Liu Zhankui held his phone tightly in his hand and thought quickly with a serious face.
Lao Wu called for a long time but did not get through. He said anxiously, "Brother Kui, what should we do?"
"Hmph! What else can we do? Just do what needs to be done. He used a gun to commit a crime! "
Lao Wu was so scared that he shivered. He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment. Then he came closer and whispered, "Brother Kui, look at what happened. I hate him so much. But I only have one brother-in-law. My wife will cry if she finds out. Why don't you be merciful and let him go? "
Liu Zhankui glanced at him and said, "Easy for you to say. Do you know who he hit? Wang Zhiquan's younger brother, Wang Zhian? Can you let him go?"
Lao Wu knew that Wang Zhiquan was an important figure in Nanzhou City and had a good relationship with Liu Zhankui. Just when he was thinking about what to say, his phone rang. Seeing that it was his wife, he went out to pick it up. Just as he guessed, Wang Zhian cried on the phone and asked him to help.
Lao Wu was anxious and wanted his brother-in-law to disappear completely. Wang Zhian only knew how to cause trouble all day long. He did not know how many times Wang Zhian had cleaned up after him. But when he thought of his wife, he gritted his teeth and continued to clean up after him. After thinking for a long time, he took out a bank card from the cabinet and went in.
"Brother Kui, I know you are in a difficult situation. He is your brother-in-law after all. You can't just watch him die." Then, he put the bank card in his hand and said, "There is 100,000 yuan in it. You can count it."
Liu Zhankui did not look at it and threw the card back. He stood up and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but I can't afford to offend Wang Zhiquan. Why don't you talk to him yourself and talk to him? "
Lao Wu said eagerly, "I don't know Wang Zhiquan very well. I heard that you have a good relationship with him. Why don't you talk to him in the middle or pass a message to him?"
Liu Zhankui said indifferently, "Do you think he cares about your money? According to Zhiquan's character, he will definitely kill him. "
"Then tell me what to do. I will listen to you."
Liu Zhankui did not speak. Instead, he closed his eyes and lay on the recliner, pretending to think.
Lao Wu thought for a moment and made up his mind. "Brother Kui, our company bought a piece of land near the Princess's Tomb in Beijing. We plan to develop it this year. I'll reserve one for you."
Liu Zhankui was indifferent, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the armrest.
Lao Wu knew that he had a big appetite, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Just now you said that you can count on me. When your son comes back, I will immediately register the company."
Liu Zhankui opened his eyes slightly. He sat up and said in a drawn-out tone, "I'm not talking about that. The point is that it's rather difficult to handle."
The man was practicing Tai Chi. Lao Wu guessed that he had already thought of a way to deal with it. He said shamelessly, "I believe Brother Kui must have a way."
Liu Zhankui looked at him for a few seconds before he stood up and waved his hand. "Let's go back to Long 'an."
"Okay, okay."
…
In Jiang Zhentao's home, a table of sumptuous dishes had been prepared. Jiang Zhentao took down the fine wine that he had kept for many years from upstairs. He said with interest, "Secretary Lu, this bottle of Xijiang red wine has been around for 50 years now. When I first started working, a university classmate gave it to me. I was reluctant to drink it, so I hid it in the cellar. I ended up hiding it for more than 20 years. I just took it out from the cellar two days ago. I wanted to invite you to drink it together. I didn't expect you to come. "
Lu Yiwei laughed and said, "So, this bottle of wine was waiting for me?"
"Of course. Although it's a bottle of ordinary wine, it contains a strong friendship and emotion. It can't be replaced."
Lu Yiwei took the wine and looked at it. He did not know whether what he said was true or not, but he accepted it. He said happily, "Okay, then let's solve it tonight. But you're still sick. It's better to drink less. "
Jiang Zhentao was not sick. He said with a ruddy face, "Now that you're here, I'm all better. My whole body is full of energy."
Lu Yiwei looked at Xu Changyuan, and the others laughed in unison.
The long-awaited vegetable dumplings were served. Zheng Yumei put the seasoning in front of him and said, "Secretary Lu, dip it in this."
Lu Yiwei smelled it and said, "It smells good. Is this mutton soup?"
Zheng Yumei explained, "Not really. Mince the mutton, stir-fry it with tomatoes and red peppers. Then add some coriander and green onions. It's numb and spicy. It's very chewy."
Listening to her description, Lu Yiwei's mouth was a little sour. He could not wait to take a bite. He picked up a steamed bun sized vegetable dumpling from the steamer and dipped it in the seasoning. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. They held their breath and waited for his evaluation.
After one bite, Lu Yiwei quickly drank a mouthful of water and gave a thumbs up. "Sister-in-law's cooking is really good. It's delicious."
Jiang Zhentao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly picked up another piece. "Eat more. This is coarse grain. It's especially good for people with high blood sugar and lipids."
"What is this made of?"
Zheng Yumei explained, "Peel and boil the potatoes. Shred the pickled cabbage. Dice the sweet potatoes. Mix it with buckwheat flour, sorghum flour, corn flour, and wheat flour. Knead it into a dumpling and steam it for about ten minutes."
Lu Yiwei said, "Not bad. It's been a long time since I've had such authentic hometown food. We have it in Nanyang too, but the method is different. This is more delicious."
Jiang Zhentao added, "This is too unrefined. It's not elegant. But it's good to have it occasionally."
Lu Yiwei waved his hand. "People nowadays eat too meticulously, and it's causing more and more health problems. In the past, I didn't eat it, and I've never heard of the three highs. But now, high blood pressure, diabetes, and so on are almost standard. It's embarrassing if you don't eat it. "
Jiang Zhentao raised his glass and said, "Secretary Lu, let me toast to you. Thank you for coming to my humble abode. This is the blessing and honor of our family."
"We're family. I'm not a leader, and I'm still a student in front of you. I have to learn more from you in the future. You can't hold back. You have to remind me, spur me on, guide me, and criticize me. This way, I can improve and grow. In other words, we're all doing this for Long An's tomorrow and future, right? "
Jiang Zhentao clapped excitedly. "You're right. For Long An's tomorrow, let's toast!"
Xu Changyuan had just put down his glass when his phone rang. He got up and went out to answer the call. When he came in, he felt uneasy and did not know if he should say it.
Jiang Zhentao could tell what he was thinking and said, "What's the matter?"
"Uh … Oh, there's a small situation."
Lu Yiwei looked back and said, "Chief Jiang is not an outsider. Just say it."
Xu Changyuan thought about it and said in a low voice, "I just received a call saying that there was a shooting at Xin Heng Hotel."
When he said that, everyone was stunned. Jiang Zhentao saw that the situation was not right, so he gave his wife and son a look. The two of them hurriedly got up and went to the second floor.
