"The situation is getting worse and worse, everything is uncertain, I have transferred most of the business to Europe and the United States, only the tobacco factory and weaving factory in Yunnan are left in China, and the scale is not large, if it really fights, it will be a loss. I'm going to the U.S. next month, when are you two going to get married? Where is the wedding held? Xu Ruhai crossed Erlang's legs, sat on the English leather sofa, and looked at Xu Manlin and Zhou Ruikang with a pipe.

"Dad, why are you asking this again?" Xu Manlin said embarrassedly.

Xu Ruhai puffed out a puff of smoke, looked at Zhou Ruikang, who was standing silent, and said slowly: "Man Lin, you go back to the room first, I have something to talk to Ruikang alone." ”

"I don't, as soon as I walk away, you're going to make things difficult for him."

"Hehe, don't worry, he's not your husband yet, you don't have to protect him so much, Dad has his own measure."

"I told you, you just take care of your money and business, don't worry about me." Xu Manlin frowned, her heart was up and down, she knew that her father was unpredictable and changeable, and Ruikang's upright and impatient personality always suffered.

"Manlin, go back to your room." Xu Ruhai raised her eyelids and glared at her daughter very sharply, as soon as Xu Manlin saw her father's eyes, she knew that if she insisted on it, she would definitely not be pleased, so she had to walk out of the study and close the door.

There were only Xu Ruhai and Zhou Ruikang in the study, Ruikang still bowed his head and was silent, Xu Ruhai stood up, picked up the wine bottle, walked up to him, added some wine to his half-empty wine glass, poured himself another glass, his eyes swept Ruikang's face sharply, and suddenly said:

"You don't love Manlin at all."

Zhou Ruikang raised his head and glanced at him, he was not surprised that Xu Ruhai knew this fact, because in fact, he didn't hide his emotions much, he was surprised that Xu Ruhai would suddenly pick on him.

"What exactly do you want from Manlin?" Xu Ruhai stared at him gloomily.

"Nothing, I'm sorry Mr. Xu, I really shouldn't be with Man Lin. I can leave her at any time. As soon as he spoke, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to make up for it, but Xu Ruhaimeng's face sank, his eyes bulged out, and his lips tightened:

"What do you say? Can you leave her at any time? You abandoned my Xu Ruhai's daughter like a walk? ”

"No, I didn't mean that, I didn't deserve her in the first place, and since you know I don't love her, it's natural for me to leave."

"Zhou Ruikang, you are too arrogant, too proud, and too blind. Man Lin has a deep affection for you, rejects all suitors, and loves you wholeheartedly. ”

Ruikang took a sip of wine, put the wine glass down, frowned, and said, "Mr. Xu, you don't know all the misunderstandings between me and Man Lin, let alone what I have experienced. I'm sorry, I can't marry Manlin. I don't want this mistake to last a lifetime. ”

"Hmph, Zhou Ruikang, you really don't know the sky, do you think your secrets are secrets?"

Xu Ruhai took a sip of wine, sat back on the sofa, and said leisurely: "I have long known that it is Manlin who is pursuing you, you have always been passively accepting, she is my daughter, I want her to be happy, so I have been tolerating you until now, and even helping you expand your career, just hoping that you can treat her better." But you really didn't know what to do, you refused our help, quit your job at the publishing house, and ran to Shanghai alone. Man Lin didn't think about your tea and dinner, stayed awake day and night, and asked around for your news, but you were in Shanghai and Tang Xiaoyun had a hot fight. ”

Ruikang was stunned for a moment, Xu Ruhai lit his pipe again, and continued: "I know, you are pretentious and high-minded, and you don't care about us people who are rolling in the officialdom mall, but we people can pinch you to death as easily as pinching an ant." You can live until now because of Manlin, if it weren't for her, you would have died on the street on the day you left Tang Xiaoyun's small apartment. ”

Ruikang suddenly shivered all over his body, and began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

The tobacco in the pipe lit a faint fire, dimmed again, and told an amazing secret from Xu Ruhai's mouth: "Tang Xiaoyun, real name: Mei Ruoli, eighteen years old, from Beiping, joined the Communist Party in Shanghai in May last year, received special training, and arranged to lurk around Xu Enhai to spy on intelligence. Xu Ruhai casually opened a briefcase on the coffee table, took out a file from it, and threw it in front of Zhou Ruikang.

Ruikang picked up the file and read a few pages, and suddenly his blood was about to clot.

Xu Ruhai continued: "Father Mei Xuefei, mother Chen Yuqin, and a half-sister, Mei Ruojun, is your brother's wife, and she is also ...... Your lover. Xu Ruhai finished talking about Ruoli's background in one breath, and his eyes were like falcons, staring at Zhou Ruikang.

Beads of sweat oozed from Zhou Ruikang's forehead, his face turned blue, he closed the file in his hand, his heart beat violently, beating in panic, he didn't care if they knew if they knew about their unruly love with Mei Ruojun, at this moment he was worried about Ruoli's precarious life, Ruoli, Ruoli, that lively and lovely little sister, that silly, stupid little sister who loved him infatuously, he pinched the corners of his eyes, trembled his lips, and when he thought that Ruoli would become a victim of political struggle at any time, he was heartbroken, no, no, no, No matter what method he uses, he has to stop it, and he wants to save Wakari's life.

He forcibly held back the crying in his throat and calmed down and said, "If I promise to marry Man Lin and give her a lifetime of happiness, can you help save Ruoli?" ”

Xu Ruhai looked at him with slanted eyes, suddenly grinned and showed his teeth, laughed, shook his head and said, "You, after all, are a child." He sat on the couch and laughed incessantly, and the laughter made his heart tremble.

"I never wanted to marry Man Lin to you, you are not qualified to be a member of my Xu family, but if you really love Man Lin, I may look at Man Lin's face and help her, but you don't love her at all, since you don't love her, how can you give her a lifetime of happiness? Now why should I bother with this? ”

Zhou Ruikang had a feeling that he had walked into a trap, a trap that was very dangerous and had almost no way out.

"What are you going to do with Wakari?" He asked.

"Well...... It's none of my business, you'll see a good show later. ”

"What's the show? Are you already trying to get your hands on her? Ruikang asked angrily: "She's just a girl who just turned eighteen." What are you going to do to let her go? ”

"Your impulsive personality is really bad, I said it, this matter has nothing to do with me, I'm just a businessman."

"But you are Xu Enhai's brother, you can beg him to let him go."

"Why?"

Zhou Ruikang frowned lightly, sat on the sofa opposite Xu Ruhai and said, "Mr. Xu, I am willing to make a deal with you." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Xu Ruhai's glasses shone in the light.

"Man Lin loves me, you know very well, I am honored and touched, although I am indeed half-hearted, but I am willing to do my best to make Man Lin happy, as long as you can let Xu Enhai let go of Ru Li, I will immediately send her abroad, never to set foot in China again. And I, although I am not your fast son-in-law, but as long as Manlin is willing, I will always accompany her and never give up. What do you think? ”

"Hmm...... It's kind of interesting, indeed, Manlin is the pearl of my palm, for her, I can consider this deal, but, without you, I think she will have other boyfriends. So your conditions still can't convince me. ”

"Really? How many boyfriends did she have before me? Which one is she like to me? ”

Xu Ruhai was a little speechless, he was telling the truth, although his daughter has always had a boyfriend, but she has never been so serious about anyone, let go of her noble life experience, arrogant nature to please Zhou Ruikang, protect Zhou Ruikang, he sighed in his heart, his daughter's happiness is his cover door, and Zhou Ruikang just pinched his cover door, but he was unwilling, and said expressionlessly:

"I want you to marry Manlin immediately, and then go to the United States to settle down with us."

"Okay, I promise. As long as you can keep Wakari safe. ”

"I can't guarantee anything, I can only try, you know, in recent years, the Communist Party has sent a lot of people to Enhai's side, this is an extremely serious and sensitive matter, even if I come forward, Enhai may not give me this face."

Ruikang sat up straight, "No, please save her......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door of the study, and a servant walked in and said, "The eldest master, the second master is back." ”

"Alone?"

"No, I came back with Miss Tang."

Zhou Ruikang stood up violently, and wanted to go out to give Ruoli some hints.

"If you go out now, it's only going to make things worse." Xu Ruhai was still leisurely holding his pipe and spitting out clouds.

Ruikang stopped and thought about it, he and Ruoli were both in the Xu family's sphere of influence, Xu Enhai had already known Ruoli's identity, and if he ventured out to give Ruoli a hint, he didn't know how the situation would change.

He hesitantly sat back on the sofa, Xu Ruhai's eyes narrowed behind the lenses, and he slowly stood up and said, "Follow me." ”

He didn't choose, followed Xu Ruhai into a small door in the study, passed through a beautiful wooden corridor, came to a small room, turned on the light, the indoor space is not large, it is a small study, Xu Ruhai stood in front of a Western painting, and gently pressed on the lower left corner of the frame, the whole painting moved to the left side, Xu Ruhai gently pressed the wall with dark red printed wallpaper, and a piece suddenly popped up on the wall, revealing a small hole.

Xu Ruhai looked inside, picked up a loudspeaker-like megaphone, and then turned his head to signal Ruikang to come forward to look, while saying in his mouth: "Put this end on the wall and put the other end on your ear, you can hear the voice on the other end, you have a good show here, but I remind you that if you let them find out that you are here, the gods will not be able to save her." With that, he turned around and left the room leisurely.

Through the holes, Ruikang saw a richly decorated bedroom, with huge magnolia ceiling lamps, golden floor-to-ceiling curtains, snow-white pillows and sheets topped with golden cushions and embroidered fabrics. The large wardrobe with white and gold edges, and the matching dressing table, are delicate and magnificent.

After a while, the door opened, and Xu Enhai walked in with Tang Xiaoyun in his arms, and the two laughed happily, and they couldn't see that they were enemies of life and death.

Xu Enguan closed the door and sat on the sofa, Tang Xiaoyun walked over with a smile on his face, sat in his arms, grabbed his neck, and said angrily: "You are so bad, you have been gone for so many days, don't you want me?" ”

Xu Enhai leaned his head on the back of the sofa, closed his eyes, and had a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, and opened Tang Xiaoyun's cheongsam with one hand, stroking back and forth on her snow-white thighs.

"The Japanese are ready to move, and the Communist Party is not stopping, they are too tired."

"Hehe, then have a good rest tonight, relax and relax, I'll pour you a glass of wine, and then pour you bath water, later, I'll give you a massage."

"Okay." Xu Enhai's eyes opened a slit, smiled slightly, pinched her chin, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her heavily.

Tang Xiaoyun stood up from him with a coquettish smile, twisted her waist, walked around the bar, and poured wine with her back to Xu Enhai.

Ruikang saw clearly in the small hole, Tang Xiaoyun poured two glasses of whiskey, twisted a ring on his finger very neatly, and added some ice cubes to the two glasses of wine, Ruikang hurriedly turned his head to look at Xu Enhai, he was looking at Tang Xiaoyun's back gloomily, the coldness in his eyes was like two sharp blades, and the corners of his mouth were pulled down.

Obviously, he knows Tang Xiaoyun's small actions well, and he knows it clearly, Ruikang is anxious to fly over through the wall, take her away, and stay away from this dangerous situation, he doesn't know what Xu Enhai, the murderous spy leader, will do with her next, he just wants to take her away, but how can he do it? He can't act rashly.

Tang Xiaoyun took two glasses of wine, shook the wine in the glass with a smile, and walked over slowly, not paying too much attention to Xu Enhai's face, because he was often gloomy and gloomy, she had long been used to it, she thought that maybe he was trying to deal with someone at this time, but she didn't think that she might be the one to be dealt with.

Xu Enhai took the wine glass, shook the wine in the glass, put it down, and took down the wine glass in Tang Xiaoyun's hand and put it on the coffee table. Slowly stood up, suddenly hugged Tang Xiaoyun gently, and whispered, "Do you know how many people want to get information from me?" How many people want me dead? ”

Tang Xiaoyun raised her eyelashes, with a stiff smile, and looked at him with some astonishment: "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”

Xu Enhai lifted her chin, and her eyes lingered on her young and beautiful face: "You are a beautiful woman, they know that I like beautiful women, and they often send some very beautiful women to me." ”

The smile on her face retracted, there was a hint of fear in her eyes, and she hurriedly said, "Do you suspect that I was sent to you by someone else?" ”

"Are you?" He asked, frowning.

"Of course not, what are you talking about?"

"Beautiful women are usually very good at lying, and the more beautiful they are, the more they can deceive people, just like those poisonous mushrooms, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, I think I have been poisoned by you." He fixed the back of her head with one hand, clasped her waist with the other, and kissed her rosy lips.
