However, before he finished speaking, a young man's voice came from behind him, "A real man is responsible for his own work, so just come to me if you have anything. My grandpa is old. If something goes wrong, you can't bear it."
rise!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Li Qiang followed the words. After carefully looking at the young man, he asked: "Are you Yao Zuyan?"
"That's right! If a man can change his name or surname, I am the Yao Zuyan you are looking for."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Qiang winked at the horse captain, who immediately understood and took control of him himself without saying a word.
"you……"
"Shh!" Yao Jinlin was about to say something when he saw that his precious grandson had suffered a loss, but was interrupted by Li Qiang, "Mr. Yao, until the matter is investigated clearly, I advise you to stay calm for a while. This will be better for everyone."
good."
After saying that, Li Qiang took Yao Zuyan from Captain Ma's hand and put him into the car without any explanation.
Yao Zuyan was still struggling desperately at first, but when he got in the car and saw Zhou Huihai, whose face was so gloomy that he was about to drip with tears, his whole person suddenly calmed down, and he even managed to squeeze out a smile.
He said to her: "Sister Huihai?! I didn't expect you to be here too?"
"Who is your sister?" Zhou Huihai said coldly, "My lady's patience is limited and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I just want to ask you, does my brother's disappearance have anything to do with you?"
"this……"
"So it's relevant?" Just when Yao Zuyan was still hesitating, Zhou Huihai had already made his own judgment, and then continued to ask, "Where is he?"
"I really don't know!"
"I don't know? I saw you two sneaking out together last night, and now you tell me that you don't know where they are. Do you think I will believe it?"
"Yes, we sneaked out together last night, but we just went to Paramount to dance for a while, and then we separated."
"How long did you dance for?"
"Only two or three hours!"
"and after?"
"Then I got a little sleepy, and then we separated."
"Really?" Zhou Huihai confirmed with a suspicious look.
"Of course it's true! I swear!"
Zhou Huihai waved her hand without thinking, "Don't rush to swear, what you said is true or false, I will investigate it soon!"
After saying that, he winked at Li Qiang, who immediately opened the door and got out of the car without saying anything. It took about five minutes before he returned to the car.
"How's it going? Did you ask clearly?"
"Let me ask clearly. According to Paramount's manager Su's recollection, the two of them did not go to Paramount to dance at all last night."
"This...isn't this wrong? Why do you think we didn't go to Paramount to dance just based on that person's words?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are right. We cannot conclude that you are lying just based on that person's words. But after you heard what I just said,
But the reaction clearly told me that you are lying!"
"I don't!"
"No, you do! Just now, when you were defending yourself, you suddenly raised your voice, and this was a sign of your guilty conscience. And in the process, you showed three inappropriate smiles, and this...
It is also a common expression used by liars to conceal their inner emotions."
"That's ridiculous, how do you know if I'm really smiling or fake?" To be honest, Yao Zuyan was extremely panicked at this moment, but he still pretended to be calm and defended himself.
Li Qiang just smiled, "This is simple, because if a person really smiles, wrinkles will naturally appear at the corners of his eyes, but if he fakes a smile, there will be no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. What you just said
Not only were there no wrinkles at the corners of your eyes when you smiled, but your eyes were always paying attention to my reaction, so I concluded that you were lying!"
Yao Zuyan didn't want to be able to defend himself, so he just threw the pot and threw it, "Huh! Whatever you say, I just said one sentence, if you don't know, you don't know! Don't expect to ask anything about him from my mouth!"
"Oh, really? I don't see that you are quite loyal."
"Of course! A true man should keep his promise and his righteousness first!" Yao Zuyan replied with a proud look on his face.
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang smiled and said to him: "So, you admit that you know the whereabouts of Master Zhou?"
"I...I didn't!"
"You still say no? Then what promise have you kept and what kind of loyalty are you talking about?"
With one sentence, Yao Zuyan fell into silence.
At this moment, Zhou Huihai's voice also sounded, "Brother Yao, please tell me where my brother is! My mother was already furious after learning the news that he had run away.
The disease has relapsed, are you so cruel that you would rather let him become an unfilial son than keep the promise you made?"
If Li Qiang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Li Qiang to believe that a teenage girl could have such superb acting skills. She could be as cold as ice one second, but she could be so charming the next second, so pitiful that her speed was simply
It’s comparable to Sichuan’s face changing.
However, despite the fact that Yao Zuyan was always a "real man" and shouted slogans so loudly, he was simply not enough in front of Zhou Huihai. He was defeated in a few words and truthfully told Zhou Youhai that he planned to "go to Hangzhou first, and then go to Chongqing."
escape plan.
…
"Miss Zhou is truly worthy of being Mr. Zhou's daughter. With a little trick, she was able to extract information from the man named Yao. It's really admirable!"
On the way back, Li Qiang said to Zhou Huihai sincerely.
"It's just a small trick, it's nothing. If Brother Aqiang hadn't seen through his lies, I probably wouldn't have been able to make that decision, so I hope that when I meet my father later, you can take all the credit alone, okay?
"
To be honest, Li Qiang has seen people grabbing credit and vying for credit, but it is really rare to see someone take the initiative to give credit to others.
Because of this, Li Qiang's evaluation of her has improved a bit.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang agreed without thinking: "Of course."
Zhou Huihai seemed to be very satisfied with Li Qiang's decisive and straightforward answer, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Soon, the car drove back to Zhou's mansion.
At this time, Zhou Fohai was sitting in the living room with his arms folded without saying a word. Sitting directly opposite Li Qiang was Li Qiang's old acquaintance, Nan Zao Yunzi, head of the Shanghai Special Class 1.
"Mr. Zhou, Section Chief Nanzao!" As soon as he entered the living room, Li Qiang immediately stood up and said respectfully.
Zhou Fohai waved his hand, "I heard that you and Hui Hai went to Yao Mansion, how was it? Did you find out anything?"
Li Qiang did not hide anything, and quickly replied truthfully: "According to Yao Zuyan's account, Master Zhou should have thought of running away from home because he was being guarded and monitored day and night..."
"None of this is important. I just want to know, where are they now?"
"You should have boarded the train and headed towards Hangzhou."
"Hangzhou..." Zhou Fohai pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly looked at Nanzo Yunzi who was sitting opposite, and then picked up the phone at hand, "Hello? Is it Xie Wenchao? It's me, Zhou Fohai
.Listen, you take people to the station immediately and bring my son back! Yes, you go in person, I don’t worry about others. Okay, I’ll wait for your news.”
However, just after Zhou Fohai hung up the phone, the housekeeper Ah Fu hurriedly walked in.
"master!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Fohai straightened his face and said sternly: "Ah Fu, you really don't know the rules anymore! Didn't you see that I am entertaining distinguished guests?"
"Master, please calm down. Someone just sent a letter outside the door. The envelope turned out to be the young master's handwriting, so the young master..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Fohai didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He suddenly became excited and asked quickly: "Where is the letter?"
"Here it is!" As he said that, Ah Fu handed the letter into Zhou Fohai's hand.
As soon as he got it, Zhou Fohai couldn't wait to open the envelope. After seeing the contents inside, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but then he slammed the letter on the coffee table and said angrily:
"This little bastard is getting harder and harder to discipline! He has caused such a big trouble! When he comes back, I will have to skin him!"
As the saying goes, bystanders know better. Li Qiang, an onlooker, naturally knew that Zhou Fohai's words were actually meant for Nan Zao Yunzi.
Although Nan Zao Yunzi could also see that Zhou Fohai's words were mostly staged, he did not point it out on the spot. Instead, after taking a curious look at the content of the letter, he took the initiative to invite Zhou Youhai, "Mr. Zhou
, this is your fault. It must be that you are too strict with your son on weekdays, which led to what happened today. But then again, your son is just a little playful, didn't he say so in the letter?
, did he sneak out because he was afraid of your disapproval?"
"Miss Yunzi, you don't need to intercede for him. I think this little brat just needs discipline. Let's see how I deal with him when he comes back!"
…
Half an hour later, before Zhou Youhai's train arrived at Hangzhou Station, Hangzhou District Chief Xie Wenchao and a large group of spies had already filled the platform.
After another half hour or so, the train slowly pulled into the station.
As soon as Zhou Youhai got out of the car, he keenly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He immediately guessed that his whereabouts had been exposed. So after a brief thought, he decided not to make any resistance and allowed the spies to surround him.
It wasn't until Zhou Youhai was surrounded that Xie Wenchao came up to him with a smile and said, "Master Zhou, are you okay?"
Looking at Xie Wenchao's big, smiling face, Zhou Youhai couldn't help but want to give him a few hard blows, but in the end he held back, and then put on a surprised look and asked knowingly
: "District Chief Xie? I really didn't expect to meet you here. Looking at this posture, you can't be taking any action, right?"
Xie Wenchao was not stupid either. He naturally knew that Zhou Youhai was acting with him, but he did not point it out on the spot. Instead, he directly ordered someone to "invite" him into the VIP room.
"District Chief Xie, what are you doing?"
"What to do? I should be the one to ask this, right? Master Zhou, if you don't just stay at home, why are you here?"
"Why, I'm too bored at home, why don't you come out for some fresh air?"
"Okay! But if you just run out without even saying hello, then the nature of it will be different."
"Why is it different? It's just a greeting. Isn't it the same thing to hit first and then hit later? District Chief Xie, are you making too much of a fuss?"
However, before he finished speaking, Xie Wenchao lowered his voice and said to him: "Master Zhou, please don't explain. Since I'm here, it means that your plan has been completely exposed, so I advise you to cooperate obediently and don't let me
Difficult to do.”
"I can cooperate, but after I go back, I hope District Chief Xie can give me a reasonable explanation!"
"sure!"
In this way, Zhou Youhai was "escorted" back to Shanghai by Xie Wenchao himself. Although he remained silent along the way, his resentment towards Zhou Fohai had already increased.
At the same time that Zhou Youhai was put on the train, a tall and thin figure on the platform pressed the hat on his head, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Appeared generally...
"Father, I..." As soon as Zhou Youhai returned home, he was startled by the huge crowd of people in the living room. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and speak tremblingly.
However, just as he started, he was interrupted by Zhou Fohai, "Shut up, I don't want to listen to any of your sophistry! Ah Fu?"
Before he finished speaking, the butler Ah Fu came over and said, "Master!"
"Take the young master back to his room. Without my permission, he is not allowed to step out of the room again!"
"yes!"
Although Zhou Youhai was very unconvinced, he couldn't be too disobedient in front of so many outsiders, so he had no choice but to follow the housekeeper back to his room.
Zhou Fohai then turned to Xie Wenchao and said, "It's really hard for you, Wenchao! I bother you to go there in person for this traitor. Brother, I really don't know how to thank you."
"Don't say that, Mr. Zhou, it's just a small effort and I don't deserve a word of 'thank you' from you!"
"That's right! How come it's not right? How about I personally host it someday and we two can have a nice drink?"
“I can’t ask for anything more!”
"Then it's settled. Ah Qiang, send me a thank you to the district chief."
"Yes!" Li Qiang responded quickly after hearing this, and then came to Xie Wenchao and said respectfully, "Thank you, district chief!"
It was only then that Xie Wenchao recognized Li Qiang. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses, nodded gently, and then followed Li Qiang out of the living room.
