When Xia Shao and Xu Tianzhe were talking, Yuan Ze and others paid close attention to the two. When they saw Xia Shao's face darkening, Liu Xianxian stopped ordering and grabbed the menu in her hand. If Xu Tianzhe dared to offend Xia Shao, she He used the menu in his hand as a hidden weapon and flew over to kill him with one strike.
At this time, Xia Shao stood up and walked over. She sat down, glanced at the menu that Liu Xianxian was holding tightly, and asked, "Have you ordered the food?"
"It's ready!" Liu Xianxian raised her eyebrows and scratched the menu with her beautifully manicured nails - it's such a big piece!
The dishes she ordered were too much for several people to finish, and she obviously meant to kill Xu Tianzhe. Xu Tianzhe sat alone in the seat at the back. He didn't get up for a long time, his back frozen.
Yi Ni waited until the waiter was serving the food before coming. After sitting down, she heard that the Xu family was there. She left with a heavy face, and leaned over to ask Xia Shao in a low voice, "That evil woman's son? Can he be poisoned?"
"No." Xia Shao didn't even raise her eyes. Xu Tianzhe is more aware of current affairs than his parents, and he is willing to intercede for his parents. No matter what kind of people Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang are, it at least shows that he still cares about family affection. In this case, he is not hopeless yet. That day at Xu's house, she told her senior brother that there would always be people in the world who didn't care about him, and he had not lost anything. Those words were just to comfort him. She always hoped that there would be one more person in the world who cared about him.
But this time, the Xu family hurt her senior brother's feelings, and she would not return them to her senior brother's hands unless they were repaired and behaved!
At this time, the meals were being served one after another, and Yuan Ze and others didn’t know whether it was a tacit understanding or something else. This meal was clearly invited by Xu Tianzhe. There were still seats at the table, but they were full and squeezed the last seat into the corner. , almost invisible. Xu Tianzhe stood up and walked over. He didn't look at the seat, but looked at Xia Shao. There was always a complicated look in his eyes, "I will give it careful consideration to my sister-in-law. I will also give more advice to my parents. Therefore, I still hope that my request will be considered by my sister-in-law."
Xu Tianzhe's tone was sincere. After speaking, he had no intention of sitting down. He just nodded and said: "I won't disturb my sister-in-law and my friends for dinner. I have to go to the hospital to see my mother. I'll excuse you. Have a good meal." After that, he Went to pay the bill and left.
It wasn't until Xu Tianzhe's back disappeared from the restaurant that Liu Xianxian's eyes flashed with gossip and asked: "I saw this kid at the auction dance last time. Was he so good? What did you do to him?"
Xia Shao couldn't laugh or cry, what did she do to Xu Tianzhe
Yi Ni also asked next to her, "Is the old witch in the hospital? Is she going to die? I'll give her a lift!"
"Everyone, calm down, I will handle this matter." Xia Shao said.
"Did you do it?" Yuan Ze also asked. Xu Tianzhe didn't know that Hua Fang was hospitalized unless he said it. The news about this matter must have been blocked. If it was a normal illness, there would be no reason to block the news. It could only be that there was a big secret behind the hospitalization and it could not be made public.
Xia Shao was helpless. In fact, it was not convenient for many people to know these things, but although these friends were noisy, they were not loudmouths on key matters, so she omitted the important parts and gave a brief summary. I just said that I used some Feng Shui methods.
But the friends' eyes widened even more as they listened, and Liu Xianxian burst into laughter! At this time, there were several tables of students in the restaurant, and they all looked sideways after hearing the laughter. Xia Shao glanced at Liu Xianxian. Liu Xianxian covered her mouth. She still couldn't help laughing so hard that her flowers were trembling. She held her stomach, "Running naked... Running naked! You are still doing this when you are so old. Your taste really keeps up with the times..."
Yi Ni frowned and said, "Why don't you just kill her? If it were me, I would make this old witch die the most ugly death in history!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xianxian stopped laughing, and Yuanze and others looked at Yi Ni. They also felt that this girl was mysterious. Was there something special about her
Xia Shao shook her head and lowered her eyes, "There is a reason why she cannot die."
Neither Xu Yanshao nor Hua Fang can die. This is not just because Xia Shao is considering the old man's feelings, but if they die, the Xu family's power will be severely damaged, and then only the Wang family and the Jiang family will be happy. This would have a great impact on factional fighting and the political situation. From Xia Shao's heart, she still hoped that the Qin faction would be in power.
Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang deserved not death, but living punishment.
Wait! This matter is not that easy!
In addition to Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang, there is also the Wang family!
…
In the past few days, in addition to Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang's couple having been making fools of themselves in the upper class circles, the investigation of the case is also continuing.
The cases of Director Gao, Captain Feng and Police Officer Liang are easy to trial, especially Director Gao's. His crime was proven by the surveillance video at the time, and he was the first to be convicted. Mr. Ma testified against Captain Feng and Police Officer Liang for intimidating witnesses, and the torture was also monitored in the interrogation room at the time. As for Xie Changhai's accusation that the injuries on their bodies were caused by Captain Feng instructing Police Officer Liang, this was also testified by someone from the detention center at the time. This case is now a sensation in the capital. Everyone knows that Mr. Xu has been offended, and no one dares to cover up and conceal it. The search for witnesses went smoothly.
When the truth about the torture was revealed, Captain Zhou and others were reinstated.
Wang Zhuo's crime is still under investigation. He is the only son of the Wang family who has been constantly involved in the relationship between various parties since the beginning of the case. They also know that this case is the concern of those in power, so they dare not get too involved. After forming a faction, they focused on the evidence against their son.
In Yu Derong's confession that day, he said that Wang Zhuo promised him that if he retracted his confession, he would say hello to the people in the underground bank, and the money owed by Yu Derong's son in the underground bank could be written off. Wang Zhuo was doing business abroad and had contact with both black and white forces. With the Wang family's ability, they naturally found out about the underground bank.
The Wang family wanted to find the boss of the underground bank, give him a sum of money, and let him run away instead of waiting in the capital for the police to come and crack down. But coincidentally, when the Wang family found the underground bank, the bank was closed and the boss was missing.
This was originally a good thing for the Wang family, but what shocked the Wang family was that late at night two days later, a speedster gang threw the surveillance and photos of a man and Yu Derong's son entering the bank into the police station. The information also includes scenes of Yu Derong's son gambling, as well as details of the date and amount of money lost.
According to the photos, the police found Yu Derong's son and the person who entered the bank with him, and confirmed that they were employees of Wang Zhuoxi Pinzhai. Because Yu Derong often appraised antiques for Xipinzhai, his son also knew the employees of Xipinzhai. It was the person who dragged him into an underground bank to gamble, and after losing, he encouraged him to borrow money from the bank. Only then did Wang Zhuo use this matter as a condition to threaten to retract his confession in Derong Court.
The Wang family just felt like a bolt from the blue. They really didn't know who did this, but the unfavorable evidence did point to Wang Zhuo. In desperation, the Wang family also pointed out that the testimonies of Liu Zhou, Xie Changhai and Yu Derong were not credible. Since the three people entered the police station, their testimonies have been changed again and again. The authenticity cannot be determined, and they requested the police to investigate carefully.
This is just delaying time. Everyone in the upper-class circles in the capital knows that crimes committed by powerful people have always been delayed in this way, until the superiors are relieved of their anger, and until other major events occur in the capital, this person will gradually be let go. The matter faded out of public view and was settled.
Xia Shao has no intention of letting the matter settle. Huaxia Group has formally sued Xipinzhai for reputational infringement. Moreover, if Wang Zhuo wants to return to Beijing, Xia Shao will naturally have a way!
The Wang family would not know that the underground bank belonged to the Triads. Although this is the capital and belongs to the north, it is the political center. The Triads and Anqinhui all have their own connections here, and most of these connections are officials in the officialdom. However, most things like this are unknown.
Qi Chen should have known about the big fuss. Qi Chen never called Xia Shao since they broke up on bad terms last time, and he did it quietly this time. When Xia Shao heard about it, she thought it was a bank from the Anqin Hui. , I asked Boss Wu about the situation, and then I found out that it was from the Triad.
Xia Shao really didn't know what to say about this. She originally wanted to call Qi Chen to thank him, but thought about it and decided against it. With Mr. Qi's temper, you probably won't hear anything good if you call him. She will go back to Hong Kong to pay New Year greetings to Master during the Chinese New Year. Then she will thank him in person.
To Xia Shao's surprise, she met Gong Muyun.
Today is the last day to finish the exam. Xu Tianyin will come back from the military region tomorrow, and Xia Shao can go home three days later. Before she left, the old man invited her to have a meal at Xu's house, probably to discuss Xu Tianyin's official visit to Xia's house during the New Year. And Xia Shao also planned to take action against the Wang family on this day.
She extended invitations to her friends to go out to celebrate, and planned to make arrangements for the company in the past few days before going home to celebrate the New Year. But unexpectedly, she drove not far from campus and saw a parked black Lincoln at the corner. The car window was half rolled, revealing a pair of phoenix eyes with slightly raised tails, and half a picture-like face.
Xia Shao was stunned and saw Gong Muyun pointing ahead with a smile, and then the car drove away. Xia Shao understood, drove behind and went to a tea garden.
This tea garden is in the style of a courtyard, with elegant decoration. Xia Shao and Gong Muyun sat in a pavilion in the tea garden, watching the snow falling outside and the fragrance of tea in front of them, which was very comfortable.
Since the last charity auction, I haven't seen Gong Muyun for three or four months, but he is still the same. On such a cold day, he was wearing a white Tang shirt, holding a tea cup, his eyes fell on Xia Shao's eyebrows, and his first sentence was to ridicule, "You are always troubled. If such a big thing happens, why don't you do it?" Call me? You really ignore your friends."
Xia Shao said in a tone that hurt her friend, "I want to call. But you know, the recent case involves an underground bank. Although it is not the bank of Anqinhui, but now the whole capital is cracking down, I think Anqinhui My business must also have suffered a lot of losses. You know, I have always been obsessed with money, and I was afraid that you would ask me to compensate for the losses, so why would I hit you? "
Gong Muyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Shao, with a smile in his eyes and a picturesque eyebrow. He raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said in a casual tone, "Oh, thank you for reminding me. It turns out that I still have a way to recover the losses. Then, Anqin Group will submit the loss list to Huaxia Group another day."
Xia Shao was amused and laughed softly.
Gong Muyun looked at Xia Shao just like that. The scent of tea covered the smile in his eyes, which was a little hazy. The atmosphere in the tea room also became stagnant.
Xia Shao sat in this atmosphere, smiling as usual, looking back calmly, and asked: "You are usually so busy, it is not easy to come to the capital. You are not here specially for this matter, are you?"
Gong Muyun smiled, lowered his eyes slightly, covering up the feeling of loss, and seemed to sigh slightly, "I came here on a special trip. So, do you want to do your best to treat me as a landlord tonight?"
Xia Shao naturally agreed. When a friend comes to visit, there is no reason to be stingy enough not to treat him. "Of course. But I hope there won't be any assassination this time."
"I'm here to see you. Even if Qi Chen wants to kill me, he won't do it. Therefore, it's safest for me to be with you." Gong Muyun said in a joking tone.
Xia Shao lowered her eyes gently. She remembered that Qi Chen once said that Gong Muyun had a grudge against him for killing his father. At this moment, she wanted to ask what was going on, but in the end she swallowed her words. Gong Muyun made a special trip to the capital to mention these past events. I wonder if it would spoil his mood.
It was said that Xia Shao was treating guests to dinner. In fact, this tea garden had excellent specialties. Xia Shao ordered a few dishes and ate them with Gong Muyun here. While waiting for the food to arrive, Gong Muyun got down to the topic, "What are you going to do with Wang Zhuo? I've found his hiding place for you, and someone is watching. If you just say a word, I'll kidnap him."
Xia Shao just raised her eyebrows after hearing this, not surprised. In fact, she already knew that Wang Zhuo was hiding in Canada. Although the Wang family concealed Wang Zhuo's location abroad, Xu Tianyin also found out Wang Zhuo's hiding place through entry and exit records and some friends he met abroad.
"That's not necessary. Even if it's an assassination, there are still clues. The Wang family is in the army, and the Anxi Association is in the dark. If I go against the military, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the gang. Don't worry, I have a way to deal with Wang Zhuo ." At the end of Xia Shao's words, his eyes had turned cold and he snorted, "He will have to come back before the end of this year at the earliest! I'll treat you to a good show."
…
Xia Shao's words are not just words. Things done by human beings will inevitably leave clues. There are many things in the world that can be done without anyone noticing.
However, this requires opportunity.
What Xia Shao wants to change is the feng shui of the Wang family.
What Xia Shao wants to touch is the entire Wang family. Forcing Wang Zhuo to come back from abroad was just an incidental part of her plan. Now that Mr. Xu has intervened in this matter, in the eyes of the Jiang family, the Xu family is already considered to belong to the Qin family. In the future, factional fights will no longer bypass the Xu family. The first person to bear the brunt was that Xu Tianyin was from the military, and the power of the Wang family was in the military. Xia Shao would not give the other party a chance to trip up Xu Tianyin in the future.
Even if they are just likely to do this, they must be eliminated before it happens!
But the Wang family lives in a red-walled compound, and Xia Shaobu usually does whatever he wants with Feng Shui, but this time, it's not that easy. There were guards everywhere in the red-walled courtyard. How could it be so easy for Xia Shao to change the feng shui of the Wang family? I can only try to find a way to try it while I return to Xu's house with Xu Tianyin.
In the past few days, Xia Shao used her eyes to carefully observe whether there was any hiding place on the road between the Xu family and the Wang family. There was indeed one, but Xu Tianyin said that the monitoring equipment in the red wall compound was all the most advanced. There are no dead ends.
Therefore, Xia Shao had to think of a way and take the risk.
The next day, Xu Tianyin came back from the military area, and Xia Shao and him went to Xu's house for dinner at noon. During the meal, only Mr. Xu and Xu Yanying were there.
Hua Fang was in a coma for a week before she woke up. The hospital had already said that her life was not in danger and she could go home to recuperate. But she was afraid of the ubiquitous golden python. She didn't find it when she was in the hospital, so she stayed in the hospital and refused to go home. Xu Yanshao probably also wanted to avoid Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin, so he made an excuse to take care of his wife in the hospital and did not come back that day.
As for Xu Tianzhe, he flew back to his place of employment as early as the night after finishing his conversation with Xia Shao. As the New Year is approaching, government affairs are busy. At the end of the year, the capital is not peaceful because of Wang Zhuo's case, and all aspects are very sensitive. Xu Tianzhe came back this time to take leave in the name of visiting his mother, but he only took one day off and hurried back.
Xia Shao didn't know whether he had kept his promise, and didn't want to care. She has no intention of giving up. If she changes the feng shui of the Wang family today, Hua Fang and Xu Yanshao will have a "good" New Year.
hehe.
While eating, the atmosphere was still a bit sad. After all, so many things happened at home, and it’s not easy to just forget them. But today we have to talk about business, Xu Yanying smiled and asked: "Tianyin, I heard that you have met Xiaoshao's parents. However, this time it is a formal meeting, and even the elders of her family have met together. See you. According to the rules, it is best for us to have an elder accompanying you. Look, aunt and uncle will accompany you, okay?"
Xu Tianyin raised his eyes after hearing this, but before he could speak, the old man waved his hand.
Xu Kangguo said: "No need. Let's ask Tianyin to go by himself this time. With so many people in our family, isn't it putting pressure on parents? The marriage of children is a big event for parents all over the world. If you go, ask them in person. Do you agree or disagree? I think it’s better to let Tianyin go alone and give Shao Yatou’s parents time to think about it.”
Xia Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled heartwarmingly. The person in the world who most hopes that her senior brother will get married soon is the old man. The old man should know that she is young and her parents may not be willing for her to decide on a life-long event so early. I originally thought that the old man would play some old fox tricks at this time and ask the Xu family elders to follow her, making the scene more formal and putting some pressure on her parents, but I disagreed. Unexpectedly, he still considered her parents' feelings.
This old man is really respectable.
Xu Yanying smiled bitterly after hearing this, "That's what dad said. That's fine, I'll just listen to you." But after saying that, he looked at Xu Tianyin with a kind and complicated look in his eyes, and advised, "You have to remember, little one. Shao is young, so if her parents don't agree, that's understandable. When the time comes, you'll have to control your temper, understand?"
Xia Shao was stunned when he heard this, and laughed, feeling a little helpless.
Is Xu Yanying afraid that if her parents disagree, Xu Tianyin will pull out a gun and attack her parents like he did to Xu Yanshao and his wife that night? It seemed that she still didn't understand Xu Tianyin's temperament. Although she may be one of the few people in the Xu family who loves Xu Tianyin, because they don't meet often, the family still doesn't understand her.
