On the streets in the evening, the lights were on. Although it was still cold in spring, the beauty-loving girls had already put on light spring clothes. Tweed skirts and black stockings were everywhere on the street. A light rain fell from morning to evening, and the air was filled with the smell of tender green grass.
The fresh smell of buds washed by rain...
Li Wan is sitting on the window seat of the Seine River Restaurant, holding a small silver spoon in his hand, stirring the fragrant coffee. This is a newly opened French restaurant. The chef was hired from Paris and knows how to cook.
Authentic white wine-baked snails and asparagus soup. The restaurant is located on Binjiang Avenue. It is quiet, warm and elegant. Although the price is staggeringly high, it is still crowded.
The place was chosen by Li Wan. The corners of Li Wan's mouth turned upward when he thought that since they met Liu Ziguang, the two of them had never eaten alone together. When the little girls in the group talked about Liu Ziguang, their eyes shone with admiration. In fact,
Who knows who a man is? Liu Ziguang, despite the dazzling halo of a hero on his head, is neat and tidy in his conduct and has a lot of justice, but in fact he is just a lump in the wind and doesn't know how to be romantic at all. This time he finally got the idea
He even took the initiative to invite Li Wan to dinner, which made the young female CEO feel excited.
Li Wan dressed up specially today, wearing a simple thin woolen skirt and a coat, looking elegant and gentle. The construction contractor of this restaurant is the Zhicheng Group, so Li Wan has a supreme gift from their manager.
The gold card allows you to enjoy reserved VIP seats on the second floor. The manager also personally sent a bottle of French wine just now. This is also one of the special treatments enjoyed by supreme guests.
Looking at the watch, it's already seven o'clock, and Liu Ziguang hasn't come yet. Isn't this guy going to buy some weird gift again? Last time, he actually gave Xiao Cheng a "grass mud horse" stuffed toy.
I'm very embarrassed, I don't know what I'm going to do this time.
After thinking about it, Li Wan smiled inadvertently. His quiet face and soft smile made the waiter standing far away feel a shudder in his heart.
…
In the banquet hall of Xuan Palace Hotel, the largest private room, the huge round table was filled with guests. These people came to the banquet at the invitation of Chen Xuanwu, including leaders from the Construction Bureau, the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the China Construction Bank
The president of the company, the director of the news department of the TV station, etc. are all prominent figures in Jiangbei City.
Zhuo Li was also sitting among them. The former security officer of Chenguang Machinery Factory has become a king-level figure in Jiangbei City's entertainment industry. He is not afraid at all sitting with these leaders. Although these sanctimonious guys look like modest gentlemen now,
, He is not so reserved in the high-end private rooms of Huaqing Pool. For example, Lao Wang from China Construction Bank, who is over 50 years old, is more energetic than a young man. Sometimes even two or three technicians cannot satisfy him.
The cold dish platter and appetizers have been put on the table. The tea in front of the guests has been cold and replenished several times. However, the main guests have not yet arrived. Zhuo Li noticed that Chen Xuanwu's face was already a little ugly. He
I couldn't help but secretly complain to Liu Ziguang. After all, he was the eldest brother, but he didn't know how to be flexible and flexible. Chen Xuanwu took the initiative to show his kindness, and then the next question was, who can't get along with money?
Time passed by, and it was already past the time for the banquet. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, the private room door opened, and Han Siqing, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, walked in.
Although the people present here are all top figures in each unit, they are still a bit behind Director Han. The Public Security Bureau is a deputy municipal level unit, and the Director of Public Security is half a grade higher than other directors, not to mention Han Temple.
Qing Huan was about to take over as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, so everyone stood up and greeted him politely. Han Siqing also shook hands with everyone in turn. When he saw that no one moved their chopsticks, he took a wine glass and said:
"Sorry everyone, I delayed your meal."
Everyone laughed and said that they would have to drink three drinks as a penalty. Han Siqing did not refuse and took a goblet and said, "Okay, then I will toast everyone."
Mu Lianheng quickly winked at the waiter. The service staff in the hotel are all attentive people who are good at observing words and expressions. He immediately stepped forward to help Director Han pour half a glass of red wine. Han Siqing raised his glass and said, "I'm going to have a chat with Hu Hu in the evening."
The mayor is discussing the creation of a safe and civilized city. I can’t drink too much. Please understand.” After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all. Everyone applauded. Han Siqing smiled and said, “Sit down and drink slowly. I’m sorry.”
." Then he turned around and left. Chen Xuanwu hurriedly chased him out. He didn't know what he said to Han Siqing in the corridor, and he didn't come back until five minutes later.
Chen Xuanwu was very angry. He had been pampered since childhood and his emotions and anger would show on his face. Liu Ziguang's absence made him embarrassed in front of everyone and completely exhausted his patience. He was the deputy general manager of Xuanwu Group and had made these appointments.
The heads of Jiangbei City came over to accompany him, and even invited the director of public security. He believed that Liu Ziguang had no reason to refuse such a grand request.
He even prepared a plan. At the banquet, he first introduced the glorious history and strong strength of the Xuanwu Group to Liu Ziguang, and then proposed several cooperation plans that the other party could not refuse. Land acquisition, earthwork transportation, and park security were all profitable projects.
When the banquet reaches its climax, he will ask for a sworn marriage to Liu Ziguang. Isn't this what they pay attention to in society?
I completely satisfied their vanity and became sworn sworn sworn friends as the crown prince of the Xuanwu Group. I was definitely giving them face.
But after waiting for a full hour, there was no sign of Liu Ziguang. Director Han was slightly unhappy just now and criticized himself a few words. This made Chen Xuanwu even more angry. When he returned to the private room, his face was covered with frost.
The waiter brought the hot dishes up like a shuttle. Chen Xuanwu picked up the wine glass and said a few perfunctory words. Everyone here was a smart person. It was impossible not to see that Mr. Chen was in a bad mood. So after three rounds of drinking, some people started to urinate and escape.
After dinner, two more people excused themselves and left beforehand. Twenty minutes later, only Zhuo Li and Chen Xuanwu were left at the wine table.
The atmosphere was a little depressing. Chen Xuanwu lit up a cigarette and said, "Mr. Zhuo, you have to give me an explanation for today's matter."
Zhuo Li said: "Brother Liu doesn't want to come, how can I still kidnap him?"
"You call him now, right away!"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Zhuo Li's mouth: "Young Master Chen, do you want to play tricks?"
A bodyguard behind Chen Xuanhou pointed at Zhuo Li and shouted: "Mr. Chen asks you to fight, so you fight, stop talking nonsense!"
Zhuo Li suddenly stood up, glared at the person who spoke and said, "Say it again."
Chen Xuanwu was no longer patient. He looked away and the bodyguard standing in the corner immediately stepped forward and stabbed Zhuo Li's waist with an electric shock device. After a burst of electric current, Zhuo Li twitched twice and lay on the ground.
, the bodyguard took out handcuffs and handcuffed him to a chair behind his back.
"Chen Xuanwu, you dare to touch me, are you tired of living?" Zhuo Li said calmly after waking up.
Chen Xuanwu squatted down, stared into Zhuo Li's eyes and said word by word: "Brother, do you want to play gangster tricks with me? Do you know what the Xuanwu Group did in the past? I'm the one who does what you guys are doing.
It's shameless to play with the rest when you are sixteen, so don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he turned back, sat down, crossed his legs, and ordered: "Call Liu Ziguang and give him ten minutes to get here."
When the call was connected, Liu Ziguang happened to drive to the door of the Seine River Restaurant. Li Wan, who was on the second floor, had already seen his car and the flowers on the passenger seat. He couldn't help but smile, thinking that he must be
Went to buy flowers temporarily.
Just as he was about to drive into the restaurant parking lot, his cell phone rang suddenly. Liu Ziguang pressed the button and asked, "Who is that?"
A cold voice came: "Liu Ziguang, you have to arrive at the Xuan Palace Hotel within ten minutes. If you are a minute late, Zhuo Li will be missing a part."
, and then heard Zhuo Li's breathless voice: "Guangzi, you are serious, please be careful."
Then came that cold voice again: "Wait, Mr. Chen has something to say to you..."
…
Liu Ziguang hung up the phone, directly shifted into reverse gear and stepped on the accelerator. The car quickly rolled backwards. There was a sudden braking sound on Binjiang Avenue. The drivers stretched out their heads and cursed. Liu Ziguang remained unmoved and took out his police lights and put them on the car.
From the top, the sirens blared and they drove in the opposite direction.
Li Wan saw this scene, shook her head slightly and put down the curtains. Her phone rang, she picked it up and said softly: "Hello?"
"Sorry, I'm a little late, that's all." Liu Ziguang hung up the phone after saying that.
The waiter came forward and asked: "Ma'am, can you order now?"
"Wait a little longer."
…
Liu Ziguang stared ahead, speeding through the sea of cars. Binjiang Avenue was a closed lane. In order to get to the Xuan Palace Hotel as soon as possible, he could only go in the opposite direction. Around seven o'clock was the busiest time on the road, and the traffic was turbulent.
, the Enclave shuttled back and forth like a swimming fish, driving backwards for a kilometer before finding a fork in the road, turning the steering wheel and turning at the same time, grabbing the phone and dialing Huaqingchi's number.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Liu Ziguang became irritable and was about to hang up when suddenly a stranger answered the phone and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who are you?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"I'm from the city bureau's anti-pornography office, which unit do you belong to?" the other party replied with great momentum. Liu Ziguang knew that Huaqingchi must have been raided, so he threw his phone to the side and stepped on the accelerator. Angkre roared and passed a hundred.
He rushed towards the Xuan Palace Hotel at a fast speed.
Xuan Palace Hotel is a long-established hotel in Jiangbei City with a long history and a superior location. However, due to poor management in recent years, it has begun to decline. At the beginning of this year, Xuanwu Group invested 10 million to control this hotel. In fact, Xuan Palace Hotel
The hotel was already owned by the Chen family. At around 7:30, when the hotel was busy, the security guard in the parking lot saw an off-road vehicle with police lights on it driving in at lightning speed and braked suddenly at the door of the hotel.
After stopping, the people in the car jumped out and rushed in, as fast as a gust of wind. By the time they reacted, the people had disappeared.
The luxurious banquet hall on the top floor has been reserved by Mr. Chen. All the waiters have withdrawn. The corridor is quiet. With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opens. Liu Ziguang walks out alone and looks around. Several men in black are standing against the wall.
, with his hands folded on his crotch, he looked like a professional bodyguard.
"It's a jianghu thing. You know what to do." Liu Ziguang's ears echoed with the threat that Mr. Chen made to him on the phone just now. He knew very well what the other party meant. With the background of the Xuanwu Group, it was useless to call the police.
It is unrealistic to call the brothers to rescue people. The other party has already prepared a backup plan. The seizure of Huaqing Pool is proof of this. The brothers are probably already squatting in the branch compound with handcuffs at this time. Master Chen only left one for himself.
