Chapter 49 Asking for Interest
Xiao Tengfei was accompanied by Sun Zhenbang and left in the car first. Xiao Rubing continued to stay in the hotel and talked to Su Qing for a while, and when she learned that Su Qing and Xiao Yu would go to Ao Island to play for two days, she couldn't help but tell Su Qing: "As the saying goes, a small gamble is pleasant, but a big gamble hurts the body." In that place on the island, there are people who lose their families every day. You can have fun, but don't get caught up in it. β
Su Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry, we're just going to travel, and we don't have much money on us, so we won't have too much fun." β
"Well, that's good. Xiao Rubing glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Men are gamblers by nature, many men will unconsciously indulge in gambling as soon as they get involved in gambling, you have to watch him closely." β
Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, Xiao Yu's self-control is much better than mine." β
Xiao Yu heard the conversation between the two on the side, and said with a smile: "We only stayed on Ao Island for two days to see the casino over there. β
Xiao Rubing snorted and said, "I'm not going, I've been on vacation for more than half a month, and there are already a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the company, and I don't have so much time to play around." After sitting for a while, Xiao Rubing said goodbye to the two and left.
In the evening, Xiao Yu received a text message from Sun Zhenbang. He asked Su Qing to rest in the hotel first, but he found an excuse to sneak out and sneak into the thick night.
β¦β¦
Xiao Zhanbo has been watching the drama coldly in the past few days, and he is very unpleasant to watch.
The eldest son of the long house, who had been missing for twenty years, suddenly returned and started a battle with the heir of the family, stirring up a pool of stagnant water for the wealthy nobles. As the struggle intensified and escalated, the shady methods of the supposed heir surfaced and caused an uproar. In the end, both sides of the struggle were defeated, and the ownership of the family's inheritance was once again in doubt......
This is the script that Xiao Zhanbo wants to see, but he didn't expect that when he moved the stool, cut the watermelon, and was ready to watch a big show...... Suddenly I found that the big drama has become short news, and it seems that it is about to end just now!
As for the cruise ship incident in Victoria Harbour, Xiao Zhanbo is 80% sure that it was the conspiracy of his eldest brother. After all, Xiao Yu was on that cruise ship at the time, and he disappeared for a long time inexplicably afterwards, so it doesn't look like a coincidence. The reason why he is still 20% uncertain is because the eldest brother he knows, although the city government is extremely deep and his personality is a little ruthless, but it seems a little impossible to plan such an earth-shattering accident and pull more than a dozen lives, just to get rid of a potential threat.
But in any case, the accident happened. And after learning that Xiao Yu was unharmed in the end, Xiao Zhanbo secretly gloated for a while, hoping to see Xiao Yu's counterattack against Xiao Zhanwei. However, a few days passed, and nothing happened. On the contrary, the rumors that caused a stir at the beginning slowly subsided under the suppression of someone intentionally or unintentionally. Although Xiao Tengfei has not personally clarified this rumor, few people in the company have taken the initiative to discuss this matter now. And Xiao Yu, the rumored number one protagonist, is said to have ended his vacation and returned to the mainland.
Is it really just a false news that has come out of nowhere? Xiao Zhanbo was puzzled. If this is the case, then his eldest brother's status will not be affected in the slightest, and he may not have any more opportunities. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhanbo was a little depressed, and he spent the past two days soaking with a few fox friends and dogs, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.
Tonight, it was his good friend Hu Jiayu, who is also a gentleman on Hong Kong Island, who invited him to a high-end club he recently opened. It is said that Hu Jiayu knew that Xiao Zhanbo was in a bad mood, so he specially prepared a few bottles of limited edition foreign wine, and also found several third- and fourth-tier stars to come to help the fun, one of which Xiao Zhanbo has coveted for a long time. Xiao Zhanbo naturally would not refuse the kindness of his friend, so he agreed to the invitation without thinking about it.
A quiet garden in the middle of downtown Hong Kong Island was bought at a high price a few months ago, and it was renovated and renovated into an inconspicuous high-end clubhouse. The faΓ§ade of this clubhouse is so small that it is difficult for outsiders to notice the inside even if they walk by the door. Because this club is not open to the public, but adopts a membership system, all customers are limited to certain circles.
At this moment, the silence of the night was broken by the roar of a sports car, and a flamboyant white Ferrari stopped in front of the gate. Xiao Zhanbo, who was sitting in the car, took out a membership card and threw it to the security guard at the door, the security guard checked the membership card, immediately opened the iron door, and respectfully returned the membership card with both hands: "Welcome to Xiao Gongzi." β
Xiao Zhanbo didn't say a word, stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car let out a piercing roar again and drove directly into the gate. As soon as he stopped in front of a building, a waiter in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward, helped pull the car door and said, "Xiao Gongzi is here? Hu Shao has prepared a private room, please come with me." β
Xiao Zhanbo followed the waiter into the small building, through a Chinese-style garden, and came to a private room with elegant decoration and good privacy.
"Hasn't Hu Shao come yet?" Xiao Zhanbo asked, glancing at the empty private room.
"Oh, Hu Shao, he's going to pick up a few friends first, and he'll be over soon. The waiter hurriedly said, "He has instructed, if Xiao Gongzi comes early, you can rest here for a while, and the drinks on the table are free for Gongzi to enjoy." β
"Got it, you go down first. Xiao Zhanbo didn't care, waved his hand to let the waiter step back, found a sofa to sit down very casually, and picked up a bottle of wine on the table.
"Louis XIII, not bad......" Xiao Zhanbo nodded, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, poured a small glass, added a few ice cubes, and drank it alone.
Before you know it, most of the bottle of foreign wine has been drunk. Xiao Zhanbo was already a little drunk at this time, and kept looking at the door of the private room with a pair of drunken eyes, thinking to himself what the situation was with that Hu Jiayu, why hadn't he come over yet.
Just as he was about to call the waiter outside to ask about the situation, he suddenly felt that a figure seemed to appear at the door. Xiao Zhanbo rubbed his eyes, looked closely, the door was closed well, where did the figure come from?
"Could it be that I was drunk and hallucinated?" Xiao Zhanbo thought to himself. But in the next moment, he knew that the figure he had just seen was not an illusion.
A hand patted his shoulder, Xiao Zhanbo turned his head and saw a young man's face, looking at him with a smile.
"Hey, who are you? Are you also a friend called by Hu Shao?" Xiao Zhanbo asked drunkenly. Every time they get together, they often bring some friends with fresh faces to get to know each other, including new elites in shopping malls and officialdom, and other young people who want to cling to wealthy families, so Xiao Zhanbo didn't feel strange at all.
"Hu Shao, I don't know him. Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I'm here to find you, Second Young Master of the Xiao Family." β
"Looking for me, how do you know I'm here?" As soon as Xiao Zhanbo spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. If this person didn't know Hu Shao, then how did he enter this club? Also, he didn't know the person in front of him.
Xiao Zhanbo suddenly thought of the figure he had just seen, and his mind suddenly cleared up. Just as he was about to call the security guard loudly, one of Xiao Yu's hands had already pressed lightly somewhere on his shoulder. Xiao Zhanbo only felt that a strong force was pressed down from top to bottom, and his body could no longer bear it, so he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"If you want to die, you might as well try to shout at the security guards outside to see if your mouth is fast or my hand is fast. Xiao Yu whispered in Xiao Zhanbo's ear.
Xiao Zhanbo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, his whole body was in a cold sweat, and the little bit of alcohol just now had already dissipated without a trace.
"This big brother, I don't know what you are looking for me, if you have anything to say, if you want money, you can report the number, and I will definitely find a way to meet your requirements." Xiao Zhanbo said in a trembling voice, and at the same time, he also dispelled the idea of asking for help.
He was completely awake at this time, knowing that since the other party was able to avoid so many security guards and waiters all the way from the gate to here, he entered this private room unconsciously, indicating that the other party's skills must be extraordinary. If you are a little careless and anger the other party, the consequences will be unimaginable. Xiao Zhanbo only thought that the other party was here for money, so he made up his mind in his heart, no matter how much the other party asked, he agreed first, after all, their Xiao family had money.
"I don't need money. Xiao Yu said, "I just want to ask you one word, and then ask for a little interest." β
"Hmm, what do you want to ask me?" Xiao Zhanbo couldn't help but wonder.
Xiao Yu whispered in Xiao Zhanbo's ear: "What I want to ask you is, with more than a dozen lives on the cruise ship, why are you still in the mood to drink here?"
"What?!" Xiao Zhanbo shuddered and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" Xiao Yu sneered, "You went to great lengths to find someone to plan such a big accident, don't you just want me to die?
"Could it be that you are Xiao Yu?" Xiao Zhanbo suddenly reacted, could it be that Xiao Yu found something from the cruise ship accident and came to find someone to take revenge? But this matter has nothing to do with him, even if he wants revenge, he shouldn't look for me!
"Looks like you're not too stupid. Since you made such a stupid decision in the first place, you should think about the consequences today. Xiao Yu said coldly.
"Does he think that I am the mastermind behind the cruise incident?" Xiao Zhanbo's mind at this time flashed with thousands of thoughts, and the instinct to survive stimulated the huge potential of his body, making him think about many things in an instant, and couldn't help but shout: "It's not me! The mastermind behind that accident is not me! It must be Xiao Zhanwei, yes, it's him! It must be that he deliberately left some clues, so that you can find out to my head, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
