Chapter 18: The Great Wine Between Men
I returned to my apartment in despair, originally fantasizing that I would run the bar business well, and then secretly cultivate a force, and when I stood at a height with Zhao Yan, I would pursue her, but I never thought that she would marry Zhou Haotian.
"Why?" asked Cang Tian speechlessly, his heart full of unwillingness.
"It must be Zhou Haotian who used something to coerce Zhao Yan. ”
"Yes, definitely. ”
"What can make Zhao Yan comply?" the answer was about to come out.
"Could it be that Zhou Haotian found some evidence of Zhou Mingde's death?
"If that's the case, it's really possible to make Zhao Yan succumb, or some kind of deal has been reached between the two of them. I thought to myself.
But even if he guessed correctly, he didn't know how to stop it now, as long as Zhao Yan was determined, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.
"Do you want to kill Zhou Haotian?" a bold idea arose in his heart.
......
That night, I invited Yu Zhi's Fa Xiaoma Liang to dinner, and in order to show the restatement, the venue was set at the Chinese restaurant of Jiangcheng Hotel.
Ma Liang is dressed very plainly, with a gray shirt and black trousers, he is a little taller than Yu Zhi, and his appearance is very ordinary, the kind that can't be found in the crowd, and his whole face has no characteristics at all.
However, his body is straight, his skin is dark, and the muscles of his arms are exposed, and he is full of aggression at first glance.
"Brother, this is my hair pony bright. Yu Zhi introduced: "I have been a scout for ten years. ”
"Ma Liang, call Brother Qiang. ”
"What is Brother Qiang, just call me Wang Qiang, I admire soldiers the most. I said, and then shook Ma Liang's hand warmly, and it could be seen that the other party didn't seem to want to come to eat this meal.
"The waiter served the food. I shouted.
Soon the food and drinks were put on the table, and it was very hearty.
With Yu Zhi, Ma Liang is not too faceless, but he doesn't talk much, just drinking with his head bored.
I glanced at Yu Zhi, and he shook his head slightly, with an embarrassed expression.
Slightly poured, the wine has been passed three times, and the dishes have been tasted five times.
Ma Liang put down his chopsticks and said, "We also know each other, I still have something to do, so let's go first." ”
"Ryoko, what's the hurry. Yu Zhi immediately grabbed him.
"Brother Ma Liang, I heard Yu Zhi say that you are in a hurry to get married, but the woman's parents must have a house before they allow you to register, right?" I said, knowing that I couldn't be verbose anymore, I went straight to the point, and the bayonet was red.
Ma Liang frowned slightly, glared at Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi immediately said, "Brother Qiang is not an outsider. ”
"Brother Ma Liang, Yu Zhi is my brother, you are Yu Zhi's brother, then you are also my brother, this is a bit winding, I am not very good at talking, there are 300,000 yuan in the card, you pay a down payment first, and the marriage is knotted." I said, and then put a bank card in front of Ma Liang.
He just wanted to speak, and I *** said: "Even if I lend you, according to the bank interest, you don't have to owe me a favor, if you still find it difficult to accept this, then even if I give it to Yu Zhi by mistake, Yu Zhi lent it to you, okay?"
Ma Liang frowned tightly and did not speak, it could be seen that he was very moved.
"If you really want to thank me, just invite me to a wedding drink when you get married. I said.
"Liangzi, take it, you and Xiaoxue have been together for so many years, if you can't get married this time, this marriage will be really yellow. Yu Zhi said.
Ma Liang didn't speak, he was silent for about ten seconds, he reached out and picked up the remaining half bottle of liquor on the table, goodong, goodong...... Drink it all in one gulp.
"Brother Qiang, I have the cheekiness to take this money, and I will definitely pay you back. Ma Liang said.
"There's no need to rush to return it. I said.
"Let's go first. Ma Liang stood up, turned around and left the box, I immediately gave Yu Zhi a look, and he immediately followed.
The money was collected, and he helped Ma Liang solve the problem, no matter what he said, this favor is owed, and the favor in the world is the most difficult to repay.
originally thought that this was a seed of human affection, plant it first, and let Ma Liang return it when something happened later, but three days later, Yu Zhi took him to find me again.
I was drinking in the drunken dream bar, Zhao Yan and Zhou Haotian held a wedding in the middle of the month, and there were only thirteen days left before their wedding, and I still haven't come up with a foolproof plan, as for killing each other, it is very difficult, these three days, I stared at Zhou Haotian alone, and there were two professional bodyguards by the other party's side at any time, and it was difficult to start.
Taking 10,000 steps back and saying that even if you can kill the other party, you can't escape the pursuit of the police, and you can't retreat with your whole body, this plan is a failed plan.
I didn't sleep well for a few days because I was worried about this, I lost a lot of hair, and I was drinking in a bar, Yu Zhi came with Ma Liang.
"Brother Ma Liang is here, sit down, brother, brother invites you to drink. "I drank a little too much and spoke a little bit unpleasantly.
Ma Liang was not polite, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, looking preoccupied.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"His mother-in-law is too much, the loan to buy the house is not good, you must pay in full, and the woman's name must be written, otherwise, they will not be registered. Yu Zhi said.
"What kind of difficulty is this, isn't it just money, Brother Ma Liang, brother lends it to you. I really drank a little too much, put my hand on Ma Liang's shoulder and said, "Brother is bitter in my heart." ”
"The woman I like is going to marry someone else in thirteen days, and I can't do anything, forget it, don't talk about it, drink. I shouted.
That night, Ma Liang and I drank too much, and I don't know how Yu Zhi got the two of us back.
When I woke up the next day, I slept on the bed in my apartment, patted my head, which was still aching, and couldn't remember what had happened last night.
After washing up, I was about to go down to eat, and there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Brother, it's me. Yu Zhi's voice came in from outside the door.
I opened the door and found that Ma Liang was also there, and they were still carrying breakfast in their hands.
Between men and men, a big drink can definitely quickly shorten the distance between each other and eliminate the feeling of alienation.
Last night, Ma Liang and I had something on our minds, and we drank a lot of foreign appearances, and when we had breakfast together, Yu Zhi kept talking.
"Alright, alright, you must be exaggerating. I said.
"Yes, it's definitely an exaggerated rhetorical device. Ma Liang echoed.
The two of us instantly became a united front.
After breakfast, Ma Liang was about to go back, I grabbed him and said, "Liangzi, give me the card number, I will give you one million in a while, and we will buy a full house for my mother-in-law to see." ”
"Brother, that ......"
"Needless to say, brother, you can't lose a woman because of money, the pain of losing your heart is too uncomfortable, brother has tried this taste alone, don't worry, when you have money and when you pay it back, if you still refuse, you just look down on me." I said.
In the end, Ma Liang left a card number, and I asked Chen Xiaoman to transfer 1 million from the public account to the other party on the same day.
The next day, I received a call from Yu Zhi: "Hey, brother, Liangzi just bought the house that I had been optimistic about for a long time, and I want to invite you to dinner tonight." ”
"Okay, where?" I asked.
"Yu Ji food stalls. ”
"Good!"
After hanging up the phone, I drove to the Rose Lane Community, and in the past few days, I have called Zhao Yan almost every day, but as long as I tell her about Zhou Haotian, she will hang up the phone immediately.
I came to the door a few times, and I also ate the closed door, I didn't give up, and I came again today.
But this time, I didn't even enter the gate of the community.
"I'm looking for Zhao Yan, Ms. Zhao, I'm her good friend. I said.
"It's Ms. Zhao who specially told us, saying that you have been harassing her a lot recently, and you won't let us in again, sorry, please return the car. The community security guard said.
I hesitated for a while, and finally I had no choice but to drive away.
I parked the car on the side of the road and came to the river alone, the autumn river breeze was a little cool, I shrank my body, my expression was very sad, just like the autumn leaves, there was a trace of gloom.
lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, looking at the river from afar, but it was very painful in my heart, and after a few minutes, I couldn't help it, so I took out my mobile phone and dialed Zhao Yan's phone again.
This time the call finally came through: "Hey, sister, why don't you dare to see me? What the hell is going on? Tell me?"
"Nothing happened, Wang Qiang, let's not meet again in the future. Zhao Yan said coldly.
"Why?" I exclaimed.
"There is no why. Zhao Yan said.
"Sister, you know that there is a fire pit in front of you, why do you want to jump into it? Zhou Haotian is threatening you with something? Tell me. I shouted.
"No, you think too much, hang up. Zhao Yan said, and then hung up the phone.
Honk...... Honk......
"Sister, sister?" I yelled a few times, but unfortunately there was only a blind sound on my phone.
"Damn, if you don't say it, I can find the answer myself. I thought to myself.
At this moment, Ringing ......
The mobile phone rang, thinking that Zhao Yan was calling back, so he didn't look at the caller ID, and immediately said, "Hey, sister!"
"Sister, I don't have a brother like you. Duan Shulan's voice came from the phone.
"Officer Duan, it's you, what's the matter with me?" I regained my composure and asked lightly.
"Liu San has already let it go, you should be careful yourself. Duan Shulan said.
"Why did you let him go?" I widened.
After investigation, all merchants did not admit the matter of protection fees, and Liu San also flatly denied it. Duan Shulan said.
"He took money from my bar and I can testify. I said.
"That Gu Xiaobei said that there was no such thing, and we had investigated, and Gu Xiaobei had already returned the money that night. Duan Shulan said.
"What?" I widened my eyes and was very angry in my heart, because Gu Xiaobei had obviously betrayed himself in this matter.
"Be careful, you can call me if you have something. Duan Shulan said, and then hung up the phone.
"Damn, isn't it too late to call you again if you have something!" I frowned, and said secretly in my heart: "Liu San will definitely not give up when he comes out this time, after all, he has been detained by the police for a few days because of his own reasons." ”
"What should I do?"
I felt like things were coming together and coming at me.
