Chapter 0239 - Scapegoat

Imperial Dining Yuan is not the top Chinese restaurant in Haizhu, but it is the most distinctive Chinese restaurant. It looks like a palace, and the interior decoration is also antique, and dining in it is really a bit of a "royal meal".

As soon as Xia Lei arrived, Hu Hou led Xia Lei to a private room.

There are several cold dishes on the table in the private room, as well as red wine and white wine, and the hot dishes have not yet come up, but it can be seen from the grade of cold dishes and drinks that the cost of this meal will not be low.

Xia Lei smiled, "Mayor Hu, what is this for?"

Hu Hou smiled bitterly, "Xia Lei, you know my identity, it's already a violation for me to invite you here to talk about things, be considerate of my brother." ”

Xia Lei said: "Mayor Hu, you are too polite, if you have anything to say to me, if you have any requirements, please mention to me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." ”

"But you said this, I asked you to withdraw the people, can you do it?"

"Mayor Hu, I'll pour you a drink. "Xia Lei also has a slippery head.

Hu Hou covered the wine glass with his hand and looked at Xia Lei with some displeasure, "Look at you, just now you said that you can mention it if you have a request, but it has changed in a blink of an eye." ”

Xia Lei put down the Wuliangye wine bottle in his hand, "Mayor Hu, it may be a matter of criticism for you, but for us, it is a matter of hundreds of people eating. You have closed my company, and one letter is half a year, what do I do to pay the workers' wages, and what do I use to buy insurance for the workers? This is a life-breaking thing, the workers are angry, vent, this is not good? I haven't persuaded them, but no one listens to me, what can I do?"

Hu Hou said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of being arrested?"

Xia Lei said with a smile: "Mayor Hu, if you arrest me, you can solve the problem, you let people arrest me now, I don't complain." ”

Hu Hou shook his head and smiled bitterly. The workers of the Leima Manufacturing Company were just walking around the streets, holding signs that were also sad slogans, and they didn't even have a single sensitive word, so why did he arrest Xia Lei? And once he arrested Xia Lei, not only would he not solve the problem at hand, but he would also make the situation worse.

"Xia Lei, it's not that I don't administer justice for you, but ...... Politics is the most complex and dirtisome thing in the world, and you are an outsider, and you can't understand my difficulties. I just want to help you, and I don't have the strength to do that. If I insist on standing on your side, not only will I not be able to protect your interests, but I will also step down. So, you still have to understand my difficulties. ”

"Understood, that's why I'm here. Xia Lei said.

Even Shi Boren couldn't help, let alone Hu Hou, a small mayor.

At this time, the waiter of the restaurant pushed open the door of the private room and began to serve the food.

There are not many dishes, but they are all exquisite and classy.

When the waiter opened the red wine with the bottle opener, Hu Hou's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he got up and walked out, saying at the same time: "I'm sorry, I'll answer a call." ”

Xia Lei nodded and watched Hu Hou walk out of the private room. He was a little curious in his heart, who would call Hu Hou at this time? As soon as this thought moved, his left eye jumped slightly, and the wooden wall of the private room suddenly disappeared from the field of vision of his left eye.

Hu Hou was standing in the aisle outside the private room to answer the phone, with a very respectful look on his face.

Xia Lei's left eye locked on Hu Hou's lips, interpreting his language with his lips.

"Hmm...... Mr. Gu, I've already made an appointment, when are you coming......? I mean, you two sit down and have a good talk, and now that things are like this, I can't get off the stage...... Yes, yes, there is a solution to everything, you two sit down and talk, I will be a middleman, and we will resolve the contradiction together, do you think about it? Hu Hou hung up the phone.

Xia Lei also retracted his gaze, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that he wants to be a peacemaker, but with Hu Hou's face, he can at most make an appointment with Gu Kewu, and it is impossible to make an appointment with Gu Dingshan." Is Gu Kewu going to come and negotiate with me? Wait...... Hu Hou said, 'I have already made an appointment, when will you come', so it was not Hu Hou who took the initiative to ask me, but someone asked him to ask me to ......"

Hu Hou walked in, and the waiter in the private room poured red wine into the decanter, and then pushed the dining cart away.

"I'm sorry. Hu Hou sat down, he looked at Xia Lei, and wanted to say something, but it was not easy to speak.

Xia Lei's gaze fell on the wine decanter placed by the waiter on the table, silently awakening the microvision ability of his left eye. In his left eye, the transparent wine decanter and the red wine inside were instantly magnified, like a red swimming pool, and everything was magnified and became extremely clear. He soon noticed that there was something white powdery at the bottom of the decanter that was slowly dissolving.

Xia Lei's eyes then moved to the hot dishes that the waiter had just served, and he found that there were similar white powders in these dishes, which dissolved more slowly and more obviously than the white powder in red wine.

It's a trap!

Xia Lei's heart was bright. If Gu Kewu asked him, even if he went to the appointment, he would definitely be full of vigilance. But if Hu Hou asked him, he would not be wary. The fact is also the same, if it weren't for the fact that he used lip language to interpret Hu Hou's language and found flaws, he wouldn't have realized that this was a trap at all!

Hu Hou picked up the wine decanter, "Let's drink some red first." ”

"Hmm. Xia Lei answered, and his gaze once again penetrated the wooden wall on the left side of the private room.

There are no diners in the private room on the left.

Xia Lei's gaze penetrated the wooden wall on the right, and there were two people sitting in the private room on the right, Dong Wu and Qin Qi. There was no food or wine on the table in front of them, only a sword.

Dong Wu and Qin Qi's eyes were focused on the wooden wall separating the private room, and they didn't talk, but they both listened to the movement here with bated breath.

Xia Lei retracted his gaze, looked at the glass of red wine that Hu Hou poured for himself, and said with a smile: "Mayor Hu, let's have a drink first." ”

"Okay. Hu Hou picked up the goblet, touched the glass with Xia Lei, and then raised his head to drink.

Xia Lei took advantage of Hu Hou's head to quickly pour the red wine in the wine glass from his shoulder to a basin of dripping Guanyin behind him. Qin Xiang's training played a role before, and his hands were extremely fast. Before Hu Hou drank the red wine in the glass, he had already completed all the movements, put the empty wine glass between his lips, and pretended to be bold and dry in one sip.

Hu Hou pursed his lips and put down the dry wine glass.

Xia Lei picked up the wine decanter, stood up and poured wine for Hu Hou, "Mayor Hu, I'll pour it for you." ”

Hu Hou smiled and said: "You want to get me drunk, let me tell you, this kind of red wine is no different from a drink to me, I can drink two bottles of one." ”

Xia Lei smiled and said, "Then let's have another drink." ”

Hu Hou drank the second glass of wine, and the pot of dripping Guanyin also drank the second glass of wine.

"Why is this red wine so strong?" Hu Hou shook his head.

Xia Lei also said: "Yes, I also feel dizzy, is it fake wine?"

"I'll ask ......" Before he finished speaking, Hu Hou, who had just gotten up, gave up his feet and fell to the ground.

Xia Lei grabbed the wine decanter and poured some red wine on his body, then took out his mobile phone and opened the recording software, and then he also fell to the ground.

Just two minutes after Xia Lei also "fainted", Dong Wu and Qin Qi pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

Dong Wu kicked Xia Lei in the ass and scolded, "Damn, you kid also have today?"

Xia Lei's ass was kicked in pain, but he didn't even say a word.

Qin Qi sneered, "This kid has finally fallen into our hands, but I have to admit that this kid is too cunning and difficult to deal with, if it weren't for Young Master Wu using Hu Hou, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to catch him." ”

"This kid is better than us in kung fu, and more cunning than a fox, of course it will take some trouble to deal with him, but no matter how cunning he is, he won't be our prey? He's finished, haha. Dong Wu looked very happy, and he kicked Xia Lei again.

Xia Lei was still motionless.

"Let's take them away. Qin Qi said: "It's already secured over there." ”

Dong Wu said: "I take Hu Hou, you take this kid." After speaking, he helped Hu Hou, who had fallen to the ground, up and carried it on his back.

Qin Qi also helped Xia Lei up, put it on his back, and the two left the private room and walked in the direction of the back door from the aisle.

There was no one in the aisle, it was quiet, it was not normal, it was normal.

There was a waiter guarding the back door, he was the one who served food and wine to Hu Hou and Xia Lei just now. He opened the back door, and behind the back door was an alley, and a black business car parked in the doorway.

The attendant opened the door, then went around to the cab and got in.

Xia Lei faced two choices, one was to immediately subdue Qin Qi and Dong Wu and save Hu Hou, and the other was to let these two take him and Hu Hou somewhere. The first option has the lowest risk, but it can't help Gu Kewu, or even Qin Qi and Dong Wu. With just that little recording, Qin Qi and Dong Wu can have hundreds of explanations for exculpation. The second option will allow things to continue, there is a great risk, but there is a chance for Gu Kewu to swallow the bitter fruit of his own cleverness this time!

After a little thought, Xia Lei chose the latter. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, and his super ability is also the basis for him to make this choice!

Dong Wu and Qin Qi put Xia Lei and Hu Hou on the back sofa of the business car, and the two also sat on the second row of sofas. The waiter drove out of the alley, and after exiting the alley, he drove in the direction of the seaside.

Xia Lei said secretly in his heart: "Is it going to the Qunying Club? If it is going to the Qunying Club, then I have to do it halfway." ”

Dong Wu glanced back at Xia Lei, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is your last journey in the world, enjoy it, I will personally send you on your way later." ”

Qin Qi smiled and said, "He doesn't know anything, what's the use of you telling him this?"

Dong Wu said: "I'm happy. ”

Qin Qi said: "I don't have such a big grudge as you, I was thinking, after doing this vote, we have to go abroad for a while, where do you say we should go?

Dong Wu said: "I want to go to Japan. ”

"Why?"

"I heard that Japanese women have a lot of taste, so I wanted to try it. ”

"My day, I didn't expect you to be hornier than me at such an age, okay, just go to Japan, I'm going to compete with you to see who is better. ”

"Hahaha......"
