Chapter five hundred and eighty second water passenger
As the leader of the new generation of the Meng family, the Meng family naturally would not let Meng Lin's political future be affected. All things had been arranged before the trip.
Not long after Meng Lin made the call, Bettina's cell phone rang. After answering the call and saying a few words, Bettina turned around and left the ward. This time her mission was completed.
"Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry."
When only the Meng Lin brother and sister were left in the ward, Meng Yao's eyes were a little red. At the moment when she blocked Qin Feng's gun, she did not think about the feelings of her family.
"Silly girl, isn't this okay?"
After hearing what his sister said, Meng Lin's heart trembled suddenly. He reached out and touched Meng Yao's hair and said, "Yao Yao, what happened, can you tell my brother?"
Meng Lin is not a fool like Hua Xiaotong. He is a top student who graduated from Zhenger Bajing Public Security University. Although he did not witness the incident with his own eyes, after hearing the full story, he still felt something was wrong.
According to Hua Xiaotong, when the gunman fired, Meng Yao was facing that person, so why didn't he take any action to avoid it? And if the gunman was aiming at Meng Yao, why didn't he shoot Meng Yao again?
"Brother, I don't know either, I'm so scared."
Meng Yao shook his head and said, "I saw someone shoot at me at that time. What happened after I was shot, I...I don't even know..."
Meng Yao has never told a lie since she was a child. This is the first time she has lied to her brother, so the expression on her face is not very natural, and her eyelids are slightly lowered.
"Yao Yao, is everything you said true?" Who is Meng Lin? He saw many loopholes in his sister's words at a glance.
"Of course it's true. I was dumbfounded when I saw the gun." Meng Yao nodded his head vigorously, but his face turned redder.
"Are you afraid of guns?"
Meng Lin was dumbfounded when he heard this. When Meng Yao was seven or eight years old, the old man in the family took his brother and sister to the shooting range. Meng Yao, who was not as tall as an old-fashioned rifle, dared to shoot.
"Brother, shooting a gun and being pointed at a gun are two different things!" Meng Yao gently grabbed his brother's sleeve and shook it, just like when he was a child and asked his brother for something.
At this moment, Meng Yao really regretted letting Liu Zimo notify Qin Feng to come and see her. She didn't expect her brother to be so suspicious, and he might recognize Qin Feng.
"Yao Yao, I heard there was someone there at that time. Who was that?" Meng Lin's heart softened when his sister grabbed him by the sleeve. However, in order to find out more about the matter, Meng Lin steeled himself and asked.
"That's Liu Zimo's friend..."
Meng Yao said: "That person seems to be here to participate in some gambling competition. Xiaotong lost money in the casino, and Liu Zimo asked that person to help win it back..."
At this moment, her best friend also wanted to use it as a shield, but Meng Yao knew that her brother was not the kind of person to talk too much, and he would definitely not tell the Chinese elders after he returned home.
"Liu Zimo is Qin Feng's friend?"
Meng Lin finally brought the topic to Qin Feng. For some reason, he always felt that Qin Feng's shadow was hidden behind this matter.
What's even more coincidental is that the day before Meng Lin came to the United States, he went to "True Jade Shop", but the fat man named Xie Xuan told Meng Lin that Qin Feng had gone to the south to purchase goods.
After working in the police industry for a long time, his imagination has always been particularly rich. Meng Lin was still wondering whether this matter had something to do with Qin Feng when he was on the plane.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Hearing Qin Feng's name, Meng Yao became unhappy, his face tightened, and he said: "Liu Zimo is Xiaotong's boyfriend, what does it have to do with Qin Feng? Then again, Qin Feng is in the country, and he has nothing to do with this matter.
What does it matter?"
Being shot in the chest would inevitably damage the lungs. Meng Yao spoke a little hastily and couldn't help coughing, and his little face suddenly turned pale.
"Oh, I didn't say anything. Yaoyao, don't be angry. Why don't you stop asking me?"
Seeing his sister's painful look, Meng Lin couldn't help but panic, and quickly helped Meng Yao sit up, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to his sister.
"Brother, it's also about you. If you don't like to hear it, forget it."
Meng Lin looked at his sister with distress. He had doted on this sister since he was a child, and he couldn't bear to see Meng Yao suffer any injustice. The current look on his sister really made him feel heartbroken.
"Brother, don't always look at people through colored glasses..."
Although Meng Yao knew that he shouldn't mention Qin Feng at this time, he couldn't help but help Qin Feng distinguish it and said: "I think Qin Feng is very good. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he also has strong personal abilities. He can do what he does no matter how old he is.
An industry like "Zhen Yufang"..."
Someone once said that men with experience are the most attractive to women. This sentence is absolutely correct. Although Qin Feng is young, many people may not encounter things he has experienced in their lifetime.
"I know everything you said."
Meng Lin sighed after hearing this and said: "Brother knows more things than you. Qin Feng is indeed a very good person, but he is definitely not suitable for you, or we should say that he is not suitable for our Meng family..."
Although with the current power of the Meng family, there is no need for marriage to consolidate their political status.
But the Meng family also wanted to save face. They would rather marry their daughter to a white man than allow Meng Yao to marry a man who had killed someone and been sent to prison.
"Brother, I was just talking casually."
Meng Yao knew his brother's temper. After mentioning it, he immediately brought up the topic of child beating. He turned his eyes and said, "Brother, is there anything else? Tieba! Xiaotong called in, I... I have to go to the bathroom.
…”
After much thought, Meng Yao could only send a message to Liu Zimo through Hua Xiaotong, asking him to inform Qin Feng not to come. Fortunately, her reason was strong enough, and Meng Lin could only stand up after hearing this.
"Dong...dong dong..." Just when Meng Lin left the ward, there was a knock on the door.
"Can I come in?" A mandarin with a slight Hong Kong accent said.
"Who?"
Meng Lin frowned. He had arranged for several special forces personnel to be on guard outside. How come someone could still break into the door of the ward casually?
But Meng Lin didn't see that when the knock on the door rang, his sister's expression changed because Meng Yao had already heard that it was Qin Feng's voice.
"Xiaotong, who is he?"
After opening the door to the ward, Meng Lin found three people standing at the door. Hua Xiaotong and Liu Zimo were both familiar to him, but the face of the person standing in the middle was obscured by a bouquet of flowers.
"Brother Meng Lin, his name is Wu Zhe, he is from Hong Kong Island."
Hua Xiaotong was a little afraid of Meng Lin and explained hurriedly: "Wu Zhe is... a friend of my friend. He once helped us some. He... he and Yaoyao also know each other."
"What's this mess?"
Meng Lin shook his head speechlessly and said: "Compatriots from Hong Kong Island, right? Thank you for coming to see my sister. She is resting. Just don't..."
"Is Meng Sheng the brother of Miss Meng Yao? Hello, hello..."
Before Meng Lin finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party. Then a hand stretched out from under the bouquet of flowers and shook Meng Lin's hand accurately.
Before Meng Lin could react, the man stuffed a large bouquet of flowers into Meng Lin's arms, and his body blocking the door was squeezed aside at some point.
"Holy shit, who the hell is this person?"
Even though Meng Lin had a very strict upbringing since childhood, he couldn't help but curse in his heart at this moment. If the other party had malicious intentions, wouldn't that directly expose his sister to danger?
"Hey, stop here..." Thinking of this, Meng Lin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, quickly pushed aside the bouquet of flowers in his arms and turned around to chase after the ward.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Meng Lin's shout, the man stopped and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Meng Sheng, the flowers in the United States are so expensive, why did you throw them on the ground?"
After throwing away the flowers, the man walked to Meng Yao's bedside and said, "Miss Meng, I heard that you are going back to China. I came here to see you. I hope you can recover soon..."
"Oh, thank you Mr. Wu." Meng Yao suppressed her laughter and said, "I'm fine now. Thank you very much for the flowers, Mr. Wu. Tongtong, please put them here for me..."
With her brother by her side, Meng Yao did not dare to show any emotion in her words, but she blinked at Qin Feng with a smile in her eyes. She had never seen her usually mature and steady brother being teased like this.
Pass.
"Welcome Miss Meng to visit Hong Kong Island in the future, please give me a call then!" To be honest, Qin Feng was a little nervous after coming in, but after seeing Meng Yao, his mood gradually calmed down.
"Hey, Mr. Wu, I haven't seen your face since you came in. Isn't this a bit rude?"
Qin Feng had just sent an invitation to Meng Yao when Meng Lin's voice came from behind him. However, compared to the hostility towards Qin Feng, this voice was much more consistent.
This is because when Meng Lin looks at "Wu Zhe" from behind, his shoulders are wider than Qin Feng's, and his height is also a bit taller. It looks like he should be about 1.85 meters.
In fact, as long as it is not Qin Feng, Meng Lin does not object to his sister falling in love. If Mr. "Wu Zhe" is really a young talent, he does not mind his sister dating him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." After Meng Lin's words, the "Wu Zhe" turned around and went to shake hands with Meng Lin enthusiastically.
"Hello Meng Sheng, my name is Wu Zhe. I usually travel between Hong Kong Island and Macao Island, doing some work related to the gambling industry." Speaking Hong Kong Mandarin, Qin Feng and Meng Lin looked at each other.
.
"Huh? Why does it feel familiar?"
Meng Lin frowned slightly when he looked at Qin Feng's appearance. To be honest, "Wu Zhe" didn't look very good. Although his facial features were fairly square, his raised eyebrows gave people a very frivolous look.
a feeling of.
"Mr. Wu, have we met?" Meng Lin asked seemingly casually while sizing him up.
"Has Meng Sheng been to Ao Island? Why does it look so familiar? You must have played in a casino."
Qin Feng shook Meng Lin's hand vigorously a few times and said loudly: "Next time Meng Sheng goes to the casino on Ao Island, be sure to call me first. I guarantee you can win 1.8 million."
"Win your sister?"
After hearing what the other party said, the corners of Meng Lin's mouth twitched. Not long ago, he had dealt with several officials who used public funds to gamble on Ao Island. How could he do such a thing?
"Brother Meng Lin, Wu Zhe is very powerful. He helped us win more than one million US dollars in the casino here."
Hua Xiaotong saw that Meng Lin's face was a little ugly, and quickly helped him by saying that this "Wu Zhe" was Liu Zimo's friend anyway. If he belittled "Wu Zhe", Liu Zimo's face would also be ugly.
"Haha. Mr. Wu is very powerful. I wonder what your occupation is?" Meng Lin smiled, shook his head, and continued to ask. You just beg for food in the casino, and occasionally do some import and export trade...!
Qin Feng put on a very humble look and said: "It's a small business, just a living. Meng Sheng, if you have any goods to bring in Hong Kong and Macao, all you need is a phone call to take care of everything."
"
"Bring...bring goods?"
Qin Feng's words made Meng Lin stunned for a while. He knew what it meant to bring goods in the coastal areas of Hong Kong and Macao, but he never thought that this kid actually did this?
Since Hong Kong Island is one of the two largest duty-free ports in the world, almost all foreign brands sold on Hong Kong Island are duty-free. As a result, things on Hong Kong Island are nearly half cheaper than those on the mainland.
In Hong Kong and Macao, there is a profession called "water merchants" who specialize in bringing some electronic goods with heavy tariffs into the customs, such as high-end watches, mobile phones and computers.
As for the profession of being a water customer, not everyone can do it.
If you want to be a water passenger, you must first have Hong Kong Island status, because when clearing customs, Hong Kong Islanders can enter through automatic gates, unlike people from the mainland who have to go through manual inspection before entering and exiting.
To put it bluntly, smuggling is actually smuggling. The reason why Meng Lin understands it so well is because he has conducted some research on this phenomenon.
So this is what Mr. Wu is doing? The corners of Meng Lin's mouth twitched a little. He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but he really couldn't smile when facing this kind of person.
"Haha, it's just a casual meal."
Wu Zhe seemed to be very proud of his profession and said: "I have been studying gambling recently and rarely bring goods. However, if you need it, Meng Sheng, I can provide everything from TVs to mobile phones and computers."
I can help you bring it out."
"You also study gambling?"
Meng Lin was a little curious about this person. To be honest, the work he did in the public security system was more than research and actual handling of cases. To put it bluntly, he was aloof and did not know much about the specific situation below.
"Of course, my gambling skills are very good."
Seeing that Meng Lin didn't recognize him at all, Qin Feng relaxed and bragged with Meng Lin for a while, which was equivalent to spending more time with Meng Yao.
"Meng Sheng, to tell you the truth..."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Qin Feng's words, and he danced and said: "If I hadn't participated in the finals of this gambling competition held in Las Vegas, the championship would definitely be mine."
"Oh, Mr. Wu is really awesome."
Seeing Qin Feng's look, Meng Lin lost a lot of his wariness, because he knew that his sister didn't like men who talked too much, so just because he looked like this, he didn't have to worry about his sister becoming fond of him.
But at this point, Meng Lin no longer wanted to talk nonsense with Qin Feng, and said immediately: "Mr. Wu, thank you very much for coming to visit Meng Yao, but we are leaving soon, and there are still some preparations to be done, don't you think?"
"Ah, okay, then I'll take my leave first!"
Qin Feng hadn't pretended to be such an idiot to Wu Zhe. After hearing Meng Lin's expulsion order, he said: "Meng Sheng, if you want to bring something with you in the future, you must find me. Old Liu has my phone number...
"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Meng Lin pushed "Wu Zhe" out of the door. When he looked back, he looked dumbfounded. With his status, when had he ever dealt with such a small person?
"Tongtong, who are these people?" After seeing Wu Zhe disappear at the end of the corridor, Meng Lin turned around and said angrily to Hua Xiaotong.
"Brother Meng Lin, he... he is really powerful." Hua Xiaotong shrank her neck. Although she hated Wu Zhe, she still wanted to protect Liu Zimo's face.
"You little girls, don't trust others' words easily and be fooled by others!" Meng Lin shook his head and said, "Yao Yao called you in for something, so hurry up and get there!"
"Hey, stop, the girl is in trouble, why are you trying to get in?" Seeing that Liu Zimo was about to follow Meng Yao in, Meng Lin quickly stopped him.
"Hey, Brother Lin, you smoke..."
Thinking of Qin Feng's performance just now, Liu Zimo couldn't help laughing. Meng Lin looked very shrewd. Wasn't he deceived by his brother?
"I said you're not a good guy either. It's best to stay away from Hua Xiaotong."
Meng Lin glanced at Liu Zimo angrily. He had read Liu Zimo's file several times before coming to the United States and knew that he was from the Liu family in Cangzhou and had joined the Hongmen in the United States.
In addition, Meng Lin knew that Liu Zimo and Qin Feng were familiar with each other, so his words did not sound good.
"Hey, Brother Meng, I respect you, but I can't listen to you on this matter."
Liu Zimo rubbed his neck and said: "Tongtong and I really love each other. You can't do that thing of beating the couple. Besides, you are not Tongtong, so why should you help him make the decision?"
"Yes, I really can't do it. Someone will tell you about this."
Seeing Liu Zimo's innocent look, Liu Zimo was very happy. He was indeed a dog trying to interfere with a mouse and meddling in his own business. The Hua family was not a small family, so naturally someone would argue with this bastard about this matter.
"Hey, I said you can't cause trouble in the middle!!" Liu Zimo's words came from behind, making Meng Lin stagger. Is he the kind of person who talks behind his back?
