Chapter 888: The Mystery of the Slender Spirit (1)
Chapter 888: The Mystery of the Delicate Spirit (1)
When Chen Ming came to Qi Luo's villa, it was already completely dark, Chen Ming chose this time point, naturally he also had his purpose, this point happened to be dinner, Chen Ming came with an empty stomach, the purpose was not only to rub rice, but to take advantage of the opportunity to have a good chat with Qi Luo.
Some studies have pointed out that there is a reason why Chinese people choose to talk about things at dinner, and the atmosphere of the dinner is more suitable for conversation, which greatly increases the probability of success. This is very different from Europeans, who seem to attach great importance to private life, and work is done during working hours.
Qi Luo really warmly entertained Chen Ming with a delicious meal, and made a special trip to order someone to take out a bottle of red wine from the cellar, open it, and drink half a glass with Chen Ming alone.
"Chen Shao, in fact, you don't have to take this matter to heart, our attention now is not on the matter itself, but on the outside, I think the other party dares to do this, it is really a bit bold, after all, this is the capital, many things have to talk about the rules of the game, and he is completely unruly. Qi Luo held the wine glass, gently shook the red liquid inside, and said solemnly.
Of course, Chen Ming also understood what Qi Luo meant, but his focus was different, and what he was concerned about now was what was going on with the Slender Spirit.
Outside the house, it was snowy, Chen Ming and Qi Luo sat by the window, looking at the lonely capital in winter, full of emotions.
After sighing, Chen Ming continued: "I have already sent someone to investigate this matter, but there is still no result, and I even mobilized a few friends from the military region to help, but there has been no response from that side until now." I'm guessing you've already taken action, so that's why I'm here to talk to you, and it's best to be able to act with each other. ”
Qi Luo also nodded, agreeing, "I've already asked people to check, no result, just ......" Saying this, suddenly Qi Luo's face changed, he thought for a while, took out a small piece packed in a plastic bag from his pocket, handed it to Chen Ming, and said: "This is what was pierced in my father's wound at that time, it was a little scary, I heard him say that this is what was left on the weapon of the 'Slender Spirit' at that time." ”
Chen Ming took it, opened the pocket, and took out a very delicate fragment from it, crystal clear, small and devastating, but the edge was unimaginably sharp, Chen Ming accidentally didn't grasp it just now, and the position of his finger had already been cut a small hole, but Chen Ming reacted quickly and took it in time, which made the wound not deepen.
"Be careful, this thing is very sharp, I usually use tweezers to look at it. With that, Qi Luo hurriedly stopped Chen Ming, and then ordered the servant to come over with tweezers.
"No, it's okay, there's no bloodshed. Chen Ming continued to grasp the fragment and look carefully, the opening just now did not hurt the small blood vessels, but only slightly broke the skin.
"Don't you see anything?" asked Zilo with concern.
"It's really the thing that hangs on the front of the whip, and when it is flung hard, these sharpness can cut through a person's muscles. Chen Ming nodded.
"Listening to my dad, it seems that the other party did hurt him with a whip. Zilo nodded.
"That's right. Chen Ming frowned slightly, nodded and said, "The weapon of the delicate spirit is a long whip." ”
"So......" Zilo was stunned for a moment.
"I'm not sure either...... There are many people in this world who can play whips well. Chen Ming shook his head and fell into deep thought. The deep eyes are full of unreadable love.
Silent.
After a long time, Qi Luo suddenly let out an "oh" and hurriedly said, "...... That's right...... One more thing, if you're interested, you might as well come with me tomorrow night. At this time, Qi Luo's eyes moved slightly, he flicked the cup with his index finger, and suddenly laughed.
"Huh?" Chen Ming's eyelids jumped slightly.
"The capital is going to shuffle the big cards, this is a movement, if you are interested, come with me to Central Austria Marco Polo, there ...... Not to mention finding the signs of this 'Delicate Spirit Incident', but I think ...... This time it has to do with it. Zi Luo's eyes were solemn, and there was a hint of whispering, as if he was afraid of being heard.
Of course, this is the mansion of the Qi Luo family, and it is impossible for outsiders to come in and hear it, if there is, then Chen Ming is just an outsider.
"Shuffle the big cards?" Chen Ming suddenly had a nervous tension in his mind, this is a big deal, so big that it is a little ungrounded, or rather, these things inside the court can't be compared with him as an "honest and duty" businessman, even if he Chen Ming wants to manage it, then he can't manage that place.
However, Chen Ming apparently found another thing wrong.
"Hmm...... Wait a minute, isn't Marco Polo Central a foreign-related hotel...... How could the reshuffle meeting within the imperial court be held in such a place?" Chen Ming suddenly reacted and hurriedly asked.
"That's the problem...... It was a charity dinner, but a few of my dad's friends over there had already heard a little bit of rumors, and there were mysteries and fun, and they could be seen as soon as they went. Zilo said it in a mysterious way.
"Interesting...... Chen Ming smiled and asked tentatively, "Have you ever heard of the organization 'Yorkshire Butchers'?"
This sentence suddenly made Qi Luo and Chen Ming have a little bit of pity, Qi Luo slapped his thigh, his face was full of joy, he put down his wine glass, and said with a smile: "I have fought a few times, abroad, of course, not I am the main force." ”
Chen Ming also immediately understood, nodded, and sneered: "Me too." ”
※※※
To say that Chen Ming and Qi Luo's tacit understanding, in fact, there was a little spark from the first time they met, and after this dinner, the two of them had a lot of trust in each other, and especially after that conversation, Chen Ming and Qi Luo had vaguely transferred the initial suspect target to the organization of "Yorkshire Butchers", although they did not explain it thoroughly, but they also somewhat clarified some directions.
It stands to reason that Chen Ming is reluctant to participate in some things involving shuffling within the imperial court, and you really can't afford to play with some underworlds, especially the underworld with a public family as the backstage, Kennedy did a stupid thing back then, he wanted to do the Rothschild family, but he underestimated the energy of this family, and died in the car.
This is a field that even Qi Yangge, who has always liked to dance ballet on tightropes, does not dare to touch deeply, too terrifying, too bloody, a little careless, being swept into the torrent, is the consequence of being crushed.
That's why the Chen family fled in a hurry and withdrew from the Beijing Division, which is also for a reason. The old man of the Chen family laid the foreshadowing for Chen Ming in the capital, which is indeed true, but Chen Changsheng was unwilling to let Chen Ming set foot in the capital throughout his life, and was willing to let these foreshadowings rot in the ground, which is also excusable for him, indeed in this world, there are too many people who can play, and can afford to play, what is Chen Ming? Just an ant, let alone Chen Ming, even the wooden door is raging, I am afraid that in the eyes of some people, at best, it is just a slightly useful chess piece.
Now that Chen Ming has basically won the wooden door industry, it can be regarded as a resounding slap in the face to the entire wooden door family, but so what? I'm afraid that in the eyes of some people, this is just a small fight that cannot be put on the table.
Don't bother to pay attention to it.
This bureau began to get deeper and deeper.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zilo drove the Audi A8, carrying Chen Ming, straight to Central Austria Marco Polo.
There is no pompous white license plate, and there is no serial number, this A8 is driving on the road, looking particularly calm and low-key.
Chen Ming sat in the car, pillowing his chin with his hand, his expression was solemn, he now began to faintly feel that Chen Changsheng did not let him come to the capital at the beginning, and now it is indeed up to him to be reasonable.
However, if Chen Ming didn't come, it wouldn't be Chen Ming, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to break into Anhui alone and fight with the Ji family to the end.
Young people are fearless.
Chen Ming thinks that he is not a calf, but a tiger and leopard.
"Although I haven't fully confirmed whether it is that group of people, and I don't know if this dinner party will not be related to that group of people, but at least a visit can be regarded as beneficial and harmless, you must have thought so in your heart, right? While driving the car, Qi Luo glanced at the silent Chen Ming and said with a smile.
Chen Ming's out-of-focus eyes slowly gathered, he didn't answer directly, but raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Have you always driven by yourself?
"Hahahaha...... Don't you also like to drive a Tiguan alone on the campus of Beijing Normal University?" Qi Luo suddenly laughed at Chen Ming very inappropriately, and the expression on his face was full of banter.
"Sister?" Chen Ming was annoyed.
"Does Dailin count?" Zilo licked his dry lips, a subtle hint of affection in his eyes.
"You're thinking too much. Chen Ming changed his hand, rested his chin, and his eyes were in a daze.
"It's okay, young people are strong-blooded, and it's normal to see a beautiful woman who can't hold it. Zilo continued to tease.
"Okay, we're here, how are we going to get in? Do you have an invitation? I don't. Chen Ming looked ahead, and he had indeed arrived outside the hotel.
Qi Luo thought about it, shook his head seriously, and said, "Neither do I." ”
A8 slowly drove into the Central Austria Marco Polo parking lot, as soon as he got out of the car, there were two men in black dresses waiting in the parking lot, and as soon as Chen Ming and Qi Luo got out of the car, these two people greeted him and said respectfully: "It's Mr. Qi Luo and his friend, we have been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me." ”
"Oh?" Chen Ming smiled with interest, he didn't expect that Qi Luo had arranged it quite properly, and he was not blind at all.
"Let's go to the private room and wait for the dinner to begin. Qi Luo got out of the car, closed the door, and said to Chen Ming.
