Chapter 823 A Difficult Choice
Seeing that Ye Tianlong seemed to be talking but couldn't hear clearly, Ning Hongzhuang asked out of curiosity: "Tianlong, what are you talking about?"
Ye Tianlong regained his composure and took over the topic with a smile: "I didn't say anything. I just said that a million dollars for a lunch is so luxurious."
Huo Zicai laughed loudly: "It's worth the money, and one million US dollars is not worth mentioning to rich people."
In other words, it is a huge luxury for people without money.
For Ning Hongzhuang's sake, Ye Tianlong heard the teasing and didn't pay attention. He raised his glass with a smile: "Come on, don't talk about this, let's drink."
Ning Hongzhuang picked up the cup and touched it. Huo Zicai, who was in high spirits, touched it unwillingly, and then the three of them drank the wine in the cup.
"Mr. Ning, I have three purposes for coming to Mingjiang this time."
After drinking the red wine, Huo Zicai put down the glass and looked at Ning Hongzhuang with a smile:
"First, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to see you, and most importantly, second, I want to discuss the details of our cooperation, and third, I want you to do me a favor."
Ning Hongzhuang raised her head: "You're welcome, Mr. Huo. We are all friends and it is necessary to support each other. I just don't know if I can help you."
Ye Tianlong also twirled his wine glass, wondering what kind of help Huo Zicai asked Ning Hongzhuang for.
"My brother Huo Ziguang was bullied by a bad guy on the Mingjiang subway not long ago."
Huo Zicai's expression became fierce: "Three of his ribs were broken and his internal organs were injured. He is still lying in the hospital unable to get out of bed."
"Through my connections with the police, I found out who was under surveillance at the time. He was injured by an old man."
Huo Zicai snapped his fingers: "Bring it over."
A Huo assistant immediately ran over and took out two photos from his briefcase.
Huo Zicai pushed the photo in front of Ning Hongzhuang and pointed at the person on it: "It's him who hurt my brother."
"My connections in Mingjiang are limited and I cannot find the other party to seek justice."
He looked at Ning Hongzhuang with bright eyes: "I know that Mr. Ning is in Mingjiang and he takes both sides, so I hope you can help me..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Tianlong immediately took over the topic: "Master Huo, I'm sorry, Mr. Ning is just a businessman and doesn't fight."
"Although you are a distinguished guest and can bring benefits to Wang Yao, Ning will never hurt anyone casually."
Ye Tianlong took a sip of red wine: "If you want justice, you can call the police."
Ning Hongzhuang also nodded: "The police are indeed more efficient than me."
The corners of Huo Zicai's mouth twitched and he glanced at Ye Tianlong angrily. This bastard had figured out his plan. He originally wanted to drag Ning Hongzhuang into the quagmire of trouble and tie her to him better, but now that Ye Tianlong messed it up like this, It was difficult to implement the plan, so he smiled and said:
"I didn't ask Mr. Ning to kill him, I just wanted her to help find someone."
He said calmly: "If you find him, tell me. I will call the police to arrest him, take him to court for trial, and then put him in jail."
"I see, it's not just about fighting."
Ye Tianlong said seriously: "I'm afraid you instigate Mr. Ning to fight, which will ruin your life."
Huo Zicai smiled but said: "No, no, I'm not a gangster, I won't do that kind of thing."
"Okay, I remember him."
Ning Hongzhuang took out her mobile phone and took a few photos: "I will ask people to pay attention to them. If there is any whereabouts, I will inform Mr. Huo immediately."
Although I don't want to get involved in these matters, the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, and I am also the landlord, so I need to give him a helping hand.
Ye Tianlong looked over and narrowed his eyes instantly, Miao old man?
He quickly thought of Ning Caiwei's words. She had a conflict with someone on the subway, and was rescued by an old man.
He never thought that the guy the Miao old man knocked away was Huo Ziguang, and he couldn't help but secretly thought that this world is really small.
Then, he thought that Qin Ziyi was going to round up the old Miao people, and Ye Tianlong wondered if he was going to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
But after thinking for a while, he finally rejected the idea.
No matter what, the old Miao man saved him. Even though he was a criminal and he couldn't help anymore, he shouldn't help Huo Zicai get into trouble.
So he ended up drinking wine leisurely, and planned to let Ning Hongzhuang mind her own business later.
At this moment, Huo Zicai raised his glass and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Ning."
Ning Hongzhuang touched him lightly, and then took a small sip.
At this time, Huo Zicai's phone rang. He wanted to hang up, but he glanced at the number, said sorry again, and ran to the balcony to answer the call.
"After dinner, follow me to the third floor. I have an appointment with my godmother."
While he was on the phone, Ning Hongzhuang's phone vibrated, she opened her WeChat account, quickly replied, and then whispered to Ye Tianlong:
"She didn't see you last time and kept asking me to ask you to meet again."
"She also came here to meet friends today. She saw my car and knew I was here. She got the news and asked us to finish our meal and go downstairs for a cup of tea."
Ye Tianlong hesitated slightly: "Do you really want to meet your parents?"
He was somewhat unprepared, worried that scenes from movies and TV shows would reappear, with his future mother-in-law scolding her son-in-law so badly.
However, seeing Ning Hongzhuang's expectations, Ye Tianlong nodded: "Okay."
Ning Hongzhuang hesitated for a while: "She still wants to see Huo Zicai."
The wine in Ye Tianlong's mouth almost spurted out, why could he smell a slap in the face?
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a girl ran in with a look of embarrassment on her face, holding her cell phone and shouting to Huo Zicai, who was staring at the phone:
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, it's bad, it's bad, Miss Lin and the others have suffered a great loss."
She cried: "Those bastards beat our people and touched us..."
A group of bodyguards and assistants stood up at once, murderous and indignant. Huo Zicai's face turned cold and he shouted:
"Where are they?"
The fashionable girl pointed outside the door and wiped her tears: "At the intersection outside the club..."
"Let's go, take me to see, dare to bully our people in Gangcheng, you are looking for death."
Huo Zicai turned his head and looked at Ning Hongzhuang and said: "Mr. Ning, I'm sorry, I have to deal with something first, I will be back soon."
Ning Hongzhuang also stood up and picked up her handbag: "Let's go with you."
She is the host of the banquet tonight. If something happens to the guests, she must take care of it.
Ye Tianlong was about to get up and follow Ning Hongzhuang to watch the fun, but his mobile phone vibrated. He took it out and glanced at it. It was an email from Uncle Jiu.
As he walked forward, he opened the book and scanned it. He froze after just one glance. He saw the three words "Di Kuang Tian".
Then, he immediately thought of Fu Dajun's grandfather, and then thought of the grudges between the two sides. Ye Tianlong broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
Ye Tianlong took out his cell phone and called Zheng Xiaolan immediately. The call was connected quickly. Ye Tianlong whispered, "Xiaolan, where are you?"
Zheng Xiaolan's laughter came to his ears, and her voice was very pleasant: "Caiwei and I are eating hot pot. By the way, there is also a friend of hers."
"I heard that friend saved you at the construction site. I happened to meet him at Chang Yiwan's newly opened mutton restaurant, so we asked him to have dinner together."
Ye Tianlong's breathing stagnated: "Miao elder?"
Zheng Xiaolan smiled and responded: "Yes, it's just this kind of decoration."
"Pah——"
Ye Tianlong hung up the phone and rushed out the door like a whirlwind: "Hongzhuang, I have something urgent to do. I'll leave first and contact you later."
Then, he quickly disappeared from Ning Hongzhuang's sight...
Ning Hongzhuang bit her red lips hard...
