Chapter 678: Fenghua Du Racecourse
Liu Chen had already seen through Xu Zhangtai's intention to arrange this time: "I know that he let an imposter come in order to delay time and make himself more prepared." ”
"What preparation?"
"Of course, it was a preparation for us, so we went to the racecourse to meet him, which was the situation he was most happy to see, and our adventure might be able to find out his hole cards. ”
Wu Sheng waited at the red light intersection with a foot on the brake, turned his head and said: "Thinking about it like this, it all makes sense, it seems that this Xu Zhangtai is not an ordinary person, and his mind is delicate enough." ”
"This kind of talent is the most terrifying, the city is deep, there is a background, and he can use his brains, he is thoughtful, and his style is cautious, and he looks like an old fox. Liu Chen seems to see the combination of the old man and Guo Taipei from this Xu Zhang** arrangement, both Guo Taipei's city government and the cunning of the old man.
A gloomy worry rose on Wu Sheng's face: "In this way, I believe even more that this is a Hongmen banquet, Brother Liu, do we really want to take this risk? We don't know much about that Xu Zhangtai." ”
Liu Chen said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I have already left a way back, in case it is really a Hongmen banquet, I am not Liu Bang, and that Xu Zhangtai can't be Xiang Yu, and the ending is destined to be different." ”
With Liu Chen's confident words, Wu Sheng's worries were dispelled, and he continued to follow the car of the group in front of him, and drove towards Fenghuadu Racecourse with peace of mind.
The car drove away from the city and headed for the suburbs, and the two cars always maintained a fixed distance along the way, Liu Chen found that in the car in front of him, the tall and thin man with a beard observed their vehicle through the exterior rearview mirror from time to time, which aroused Liu Chen's vigilance.
Liu Chen observed the buildings and landscapes on both sides of the road, becoming more and more remote, he drew his attention and said to Wu Sheng: "Speed up, parallel to their cars." ”
Wu Sheng kicked the accelerator hard, and the car quickly flew forward, coming to the side of the tall and thin man with a beard, and after driving at a constant speed side by side for a while, Liu Chen stretched out his hand to make a downward posture, and the cab of the vehicle over there immediately pulled down the window.
Liu Chen shouted at them, "Are you sure this is the way to the racecourse?"
The driver glanced at the tall beard in the passenger seat and replied, "Yes, it's a small road, it's closer." ”
Liu Chen stared at them with a fierce look for a while, and then made a move to raise his gun and shoot, which was a very serious warning, once there was fraud on the way, Liu Chen would not let any of them go.
Then Liu Chen pulled up the window, Wu Sheng lightly stepped on the accelerator at the same time to slow down, the car continued to follow them, what to do, they should know themselves, Liu Chen had already given them a warning, I believe that after experiencing the Sunshine Shooting Range, they will all become acquainted, and luck will only bring them disaster.
Sure enough, along the way, their group of people did not play any tricks, refueled once on the way, and then drove for about ten minutes, through a jungle, the front suddenly opened up, "Fenghuadu Racecourse" several lines of calligraphy font depicting golden outlines, it seems particularly imposing and artistic.
The bearded, thin, tall, and tall car stopped at the door, and after getting out of the car, they walked towards Liu Chen's car.
Liu Chen pulled down the window and asked, "This is it?"
"Yes, this is here, this is the back door, the front is more magnificent, this horse farm covers an area of 1,000 acres, it is the largest horse farm in Shuangjiang, and we Xu is always one of the owners of this horse farm. ”
1,000 acres! Liu Chen was also shocked when he heard this number, 1,000 acres of land is equivalent to the size of more than 90 standard football fields, and it is unbelievable that he can occupy such a large land in the provincial capital. As a comparison, the horse farm where Liu Chen and Li Rongfei played together last year, the one where Ji Xiaofeng was also present, covers only one-third of the area here, but it is already the largest horse farm in the river.
As we all know, horseback riding is a relatively luxurious sport, most of the people who come to play are people with status and status, and to open a racecourse is to need a strong network and sufficient financial support, which belongs to the middle and upper class of society, which also involves some underground industrial chains, so there is a particularly important label for opening a racecourse is black and white.
Being able to have a 1,000-acre horse farm, even if it is one of the partners, is enough to reflect the strength of Xu Zhangtai's energy, Liu Chen guessed that this horse farm is likely to have Hu Bingcheng's figure.
Led by a tall, thin bearded man, they came to the entrance. The whole horse farm is very large, belonging to the semi-natural and semi-artificial comprehensive horse farm, which cannot be driven into private cars, and the vehicles coming and going are tour buses, a bit like the kind of golf course carts.
After conducting a security check at the entrance, the tall and skinny man with a beard contacted the staff of the racecourse and immediately called three cars, two of which were occupied by the men in black, one by Liu Chen and Wu Sheng, but when he was about to start, the tall and thin man with a beard suddenly jumped out of his car, came back to Liu Chen's car, and sat next to Liu Chen.
"Two, let me show you the largest horse farm in the province. The tall and skinny man with a beard suggested with a smile.
Liu Chen looked at his dislocated hand and teased: "Mr. Bodyguard is still injured now, so don't bother, go directly to see your boss." ”
"This is the largest horse farm in the province, a semi-natural and semi-artificial comprehensive horse farm, don't you think it's a pity not to visit it?" looked at Liu Chen with a thin beard and a tall expression.
Liu Chen knew that the thin and tall beard just wanted to delay time, and said with a smile: "With such a beautiful scenery, there must be a beautiful woman to accompany you to visit." ”
"Hehe, that's right, we have a lot of beautiful women here, if you want, I can call you a few right now. ”
"No need, go see your boss, it's not too late to visit again after a pleasant chat. ”
"Okay, I'll report to our boss first. Seeing that Liu Chen insisted on seeing the boss first, he had to agree to report the situation to the boss Xu Zhangtai, and after a few words of exchange, he hung up the phone, nodded to Liu Chen, and then said to the driver with a walkie-talkie: "Go to the viewing platform." ”
Then the group drove in unison to the viewing platform, which is a place to watch horses in the racecourse, and Xu Zhangtai is there now.
Came to the bottom of the viewing platform, looked up, the viewing platform is about ten meters high, above is a huge wooden viewing platform, surrounded by railings, it is full of colorful flags, colorful flags keep swinging with the wind, strong and powerful.
Entered the house, took the elevator to the viewing platform, in the elevator, Liu Chen pulled up the tall and thin right hand with a beard, pulled it back and forth vigorously, and instantly took his dislocated arm back to its original position.
The arm was back in place again, and the tall and thin man with his beard seemed to have his arm reinstalled, and the feeling of being lost and regained came spontaneously, and he cast a grateful look at Liu Chen.
The moment the elevator door opened, Liu Chen saw a middle-aged man sitting on the viewing platform who looked very similar to the tall and thin man with a beard beside him.
Xu Zhangtai faced the elevator, and there was a carved red solid wood tea table in front of him, tea was being made on the tea table, and there was a boiling glass kettle on the side. There is a shelf next to the tea table with a variety of fresh fruits.
When Xu Zhangtai saw Liu Chen and them coming, he clapped his hands and opened his hands to welcome: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to my horse farm." ”
"This must be the famous Mr. Xu, who has been admired for a long time. Liu Chen also showed his proper demeanor, although he was very dissatisfied with this Xu Zhangtai in his heart, but he still had to do some superficial work.
Liu Chen sat on the chair opposite him at Xu Zhangtai's suggestion, and the tall and thin man with a beard and several other black-clothed people stood in a row behind Xu Zhangtai.
Xu Zhangtai opened his mouth and asked, "The two of you came all the way, what do you think of my horse farm?"
Liu Chen only commented from an objective point of view: "It's very good, the natural grass, the best horses, plus this beautiful scenery, it's really a good place for leisure and vacation, no wonder Mr. Xu likes to stay here." ”
Xu Zhangtai nodded along with Liu Chen's praise and said: "Yes, the company's affairs are sometimes too busy and annoying, I like to come here to relax, drink tea, look at the scenery, when I am interested, I can also ask a few friends to go down to a horse race, life, I don't need to be confused by work, I can see leisure, and there is no dispute with the world, which is what I yearn for now." ”
Liu Chen saw his duplicity from Xu Zhangtai's eyes, and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that Mr. Xu was in the prime of life, and his career was in full swing, so he had this insight into life, which is rare." ”
Xu Zhangtai deliberately avoided the mocking part of Liu Chen's words, and continued his indisputable disguise, "Hehe, I'm not afraid of the two jokes, I often feel that my state is like entering old age in advance, and my state is almost the same as retirement." ”
"Yes, this is also a happy event, most people have been confused by the world all their lives, and they can't live a wonderful life, those who retreat bravely from the rapids, I will admire their courage, I don't know if Xu is always such a person?" Liu Chen tested Xu Zhangtai's hypocrisy more obviously this time.
Xu Zhangtai scattered a few cigarettes to Liu Chen and Wu Sheng, lowered his head and swiped the mobile phone screen, and said: "I also want to, I sometimes think, looking for someone who can take over my class, and dump all the business affairs to them, and I am here to taste tea, race horses, and there is a fishing ground in the east, and it is also a pleasure to sit and fish." ”
Liu Chen saw that Xu Zhangtai had never mentioned anything about Cao Minghui, nor did he ask about the identity of himself and Wu Sheng, but talked about the life he longed for there, and this meeting was more like a reception than a negotiation.
