"Time and place?" asked Liu Chen crisply.

"I don't know, I don't know. Zhu Min replied embarrassedly.

"Find a way to ask, I'll wait for your information. After Liu Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone, Zhu Min slowly put down the phone, and Liu Chen's words echoed in his mind.

The struggle between Liu Chen and Hu Lizhen, but she was caught in the middle, no one on either side could not afford to offend, Zhu Min was very painful and afraid, she was afraid that she would become a victim of the struggle between the two of them.

After Zhu Min packed the things, he took them to Hu Lizhen's office, rubbed his wrist and asked, "Mr. Hu, who are you going to give such a valuable gift?"

"A friend. Hu Lizhen smoked a cigarette and looked out the window, leisurely.

"Will you send it tonight?"

"Tomorrow night. Hu Lizhen glanced back at Zhu Min.

"It's not far away, do you need to send a car to send it?"

"It's in the Hou family ancestral hall, I'll just drive there by myself, hey, why are you asking so much?" Hu Lizhen shook the ash of his cigarette and turned his head to ask.

Zhu Min hurriedly explained: "No, I'm just afraid that I won't take good care of you." ”

Hu Lizhen's eyes stared at Zhu Min, and suddenly stretched out his hand to beckon, "Come here." ”

Zhu Min thought that he was exposed, and his teeth chattered: "What...... What's wrong?"

"If you are told to come over, you will come!" Hu Lizhen said impatiently.

Zhu Min nervously moved in front of Hu Lizhen, and he didn't dare to come out.

Hu Lizhen stretched out her hand, slowly stretched out to Zhu Min, patted her waist and laughed: "Look at what scares you, am I so terrible?"

Zhu Min gasped with relief, patted his chest and said, "Mr. Hu, your aura is too strong. ”

"Aura?ha......" Hu Lizhen felt a huge pleasure, the first time someone praised his aura, he was very satisfied, this is also the goal he has always imitated in the military and civilians.

After leaving Hu Lizhen's office, Zhu Min came to the bathroom and prepared to secretly send a message to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen quickly picked up the phone and asked stiffly, "Do you know everything?"

Zhu Min looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he whispered: "Tomorrow night, the Hou family ancestral hall." ”

"What time is tomorrow night?"

"I didn't dare to ask too much, he almost doubted me. ”

"Okay, thank you, thank you. Liu Chen's tone slowed down, not as sharp as when he first picked up the phone.

Zhu Min was shocked by Liu Chen's sudden thanks, and said with a smile: "Uh, hey, it's not hard." ”

"I'll remember that you helped me. Liu Chen hung up the phone after leaving a sentence, Zhu Min suddenly felt that she was not so humble, and she had a feeling of being respected, which warmed her heart like a spring breeze.

After getting off work the next day, Hu Lizhen did not go home, but had dinner downstairs in the company, returned to the office and waited until about the same time, and then walked to the garage alone.

He unlocked the car, got into the car, combed his hair in the rearview mirror, picked his teeth, took out his mobile phone and turned over a few messages before slowly starting the car and driving out.

After about 20 minutes of driving, the car stopped, Hu Lizhen turned off the fire, opened the trunk, and when he took the mobile phone on the seat, he suddenly felt a figure floating behind the car.

"Why are you dazzled after only having a glass of wine in the evening?" he teased himself, picked up the gift, and handsomely pressed the switch on the car key, and the trunk closed gently.

The ancestral hall of the Hou family is actually a big mansion, which is built in imitation of the architectural style of the Republic of China, the owner's surname is Hou, known as Hou Ye, is the oldest big brother in the river, more than eighty years old, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was a famous big brother in the whole country, he was a bandit, and later under the pressure of the new government, he changed his evil and returned to the right, and An An started a business separately, after the reform and opening up, he made a lot of money while taking advantage of the east wind, and he was the big brother who needed to be worshiped by the underworld under the whole river, and he had to be called Hou Ye.

It's just that in recent years, due to physical reasons, he has gradually stopped asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but no matter what the affairs of the rivers and lakes, once he goes out, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Hu Lizhen caught up with this big brother this time, and he was introduced by Yu Junmin at the beginning, so Yu Junmin really wanted to cultivate him at the beginning, but he never imagined that he would look away and even lose his life because of it.

Hu Lizhen knocked on the door of the Hou family ancestral hall, the door was opened by a housekeeper in his forties, and after Hu Lizhen gave him a secret signal, he was allowed to enter.

At this time, Liu Chen was leaning against a locust tree, observing Hu Lizhen's every move. After Hu Lizhen entered, he climbed down the tree and prepared to climb into the wall more than three meters high.

Liu Chen, who was as light as a swallow, easily climbed the high fence with the help of several support points, but was about to climb into the courtyard when he suddenly saw the courtyard full of security personnel with weapons in their hands. The key is that the weapons in their hands are not ordinary electric batons and the like, but a long spear, which is difficult to judge the authenticity of these guns for the time being, but it is enough to deter ordinary thieves.

Liu Chen hurriedly lowered his body and hidden, secretly observing the situation inside.

Hu Lizhen followed the housekeeper all the way through this group of security personnel, passed a checkpoint, and entered the second courtyard, which was also guarded by heavy security personnel, and finally came to a wing room in the north.

After the housekeeper asked for instructions inside, the door of the wing room was opened, and two young girls went out to greet them. Hu Lizhen looked at them with a smile and walked into the room.

Liu Chen hurriedly followed and came to the roof of the wing. Fortunately, there was no moon to be seen tonight, and no one noticed Liu Chen's existence.

He tried to quietly turn over the roof tiles, but they were so sturdy that it took a lot of effort to remove them. Through the gap, you can clearly see Hu Lizhen and an elderly man talking, and the old man is surrounded by two young girls who have just come out to greet him.

This is the first time Liu Chen has seen the legendary big brother in the rivers and lakes, looking at his temperament, bright eyes, and face that has experienced vicissitudes of life, he is worthy of being a big brother, much more aura than Hu Lizhen's stunned young man.

Hu Lizhen bowed respectfully to Hou Ye and greeted his old man: "Hou Ye, Xiao Hu has come to visit your old man's house, how are you doing lately?"

Hou Ye nodded at him, frowned and said, "Xiaohu, I have a heart, hey, I'm old, and my legs have been hurting for the past few days." ”

Hu Lizhen hurriedly handed over the gift in his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, it just so happens that I have brought some supplements for treating backache and leg pain, and I am filial to your old man." ”

"Aha, Xiao Hu is really sensible, good! haha, good!" Hou Ye was full of praise for Hu Lizhen's intentions and gave a thumbs up.

Hu Lizhen was flattered and said: "Master Hou, you have made Xiao Hu ashamed, this little gift is not enough to worry about." ”

Hu Lizhen's honey-coated mouth made Hou Ye very happy, and he sighed with emotion: "Xiaohu, you remind me of my little grandson who is far away abroad, about the same age as you, but he hasn't come back to visit me for a long time, hey." ”

Hu Lizhen saw the Hou Ye's thoughts, and said with a pretentious gesture: "Which elder in the world doesn't want his children and grandchildren to come home often." If Master Hou doesn't dislike it, I'll come over to chat and play chess with you when I'm free in the future. ”

Hou Ye watched Hu Lizhen not speak for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, still not saying anything, and the laughter lasted for a long time.

After the laughter stopped, Hou Ye said loudly: "Xiao Hu, if you have any requirements, just say it, Hou Ye, I will definitely meet you." ”

Hou Ye's eyes that saw the world could not see the real purpose behind Hu Lizhen's dedication? He knew that Hu Lizhen must have asked for him, and it just so happened that he saw that Hu Lizhen was also quite good at talking, so he took the initiative to uncover the matter.

Hu Lizhen was pleasantly surprised when she heard Hou Ye say this, but on the surface, she still pretended to be very polite and modest, "Thank you Hou Ye for your love, in fact, I did encounter some trouble, and I want to ask Hou Ye to help solve it." ”

"Jianghu affairs?"

"Yes, I know that in Jiangxia, as long as Hou Ye comes forward, there is nothing that cannot be solved, I hope Hou Ye can help me once. Hu Lizhen said sincerely.

Hou Ye hasn't asked about the rivers and lakes for a long time, but this Hu Lizhen is quite pleasing to the eye, and he visited in person, as a big brother, you should still take care of the younger generations on the road, otherwise if it spreads, people will say that you are stingy.

"Who did you provoke?" asked Hou Ye leisurely while fiddling with the sandalwood Buddha beads.

"There is a new young man on the road, named Liu Chen. Hu Lizhen looked at Hou Ye expectantly, hoping that he could help him deal with Liu Chen.

"Liu Chen?" Hou Ye's thoughts went back to the last time he had tea with Yu Junmin, and Yu Junmin also specifically mentioned this person named Liu Chen, it is said that this person is young and frivolous, and there is no one in his eyes, and he wants to turn over a piece of the sky on the road under the river.

Hou Ye has always liked a sweet-mouthed young man like Hu Lizhen, and he doesn't like an arrogant young man like Liu Chen. I was talking about when I was going to meet this young man, but as soon as Yu Junmin died, it was delayed, and this time Hu Lizhen mentioned it again, and Hou Ye's interest was raised again.

"I've heard of this person, and he's been stealing a lot of limelight lately. ”

"Yes, to be honest, this person does have a few hits, ordinary people can't deal with him, and only a big man like Hou Ye can take him away. Hu Lizhen also recognized Liu Chen's ability, otherwise he would not have formed an alliance with Liu Chen when he turned against Yu Junmin.

"Is it so powerful?" Hou Ye took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes gently, as if he was meditating on something.

Hu Lizhen didn't dare to disturb Hou Ye, just waited quietly, he knew that Hou Ye was already seriously considering this matter, and the purpose of his coming had been achieved, so he must not be in a hurry.

He was cautious, careful, but he never noticed the eyes on the top of his head, maybe this was his fate.
