When Ma Long came down from upstairs, he saw Chu Hongyan sitting alone in the restaurant. There was a small plate of sandwiches and a cup of hot milk on the table in front of her.
There is a foreign maid at home, and even the three meals must be Westernized, Ma Long couldn't help but think to himself.
"Good morning, Sister Xiaohong, you got up so early." Ma Long came to sit opposite her and greeted her happily.
Her face was still a little pale due to excessive blood loss. After seeing Ma Long, she forced a smile. Her brows were furrowed and she seemed to be thinking about a problem just now.
"I didn't expect Brother Ma to still remember me and save my life. Thank you."
At this time, Lily came out of the kitchen carrying a tray with sandwiches and milk on it. She respectfully bent down and set breakfast for Malone, then bowed and left.
Ma Long glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. The more she accepted the situation, the less he dared to take it lightly. Last night, Ma Long got a phone report from Zhou Qingqing and learned that Lily had a private conversation with the United States during the day.
Although Zhou Qingqing is usually careless and careless, it seems that she really got along with Lily and became best friends. In fact, she was placed next to Lily by Ma Long to monitor her. Of course, Zhou Qingqing's friendship with Lily is not false at all, but Ma Long's instructions to her
She has not forgotten that between Ma Long and Lily, she can still distinguish between friends and enemies far away.
He came back to his senses and faced the frowning Chu Hongyan and said, "I just happened to bump into you last night. Of course I will help you. In fact, I didn't recognize you at first."
"Me too, it was so dark at the time, I thought you were with them." Chu Hongyan said with a wry smile.
"Who are they?" Malone asked.
Chu Hongyan lowered her head, reached out and grabbed the cup and took a big sip of milk. She seemed to taste the bitter taste in the milk, and her brows furrowed deeper. After a long while, she slowly explained: "They are all my father."
His subordinates..."
It turns out? Ma Long noticed this past tense and asked: "What about now?"
"Now they are all one-eyed men."
One-eyed? Ma Long thought that this man must be a one-eyed dragon. This might be his nickname.
Chu Hongyan raised her head and saw Ma Long's suspicious expression, knowing that he couldn't figure out who was who, so she explained: "Brother Ma, you should know who I am, right?"
Ma Long nodded. The boss of the Chixuan Group, one of the two major underground forces in the local area, is her father.
"One-eye is my father's right-hand man. When he first debuted, he lost one eye to protect his father during his retreat. Since then, my father has treated him like a son. In recent years, he has even climbed into the organization.
The second-in-command position is very powerful."
It was indeed the old-fashioned plot of the second-in-command usurping the first-in-command position. Ma Long came to a conclusion in his mind, "So he betrayed your father and also got the support of most of you Chi Xuan?"
Chu Hongyan nodded with a painful expression and continued: "Over the years, my father has gradually delegated power, and his former confidants have washed their hands one by one because of their age. Now most of the Chixuan group are one-eyed.
Although I am the appointed successor, I have always been opposed by many people because of my gender. One-eye is using this to win over people's hearts while simultaneously ostracizing my father and excluding dissidents. Just when I
When I was traveling abroad some time ago, he suddenly took action and replaced my father's position. I didn't get any news at all while abroad, and I was intercepted and killed as soon as I got off the plane. Fortunately, I met you, Xiao Ma."
"Then how is your father?" Ma Long thought that the pain in her expression just now was probably related to her father. It would be better to lead her to talk about it than to keep it in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Chu Hongyan shook her head and whispered: "I don't know either. Some brothers who came to pick me up last night told me that my father is under house arrest, but his life is in danger at any time."
"Then we have to find a way to rescue your father first." Ma Long said, taking a bite of the sandwich. It tasted pretty good. Compared with the greasy soy milk and fried dough sticks, the sandwich was lighter. "Sister Xiaohong, you'll be here first."
Recuperate here and we will slowly figure out a solution. If you stay here, I guarantee that no one can hurt you." Ma Long assured her.
Chu Hongyan showed a grateful look, "Thank you very much, Brother Xiao Ma. If I can get your help, I may have a better chance of winning. I have also heard some rumors about you..."
The girls upstairs gradually came down from the embroidered building, sat at the dining table, and greeted each other. No one asked Chu Hongyan anything, as if she was a member of the family, which made Chu Hongyan feel like
Very pleased.
Lily brought out another large tray, placed a breakfast for everyone, and poured another glass of milk for Ma Long and Chu Hongyan.
"Susan, have we not been peaceful in the South China Sea recently?" Ma Long suddenly remembered what Feng Lingxue told him yesterday, saying that the dark forces were surging, and once such little minions started to cause trouble, it would be a big trouble.
Susan thought for a while and said: "I didn't find anything unusual, just like usual."
"You're not lazy at work, are you?" Ma Long teased, "By the way, you haven't been busy doing criminal investigation during this period. Hey, it's useless to ask you."
"Then you still talk so much nonsense." Susan took a big bite of the sandwich, as if she was biting into Malone's flesh. "I don't do criminal investigation work all for you and your school, and leave it to others.
Damn it, can you believe it? Your school will be surrounded by the media today."
Ma Long smiled and said: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously. I told you to do me this favor and I will treat you to dinner. How about we have a big meal together tonight. It can be regarded as a temporary welcome to Chu Hongyan
Live with us..." He suddenly stopped, thinking that Chu Hongyan was not worried about her father yet, so maybe she shouldn't celebrate like this.
Chu Hongyan smiled at everyone, not wanting to offend everyone because of herself, and besides, she couldn't solve any problems no matter how anxious she was, so she thought she might as well relax. "Then thank you everyone, Brother Xiao Ma, you
Treat me, I'll pay the bill."
"Great!" Zhou Qingqing was the first to stand up and cheer, and suggested, "I heard from Lily that French dinner is the most delicious. Let's go to have French dinner tonight!"
After breakfast, everyone went out one after another. Chu Hongyan stayed at home to recuperate, and was taken care of by Lily and Zhou Qingqing.
When he arrived at the school, Ma Long saw many people crowded at the school gate, seemingly looking at something. He was curious and didn't know what notices had been posted by the school, so he walked over quickly.
