Chapter 126: Blocking the gun at the Hongmen Banquet
Surname Zou? Zou Yukai's father? But I didn't dare to admit anyone, so I just smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Zou." β
My smile made him stunned for a moment, looking at me as if looking into the distance through me, that kind of gaze, and his face of the yin owl is a little incommensurate soft, for a while, he looked at me and smiled kindly: "Teacher Xin, I have known you for a long time." β
There is a slight coolness in my palm, if it is really Zou Shizhao, the boss of Yuanhang, a shopping mall giant with a prominent identity in Nancheng, how can he know that I am a nobody. I was a little surprised, but then I still said politely: "Oh, I don't know if Mr. Zou is looking for me now?" β
He didn't answer, just looked at me fixedly, his gaze full of deep meaning, a hint of inquiry, a hint of curiosity, and a hint of softness that I couldn't understand.
At this time, Lu Zenghan hurriedly strode over, and when he saw the man sitting opposite me, his face immediately turned white, and the nerves of the whole person could be seen to be extremely tight. But Lu Zenghan's coping ability is not comparable to ordinary people, just a moment, he recovered his comfort, walked quickly to the man's side, and said calmly and respectfully: "Mr. Zou." β
It seems that this man is Zou Shizhao, there is no doubt. Zou Shizhao hooked his lips and smiled slightly, stood up and patted Lu Zenghan's shoulder: "The vision is good." He said lightly, "This is not the place to talk, let's go upstairs and talk." β
Lu Zenghan and I glanced at each other, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety, but there was nothing else to do, he and I followed behind Zou Shizhao and walked out. At this moment, I noticed that there were a few tall and healthy men in black suits at the door in the dark, thinking that they were Zou Shizhao's bodyguards? I secretly sighed that the pomp and circumstance of rich people is really not small, and it is not easy to let someone with such an identity come to me in person.
Upstairs there is a private room, large and spacious, with European-style furnishings, curtains and floor-to-ceiling large glass all showing the luxury of decoration here. There was a dining table in the middle, and there were only three of us in the room, Zou Shizhao sat down and said, "Let's eat together, you haven't eaten much, have you?" β
I haven't started eating yet, but it's awkward to eat with him. I glanced at Lu Zenghan and politely refused: "Mr. Zou, we have eaten almost, if there is something, let's talk about it first." β
Zou Shizhao's face sank for a moment, Lu Zenghan raised his hand and dragged me, pulled me to sit opposite Zou Shizhao, and said, "Okay." β
Lu Zenghan, who has always been unworldly, arrogant and cool, saw that Zou Shizhao was so respectful, I didn't know what to do, so I had to follow Lu Zenghan.
Zou Shizhao must have ordered the food in advance, and soon after we sat down, they came up one by one. It is also Western food. The waiter poured red wine into everyone's wine glasses, my appetizer was white truffle foie gras, but Lu Zenghan and Zou Shizhao were salads, Lu Zenghan's brows frowned slightly.
I love foie gras, but I can't stand the truffle taste. But my sister loves truffle foie gras very much, and the better the truffle, the more expensive the price, the last time I ate with her was in the United States, she took me to eat when she went to my graduation ceremony, there are very few authentic truffle foie gras in China, and I haven't eaten much since I returned home.
I cut a small piece with a knife and put it in my mouth, tasted it, and it tasted authentic.
Zou Shizhao stared at me and put the foie gras in his mouth, smiled and asked, "It tastes good, right?" It's a Michelin-starred chef here. β
I put my knife and fork down and replied, "Good." β
"Then keep eating, eat more. Would you like another one? Zou Shizhao's mood suddenly became a little happy, and he looked at me and asked earnestly.
I really can't understand his expression, like that, a little bit of the pampering of the elders looking at the juniors, I and he are just the first time we officially met, where is this kind of affection? Is it because he likes Lu Zenghan too much that he loves Wu and Wu with me? But another one is still a good idea. I smiled, "No, I don't really like the smell of truffles." β
A kind of disappointment instantly appeared in his eyes, and that disappointment was a little lonely and a little desolate, which made people uncomfortable to look at. I glanced at Lu Zenghan, who looked at the foie gras on my plate, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
After a pause, Zou Shizhao came back to his senses, looked at Lu Zenghan and me, and said, "Yu Kai's mental condition is getting worse and worse. When it came to Zou Yukai, Zou Shizhao's face showed the worry of an ordinary father, "Someone persuaded me to send him to the hospital." But I've heard that doctors only give medicine and injections, and they also give electric shocks. How can this work? β
I heard the meaning of his words, did you want me to treat Zou Yukai? Lu Zenghan interjected: "Yu Kai's condition is still improving overall. I know a couple of foreign experts, orβ"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zou Shizhao, who looked at him with a cold and clear gaze: "What are you afraid of?" Lu Zenghan was silent, and Zou Shizhao continued to ask: "Are you afraid of her or you?" Well? β
Lu Zenghan frowned and looked at Zou Shizhao fixedly, and finally spoke up: "Mr. Zou, there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people." You can change someone to deliver that shipment, I have no opinion. β
Zou Shizhao hooked his lips and smiled, and suddenly with a flick of his hand, a gun was already pointed directly at Lu Zenghan, and his voice was gloomy: "You never dared to talk to me like this before." For her? Or are the wings stiff? β
I stood up in shock, but Lu Zenghan did not move. I know that Lu Zenghan doesn't want to fight back, otherwise with his previous experience, Lu Zenghan's hands and feet are so fast, Zou Shizhao has no chance to point a gun at Lu Zenghan. I looked at Zou Shizhao nervously, he wouldn't shoot, right? He's just scaring and scaring at best.
"Do you think I won't shoot?" Zou Shizhao sneered, and then pulled the trigger, I didn't have any thoughts, and subconsciously pounced in front of Lu Zenghan, Lu Zenghan's movements were faster than me, and he pressed me down and protected me from my body. The bullet grazed my shoulder and landed on the clock hanging on the wall behind me. Time stood still.
Lu Zenghan looked at me nervously, his eyebrows and eyes were full of anxiety: "Are you okay?" β
I shook my head and touched his arm: "What about you?" β
He shook his head, then helped me up, and looked at Zou Shizhao, his eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness.
Zou Shizhao's face was a very strange expression, first a little relieved and clear, and then a little lost, he put away the gun, walked over and patted Lu Zenghan on the shoulder: "Zeng Han, I never didn't believe you." In my heart, you are more caring and capable than Yu Kai. I'm just afraid that you're young and vigorous, and you've made a mistake in some things you shouldn't have done. β
"I understand." Lu Zenghan sighed and replied respectfully.
Zou Shizhao hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "You have never let me down." Yu Kai is not in good health, and the future of the voyage is counting on you. After speaking, Zou Shizhao pressed the service card on the table. A person in a black suit came in from outside, not as a waiter, but as someone brought by Zou Shizhao.
Zou Shizhao instructed: "Send in the meeting gift I prepared for Teacher Xin." β
The man answered, and after a while, he came in with two gift boxes. Very well packaged, I don't know what it is. Zou Shizhao looked at me and smiled: "The first time I saw it, it frightened you." Just a joke, don't take it personally. In the future, I often come to sit at home, see Yu Kai's illness, and talk and chat with me, an old man. β
I looked at Lu Zenghan, he nodded, I took the gift box, and responded in shock: "Okay, I know." β
Zou Shizhao clasped his fingers on the table, and said in a neat voice: "Okay, I still have to leave beforehand." You go on. With that, he strode out, followed by five or six men.
I let out a long sigh of relief, wanted to say something, and was worried that it was not safe in the house, but I just looked at Lu Zenghan worriedly: "Let's go too?" β
"Let's go." Lu Zenghan hugged me and frowned and went downstairs.
When we got to the car, Lu Zenghan and I finally relaxed our tight strings. I threw the gift in the back seat, unintentionally looking at what it was, and I couldn't react to it at all like a movie.
I looked at Lu Zenghan and asked worriedly, "What the hell is going on, how can he be the same?" Changing your face is faster than flipping a book. β
Lu Zenghan hooked his lips and sneered: "That's him, you can talk and laugh for a while, and you can put people to death for a while." β
"What the hell does he mean tonight? Do you really want me to treat Zou Yukai? "I don't know.
Lu Zenghan shook his head: "If he really wanted to invite you to treat his illness, he wouldn't have set up this Hongmen banquet." Besides, Zou Yukai hasn't reached that point yet. He's just trying to bang me. β
"Does he not trust you?" I asked.
He didn't believe anyone. He has been in the Tao for so many years, and he has long not known what trust is. This shipment is very important, and he is afraid that I will capsize. After so long, he easily found my weakness. Lu Zenghan rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.
I bit my lip and couldn't speak. At that moment, I hated myself. Maybe people like Lu Zenghan shouldn't be in love in the first place, once they have a weakness, they are easy for people to handle. I looked at Lu Zenghan and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm making trouble for you again." βγ He didn't answer, and I sighed and said, "Maybe you're right, we shouldn't have anything in the first place." β
"What's the use of talking about that now? It has become a weakness and cannot be recovered. Lu Zenghan looked at me, but there was less haze and more calmness, "Put it in the light, and I will have a response." β
I pursed my lips, looked at him and said, "I'm so afraid you'll say something like breaking up and never seeing each other again." β
Lu Zenghan was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips hooked, there was a bright color in his eyes, he rubbed my hair, and his voice was gentle and special: "Silly, I have never seen a woman more stupid than you." After a pause, he said, "Don't be so reckless in the future, Zou Shizhao's gun doesn't have eyes, I will definitely be able to protect your safety, what are you rushing blindly?" What do you let me do if I get hit by him? β
"What will you do?" I asked him with a smile.
"Me?" He snorted coldly, "I'll find a new girlfriend tomorrow and go hand in hand to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register my marriage." β
"Lu Zenghan! You have no conscience! I watched him tense with anger and glared at him and whispered. Can't even coax me?
"So you'll give me a good treat. Don't let me have that chance. Lu Zenghan hooked his lips and smiled.
