Gu Baomin's father's house, in the living room.

Gu Baomin sat on the sofa, and just after hanging up the phone to ask Lin Baotang to arrange for Gu Changlan to go abroad, his brother immediately walked to the living room and looked at the closed door: "Third child, what time is it, why hasn't Changlan arrived yet?"

"Ah, Changlan's friend just called me and said that he had acute appendicitis and was in the hospital. Gu Baomin casually perfunctory.

"Isn't it serious, let's go take a look?" Gu Changlan's uncle asked with concern when he heard this.

"It's okay, boy, you can still hold on to this little injury, let's go, let's go into the house and celebrate Dad's birthday!" Gu Baomin's voice fell, beckoning his eldest brother to walk towards the restaurant.

......

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, for a whole afternoon, Gu Baomin finally didn't see Gu Changlan's figure, and it wasn't until more than four o'clock in the afternoon that Xue Ning's phone call came back.

"Ning Ning, have you found that rabbit cub?" After the phone was connected, Gu Baomin asked bluntly.

"Uncle Gu, in this afternoon, I have made all the phone calls I can, but no one in our circle has ever seen Changlan, and I can't contact him. ”

"No one saw him?" Gu Baomin frowned when he heard this.

"That's right, I've already made all the calls that should be made, but none of these people in our circle have ever seen Changlan!" Xue Ning replied decisively.

"Okay, I know, Ning Ning, although you just said that no one has seen Changlan yet, you still have to help me continue to look for him, once you see him, please ask him to call me back immediately!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Gu, I know!"

"Duh... Toot ......"

Gu Baomin had just hung up Xue Ning's phone here, and Lin Baotang's number called Gu Baomin's mobile phone again.

"Hey, Lao Lin?" Gu Baomin took a sip of water from his cup and asked.

"Brother Gu, you asked me to arrange the school for Changlan, I have already done it, it is a university in a small country over there, and it is quite famous in China, and I also asked, as Changlan, you can enroll as a sponsored student, but the tuition fee may be higher!"

"Let's put it away in advance at the school. After listening to Lin Baotang's words, Gu Baomin looked helpless: "Lao Lin, I remember if you have a friend who is a manager in a mobile company?"

"Yes, there is such a person. Lin Baotang didn't know why Gu Baomin had spent so far on the topic, but he still responded truthfully: "This person is my high school classmate, and the relationship between the two of us is average, but the relationship between me and her daughter-in-law is quite wowable, and his daughter-in-law's position is higher than him, and she belongs to the executive level!"

"In this way, you can find a way to contact your classmate or his wife, and ask him to help me check Changlan's phone number, and it is best to get the location information!"

"What's the matter, Changlan is gone again?" Lin Baotang asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Well, this B cub is getting more and more presumptuous now, and he usually doesn't do anything outside without doing his job, but today is his grandfather's birthday, and he dares not to be there, he really has no education at all. Gu Baomin lit a cigarette, and there was a hint of resentment between his eyebrows.

"Okay, don't be angry, it's normal for children to be playful!" Lin Baotang didn't feel surprised after listening to Gu Baomin's words, or rather, in Gu Changlan, a playboy, no matter what happened, they were already able to do everything without being surprised and accustomed to it.

"Forget it, don't mention him, when I think of this deflated calf, I get angry and have a stomachache!" Gu Baomin heard Lin Baotang's reassurance, and tried to adjust his mood: "You first find a way to find him for me, and then hurry up and send this cub to me abroad, I can't see it!"

"Hehe, it's okay!" Lin Baotang responded with a smile, and then changed his words: "By the way, Brother Gu, you went to talk about contracting the sea area yesterday, did you get a result?"

"I guess there's some result. Gu Baomin nodded: "Su Laosi agreed to subcontract the sea area to us, but the asking price is a bit high, but depending on the meaning of his words, this matter should be able to continue to be discussed!"

"How much does he want?"

"Twenty-five million!"

"Tsk!" Lin Baotang listened to Gu Baomin's words, and sighed slightly: "The asking price is a bit ruthless, and the sea in his hand is worth one thousand and five at most!"

"I have already made an appointment with Su Mao, and after the fifteenth day of the first month, the two sides will meet again, if the price can be pressed to two thousand, I will admit it! I will meet Su Laosi on the sixteenth day of the first month, you prepare the funds in advance, if the matter is negotiated, let's sign the contract as soon as possible!" Gu Baomin paused: "Now that Yue Ziwen has begun to make preparations, since we want to take action, we have to be simpler." ”

"Okay, I understand!" Lin Baotang responded.

"Find news of this bunny cub and call me back!"

"Good!"

......

When Lin Baotang looked for his classmate who worked in a mobile company to find out the news of Gu Changlan, Yang Dong and others also gathered in a cheap restaurant at about seven o'clock in the evening.

In the restaurant, after Yang Dong waited for the wine and food to be served, he took the lead in pouring a glass of liquor: "Uncle You, in the past half a year, you have contributed a lot to the company, and I will respect you for the first glass of wine today!"

"Yes, in the past half a year, the reason why the company has been able to run so smoothly is because of Uncle You's great contributions, let's have a drink with Uncle You together!" Lin Tianchi listened to Yang Dong's words, and also beckoned others to pick up their wine glasses.

"Don't, it stands to reason that you are the boss, this first glass of wine, I should respect you!" You Chuhai saw everyone's actions of serving glasses, his old face turned red, and he felt a little restrained.

"Uncle You, on this occasion today, there is no distinction between employees and bosses, only elders and juniors, I will do it first as respect!" Yang Dong's voice fell, he tilted his neck, and drank the wine in the cup directly.

"Okay, you give me face, then I have to carry it around, don't worry, after I go to sea the day after tomorrow, what I did before will be done in the future, I will definitely work hard to do a good job!" You Chuhai listened to Yang Dong's response, and responded with a ruddy face.

"Uncle You, although our table of wine today is to celebrate the New Year, I still have to talk to you about a few digressions. Yang Dong smiled slightly and looked directly at You Chuhai: "From the seventh day of the first month, we people can't accompany you to the sea, so the crew has to trouble you to go out to recruit!"

"You're not on the boat?" After listening to Yang Dong's words, You Chuhai felt a little surprised: "Didn't we say before, you have to work until the fishing moratorium on May Day this year, and wait until September to recruit people?"

"Uncle You, in the past few days, the company has encountered some difficulties and needs manpower to deal with them, so I'm afraid we won't be able to spare the energy to take care of the fishing boats. Yang Dong didn't hide what happened from You Chuhai, and then continued to speak: "Also, the people you hired this time, I can't sign a long-term contract with them, I can only settle the salary according to the short-term recruitment, of course, the salary is a little higher, I can accept it!"

"Xiaodong, in fact, the crew job is basically a long-term contract, because only by signing this kind of contract, their life can be guaranteed, and they are willing to work hard, if you want to sign a short-term crew, it is not easy to recruit people, and the cost is also high!" You Chuhai explained seriously.

"Uncle You, the cost is higher, I admit it, listen to me in this matter, just recruit a short-term one!"

"Okay, since your boss has spoken, then I'll just do it!" You Chuhai saw that Yang Dong said it to death, and he didn't continue to talk more.

"Come on, have a drink. Yang Dong saw You going to sea and nodded in agreement, and raised his glass again, the reason why he asked You to go to sea to recruit short-term crew members was because he already knew in his heart what he would face when Gu Changlan's matter was fermented, so in the face of the revenge that was about to be smashed on his body, Yang Dong was ready to fight against the water, and even be swept out of the fishing industry.

......

Just when Yang Dong and the others were discussing the matter of going to sea with You Chuhai, Lin Baotang also rushed to the mobile company in the night, and after going upstairs, he walked straight to the office of a senior executive who was still lit, and walked in directly with the door and walked in, looking at a young woman in her forties, but with good maintenance, when Lin Baotang talked to Gu Baomin before, he didn't brag, the young woman in the house was indeed the wife of his high school classmate, and between the two people, there was indeed a small spark of love.

"Hehe, I haven't gotten off work yet. After Lin Baotang saw the young woman in the house, he said hello with a smile.

"Phew!" When the glamorous young woman heard this, she immediately snorted coquettishly, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Isn't it all because of your!"

"Actually, I'm asking you to do something fake, I want to come over and see if you're real. Lin Baotang walked behind the young woman slowly, put his hand on her shoulder gently, and helped her massage: "I asked you to check the number for me, did you find it?"

"It's all here!" The young woman picked up a call sheet on the table and handed it to Lin Baotang: "This number has been turned off for almost sixty hours, and it has never been turned on, and the last number was dialed at about two o'clock in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it was dialed to a person named Chen Zhibang on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the call lasted thirteen minutes, and this Chen Zhibang's number has now been turned off." ”

"Chen Zhibang?" Lin Baotang frowned unconsciously after listening to the young woman's words: "Why is Lan Lan still involved with him?"

After Lin Baotang muttered to himself, he directly took out his mobile phone and dialed Hao Mazi's number.

"Hey, Mr. Lin?" Hao Mazi quickly answered the phone.

"Let me ask you, in the past few days, has Gu Changlan asked you to do anything?"

"No, he is the eldest young master of the People's Fisheries Association, and he can't ask me for help. Hao Mazi was asked by Lin Baotang a little inexplicably: "Mr. Lin, what's wrong?"

"Let me ask you, where is Chen Zhibang?" Lin Baotang did not answer Hao Mazi's words, and asked again.

"I really don't know about this, because the company has a holiday at the end of the month, and the two of us only made a New Year's call on the first day of the new year, if you have something to do with him, I will contact him immediately!"

"No, you're busy. ”

"Hey!"

"Duh... Toot ......"

After Lin Baotang hung up Hao Mazi's phone, the more he pondered about it, the more strange he felt, after all, Gu Changlan and Chen Zhibang belonged to two completely different classes, and at this moment, these two people not only got together, but also disappeared at the same time, this kind of thing is too interesting, Lin Baotang thought about it for a long time, and dialed a number again: "Hey, Director Zhou, Happy New Year...... Well, I'm pretty good too...... I'm looking for you today, and there's really something going on...... I'm not kidding, I want to report it...... Well, the son of the CEO of our company has disappeared, and he has not been seen for three days...... Well, his name is Gu Changlan...... Hey, that's bothering you, Zhou Ju!"

......

Half an hour later, after Gu Baomin attended his father's birthday dinner, because he didn't drink less, he asked the driver to drive him to a bathing center, intending to do a massage to relieve his fatigue, but before he could get out of the car, Lin Baotang's phone called.

"Lao Lin, have you found that little cub?" Gu Baomin answered the phone and asked with a mouthful of wine.

"Big brother, I've already inquired about it, Changlan was arrested by the forbidden D detachment because he was suspected of selling D, and he has signed a criminal detention!"

"Buzz!"

When Gu Baomin heard this, there was a boom in his mind, and he was instinctively sluggish.

In the Land Rover outside the door of the bathing center, Gu Baomin listened to Lin Baotang's words, and his mind was blank for about four or five seconds, before he remembered and continued to ask: "Lao Lin, is your news accurate, could it be a mistake?"

"Brother Gu, you should know that if this kind of thing is hearsay, then it is impossible for me to report it to you!" Lin Baotang sighed over there: "I checked Changlan's phone at the mobile company before, and found that after his phone was turned off, I called the deputy director of the sub-bureau Zhou again, and he told me the news personally! ”

"Selling D, how can Gu Changlan sell D?!" After listening to Lin Baotang's words, Gu Baomin felt extremely confused in his mind: "Lao Lin, you also know the family conditions of my family, especially after Gu Changlan became an adult, material life has never been lacking, I give him a pocket money, it is much higher than the profit of selling D, if you say that Gu Changlan sucks D, then I may believe it, but do you feel that with the conditions of our family, it is necessary for him to sell D?"

"Yes, before I called you, I also felt that this matter was not quite right, but you also know that people at the official level have always been secretive about the vicious crime of D products, lest this kind of thing stick to themselves, if Changlan was arrested for smoking D, then with our relationship, maybe he can still move a little, but now he is suspected of selling D, this matter is difficult to deal with, because it is enough to interfere in this kind of case, and those who really have a good relationship with us will not be able to contact the relationship on the side of the forbidden D. Lin Baotang sighed: "Even the Zhou Bureau I called before only told me the news that Changlan was detained by the banned D detachment because of the situation, and as for the deeper case, he didn't talk to me at all, found an excuse, and hung up the phone directly." ”
