Jiang Fuyue: "Aren't you trying to mess with me?"
Hu Ben: "?"
"I don't even have the basic ability to judge. What are you using to mess with me? Fortunately, I finally realized it."
"… you!"
"What, it's a surprise?" Jiang Fuyue poured tea into his cup, her bare hands were slender, and the steam wafted up, "A person's potential is like this glass, how much it can hold, you will only know after trying it."
Hu Ben was silent for a while, Xiao Liu felt the increasingly tense atmosphere, and dared not speak.
"... So, am I qualified?"
Jiang Fuyue: "Of course."
He picked up a plastic bag from his feet and put it on the table, "You gave 100,000 and spent 60,000, which is left over. The ledger is also in it, and every expense is recorded."
Jiang Fuyue didn't move, just glanced at it: "Take it and divide it."
Hu Ben: "?"
"Brother—" Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, and he bumped into his shoulder.
The man reacted, but frowned suddenly, "I said before, this is not a transaction, and no payment is required."
"Who said this is a reward?" Jiang Fuyue took a sip of tea.
"what is that?"
"award."
Hu Ben and Xiao Liu looked at each other.
Jiang Fuyue put down the teacup: "In my place, those who can do things have meat to eat."
Hu Ben: "... Thank you miss."
Jiang Fuyue stood up, "Take the money and follow me."
The two immediately followed.
…
Half an hour later, the largest shopping mall in CBD.
The fourth floor, men's clothing area.
"This set, and this set, take it and try it."
Hu Ben and Xiao Liu were "at a loss" with confused expressions.
"buying clothes?"
Jiang Fuyue: "Otherwise? Robbery?"
Clerk: "?" That's not necessarily the case.
Hu Ben coughed lightly, turned his back and pressed his throat: "This... I'm not used to wearing clothes, so there's no need!"
Suits and leather shoes, he is not that material.
Xiao Liu hastily nodded to show his agreement. A monkey doesn't look like a human in clothes, so he's happy to be a monkey.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyes: "This is a mission."
Hu Ben: "?"
"Time is running out," she raised her wrist to look at her watch, "Hurry up."
Hu Ben, Xiao Liu: "Yes!"
Clerk: "?" How can buying clothes be the same as going to the battlefield
Two minutes later, the door of the fitting room was ajar, and Hu Ben pulled and pasted it—
"Well, let me ask... how do you wear this thing?"
The male clerk stepped forward immediately.
Xiao Liu said softly, "I want it too."
"..."
While waiting, Jiang Fuyue sat on the sofa, turned her phone horizontally, and tapped back and forth on the screen.
At first glance it looks like a game.
But in fact, the floor plan and three-dimensional map of the restaurant that Hu Ben found were presented in front of her at 360 degrees without any dead ends.
The line of sight flicks over every detail, and the size data can be seen from the corner of the eye.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door, with the unique spirit and publicity of a teenager.
"Bring me all the limited editions of your season here, young master, I will choose slowly!"
A group of waiters quickly gathered around—
"Master Zhong is here! Please come inside."
"The limited edition you want is ready, just waiting for you to come to the store to try it out! There are also several high-end sets specially transferred from the headquarters of country F, which are unique in the world."
"..."
Zhong Ziang nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words: "Okay, the movements are quite quick."
"Mrs. Zhong is a top member of our brand. How dare we neglect the fact that she said hello?"
"Okay, let my mother come to you to brush a few more bags later."
"Hey!" The waiter smiled.
Zhong Ziang was led to walk in, but suddenly stopped, and stared blankly at the girl on the sofa looking down at her mobile phone.
In the next second, he blinked hard to make sure it was not an illusion.
"Jiang Fuyue?! Why are you here?" He hurried over.
"Why can't I be here?" The girl raised her eyes, her dark pupils brightened.
"This is a men's clothing store!"
"so what?"
Zhong Ziang was taken aback for a moment, then twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled: "Okay, it's good, since we met, it's fate, just help me choose."
As he spoke, he retreated to the side, and saw dozens of shop assistants standing in a row carrying suits, and matching leather shoes, ties, and cufflinks were placed on the low cabinets.
Zhong Ziang: "Tell me, which one should I try first?"
Jiang Fuyue remained expressionless: "What's none of my business?"
"No... Young Master, I'm giving you face. How many people don't want it? Do you understand?"
"don't know."
"..."
Zhong Ziang vomited blood in anger.
Jiang Fuyue sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened, continuing to play with her mobile phone.
The young master couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed forward to grab him, but Jiang Fuyue got up and dodged, retreating three meters away.
"Why, you want to be beaten when your skin itches?" She laughed.
Zhong Ziang: "!"
I can't afford it, what can I do? I am also very helpless!
"Cough... Didn't I just ask you to help me pick out some clothes, so why are you so fierce?" He mumbled in a low voice.
Jiang Fuyue smiled: "You can speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."
"...Don't say good things a second time." His mouth was still firm.
Zhong Ziang rolled his eyes, remembering his mother's enthusiasm for clothes and bags, and suddenly felt blessed: "Hey, Jiang Fuyue, we are all classmates, there is no need to be so stiff, right?"
Quietly watched him perform.
But Zhong Ziang took her acquiescing, and a trace of complacency could not help but rise to the brows: "You can choose anything in this store, you can take what you want, and the young master pays the bill, but you have to promise me one condition."
"Oh?" Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows, seeming to be interested, and she no longer had that indifferent look, "What condition? Let's hear it."
"Be my girlfriend."
Zhong Ziang thought about it, as long as Jiang Fuyue nods, he will immediately contact Yi Ci, and let him win the bet first.
As for Jiang Fuyue...
At worst, give her a few more bags, or give her cash, it's considered a reward.
"Girlfriend?" The girl pursed her lips, and the end of her eyes followed.
The beautiful peach blossom eyes are no longer a clear light, but sparkling with waves, exuding an irresistible charm, which easily makes people indulge in it and lose their minds.
The boy choked for breath and couldn't help swallowing: "You..."
Jiang Fuyue stepped closer.
As the distance between the two became shorter and shorter, Zhong Ziang was enveloped by a sweet fragrance. He clearly saw the danger and treachery in the girl's eyes, but he was damnably unable to move away.
In the next second, the fragrance intensified, and he was grasped by the neckline with slender hands, and moved forward.
Looking at each other, Zhong Ziang clearly heard his own abnormal heartbeat.
Plop-puff-
"It seems that you really deserve a beating." She smiled and dropped her fist.
Zhong Ziang tilted his head to avoid it, clasped the girl's wrist belatedly, and murmured uncontrollably—
"You smell so good..."
At this moment, the doors of the two fitting rooms were opened from the inside, Hu Ben and Xiao Liu had changed into the whole suit, and were about to come out to let Jiang Fuyue palm their eyes, unexpectedly they saw such a scene.
The two quickly rushed forward, one on the left and the other on the right to set up Zhong Ziang.
"Stinky boy, it's too long to use your hands and feet in broad daylight, right?"
"Dare to tease Sister Yue, I will let you know why Hua'er is so popular today!"
Zhong Ziang: "?"
Where are the two savages
There was no time to resist, and he was taken a few steps away from Jiang Fuyue in a blink of an eye.
"Let me go! Do you know who the young master is?!" Zhong Ziang's hands were bound, and only his legs were left kicking around in the air.
It looked funny and ridiculous, and the temperament of the rich young master disappeared immediately.
Hu Ben: "It doesn't matter who you are, if you fall into Master Hu's hands, you have to be a grandson obediently!"
"Believe it or not, I made it difficult for you to survive in Linhuai?!"
"Do not believe."
"..." Knock! There is no way.
Hu Ben turned his questioning gaze to Jiang Fuyue: How to deal with it
The latter loosened his wrist and put it down: "Throw it out."
Hu Ben and Xiao Liu executed it immediately.
All the shop assistants whispered quietly, not daring to open their mouths.
Tangtang Young Master Zhong was just thrown out like a bag of trash.
Hu Ben stood in front of him condescendingly, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Little brat, if you dare to behave badly to her in the future, Master Hu will teach you how to behave yourself."
Jiang Fuyue settled the bill, and the group of three left.
The clerk hurried forward to help Zhong Ziang up: "Is Young Master Zhong all right?"
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Don't you want face? !
…
However, Huben and Xiaoliu, who left the shopping mall, were dressed so neatly for the first time, and they almost had the same hands and feet when crossing the road.
"Didn't it come naturally when you repaired people just now? Why aren't you used to it now?"
Hu Ben coughed lightly: "... I'm not used to it, I didn't have time to think too much just now."
"Then don't think too much." Jiang Fuyue raised her eyes, "You need to wear this outfit tonight and do something for me."
Hu Ben was about to respond, but Jiang Fuyue raised his hand to stop him: "This matter is risky, think it through before answering."
Hu Ben grinned: "My answer has always been clear, so what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Liu nodded: "I am also very clear!"
From the moment they decided to follow Jiang Fuyue, they had already made a choice.
Life is too long, you have to mix up your personality!
…
That night.
On the side of the road with endless traffic, inside an abandoned public phone booth.
The man inserts the card and dials.
The night covered his facial features, and he could only vaguely see a five-centimeter scar at the brow bone, passing through his eyebrows, leaving a bald mark.
After a long beep, the other end connected, but there was nothing for a while.
It seems to be waiting for this side to take the initiative to speak.
Hu Ben fulfilled his wish: "Do you want to go to the restaurant? I want to order one hundred and one tables and one play."
The other end was silent for two seconds: "Sorry, you made a mistake. We are Yufeng Kitchen, not some idle restaurant."
"But someone told me that this number is Dexianfanzhuang."
"... You said you want to book one hundred and one seats?"
"That's right."
"Which play is that play? Magu presents her birthday? Or is the imperial concubine drunk?"
Hu Ben: "I think it's better for the Dragon King to recruit a son-in-law."
"Sorry, we don't have this out."
"The sky is blue, the Dragon King of the Sea is recruiting a son-in-law, welcoming the groom, ghosts are approaching, far away, the son-in-law is kneeling and bowing to his father-in-law, and bull-headed horse faces are standing on both sides. Are you sure?"
"... At two o'clock in the morning, Dexian Restaurant, on the third floor."
After the other end finished speaking, hang up directly.
Hu Ben walked out of the phone booth, opened the door of the black Mercedes parked on the side of the road, and sat down in the back seat.
Wearing an expensive suit with a fierce and domineering expression, one of the collar buttons is undone, showing wildness and wildness.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Xiao Liu exchanged a glance with him through the mirror.
Hu Ben: "Go to Yufeng Kitchen."
On the co-pilot seat, that figure never spoke. The peaked cap blocked most of her face, and she was dressed in a suit and trousers. At first glance, she looked the same as Xiao Liu, except that her frame was slightly thinner.
…
At 1:45 in the morning, Yufeng Kitchen is still open.
"welcome."
Hu Ben walked in the front, followed by two "little brothers" from left to right.
The waiter smiled: "Do you have an appointment?"
"have."
"What number is the private room?"
"301."
The waiter was taken aback, looking at Hu Ben with a strange look in his eyes, but his smile remained unchanged, and he said respectfully, "Sir, I'm sorry, our restaurant only has two floors, and your private room starts with 3... This, it's impossible."
"Really?" Hu Ben's voice was deep and pointed, "You think about it again?"
After listening to the waiter, he didn't deny it anymore, but really pondered it carefully.
It took a while before he asked, "May I ask why you are going to the third floor?"
"Listen to the play."
"What drama?"
"The Dragon King is looking for a son-in-law."
"Listen first, or buy a ticket first?"
"Both money and goods."
The waiter's complexion changed, and he suddenly became solemn, and bowed ninety degrees: "Three, please—"
Under the leadership of the waiter, the three of them entered the elevator, and the moment the metal door opened, their eyes suddenly lit up.
In the quiet and spacious hall, as far as the eye can see, a group of leather sofas are clustered around the small-leaf red sandalwood round table, and the white curtain hanging in the air covers the surveillance video inside and outside the restaurant.
Hu Ben noticed with sharp eyes that the abandoned telephone box he had used before was also on it.
In other words, since he made that call, his every move has been monitored!
This realization made the back of his neck shudder, and his hair stood on end.
But the more this is the case, the more calm you have to be.
He adjusted his breathing and looked around, only to see the red carpet on the floor, green emerald decorations, and the entire hall was extraordinarily gorgeous.
The men in black lined up on both sides. They were burly and serious.
Suddenly, footsteps came from ahead, and after a while, an old man in Tang suit turned around the corner.
He is thin and thin, with gray temples, but with sharp eyes and a strong aura, he looks like someone who has been in the upper class for a long time.
While Hu Ben was looking at the old man, the old man was also looking at him.
A very young guy, wearing a suit and trousers, seems to be regular, but two collar buttons are unbuttoned, revealing half of his chest, with an unruly expression, and the old scar on the brow bone is even more wild.
"It's you who called to book one hundred and one seats?" the old man said in a deep voice.
"It's mainly for listening to the opera." Hu Ben said, "The Dragon King recruits a son-in-law."
The old man's eyes were slightly cold, and a coldness suddenly appeared: "Young man, you are not small! In twenty years, you are the first one who dares to order this play!"
Hu Ben's expression remained unchanged: "If there is something that offends the Dragon King, please forgive me."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Long Tian, Mr. Long, people on the road call him 'Dragon King'."
"Hahaha..." The old man laughed loudly, "Interesting, so interesting! I haven't been in Jianghu for many years, I didn't expect that there are younger generations who know me."
Hu Ben: "Not only do I know that you are the 'Dragon King', I also know that ten years ago your only daughter died in an accident. The so-called 'Dragon King recruits a son-in-law' only recruits the dead."
Long Tian smiled suddenly: "Who the hell are you?"
Even his private affairs are known.
Hu Ben: "Old friend."
"Heh..." There was a sneer, "It's just hearsay and speculation, who would believe it?"
"Is it hearsay? You know, I know. Those who should believe it will naturally believe it."
Long Tian's old eyes narrowed slightly, "Young man, tell me about your purpose."
Hu Ben sat on the sofa, and the two behind him lined up left and right, like door gods.
"Why don't we catch up on the old days?"
The old man followed closely and sat down, doing good deeds: "What's old? How do you describe it?"
"Why don't you start with the fact that you were a salesman in Shangyue Village 20 years ago..."
Long Tian's complexion changed drastically, he stood up abruptly, and the men in black on both sides quickly surrounded them, and they were able to deal with the three of them on the spot just by giving an order.
Hu Ben's smile remained unchanged, and he changed to a more leisurely sitting posture.
Looking past the man in black, he fell directly on Long Tian's wrinkled face, "It's just reminiscing about the past, why are you nervous?"
"who are you?!"
"I just said it, old man, twenty years ago."
"Impossible! At your age, you were a baby twenty years ago, how could you know..."
"So, you admitted it?" Hu Ben smiled, his voice rising.
Long Tian pushed aside the man in black, walked up to him, lowered his voice, and held back his anger: "As the saying goes, curiosity will kill the cat. Since it's an old story, there's no need to dig it out, what do you think? "
Hu Ben spread his hands together: "I didn't mention the names, so why bother to be seated?"
"you!"
"However, in Shangyue Village 20 years ago, every household made a living by fishing at sea. There is a family named Long in the village. The father fishes, and the son sells goods. They are not very rich, but they are stable and smooth."
"It's a pity that a storm overturned the fishing boat, and my father was buried in the sea. The family was ruined overnight and the debts were heavy. The son had to leave his hometown and go out to make a living."
"Two years later, when he returned to the village again, he not only paid off his debts, but also became an upstart that everyone in the village envied. Guess why?"
Hu Ben didn't need to answer, and continued on his own: "Because, he met a nobleman!"
Long Tian's face turned blue.
"In the past two years, under the guidance of this nobleman, he not only made enough money, but also saw the rich and powerful world that ordinary people cannot touch."
"This person, suddenly rich and powerful, easily breeds ambition and covets things that don't belong to him. Originally, he didn't have this opportunity, but one day that nobleman seemed to encounter something, and suddenly handed over a huge financial group to him up, and disappear.”
"Originally, it was agreed that it was just an escrow, but as time passed, one month, one year, two years... The nobleman has never heard from him. He thought, can these things be his own?"
"Anyway, the real master has disappeared, maybe it's not necessarily dead, it's better to be dead."
Hu Ben: "That's it, he changed the face of the consortium, first the name, then the structure, and finally as long as all the insiders are eliminated, the consortium is in his pocket!"
As the story slowly unfolded, the details in the middle gradually emerged, and the old man's ugly face suddenly became extremely dark.
"How do you know this? Who are you?!" Long Tian stared at Hu Ben's face, trying to find traces similar to that person in his facial features.
Unfortunately, no!
"You are not his descendant!" Long Tian said firmly, "But why do you know this... Lou Sheng told you?!"
"No... Impossible... He has disappeared for twenty years... It is impossible to come back..."
Men in Guangdong Province usually use their surname plus a "sheng", which means "Mr. X".
Lou Sheng is "Mr. Lou".
Hu Ben stood up with a sneer, and approached: "Why is it impossible?"
He raised his eyes and glanced at the men in black around him: "You used the money from the consortium to recruit soldiers and buy horses? Long Tian, it's not yours to eat it reluctantly, and there will always be a day when you spit it out. Now is the time."
"What do you mean?" The old eyes jumped.
"Of course on behalf of Lou Sheng, take back his things!"
"No shame! Why do you represent him? What qualifications do you have to represent him? It was Lou Sheng who handed over the Yufeng Financial Group to me back then!"
Hu Ben chuckled, and took out something from his bosom, which was just big enough to hold in the palm of his hand: "That's all."
Long Tian took a closer look, and suddenly his body shook.
"Did you recognize it? This is Lou Sheng's private seal. Without this seal, you wouldn't be able to interfere in many decisions of the consortium, right?"
Long Tian: "Why is it in your hands?!"
Hu Ben smiled: "What do you think?"
"Impossible! He disappeared for twenty years..." Suddenly, he realized, "You are impersonating!"
After saying that, killing intent surged in his eyes.
Hu Ben seemed calm, but his back was already breaking out in cold sweat.
All the previous developments were within Jiang Fuyue's expectations. Before the action, she taught him how to deal with it. Even Long Tian's every word appeared during the rehearsal, so Hu Ben didn't panic at all.
But starting from this sentence of "pretending", Jiang Fuyue didn't teach the next plot!
what to do
Long Tian saw through the vanity in Hu Ben's eyes: "Sure enough, you are a counterfeit! Don't think that you can represent Lou Sheng with just a few words!"
As he said that, he suddenly approached and lowered his voice: "Even if you are real, if I think about it, you can become a fake!"
Hu Ben was taken aback.
Before he could react, the wind of the punch had arrived, and he dodged instinctively, the attack barely brushed his ears, and a burst of killing intent arose.
Hu Ben understood, the other party wanted to silence him!
Long Tian retreated to the safe area, raised his hand and waved: "Take it!"
The man in black moved upon hearing the news.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but wanted to rush up to help, but was stopped by the man wearing a peaked cap beside him.
"Brother Hu is in danger!" he exclaimed in surprise.
The man only replied in a low voice: "No hurry."
As soon as the voice fell, the originally bright room suddenly fell into darkness.
"what happened?"
"power cut!"
"Protect the Dragon King!"
"..."
In many cases, life and death are often only in the seconds.
When the lights came back on, the situation had already turned upside down—
The man in black who had been eyeing him was lying on the ground at this moment, and was trampled under his feet by the masked man in blue who poured in from nowhere.
The Dragon King, who was originally in the security center and issued orders, has also been reduced to a prisoner at this moment.
Suddenly, surrounded by strong men in blue lined up on both sides, leaving a path in the middle.
And Niu Chunhua and Niu Rui's mother and son walked slowly from it.
Niu Chunhua seemed a little nervous. After searching all around to no avail, she looked at her son anxiously: "Where is he?"
Didn't you say that you can see the so-called "new master" when you come to Huai
Niu Chunhua has a guess in her heart that is ready to be tested, which needs to be verified urgently.
Maybe... is that person back
Niu Rui didn't respond to her, and looked past Hu Ben and landed on the man in the peaked cap.
Hold still.
Niu Chunhua followed the trend, but couldn't see why.
In the next second, Niu Rui stepped forward, and Hu Ben and Xiao Liu retreated behind the man at the same time, lowering their eyes and closing their eyes in a respectful gesture.
Jiang Fuyue took off her hat, and slowly raised her eyes: "That's right, you came in time."
Niu Rui: "As soon as we received the news, we started to deploy."
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a female voice came in.
Jiang Fuyue turned her head slightly, her eyes met, one was calm and smiling, the other was full of doubts.
Twenty years of time did not seem to have left the slightest trace on the woman's face, she was still that glamorous Niu Chunhua.
Time has not only solidified her beauty, but also endowed her with a different style and charm.
While Jiang Fuyue was looking at her old friend, Niu Chunhua was also observing her.
A very beautiful girl, with black hair like a waterfall, skin as white as porcelain, a pair of peach blossom eyes that are clear to the bottom, bright and charming, but with an indifference that does not match her age, so that at first glance, she seems ruthless.
Such a look...
Niu Chunhua was stunned.
Almost exactly like that guy!
But the appearance is wrong, the height is wrong, the age is wrong, except for the eyes, everything is wrong!
"Who are you?!" She couldn't wait to ask again without getting a reply.
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips: "We just talked on the phone not long ago, I thought you knew."
"Mom!" Niu Rui stepped forward, "This is the owner of the Qianji Pendant, the new owner of our Qianji Pavilion!"
"Shut up! I didn't let you talk!"
Niu Rui: "?" Just, quite aggrieved.
Niu Chunhua didn't give a single corner of her eyes to her son, she stared straight at Jiang Fuyue, not missing any micro-expressions on her face.
"That day, on the phone, why did you say that I look good in a white cheongsam?"
"It's not 'white', it's 'moon white', it's different." Jiang Fuyue said lightly.
Niu Chunhua's pupils startled and suddenly tightened.
Back then, Lou Mingyue also corrected her.
Not only the words, but even the tone of voice are exactly the same!
"You, you are—"
