Chapter 519: Shocking Changes During the Banquet
Kong Qinghe, the director of the public security bureau, is definitely a character in the East China Sea, and although Zhou Hongda, who is exquisite, has no friendship with Kong Qinghe, he definitely knows each other. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many guests outside, he was really busy, so Zhou Hongda would have come to toast early.
"Boss Zhou is so polite! Congratulations on a prosperous business. Kong Qinghe raised his wine glass and took a sip and said.
"Hehe~ I'm all blessed by Xiao Zhong. The fruits and vegetables used in these signature dishes are actually cultivated by Xiao Zhong's master, and the taste is particularly good and fragrant. I just wanted to thank him. Xinxin, you and Xiao Zhong are buddies, toast for me. "Zhou Hongda's wine has been dried up with Kong Qinghe, but there is still Zhou Xin.
"Brother Huan, I toast you." Zhou Xin said with a wine glass.
"Uncle Zhou, what you said can be seen. Do we still need to say thank you for this friendship? Zhou Xin, let's feel free! Zhong Huan said casually, but when he saw that Zhou Xin still dried up the wine, he also drank a glass himself.
"Xiao Zhong, I'm not going to see you. Even if friends help each other, it's right to say thank you, not to mention that you have helped me so much. I'm so busy here today that I won't bother you. Everyone eat and drink well, and if you need anything, just come to me. ”
Zhou Hongda didn't stay long after toasting, and then said goodbye. If this meal was Zhong Huan's invitation, he would have been exempted directly, but Kong Qinghe's invitation would not be good for him.
Zhou Hongda said politely here, and Zhong Huan and Kong Qinghe also responded politely. Before Zhou Hongda and Zhou Xin left, Peng Miao's mobile phone rang. Peng Miao picked up her mobile phone and saw that it was a call from the store, so she hurriedly picked it up.
"Sister Miao, come back quickly. The treasure of our town store was moved away by Brother Lei. ”
An anxious voice came from the phone. As soon as Peng Miao heard the voice, she knew that it was Liu Xiaoying who was watching the store. This girl is from Xiaohe Village, and she is very familiar with Peng Miao and Peng Lei.
"Xiaoying, don't worry. What is the treasure of the town store? Peng Miao asked puzzled.
"It's the pot of orchids we just won. I asked Brother Lei why he took the flowers, and he moved the car and pulled them away without saying anything. And let me not tell you yet. ”
Liu Xiaoying was also very nervous about making this call. Peng Lei didn't let her tell Peng Miao when she took the flowers, but Peng Miao was the operator of the flower shop after all, and Liu Xiaoying didn't dare not say it. In the end, she pondered for a while, her sister was older than her younger brother, and she was her own boss, so she couldn't help but call Peng Miao.
"What? When did this happen? ”
Peng Miao was shocked when she heard this. She and Yang Min did not sell the big crown lotus that she took to participate in the Lan Expo. Instead, it was an honor to take it back to the store. In terms of short-term benefits, it is true that a lot of money can be made by selling Dasu Guan Heding at the Lan Expo, and there are indeed people who have paid tens of millions of high prices. However, in the long run, keeping this pot of orchids in the store will enhance the reputation of the flower company. Peng Miao asked Zhong Huan at that time, and Zhong Huan also tended not to sell it, but he didn't expect it to be taken away by Peng Lei.
"That's what just happened. Brother Lei's face didn't look very good, as if he ......" Liu Xiaoying hesitated.
"Seems like what? You're talking. Peng Miao is worried about orchids now, but she is more worried about Peng Lei, because she has no idea why Peng Lei is doing this.
"Brother Lei seems to have fought with someone else." Liu Xiaoying said carefully. She didn't dare to say that Peng Lei looked like she had been beaten.
"Fighting? Do you see someone following him to carry flowers? Peng Miao immediately thought of a possibility, that is, Peng Lei was coerced by bad people.
"That's not true, Brother Lei came alone." Liu Xiaoying said frankly.
"I know this. You don't have to worry about the store. I'll call Peng Lei. Peng Miao found that Liu Xiaoying didn't know much, so she decided to ask Peng Lei directly, if he hadn't been coerced, it should be no problem to answer the phone.
"Sister Miao, what's wrong with Leizi?"
Zhong Huan had been listening to the side, and with his ear power, he could hear the conversation between Peng Miao and Liu Xiaoying. But he still had to ask a hypocritical question. Zhou Hongda and Zhou Xin, who were about to leave, also stopped, although Zhou Xin didn't hear the full content of the call. But he also heard that Peng Lei was fighting with someone, he and Peng Lei were buddies, of course, this kind of thing couldn't be ignored.
Peng Lei moved the award-winning orchids in the store, as if he had a fight with others. I don't know the specifics, so I'll call him and ask him. After Peng Miao finished speaking, she hurriedly dialed the phone.
"Peng Miao, don't worry. If you have something to say to Peng Lei, he will definitely listen to you. Yang Min saw that Peng Miao was in a hurry, so he took advantage of the time when the phone rang to persuade him.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. I don't know if Peng Lei didn't hear it, or if he deliberately didn't answer. This time, Peng Miao was even more anxious.
"Sister Miao, I'll give Leizi a call and try it." Zhong Huan thought of Peng Lei hiding from Peng Miao when he took the flowers. I guessed that he might have something unspeakable, and it was inconvenient to say to Peng Miao that it might be better to make this call by himself.
After speaking, Zhong Huan picked up his mobile phone and was about to dial, but the mobile phone had already rang, and it was Peng Lei's call. This made Zhong Huan feel a little surprised, and hurriedly picked up the phone and asked, "Leizi, what's the situation?" ”
"Big brother, my sister is having dinner with you, right?" Peng Lei's voice sounded a little hoarse.
"That's right! Sister Lu Zhu and Zhou Xin are also there, what's going on over there? We're here to help you. Zhong Huan mentioned Kong Luzhu and Zhou Xin to tell Peng Lei that there are a lot of people on his side.
"Big brother, I'm sorry for you! Can you find a place where no one is on the phone? Peng Lei said thoughtlessly.
"Good! You wait. ”
After Zhong Huan finished speaking, he stood up and said to the person on the table: "Let's eat first, I'll talk to Peng Lei." Uncle Zhou, Zhou Xin, you guys should be busy first, there is nothing big about Peng Lei's side. ”
"Brother Huan, is Brother Lei really okay over there?" Zhou Xin asked nervously.
"A bit of a small hassle, not a big problem. Can you find me a quiet place to call? Zhong Huan asked Zhou Xindao.
"Xinxin, you can take Xiao Zhong to my office." Zhou Hongda said on the side.
"Okay, Brother Huan, come with me."
Zhou Xin said and took Zhong Huan out of the private room. Kong Qinghe, who was entertaining, didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't let a table of people wait for Zhong Huan to call back, so he beckoned everyone to continue eating.
After Zhong Huan and Zhou Xin came to Zhou Hongda's office, they continued to talk to Peng Lei and said, "Leizi, you can say it." ”
"Big brother, today I went shopping with Jiajia. Halfway through, I met a few people and kidnapped Jiajia. I tried to stop them, but there were so many of them that I didn't fight. Not long after they left, they called Jiajia's mobile phone and asked me to use the award-winning orchids in the store to replace them. I was afraid that my sister would not agree, so I didn't dare to tell her, so I took out the orchid first. Big brother, I know I shouldn't take your flowers, but I'm really afraid that something will happen to Jiajia. Peng Lei was worried about Jia Jia at this time, but also very guilty, feeling sorry for Zhong Huan and his sister.
"Don't worry! A pot of flowers is just a trivial matter, or it is important to save people. But we can't let the kidnappers lead the way in this matter, in case the kidnappers want to kill people after getting the flowers, it will be troublesome. You haven't sent the flowers yet, have you? Zhong Huan reminded Peng Lei.
"I'm on my way. Big brother, what do you think I should do now? ”
Peng Lei suddenly lost his mind when he heard Zhong Huan finish speaking. Just now, he just wanted to meet the kidnapper's request to deliver the flowers as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Zhong Huan to say that he would kill people.
"Where did they tell you to send the flowers? I'll rush over now. You drive slowly, and we'll talk about it when we meet. Zhong Huan thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'm driving to the Marriott Hotel in the south of the city. They asked me to wait in front of the hotel. Peng Lei was used to listening to Zhong Huan, and Zhong Huan supported him to replace people with flowers, so he told the truth.
"I see. Don't park your car in front of the hotel just yet, just wait for me nearby, and I'll be there shortly. Zhong Huan said and began to walk out of the office door.
"Big brother, don't tell Officer Kong about this. The kidnappers wouldn't let me call the police. "Peng Lei was also invited over for dinner before, so he knew that it was Kong Qinghe and Kong Luzhu who were invited today.
"I don't need to call the police, you forgot I'm an agent of the Nine Divisions now. The police still need to ask me for help. You drive carefully. After Zhong Huan finished speaking, he hung up the phone and pushed the door out of the office.
"Brother Huan, what's wrong? Brother Lei is okay, right? Zhou Xin waited at the door of the office and didn't leave, and when he saw Zhong Huan coming out, he stepped forward and asked.
"There's nothing wrong with others. It's just that someone has taken a fancy to my award-winning orchid. It is estimated that because Sister Peng Miao does not sell, they used some tricks to start with Peng Lei. I'm going to talk to the other party, and if I can't do it, I'll sell them the flowers. Zhong Huan's first reaction after hearing Peng Lei's words was that these kidnappers were coming for orchids.
"What tricks did the other party play? Do you need to bring more people with you? Zhou Xin knew that the other party must not be using serious means, otherwise Peng Lei would not go to the store to move flowers without saying hello.
"It's just some small means that can't be put on the table, and I can handle it alone. Now I'm going to go directly, you go to the private room to help me, just say that Peng Lei met a buyer with a high price, and I went with him to sell flowers, so that Sister Peng Miao didn't have to worry. Zhong Huan was afraid that everyone would worry, so he made up a lie.
"Okay, you can go without worry. Call us if you have anything. Zhou Xin nodded and said.
"By the way, you're going to borrow my car." Zhong Huan took two steps and turned back and said.
"My car is in the backyard, you can drive my car." Zhou Xin said and took out the car keys and handed them to Zhong Huan.
Zhong Huan bought the car with Zhou Xin, so he naturally knew Zhou Xin's car, and after going downstairs, he drove Zhou Xin's car to the Marriott Hotel. Although this hotel is not as large as the Hongda Hotel, it is also well-known in the south of the city, and Zhong Huan still knows the location. So after getting in the car, he didn't check the map navigation, and just raced the car. (To be continued.) )
