73 Coercion
Ning Die was coerced into taking her to a restaurant built by water.
Huo Boding's location is the VIP box on the second floor, you can see the Qingshui River in the southwest outside by the window, the canopy boat is quietly parked on the water, Huo Bai asks Ning Die to sit down, and the muzzle of his gun is still on Ning Die's waist.
"It is said that my arrogant brother has a deep affection for Miss Ning, and now the Japanese are wantonly attacking the southwest, and at this juncture he actually ran to the northwest for you, tsk," Huo Bai stood up with a metal hook and crutch and poured wine for Ning Die opposite.
The dishes were ordered, and as soon as they arrived, Xiao Er had already presented the tea and rice one by one.
Ning Die's waist bar sat straight, and when she heard this, Liu Ye's eyebrows furrowed, "Mr. Huo, if you have something to say, please speak directly." β
Huo Bai chuckled, his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Huo Cheng, especially when he laughed, the two of them were the same cold, and the smile was difficult to reach the bottom of his eyes, "I heard that Miss Ning was forced by my younger brother, and was even locked up in Huo Mansion for several months, you should not like him, otherwise you would not have run away from marriage." β
When he said the second half of the sentence, Ning Die knew that the other party was not here to be a matchmaker, she had no contact with Huo Bai in her previous life, and what she heard the most in this life was that although this person was the eldest of the Huo family, he was suppressed by Huo Cheng, and he was disabled, and he had the name of Huo Shao in the southwest.
"Miss Ning, Huo Cheng is now covering the sky with one hand in the southwest, if you want to get rid of his control, I'm afraid it's not easy." Huo Bai sat down on crutches, and his lack of exercise for many years caused his face to turn white, and there was a gloomy and dead air that could not be dispersed in his weakness.
Ning Die said: "Huo Cheng and I have already been cut in two in the northwest, and he will not come to pester me again." β
"Oh~" Huo Bai drank a glass of white wine alone, "Then how do you explain Cheng Liu, who followed you?" β
Ning Die's words were stagnant, and Huo Bai continued: "Last night, you were the finale model for the Xiao family's fashion show, but my good brother stood in the corner and watched the whole time, but you didn't notice it. β
Ning Die's hands that were flat on his knees couldn't help but clench, and Huo Bo said again: "You have followed Huo Cheng for a while, you know a little bit about his temper, there is only what he doesn't want in this world, and there is nothing he can't get, Miss Ning is still a student of Western Normal University, right?" β
After he finished speaking, he smiled and picked up vegetables for Ning Die, even though Ning Die didn't even touch the chopsticks in front of him.
"Xishi University Hall is a good school, you are young and beautiful, and your future must be immeasurable, but unfortunately gossip is sometimes more deadly than bullets."
"Mr. Huo," Ning Die forced himself to calm down, "You directly say your purpose. β
Huo Bai put down his chopsticks, his patience was exhausted, he directly showed disdain for Ning Die's indifference, thinking that he was dignified Huo Shao and a good person to be polite, and the other party still put on such a lofty appearance.
"I will give Miss Ning a thousand oceans, please cooperate with Miss Ning."
"Cooperate with what?"
"I will arrange a place for you to live, you will stay there for three days, I promise that after three days, you will be completely free, and he Huo Cheng will no longer be able to threaten you."
"Why should I trust you?" Ning Die could see Hopper's contempt for her.
Huo Bai turned the crutch in his hand, "Because at least in terms of our attitude towards Huo Cheng, we are the same, and it is beneficial for you and me to solve this threat." β
Ning Die tilted her head out of the window and looked at nothing, "I'm sorry Mr. Huo, I have no interest in cooperating with you." β
Huo Bai gritted his teeth, "That's up to Miss Ning." β
He originally planned to let Ning Die cooperate obediently, if not, it would be a big deal to take people to the planned place.
The man who had been standing behind Ning Die dragged Ning Die up, his actions were rude and rude, the chair that Ning Die had just sat on was knocked over, her brows furrowed even deeper, they were all surnamed Huo, but she had to say that Huo Bai's patience was really not half as good as Huo Cheng, and if it was Huo Cheng today, he would never be so reckless and eager.
"Hmph, take her!" Hopper sneered and ordered.
Almost at the same time, a tall young man walked out of the canopy boat, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a dark green military uniform obediently on his body, exuding a cold temperament under the sun, like a sharp cold sword out of its sheath.
The young man looked at the people by the window on the shore and said indifferently, "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. β
A word made the people by the window β‘β‘ their faces.
The boatman let the canopy boat dock, the young man put on a military jacket and landed on land, the owner of the hotel personally came down to greet him, Ning Die heard the footsteps coming from the staircase, the unique muffled sound of the heavy soles of military boots buckled on the wooden board.
Ten seconds later, the door of the box was pushed open, and the young man leisurely broke into the tense atmosphere, ignoring the black spear raised by Huo Bai's subordinates, and walked straight to the table and drank a glass of wine from the cup in front of Ning Die.
"It's hard to drink," the young man bared his teeth, "Big brother, it's not cheap to eat here, I've been a foreign minister for a while, and I haven't done any substantive work, but the taste of the hotel is rising." β
"Huo Cheng, are you here alone?" No one else came up to the left and right, and Hopper asked gloomily.
Huo Cheng tilted his head behind him, revealing a "guess" expression, Huo Bo suspiciously motioned to a subordinate to go downstairs to investigate, but then the subordinate came back and said, "Huo Da Shao, there is no one downstairs." β
Huo Bai was excited, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he snatched the gun from the subordinate who delivered the news, and the black hole in the muzzle of the gun was aimed straight at Huo Cheng's temple, "Second brother, it seems that you are advancing horizontally today, and you can only go out vertically." β
"Huo Chengβ" Ning Die subconsciously shouted.
Huo Cheng glanced at her, this shout with a sense of worry made him feel good, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows took off a lot of indifference, his eyes were fixed on Ning Die's body, his footsteps did not move at all, and he pushed Huo Bai's muzzle away, "Big brother, it seems that the cultivation at home in the past few years has made your brain have a layer of patina, and you don't even know how to write the word stupid." β
"Huo Cheng, you ......"
"You think that if you kill me, you will be able to take back the military power in the southwest?" Seeing that Ning Die was stared at by his Chi Guoguo gaze and lowered his head, he had no choice but to turn his face regretfully, and his expression returned to the unruly attitude just now, "Now the southwest government only recognizes my Huo Cheng's name, not the Huo family." β
"That'...... That...... Anyway, I have to kill you. With that, Hopper's hand holding the gun began to tremble.
"With your grade, you are my subordinate, the subordinate raised a gun to threaten the boss, according to the laws of the southwest, we brothers and sisters love to use guns to make trouble, you put the gun down now I just think it is fun between our brothers, otherwise, you, including your subordinates," Huo Cheng hooked his lips, "If you say that you are going to murder important government officials, if you want to kill the enemy and betray the country, think about it, according to Dad's temper, he must be the first person to kill you." β
"You don't have to be alarmist here!" Huo Bai was so angry that he chopped the ground with a cane, he endured Huo Cheng for a few years, and the hatred in his chest made him want to drink Huo Cheng's blood and gnaw Huo Cheng's flesh.
"Am I alarmist, you know for yourself," Huo Cheng looked around at the black-clothed bodyguards, a total of seven people, "You are all people hired by my brother for money, you are very angry, I haven't seen it in the Huo family, and he can't transfer people in the southwest government." β
These arrogant subordinates just now looked at each other, they were indeed people invited by Huo Shaohua from the martial arts hall at a high price, they had heard that the Huo family brothers were not in harmony, but they did not expect that both sides were going to kill each other, they did not plan to get involved in the government's struggle, let alone be killed as traitors who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
Among them, the people close to Huo Bai hesitated and persuaded him: "Huo Shao, either or let's withdraw first, after all, if General Huo dies here, we all have to be buried with him, no...... Not cost-effective. β
Huo Bai must have understood this truth in his heart, but he needed a step, and this was exactly what he wanted, and he deliberately gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "You're right, I don't have to pay for my life for a wolf cub raised by my aunt, let's go." β
He took the gun, threw it to his subordinates, and then left with his crutches.
"It seems that brother, you have forgotten how you came to be the foreign minister," Huo Cheng looked at the sky casually, "From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to report to the government office, I will talk to Dad!" β
"Huo Cheng!" Huo Bai turned around and his eyes were split, if it wasn't for his subordinates to stop him, his crutches almost waved on Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng smacked his lips, "The nature of a wolf is to hold grudges, you have the strength to stare at me, you might as well think about how to explain to your father." β
When it comes to Master Huo, Huo Bai's momentum instantly weakened, how arrogant he was when he came, and how depressed he was when he went.
Suddenly the box fell into silence, only Huo Cheng and Ning Die were left, Ning Die stood without speaking, she was helpless to play with the buttons of her wallet back and forth, so Huo Cheng spoke first: "Have you had lunch?" β
Ning Die shook her head.
Huo Cheng called Xiao Er to come in and take down the dishes, picked up the menu and prepared to order again.
"No need," Ning Die stopped him, "I made an appointment, you can eat it yourself." β
Huo Cheng didn't ask who it was, maybe he knew he just didn't want to ask, his back stiffened as he sat down, and he nodded after a while.
Ning Die hurriedly opened the door to leave, and as soon as the door opened, he bumped into Li Hao, who was about to come in, followed by Cheng Liu, who was also panicked.
When the other party saw her, he exaggeratedly stroked his chest and said: "Miss Ning, I was scared to death when I saw you being taken away, but fortunately, the second young man was in time, you are fine." β
Ning Die smiled at Cheng Liu, didn't know how to answer, Cheng Liu's nerves were thick, he didn't feel the subtlety of the atmosphere of the box, and said a lot: "Miss Ning, you pay attention in the past two days, Huo Da Shao's people have wandered around your house several times, if it weren't for Er Shao asking me to follow you secretly, I would ...... today."
"Ahem," Li Hao hurriedly faked coughing, but he didn't see that his master Huo's face was dark, how could he say anything about tracking Miss Ning!
But Cheng was puzzled, "Mr. Li, what's wrong with your throat?" β
Li Hao: "......"
Ning Die guessed the ins and outs of the incident, she was not a black and white person, but thinking of her current relationship with Huo Cheng, she sighed and said to Huo Cheng detachedly: "Thank you today." β
Huo Cheng didn't answer for a while, and after a long time, when Ning Die was about to step out of the box door, he responded in a loud voice: "You're welcome." β
Li Hao on the side lamented, what a bad fate.
