Chapter 167: Hongmen Banquet
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Talisman Bodyguard!
Looking at Li Jiaqi's back, Lu Xia suddenly felt that this best friend, who had been close to her since her college days, was so strange.
She had a feeling of being deceived and wanted to leave immediately.
But it was too late, just in front of him, there were forty strong men standing, if Lu Xia turned around and ran, he would definitely be caught up.
Moreover, Lu Xia felt that the other party's arrangement was far more than these people in front of her.
Men in chef's overalls, cleaners wandering around the neighborhood with brooms, and a dozen or so tourists hanging out......
The dozens of pairs of peeping eyes hidden in a darker place made Lu Xia feel cold all over her body.
Everything here made Lu Xia feel very incongruous, feeling that she was surrounded by people and couldn't get out at all.
She took a deep breath, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and was about to call Shen Lei and Jiang Xueqing, asking them to pick her up, she couldn't continue to stay here.
"Miss Lu, our boss is waiting for you inside, it's better for you to go in by yourself, don't let us invite you." At this time, a man dressed as a tourist nearby came over and spoke very kindly, but everyone could understand the threat in his words.
Really!
All the people here are deliberately arranged by the other party, the purpose is to monitor her every move!
Lu Xia had no choice but to put away her mobile phone, and under the gaze of everyone, she walked towards the door.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, Lu Xia smiled bitterly in her heart, when she was very young, the textbook told the allusion of the 'Hongmen Banquet' two thousand years ago.
She didn't expect that a similar script would happen to her, and this Hongmen banquet was carefully planned by her good friend Li Jiaqi, and it is unknown why, in short, it is ill-intentioned.
Trying to calm her emotions, Lu Xia knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed the door in.
Compared with the heavy layout outside the restaurant, there are not many people in the restaurant, and in the main hall, which is not very large, there are only a dozen strong men standing, forming a corner and faintly protecting a middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
This middle-aged man is about 40 years old, not tall, and even a little thin, wearing a white casual suit, with gestures, he looks full of aura, and with the protection of so many strong men around him, it sets off the temperament of a successful person.
Li Jiaqi, who entered the restaurant first, sat next to the middle-aged man, and she saw Lu Xia walk in and beckoned.
Lu Xia walked over and sat opposite Li Jiaqi and the middle-aged man.
As soon as he sat down, a strong man not far away came over and said very politely: "Miss Lu, our boss has a special identity, and it is inconvenient to disclose his identity, for the sake of secrecy, please hand over your mobile phone to me for safekeeping, and we will return it to you when you leave." ”
"Xiaxia, be obedient to him, and Brother Cankun will also give you more trust." Li Jiaqi on the other side said.
Lu Xia glanced at her, needless to say, Brother Cankun in Li Jiaqi's mouth was the middle-aged man sitting next to her.
At this time, the middle-aged man smiled at Lu Xia, and Lu Xia noticed that the other party was wearing an off-white striped scarf on the back of his neck and shoulders, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Because of this scarf, Lu Xia saw it once in Li Jiaqi's office.
Because it was a men's scarf, Lu Xia was very impressed, and asked Li Jiaqi at that time, is this scarf for her sweetheart? Li Jiaqi said that it was for customers, so Lu Xia didn't think much about it.
Now that this middle-aged man has seen this scarf again, Lu Xia's mood is complicated, but she doesn't know what to say.
"Miss Lu, please hand over your phone to me for safekeeping, is it okay?" Seeing that Lu Xia didn't respond for a long time, the strong man opened his mouth to urge again, and his tone was obviously not as polite as before.
Lu Xia also knew that even if she held her mobile phone, she would not have a chance to make a call here, so she opened her bag and handed over the mobile phone.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The strong man said this, and then returned to his place.
"Xiaxia, you have to be considerate of Brother Cankun, it's not that he doesn't trust you, it's just that he is such a big person, there are some things that need to be paid attention to, I hope you look at my face, don't mind." Li Jiaqi said.
Lu Xia smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, this is as it should be." ”
I said this, but my mood was very low, or more precisely, I felt a kind of pressure.
Originally, she and Li Jiaqi were companions, and when they saw customers talking about business, it stands to reason that they should sit together, which will invisibly relieve a lot of pressure.
But when she got here, Li Jiaqi suddenly came to a reversal and became a person on the customer's side, sitting with the customer and negotiating with Lu Xia, which gave Lu Xia a sense of crisis that all the information had been leaked and all the hole cards were exposed.
This made Lu Xia very nervous and uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath and trying to reduce the pressure in her heart, Lu Xiaqiao's face burst into a smile again, and then she looked at Li Jiaqi at eye level.
Li Jiaqi also wanted to watch more of Lu Xia's restrained posture, but she didn't expect the other party to adjust so quickly, she was stunned, and her eyes couldn't help narrowing.
"Sister Jiaqi, you haven't introduced this gentleman to me yet." Lu Xia said with a smile.
"Hehe, Miss Lu's adaptability really impresses me." Without waiting for Li Jiaqi to speak, the middle-aged man on the side first praised and laughed, "Let me introduce myself first, the contemptible surname is Zeng, Zeng Cankun, and he is the owner of this manor." Miss Lu, Jiaqi often mentions you in front of the contemptible, admires your ability very much, and the contemptible person has also been a friend for a long time, today Miss Lu can take the time to meet the contemptible person in her busy schedule, and the contemptible person is deeply honored! ”
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang." Lu Xiawan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zeng Cankun laughed: "Miss Lu is really humorous, it's the first time someone has called a contemptible person like this!" ”
"Since Mr. Zeng is the owner of the manor, there should be no problem for me to call Mr. Zhuang, if I offend Mr. Zeng, please remind me, I will correct it." Lu Xia smiled.
Zeng Cankun waved his hand and was about to speak, but Li Jiaqi on the side pursed his lips and said in a weird manner: "Brother Cankun's assets are more than this manor, Xiaxia, you call him the owner, of course it's not appropriate." ”
was scolded by the person she used to be closest to, Lu Xia's heart was complicated, and she reluctantly smiled: "It's true that I made a mistake, I'm here to say sorry to Mr. Zeng." Mr. Zeng's wealth is abundant, and today is really an eye-opener for me. ”
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zeng Cankun waved his hand again and again, "My little surplus money can only get some assets in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, and the real rich people don't look down on the suburbs, they all have independent villas or even villa groups in the urban area." ”
After a pause, Zeng Cankun looked at Lu Xia and said with a smile: "As far as I know, Miss Lu's family is not simple, the Jiangcheng Lu family, at least ranked in the top twenty, is a real family!" ”
"Your Lu family owns a large group of villas, and the clan lives in it. Miss Lu is a descendant of the Lu family, what is my small asset in front of Miss Lu? Zeng Cankun said with a smile.
