went to Yanjing with Lin Guodong, but Zheng Jianhua didn't follow, which made Li Xiaoning a little worried, just him and Lin Guodong, would it be a little embarrassing?

Liu Qifeng and Xue Guoping personally came to the airport to see Lin Guodong, and the car had a special pass and drove directly onto the boarding pad. Seeing Lin Guodong and Li Xiaoning get on the plane, the two bigwigs from Binhai City left.

Lin Guodong may have closed his eyes and rested because he didn't sleep all night. This made Li Xiaoning also breathe a sigh of relief, he was still a little uncomfortable with being alone with Lin Guodong. In addition, he was also tired all night, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, he unconsciously fell asleep.

From Binhai to Yanjing, it takes more than two hours by plane. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed. As soon as he got out of the airport, Director Zhou of the Jiangdong Provincial Office in Beijing immediately trotted up and shook hands with Lin Guodong, and the driver took the luggage from Li Xiaoning's hand and turned around and walked to the Audi A6 parked aside.

After the luggage was loaded, Lin Guodong suddenly asked Li Xiaoning, "Xiaoning, do you know how to drive?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xiaoning replied subconsciously.

Hearing this, Lin Guodong said to Director Zhou: "You hand over the car to Xiaoning, I will use the car these days, you have a lot of work, you are busy first, I will ask Xiaoning to call you if you have something." ”

As the director of the Beijing Office, he is naturally a shrewd person, and Director Zhou immediately heard that Lin Guodong didn't want the people from the Beijing Office to follow, and people wanted to act cheaply. Therefore, Director Zhou didn't say a word, so he asked the driver to hand over the key to Li Xiaoning, then opened the car door and asked Lin Guodong to get in the car.

Li Xiaoning originally wanted to open the door for Lin Guodong, but seeing Director Zhou taking the lead, he went around to the front of the car and sat in the cab.

After starting the car, Li Xiaoning didn't ask Lin Guodong where he was going, he knew that when he got out of the airport, Lin Guodong would definitely give him instructions again.

Sure enough, as soon as the car left the airport, Lin Guodong said: "Go to the Great Wall Hotel first, and follow me to meet someone in the evening." ”

Li Xiaoning went to university in Yanjing, and the Great Wall Hotel was his sad place, so he naturally knew how to go. said yes at the moment, and drove towards the Great Wall Hotel.

The room has been booked a long time ago, Lin Guodong is a luxury suite, and Li Xiaoning lives in a double bed room, which is not on the same floor. Li Xiaoning went to the front desk to go through the formalities, and did not go back to his room, but followed Lin Guodong to settle down first, and then went down to eat together.

During the meal, Lin Guodong opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know what I brought you to Yanjing this time for?" ”

"I guess it's because of the Korean Wave!" Li Xiaoning had already guessed it, but Lin Guodong didn't ask, and he couldn't say it.

"Not bad." Lin Guodong said while cutting the steak, "Hallyu is not an ordinary businessman, and the network behind him is very huge. It's easy to catch him, but it's not easy at all to get him to fall under the law. ”

"The backstage of Hallyu is so powerful?" Li Xiaoning was a little surprised. He was really surprised that Lin Guodong, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, couldn't cure the Korean Wave, and he still got Yanjing to go to the door. Who is behind this Hallyu?

"Do you know the three heroes of the Ye family?" Lin Guodong asked quietly.

"I've heard a few." Li Xiaoning nodded and said, "I'm talking about Old Man Ye's three sons, Ye Wangchun, Ye Chuxia and Ye Zhiqiu, who are all leaders in politics, military and business respectively. ”

"Hallyu is Ye Zhiqiu's person." Lin Guodong took a sip of the red wine on the table and said slowly.

Li Xiaoning was moved, he had not only heard the name of the Ye family's three masters, but also heard the Ye family's three masters' style of acting. They have always regarded themselves as the First Prince-Party. Among the founding fathers of the older generation, the Ye family is not the most credited, and the status is not the highest, but in Ye Zhiqiu's generation, the Ye family is the most flourishing, not only are there many people, but the three brothers are all in high positions, one has power, one has guns, and one has money, it is impossible to think about it.

The three heroes of the Ye family are still well-known for protecting calves, and the three brothers have a mantra: "My people make mistakes, and I will clean them up." It's not the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Although Lin Guodong is in a high position as the secretary of the provincial party committee, he actually has no strong background in Yanjing, he himself is from a poor family, and he can have today's status because of his own efforts and the relationship between his father-in-law. His father-in-law was a member of the founding fathers, but the family was not prosperous, and only one daughter was married to Lin Guodong. Now Lin Guodong's father-in-law has long since passed away, and his wife has passed away. His biggest backstage is himself.

In Jiangdong Province, everyone may see Lin Guodong as a high mountain and a high mountain, but compared with the Ye family, Lin Guodong may not even be an opponent.

"Are we going to see Old Man Ye at night?" Li Xiaoning asked. Because he understands that if Ye Zhiqiu wants to protect the Korean Wave, except for Old Man Ye, no one may be able to stop this high-flying and domineering fourth son of the Ye family.

"Old Man Ye doesn't ask about mundane things now, so we can't bother him." Lin Guodong had finished eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I'll take you to see another person at night." A person who can lower Ye Zhiqiu. ”

Since Lin Guodong has sold Guanzi, Li Xiaoning is not good to ask again. When he saw that Lin Guodong had finished eating, he quickly stood up. But he still had a doubt in his heart, why did Lin Guodong come to Yanjing to find a relationship, why did he bring himself. Is it because he is a party to the Hallyu incident? Don't be funny. He wasn't naïve enough to do that. It is not unheard of the saying that big cases emphasize politics, medium cases talk about influence, and small cases talk about the law. Since Hallyu's case has involved the Ye family, the crux of the problem is not what crime Hallyu has committed, but whether the top should move him.

Under the command of Lin Guodong, Li Xiaoning drove the car around Sijiu City, and finally came to the gate of an old-fashioned courtyard compound.

The compound looks old, but the guards at the gate of the compound are armed policemen with internal guard signs.

Lin Guodong handed over his documents and said that he had already made an appointment by phone to find Ye Gongzi. The armed police saluted him, took his ID to the sentry box, made a phone call inside, and then came out, returned the ID to Lin Guodong, and invited them in.

This compound is divided into three entrances, and Li Xiaoning followed Lin Guodong into the innermost courtyard and into a room. Only then did he understand why Lin Guodong had brought him here, because there was a game of poker going on in the room - Texas Hold'em. Obviously, Lin Guodong has already investigated himself and knows that he is very good at Texas Hold'em, but he is still a little puzzled, can playing poker solve the problem of Hallyu?

There were six people sitting at the card table, and they were all not simple masters at first glance, but the one who attracted Li Xiaoning's attention the most was the one sitting in the innermost. Compared to the others at the table, he looked a little younger, and he looked like he was forty years old. His face is not ugly, but it is not a handsome word, it should be said that it is ordinary, walking on the street, and it will soon be forgotten after seeing it.

He was wearing a very decent Tang costume, his hair was very short, but he was also combed in the slightest, and he seemed to be very energetic. His hands are well maintained, slender and white, and at first glance they are pampered hands.

Although Lin Guodong has not introduced him yet, Li Xiaoning can be sure that this person is the Ye Gongzi that Lin Guodong is looking for, but he doesn't know if he is Ye Wangchun or Ye Chuxia.

"Gordon is here, sit down and play cards!" Ye Gongzi said with a smile.

"I brought a child here today and asked him to play with Ye Gongzi, and I watched the battle!" Lin Guodong also said with a smile.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Gongzi's eyes, "It seems that you brought a master!" Sit down, kids! Let me see how good you are! ”

Li Xiaoning was a little resistant to Ye Gongzi calling himself a child, and he was not hypocritical at the moment, so he sat down in the empty seat at the table generously. Immediately, a service staff took the chips for him, Li Xiaoning looked at the face value of the chips, and immediately drew another question mark in his heart. Because the maximum face value of these chips is only 100 dollars. It's too small, isn't it?

"How many blinds?" Li Xiaoning asked because he was joining halfway and needed to play the big blind.

"30/60, plus an additional bet of 10 dollars per person!" The dealer answered Li Xiaoning's question. Li Xiaoning nodded, picked up six ten-yuan chips and threw them into the pot.

The dealer shuffles the cards twice and quickly deals the hole cards to everyone.

"Raise to one hundred and fifteen." Said a player who looked like a soldier.

The latter chose to call. In fact, Li Xiaoning is very skeptical, how can anyone choose to fold with such a big bet? Li Xiaoning has already placed blinds, and it is impossible to fold a community card without looking at it, anyway, it is only a win or loss of dozens of dollars. So, after looking at his hole cards, he also chose to call.

The dealer deals three community cards - a King of diamonds, a 6 of hearts, and a 2 of flowers.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaoning can't use any of these three community cards.

Li Xiaoning's boss frowned and knocked lightly on the table.

Li Xiaoning calmly picked up the drink handed by the waiter, took a sip, and knocked on the card table - he was ready, as long as someone bets, even if it is a small bet, he will not hesitate to fold! Texas Hold'em is about skill, and you can't do things that fight for luck.

To Li Xiaoning's surprise, the people behind him also chose to concede, and then it was Ye Gongzi's turn.

Ye Gongzi's eyes looked at everyone's faces one by one, and said with a smile: "What kind of conspiracy are you playing?" Then he picked up a few chips and played them in his hand for twenty seconds, but they still didn't throw them into the pot. Instead, he struck the redwood on the edge of the table twice with the knuckles of his right hand.

The dealer then dealt another community card - a 7 of diamonds.

Li Xiaoning's heart couldn't help but secretly complain, he couldn't use this card. But looking at the cards, there is the possibility of a flush and a straight, not to mention that there are no cards in your hand at all, even if you can make a pair of kings, or three of a kind is not insurance. Still, he decided to fold as soon as someone bets.

However, Li Xiaoning's boss still did not bet, but chose to let the card again.
