Sitting in the taxi, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, Chen Zhonghai only said that Brother Chao had some very important things that he didn't say, but he refused to tell me what it was, and he had to talk to me in person.

I am naturally very concerned about things related to Brother Chao, Chen Haobei's state is much better, I called him downstairs and said that he had something to do and went out temporarily, and he didn't force me to stay.

I refused Chen Zhonghai's offer to send a car to pick me up, and directly took a taxi myself.

As Chen Zhonghai said, I just reported the name of 'Jihai Nightclub' after I got in the car, and the driver didn't ask anything more, it seems that this nightclub is really famous.

The taxi drove for more than half an hour before stopping, paid to get off, and across the road was the neon-lit 'Polar Sea Nightclub'.

The first time I came to this kind of place, I thought about how I could pretend to be a regular and walked towards the door.

There are a lot of cars parked at the door of the nightclub, and there are many people gathered at the door, there are men and women, most of them are shaky and drunk, the men are all arrogant like 'Lao Tzu is the best in the world', and the women are all looking like 'as long as you have money, you can go to the old lady casually'.

Looking at the loving appearance of these people, I can't help but think of Lu Xun's famous saying, it's really 'a bitch with a dog, forever'.

Walking through these red men and green women who were overly drunk, I looked around, and there were two people on the left and right sides of the main entrance who were similar to Chen Haobei, with black tight short sleeves, black trousers and black leather shoes, like four mountain cannons.

In addition, these people have one thing in common, that is, each of them has a wireless Bluetooth headset in their ear, and from time to time they will look around and talk to themselves, it seems that these four people are the staff of this nightclub.

Thinking of this, I made an appointment with Chen Zhonghai, and asked one of them, "Hello, is Mr. Chen Zhonghai working here?" ”

The thug I questioned didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and he glared at me with a little suspicion and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The music here is indeed a bit noisy, I cleared my throat and raised the volume and asked again: "I said, Chen Zhonghai first..."

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and the left side of my face suddenly felt a hot pain, and a fishy smell faintly revealed in my mouth.

Before I could react to what was going on, the thug I was questioning seemed to have suffered some great insult, poked my finger at the door of the head, glared at me and scolded: "Mahler next door, where are you doing it, little walled cub?" Dare to call Brother Chen's name directly? Tired of living, aren't you? Tired of living, aren't you?! ”

A slap and his constant poking in the head, coupled with his spitting swearing, a wave of anger surged up irrepressibly, until I was poked by him in the forehead, I directly grabbed his finger that was poking me and broke it hard, and the bastard immediately knelt down with a scream in the direction of my force.

I lowered my head and yelled at him, "I'm here to find Chen Zhonghai!" Chen Zhonghai! Chen Zhonghai! Chen Zhonghai! ”

I shouted Chen Zhonghai's name several times in a row, and the other three thugs immediately quit, two of them stopped my movements while pulling something out of the back waist, and the other didn't come, he held his earphone with one hand and said loudly: "At the front door!" Someone smashed the field! With that, he walked towards me.

Really lift me up and smash the field... However, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the evil tiger can't stand the wolves, and I am rightly cowardly in the face of four people holding the guy empty-handed.

I let go of the person in my hand, raised my hands to show that I had no weapons and no malice, and then said to the three people: "I'm just here to find someone, not to make trouble, and I have an appointment with Chen Zhonghai, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”

The thug who was snapping his fingers grabbed his fingers and glared at me, as if he was about to curse the street again. At this moment, the door opened, and there was no army of horses and horses as I expected, only an elegant man in a suit and leather shoes.

When he opened the door, the music behind the door suddenly came out deafeningly, mixed with the cold air of the air conditioner and the smell of tobacco and alcohol.

As soon as this person came out, the four thugs immediately shouted respectfully to him: "Brother Lei! ”

The man known as 'Brother Lei' just nodded, and then asked me, "Is it Zhao Qianqian?" I nodded with an "um", and the man smiled and said, "Then come with me." After saying that, he politely opened the door.

I was a little flattered, and hurriedly walked towards the door, and a few thugs seemed to want to say something, but they were stopped by a gesture from this man.

After entering the door, I looked around curiously, there was a stage here, there was a deliberately funny actor on the stage, and he was accompanied by a very cheaply dressed actress, and the two of them were performing without knowing the content.

Although it is only a short glance, it can be seen that the exaggeration of their acting skills is really comparable to that of little fresh meat, and they don't let small flowers.

Under the stage is a round table and a circular sofa around the round table, each seat has guests, each table has more or less wine bottles, all kinds of guests are dressed, and there are all kinds of wine.

'Brother Lei' walked me a short distance when suddenly, I saw a familiar figure. Although the lights here are not very bright and are constantly flickering, and this face is wearing slightly heavier makeup than usual, I still recognize it at a glance, it is Li Xiaomeng.

It happened that Li Xiaomeng also saw me, she seemed a little surprised, in fact, I was also a little, after all, I didn't expect to meet here.

There are also three men and two women at the same table with Li Xiaomeng, and the three men all look much older than Li Xiaomeng, or bald or beer belly, all of whom are "successful people" of the same style as Zhu Bajie.

The two girls are about the same age as Li Xiaomeng, and the three girls dress in similar styles, as if they are how to save money and how to save fabrics.

I subconsciously stood there and looked at her, she slowly stood up, greeted me, smiled and said, "Long time no see." ”

Before I could speak, the man next to her looked at Li Xiaomeng and then at me, and asked in a slightly hostile tone, "Do you know each other?" I didn't speak, and Li Xiaomeng replied, "It's a former colleague." ”

"Oh." The man stopped talking, and I smiled at Li Xiaomeng, who suddenly looked at me with inquiring eyes, and pointed to her own face.

I subconsciously touched my face, it was a little swollen, damn, it's a shame.

It happened that Brother Lei, who was leading the way in front at this time, noticed that I hadn't followed him, so he hurriedly walked over and asked me, "Do you know each other?" I nodded and shook my head, "It's a former colleague." ”

Li Xiaomeng's eyes seemed to darken, I didn't say anything, smiled at her and followed Brother Lei to continue walking towards the depths of the nightclub.

At the end, there was an elevator, and Brother Lei took me into the elevator and pressed the button on the fifth floor.

The elevator button goes up to the number '5', which was an eye-opener for me, wondering if this is the only elevator in Marina City with only five floors.

The fifth floor was much quieter, and Brother Lei led me to a huge mahogany door, knocked lightly a few times, and there was a voice from behind the door, "Come in!" Brother Lei opened the door and walked me in.

A huge and luxurious office, almost all of the dark wood furniture, in addition to the furniture, there are a lot of wooden decorations, antique, as soon as you enter the door, there is a faint fragrance, very elegant, and the noisy first floor just now is completely different temperament.

Mr. Chen sat behind a huge boss's desk deep in his office, reading a newspaper.

This surprised me a little, it seems that there are very few people who still read newspapers in this day and age, right?

Looking at this magnificent decoration, I thought of one thing very clearly, that is, Chen Zhonghai's profession is definitely not a cleaner! It won't be an electrician, bricklayer, or security guard!

"Mr. Chen, someone brought it."

Brother Lei said this very respectfully, Chen Zhonghai raised his head at this time, but he immediately frowned when he saw me, and then, like Li Xiaomeng, he also pointed to his face and asked, "What's the matter?"

Before I could figure out how to explain, Brother Lei said first: "It's Xiao Cai, who mistakenly thought that someone was coming to make trouble." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and was noncommittal.

Chen Zhonghai's expression seemed to be very dissatisfied, and he said, "Let him come up." ”

Brother Lei didn't seem to dare to slack off at all, and immediately agreed: "Yes." After agreeing, he pressed his headphones into the air and said, "Let Xiao Cai come to Mr. Chen's office, now." ”

Chen Zhonghai said to me: "One thousand, sit casually." ”

I looked at those leather sofas and some chairs or something, and suddenly I was a little restrained, these are quite expensive, right? What if it breaks the seat? Maybe you can't afford to lose it, right? These things may not be easy to break, right?

I was thinking nonsense, but Chen Zhonghai didn't say anything more, smiled at me and continued to bury his head in reading his newspaper, as if he hadn't come to me.

After a while, there were a few knocks on the door, Chen Zhonghai didn't speak, Brother Lei walked to the door a few steps and opened the door to let someone in, it was the gangster "Xiao Cai" who slapped me just now.

Xiao Cai looked at me who was left hanging aside with contempt in his eyes, ignored me, and stood directly beside me and said to Chen Zhonghai respectfully: "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

Chen Zhonghai didn't raise his head, continued to look at the newspaper, just pointed to his face and then pointed at me, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

This one named Xiao Cai immediately replied: "Ah, he? I don't know what to do, I dare to call your name when I stand at our door, I'll be a slap in the face, if not..."

"He's my brother."

Chen Zhonghai suddenly said such five words lightly, I was a little surprised, but Xiao Cai was directly stunned, as if these five words directly scared him.

Xiao Cai turned his head to look at me, the contempt in his eyes was gone, replaced by fear that I couldn't understand. Then Xiao Cai suddenly knelt down, and then, as if he had a grudge against himself, he opened his bow left and right and began to pump his big mouth, scolding himself for swearing words such as dog-eyed beads while smoking.

This scene directly showed me stupid, and the "snapping" slap proved that this was not a borrowed shooting, this was a real fight, a real deal.

The more I look at it, the more panicked I become, what is this called?

However, Chen Zhonghai still didn't raise his head, as if he couldn't see or hear this scene at all, and Brother Lei also stood quietly aside, also not looking at Xiao Cai.

After about three or four minutes, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said, "Brother Chen, Brother Lei, what... So what..."

I don't know what to say when I open my mouth, plead with him? Why doesn't it feel like it's my turn to do this? But don't plead, it seems that this matter does have something to do with me, right?

Fortunately, Chen Zhonghai finally raised his head and glanced at Xiao Cai, he raised his hand and made a 'stop' action, Xiao Cai stopped "popping", but still looked at Chen Zhonghai with fear in his eyes.

Chen Zhonghai ignored him, and just shouted: "Leizi." ”

Brother Lei on the side agreed, slowly walked to the corner of the room, picked up a katana that I thought was just for decoration, and walked back again.

With a "bang", the long knife came out of its sheath, and the cold light flickered.

With a little experience, I immediately saw that this knife was also open, but I didn't understand what he was doing.

Lei Ge Chong asked Xiao Cai, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Which hand?" ”

Xiao Cai already had tears in his eyes, he looked at Chen Zhonghai and called "Master", Chen Zhonghai looked down at the newspaper and didn't hear it. He shouted at Brother Lei again: "Brother Lei..." Brother Lei urged again with an expressionless face: "Which hand?" ”

As if knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Xiao Cai glanced at me, trembled and raised his left hand forward, turned his head and closed his eyes.

Lei Ge threw the empty scabbard to the ground, raised the katana high with both hands, and stared at the hand held by Xiao Cai Ping in front of him...
