Chapter 148: The Financial Turmoil Helped a Little
I can feel that Liu Qingzhong really wants me to follow him well.
Of course, I'm going to continue to "behave" like this in the future β until I knock him out.
We chatted first, eating and watching the scenery in the yard at noon.
In fact, from the balcony outside the door to the courtyard, there is a floor-to-ceiling window separating us, and we can see all kinds of small animals in the yard.
It's a zoo in disguise.
"Secretary Liu, your cousin actually has some skills."
I deliberately pretended not to know, "I heard that there was a financial turmoil before, and many real estate markets collapsed, but he was able to maintain it like this?" β
"I did a little favor."
"It's all my own people, and I'll tell you something, my relatives are all from the countryside to climb the relationship."
Liu Qingzhong drank a lot of wine, and it can be regarded as a mouthful.
He wasn't very wary of me.
Of course, there are some key questions that I can't ask, that is, I can put some words in small talk.
According to Liu Qingzhong's own words, when he was a child, their family had a good relationship with Liu Qingyi's family.
Therefore, when he became the deputy secretary, Liu Qingyi's father came over to build a relationship, wanting his son to also get some light and make some money.
"So let him sit on a sideshow."
Liu Qingzhong said slowly, "If it weren't for my help, his real estate company wouldn't have to wait for the financial turmoil at all, and he would have collapsed." β
These can actually be used as evidence, but I didn't record them.
After that, there is more evidence that is fatal to Liu Qingzhong, and I don't need to pursue this one.
I just want to know from Liu Qingzhong's mouth about the general relationship between him and Liu Qingyi's real estate company.
The goal has been achieved, and I have a few "extra gains" along the way:
Liu Qingzhong looked slightly drunk and half drunk, but in fact, he was not wary of me.
This means that I have slowly penetrated into his inner circle, and I am only one step away from becoming the key confidant who can reveal everything!
After finishing the meal, Liu Qingzhong took the opportunity to settle the bill.
If it's my first time here, I'll probably be jaw-dropping by the price.
Of course, this is not the first time I've eaten here.
Gradually, just a few steaks and a few barbecues cost a full 10,000 pieces.
At this price, the robbery is not as fast as they make.
Liu Qingzhong signed the list after swiping the card, and took me out.
The driver was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Liu Qingzhong open the door, he immediately went up to greet him.
At this point, I sensed something was wrong.
Even though I've seen this driver many times, he's been so reticent that I barely know him.
But as long as Liu Qingzhong goes out, it seems that this driver has always been there.
Silent and secrecy enough......
I'm going to approach the driver and see if I can get anything out of him.
"I'm here to help."
I said I put on my shoes and helped me to the other side.
Only then did I realize that I hadn't looked closely at the driver at all.
While helping Liu Qingzhong back to the car, I looked at the driver carefully.
The driver was young, about the same age as me.
He was wearing light-colored sunglasses all the time, as if to hide something.
I don't know why, the more I think about Liu Qingzhong.
Maybe it's a delusion.
"Brother, it's hard work."
He and I worked together to send Liu Qingzhong, who was a little heavy, into the car, and I patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly.
"It's fine."
He just replied with these two words lightly, and then got into the car with a blank face, ready to drive.
I was a little stunned, I don't know if this is a delusion, but ......
There was some hostility in his eyes......
"Send Shen Fan back first."
After I got in the car, Liu Qingzhong spoke slowly, as if he was still drunk.
I didn't have a good deal with this driver in the car, so I thought I would find a chance to talk to him alone later.
When I arrived at Xintiandi, I went straight out of the car.
Of course, when I got out of the car, I still said thank you to him.
I don't know where his hostility came from, but I have a vague sense that this is a crisisβa dangerous opportunity.
When I got home, I saw the leftover pizza on the table and all kinds of bags and boxes, and I knew they had a big meal.
But before I could speak, Su Yu couldn't wait to run over.
"How? What do you think? β
"Where did you go to eat with Liu Qingzhong?"
Su Yu's face was full of curiosity and expectation.
Maybe she wants me to take it with her, too.
"I don't know what it is, it's expensive and unpalatable."
I shook my head slightly, "A luxury mountain villa in the suburbs." β
"Huh?"
"I think I've eaten it, the one with a zoo in the suburbs, right?"
Su Yu said with some disappointment, "That thing is rubbish!" My grandfather didn't want to eat it after eating it once! β
Indeed, apart from being expensive, the villa has no other features.
"Let's prepare for the New Year."
"Is it all arranged?"
I waved my hand slightly to turn the conversation back to the Chinese New Year.
"It's all ready!"
Su Yu said excitedly, "You will definitely like it very much!" β
"It's pretty much good, save some money."
I smiled and looked at Chen Cheng.
"Why are you sad today?"
I sat on the couch, next to Chen Cheng.
"Chen Lihe has been here."
Su Yu opened his mouth and said, "That guy actually wants to hide from us!" β
"Hide?"
Only then did I remember that Chen Lihe had been "publicly declared" to be an undercover agent, and if he dared to swagger in Hezhou, it was estimated that there was only one way out.
"We're kicking him out!"
Su Yu opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to be angry when I see that rotten gambler!" β
At least in the matter of Chen Lihe, Chen Cheng and Su Yu are on the same front.
"Just get out of here, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"He's looking for you, and he's been looking for you in several places."
After Su Yu's reminder, I found out that there were a bunch of missed calls on my mobile phone - all of them were Chen Lihe's.
I thought about it, even if I want him to get out of Hezhou, I have to let him have a way.
I'm going to keep him alive to experience what it's like to be tortured.
"I'll deal with Chen Lihe."
"Otherwise, he will come to harass him in the future."
I said and patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder.
Walking out the door, I called Chen Lihe's phone.
"Oops, you've finally answered the phone!"
"I was having dinner with Secretary Liu before, is there anything wrong?"
I asked, deliberately pretending not to know anything.
"I don't know why I became their undercover agent, son-in-law, only you can help me!"
I heard a hint of happiness in Chen Lihe's voice.
"How do you want me to help?"
"Only you can prove that I am innocent!"
He said and gave an address, "We'll see you over there, you'll have to help me!" β
"Okay, I'll be right here."
Having said that, I didn't plan to go at all, always just in case.
I hung up the phone and went downstairs in thought.
Just when I went downstairs, Yu Wenbo was waiting for me downstairs.
"Brother Shen, there's news over there."
"We said in the car."
