Who was Zou Ning? He was an ex-boyfriend who had studied abroad with Xia Jinhe. Later, he returned to the country and married the son of an official. After earning some capital, he divorced and went solo. Once, when Lu Yiwei went to look for Xia Jinhe, he accidentally bumped into Zou Ning begging for forgiveness with flowers. However, Xia Jinhe decisively abandoned her. Lu Yiwei was very touched, and their relationship became even closer.
Lu Yiwei still couldn't figure out the relationship between Zou Ning and Xia Jinhe. Xia Jinhe said that Zou Ning abandoned her and returned to the country to get married and start a career. Meng Xiaonan, an outsider, surprisingly revealed another version. She said that Xia Jinhe abandoned Zou Ning, which directly overturned the image of Xia Jinhe in Lu Yiwei's heart. To Lu Yiwei, it didn't matter who was telling the truth.
What puzzled him was that Zou Ning was so "rich." How could he hang out with "Zhou Yaru"? It was unbelievable.
The presence of such a key person became a major turning point in the whole incident. With the cooperation of the Jiangdong police, they found Zou Ning playing Counter-Strike in an internet cafe without much effort.
At the beginning of the new century, the internet cafe was a new industry that had tens of thousands of people turning up. The internet fee as high as five yuan per hour did not stop the young people's enthusiasm. They would rather eat instant noodles for a week to save money. The boys played Red Alert, Counter-Strike, and screamed crazily. The girls, on the other hand, applied for QQ and chatted enthusiastically while watching My Fair Princess.
Zou Ning seemed to have known that the police had found him. He wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he begged the police, "Wait, I'll let you go after this game!" Saying that, he threw himself into the game again. In the end, Zou Ning, as the "police", lost the game. He stood up and said unhappily, "It's all your fault. I lost the game." Fu Jiangwei and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Walking to the bar, Zou Ning said to the owner of the internet cafe, "I don't allow others to play with my computer. I'll be back in a bit. Do you hear me?"
Zou Ning was taken to the local police station. He asked casually, "Are you looking for Brother Bunny? Don't ask me, I don't know either. "
Fu Jiangwei was stunned. He took out the photo for Zou Ning to identify and said, "We are looking for this person."
"Yes!" Zou Ning said doubtfully, "This is Brother Rabbit. Not only are you guys looking for him, we are also looking for him. Don't waste your energy, we don't know where that bastard is hiding. "
The more Fu Jiangwei listened, the more confused he became. "What's his real name?"
"Uh … this …" Zou Ning thought for a long time and said, "Hey! Don't mention it, I've already forgotten what his name is. Do you have a cigarette? "
Fu Jiangwei took out a cigarette and threw it to the downtrodden Zou Ning. He continued to ask, "I want to know more about this Brother Rabbit. The more detailed, the better."
"Why?" Zou Ning said warily with a taut face. Then, he took a drag of his cigarette and sneered, "Since you're looking for Brother Rabbit, why don't you wait for his name? What a joke. I don't think you're from River East. Where are you from? "
Fu Jiangwei was not in the mood to chat with Zou Ning. He said sternly, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Seeing that he was serious, Zou Ning put his hands in his pockets and said with his neck shrunk, "I can tell you, but I can't say it for free. I should at least get something in return, right? Not much, just 200 yuan. It's enough for me to eat for two days. "
Fu Jiangwei thought it was ridiculous. He even doubted if what Lu Yiwei said was true. Zou Ning looked no different from a gangster. How could he be a returnee who had studied abroad? Fu Jiangwei had no choice but to take out the money and give it to Zou Ning. Zou Ning's face lit up. He looked at the money eagerly and was about to take it.
Fu Jiangwei pulled back the money and said, "Zou Ning, I heard you're an international student, is that true?"
Zou Ning was stunned. He put down his raised head and wiped his snot with his sleeve. He said with a blank face, "How do you know that?"
It seemed to be true! Fu Jiangwei was very curious. How could an international student end up like this? He asked, "Is this the lifestyle you chose?"
Zou Ning was stunned again. His mouth twitched slightly and he did not make a sound. After a long time, he said impatiently, "Are you asking me or Brother Bunny? If you're asking me, I'll leave first. I don't have time to waste with you." He then turned to leave.
At this moment, Lu Yiwei, who was listening outside the door, pushed it open and came in. Zou Ning was shocked. After a careful look, Zou Ning's eyes widened. He pointed at Lu Yiwei and stammered, "You … you are … Oh, I remember, Lu something …"
"Lu Yiwei." Lu Yiwei shook Zou Ning's hand like a gentleman. Zou Ning was extremely embarrassed and did not know what to do.
Zou Ning said, "I remember now. You're Lu Yiwei. That's right! You are! "
Lu Yiwei pulled Zou Ning aside and whispered, "Are you short of money?"
Zou Ning rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yiwei took out a stack of money and stuffed it into Zou Ning's hand. "Here's 5,000 yuan. It's enough for you to spend for a while. But you can't take it for free. I need Brother Bunny's information. Everything!"
Zou Ning was immediately overjoyed when he saw the money. He smiled greedily. "Okay, no problem. I'll tell you everything I know."
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else!" Lu Yiwei then walked out. He said to Fu Jiangwei, "Chief Fu, find a relatively quiet place. I want to talk to him first."
When they arrived at a tea house, Zou Ning saw the burly and ferocious Lu Yiwei. He was slightly nervous, but he still pretended to be arrogant. "What do you want to talk to me about? Why do we have to come to a place like this? "
Lu Yiwei didn't like to drink coffee, but he specially ordered a cup of bitter coffee. "Can you teach me how to drink coffee later?"
Zou Ning was the best at putting up a facade, so he smiled. "Sure, I can even grind it for you."
Shortly after, the waiter came over with a coffee pot. Zou Ning skillfully grinded the coffee and introduced, "This coffee is very particular. Do you know what the best coffee in the world is? You don't, right? Let me tell you. It's a type of cat poop coffee from Sumatra. It's called Ruwak, and it's the most expensive coffee. The taste of the coffee was rich and mellow. With a gentle sip, one could feel the soft and smooth texture. The remaining heat swept across the tip of the tongue, and one could smell the fragrance of the jungle. The chirping of birds lingered in one's ears. Ah! It's simply a pleasure! "
Zou Ning's intoxicated expression was like a declining aristocrat in ancient times. He couldn't even have enough to eat, but he was still reminiscing about the past. Lu Yiwei couldn't bear to interrupt him, so he nodded his head in agreement.
"You won't understand even if I tell you!" Zou Ning looked at Lu Yiwei's dazed expression and felt a little disappointed. But looking at himself now, he stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Zou Ning, let me ask you something that I shouldn't be asking. Aren't you a returnee? Why are you in such dire straits? "
"Are you trying to laugh at me?" Zou Ning sneered.
"No!" Lu Yiwei seriously replied, "That's not what I meant."
Zou Ning's eyelids drooped and he sighed, "I was cheated and lost everything. I still owe a lot of money, and I don't even have the face to continue living!"
With a history of blood and tears, this returnee also had an unspeakable weakness. Zou Ning continued, "Three years ago, you can ask around in Jiangdong City. Everyone knows me, Zou Ning. Even Yang Tongyao and Ren Guangming thought highly of me. I'm worth more than a hundred million, and I'm one of the richest people in the entire Xijiang Province. But I was f * cking unlucky. I met a Hong Konger who wanted to go to Hainan to speculate in real estate. You can imagine the result. I invested all my money, and the Hong Konger ran away. I only found out later that I was cheated. Fuck! "
Zou Ning's words were obviously fake. He wasn't qualified to be on the same level as Yang Tongyao and Ren Guangming. At least, Lu Yiwei hadn't heard of his name. As for the story he told later, it was somewhat believable. There were many people who went to Hainan to speculate in real estate in the past two years. Most of them went with a lot of money, but they lost everything in the end. There were many similar situations. It looked like Zou Ning had also fallen for this.
Zou Ning continued, "The days of hiding from debts were extremely painful. It was also at this time that I met Brother Tu. He asked me to work with him, and that's how it is now. "
"What does this Brother Tu do for a living?" Lu Yiwei asked.
Speaking of Brother Tu, Zou Ning suddenly beamed with joy. He said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Brother Tu made a living in the underworld by relying on his mouth. I admire him from the bottom of my heart. It's said that Brother Tu used to be a gangster. He wandered the streets every day and didn't know his next meal. One day, when he passed by the entrance of the Provincial Party Committee, he saw the security guards and armed police blocking a car from entering. A man got out of the car and shouted that he was the deputy mayor of a certain city, but the other party didn't appreciate it and forcefully stopped him from entering. Brother Tu was curious, so he squatted at the entrance of the Provincial Party Committee for the whole morning and found a way to make money.
"That night, Brother Tu found someone from the underground money house and borrowed twenty thousand yuan at high interest. He gave it directly to the old gatekeeper of the Provincial Party Committee. It was the first time in his life that someone gave him a gift, and it was so generous. He was very excited. He thought that Brother Tu wanted him to do something for him, but Brother Tu didn't say anything and just said that it was a gift for him. The old man didn't feel at ease with the money, and insisted that Brother Tu tell him one, two, three, four. Brother Tu only said that as long as you told me every day whether the leader entered the yard or not, it would be fine. When the time was right, I would also need you to be generous and let a few cars in. After that, Brother Tu and the old man worked together quite happily. Especially when some small officials from the county went to the province to do business. They couldn't get to the door frame, so Brother Tu went up to talk and directly provided information to send them in. As time went by, they all felt that this Brother Tu wasn't simple. They thought he was a young master from some family, and slowly became good friends and brothers. Many people looked for him for things. As for Brother Tu, he never asked for money when he did things for others, but who could let him work for free? Most of the time, he was the one who made the reports, and later on, he was given some small projects. "
