"En, I'm definitely drinking this wine of yours," Chen He said as he walked in front of the old man in the dark and sat down slowly.
Although it was pitch black, Chen He's eyesight seemed to be very good and he could clearly sense where he was.
The old man was in a daze for a few minutes before he gradually came back to his senses. He laughed a few times and said, "Interesting, interesting … Young man … With your skills … this iron birdcage can't trap you, right?"
"So what if I can? So what if I can't be trapped? " Chen He said as he grabbed a bottle of wine in the dark and took a big gulp. A strong aroma of white wine instantly filled the air, making people salivate.
"Hey hey hey … I said leave some for me … I only have a few bottles of wine left …" The old man saw him drinking so crazily and said painfully.
"Great!" Chen He happily drank a few mouthfuls of white wine. His mouth was full of spiciness and he felt great!
The old man raised his bowl and said slowly, "Come, young man, cheers."
The two clinked glasses in the dark and drank to their heart's content! The fragrant chicken and braised pork trotters … There were a few plates of dishes that went with wine. This was extremely extravagant!
"Young man, what's your name?" The old man drank the wine in his bowl and asked curiously.
"Erdong Chen, Shui Shanhe," Chen He said as he chewed on a chicken leg.
The old man murmured softly, "Chen … He? Young man … I don't think I've heard of your name in Huhai City? "
"I just came back recently … Besides, I'm just a nobody, what kind of name do I have?" Chen He said as he drank a few more mouthfuls of strong wine.
"Old man, what's your name?" Chen He wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and asked.
The old man was silent for a while and did not answer.
After a long time, he said slowly, "I'm just a nobody, I don't have a famous name, you wouldn't know me even if I told you …"
Seeing this old man acting mysterious, Chen He could not be bothered to pay attention to him … He only cared about drinking wine and eating meat!
…
Chen He was happily eating and drinking in his room, but outside, a woman couldn't eat or drink because of him …
Li Peijiu sat in the office, her pretty face pale and haggard. Her long hair was in a mess, which made people's hearts ache.
She hadn't eaten anything for a whole day … She had been contacting her connections all over Shanghai City, hoping that she could do her best to save them …
But all the answers were negative … Chen He had already been convicted, and this was practically a dead end … There was no way to get him out of this predicament.
Thinking of this, Li Peijiu's beautiful eyes became moist again, and mist swirled in her eyes. At this moment, she felt very guilty … If it wasn't for her … Chen He wouldn't have gotten into trouble. It was all his fault!
The blonde beauty, Jennifer, sat on the sofa. She had already tried to persuade Li Peijiu many times … But Li Peijiu did not believe her at all … Pessimism dominated Li Peijiu's mind … Right now, Li Peijiu could not listen to anyone else at all …
At this moment, the secretary, Sun Xue, suddenly knocked on the office door in a panic.
"Boss Li … someone wants to see you …"
Li Peijiu raised her reddened eyes, a little confused and startled, "Who is it?"
"Boss Li, it's me." Suddenly, a calm and deep voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in a well-ironed suit slowly walked into the office.
The moment she saw this middle-aged man, Li Peijiu's beautiful eyes frowned.
"Boss Li, we just met a few days ago. Don't tell me you've forgotten me?" Ding Manlin smiled calmly, a deep look on his face.
Li Peijiu's pretty face was pale and cold, and she said coldly, "President Ding, what are you doing here?"
Ding Manlin smiled faintly, lit a cigar, and started smoking without restraint.
"Boss Li, I remember … I reminded you before, right? In Shanghai City, whether it's the underworld or the legal … there are people who know me … "Ding Manlin said with incomparable depth.
Hearing this, Li Peijiu's pretty face became incomparably cold, "President Ding, what do you mean?"
"I heard that something happened to your personal chauffeur?" Ding Manlin smiled faintly, "Boss Li, this is what happens when you don't listen to the elders …" Ding Manlin slowly blew out a ring of smoke, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Swoosh! Hearing this, Li Peijiu's pretty face instantly froze! At this moment, her face became unusually ugly.
"What happened to Chen He, was it you who did it?" Li Peijiu's voice was cold and trembling, and she stared closely at Ding Manlin.
The corner of Ding Manlin's mouth raised into a cold and deep smile, "Boss Li, it wasn't me … it was your chauffeur's background that wasn't clean to begin with …" Although he said this, the meaning of his words couldn't be more obvious! He was the one who had done it!
Li Peijiu's pretty face was incomparably cold, "President Ding, what are you trying to do?"
Ding Manlin took a deep breath of the cigar, "What am I trying to do … this question, Boss Li should know better than me …"
Li Peijiu bit her red lips and remained silent.
Seeing that Li Peijiu was silent, Ding Manlin reminded her directly, "Boss Li, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations … As long as you return the shares of Platinum Group to Yao Huaqiang … then your chauffeur Chen He … might still have a chance to live …"
At this moment, Li Peijiu's pretty face was incomparably pale … If she returned the shares of Platinum Group to Yao Huaqiang … then … all her previous efforts … would be in vain … This also meant that the Global Group would suffer a loss of tens of billions!
Li Peijiu was very confused. At this moment, she suddenly made a decision!
"Okay! I promise you! "Li Peijiu's voice was extremely firm as she said solemnly.
At this moment, Jennifer, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her head in astonishment and stared blankly at Li Peijiu … This woman … actually agreed to such a harsh request for Chen He's sake??
Ding Manlin took a deep breath of the cigar, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a bright smile.
"Congratulations, Boss Li … you made the right decision."
Li Peijiu's pretty face was messy and pale. Right now, she had no other choice … This … might be the only way to save Chen He … As long as she could save Chen He … even if the group lost tens of billions … she didn't care! Because Chen He … was harmed because of her …
Suddenly, Jennifer, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up slowly and said in a magnetic voice, "Don't agree."
Li Peijiu turned her head in astonishment and looked at Jennifer.
Ding Manlin's expression also froze as he looked at this blonde foreign girl with a deep and dark expression.
"Li Peijiu, don't agree to him." Jennifer walked slowly to Li Peijiu's side in her high heels and pulled her to the side.
Ding Manlin's expression was incomparably gloomy. "What do you mean, foreign girl?"
Jennifer blinked her azure blue eyes and stared at Ding Manlin with disdain. She said slowly, "In this world, no one can touch Chen He … I can treat this threat of yours as nonsense."
Swoosh! Ding Manlin's expression changed and became very cold!
Li Peijiu was about to speak, but she was pulled back by Jennifer … Jennifer moved closer to her ear and whispered a few words …
Li Peijiu was silent.
Ding Manlin's expression changed slightly as he stared at Li Peijiu. "Boss Li … ignore this foreign girl … this is the only way to save your chauffeur …"
Li Peijiu blinked her beautiful eyes. Although her pretty face was messy, there was a hint of determination in it.
"President Ding, I've changed my mind."
Ding Manlin's expression changed and became extremely gloomy!
"Li Peijiu … are you sure? Do you want your chauffeur to be sentenced to death?? "
Li Peijiu's beautiful eyes flickered. "President Ding, I still have work to do. Please do as you please."
At this moment, Ding Manlin's expression became extremely ugly! The fat meat that was about to fall into his hands … was actually flying away just like that?!! He couldn't accept this at all!
"Fine! Boss Li, you've got guts! Now, you'll have to personally witness your chauffeur being sentenced to death! "Ding Manlin swung his sleeves angrily and left the office with a cold and gloomy expression …
After seeing Ding Manlin leave, Li Peijiu's stubborn and determined pretty face instantly became messy and pale again … She didn't know if her decision was correct … Was this helping Chen He … or harming Chen He?
At this moment, Li Peijiu's emotions were extremely messy … Only the two words that Jennifer had said just now kept reverberating in her mind … Dragon King …
…
In the special reception area, Chen He had already crawled back into his little dark room. At this moment, he was already a little tipsy … The old man's strong Maotai was too stimulating. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he was now lying on the damp ground, closing his eyes to rest.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the little dark room.
"Chen He … get up!" A staff member shouted into the room.
Chen He slowly opened his eyes and crawled up from the ground.
"Creak." The heavy metal door was opened.
"Come out, someone wants to interrogate you!" The staff member shouted coldly.
Chen He's eyes narrowed slightly … What was supposed to come, was it finally coming? He wanted to see what the other party's goal was exactly! He didn't resist, and just walked out with the staff member like that …
Seven or eight staff members detained him and brought him to the interrogation room.
Chen He sat calmly in the interrogation room, separated by a glass wall, completely separating the criminal and the arbiter into two different worlds.
A few minutes later, the door on the other side of the glass wall was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in …
