Chapter 625: Passing the Message
Zhou Hu's attitude really made me feel unreal for a while.
Before I came, I almost thought about Zhou Hu's reaction, for example, Zhou Hu swore to death and did not agree, Zhou Hu sent people to surround us, etc., anyway, I expected, Zhou Hu would never easily agree to cooperate with me.
But now Zhou Hu's reaction was completely beyond my expectations, I didn't expect Zhou Hu to agree to cooperate with me so easily.
It's not right, and it can't be said to be easy, because he also said to think about it.
It makes sense for him to think about it, after all, as he said, it's too risky to work with me, and if I lose, he'll die with it.
In contrast, if he continues to follow Jiang Long, although he will still be squeezed by Jiang Long, at least he will be safe, and he will still be beautiful on the surface, he is still the boss of this Jiacheng.
"How long are you going to think about it?" I asked.
"Give me three days, and I'll give you an answer in three days." Zhou Hu thought for a while and said, "When the time comes, I will come to you and negotiate with you in person." ”
"No, three days is too variable, I'll give you two days at most, and within two days, you give me an answer." I said.
"It's okay, but I hope you will wait for me in Jiacheng for the next two days, and when I think about it, I need to discuss some specific details with you at that time." Zhou Hu said.
Although it is more risky to stay in Jiacheng, but I thought about it, two days did not have much impact, anyway, I have been keeping Gongcheng on standby, and if there is any wind in Jiacheng, they can immediately rush to Jiacheng within an hour.
Of course, for the sake of insurance, I still made a request: "I can promise you to stay in Jiacheng, but you have to keep a hostage in my hands, otherwise how will I know if you are lying to me now?" ”
"What, you still want hostages!?" Zhou Hu's face changed instantly, but in an instant, he regained his composure: "Hehe...... Yes, you have a point in thinking about it, I was excited just now, and in order to show my sincerity, you can also ask for hostages. ”
Zhou Hu thought for a while and said: "I haven't married a wife and had children yet, you know this, but I have a brother, who is my biological brother, and I can give him to you." ”
"Our brother has always had a good relationship, you can ask anyone about this, if my brother is in your hands, I will never dare to mess around."
I always felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Hu's reaction, but I couldn't say what the problem was.
"Okay, let your brother come over." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, Zhou Hu has shown such sincerity, although I think it's a little strange, but I can't find a fault.
You can't fall out with Zhou Hu just because you think it's strange.
If Zhou Hu is willing to cooperate with us, it will be much better for me than if I forcibly take Jiacheng.
So I still hope that Zhou Hu can cooperate with us.
Soon, Zhou Hu called his brother.
Zhou Hu's brother is a few years younger than Zhou Hu, and he looks like he is thirty, but unlike Zhou Hu, he doesn't have a bald head.
"Big brother, what's the matter with calling me?" Zhou Hu's brother is called Zhou Bao, and Zhou Bao wears a gold necklace around his neck, full of the atmosphere of an upstart.
"Ah Leopard, it's called Brother Xiao." Zhou Hu did not directly answer Zhou Bao's question, but pointed at me and introduced.
Zhou Bao was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at me: "Big brother, you're not mistaken, right?" Let me call this hairy boy? Zhou Bao said in disbelief.
"What nonsense, just call it!" Zhou Hu rewarded Zhou Leopard with a chestnut.
Zhou Bao suddenly became honest, it seems that the relationship between the two brothers is indeed very good.
Zhou Bao reluctantly said to me: "Brother Xiao." ”
I smiled: "Zhou Hu, don't be so polite to me, think about it, I'll take your brother away first." ”
When Zhou Bao heard my words, he was instantly stunned, and he looked at Zhou Hu with a confused expression: "Big brother, where is this kid going to take me?" ”
"When you call Brother Xiao, do you have a long memory or what's the matter?" Zhou Hu scolded: "You just follow Brother Xiao to stay outside for two days, and I will pick you up in two days." ”
"Oh, good." Zhou Bao nodded stupidly.
I don't even know that this kid was sold by his brother, and of course, I won't debunk this kind of thing.
After all, he was used as a hostage by his own brother, and if this kind of thing was known to Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao would feel uncomfortable.
If Zhou Hu didn't play tricks, I would be happy to help him hide it, but if I knew that Zhou Hu was playing tricks with me, he would be good-looking.
Of course, I believe that Zhou Hu should not mess around, after all, if he dares to hand Zhou Bao into my hands, it means that he will really consider my words seriously.
"Okay, Zhou Hu, I'll go first, I don't need you to contact me in two days, I will contact you, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer when the time comes." I said to Zhou Hu.
And Zhou Bao has always been confused, he didn't understand what was going on at all, so he was taken out by me.
"Hey...... You kid...... Oh no, Brother Xiao, what is your relationship with my eldest brother? "When Zhou Bao went out with me, he habitually wanted to call me a brat, but I was probably afraid of what his brother said, so he changed his name and called me Brother Xiao.
"Huh...... I was friends with him. I said.
I took Zhuang Wu, Xu Jie, and Liu Dahu to find a hotel to stay in, and Zhou Bao naturally followed.
This guy is now my hostage, although Zhou Hu agreed very happily, saying that he would think about it for two days, but who knows if it was his expedient measure?
In case this guy really plays yin with me, and the reaction just now is to numb my nerves, then I will be in danger.
So I had to guard against it.
But on the other hand, since Zhou Hu dared to hand over Zhou Bao to me as a hostage, I also hope that he will really consider it.
After finding a hotel, I had a small meeting with Zhuang Wu and a few people.
"Jiezi, Brother Wu, Big Tiger, what do you think of Zhou Hu's reaction?" I asked.
At that time, all three of them were present, and they all saw Zhou Hu's reaction, so I also wanted them to take a closer look.
Mainly, I always felt that things were too smooth and too simple today.
"Brother Xiao, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Xu Jie said.
"Tell me, there is something inconvenient for us brothers to say." I let him say whatever he wanted.
"Brother Xiao, I didn't mean to pour cold water on you, but I always felt that things were too simple today, and we had already prepared for the worst before we came, but in the end, Zhou Hu's reaction was completely different from what we thought, and even we were ready for the worst to defeat Jiacheng, but this Zhou Hu agreed too quickly." Xu Jie said with a frown.
"And Brother Xiao also said before, when you were in the provincial capital, there was still a little conflict with him, will this guy really not hold grudges at all?"
"Yes, Jiezi, to be honest, I'm just as worried as you are." I said worriedly: "Today's things are too smooth, but I don't have a bottom in my heart, but if you want to say where there is a problem, I can't say it specifically, Zhou Hu can't be willing to cooperate with us, and we still refuse Zhou Hu, right?" ”
"Brother Xiao, Brother Jie, I think you guys are thinking too much." Liu Dahu said at this time.
"What do you mean by that?" It's rare for Liu Dahu to have a different opinion from me and Jiezi, but I would like to hear what he thinks.
"Brother Xiao, you also said before that Zhou Hu is a mediocre waste and has no ambitions, this kind of person is short-sighted, likes money the most, and can only see the immediate benefits, so Brother Xiao, you promised him to give him the entire Jiacheng, he will definitely be moved." Liu Dahu analyzed: "What's more, since Zhou Hu has no talent, if he is really acting, can he perform at such a high level?" ”
I groaned and nodded, "Hmm...... Your analysis also makes sense. ”
"Brother Wu, what do you think?" I looked at Zhuang Wu, who had been silent.
"Don't ask me, I'm just in charge of fighting." Zhuang Wu spread his hands and said.
I pouted helplessly: "Okay, don't think about it, anyway, Zhou Hu has hostages in our hands, let the brothers be optimistic about Zhou Bao, no matter what Zhou Hu thinks, Zhou Bao is in our hands, I believe he doesn't dare to mess around, anyway, we will know the result in two days." ”
"Well, it's useless to think so much now, let's go and rest first." Xu Jie also nodded.
"Okay, let's disperse, you go and rest." Although I still felt a little uneasy in my heart, even if I continued to analyze, I couldn't analyze anything, so I asked Xu Jie and them to return to the room, and I stayed here alone.
At night, I lay in bed and didn't know what was going on, and I was so distraught that I couldn't sleep anyway.
Although I often have insomnia, I have never had insomnia like this.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning, not falling asleep until two o'clock in the morning, I always felt like something was going to happen.
I stood up and walked to the window to take a look, and it was calm outside, and there was no wind or grass.
"Damn, I'm evil tonight!" I couldn't help but scold: "What the hell is going on, why do I always feel so uneasy in my heart." ”
I was upset and fell back on my stomach, this time forcing myself to be asleep.
Finally, by 3 a.m., I was starting to feel sleepy.
But at this moment, my phone suddenly rang.
The ringing of the mobile phone woke me up, I was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep just now, but I was disturbed like this, and I was completely sleepy in an instant.
"Damn, who the still texted Lao Tzu in the middle of the night!" I was so angry that I almost smashed my phone.
After a night of suffering, I finally fell asleep, but I didn't expect to be woken up by my mobile phone again.
"Forget it, let's see what the text message is, I hope it's not a spam text message, otherwise I'm really going to smash my phone today."
I took out my phone, then opened it and looked at it, when I saw the content of the text message, I just felt that my breathing was going to stop, and at that moment, my hands and feet were cold!
The text message was sent by an unfamiliar number, and the content of the text message was only ten simple words: Liu Dahu is a traitor, return to Binjiang quickly!
