Chapter 216 Li Fan, why are you being so nice to me?
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhuang has been retired for so many years, and his reputation has not diminished at all. In less than half an hour, he gathered hundreds of big shots in the provincial capital."
Li Dakang turned his head and glanced at Lao Zhuang, and said with some admiration: "He is indeed the underground emperor back then!"
"What kind of underground emperor, Xiao Li, don't give me such nonsense. It's been so many years since the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. How can there be any emperor who is not an emperor?"
"It's just because I'm old, they just give me face."
"Besides, I asked them to come here just to support me. I don't need them to do anything for me. How could they have any reason to refuse?"
"These people have all received favors from me. If they had not come, they would have been scolded. By coming here, they have returned a favor to me."
"Why don't they do it? Don't you think so, Xiao Li?" Mr. Zhuang laughed.
Li Dakang smiled and said: "This is the debt of gratitude from hundreds of people. Mr. Zhuang, are you too kind to me?"
"If it weren't for you, would I still be standing here?" Mr. Zhuang sighed: "Without you blocking that shot for me, I would have died five years ago."
"You saved my life, can't you still pay the debt of gratitude to these hundreds of people?" Mr. Zhuang said with a complicated smile.
Li Dakang smiled and stopped talking.
"Now that your son's matter has been settled, would you like to go to my mountain and have a few drinks?" Mr. Zhuang asked.
Li Dakang shook his head: "I came to the provincial capital this time to see my son."
"Let's drink wine next time." Li Dakang refused Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang said with some displeasure: "You old boy, you are trying to burn bridges by crossing the river. I just helped you, but you don't even want to drink with me?"
"Forget it, it's not the time yet."
Li Dakang shook his head again: "If you simply want me to drink with you, I will naturally be willing to accompany you until you get drunk."
Li Dakang naturally knew that Mr. Zhuang's invitation was not just for a drink or a get-together.
After leaving without saying goodbye three years ago, Mr. Zhuang would naturally ask about it.
Mr. Zhuang will also ask questions about what he has experienced in the past three years.
Li Dakang didn't want to say this yet, so he had no choice but to reject Lao Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang was a little disappointed, but he did not continue the invitation. Instead, he said: "Whenever you are willing to help me solve my doubts, come to the mountain to find me."
"By the way, when you come back this time, you won't run away again, right?" After a pause, Mr. Zhuang suddenly asked.
"No way." Li Dakang shook his head.
"That's good." Mr. Zhuang nodded happily: "By the way, my health is getting worse. Remember to come to the mountain to find me early."
After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he got into his car.
Miao Cui sighed and said, "It's actually for his own good if you don't tell him."
Li Dakang said: "Let's go and see our son."
"Didn't you say you missed this kid?"
"What, you don't want to?" Miao Cui rolled her eyes at Li Dakang and walked into the car.
At this time, Li Dakang frowned: "I'd better drive. I'm afraid of taking your car."
"What's there to be afraid of? You dare to even fly. Why, it's safer for me to drive than to fly?" Miao Cui rolled her eyes at Li Dakang.
Li Dakang didn't know what to say, so he silently got into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
In the Mercedes-Benz Grand G, Li Fan turned his head and asked Lin Qingqing: "Sister, what do you think Zhang Gongming has to hide?"
"I think Zhang Gongming seems to have some difficulties in following Mu Xiaobai." Li Fan said.
"What difficulties could Zhang Gongming have? He is the same type of person as my father. They are both greedy for power and always want to be the boss."
"He follows Mu Xiaobai simply because Mu Xiaobai can let him sit in the boss's position." Lin Qingqing snorted and said.
Li Fan shook his head and said, "Sister Qingqing, I don't think so."
"Just now, I had been staring at Zhang Gongming. When Mu Xiaobai asked him to throw me into the river, Zhang Gongming refused at first."
As Li Fan was talking, Lin Qingqing interrupted him: "Didn't Zhang Gongming agree in the end? He almost threw you into the river, you forgot!"
"I didn't forget it, I just noticed something."
"Mu Xiaobai said to Zhang Gongming, 'If you don't throw me into the river, then everything Mu Xiaobai promised to Zhang Gongming will not count.'"
"What does this sentence mean? What did Mu Xiaobai promise to Zhang Gongming? I think this is the real reason why Zhang Gongming followed Mu Xiaobai."
"It was after Mu Xiaobai said these words that Zhang Gongming made up his mind to throw me into the river."
Li Fan felt that what Mu Xiaobai said obviously had a deeper meaning.
"You mean, Mu Xiaobai has something Zhang Gongming needs in his hands?" Lin Qingqing asked Li Fan.
"Yes, that's what it means."
"Moreover, when Zhang Gongming threw me into the river, he kept telling me to hold my breath. He told me that as long as I held my breath, I could float out of the river without choking to death."
"When you were caught by the tiger and put in the car, you told me not to worry about you. He said that he would ensure your safety and not let anyone hurt you."
"Sister Qing, I am absolutely sure that Zhang Gongming did not betray us. There is definitely an unspeakable secret behind his seeking refuge with Mu Xiaobai."
"If Zhang Gongming was really obsessed with profit and became Mu Xiaobai's lackey, how could he miss you and me?"
"Do you think so?" Li Fan asked, looking at Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing frowned and said, "Why doesn't he tell us what he has to hide?"
Li Fan was also thinking about this issue.
"Sister, could you please contact Xiao Zhou and ask him to secretly ask Zhang Gongming out? Let's meet and ask him clearly in person. What do you think?" Li Fan suggested.
Lin Qingqing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I think it's better to forget it. Zhang Gongming and I grew up together. Although he is usually careless and carefree, he is actually quite capable of hiding things.
"
"If he doesn't want to tell you, even if you ask him a hundred times in person, he won't tell you."
"If he wants to say something, there is no need for you to ask him out. Since he knows that I have a personal connection with Xiao Zhou, he can find out where I live."
"Besides, he still remembers your phone number."
"Whether he wants to contact you or me, he can do it easily. Mu Xiaobai will not keep an eye on him for 24 hours. The reason why he doesn't contact us is clearly because he doesn't want to tell us."
Obviously, Lin Qingqing knows Zhang Gongming better than Li Fan.
"By the way, where are we going?" Lin Qingqing suddenly asked after the car had been driving for a long time.
"Go back and buy a house."
Li Fan thought for a while and said: "Mu Xiaobai has already entered the hospital and will definitely not go back for a while."
"I took a quick look just now. The villas on the mountainside are quite good. Each villa is independent. No matter how noisy the anchors are, it will not affect other villas. This way, it will not cause disturbance to the residents." Li Fan
said.
The so-called mid-level villa, as the name suggests, is a villa built on a mountain.
After going up the mountain, there are countless roads, each of which leads to an independent villa.
Li Fan only took one look and fell in love with it.
"Yes, Mu Xiaobai was stabbed twice by you this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the hospital for a while." Lin Qingqing didn't know whether to be worried or happy.
"Mu Xiaobai lost a lot of blood, is his life in danger?" Lin Qingqing asked.
"That shouldn't happen, right? It's so easy for a person to die alone, and Tiger immediately took him to the hospital. I believe he will be fine."
"Even if he dies, he deserves it. Who asked him to pester you?" Li Fan said angrily.
Hearing this sentence, Lin Qingqing felt a warmth flowing through her heart for some reason.
Lin Qingqing glanced at Li Fan and said with some emotion: "Xiao Fan, why are you so nice to my sister?"
"Because you are good to me." Li Fan said matter-of-factly.
Lin Qingqing laughed, looked at Li Fan, and asked: "Xiaofan, are you really planning to save me from Mu Xiaobai?"
"That's for sure!" Li Fan said immediately without thinking, "If Mu Xiaobai still pesters you, I will give him two more blows."
After hearing this, Lin Qingqing chuckled: "You might as well just kill him. How can he bear these two blows?"
With that said, Lin Qingqing turned the car and headed towards the mountainside villa.
Behind the Mercedes-Benz G was Miao Cui and Li Dakang's car.
