When night falls, the lights come on, and Lao Huang Restaurant once again ushers in the busiest time of the day, whether it is the car parking lot or the bicycle parking lot next to the restaurant, it is almost full of places, making it difficult for latecomers to find a parking location.

A Mercedes-Benz slowly drove to the parking lot of the old yellow restaurant, whether it was the Mercedes-Benz itself or the arrogant and domineering license plate number of the vehicle, it was enough to arouse the attention of the security guards who were responsible for guiding the vehicles outside the parking lot, because they knew that this car was the car of Hou Wucheng, the president of Wucheng Group.

Hou Wucheng parked the car for a long time under the guidance of the security guard, got out of the car, looked up at the colorful neon lights outside the big "door" of the old yellow restaurant, and couldn't help but sigh softly, most of the people who came to eat here only knew that the owner of this restaurant was the big fat Huang Xia who smiled all day long like Maitreya Buddha, but Hou Wucheng knew that the real owner of this restaurant was the big boy who was two years younger than his son Hou Jun although he tried his best to avoid it, but finally stood on the opposite side of him.

Thinking of the few "exchanges" he and Li Yan had fought in the open, it seemed that he had never won, and every time he suffered heavy losses, the earliest time should be a year when he saw the huge interests of the "non-colored" metal smelting industry, and wanted to invest in building a "non-colored" metal smelting industry in Shangyang Metal smelter, that time he can be described as ambitious, Top Gun, but the loss is also inexplicable, just because Li Yan's speech on environmental protection was cut down, so far I think about it as if it was a joke, at that time Li Yan was still a newborn, and his own project is a large project with a total amount of nearly 100 million yuan, if it weren't for the comment in the newspaper at the time, he couldn't figure out the real reason why his project was cut down.

It was at that time that the name Li Yan first entered his sight, Hou Wucheng remembered that there was no Taiji software at that time, and there was no Taiji Asset Management Company, Li Yan was still very weak at that time, but less than three years have passed, and the little boy who could be pinched to death by himself has grown to a height that is enough to look down on him, which reminds him of a saying: Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the impermanence of the world is nothing more than that.

"President Hou, what are you thinking, so distracted?" Just when Hou Wucheng was standing outside the old yellow restaurant and thinking about his thoughts, a gentle voice pulled his thoughts back to reality, he turned his head to look at the owner of the gentle voice, and said with a reluctant smile on his face: "Li Yan, you are here." ”

"I'm sorry I'm late and I've kept you waiting. Li Yan said with a smile, and after speaking, he made a gesture of invitation and said, "President Hou, please." ”

"Don't call me president, I'm a few years older than you, just call me brother." Hou Wucheng said with a smile as he followed Li Yan to the old yellow restaurant.

"Alright then, I'd better be respectful. Li Yan nodded and said, as the two walked into the Lao Huang Restaurant, the waiter standing at the "door" of the restaurant saw his boss walking in, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "Boss, do you still go to the original private room?"

"No, that private room is too big, just the two of us, let's change to a small private room." Li Yan instructed the waiter, then turned to Hou Wucheng and smiled and said, "Brother, you won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?"

"It's okay, I'm not particular. Hou Wucheng waved his hand and said, if the employees of Wucheng Group who are familiar with Hou Wucheng's habits hear their boss speak so well, they will probably be shocked and their jaws fall to the ground, because they all know that their boss is the most pompous person, no matter where he goes, he must make the best car, and he generally has to enjoy the best hospitality when he goes to the hotel.

Li Yan nodded to Hou Wucheng, and then the two followed the waiter to a small private room, although this private room is small, but the facilities inside are not simple at all, in fact, in addition to the general private room, Lao Huang Restaurant also reserved some luxurious small private rooms for entertaining distinguished guests, and the waiter brought them to such a small private room.

After ordering, the waiter went out, leaving Li Yan and Hou Wucheng in the private room. (Free download of the full-character e-book)

"Brother, you have a lot of opportunities today, how can you have time to invite me to a 'hairy' head for dinner. Li Yan asked, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"Knowingly ask!" Hou Wucheng secretly slandered himself, from the moment he saw Li Yan, Li Yan's smiling appearance made Hou Wucheng hate the root of his teeth, but when he thought that his third brother and little sister were still in the hands of others, he felt that some heroes were short of breath and couldn't give birth.

"Haha, my brother and I have been friends for a long time, although we have met twice before, but I haven't had any chance to talk deeply, today is just taking advantage of this opportunity, let's have two drinks together, climb the 'friendship', and talk about it later. Hou Wucheng laughed twice, knowing that this was not a good time to talk about important things, so he didn't mention the purpose of him looking for Li Yan to have dinner together.

Since Hou Wucheng didn't say it, Li Yan, who knew very well what Hou Wucheng was looking for him, was not in a hurry, the initiative was in his hands, as long as Hou Wucheng could calm down, anyway, it was still far from dawn the next day, as for the matter of going to his house with his uncle, he had already called and pushed it away, so he had time to spend with Hou Wucheng.

The two chatted together for a while, the waiter sent two bottles of Wuliangye, and the dish was sent up by 6 continues, so the two began to eat while pushing the cup to change the lamp, because they didn't talk about business, so the two of them chatted very speculatively, if you let people who don't know the truth see, it is easy to think that the two are talking about the New Year's "handover", but they can't think of the real relationship between the two anyway.

A bottle of wine was quickly drunk by the two, Hou Wucheng also felt a little dizzy, watching Li Yan drunk and constantly persuading him to drink, he was a little secretly anxious, at first he didn't talk about business, but it didn't mean that he didn't talk about business, after three rounds of drinking, when he wanted to talk about Hou San'er and Hou Xiaomiao with Li Yan, but he was helpless every time he wanted to talk about Hou San'er and Hou Xiaomiao, he was interrupted by Li Yanyan.

If it weren't for his own request, Hou Wucheng would probably have taken the case a long time ago, but the young man in front of him was pinching the "sex" of his third brother and younger sister in his hands, and he had to suppress his anger again and again, and accompany Li Yan to drink glass after glass and chat about some boring topics that he was not interested in at all.

The two bottles of wine were down, and the third bottle of wine had already been drunk for a little while, Hou Wucheng drank too much, and what was even worse was that he forgot what he was looking for Li Yan for, obviously feeling that he seemed to have something very important, but he just couldn't remember it, and Li Yan, who had already sat next to him, was raising his glass to himself cup after cup, as if they were not drinking wine, but water.

Hou Wucheng gradually had a feeling that today's wine was very delicious, and he knew that he couldn't drink much anymore, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him, drink another glass, drink another glass......

"Brother, in fact, the younger brother admires you very much, if you want to talk about black and white in Shangyang, you are the first one, I heard that you have a very good set of officials and masters who deal with politics, can you teach the younger brother some experience?"

"Brother, little brother, I really want to learn from you, let's have another drink. Li Yan's voice as if he had magic power poured into Hou Wucheng's ears again, and he subconsciously raised the wine glass that Li Yan had poured for him again, and drank it all, and the only trace of reason left in his heart was instantly overwhelmed by the wine essence......

…………

Li Yan pushed open the "door" of the private room and walked out, if it weren't for the strong smell of wine permeating his body, only from his blazing eyes and steady steps, he couldn't tell that he had drunk wine at all.

"Come here. Li Yan waved his hand to the waiter who was sitting not far from the private room, and shouted as he had just beaten out.

"Boss. The pretty waiter hurriedly came to Li Yan's side, looking at Li Yan's eyes with a hint of surprise and incredulity, Li Yan and Hou Wucheng drank one glass after another, she saw clearly when she was not kicked out of the private room by Li Yan, obviously he looked drunk just now, but now where is there still a little drunk, then she realized that her boss was clearly pretending to be drunk.

"My friend has drunk too much, you find two more people to arrange a rest room for him, let him rest, I'll go out and come back in a while. Li Yan instructed the waiter.

"Okay. The waiter answered, turned around to find someone, Li Yan turned his head to look at Hou Wucheng who was sleeping on the table in the room, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned around and left quickly.

…………

The time was more than ten o'clock in the evening, there was no moon in the sky, and the stars blinked to the sky like one eye at a time, quietly observing Shangyang, a small northern city, and also observing Li Yan, who was driving towards the headquarters of Wucheng Group with a certain purpose.

More than 200 meters away from the headquarters of Wucheng Group, Li Yan parked the car, locked the "door" of the car, and walked towards the small "flower" garden in the style of the Jiangnan garden.

As if in a no-man's land, Li Yan easily came to the "door" of Hou Wucheng's office at the headquarters, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and "inserted" a key into the keyhole on the "door" to open the "door".

Entering the room, Li Yan came to the big bookshelf behind Hou Wucheng's desk, and after removing a copy of "Capital" placed there on the third floor, he reached out to "grope" for a moment, found a subtle protrusion and pressed it.

After a slight sound, Li Yan opened the cabinet "door" under the bookshelf, and a secret compartment was "exposed" inside, and there was a small code-type safe in the dark compartment.

Li Yan gently rotated the knob on the safe, and easily opened the safe, which contained only two things, a thick blue ledger and a badly worn Type 4 pistol.

Li Yan didn't move the pistol, but took out the account book, made it on the boss's chair behind Hou Wucheng's desk, and turned it carefully page by page, although the room was pitch black, but Li Yan used his innate qi behind his eyebrows, and the darkness would only "cloud" his actions with a layer of protective "color", but it would not cause him any trouble.

Li Yan read it quickly, and after ten minutes, he had turned over the account book twice, and after making sure that he had completely written down the contents of the account book, he put the account book back into the safe as it was, and after locking the safe, the "door" of the secret grid was also closed by him. There was a slight click, and the dark grid locked.

Li Yan stood up, put the book of Capital back in the distance, put the boss's chair in its original position, turned around and walked out of the office, and walked away.

…………

Hou Wucheng didn't wake up until the next morning, and the first thing he saw after waking up was his wife's concerned gaze, his wife was five years younger than him, and he had been following him without regrets when he was in the most difficult time, so he loved his wife very much, and did not dislike her because of his later arrival and wife's old Zhuhuang.

"Old Hou, you finally woke up, what happened yesterday, with so much wine!" the wife asked in a slightly reproachful tone, while handing Hou Wucheng a "hair" towel soaked in warm water.

Hou Wucheng didn't answer, took the "hair" towel from his wife's hand and wiped his face vigorously, feeling that his "spirit" was invigorated.

"Who sent me back yesterday?" asked Hou Wucheng, his voice was slightly hoarse, and a smell of wine gushed out of his throat and eyes, making him feel his stomach churning and uncomfortable.

"It's the two guys from Lao Huang Restaurant, they said that their boss also drank too much, and he couldn't come to see you off in person, and said a lot of kind words, and then left. The wife said, and then asked suspiciously: "Lao Hou, isn't the owner of the old yellow restaurant the Huang Xia in our township, when did you become good friends with him, and you still drink like that together?"

"It's not Huang Xia, it's the little boss of the old Huang restaurant, Li Yan, yesterday the third child and Xiao Miao were killed by Li Yan's design, I had no choice but to look for him, I didn't expect it to be done, and I was drunk by him. Hou Wucheng waved his hand and said with a wry smile, he thinks about it now, and feels that yesterday's events are strange, but he can't figure out what is wrong, but the matter has not been done, so he has to go to Li Yan today.

So he stood up, came to the phone in the bedroom, picked it up and dialed Li Yan's phone again: "Brother, it's me, Hou Wucheng." ”

"Oh, it's my brother, is there anything important about you calling so early?" Li Yan's voice came.

"That's right, if you're free this morning, I'd like to talk to you about something. Hou Wucheng tried his best to keep his tone calm and said, but he didn't dare to mention the matter of drinking and eating anymore, he was worried that he would be drunk by Li Yan again.

"What's the matter, let's talk on the phone, I'm going to school in the morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to find time. Li Yan's voice came again, and there was a little "girl" child who was vaguely shouting words like hugging the big brother, and there was a gentle and nice "woman" voice persuading the little "girl" child, listening to the tone like the mother of the little "girl" child.

"It's inconvenient on the phone, or else, I'll look for you after school in the afternoon, and I'll talk about it then." Hou Wucheng said.

"Noon?" Li Yan's voice was a little hesitant, "Okay, for my brother's sake, let's see you at the Lao Huang Restaurant at noon, let's have a drink." ”

The corners of Hou Wucheng's mouth twitched, and his stomach churned involuntarily again, and he still drank in his heart, and if he drank again, his brothers and sisters would really not be able to save him.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you, if you can't do it, you can only wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow......" Li Yan said.

"Okay, just the old yellow restaurant, we'll see you at noon. Hou Wucheng hurriedly said.

"Well, see you soon. Li Yan said, and hung up the phone after speaking.

…………

At noon, Hou Wucheng came to his office, and not long after he sat down, his secretary walked in with a large envelope.

"Mr. Hou, someone sent this envelope this morning, saying that there are important things in it for you to see in person. The secretary said to Hou Wucheng.

"Who sent it?" asked Hou Wucheng with a frown, he noticed that there was no such thing as a stamp or anything like a postage stamp on the envelope in the secretary's hand, and it was obvious that this envelope was not sent through the post office.

"A man, I asked, and he said you will know after reading the letter. The secretary said.

"Put it on the table. Hou Wucheng shifted his gaze from the envelope to the secretary's slightly powdered face, and said with squinted eyes.

The secretary's face turned pink after being stared at by Hou Wucheng, and after lowering his head and putting the envelope on the table, he stood at Hou Wucheng's desk and waited for him to give orders.

"You go out first. Hou Wucheng waved his hand and said.

The secretary bit his lip, glanced at Hou Wucheng charmingly, and then twisted his waist and swung his "hips" and walked out of the "door".

"This little hoof is getting more and more seductive. Hou Wucheng looked at the back of the secretary twisting his waist and swinging his "hips", secretly swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and it was not until the secretary closed the "door" that he turned his eyes to the big envelope on the table.

A white note was affixed to the envelope, and the handwriting on it was not handwritten, but a print that is rarely seen now: Hou Wucheng, president of Wucheng Group.

Hou Wucheng took the envelope, and when he tore open the envelope, there was still some "tide" in the seal, which indicated that the envelope should have just been sealed.

After tearing open the envelope, Hou Wucheng took out a dozen A4 printer paper bound together, and the first page was a cover with the word bill written on it.

Hou Wucheng's heart jumped, he hurriedly turned the first page, glanced at the content of the second page, and suddenly felt as if a burst of cold water was pouring down his head and face, and his whole body was cold from the inside out!
