The first thing Liu Chuan did after coming out of the small hotel was to call Section Chief Jing. He had been turning off his mobile phone before, for fear that some acquaintance would call in and let Shan Chenggong hear and reveal his details.

Section Chief Jing has been unable to contact Liu Chuan for more than 20 hours, and he is already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. According to the plainclothes report in charge of squatting, Meiliwu was suddenly inspected by the local police last night and took away Sister Yun and a large group of "chickens and ducks", but Liu Chuan was never seen out, and there was no trace of Shan Chenggong. Section Chief Jing got in touch with the Beijing police overnight and learned that Liu Chuan had escaped over the wall with Shan Chenggong. Of course, those public security policemen have no way of knowing where they will go after they escape. Section Chief Jing was so anxious that he didn't close his eyes all night, and he called a certain place in the Beijing Municipal Bureau to assist them in their work to ask for support, and he said that if Liu Chuan's phone could not be reached by 12 o'clock at noon, it was estimated that something was wrong, and he hoped that the criminal police of the city bureau could take action and conduct a city-wide search.

Fortunately, Liu Chuan finally called in at almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, which made Section Chief Jing breathe a sigh of relief from the inside out, and this call showed that Liu Chuan was at least alive safely. And Liu Chuan's astonishing account of running wild at midnight yesterday made Section Chief Jing overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Liu Chuan not only completed the ingenious "encounter" with Shan Chenggong, but also played the role of a savior again very naturally, and thus won Shan Chenggong's trust, and even thought that he was a moth. Judging from the effect, although the raid of the nightclub by the public security police was purely accidental, the accident was crooked, and the scene seemed to be a well-planned show.

Section Chief Jing asked Liu Chuan to come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau Guest House immediately.

Liu Chuan stayed at the Municipal Public Security Bureau's guest house until 3 p.m., giving a detailed report on what happened last night and today. All the process, every detail. Section Chief Jing attaches great importance to Shan Chenggong's solemn promise, and is even ecstatic - Shan Chenggong said that he will definitely let Liu Chuan and his biological daughter live a life without worrying about food and clothing, which has exposed the details of the whereabouts of the huge amount of money that he must know 12 million yuan. It is also worth paying attention to: this case has brought out a new character, that is, the "old fan" in Qinshui City.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Chuan walked out of the small building of the Municipal Bureau Guest House and hurried to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw that his grandmother was still asleep and had not woken up, so he sat in front of the bed for a while, asked the aunt and the little nanny sent by the company to accompany his grandmother, and went to the doctor to understand the next treatment plan. The doctor in charge was a woman in her fifties, and she could hear her extreme dissatisfaction with Liu Chuan from her tone: Isn't the old lady just a relative like you now, she is so sick that you have to worry about it. The female doctor said: I know you young people can't stay here now, but the old lady has been in the hospital for several days, and you have only come to take pictures of you? We're a little overwhelmed by the people here. Even many patients asked us why none of the old lady's sons and grandsons came.

Liu Chuan lowered his head and listened, without explaining or making a sound.

As the current president of Wanhe Company, as the descendant of the Liu family who inherited the past and opened up the future of Wanhe's career, he had to rush to the company at this time to understand what had become of the company in this day and night, whether everything was in order, or the world was in chaos; Is it coming to life, or is it already hopelessly bad......

Entering the gate of Wanhe City, he found that everything was normal on the surface, and the restaurants, bars, saunas, fitness and other business places on the first to fourth floors were operating normally, but the faces of each oncoming employee seemed to have a little more strange expressions. When he arrived at the company headquarters on the top floor, he found that although it was time to leave work, the number of people who insisted on working was not less than usual, and there was a mountain of papers on his desk...... Seeing that he finally appeared, the financial manager, personnel manager, office director and other people came over with some documents to ask for instructions, all of which were things that could not wait. He had dealt with a few things, and his mind began to tingle, so he told them all to put their things down and let him see them. The managers retreated, and he immediately dialed Lawyer Wang's phone, and Lawyer Wang's tone on the phone was almost the same as that of the female doctor, which was also a complaint and accusation, and hated that iron could not become steel. He said, Liu Chuan, what have you been doing these days, you don't come to the scheduled time for the meeting, the court and the other party's creditors have put forward several handling plans and need you to express their position, but they can't find you. I heard that you had an argument with your girlfriend and you went to her, right? Liu Chuan: How many years of hard work has your father built such a company, how difficult it is for Wanhe Company to have today! Don't be reluctant to listen to me if I say something ugly, your father's bones are not cold now, and Wanhe Company should not be defeated so quickly. You are now an adult, the president of the company, and the backbone of the 2,000 people. Wanhe Company is now alive and dead, you have to stand up to save it, let it come back to life, live, ah!

Liu Chuan listened without saying a word, and when Lawyer Wang's bitter words came to an end, he said sullenly: "I'm in the company now." ”

Lawyer Wang said: "If you didn't come this morning, the meeting won't happen. I suggest that you still have to hold this meeting tomorrow morning, so that everyone can be sure of their hearts and do their jobs well. I'll be here tomorrow morning, and there are some suggestions from the court's side, and I need to discuss them with you, and there are some authorization documents that need to be signed by you, otherwise I really can't do some things. ”

Liu Chuan said: "Okay, I will definitely come tomorrow, and I will definitely hold the meeting." Uncle Wang, don't worry, my father's company, I will definitely run it well. ”

Lawyer Wang calmed down a bit, and the two made an appointment for tomorrow's meeting before hanging up the phone. After hanging up Lawyer Wang's phone, Liu Chuan immediately called the director of the general office and asked him to inform the heads of all units and departments to come to the company for a meeting tomorrow morning. The director took the order and left, Liu Chuan looked at the pile of documents on the table that he hadn't read, opened the top one, read two lines and suddenly remembered something, picked up the phone and dialed a number, he originally wanted to call the aunt in the hospital to ask if grandma was awake, but before dialing, he suddenly changed his mind, and somehow dialed Ji Wenzhu's mobile phone first.

He said, "Wenzhu. ”

On the other side of the phone, there was no sound for a long time.

He said again: "Wenzhu, I'm Liu Chuan." ”

Ji Wenzhu was silent for a few more seconds before asking, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He said, "You're still angry." ”

Ji Wenzhu said: "Why am I angry, I am not angry." ”

He said, "You're just angry." Can you tell me how you found out I worked at Beauty House Nightclub? ”

Ji Wenzhu said: "Why should I tell you? ”

Liu Chuan was also silent, and it took a long time before he said, "Because I love you." I love you so I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me. I want to know who is talking about me in front of you. ”

Ji Wenzhu was silent for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Aren't you quite rich, why do you have to go to that kind of place to do that kind of cheap job?" That's all you want, right? Is there something wrong with you psychologically? ”

Liu Chuan said: "Let's meet and talk, I will explain it to you clearly when we meet." Where are you now, are you free now? ”

Ji Wenzhu said: "I am not free now. ”

He said, "Then when you are free, I will go to you." ”

Ji Wenzhu said: "I filmed one day today, and I also had a scene at night. ”

"And what about tomorrow?"

Ji Wenzhu was cold for a long time, and finally responded: "Tomorrow, when is tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon, okay? Tomorrow afternoon, it will be any time. ”

Ji Wenzhu thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to the Aerospace Bridge to get the things I originally put there, you can pick me up at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, at half past three, go to the alley where I used to live at the Aerospace Bridge to pick me up." Then you take me to Lufthansa, our actor Boss Zhang has a birthday on the third of next month, and I want to buy him a birthday gift. Lufthansa mall sells Davidoff brand cigar lighters, about more than 1,000 yuan, I want to buy one, that boss Zhang loves to smoke cigars. ”

Liu Chuan immediately agreed: "Okay, at half past three in the afternoon, I will pick you up, see you or leave." ”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Chuan felt a lot more relaxed, and from the tone of Ji Wenzhu's last two sentences, she could hear that she had almost forgiven him. He thought that if he met tomorrow and told Ji Wenzhu the ins and outs of his trip to the beautiful house, she would definitely forgive him completely, not only completely forgive, but also surprised and appreciated, that's for sure! Anyway, Ji Wenzhu can't have anything to do with the people who robbed the bank, this task is not a secret to her, and it is okay to leak some secrets to her. It's just that how Ji Wenzhu came to the beautiful house to find him, no matter how Liu Chuan analyzed, he couldn't figure out the clues.

In fact, this layer of window paper is: Liu Chuan didn't know that before Ji Wenzhu looked for him, Xiao Ke had already come to the beautiful house. If he knew, he would definitely be able to conclude soon, and the only one who could poke this thing out was Xiao Ke. Once Xiao Ke described this incident as a strange story among his colleagues in the Heavenly Prison, would Pang Jiandong not know? Once Pang Jiandong knows about this kind of thing, will he suppress it and not tell Ji Wenzhu?

Fortunately, Ji Wenzhu still asked Liu Chuan to drive to the space bridge to pick her up, indicating that although everything has happened, everything will pass, no matter what the process is, the ending will not be too bad. It was with such a relaxed mood that Liu Chuan dialed the phone number of the aunt next to his grandmother. The aunt told him that his grandmother was awake and conscious, and asked him if he had come. The aunt also said: Tomorrow the hospital has invited a few experts to come for consultation, and the doctor asked me to ask if you can come tomorrow. Liu Chuan said of course come, I will come as soon as I have a meeting in the company tomorrow morning, what time is it, or will I come now? The aunt said that it was too late now, and the hospital had stopped letting people in. So Liu Chuan asked his aunt to hand over the phone to his grandmother, and he chatted with his grandmother on the phone for a while. Grandma always thought that he was dealing with the company's crisis these days, so she was very understanding of him not coming over often. She told Liu Chuan, the company is big, the career is important, if you are too busy, you don't have to come, anyway, I feel good now, and I will probably be discharged from the hospital soon.

Before the call with his grandmother ended, Liu Chuan's mobile phone kept coming in with new calls, ticking and ringing. When I hung up my grandmother's phone, I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Section Chief Jing's number. Liu Chuan hesitated for a few seconds, but still called, as he expected, Section Chief Jing really had something to do with him. He asked Liu Chuan to go over immediately, and he didn't say why. When Liu Chuan broke up with Section Chief Jing in the afternoon, Section Chief Jing repeatedly told him to turn on his mobile phone so that they could find him at any time. What's more, Liu Chuan had already thought that they would send him to Fengtai again tonight and return to the small hotel where Shan Chenggong was hiding, maybe they would take measures against Shan Chenggong tonight.

Things are actually more troublesome than Liu Chuan expected, this night Section Chief Jing and a few of his men in plainclothes have been anxiously waiting for Liu Chuan, Liu Chuan rushed to the guest house of the city bureau where they lived, each of them immediately put a relieved smile on their faces, and immediately assigned tasks to Liu Chuan - everything has been asked for instructions, the plan has been roughly formed, this plan not only requires Liu Chuan to return to Shan Chenggong's side tonight, but also, early tomorrow morning, must be entrusted by Shan Chenggong, by train to Qinshui, thousands of miles away.

Before assigning the task, Section Chief Jing and his subordinates in plainclothes pulled Liu Chuan out of the house and got into the car. Because the time was already nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Chuan said in his noon report that he had promised that he would go back later today. Section Chief Jing has been complaining since Liu Chuan arrived, saying that Liu Chuan's mobile phone has been busy since 7 o'clock in the evening.

They drove him in the direction of Fengtai. took advantage of the time on the road to begin to explain everything to Liu Chuan, telling him what to say after seeing Shan Chenggong, and the schedule of the train to leave tomorrow morning. and handed over a sleeper ticket for the 228th train to Qinshui to Liu Chuan, and gave him 1,500 yuan as a mission fund. He was also given a bag of apples and a bag of instant noodles. Section Chief Jing said Liu Chuan, we know that you are very rich, but the public is public and private, and you can take this money well. You take 1,000 yuan to Qinshui for use, the apples are for you to eat on the road, and 500 yuan you leave for Shan Chenggong. Instant noodles were also left for Shan Chenggong, and he said that he bought them specifically for him.

As soon as Section Chief Jing said that he was going to Qinshui, Liu Chuan's mind fell into confusion, and from their expressions and movements, Liu Chuan could see that the matter was urgent, everything was settled, and there was no room for negotiation...... Along the way, they kept chattering and explaining the precautions to him, and Liu Chuan was ignorant, and when Section Chief Jing handed over the money, he even asked stupidly: "When did you succeed in catching the order, is it enough for him to leave him 500 yuan?" Section Chief Jing didn't answer positively, but said: Just keep so much, if you keep too much, he will suspect that you are so rich why you are still going to be a duck. Liu Chuan heard this quite unpleasantly, and couldn't help but raise his head and roll his eyes at Section Chief Jing, but Section Chief Jing's face was transactional and serious, and there was no ridicule on his expression. Liu Chuan suddenly came to his senses at this time, and remembered that he had made an appointment with the company for a meeting tomorrow morning, a consultation with his grandmother at noon, and an appointment with Ji Wenzhu in the afternoon, and he would not be able to leave tomorrow no matter what. So he also used a serious expression to make a statement to Section Chief Jing about his grandmother's illness and the imminent bankruptcy of his company, and euphemistically but resolutely said that he would indeed have difficulties going to Qinshui tomorrow. Section Chief Jing said unexpectedly: Yo, your grandmother is hospitalized, does it matter? Liu Chuan said that he had been staying for three days, of course it mattered. Section Chief Jing asked which hospital, let's take a look tomorrow. We can also go to the court and ask them to deal with it in accordance with the law. Liu Chuan also saw it, it's useless to talk to them now, everything is ready to fly, and it has to be sent! Unless he shouts to stop right now and then turns his face with these cops.

The car drove to Fengtai, near the small hotel, and they let him down and let him walk into the alley on his own. Liu Chuan had just moved, and before he could turn back, the van started to move, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Liu Chuan had no choice but to walk into the alley step by step, and halfway through, he took out his mobile phone and called Lao Zhong's house.

Lao Zhong happened to be at home, Liu Chuan told him about his situation, and hoped that Lao Zhong would talk to Section Chief Jing on behalf of the organization, and hoped that they would take into account his family's situation and not let him participate in this case that he didn't know when it would be over. Lao Zhong thought about it on the phone for a while and said: Your grandmother, we can organize people to take turns to take care of you, you can rest assured. I'm afraid your company won't collapse just because you've been gone for a few days. Liu Chuan said why not, now is a critical period, if our company really collapses, they will not be managed by the Dongzhao Public Security Bureau, and if our company is going to collapse, they will not be able to save me even if they recover the more than 10 million yuan!

There was no one in the alley, Liu Chuan walked as he spoke, and saw the light at the door of the hotel from a distance, so he suppressed his excited voice, and had to hurriedly end the unfinished complaints. Because Section Chief Jing told him that they had asked the criminal investigation department of the Beijing Municipal Bureau to send someone to set up surveillance for Shan Chenggong this afternoon, and found that after Liu Chuan left the hotel at noon, he walked out of the hotel without knowing when he forced his injured leg, and observed in a corner opposite the mouth of the alley that he returned to the room in the evening. The situation reflected by the outside line of the city bureau shows that although Shan Chenggong accepted Liu Chuan as his son, he still had doubts, for fear that Liu Chuan would go out, turn around and bring the police back, and keep him here. So he limped out of the door, wandered the streets, and observed no movement for several hours, before he calmed down and went back to rest.

The hotel was in front, and Liu Chuan turned off the phone according to Section Chief Jing's repeated instructions. He was bored, walked into the hotel, and walked into the room where Shan Chenggong was staying. Shan Chenggong was leaning on the bed watching TV, waiting for him like that. Liu Chuan saw that Shan Chenggong looked at him, he didn't know whether it was question or anxiety, and the deliberate smile on his face made Liu Chuan's heart tense for a while, and his face was unnatural. Shan Chenggong's tone pretended to be relaxed, and he looked at Liu Chuan and asked lightly:

"Nothing happened, why did you come back so late?"

Early in the morning, at six o'clock, Liu Chuan and Shan Chenggong got up together, and when Liu Chuan was packing his bags, Shan Chenggong made a bowl of instant noodles for Liu Chuan and peeled an apple for him. Liu Chuan asked him why he didn't eat, and he said I'm not hungry, you can eat. Liu Chuan silently ate instant noodles and apples, and after eating, he carried a backpack on his shoulder, stood at the door, and when he turned to say goodbye, Shan Chenggong came up and hugged him.

Liu Chuan also hugged Shan Chenggong, and he could feel Shan Chenggong's chaotic heartbeat and a faint whimper in his chest.

As soon as the clock on the clock tower of Beijing West Railway Station pointed to seven o'clock, the large and small cylinders in the square in front of the station were crowded. In addition to Section Chief Jing and his scouts who came to the station to see Liu Chuan off, Section Elder Zhong of the Tianhe Prison Repatriation Section also came unexpectedly. They stood under the bell tower agreed in advance against the wind, watching Liu Chuan get out of the taxi and cross the street. The windswept black hair on their heads and the dignified ** on their faces made Liu Chuan suddenly moved for a moment.

They watched Liu Chuan approach and shook hands with him silently, and Section Chief Jing didn't say much, just briefly told him the location of the platform, and told him that he would be in another carriage and go to Qinshui with him. It was Liu Chuan's section elder Zhong who really made the temporary entrustment with Liu Chuan, and he said in a low voice: Liu Chuan, we will try our best to help you deal with your family's affairs, and we can't delay the country's affairs. You used to be a student at the OUHK University, and now you are a prison officer, and I am here today to represent the prison leaders and the organization, and ask you to stand on the last shift and fight the last battle.

Although Lao Zhong's words were preachy and clichΓ©d, his tone was kind and sincere, and his half-hoarse voice seemed to have a natural piercing force, which slowly ignited the hot blood in Liu Chuan's chest. After all, Liu Chuan was young, and he couldn't stand a few impassioned words of encouragement, and he couldn't say the grumbling and dissatisfaction that he held back yesterday. He shook Lao Zhong's broad and warm palm, and his speechless gaze swept over each of their faces. He didn't know whether he should repeat his practical difficulties at this time, or simply make a few bold remarks, thinking about whether it was difficult or heroic without discussion, the scene was probably unnatural. So he said nothing more, left them without saying a word, and walked alone to the station building, to the entrance of the building. He knew that their eyes would follow his back all the time, all the while watching him disappear in the crowd.

At eight o'clock in the morning, when the train left Beijing, leaving the city's high-rise buildings out of the sky, Liu Chuan saw a vast field. The field made his senses immediately detached from the city, from yesterday. Yesterday was like a world away. His mind gradually became clearer, and he remembered again what he had planned for today, everything he had to do today. According to the plan, he should walk into the door of Wanhe Company at this time, and the managers of various departments and subordinate units of the company have been sitting in the conference room and waiting, waiting for the new generation of heads of Wanhe Company to calm their morale and issue orders; After the meeting, he had to sign a series of documents brought by Mr. Wang, authorizing Mr. Wang to immediately deal with those legal disputes that were already urgent. Then he will rush to the hospital, to his grandmother's bed, to the doctor's office, to listen to the consultation on behalf of the relatives. He hoped to accompany his grandmother in the hospital for at least three hours, and then before half past three in the afternoon, he rushed to the alley of the Sky Bridge to pick up Ji Wenzhu, and then explained everything to her, and then the two got back together. Then he drove her to the Lufthansa Mall to buy a Davidoff lighter for the producer who was celebrating his birthday. Liu Chuan originally thought that when his grandmother recovered, when the company turned the danger into a disaster, and when everything became a thing of the past, he would also be a producer, invest in helping Ji Wenzhu shoot a TV series, let Ji Wenzhu be the starring role, and invite the most popular students such as Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Tong Dawei and her partner, so that Ji Wenzhu would be like them, become famous overnight and soar into the sky.

The train had obviously already left the border of Beijing, and the sound of the flute in his ears and the wilderness in his eyes all told Liu Chuan that no one would know that he was alone at this moment, sitting in front of a window of the westbound train, and began a rugged and unpredictable expedition.

After the train left Bailidi, his mood was a little settled, it is estimated that Wang lawyer Ji Wenzhu has already gotten up, or has woken up, he looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window, and began to call to cancel all today's agreements. He made four phone calls – the company, lawyer Wang, the hospital, and Ji Wenzhu – explaining to them that he had urgent business to go out for a few days and would soon return to Beijing. He couldn't explain in detail on the phone, so he could hear that everyone was very surprised by his farewell, and they were very helpless and dissatisfied with his repeated failures......

In the evening of the next day, at 6:30 p.m., the 228th train entered the rainy Qinshui Station on time.

The first thing Liu Chuan did when he walked out of the station was to buy a folding umbrella in the noisy night market opposite the station. He held up this little black umbrella, and staggered to the edge of the city in the crowd of people, in the drizzle, in the muddy and dirty streets.

After walking through two short alleys, he got on a three-wheeled motorcycle that carried people, and after a long time of bumping and bumping, he finally found the address that Shan Chenggong gave him. It was a remote street half city and half countryside, with a row of low houses scattered together, and at the end of the street was abruptly closed by a huge iron gate, the courtyard closed by the iron gate was silent, and the mottled paint on the door made people faintly curious.

As soon as Liu Chuan saw this huge iron door, he made one last phone call with Section Chief Jing as agreed, and said in code that he had found a place. Section Chief Jing also replied in code, telling him that two plainclothes people were following him. Liu Chuan looked back, there were few people in the entire small street, and there was no trace of the public security plainclothes, and he didn't know which corner of the door they were hiding in at this time.

He turned off the power on his phone as he had requested, and then walked towards the iron door. Carrying the dim yellow street lamp behind him, Liu Chuan could see his blurred figure, which was posted crookedly in the middle of the iron gate. The figure raised a long arm, and the iron door made a rough, broken sound.

Liu Chuan knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered in the hospital.

He left the iron gate and walked to a nearby shop, and asked if the owner of the courtyard in front of him was surnamed Fan. The shopkeeper muffled and just nodded. Liu Chuan asked again, is there no one in his house? The shopkeeper shook his head again and again to indicate that he did not know.

Liu Chuan had no choice but to walk out of the shop and stand on the side of the deserted road after the rain, his eyes penetrating the entire shabby street, except for a few simple doors and windows leaking sporadic lights, the whole small street was dim.

Liu Chuan used his mobile phone to call the hotel in Fengtai, Beijing, and the call reached Shan Chenggong's room. Shan Chenggong was standing in front of the telephone, and from the time, he could infer that Liu Chuan had arrived in Qinshui, and there should be news at this time. Liu Chuan told Shan Chenggong on the phone that he had found Lao Fan's residence, but Lao Fan was not there and there was no one at home. He asked Shan Chenggong if Lao Fan had any other places to live, would he not be in Qinshui at all in this paragraph? Shan Chenggong said that you should go to the "Big Rich" to find him, there are many restaurants and bars on the "Big Rich" side, and that area is Lao Fan's territory.

Where is the territory of Lao Fan?

Shan Chenggong initially told Liu Chuan about Lao Fan, only saying that he was a coal kiln owner. Qinshui is a coal city, in recent years, the national mines have been declining, private mines are unscrupulous, and small coal kilns contracted by a few people and more than a dozen people are blooming everywhere. But from Shan Chenggong's later words, Liu Chuan gradually understood that Lao Fan was in Qinshui, in the south of Qinshui, and he was a "boss"! Many of the song halls, bars and nightclubs in that area pay protection money to Lao Fan. Among them, this nightclub called "Big Rich" let Lao Fan Qiang buy and sell because he couldn't pay the protection fee.

It is much easier to inquire about the address of the "big tycoon" than to inquire about the residence of Lao Fan. As Liu Chuan expected, the "Big Rich" is not too far from the big iron gate, but it is separated by two streets. To Liu Chuan's surprise, the nightclub called "Big Rich" would be so dilapidated that it didn't live up to its name. Although its scale is not too small, in addition to the private room, there are more than 30 tables in the hall alone, but the decoration and furnishings inside and outside are the same as in this city, so simple that they are not related to the word rich.

Although the nightclub is as simple as a cow, the cow is still full of "flowers", Liu Chuan can feel it as soon as he enters, in those ambiguously lit corners, flashing countless greedy eyes, the young lady who attracts bees and butterflies here is dressed more revealing than her counterparts in big cities, and her face is even more exaggerated. Maybe because there are few meat and wolves here, and business is not very good, so as soon as Liu Chuan sat down, four or five young ladies came up to make love with him, and it can be seen through the thick fat powder that some of them are almost underage, and some are. Liu Chuan was too lazy to entangle with them, so he generously asked for a drink for each of them, and then opened his mouth to inquire about Lao Fan's whereabouts.

Lao Fan's name is Fan Bencai, and he can't tell anyone about the ins and outs of this Fan Bencai, who can't tell anyone if you ask me and I ask her, so I called the waiter on the side to ask, and I was also at a loss. Liu Chuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, since Fan Bencai is the boss of this area, how could these women who are in the leather and meat business know nothing?

The ladies quickly finished their drinks, and each of them called the waiter to add another glass, and the waiter served them a fruit bowl on his own in addition to the drink. Liu Chuan couldn't ask Lao Fan, and he was bored sitting there, so he called the waiter to come and settle the bill. The waiter didn't take the bill, only took a handwritten receipt, and when he came over and touched his lips, he actually scared Liu Chuan.

"Eight thousand three."

"Eight thousand three?" Liu Chuan said, "Are you mistaken? ”

"That's right, it's eight thousand three." The waiter calmly showed him the small ticket, the numbers on it were dancing dragons and phoenixes, Liu Chuan only saw the price of the fruit plate in a hurry, and the fruit plate that was not delivered by himself actually cost 4,000 yuan, which is also the most eye-catching number in the small ticket. Liu Chuan hadn't seen the price of other drinks clearly, and there were already four or five strong men around him, one of whom patted Liu Chuan's shoulder, and asked with a cold face:

"Ahem, this friend, do you want to pay the bill?"

Liu Chuan said: "I don't want to repay the debt, his bill is wrong, I want to ...... a pair"

The man didn't allow Liu Chuan to finish speaking, so he asked the waiter: "How much?" Eight thousand three? He took the ticket and slapped it on Liu Chuan's hand: "Where is the price written, it's very clear!" You see it, hurry up and pay the money, don't be verbose! ”

This posture made Liu Chuan see clearly, this is a black shop that kills people. In such a place, all objections to the price are doomed to be null and void, and all disputes become unnecessary. He thought for a few seconds and then sat down again, and said to the waiter with a straight face: "Call your manager over, you tell your manager, I am a friend of Fan Bencai, and I came here to find him!" Fan Bencai, do you know each other? ”

The waiter didn't know what to answer, and turned his face to look at the strong man at the head. The strong man was stunned for a moment, his voice decreased slightly, and he asked Liu Chuan: "Who are you Boss Fan?" ”

Liu Chuan said: "Friend! ”

"Friends?" The strong man looked at Liu Chuan's appearance, judging from the appearance, Liu Chuan had just grown up, and his eyebrows were childish, and the strong man obviously asked in disbelief: "How did you meet Boss Fan?" ”

"You don't care how I met," Liu Chuan said, "it was Boss Fan who asked me to come here to find him." You call Boss Fan, he tells me to pay how much money, I pay! ”

The strong man raised his head and ordered a skinny elf guy: "Little worm, you go and call Xiaokang, he is playing cards in the back." ”

The thin man named Xiao Worm left in response, and the strong man also led people away, allowing Liu Chuan to sit alone. The ladies also hid away, looking at him from afar, and talking to each other.

It didn't take long for the strong men to come back, this time they were surrounded by a tall and burly cold-faced young man, who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a mighty appearance and a murderous face, walked up and down in front of Liu Chuan, his eyes swept up and down, and he looked very politely.

The strong man behind him said, "That's him." ”

The young man glanced at Liu Chuan coldly, and after just one glance, he turned around, and lightly spit out two words in his mouth: "Liar." These two words were like an order, and Liu Chuan was immediately surrounded by strong men and pulled up from the chair with his collar.

The strong man asked in a vicious voice: "Do you pay the money?" If you don't have any money, I'll go with you to get it. Where did you come from, you dare to find so many young ladies to accompany you without money! ”

Liu Chuan just shouted: "Let go!" He was punched heavily in the face, and the punch was very positive, so that Liu Chuan stumbled on his back, sat on the ground, and before he could struggle to get up, he was grabbed by the collar again, dragged off the ground, and talked about it from front to back, left and right, and couldn't tell how many voices were shouting and asking:

"Paid, huh?"

This time, Liu Chuan didn't wait for them to make a second shot, it seemed that he just relied on instinctive impulse, and without thinking about any consequences, he punched out and hit the opposite side. Liu Chuan doesn't look strong, but he is a little dry, and he has practiced fighting at the OUHK, and he is also the best bench for the OUHK basketball team, and the punch was unexpected, the opponent was beaten to the point of physical imbalance, and he hit a table behind him, and the cups and candles on the table fell over in an instant, and the ground immediately shattered.

The surrounding thugs all swarmed up, punching and kicking. Liu Chuan kicked the table and picked up the chair again, although the disparity in strength was huge, but he also fought on his back for a while, and finally because he was outnumbered, he was pressed to the ground by an unknown number of hands. The moment he was pressed down, he couldn't tell if there was fear in his heart, maybe because he always felt that Section Chief Jing and they must not be far away, he never thought that he would die in this strange city.

But when he was pulled up from the ground, he realized that he might have misjudged the situation, and Section Chief Jing never appeared. When he was hit in the chest, abdomen and even in the head with a series of heavy punches, no one rescued him. The person who beat him was first the strong man he beaten, and then replaced by the young man named Xiaokang, whose body was not stronger than that of the strong man, but his attack was more ferocious. Liu Chuan's two arms were framed, and after struggling for a while, his strength was exhausted, he could feel his numb face begin to get wet, he saw Xiaokang and immediately wiped his hands with a tissue on the table, from the tissue, he knew that he was bleeding all over his face, and the blood on the tissue finally made Liu Chuan's long-overdue fear suddenly surface.

Xiaokang wiped his hands and scolded in a low voice: "Damn! Then he threw a sentence: "Ask him for money!" Then he pulled a girl who had been watching the battle from the sidelines and walked out. Liu Chuan's eyes were blurry, but he saw the girl. Obviously, she is not a bar lady, and you can tell the difference by the way she dresses and looks. The girl walked a few steps to the door with Xiaokang, suddenly shook off Xiaokang and turned back, and said to the strong man who was still enjoying his fists:

"Stop fighting, let him go."

Liu Chuan didn't expect the strong man to stop immediately, and looked at Xiaokang with a gaze of inquiry. It seemed that Xiaokang was happy to please the girl, and immediately ordered: "Let it go." Several hands that grabbed Liu Chuan were released at the same time, Liu Chuan lost his support, and sat down on the ground with his legs weak.

The girl walked up to Liu Chuan and asked him, "Where are you from?" ”

Liu Chuan's mouth was full of blood, and his voice was slurred: "...... Beijing. ”

The girl asked, "Beijing?" What are you doing here? ”

Liu Chuan: "I'm looking for my friend." ”

"Looking for your girlfriend?"

"No, boyfriend."

The strong man next to him said for him: "He said that Boss Fan is his friend." ”

This sentence made everyone around laugh. Perhaps, in the eyes of these people, with Liu Chuan's appearance and age, it is indeed a bit funny to call each other friends with Boss Fan.

The girl looked around at the crowd: "Then take him and see if it's true." ”

Everyone laughed again, and after laughing, they heard the girl's serious tone, so the guy called the little worm walked up, stiffly helped Liu Chuan, and said, "Go, I'll take you there!" Liu Chuan let him take two steps, and then turned around and took the backpack he threw on the ground during the fight, the backpack had been searched when he was beaten, and the money in it must have been looted.

The little worm pulled Liu Chuan out of the door, didn't take two steps, pushed it with his hand, and said, "Get out!" In the future, remember that when you go out, you will inquire about the dock first, so as to save yourself trouble, do you hear! ”

Liu Chuan was pushed on his heels, got up with his mouth full of congealed blood, and staggered forward. He picked up the phone around his neck, and the cover of the phone flew to nowhere during the fight. He dialed Section Chief Jing's number by luck, and found that the phone had not been turned on halfway through. He pressed the switch hard, and the screen was still black for a long time. He slammed his mobile phone on the wall on the side of the street, and cursed a dirty word in his mouth at the same time, unable to tell whether to scold the mobile phone or the gangs of thugs, or to scold Section Chief Jing, who never saw anyone.

When Liu Chuan came out of the house the morning before yesterday, he stuffed 3,000 yuan in his backpack, and he had just been searched by the gangs of thugs. He touched his trouser pocket, his mood was a little settled, the money given by Section Chief Jing last night was still in his trouser pocket. With his staggering steps, Liu Chuan's chest and two ribs were in severe pain, and his lips could be felt swollen high. Walking out of the street and turning another corner, he saw a small inn across the road, and he could open a single room for fifty yuan. The innkeeper looked at the blood on his face in amazement, at his torn shirt and at the bruises on his neck, and opened the room to him without daring to ask. He washed his face in the water room shared by the hostel, and the cold water irritated his entire face to the core. He remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, but there was no hunger in his stomach. He walked from the water room to the counter of the hostel, and dialed the mobile phone of Section Chief Jing with the phone on the counter, the mobile phone of Section Chief Jing was not a local number, and the phone at the counter could not be connected to the long distance, and asked the salesman where he could make a long-distance call, and the salesman said that there was no nearby, and the nearest post office was three kilometers away, but now I am afraid that it has long been closed. At this time, every bone joint in Liu Chuan's body was sore and unbearable, he staggered back to the room step by step, fell on the bed and never wanted to move again, probably less than a minute later, he unconsciously sank into a dark dream.

It was still dark when he woke up, but there was already some early morning mist on the window, and he knew he was awake but his whole body was still suppressed by the nightmare, and he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried. In a trance, he saw a tall and broad figure, gloomy and gloomy, standing at the head of the bed, he concluded that it was not a dream but did not dare to conclude, he struggled for a long time and felt his throat begin to squirm, he heard his own small and frightened cry with difficulty:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who? ”

The voice of the black shadow was also a little hazy, but Liu Chuan's hearing had gradually awakened, and he heard the hazy voice slowly responding, with even a trace of impassive coldness in the calm:

"Are you looking for me?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who are you? ”

"My surname is Fan!"
