Chapter 122: Mr. Lai's Wounds
Five days later, at noon, I first came to Pattaya to find Fang Gang, went to the Bangkok airport with him, and successfully took out the ticket before I called Xiao Yang. She was staying in a hotel near the airport, and I didn't dare tell Fang Gang. I'm afraid that when he hears that I actually brought a yellow-haired girl with him, he has to get angry and throw her down. When he saw me calling, he thought he had something important to do with a friend, so he didn't ask much at all.
When Xiao Yang, who was wearing a tight T-shirt, hot pants, and a sun hat, ran in front of us, Fang Gang's eyes lit up, obviously admiring Xiao Yang's type of girl. Although Xiao Yang's appearance is not so beautiful, her 170 cm height, youthful and toned figure, and big eyes are full of vitality, which attracts men's attention.
Xiao Yang was still so enthusiastic, he gave me a warm hug when he came up, and I introduced Fang Gang to her: "This is the Fang Gang I often mention to you, he is an authority in the Thai Buddhist card world." My business is almost entirely dependent on his help to get to where I am today. Xiao Yang was very excited, and hurriedly gave Fang Gang a hug.
It stands to reason that Fang Gang is a veteran in the Fengyue Field, but it is still a little unnatural to face Xiao Yang's hug. After the cold noise, Xiao Yang came up and asked: "Brother Tian, Brother Fang, I heard that Southeast Asia is evil, especially Thailand." Half the people on the street are ghosts, really? â
Fang Gang pursed his lips and let out a contemptuous chuckle, and I said helplessly, "Who are you listening to?" Are we ghosts? â
"Definitely not," Xiao Yang said seriously, "ghosts have no shadows." And ghosts don't dare to come out when there is sun during the day, so you and Brother Fang are definitely not ghosts. This made Fang Gang laugh, and I also think that the knowledge of ghosts and gods of the Chinese is really popular, which is gratifying.
When I told Fang Gang that Xiao Yang, a girl who had not yet graduated from university, was going to go with us to Hanoi to meet customers. When he even booked the ticket, he immediately widened his eyes: "What kind of plane?" Who told you to get any random person to come with us? It's not a tour, it's an errand! â
Before I could speak, Xiao Yang was unhappy: "Brother Fang, how can this be called to get someone at random?" I'm not an outsider, I'm Brother Tian's assistant, who specializes in assisting him in handling business, don't you know? â
Fang Gang was stunned: "Assistant? How did I not know he had an assistant? â
Xiao Yang smiled: "I don't need to tell you about this little thing, I think let's go to dinner quickly, it's noon, and the plane is more than four o'clock in the afternoon." If you delay it any longer, you won't be able to board the plane! There is a restaurant over there that tastes great, I have been going to his house to eat for the past two days, the curry crab is particularly good, hurry up, I have a treat today. After speaking, Xiao Yang took my arm and walked towards the restaurant. Fang Gang was about to say something, Xiao Yang had already dragged me out for several meters, and he had to follow behind. When I looked back, I saw Fang Gang's face full of unhappiness, as if he was going to make me into a curry crab.
Mr. Li booked Fang Gang and me in first class, and Fang Gang and I were seated next to each other, and Xiao Yang was on the other side, but she had to change with me and sit next to Fang Gang. One asked him about Thai amulets, kuman and raising little ghosts. Xiao Yang asked a lot of strange questions, some of which I couldn't even read. Fang didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but Xiao Yang thought he didn't understand, so he showed contempt. Fang Gang was enraged, and he put on a condescending posture and said a lot of industry secrets that laymen didn't understand at all.
This can conquer Xiao Yang, and the admiration in her eyes has turned into lightning, and she slashes outward. Fang Gang was very proud, but he was also a little nervous, because he didn't know what Xiao Yang's next question would be and whether he could answer it, if he really couldn't answer it, it would be too embarrassing. I was lying next to me watching the excitement, and when I saw Fang Gang's complicated expression, I secretly laughed in my heart, thinking that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and I was also happy to be quiet, because if there was no Fang Gang, I would have to be tortured to death by Xiao Yang's problems.
The three of us flew to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and Mr. Le did not come, but his wife and brother-in-law were already waiting for us outside the airport. Mrs. Li is not pretty, but she is well-dressed and looks very temperamental, while his brother-in-law is a handsome guy in his thirties, wearing a trendy brand. Mrs. Li and her brother also seem to have frequent dealings with Chinese and speak Chinese, and Mrs. Lai's Chinese is more blunt than Mr. Lai's, but her brother is much more fluent. After introducing each other, I learned that Mrs. Li's maiden name is Ruan, and her younger brother's name is Ruan Wenyong, this guy is obviously very interested in Xiao Yang, and he smiled and accosted him, Xiao Yang's personality is unrestrained, and he talked to him with a smile, which made Ruan Wenyong even happier. After stopping the taxi, he took the initiative to open the car door for Xiao Yang, and he was quite personable.
Two taxis drove one after the other towards Mr. Lai's former residence. This was my first time in Vietnam, and before that, I had the impression that Vietnam was only Viet Cong, with more women than men, and dirty, but the taxi ride from Hanoi airport to Mr. LĂŞ's old house completely changed my mind. Along the way, I saw a lot of different landscapes, from ancient Chinese buildings, to old French-style houses, to low-rise slum apartment complexes. There are not many cars on the road, motorcycles far outnumber the number of cars, and many women wear large hats and white dresses and ride motorcycles past.
Xiao Yang was curious about everything, and said to me: "Brother Tian, look, how beautiful those western-style buildings are, especially like the Five Great Avenues in Tianjin!" â
Fang Gang snorted: "Vietnam used to be a French colony, of course there are western-style buildings, which are rare and strange." â
"I know that your big brother Fang knows a lot, anyway, if I have any questions in the future, I will ask you directly!" Xiao Yang was not angry, and said with a smile, Fang Gang hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The air in Hanoi is great and the streets are very peaceful, just like most southern cities in China. The taxi turns into the alley, and the roadside is lined with green trees, and on both sides there are gray brick houses, far less luxurious than the western-style buildings, but they look comfortable. There were elderly people and children chatting with middle-aged men and women sitting in front of some shops, and the taxi stopped at the door of a private house.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Lai, everyone entered the house and saw a middle-aged man with an embarrassed expression sitting crookedly on the sofa. Seeing us come in, the middle-aged man supported his body and wanted to stand up, but almost fell, Ruan Van Dung hurriedly went over to support Mrs. Li and said: "This is my husband Li De Trong, although we have moved to Brunei, but the old house has been lived in for decades for two generations, and we are reluctant to sell it, so it is temporarily empty, please don't dislike it." "Shangzhen Shiji.
The two sides shook hands while introducing, and when Xiao Yang was introduced, before I could speak, she had already taken the initiative to report to her home, saying that she was my assistant. Mr. Li has been in business for a long time and knows the rules of talking about money, so when Mrs. Li went to make tea, he asked us for the air ticket itinerary and asked Ruan Van Dung to pay us in cash on the spot, and even Xiao Yang's was reimbursed.
There are a lot of fresh fruits on the coffee table, such as big mangoes, red heart fire dragons, durians, etc., which are very rich, and they are obviously specially bought to entertain us. Ruan Wenyong used a fruit knife to cut a few dragon fruits for us to eat, Fang Gang and I didn't move, but Xiao Yang ate it generously, which made Ruan Wenyong very happy.
Fang Gang looked Mr. Li up and down, his expression was like looking at some kind of goods. Mr. Li's expression was embarrassed and puzzled. Ruan Wenyong obviously showed an unhappy look on his face, I saw it in my eyes, and just wanted to find a topic to diverge, Fang Gang asked: "Mr. Li, show me the wounds on your body." â
Mr. Li glanced at Xiao Yang and hesitated. I hurriedly said to Xiao Yang: "You go and help Mrs. Li make tea, and chat with her by the way, and I'll call you later." â
Xiao Yang was very unhappy: "I'm your assistant, so can I just walk away?" â
Ruan Wenyong smiled: "Mr. Tian means to let you avoid suspicion." â
"I don't care about a girl, Boss Li is a big man, what is there to be ashamed of?" Xiao Yang replied seriously.
Ruan Wenyong was speechless for a moment, the four big men looked at each other, and they all showed helpless expressions, and Mr. Li had no choice but to say: "It's okay, Miss Yang doesn't need to avoid it, anyway, the wounds are all on the upper body, then it would be disrespectful." Although his Chinese pronunciation is stiff, he is still more particular about his diction. With the help of his brother-in-law, Mr. Li laboriously pulled the white shirt out of the belt and slowly unbuttoned it. He had a lot of gauze on his chest, some of which were faintly bloodstained. In addition to the gauze, the skin was covered with scratches that had dried up. There is the largest piece of gauze on the right chest, which Mr. Lai said was the earliest wound from a few months ago, and it has been scarred and can be opened for you to see.
