In fact, although Hong Jinlong is not young, he is in good health, and his spirit is more than that of many young people. And he is really interested in the outside world, and he really wants to go out and have a look.

But Hong Jinlong is a person with a criminal record, and it is not so simple to apply for a European and American visa. What's more, he still has to stay in his ability to control his subordinates' every move at close range, for fear that his subordinates will take advantage of his opportunity to rebel in Europe, which is a situation that Hong Jinlong absolutely does not want to see. It is precisely because of these reasons that Hong Jinlong dispelled the idea of going abroad.

Seeing that Hong Jinlong's attitude was very resolute, Jiang Ping wisely did not mention the matter again. Otherwise, it is very likely to be self-defeating and make Hong Jinlong aware of his intentions. So he just glanced at Ye Mei, and then followed Hong Jinlong to the restaurant.

As he passed through the hall, Hung Jinlong's henchman Leopard hurried in. After seeing Ye Mei, the leopard's gaze immediately fell on her, and he did not hide the possessiveness in his eyes at all.

Even an experienced woman like Ye Mei was very uncomfortable by the leopard's extremely aggressive gaze, and stood behind Jiang Ping without a trace, just avoiding the leopard's gaze.

Of course, the leopard whose eyes were blocked was very dissatisfied, and glared at Jiang Ping viciously. However, Jiang Ping didn't take the leopard in his eyes at all, this guy was just a dog of Hong Jinlong, and he would never dare to show his fangs to Jiang Ping before the master turned his face.

So after noticing the leopard's eyes, a mocking smile appeared on Jiang Ping's face, and he deliberately reached out to hug Ye Mei's waist.

The leopard was of course even more dissatisfied when he saw this, but because of the boss's plan, he could only glare at Jiang Ping angrily. He didn't even dare to say a few harsh words to Jiang Ping. A leopard who feels that heroes are useless. I could only watch Jiang Ping and Ye Mei walk side by side in front of me. They talked quietly along the way, but they didn't dare to make any moves.

"Bastard, when Hong Ye does something to you, I must catch that woman and fix her in front of you!" It wasn't until Jiang Ping walked into the restaurant that the leopard who stayed in place said to himself angrily: "At that time, I want you to witness the whole process, and then I want you to live rather than die, bastard!"

"The woman who dares to look at me like this. Dare to show me your face!" At the same time, Jiang Ping, who was smiling and groaning on the surface, also scolded in his heart: "In the future, you bastard might as well die!"

Of course, that's all for later, for now, Jiang Ping still has to treat Hong Jinlong as a snake, and after everything is arranged, he will launch a deadly attack on him.

The three of them have their own concerns, and of course this meal is tasteless. Ye Mei used weight loss as an excuse to stop eating without a few bites; while Jiang Ping couldn't say that he had lost weight, so he had to say that he had just come back and was a little uncomfortable and his appetite was not very good; Hong Jinlong claimed that he was old and had a good appetite. I only ate a little and asked the maid to close the table.

Although the three of them knew in their hearts that this meal was just a ritual. However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was so awkward. It also caught them by surprise. This also gave Hong Jinlong a deeper sense of crisis, and felt that he had to speed up the plan, so as not to be seen by the smart Ye Mei.

So after lunch, Hong Jinlong said to Jiang Ping without warning: "Xiao Jiang, I heard that you played chess well. I happen to be free this afternoon, how about playing a few games of chess with me, an old man?"

Hong Jinlong's words made Ye Mei secretly surprised, and she thought that he was going to attack Jiang Ping, so she couldn't help but cast a worried look at him.

However, Jiang Ping believes that the current situation has not reached the point of no return, and Hong Jinlong will not do it easily. So Jiang Ping just shook his head at Ye Mei imperceptibly, and then motioned for her to go first with his eyes.

Ye Mei, who had a good heart with Jiang Ping, immediately understood what he meant, and immediately pretended to be a little dissatisfied and said, "You still have to play chess, but I made an appointment to do my hair in the afternoon!"

Hong Jinlong didn't want Ye Mei to stay, so it was inconvenient for him to talk to Jiang Ping at all, so when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Then you can do your hair and let Xiao Jiang stay and play chess with me." You're not interested in playing chess anyway, and you'll be bored if you stay. ”

Ye Mei also wanted to take Jiang Ping with her, so she pretended to be unhappy and said, "But if there is no one to accompany you, it's boring to do your hair alone!"

"Jiang Ping will be bored with you!" Hong Jinlong was determined to leave Jiang Ping behind, and immediately said to Ye Mei: "You still go alone, Jiang Ping will lend me half a day, and I will return it to you at night!"

Seeing that Hong Jinlong had talked about this, Ye Mei couldn't insist anymore, so she had to cast a "be careful" look at Jiang Ping, and then left a little sullenly.

Watching Ye Mei walk out of the villa gate, Hong Jinlong said unhurriedly: "Xiao Jiang, you have had a good time in the past few months, right?"

"Hehe, in fact, it's not comfortable, it's very tiring to be alone outside, unfamiliar with life. Jiang Ping smiled honestly: "It's better to come back, everything is so familiar, it makes people feel at ease." ”

Hong Jinlong didn't care where Jiang Ping was, he was more comfortable, and immediately looked at him and said coldly: "What did you promise me before you went abroad, shouldn't you have forgotten?"

Jiang Ping immediately looked aggrieved and said: "How can you, how can you forget the things you explained, I have been trying to find a way to get the news from her mouth these days!"

Jiang Ping's acting skills are so good that even an old Jianghu like Hong Jinlong can't tell if he is lying. Hong Jinlong stared at Jiang Ping for a long time, but he still looked innocent and aggrieved, but he couldn't see the slightest weakness and fear.

It was precisely because of Jiang Ping's outstanding performance that Hong Jinlong believed that he was telling the truth, so he nodded lightly and said, "Okay, you are loyal to me, and I will not treat you badly in the future." Tell me, then, what news did you get?"

Knowing that if he didn't give Hong Jinlong any more "real materials" this time, this old guy would definitely be suspicious, so Jiang Ping had already thought of a rhetoric.

Since Hong Jinlong asked, Jiang Ping immediately whispered: "Ye Mei is very vigilant about this matter, I deliberately led the topic to this several times, but she diverted it. ”

Hong Jinlong still believed in Jiang Ping's words, and he also had the same opinion, otherwise Ye Mei would not have kept this secret for so long.

But just this kind of answer couldn't satisfy Hong Jinlong, he couldn't help frowning: "I've been waiting for you for half a year, and there's only such a sentence?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Ping hurriedly continued: "But once Ye Mei was drunk, she showed a little bit of a mouth. She said that her father had been back to his hometown several times a year before he died, and that it was not for a short time. Although Ye Mei didn't say what her father was doing, her tone told me with great certainty that it was definitely a big deal!"

"Oh?" Jiang Ping's words successfully aroused Hong Jinlong's interest, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and mutter, "Let me think about it...... That's right, he did go back to his hometown several times the year before, could it be that at that time, he hid his things back?"

Speaking of which, Hong Jinlong used to be a trusted follower of Ye Mei's father, and he still knew a lot about some of his original actions, so he was immediately sure that Jiang Ping was right. At the beginning, Ye Mei's father returned to his hometown many times in a year, and he didn't bring his other brothers back.

The more Hong Jinlong thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he couldn't help but nod lightly and said, "Hmm...... Indeed it is. ”

Looking at Hong Jinlong's appearance, Jiang Ping only felt funny in his heart. Ye Mei's father did return to his hometown several times a year before his death, but that was just to move his parents' graves, and had no other intentions. However, using this matter to deceive Hong Jinlong will definitely have twice the result with half the effort, and he can't help but believe it.

It turned out that Hong Jinlong really took the bait, and felt that after many years of hard pursuit, he finally found the clue that Ye Mei's father left a fortune.

And the "hero" who helped Hong Jinlong find the clue was of course Jiang Ping, which also made him feel that his previous decision was too wise, and he should indeed encourage this young man to get close to Ye Mei, and then extract the news he needed from her mouth.

Although Hong Jinlong had already decided that as long as he found the wealth left by Ye Mei's father, he would dispose of Jiang Ping and Ye Mei together. But at the moment, he still needs Jiang Ping, and Jiang Ping has also "made meritorious contributions", of course, he has to give him some sweetness.

Thinking of this, Hong Jinlong immediately changed his expression, and said to Jiang Ping with a pleasant face: "Yes, yes, my eyes will never look at the wrong person, I know that you can do it! I will ask someone to write you a check for 100,000 yuan, buy whatever you want, don't be polite to me." ”

"Thank you Uncle Hong!" Jiang Ping also pretended to be grateful to Hong Jinlong, and then did not forget to show his loyalty: "Hehe, this is what you want me to do, I don't dare not care." ”

"I've always had clear rewards and punishments, and if things are done well, there will be rewards, if things are done badly......" Hong Jinlong said here and deliberately stopped, giving Jiang Ping free space for imagination.

Jiang Ping also hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will continue to inquire and find out about that matter as soon as possible." ”

Hong Jinlong is already thinking about this matter, whether to send some capable people to Ye Mei's hometown first, and go there to find out the bottom first. Although more than ten years have passed, even if you find a little clue, it is a good harvest for Hong Jinlong.

Because he was in a hurry to arrange this matter, Hong Jinlong was not interested in going around in circles with Jiang Ping again, but nodded a little perfunctorily and said: "Okay, you go, as long as you do things for me wholeheartedly, I won't treat you badly!"

"Well, then I'm leaving!" Jiang Ping nodded energetically, and then strode out of Hong Jinlong's villa.

The treacherous and cunning Hong Jinlong squinted his eyes behind and looked at Jiang Ping's back, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: "Go, work for me wholeheartedly." When that wealth arrives, it will be the day you and Ye Mei die!" (To be continued......)
