the car for some reason. The engine is still running, but it won't move when I step on the accelerator! Look if you don't believe me!"
The strong man in black argued aggrievedly and gave up half of his body to let the young man look at his feet. As expected, no matter how hard he stepped on the accelerator, the car didn't respond at all.
"I bought a watch last year! What kind of junk car is this!" The young man cursed and kicked the car door. He walked to the front of the car, frowned and stared at Li Mengnan and said: "Boy, what do you want to do? I hate the money I just paid you.
Isn’t it enough? I’ll give you another thousand, and give it to me quickly! If you are greedy, don’t blame me for being rude!”
While he was talking, another handful of red bills were thrown at him.
Li Mengnan smiled, sat down on the front of the car, stepped on the bumper with one foot, crossed his legs with the other, took out a cigarette, lit it and held it in his mouth.
"How does it feel to throw money at someone? To be honest, I haven't tried it, but it seems to be quite enjoyable..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pile of rice dollars almost as thick as bricks suddenly appeared out of thin air in Li Mengnan's hand. He rounded it up and slapped it hard on the young man's forehead.
"I asked you to throw money at me! It's amazing to have money! I hate it when someone throws money at me! And you should throw more money at me! One thousand or two thousand, you look down on me so much!"
Although banknotes are paper products, they can't hold up in large quantities! What's even more unethical is that instead of holding the money flat, Li Mengnan held the money upright and smashed it with the side of the banknote. The hardness was no different from a brick.
In two or three blows, the young man was hit all over his face.
"Master!"
No one expected that Li Mengnan, who was smiling just now, would suddenly break out and hurt someone without any warning.
The strong man in black in the driver's seat was immediately shocked. He stood up and was about to rush out of the car, but suddenly found that the car door next to him seemed to be stuck by something, and he could not open it no matter how hard he tried.
"You just stay inside and wait until I finish cleaning up your young master before I talk about your business."
Li Mengnan glanced at the strong man in black, and then continued to play his "money-throwing" game.
"Master! Master! Is there anyone there? Come and save people!"
Seeing his young master being beaten by the thugs who came out of nowhere, the strong man in black was so anxious that he was sweating. He called the police and smashed the car window desperately to ask for help.
But what he never expected was that although there were many people passing by, they seemed unaware of what was happening here.
No, to be precise, he felt as if there was an invisible force that completely separated him from the outside world. He could see everything around him, but others could not see him.
This...what happened?
The strong man in black suddenly felt an inexplicable chill rising from his back. Even if the air conditioner in the car was turned on, it could not eliminate the chill from the bottom of his heart.
The young man outside the car had been beaten so badly by Li Mengnan that he looked almost inhuman. His originally handsome face was completely swollen into a pig's head. At first, he could scream with confidence, but later he couldn't move at all.
I could only lie on the hood and hum weakly.
"Not to mention, it's much better to hit people with money than bricks..." Li Mengnan nodded with satisfaction, threw the large pile of rice dollars in his hand aside like trash, and grabbed the young man's clothes.
The leader raised it in front of him, blowing a breath of second-hand smoke on his face, and said: "Even if you let someone drive a car to hit me, let's talk about another thing... what happened to the girl behind your car?
?”
"She... drank too much, so I asked A... Aqiang to carry her out and send her... home..."
The young man looked at Li Mengnan as if he were looking at a devil. He didn't know whether Li Mengnan was trying to throw money, crash the car, or the girl behind the car, so he answered with trepidation and caution.
.
"Go home? Are you so kind?" Li Mengnan pretended to knock him on the head, and the young man immediately screamed like a reflex, "Let me ask you, that pretty boy... Oh, where is the boy with this girl?
