"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Childe Gu slowly lit a cigarette. Seeing that Cheng Xu's eyes were flickering and avoiding his own, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Don't lie. I know you very well. You must have something to hide from us."
"Yes, yes. Usually, when you come to such an occasion, you have been staring at those beauties and drooling. Today, you look like a gentleman. There must be something wrong."
How could Chen Xiaolu not know her brother's character? She just wanted to see the world in chaos and echoed.
"No, no, really. I'm just waiting for a call from a friend."
Cheng Xu's eyes flickered. He put the phone into his pocket casually and explained hesitantly.
He didn't dare to say that he sent someone to break one of the investors' legs to make them retreat. But he could do such a dirty thing but he couldn't say it. It would be too shameful if he said it.
However, the three Japanese had been gone for a long time and hadn't sent back any news, which made him feel uneasy. He wanted to make a phone call to ask, but he was afraid that he would expose himself as the mastermind if he called when he was working, so he hesitated.
Childe Gu looked at him suspiciously. Although it was clear that this guy was absolutely lying, he couldn't force him to say it if he didn't want to say it.
"Oh, I know. Brother, are you in love? Tell me, which girl is it? Do I know her? "
Chen Xiaolu didn't think so much. Thinking that her brother was waiting for a call from a girl, she came to his side and put her arms around his neck, asking with a gossipy face.
Being stared at by Childe Gu, Cheng Xu was scared. His sister finally helped him out. He grinned and didn't look at Childe Gu's eyes. He said with a cheeky smile, "It's not clear yet. I'll tell you when the time is right."
"Wow, brother, this girl is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to make you, a playboy, lose your appetite. Hurry up, tell me a little. Tell me whether I know her or not, and I'll check for you. Don't worry, I'll never betray you in front of Mom and Dad."
Chen Xiaolu shook her brother's arm and said coquettishly.
"No, I need to pee. I need to go to the toilet."
How could Cheng Xu have a girl he liked? He could only escape from his sister's questioning by peeing.
"I also need to go to the toilet. I'll go with you."
Young Master Gu stood up and said.
He knew that Cheng Xu was definitely hiding something from him. Perhaps it was because he couldn't say it in front of Chen Xiaolu, so he planned to ask him in the bathroom.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Chen Xiaolu curled her lips and said disdainfully, "A lazy donkey is full of shit and urine."
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, which was awkward. Chen Xiaolu blushed, stuck out her tongue and explained embarrassedly, "Brother Gu, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about my brother."
"It's okay, I know you're talking about your brother."
Young Master Gu waved his hand and said to Cheng Xu, "Let's go."
"Oh!"
Cheng Xu had originally planned to go to the washroom alone to make a phone call, but now that Young Master Gu wanted to follow him, he was very reluctant. However, he couldn't reject Young Master Gu's request to go to the washroom with him, so he could only agree awkwardly and follow Young Master Gu to the washroom.
In the manager's office on the second floor of the bar, a young man was reclining on the office chair without a care for his image. He lazily crossed his legs on the desk and listened to music with headphones. If Ding Ning was here, he would definitely recognize this guy as Yang Qiyuan, who had followed him for dozens of kilometers like a psycho.
Two henchmen were staring at the bar's surveillance, which showed the booth where Chen Xiaolu and the others were.
"Brother Yuan, sister-in-law just hugged the man who came with her. It seems that their relationship is not normal. The man went to the washroom, do you want us to …"
One of the henchmen with a nose ring saw Chen Xiaolu hugging Cheng Xu's neck and acting like a spoiled child. He immediately turned his head and shouted at Yang Qiyuan with righteous indignation.
Chen Xiaolu often came to the bar to play. Sometimes she came alone, and sometimes she came with her colleagues. However, he had never seen her so intimate with a man.
Yang Qiyuan specially told them that they must ensure Chen Xiaolu's safety, but he didn't tell them her identity, so these henchmen all thought she was the woman that Brother Yuan had a crush on.
How could Brother Yuan's woman be so intimate with another man in his territory? How could this be? He immediately asked Brother Yuan if he should teach him a lesson.
Yang Qiyuan didn't hear it at all because he was wearing headphones. He was probably listening to the climax of the chorus. He closed his eyes and kept nodding his head with an intoxicated expression.
Therefore, the young man with the nose ring misunderstood and smiled in understanding. He shook his head at the young man with a single earring beside him and said aggressively, "Little Xun, let's go and teach that guy a lesson. He even dares to flirt with Brother Yuan's girlfriend. He's really courting death."
The man with the earring deeply agreed and immediately rubbed his palms together. He valiantly followed the man with the nose ring down the stairs to deal with Brother Yuan's "love rival."
Therefore, when Cheng Xu and Young Master Gu came back with bruised noses and swollen faces, Chen Xiaolu was completely stunned. What was going on?
"Brother Gu, Brother, what happened to you guys?"
Chen Xiaolu was so anxious that she was about to cry. She hurriedly went forward and asked.
"What else could have happened? You were beaten up. "
Young Master Gu looked at her strangely and didn't say anything. Cheng Xu, on the other hand, shook off his sister's hand that wanted to support him and questioned with his bruised eyes, "Are you in love?"
"Ah?"
Chen Xiaolu's face was full of confusion. "No."
"No? You're still lying? You didn't ask your boyfriend to beat us up like this? He even warned us to stay away from you. "
Cheng Xu was furious in his heart. Damn it, he was the dignified son of the governor of Qing Jiang. He was actually taught a lesson in his own territory. The worst thing was that even Young Master Gu was beaten up. If this were to be spread back to Yanjing, he would be laughed at to death.
He could lose everything except his face. If it wasn't because he was worried that this might be the doing of his little sister's boyfriend, he was ready to immediately call everyone to seal the bar.
"My boyfriend?"
Chen Xiaolu was even more confused. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. "I swear to God, I definitely don't have any boyfriend. If I have a boyfriend, I will definitely be hit by a car when I go out …"
"Alright, alright, why are you swearing? I believe you. F * ck, some bastard must have taken a liking to you. How dare he call himself your boyfriend. Just you wait, I'll call my dad right now and ask him to seal this damn bar and find those guys."
Cheng Xu saw his sister's sincerity and realized that someone must have taken a fancy to his sister. To think that someone would claim to be her boyfriend behind her back. This made him even angrier. He took out his phone and started dialing while cursing.
"Wait, don't call first. Let's figure it out first."
Although Young Master Gu was also very angry in his heart, those people mainly went for Cheng Xu. He was just a fish in the moat. He was not seriously injured, so he could still maintain his rationality. Thinking that this place was recommended by Secretary Yang, it must be the people secretly protecting Chen Xiaolu who saw her intimate with Cheng Xu and misunderstood something.
"What is there to figure out? Isn't it obvious? Some gangster must have taken a fancy to Xiaolu and regarded me as Xiaolu's pursuer. Damn it, I have never suffered such a big loss in my life. No matter what, I will get my revenge today. "
Cheng Xu scolded angrily.
When he was in Yan Jing, his heart was like a mirror who he could and could not offend. It was always him who stepped on others and was blocked in the bathroom and beaten violently. This was really the first time in his life.
"Okay, if you want to call, don't call your dad. Call Secretary Yang."
Young Master Gu also did not know the situation. Seeing that Cheng Xu was so angry, he did not say much. But still considering Secretary Yang's face, he suggested that Cheng Xu directly call him and see how he would deal with it.
"Okay, I will call Secretary Yang."
Cheng Xu agreed. With his father's temper, if he knew that his sister had brought them to such a messy nightclub, not only would he stand up for Cheng Xu, he might even scold Cheng Xu until he was scolded. His sister would be scolded as well.
Yang Qifei sent Governor Cheng and the governor's wife home and returned to the office to organize the materials needed for tomorrow. As soon as he got home, he quietly entered the side bedroom, looked at his son who had fallen asleep, kissed him on the forehead, and then quietly left.
His wife was still awake and waiting for him. Smelling the smell of alcohol on him, she hurriedly took his coat and hung it up. Then she made a cup of tea for him and complained in a low voice, "Why did you drink so much again?"
"Well, I can't help it. I have to receive two investment investigation groups. Even Governor Cheng drank a lot. How can I drink less?"
Yang Qifei leaned on the sofa tiredly, rubbed his temples, and said with a wry smile.
"Well, you drink a cup of tea to get rid of the alcohol first. I will go to prepare a bath for you. Wash up early and go to bed."
His wife knew that as the governor's secretary, these social activities were inevitable, so she no longer complained. She stood up and said with a little heartache.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Yang Qifei nodded. As soon as he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the phone on the tea table began to vibrate.
Yang Qifei frowned and looked at the time. It was already past 12 o 'clock. Who would be so stupid to call him at this time?
Looking at the caller ID, he suddenly shivered all over and quickly picked up the phone. "Hello, Xiao Xu …"
"Secretary Yang, I was beaten in the decadent era. Hurry up and ask someone to come."
Cheng Xu's suppressed angry voice came from the other end of the phone. It seemed that he was afraid that Yang Qifei would not take it seriously, so he put a big hat on him again and said in a businesslike manner, "Childe Gu was also beaten. He is an investor. This is obviously destroying the environment of attracting investment. We must deal with it seriously."
The sweat on Secretary Yang's forehead suddenly flowed down, and his mind was blank. He trembled all over and did not say anything for a long time.
Something had happened, something big had happened. It was okay that the governor's son was beaten, but even Childe Gu was beaten. Not to mention Childe Gu's identity as an investor, his powerful background alone was enough to make him realize the seriousness of the situation. If he did not handle it well, his career would end.
If it was any other night club, it would have been fine. Although the situation was serious, it would not have involved him. However, the place where the accident happened was his brother's bar, and he had specially recommended it to her to ensure Chen Xiaolu's safety. But no matter what, he did not expect that such a big thing would happen. This was the rhythm of piercing the sky. It made him feel like he had moved a stone and smashed his own foot.
"Xiao Xu, don't get excited. Stay there and don't go away. Protect yourself. I'll be there right away."
Although he was flustered, Yang Qifei still said steadily after calming down.
After hanging up the phone, he did not have time to take a bath. He did not even have time to say goodbye to his wife. He put on his coat and shoes and left in a hurry.
"Qifei, where are you going so late at night?"
When his wife just came out of the bathroom after filling the water, she heard the footsteps of Yang Qifei leaving in a hurry. She could not help but shout, but did not get any reply. She could not help but sigh faintly.
The governor's secretary seemed to have infinite glory in the eyes of outsiders, but only his wife knew how much hard work and tiredness were behind this glory.
