"Eh? Xiao Li, what are you thinking about? "Elder Xu, who was happily drinking, turned around and saw Xiao Li frowning silently.
After asking twice, Xiao Li finally realized what was going on.
"Ah? Elder Xu. " Xiao Li moved his chair closer to Elder Xu. His brows were still furrowed as he said in a low voice, "I met a strange guy in Tianhong's office today. He — "
Before Xiao Li could finish, Elder Xu waved his hand and said, "I thought it was something serious! Drink your wine and we'll talk about it later. "
Elder Xu naturally knew what Xiao Li was talking about.
Although he was in Qian Yan's office at the time, he used his mental strength to observe what happened in the meeting room.
Elder Xu also felt that Xiao Zhuang was very suspicious.
However, this kind of thing was not suitable to be discussed here.
He would definitely send someone to investigate Xiao Zhuang later.
Seeing that Elder Xu had stopped him, Xiao Li did not say anything else. He turned around and was about to drink when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Xiao Li immediately got up and walked to the side to answer the phone.
The next moment, Xiao Li ran to Elder Xu's side and said in a low voice with a pale face, "Elder Xu, something bad happened in Westridge!"
Bang!
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, Elder Xu crushed the wine bowl in his hand. The wine in the bowl spilled all over him!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this. They all looked at Elder Xu in silence.
"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself," Elder Xu said with an apologetic smile.
Qian Yan got up and said, "Elder Xu, please wait a moment. I'll get you a change of clothes."
"No need, Mrs. Chen." Elder Xu waved his hand. "Ah, it's troublesome to get old."
Then, Elder Xu turned to Steward Zhao and Zheng Xianjue and said, "I'm sorry. Let's stop here for today. We'll talk about it again in the future."
Steward Zhao stood up immediately. Zheng Xianjue followed suit.
After all, Steward Zhao was a shrewd old man. He understood the meaning behind Elder Xu's words. He smiled and said to Zheng Xianjue, "It's getting late. Little Zheng, you're going back to the capital, right? It just so happens that Second Young Master's helicopter is in the suburbs of Beijing. Let's go back together. "
Zheng Xianjue nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Steward Zhao."
Qian Yan tried to persuade him to stay. "It's already so late. It's not too late to leave tomorrow morning. Anyway, there are plenty of rooms in our Chuxin Villa. One night won't make a difference."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Chen." Steward Zhao responded to Qian Yan with a smile, then looked at Chen Qiang and said, "Master ordered me to bring Second Young Master back to the capital. It seems that Second Young Master's actions this time really angered my master.
Little Brother Chen Qiang, let's meet again in the capital. "
Chen Qiang didn't try to persuade him to stay. He nodded and then said to Qian Yan, "Qian Yan, let He Er drive Steward Zhao and Brother Zheng with you."
Elder Xu followed and said, "Steward Zhao, when you go back, tell Master that I'll go back to see him later and personally bring him a jar of good wine."
"Sure, sure."
After saying goodbye, He Shen and Qian Yan drove Steward Zhao and Zheng Xianjue away.
After Steward Zhao and the others left, Elder Xu's face became serious again.
Chen Qiang asked, "Elder Xu, do you have something to tell me?"
Elder Xu nodded. "Let's go to the room."
Chen Qiang returned to the room with half a jar of wine and Elder Xu and Xiao Li.
After the three of them sat down, Elder Xu said with a serious face, "Xiao Li received a call just now. You heard it too, right?"
Chen Qiang nodded and didn't say anything.
"Sigh!" Elder Xu let out a long sigh and said with a frown, "With your help, everything that happened in the Three Cities Alley could have been handled perfectly.
Although the loss was not small, at least the spread of the white powder was controlled and a large-scale infection was prevented.
In order to prevent the white powder from harming people again, the relevant departments sent someone to take away a small bottle. They planned to go back and study it, and then develop a corresponding vaccine.
But they never expected that just now, news came from Westridge that the small bottle of white powder had just arrived in Westridge when it was taken away and the relevant researchers were killed! "
Chen Qiang was shocked when he heard this.
He knew the power of the white powder better than anyone else!
If it was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Perhaps, his previous efforts in the Three Cities Alley would all be for naught!
"Elder Xu, do you know who did it?"
Elder Xu shook his head.
Xiao Li added, "Westridge is organizing people to investigate, but there are no clues at the moment. Elder Xu will be there later."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Chen Qiang asked in confusion. "Elder Xu, you can't let that thing fall into the wrong hands. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Of course! But Chen Qiang, the reason why I didn't leave immediately … "Elder Xu turned around and looked at Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang saw this and pointed at his nose. "Elder Xu, you're not asking me to go with you, are you?"
Elder Xu nodded.
"I know you have a lot of things to deal with now.
But Chen Qiang, as you said just now, if that thing falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be unimaginable!
And you know more about that thing than most people. If you go with us, you might be able to play a greater role! "Li Yundong said.
Chen Qiang, making money is important, but some things are more important than money!
I hope you can think about what's more important and accept my suggestion.
In fact, when we were in the Three City Alley, I wanted to invite you to join our team at Mount Shouyang.
Now is the right time, so I'll just ask you directly. What do you think? "
Chen Qiang lowered his head and pondered for a while. Finally, he shook his head.
Obviously, Elder Xu was very disappointed.
Chen Qiang explained, "Elder Xu, it's not that I don't want to go.
It's just that I don't think it's necessary.
I'm not a professional when it comes to investigating, so I can't help at all. "
Chen Qiang was telling the truth.
If he still had his cultivation, then he would definitely go with them.
But now, he had no other abilities except for the Obsession Cleansing System. If he went with them, he might not even be able to keep his life. Instead, he would be a burden. It was better not to go.
However, it was obvious that Elder Xu couldn't accept Chen Qiang's explanation. He thought that Chen Qiang only had eyes for a small place like South China, so his thinking was limited.
After all, Elder Xu had just helped him solve a problem. Chen Qiang could only patiently explain, "Elder Xu, have you ever thought about who would snatch that thing? Who would have the ability to snatch it and ruthlessly kill someone? "
