Chapter 32: Release
When the agreed three days were up, Chief Sun seemed to be deliberately hanging Master Zhou.
Master Zhou waited in the gatehouse for nearly two hours early in the morning. It was close to noon that Chief Sun sent an adjutant to pass the old man to the office to meet him.
"Master Zhou, I'm sorry. You see that I have a lot of things, and I almost forgot about it, if it wasn't for the adjutant's reminder to remember, I'll treat you slowly, please bear with me, sit down. Chief Sun smiled and asked his subordinates to look at the tea.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
"Alas, you know that recently in order to find out about the death of Zhang Tongyi, I am also very embarrassed to give him an explanation. You see, the killer hasn't been caught so far, and I can't deal with it after the peak blames it, it's really frustrating. As soon as Chief Sun opened his mouth, he deliberately said the difficulties in his head, and waited for Master Zhou to speak.
"Chief Sun, I know that if you have difficulties, just open your mouth, and Zhou will not hesitate to go to the soup."
"It's easy to say, your attitude is much better than before, isn't it."
"Today I have prepared a feast at home for you to confess your sins, and I beg you to appreciate it."
"This ......," Chief Sun pretended to be embarrassed and refused, "this is not good. ”
"In the past, all kinds of things were not sensible to the juniors of our Zhou family, and it was also my lack of strict discipline as a parent, and I couldn't get along with you several times, and I didn't feel good in my heart, so I just ask you to appreciate your face today. This is the supreme glory of my Zhou family. Master Zhou sighed in a low voice, and respectfully invited Chief Sun again.
"You're too polite, how do you say that? Now that the words have come to this, it seems unreasonable for me not to appreciate my face anymore, so you lead the way, and I will go this way. ”
When Master Zhou heard this, he hurriedly nodded his head, bowed and opened the way, and Chief Sun followed with his adjutant, shaking his head three times in one step.
When he arrived at the car, Master Zhou didn't wait for the adjutant to open the door for Chief Sun, but took the first step to open the car door for him and invited him in.
Chief Sun sat in the car, feeling very comfortable. The Zhou family has long been so knowledgeable, and this Zhou Muqing will not suffer from this stubble, and secretly sighs that Li Shaowen will come to the businessmen in Jiangcheng, and he doesn't need to mention more, he can take care of what he thinks, be anxious about what he is anxious about, and properly paste it without losing proportion.
The two cars drove into the Zhou Mansion one after the other.
The eldest lady, Yuehua and his wife took the servants out to greet them.
"Well, Master Zhou, you're bothered." Chief Sun got out of the car and saw such a battle, and a red carpet was rolled out into the living room.
The Zhou family followed Chief Sun and the two into the door, as if Chief Sun was the master of the Zhou Mansion.
"Master, it's arranged." Steward Zhou said yes and hurriedly went to the dining room to decorate.
"Two chiefs, please." The old man raised his hand in a gesture.
Chief Sun sat down unceremoniously and directly on the main seat, watched everyone sit down, and took the initiative to raise a glass and said, "Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, a toast to our future." ”
The old man drank it all directly.
"Sir Sun, today's banquet is to apologize to you, I toast you, for the sake of the unpleasant things with your nephew before, say that I have offended." Yue Hua stood up and raised her glass respectfully.
"Oh. You are the boss of the Zhou family. Chief Sun squinted his eyes slightly, "It is indeed a dignified appearance, no wonder beauties love heroes." ”
"How dare you praise this. Please fill this cup to express my apologies. Yuehua drank it all and raised her glass again.
"Well, that's easy to say." Chief Sun took a sip.
Yuehua drank a full cup again.
"Chief Sun, the matter of Xiaoer Muqing. I don't know ......," Master Zhou tried to mention.
"Don't be busy, don't be busy, eat to your heart's content first, and then talk about things." Chief Sun waved his hand.
The old man had to swallow his words.
For a while, the dishes were ready, and everyone accompanied Chief Sun to move the chopsticks first, but he didn't eat, held the chopsticks, lit the roast duck and said: "Well, this color and fragrance is like the taste of the roast duck I ate in Nanjing, not bad." Then he tasted the dishes such as braised lion's head and steamed sea bass.
Phoenix stood in the team of servants, and she knew that Mu Qing's future was all in the hands of the person in front of her. Her strength is meager, and only by serving carefully can she contribute to the second young master.
The Zhou family smiled and echoed Chief Sun, and it was easy to wait for him to finish the meal.
"The taste is good, the chef invited is good, and the cooking is authentic."
"If only you were satisfied." Master Zhou said.
The dishes were withdrawn, Baba waited for Chief Sun to taste tea slowly, and Master Zhou was a little anxious: "Sir, the dog Zhou Muqing is indeed young and ignorant and has no intention of offending, can you raise your noble hand, I dare to guarantee that he will not be stupid again." ”
"Zhou Muqing...... He's a daring thinker, I'm afraid he's not like the rest of you. Chief Sun laughed dryly.
"We can guarantee it." Yuehua hurriedly said, "You can rest assured." ”
"Chief Sun can mention as much as he wants, as long as I, Zhou Shixiong, can do it."
"Then I don't speak darkly." Chief Sun waited for this sentence and brought up the thoughtful words, "I heard that your Wande Commercial Bank and Wande Yinlou are both leaders in the business community of Jiangcheng, and I won't mention it too much, just like the Li family's Zhihe, how about a profit of five or a half?" ”
Master Zhou scolded secretly, five or five points, why don't you grab it? Now that Mu Qing has become a hostage, he was forced to go to Liangshan, and it seems that he has to agree if he doesn't agree, so he has to smile and say: "Chief Sun is happy, and I Zhou Shixiong is also happy, according to what you say, I will have my own Yinyang at the end of each month." ”
Saying that, he asked Steward Zhou to bring the red paper bag prepared in the study: "This is this month's dividend, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Chief Sun took it and opened it and looked at it, it was all silver tickets, and there were a lot of materials, and he smiled: "A word is a certainty." ”
"That dog Zhou Muqing?"
"Master Zhou, what are you anxious about, Kung Fu Tea, Kung Fu Tea, and when the heat comes, you will naturally have fragrant tea." Chief Sun laughed.
Hearing him say this, the old man finally took a reassuring pill, and after spending such a high price, he had to save Mu Qing as soon as possible.
After this meal, it lasted for two more days, and on the afternoon of the third day, the news finally came:
The killer who attacked Inspector Zhang was caught. Legend has it that Chief Zhang lost his money in a gamble at Huajing Club and was sought revenge by the gangsters. Sergeant Wang made a great contribution and caught the three suspects in one fell swoop and killed them on the spot. Zhou Muqing was purely framed and acquitted.
Master Zhou went to pick up Mu Qing and went home, looking at his haggard and sloppy son, the old man was distressed.
The cell under the police station is dark and damp, infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants, where is the place where people stay? The old man took care of Mu Qing's decency, did not bring extra bystanders, and was led by Sergeant Wang, personally went down to the prison cell, and helped Mu Qing out.
Zhou Muqing's eyes hadn't seen light for a long time, and suddenly there was a light, and he closed his eyes like a stinging conditioned reflex, and Mu Mudi didn't know how to cover it with his hands.
The old man suppressed his heartache, thanked Sheriff Wang, and sent them some benefits, and the father and son boarded the car and asked the driver to drive back to the Zhou Mansion.
It wasn't until he got in the car that Mu Qing reacted a little, and he said "Dad", and he didn't hear Mu Qing call himself "Dad" for a long time, and the old man was a little choked.
"It's okay." The old man patted him on the shoulder and handed him another coat, "Change it." ”
He is still the second young master of the Zhou family, how can he lose his temper in front of his subordinates. Mu Qing put it on, and it was much cleaner than when she just came out of the police station. He was quieter in the car than before, and the old man knew that although he had changed his clothes, it would take time for him to adjust and cheer up.
Finally arrived at the door of the house, Steward Zhou personally helped Mu Qing out of the car.
"Sir." Steward Zhou respectfully said, "This is the brazier prepared according to your instructions." ”
"Qing'er, step over, cross the brazier, and the future will be smooth." The old man encouraged softly.
Mu Qing looked at his father's encouraging expression and did so.
"I've got the housekeeper ready, you go home to take a shower and get a haircut, have a meal and rest more."
"Okay."
When Zhou Muqing came back, everyone was at ease. The eldest lady said happily at the dinner table: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Sister-in-law Qi Shan was also smiling slightly.
Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, Mu Qing looked at familiar people and things, which made him feel solid and safe. He had a poor appetite in prison, and although the old man made the kitchen all the dishes he liked, he only ate a little and said he was full.
"Qing'er, it's all over. Relax and look forward. Master Zhou said at the dinner table.
Mu Qing nodded.
Phoenix looked at Mu Qing from a distance, he was much thinner. This prison disaster seemed to make him much duller, and the way he was in front of her made her sad, and she hoped that the high-spirited second young master in the past could come back.
Mu Qing went back to his room and lay on the bed, he didn't sleep much in the police station, and he didn't suffer a crime on the damp and cold straw mat. I was really sleepy when I relaxed, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
After a long night's sleep, it was already night when he woke up again.
The old man left him a meal, saying that it was hot and brought to the room after the second young master woke up.
The maid set the meal on the table and said to Mu Qing, "Second Young Master, please use it." ”
"How are you? Phoenix? Mu Qing was very familiar with this voice, and couldn't help but look at it, "What about Caiping." ”
"She had a bad stomach, so I sent it." Phoenix said, "Young Master, you can ask me any questions, I know you must have questions for me." ”
Mu Qing glanced at her without a trace, and asked her to stand aside and eat first.
Phoenix's words were like stones hitting cotton, thinking of the previous second young master, he would definitely be stirred up by his own words. After this prison disaster, his heart is more patient.
Mu Qing ate slowly, but Phoenix was a little anxious.
Finally finished eating.
"I ask you, how the hell did Daddy get me out."
"The master invited Chief Sun to his house and set up a banquet."
"What conditions did Dad promise him?"
"Chief Sun proposed a monthly profit of fifty-five cents, and the lord agreed, and the lord gave him this month's money."
"What? Five-five? Mu Qing clenched his fists, and sure enough, it was about the same as he estimated.
I didn't expect that because of my reckless actions, such huge consequences were triggered. He knew what kind of backlash the decision would be on the shareholders of Wonder Commercial Bank, and how much pressure his father would face.
What's more important is that his plan to control the Zhou family has returned to the original point, and it is worse than before, he used to work in Wande Commercial Bank without merit, and after taking charge of the silver building, he has no merit, and now he has only passed without merit, how can he convince the public.
He then asked, "Where is the silver building?" ”
"The master sent the eldest young master."
Mu Qing felt a pain in her heart when she heard this, Zhou Yuehua was in charge of the silver building again, who was she busy with all her hard work? I'm afraid it will fall short in the near future.
"Oh." Mu Qing was lonely in her heart, but her face was still indifferent.
"By the way, when I'm not home, who has come to look for me?"
"Not really."
As soon as the words came out, he felt that he asked more, and it was indeed the expected answer. Also, Zhilan is now married to someone from the Li family, how can she go back to her parents' house at will, assuming that she is Li Shaowen, she will not talk about it with Zhilan, she must not know.
It's okay not to know.
"Hmm. You pack up and go. Mu Qing didn't ask anymore, he got up and went to stand on the balcony.
Phoenix cleaned up the dishes in the room, looked up at Mu Qing's back standing on the balcony, suddenly stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands, took off the robe hanging on the hanger, and draped it on him.
Mu Qing came back to her senses and thanked her: "Thank you today, let Caiping do these things in the future." ”
Phoenix bit her lip, packed up her things and retreated.
Mu Qing looked at the lake in the distance, he had only been in prison for a few days, but he had a sense that things were wrong.
He turned his head and saw the balcony door of Zhilan's room next door, and suddenly expected Zhilan to push the door out of that door and shouted, "Mu Qing." ”
Stunned, he retracted his thoughts and smiled self-deprecatingly.
