On this day, the weather was fine and fine, and the clouds were fine and dense.
After hearing what Ye Chu said, Qin Xiao decided to go to Hengxing Tea House.
Before, Qin Xiao concealed his participation in the black market competition in order not to worry the Cheng Da couple.
Because if Cheng Da and his wife knew, they would stop him and prevent him from going to Shanghai.
After arriving in Shanghai, Qin Xiao did not contact Cheng Da, because if they asked what he was doing, he didn't know what to say.
A few days ago, Cheng Da and his wife called Qin Xiao and told them that when Cheng Er bullied them, a girl named Ye Chu helped them.
Ye Chu not only helped them get the deeds back, but also hired the best doctor for them.
Qin Xiao attaches great importance to love and righteousness. Ye Chu has helped Cheng Da's family so much, and he will remember this kindness.
Although I don't know what Ye Chu wants to do with himself, as long as Ye Chu speaks, he will definitely help her.
Qin Xiao came to Hengxing Tea House, walked to the room he had arranged for, opened the door, and walked in.
The door was closed, and the cold air was blocked outside.
The sun shone into the room, shining brightly.
Qin Xiao looked up, there were two people sitting in the room.
The young girl is young, with a slender figure and a very cold face.
Sitting on the left side of the girl was a man, who was cold and cold, with a cold temperament.
They also looked up at Qin Xiao.
Ye Chu stood up first and said, "Mr. Qin, I was the one who went to Jinzhou that day. My name is Ye Chu."
Then, she pointed to the man next to her: "This gentleman's surname is Lu."
Ye Chu motioned Qin Xiao to sit down and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Qin Xiao took the seat, with a sincere tone: "Miss Ye, there is nothing you can do without merit. If you have anything you need me to do, just speak up."
"Although my ability is limited, I will do my best to accomplish what you have explained."
Ye Chu looked at Lu Huai, and their eyes met.
Qin Xiao really valued love and righteousness.
Ye Chu helped Qin Xiao's brother, and Qin Xiao made such a promise, which shows that he is kind-hearted.
Ye Chu asked, "Mr. Qin, have you ever heard of Peace Hotel?"
Qin Xiao shook his head. His hometown is in Jinzhou. He has only recently come to Shanghai, so naturally he has never heard of the Peace Hotel.
Ye Chu said: "The Peace Hotel has always maintained order in Shanghai, and this Mr. Lu is the owner of the Peace Hotel."
"Mr. Lu is impartial in his actions, and the most just can't be more fair. If someone else encounters something unfair and asks for help at the Peace Hotel, the Peace Hotel will protect him."
Qin Xiao looked at Lu Huai with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Lu Huai said lightly: "The black market competition is extremely cruel, and we want to ban this competition."
After a pause, Lu Huai said, "It is not easy to ban the black market competition. This requires an opportunity."
Lu Huai glanced at Qin Xiao: "And we need someone who can break the rules."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao slightly guessed the purpose of what they called themselves today.
A few days ago, he participated in the first few matches of the black market competition and has already seen the cruelty of the black market competition.
The game was extremely cold-blooded, and everyone struggled with their lives. If this game continues, I don't know how many people will lose their lives.
Since Mr. Lu is the owner of the Peace Hotel, he must not understand the extremely inhumane competitions like black market martial arts.
However, the black market competition is held by Hongmen, and other forces must be involved behind the scenes. If you want to completely ban this competition, how easy is it to say
Mr. Lu and Miss Ye had this idea, and Qin Xiao admired it very much.
Qin Xiao pondered for a moment, and said: "To participate in the black market competition, you must sign a death agreement. I have already signed a death agreement. If I withdraw from the competition halfway, I think Hongmen will not let me go."
"And I've heard that Master Qiao from Hongmen does nothing by any means, and if I do this, Master Qiao will definitely attack me."
Then, Qin Xiao said a word.
"However, I am willing to help Mr. Lu and Miss Ye with this favor. I believe the Peace Hotel can protect me at that time."
Qin Xiao said every word, his tone was extremely firm.
Lu Huai and Ye Chu looked at each other, a smile appeared in their eyes.
They were right. Qin Xiao was the best candidate to ban the black market competition.
Originally, they thought of another gentler approach, but it would be more complicated to implement.
Now, this suggestion made by Qin Xiao is the most suitable.
Lu Huai asked again: "This matter is extremely difficult, are you sure you want to do this?"
Qin Xiao is determined: "I'm sure."
As soon as these words were said, it proved that he and Lu Huai Ye Chu had reached a cooperation. They had stood on the same boat and worked together for a goal.
Lu Huai smiled suddenly: "Mr. Qin, I hope we can cooperate happily."
Qin Xiao's tone was firm: "Miss Ye, Mr. Lu, I will definitely go all out."
…
The light in the room was dim, without a trace of light.
Suddenly there was a "pop", and the switch of the small light on the table was pressed, and the room instantly became brighter.
The dim light came on, making the man even colder.
His back is straight, slightly indifferent, and it is easy to create distance.
The man took out a map of East China, spread it on the table, and pressed the four corners of the map with something.
His gaze stopped at a location on the map, and he hadn't moved away for a long time.
The door was knocked, and the night was silent, and a single sound could be amplified several times.
"Come in." The man said.
The door opened, his subordinates entered, and walked to the table, restrained in his actions, and did not dare to be a little presumptuous.
He saw a map spread out on the table, very flat, without any wrinkles.
"Master." The subordinates respectfully.
The man lowered his head, put his finger on the map, and clicked on his location in Shanghai.
Every time it strikes, the heart of the subordinates is raised a bit.
"Is Shanghai too peaceful recently? Let's find something to do to make Shanghai chaotic."
The man's voice was low and his tone couldn't stand his beak.
The subordinate nodded, and immediately accepted the task.
…
The car departed from the Governor's Mansion and drove straight to the Ye Mansion.
Lu Huai had already discussed the reason with Su Lan. Although Su Lan was still worried, he did not stop Ye Chu and Lu Huai from communicating.
Only Su Lan knew about Ye Chu and Lu Sanshao's contact, she couldn't publicize the matter.
It happened to be convenient for Ye Chu, she didn't need to find other excuses, and she didn't need to sneak out sneakily.
After saying hello to his mother, Ye Chu went directly out of the Ye Mansion and got in the car of the Warlord's Mansion.
Lu Huai was already in the car, and Ye Chu was sitting next to him.
Lu Huai slowly started the car and drove to the Chinachem Hotel.
The car drove smoothly, and there was silence in the car, but it was not embarrassing.
Lu Huai suddenly said, "I'll take you to the Chinachem Hotel first. Something has happened in the Peace Hotel. I need to go over and deal with it."
When he was about to leave the Warlord’s Mansion, Lu Huai received a call from the Peace Hotel and he had to go there.
Lu Huai had no choice but to send Ye Chu to the hotel first and then leave. He would try to deal with it quickly before going to the Chinachem Hotel to meet Ye Chu.
Ye Chu nodded: "Okay."
Lu Huai tilted his head to look at her: "It won't be too long, I will be back soon."
Ye Chu also raised his eyes to look at him: "You can handle things with peace of mind, and I will protect myself."
The two looked at each other, and Lu Huai looked at Ye Chu's eyes, and suddenly remembered the promise he had made with Ye Chu's mother that he would not put Ye Chu in a dangerous situation.
Protect her, that is what he has to do.
Ye Chu's mother discovered that they met in the middle of the night, and Lu Huai could imagine how nervous she would be.
Although the two had met before, they were all talking about black market competitions.
A few days have passed, and it is not too embarrassing to mention this now.
Lu Huai asked suddenly: "Did your mother be very angry that night?"
Lu Huai's eyes were clear and he looked at Ye Chu without moving for a moment.
Ye Chu suddenly felt hot on his face, avoiding Lu Huai's sight, and turning his head to the side.
"Mother was very worried at first, but after calling you, her mood recovered a lot."
Ye Chu told the facts euphemistically, but Lu Huai immediately understood the meaning of the words.
As the car drove all the way, the neon lights outside flickered and the light flashed across Ye Chu's face.
Lu Huai found that her ears were red.
After a while, Ye Chu was a little curious: "What did you say to my mother? My mother's attitude changed a lot."
Lu Huai started: "Your mother and I promise that you will not be harmed."
Lu Huai's voice was deep, but it was reassuring.
The next two did not continue to talk because the Chinachem Hotel had already arrived.
Ye Chu got out of the car, but Lu Huai was still sitting in the car and didn't get off.
When he was about to turn around, Lu Huai stopped Ye Chu.
"Ye Chu, be careful yourself."
Ye Chu smiled: "So are you."
The two separated at the entrance of the Chinachem Hotel, one going in and the other going forward.
Lu Huai sat in the car and drove forward. Ye Chu turned around and stepped on the steps in front of the Chinachem Hotel.
The two rooms that Lu Huai had booked at the Chinachem Hotel were both on the second floor. Ye Chu went upstairs directly.
Not long after Ye Chu entered, a man also arrived at the door of the hotel.
Although it was night, there were still a lot of people on the street, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going.
Others walked hurriedly, and this man walked gracefully, not quite the same as the others.
He was wearing a straight black suit, well-cut, with a cane in his right hand.
The crutches touched the ground and rang softly, again and again.
But the man's legs are neat, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
The man stopped in front of the Chinachem Hotel and walked straight in.
The man seemed to have an appointment. He walked directly upstairs. The carpet was covered with steps, and he fell silent.
At this moment, the people at Chinachem Hotel were doing their own things, and no one would notice that the man on crutches went upstairs.
The corridor is very long and there are many people coming and going.
A woman wearing a dark green cheongsam drank too much and wanted to come out to blow the hair. She just opened the door and walked out, and ran into the man.
The man wears a black hat with the brim of the hat extremely low.
When the woman was about to bump into the man, the man drew sideways, and imperceptible disgust flashed across his drooping face.
This sudden situation did not attract the woman's attention. She continued to go to the other side of the corridor, and the man left in the opposite direction.
After walking for a while, the man stopped in front of a room. He knocked on the door and did not speak.
A voice soon came from the room, an important government official whose surname was Wei.
"who is it?"
There was no response from outside the door, and after a while, the door lock twisted a few times from the inside.
Mr. Wei opened the door, and he saw a strange man standing at the door, his head slightly lowered, his expression unclear.
The light in the corridor here is dim. Mr. Wei squinted his eyes and carefully identified: "Who are you?"
The person still didn't answer, Mr. Wei suddenly felt something was wrong, and in the next second, he immediately closed the door.
At the moment when the door was about to close, a crutch got stuck in the crack of the door, and the door couldn't close.
Mr. Wei didn't know who he provoked, but the person in front of him was obviously unkind.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he pressed hard against the door, his hands trembling, but the crutch was against the door, blocking his behavior.
At this time, Mr. Wei desperately thought about countermeasures, if he remained in a stalemate, he would definitely not be able to escape.
The man outside didn't give Mr. Wei too much time to think about it. With his crutches raised, the door was opened a lot in an instant.
No matter how much Mr. Wei struggles, it will be of no avail.
"Help!" Mr. Wei's voice was hoarse, and he finally uttered the cry from his throat.
The man pushed the door open, and Mr. Wei immediately ran into the room to fight for the last chance to escape.
In the eyes of the man, the behavior in front of him is just a dying struggle for him.
Mr. Wei's legs were weak and he tried to avoid the man.
The man walked into the room and walked straight to Mr. Wei, his foot hooked back and closed the door accurately.
The door lock was closed with a "click", shutting all the conditions inside the room, and the people outside didn't know it.
The man strode forward, and in a few steps he caught up with Mr. Wei who was trying to escape.
He raised the crutches, holding the bottom end of the crutches with his other hand, parallel in front of him.
The man picked up the crutches, went around Mr. Wei's neck, and pressed it firmly against his neck. With both hands, his throat was instantly tightened.
Mr. Wei felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation and attacked him.
He instinctively stretched his hand to grab the crutch around his neck, trying to pull it away.
But the people behind him would not give Mr. Wei a chance to breathe. Mr. Wei's face turned blue, and the air in his lungs was gradually exhausted.
In stark contrast to Mr. Wei, the man who killed his life was expressionless and seemed to be doing the most common thing.
It didn't take long for Mr. Wei to stop struggling, his eyes were open and there was no heartbeat.
The man knew that Mr. Wei was no longer breathing, and his whole body fell down. He knew that Mr. Wei was dead.
The man pulled Mr. Wei onto the stool next to him, and leaned his head on the table, as if he was asleep.
After handling everything, the man straightened out his messy suit and walked to the door.
He opened the door, walked out, and then closed the door.
The man leaned on a cane and walked in the same direction. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion, he was just a guest passing by here.
But what he has to do is to cause panic.
The man didn't leave the Chinachem Hotel immediately. He stopped a waiter not far after he walked out.
"The people in that room seem to need help, please check it out."
The waiter immediately agreed and walked to Mr. Wei's room.
Ye Chu sat in his room, waiting for Lu Huai.
She took out her pocket watch, the cover was popped open, and the second hand ticked away.
Lu Huai has been away for a while, and if they were to go to the black market to compete, he should be coming soon.
Ye Chu put away the pocket watch, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door, and the sound of footsteps was disorderly.
Ye Chu frowned, got up and walked to the door.
She opened the door and found that there were more people in the hallway, and the guests were disturbed and pushing each other.
Everyone looked extremely anxious, as if they were hiding something behind them.
Everyone pushed downstairs, letting no one.
Ye Chu was puzzled, not knowing what happened, causing everyone to run around.
"Dead, dead, a man was killed!" A woman passing in front of Ye Chu shouted while running.
Her voice suddenly sounded and fell into the crowd, adding a fire to the already boiling water.
Panic is the fastest emotion that can spread between people. When everyone is confused, the fear in their hearts will continue to expand.
Some people who don't know the inside story just ran with everyone.
Now that I know the facts, my steps are even more flustered.
Ye Chu panicked, his eyes sank suddenly. Her thoughts were so confused, she didn't know who the dead person was.
Ye Chu knew in his heart that that person would not be Lu Huai. Lu Huai was able to protect herself, but she still couldn't help worrying.
After she counted the time, Lu Huai was almost there.
Ye Chu never dared to imagine whether Lu Huai would be surprised.
Ye Chu didn't know where the accident was. At this moment, she lost all judgment. Only Lu Huai was in her mind.
The overhead lights were shining brightly, and the ground was pale.
Ye Chu squeezed into the crowd, trying to find Lu Huai's figure.
She was shouting, screaming, and noisy, but she couldn't understand anything.
The crowds are dense, they push others, trying to find a way to escape.
Ye Chu was squeezed and pushed around by the crowd, looking around, carefully identifying the people around him.
At this time, a black car stopped in front of the Chinachem Hotel, and Lu Huai got out of the car.
He quickly noticed something was wrong, the people in the Chinachem Hotel were in chaos, and their faces were anxious.
Lu Huai frowned and strode inside.
Lu Huai listened to the voices of those people, and he knew that there was an accident in the Chinachem Hotel, and people were dead inside.
His mind went blank, and the sound beside him could no longer reach his ears.
Lu Huai's face darkened inch by inch. The place of the accident was on the second floor, and Ye Chu was also on the second floor.
Lu Huai's heart tightened and immediately walked to the top of the stairs.
The people upstairs ran down desperately, except that Lu Huai was different from the others. He walked upstairs in the opposite direction from them.
He wants to confirm that Ye Chu is fine.
The crowd was crowded, and people kept hitting him, but Lu Huai didn't notice it.
Ye Chu followed the crowd and walked down.
Lu Huai ran up against the crowd.
They walked in such a hurry, they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, they wanted to see each other as soon as possible.
How is he now
Is she safe and sound
The person he was reading was her.
She was also reading him.
…
Somehow, the two seemed to be aware of something.
Their footsteps halted.
The two raised their heads at the same time, just to meet each other's eyes.
It's clearly noisy and chaotic.
But at the moment Lu Huai and Ye Chu saw each other.
The surrounding sounds gradually fell silent, and all the surrounding noise abruptly stopped.
They stared at each other, the worry in their eyes did not have time to hide, time was far away.
As if knowing that the other person is also looking for himself.
The heart quieted down suddenly.
The author has something to say: restraint and forbearance emotions.
small theater:
Su Lan: What do you think
Lu Huai: I want to protect her, I want to pursue her, I want to marry her...
Su Lan: What did you say the other day
Lu Huai: You believe what I said
