When Xiong Jiandong had almost finished the two bottles of beer, and after waiting for more than half an hour and still not seeing Tan Qibiao, Fan Lizhi came to the restaurant.
He started to get a little anxious.
Xiong Jiandong thought to himself that Fan Lizhi, as a Hollywood porn star in San Francisco, would naturally pay great attention to her image, but even if she wanted to dress up carefully in the room, it had been more than an hour and she should have done it long ago.
.
Previously, the reason why Xiong Jiandong came to the restaurant in advance was that he had understood in advance that this resort hotel was relatively quiet and it was difficult to see other restaurants in the vicinity.
Therefore, he concluded that Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi had no reason to leave the resort immediately and go to eat elsewhere on the first night they stayed.
Unless someone has already set up a dinner party for them tonight.
But Xiong Jiandong immediately denied this worry.
Because, regarding Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi's trip to Sanya this time, they must consider minimizing their exposure to the public, otherwise they would not stay away from the city center and stay at this resort on Phoenix Island.
Just as Xiong Jiandong was wondering, Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi appeared.
However, the seats they chose were several tables away from Xiong Jiandong. If the two of them planned to talk about something, it would be difficult for Xiong Jiandong to hear.
Xiong Jiandong was originally sitting in a place by the window. At this time, he made up his mind not to change his seat immediately to the side of these two people.
Otherwise, it will undoubtedly attract their attention to him.
After all, Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi came to Sanya to meet with them on a dirty mission arranged by Lu Zhichao, so they would instinctively remain vigilant about their surroundings.
What Xiong Jiandong could observe from a distance was only the attitudes and expressions shown by Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi when they were talking.
But there is one thing that Xiong Jiandong has already thought of.
This is because Tan Qibiao clearly knew about the personal relationship between Fan Lizhi and Lu Zhichao, because he had always been attentive and polite to Fan Lizhi from the first time he met her at the dock until he came to have dinner.
.
However, what puzzled Xiong Jiandong was that Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi stayed at their seats for a long time without immediately intending to order.
A waiter came to them twice with a menu and was asked to wait for a while.
Perhaps Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi were waiting for other guests to come.
From the window, I saw that it was getting dark outside.
Xiong Jiandong called the waiter over and ordered a steamed fish and fresh stewed soup.
The waiter reminded him that these two dishes were complicated to make and might take a certain amount of time to serve them.
This is actually Xiong Jiandong's original intention to extend his time in the restaurant as much as possible.
As soon as the waiter walked away, Xiong Jiandong looked through the window and suddenly noticed a car driving over from a distance with its headlights on.
Then, Tan Qibiao took out his cell phone, answered a few times, and whispered something to Fan Lizhi.
Fan Lizhi had no expression on his face and just nodded indifferently.
Tan Qibiao walked out of the restaurant.
The car parked outside Xiong Jiandong's window, and a man driving alone got out.
Tan Qibiao stayed with the man in front of the car and muttered for more than ten minutes before leading him into the restaurant.
The man was in his forties, wore a pair of myopic glasses, and was carrying a huge briefcase in his hand.
Although the temperature in Sanya has been in the high 30s these days, the men still wear suits and ties and wear tight ties.
When they walked up to Fan Lizhi and were introduced to each other by Tan Qibiao, the man shook hands cautiously and bowed slightly.
Xiong Jiandong could tell at a glance that this guy clearly had a typical intellectual mentality. He was the kind of person who was mentally fragile and could easily be lured into selling his soul. If he was bribed by Lu Zhichao and Fan Lizhi, he would naturally not do anything.
strangeness.
Fan Lizhi, however, changed her previous behavior, smiled at the man, and gestured considerately for him to take off his suit and sit down next to her.
The man looked completely flattered, pointed to the leather bag he had brought, and whispered something mysteriously to Fan Lizhi.
Fan Lizhi nodded frequently to the man, looking a little surprised but also very satisfied.
Xiong Jiandong judged in his heart: "I wonder what is in that leather bag? If it really contains the secret information that Lu Zhichao wants, I believe it will be difficult for Fan Lizhi to pass the border inspection and take it out of the country."
Tan Qibiao began to order, and the man and Fan Lizhi seemed very familiar. They kept whispering and joking.
"This woman is really inconsistent, her acting skills in front of men are different at different times!"
Xiong Jiandong thought in his mind.
At this time, most of the guests in the restaurant had already left one after another.
Since his food had already been served, Xiong Jingzhao decided not to show any deliberate attention to Tan Qibiao and the others, so as not to attract their attention.
After finishing his meal, he paid the bill, quickly left the restaurant and got into his car.
It probably took nearly an hour before Tan Qibiao and the others finished their meal, left the restaurant, and walked towards Tinghaiju.
Xiong Jiandong quietly got out of the car and followed from a distance.
When they were about to reach Tinghaiju, Tan Qibiao didn't know why, but he deliberately slowed down and distanced himself from Fan Lizhi and the man.
Later, Tan Qibiao actually stood at the entrance of Tinghaiju, looking closely at several travel posters on the aisle.
It was obvious that he was deliberately leaving time for the man to enter Fan Lizhi's room to avoid mutual embarrassment.
Xiong Jiandong also stopped in the darkness dozens of meters away.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
Because the sight of Tan Qibiao's back from a distance reminded him of last year, when he was Hua Nianping, a few days after returning to Beijing from aid to Xinjiang, he met Lin Sirer for the first time at the entrance of the School of Economics of the Renmin University. At that time, he had noticed
, there was a thin man standing in front of the newspaper window not far from the two of them.
Later, when Hua Nianping and Wu Ningfang divorced, in order to borrow 300,000 yuan from Lin Sirer, the two agreed to meet again at the gate of the School of Economics of Renmin University, and saw the same thin man again.
, also appeared in front of the window.
At that time, Hua Nianping still suspected that Lin Sirer's parents or uncle were sending people to monitor every meeting between Lin Sirer and him.
Moreover, at the beginning of this year, Hua Nianping was appointed as the chairman of Enyuan Group. At that time, he accepted Hou Yiying's invitation and went to participate in the God-making Competition held by the "Yupan Forum" to commend him. At that time, he met him for the first time as a sponsor.
The representative, Tan Qibiao, felt very familiar for a moment.
Unexpectedly, I didn't realize it until now. Through Tan Qibiao's back at this time, I finally became aware of these past events.
