The corners of Chen Qingzhou's mouth smiled, and when the other people in the hall were almost gone, he stepped forward: "Ling Yuan, congratulations." ”

"Thank you." Fu Lingyuan's eyebrows were raised, and he only responded with the most understatement.

Lu Shaocong on the side accosted with a smile: "Brother Qingzhou." I heard that Uncle Rong is planning to retire from Zhongyi Hall? Uncle Rong likes you so much, does he want to promote you? ”

The competition for Sihaitang failed, and in the end it could only retreat to the second. This is the mockery hidden in his words. Chen Qingzhou just didn't understand, and responded calmly: "There is no shortage of capable people in our Green Gang, and there are several good seedlings in the Zhongyi Hall, Uncle Rong is still waiting, hoping to leave more opportunities to some new young people." For example, Uncle Lu recommended Ling Yuan. ”

Lu Shaocong first nodded in agreement, "Uncle Rong's idea is good, and my father often says, 'The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves', and in the past two days, he has been lamenting that their older generation should abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Immediately, the conversation changed: "However, it is not easy to find another talent like Brother Ayuan." It's a pity that Uncle Rong doesn't have a son. Seeing that Uncle Rong treats Brother Qingzhou like his own son, I thought he would want you to help him continue to take care of Zhongyitang. ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled.

I heard Lu Shaocong propose again: "If Brother Qingzhou is not in charge of Zhongyi Hall, or I will talk to my father in a while, and let him mention your position in Sanxin Group again, otherwise it is not high or low now, and it is not in line with your identity." Uncle Chen is the person who once brought glory to the Green Gang. ”

His expression was very sincere, as if he sincerely respected Chen Xi, as if he was sincerely thinking about him.

Chen Qingzhou politely refused: "The position should match the individual's ability, not the identity." Just like several elders of the Council of Elders, after repeated consideration and weighing, they were finally promoted to Ling Yuan. I am in a good position in Sanxin Group now. If I want to climb up, I'll take my time on my own. ”

He is meaningful: "You have to be justified, you can't rely on stealing, you can't rely on robbery, and you can't rely on the promotion of your fathers to play soy sauce in the company with a high position." I can't do this kind of thing. So you don't have to worry too much about me. ”

Where is the innuendo between the words that you can't hear? Lu Shaocong's expression was slightly pulled, but in the end he did not change his face, but took the initiative to put himself on Chen Qingzhou's shoulder like a good brother: "After Jingfeng Ancient Town, the three of us haven't been drinking and talking together for a while, tomorrow we will take the opportunity of the flowing water banquet, we must not get drunk and not return!" ”

"Well, tomorrow's flowing water banquet is equal to the gathering of the entire big family in the Green Gang, so it's time to relax." Chen Qingzhou nodded with a light smile, turned his eyes, and his gaze met Fu Lingyuan's gaze silently in the air, and their pupils were dark and bottomless.

Two or three seconds later, Chen Qingzhou raised his hand and patted Fu Lingyuan's arm: "The next road of the Qing Gang depends on how you take it." ”

Fu Lingyuan raised his lips obliquely: "It's not for me to look at me alone, everyone has to work together." ”

Lu Shaocong looked at the time and interjected, "Brother Ayuan, let's go to the study and wait for my dad." He said he had something to discuss with us. Now that I'm discussing the issue of the new elders with the other four elders, it's estimated that it won't be long before I come out. ”

He was impatient to continue chatting like this, and said goodbye to Chen Qingzhou: "Brother Qingzhou, Brother Ayuan and I will go first, and see you at the flowing water banquet tomorrow." ”

"Well, go ahead." Chen Qingzhou said lightly, after watching the two leave, he looked for Huang Jinrong's figure, and found that he was chatting with several other old friends in the hall, and it was estimated that he couldn't finish chatting for a while, so he planned to go back to the hotel room first.

Rong Yi, who was waiting outside the conference room, saw him come out one by one, and immediately stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Second master, Miss Ruan is looking for you." ”

"...... she?" Chen Qingzhou's eyebrows jumped, and he could see a little clue from Rong Yi's expression, "She's the only one?" ”

"Yes." Rong Yi glanced in a certain direction and said cautiously, "The small garden at the back said that I want to see you alone." I've been here for a while, and I know you're in a meeting, so after I'll give you a message, go to the little garden and wait. ”

Hearing this, without much thought, Chen Qingzhou immediately looked for it.

The small garden was as quiet as promised, a cluster of crimson peonies was scorching and blooming, and on the stone bench next to the peonies, Ruan Shu's silhouette was slender, and her skin was so fair that it made people feel fragile.

Her eyes didn't know where to look in the distance, and their eyes were frozen.

Chen Qingzhou stood and stared at her, but did not speak immediately.

After a few seconds, Ruan Shu turned his face unconsciously, and Chen Qingzhou greeted elegantly: "Miss Ruan." ”

"Mr. Chen." Ruan Shu stood up from the stone bench, his eyes clear.

Chen Qingzhou stepped forward and asked curiously: "I don't know what is the matter with Miss Ruan, you need to ask me to meet here alone?" ”

Thinking slightly, Ruan Shu's fingers curled up and took a deep breath: "I want to trouble Mr. Chen to do me a favor." ”

……

In the villa, Fu Lingyuan and Lu Shaocong sat down in the study together, and Zhao Shisan's phone came in.

Fu Lingyuan walked to the window and picked it up.

"Boss, is your meeting over?"

"What's wrong with your sister Ruan?" Fu Lingyuan asked directly-there was nothing else he gave him the task he gave him today, only Ruan Shu.

"No, no, Sister Ruan didn't have an accident. But Sister Ruan is a little strange. ”

"What's strange? Where is it strange? What has she done or who has she met? Explain it in detail one by one. Fu Lingyuan was annoyed by Zhao Shisan's grinding and chirping.

Sensing the extreme displeasure in his tone, Zhao Shisan no longer cared about logic and wording, and reported whatever he remembered: "Sister Ruan went to see Jiusi in the morning, and learned that Miss Xiangshang had called all the two doctors away, so she was very angry, so she went to the villa to find Miss Xiangshang to ask for someone. I happened to meet Secretary Meng, and at the invitation of Secretary Meng, Sister Ruan stayed for breakfast. I'm just waiting downstairs. ”

"About an hour or so, we left. On the way back, she suddenly held on to the tree on the side of the road and vomited for a while, and vomited very badly. I was worried about her condition and she said it was just an upset stomach. I sent Sister Ruan back to her room to rest. I wanted to report to the boss immediately, but I was afraid of delaying the boss's meeting. ”

"Upset stomach?" Fu Lingyuan frowned, "Did you find a doctor for her?" ”

"Nope. Sister Ruan didn't want to, she said it would be okay to rest for a while. ”

Hearing this, Fu Lingyuan's brows folded deeper and deeper, and he planned to continue to ask, but after a while, he hung up Zhao Shisan's phone first, and dialed Ruan Shu's number instead.

The phone is turned off.

With a deep light in his eyes, Fu Lingyuan called Zhao Shisan again: "She is in the room now?" ”

"Yes. Sister Ruan said she was going to sleep for a while. ”

Sleeping so shut down? Fu Lingyuan pondered: "Okay, I know." I'll be done in a moment and I'll go back. ”

"What's wrong? What happened to Sister-in-law? Lu Shaocong listened to a few words, concerned.

"Thirteen said she didn't seem to be feeling well."

"Oh? Not feeling well? That's big or small, call Dr. Shen to Sister Ruan to take a look. ”

Referring to Dr. Shen, Fu Lingyuan knocked on the side: "Secretary Meng has been doing for the past two days?" ”

"What could she be so bad about? I am raising the fetus every day. Saying that, Lu Shaocong inevitably complained: "Old Lu is really, but he has only been here for three days, so he has to bring Secretary Meng with him, he is seasick and has morning sickness, and he will die of tossing." ”

"Also, Secretary Meng eats chili peppers every day, although she and I don't eat together, but there is only one kitchen here, and the staff are the same batch, I feel that my food is mixed with the smell of chili peppers, and I have no appetite for eating."

Didn't inquire about any too useful information, Fu Lingyuan didn't ask any more, his mind turned to Ruan Shu was not feeling well until he had contact with Secretary Meng, and he unconsciously held his mobile phone on his lap, his eyes were deep.

After waiting for a while, Lu Zhenhua still didn't come back, and Fu Lingyuan spoke again: "Did my uncle tell you that he wanted to discuss something with us?" ”

"It seems that there are new clues to the matter of 200 million."

Fu Lingyuan's eyelids jumped suddenly: "Oh? New leads? What new leads? ”

"It's not clear, we have to wait for Lao Lu to come." Lu Shaocong shook Erlang's legs leisurely and expressed his opinion, "Actually, now that Sihaitang is already in Brother Yuan's hands, the 200 million is of little significance." Chen Qingzhou will give it to him if he wants, anyway, it won't have much effect. I don't understand why Lao Lu continues to investigate this matter. It was a morning meeting and I was hungry. ”

Before his words completely fell, Lu Zhenhua's henchman knocked on the door of the study and came in: "Master, Mr. Fu, Master Lu and several elders haven't finished talking yet, they want to have lunch together, let me take the talk, I want Master and Mr. Fu not to wait, why should I go first." He's got his time out, and he'll look for you again. ”

When Lu Shaocong heard this, he turned his head and teased Fu Lingyuan: "Now that Brother Ayuan is in your heart, you can go back to see Sister-in-law Yuan immediately." ”

Fu Lingyuan smiled, didn't linger long, and got up to say goodbye.

When he walked through the living room, he was confronted by Lan Qin, who was looking for Lu Shaocong.

Glancing at the two or three Heixi bodyguards on the corridor, Lan Qin greeted politely: "Mr. Fu." ”

"Hmm." Fu Lingyuan was extremely light and light, and her steps did not stop, passing straight past her.

Instead, Lan Qin smiled again and said more: "Trouble Mr. Fu to say hello to Miss Ruan for me." When I saw her at the door of the villa in the morning, her face was not very good. It seemed that she was still a little depressed, and when I greeted her, she didn't pay any attention to me. ”

His footsteps stagnated slightly, and a trace of coldness appeared between Fu Lingyuan's eyebrows.

Back at the hotel, at the door of the room, Zhao 13 was guarding.

"Boss."

Fu Lingyuan brushed the door and asked, "Are you Sister Ruan still sleeping?" ”

"Yes."

Fu Lingyuan entered the door lightly and went straight to the bedroom.

However, where can I see half a figure?

Looking around the other places in the room and confirming that there was no one, Fu Lingyuan came out with a cold face: "Who told you that she slept in it?" ”

"Sister Ruan isn't here?" Zhao Shisan was stunned again, in disbelief, "How could it not be?" Sister Ruan herself said that she was going to sleep. ”

Fu Lingyuan's expression was dignified: "After she entered the door, you have been staying outside and never left?" ”

The word "yes" came to his mouth, and Zhao Shisan suddenly remembered a certain incident, and his face changed abruptly: "I...... I...... Sister Ruan asked me to help her see Jiusi's situation, so I went to see it. But it took less than five minutes. ”

Thinking that Ruan Shu was most likely absent from this short period of time, Zhao Shisan couldn't help but stiffen his spine and sweat coldly.

But seeing Fu Lingyuan's eyes narrow, he asked coldly: "Jiusi has also been in her own room?" ”

These words made Zhao Shisan ask stupid again: "Jiusi is not in her own room, where can she be?" ”

The corners of his lips pursed out of Shen Su, Fu Lingyuan didn't answer his questions, grabbed his mobile phone and dialed Ruan Shu's number again - it was still turned off.

Without waiting for him to give an order, Zhao Shisan finally said lively: "I'll let the brothers find it immediately." ”

This listing celebration banquet went out one after another, first she was almost thrown into the sea, and then she was kidnapped by S. On the other hand, he has to keep an eye on Chen Qingzhou at all times. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Fu Lingyuan calmed down his thoughts and planned to go to the monitoring center.

A waiter dressed as a maid came at this time and asked timidly, "May I ask if it's Mr. Fu Lingyuanfu, right?" ”

"What's the matter with me?" Fu Lingyuan said in a deep voice.

"This is something that a guest asked me to pass on to you." The waitress lowered her head and trembled as she handed the contents out to him.

Finding out that it was the string of white chalcedony bracelets he gave to Ruan Shu, Fu Lingyuan immediately clasped the waitress's wrist: "Who gave it to you?" ”

The waitress trembled with fright, quickly raised her eyes to look at him, and quickly replanted her face, her voice trembling: "I, I don't know, I'm just doing that guest a favor, I don't know anything else." ”

Knowing that it was useless to ask again, Fu Lingyuan let go of her and opened the note with the chalcedony.

The note had a location written on it, which was a small garden in District Three.

With neat handwriting, Fu Lingyuan could identify whose hand it was from at a glance, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Boss, this ......" Zhao Shisan was confused.

"It's Chen Qingzhou." Fu Lingyuan's eyes were cold.

When he was on the cruise ship, he was sure that Chen Qingzhou had confirmed Ruan Shu's identity. After confirming his identity, Chen Qingzhou calmed down and did not move until the end of the authorization ceremony this morning. He knew he had something planned. Hibernate for three days, and now you're finally ready to do it?

Zhao Shisan had already been explained before, and Chen Qingzhou would definitely take action on the island this time, and his expression immediately changed when he heard the words: "Boss, I'll go and gather the brothers immediately!" ”

"Be quiet, don't alarm Master Lu and Master." Fu Lingyuan frowned and advised.

"Don't worry, boss, after the boss said that night that he wanted to keep an eye on Chen Qingzhou, the brothers have been nervous and on standby."

"The small garden in District 3, is the terrain familiar?" Fu Lingyuan asked.

"Cooked." Zhao Shisancheng was in his chest, "This time the brothers who came to the island have also been here before, every time they go back to the island, everyone seizes every opportunity to stumble around according to the boss's requirements, and we have visited most of the island, so we must be more familiar than Chen Qingzhou's people." ”

"The news from Li Qing is that Chen Qingzhou is very cautious this time, so he can't find the situation of Chen Qingzhou's transfer of manpower this time. In other words, we don't know how many Chen Qingzhou people there are on the island. Fu Lingyuan mentioned it again.

"Understood, Boss." Zhao Shisan nodded, and finally confirmed to him, "Boss, really don't inform the master?" Maybe you can take this opportunity to make Chen Qingzhou never get out of this island again. ”

The corner of his eyes glanced at him slightly, and the corner of Fu Lingyuan's mouth pulled lightly: "Where you shouldn't use your brain, your brain moves the fastest." ”

Zhao Shisan didn't understand whether this sentence was praising him or belittling him.

And Fu Lingyuan had already walked out: "From the hotel to the small garden, it can be reached in five minutes." ”

This means that everyone should be ready in five minutes. Zhao Shisan hurriedly followed, and at the same time called and contacted the personnel on call everywhere to quickly go to the destination.

……

As soon as you step into the entrance to the small garden, the wind blows the leaves and the air around you is faintly tight. Fu Lingyuan glanced around, his eyes were darker, and the corners of his lips were cold without a trace.

Zhao Shisan also glanced around, carrying five or six brothers, closely following Fu Lingyuan's side.

Not long after, under the thick trunk of the tree, Chen Qingzhou's figure came into view, and in addition to Rong Yi, there were five or six subordinates next to him, guarding the four corners, as if they were watching.

The area was quite empty, and there was no one hiding from the eye at a glance.

The peonies in the flower beds are in full bloom. Chen Qingzhou was standing in front of the flower garden with his hands on his back to look at the flowers, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head and greeted him lightly as usual: "Ling Yuan." ”

Fu Lingyuan stopped three steps away from him, and did not reply with a good tone: "I thought that you had waited for three days, and you had a new trick." As a result, the old methods of captivity are still used. ”

"I've been waiting for three days?" Chen Qingzhou's face was puzzled, "Why did I wait for three days?" What do I have to wait three days for? Ling Yuan, what you said puzzled me. ”

It's Tai Chi again. Fu Lingyuan pursed his lips, didn't answer, and gave Zhao 13 a look first.

Zhao Shisan understood, and together with the five or six brothers brought by the bright face, he searched all the bushes and flower beds within ten meters.

Chen Qingzhou watched all this with a smile in his eyes and did not stop it.

After a while, Zhao 13 returned to Fu Lingyuan's side and shook his head.

Seeing this, Fu Lingyuan breathed a sigh of relief - if she wasn't here, it would be easy for him to do things.

"Looking for Miss Ruan?" Chen Qingzhou smiled.

Fu Lingyuan didn't answer, his thin lips raised a slow light arc: "What is the purpose of coming to me?" ”

Chen Qingzhou paced to the stone bench and sat down: "I want to have a good chat with you." ”

Fu Lingyuan also walked over and sat down: "It's just right, I'm just waiting for when you will talk to me alone, and I have something to talk to you about." ”

Then he changed his words: "I hope this is just a conversation between the two of us, though." ”

Chen Qingzhou sneered: "I thought you were very confident in the relationship between you and Miss Ruan. ”

Fu Lingyuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

Chen Qingzhou understood what he meant: "Didn't you already let Thirteen check it just now?" It's not that you didn't find Miss Nguyen? ”

Fu Lingyuan stared at him, still not speaking.

Chen Qingzhou understood, took out the mobile phone on his body, put it on the table, and spread his hands: "I don't have any recording equipment on me." ”

According to his understanding, Fu Lingyuan believed his words - since he came, he could only gamble and choose to believe him, otherwise this conversation would not progress at all. And he learned from Lu Shaocong that Lu Zhenhua had got a new clue, and he was warning him not to delay it any longer.

Therefore, in fact, even if Chen Qingzhou didn't pierce the window paper to find him, he would also find Chen Qingzhou.

After the decision was made, Fu Lingyuan no longer hid from him, and went straight to the point, asking first: "Did you tell her?" ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled, a little sarcastic: "I thought that you were so patient with me because you were not afraid that she would know your background. ”

Fu Lingyuan clenched his fists and sneered: "After you confirmed her identity, you have been doing so much inaction with me, are you not ready to speak, or are you not confident in the words you have prepared?" ”

Chen Qingzhou restrained his smile.

The corners of Fu Lingyuan's mouth twitched: "Actually, you know very well that once you tell her her life experience, it will do more harm than good for you." At least she and I are husband and wife, and you just have the title of 'brother', and there is no affection between you and her, on the contrary, if she knows about her relationship with you, she will hate you even more. Because Chen Xi is sorry for Zhuang Peiyu and sorry for her. ”

"But if you don't tell her, you can't get close to her, you can't learn from her what you want to know. You also know that tough tactics don't work for her. ”

"The contradiction between saying and not saying is the reason why you always stay and don't speak."

Chen Qingzhou chuckled differently: "It turns out that you don't have confidence in the relationship between you and Miss Ruan, but you think that you have mastered my psychology." ”

"Not quite." Fu Lingyuan raised his lips and smiled, but his eyes were cold, "For example, I actually don't understand, why did you choose to kidnap her after the authorization ceremony ended?" ”

The timing couldn't have been right.

Along the way, Fu Lingyuan has been thinking about it, and only pondered one possibility - Chen Qingzhou can't get close to her, so he simply provokes her and his husband and wife relationship, so that he also has a dislike for her, and both losers.

This is the reason why he asked Zhao Shisan to check whether she was at the scene, and also to prevent Chen Qingzhou from making a recording or something like that.

Chen Qingzhou smiled and asked, "What is there not to understand?" ”

"It doesn't mean much, does it?" Fu Lingyuan's thin lips rolled slightly, "Sihaitang is already mine." You're late. And several steps late. ”

"Ling Yuan." Chen Qingzhou suddenly called him, "If it weren't for your obstruction, I wouldn't have been unable to find someone in circles for so long." I was late, and I lost in the fight for Sikaitang. But I'm not losing to you, I'm losing to Miss Ruan. ”

Fu Lingyuan's eyes changed slightly.

Chen Qingzhou looked at him straightly: "I lost because you deceived Miss Ruan's trust in you, and I lost because I couldn't use her feelings to achieve my goals like you." ”

"Don't step on me to flaunt you." Fu Lingyuan laughed, "You can't help it, not because you don't want to do that, but because you don't have that opportunity." If you're in the same situation as me, and you can hold both things in your hands, why do you have to give up one or the other? ”

Chen Qingzhou shook his head slightly: "You are wrong......

After saying these three words, he paused, and glanced at a weakened figure without a trace, his eyes moving slightly.

When he retracted his gaze, Chen Qingzhou did not continue to extend on this topic, but asked, "Didn't you originally plan to talk to me?" What to talk about? ”

Fu Lingyuan pursed his lips: "Agreement." ”

Chen Qingzhou was slightly puzzled: "What is the agreement?" ”
