Chapter 44 Come to pick her up

At the weekend, Teacher Xie at home called and said that she had recently seen a news report on a short video about a criminal case in Hong Kong. She advised her to travel with friends when going out, try to take the subway when going to and from get off work, and not to take the red-top minibus.

Liang Weining laughed as he ate an apple, "I didn't expect Teacher Xie to be so keen on confiscating students' phones all day long, but he ended up hiding in his office and secretly watching short videos. He said he would lead by example."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. Girls living alone must pay attention to safety. Making money is a small matter, life and health are the most important. If you don't listen, you will stay in Chengdu next year and you are not allowed to work in the port area anymore."

Teacher Xie spoke in a serious tone, and it seemed that he was really shocked by the news.

Liang Weining could no longer be so frivolous. She quickly assured that she would be extremely careful and let Teacher Xie rest assured. She was not a child anymore and still had the basic common sense to avoid risks.

After comforting her mother and hanging up the phone, she lay back on the lazy sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Until Gu Yunzhen came out of the bathroom, wiped his hair and asked her: "I heard that there is a famous bridge-under-the-spicy crab restaurant in Causeway Bay that is pretty good. Do you want to try it?"

The second half of the year has been so busy that my two best friends haven’t gone out to eat for a long time.

Liang Weining agreed readily.

Although they had to listen to their mother, they couldn't resist the rebellious gene in their cells. In the end, they chose the "deadly red van". The minibus driver was unruly in terms of his dress, way of speaking, and driving speed.

After experiencing a speeding car on the road, my heart felt like it was jumping off a building.

Her bestie asked her, "Come again next time?"

Liang Weining shook his head with a pale face, he would never do that even if he was beaten to death!

Bridge Under Spicy Crab, as the name suggests, is actually opened under the overpass.

It was already dark when the two arrived at the restaurant.

The boss spoke Cantonese, and it was Gu Yunzhen who communicated and ordered the dishes throughout the process.

Looking around with his chin on his hand, Liang Weining's bored gaze swept over a table of socialites not far away.

It was a very cold day, and the tendons and tattoos on his arms were exposed, which made him look very aggressive.

It was that careless glance just now that caused the trouble.

At this time, a private party was being organized at the Lantau Island Yacht Club, a high-end club in Discovery Bay, far away in the New Territories.

Yacht berths are scarce in the port area, and most of the members invited to join the club are either rich or noble. If you pass by the West Port and see a gray super yacht, it is the private property of a local capital tycoon.

At eight o'clock at night, the bay was calm.

Passing through the cleanly lit bar area, further ahead is the rear of the yacht with a huge jetted jacuzzi.

The indoor leisure area on one side was cool and quiet. Meng Xingzhi shook his wine glass and looked at the sparkling water below. He asked the man sitting opposite him, "Is half a year a long time? What are your plans for Beijing Huarun?"

The dusk was deep, and half of the man's face was hidden in the shadows. The light from the bathtub was projected through the glass, outlining his well-defined jaw. The low voice was calm, "What is Mr. Meng worried about?"

"I'm not that worried, I'm just worried that it will be difficult for you."

After all, the guy at Taiping Mountain has a tough attitude, and it might take some effort to get him to give in.

This industrial chain is related to China and Hong Kong’s layout in the North China market, and is also closely related to the Meng family.

It's easy to withdraw at the last minute, but it's hard to find such a perfect fit when waiting for the next opportunity.

While the two were talking, the prince of Zhou family swam out of the bathing pool below. After getting ashore, he took the bath towel and casually wrapped it around his waist, then wiped his hair and walked up the spiral staircase with his long legs.

"If you ask me, Lao Chen bought the island, bought the technology, and carried out research and development. The Beijing branch was also busy. Such a big move will inevitably affect the interests of some people."

Zhou Shixu picked up his bathrobe and put it on, then sat lazily on the sofa, raised his chin and concluded: "I guess China Resources is probably not going to work, but Old Chen still has a backup plan."

Mr. Chen from Hong Kong can decide life and death leisurely. If he doesn't have a plan in place, he won't take on a risky move at this critical juncture.

There was silence for a moment, and then the phone next to him rang.

The prince glanced sideways, his interest dull, "Old Chen's business call came again."

The caller ID showed Xu Zhou.

Chen Jingyuan put down his wine glass and picked up the phone to answer it. He didn't know what was said on the other end, but the man's expression suddenly turned cold.

Half an hour later, in the recording room of the Public Security Division of Causeway Bay Police Station, Liang Weining sat on a chair, staring at the male police officer opposite him.

Her best friend lived next door, and after the two separated, she lacked the most basic communication bridge.

The other party spoke a mixture of Mandarin and Cantonese, which she could not understand.

The chaotic scene was captured by a mobile phone, and the image quality is a bit blurry. In the middle of the process, the phone was snatched away and smashed on the ground. The newly applied screen saver was smashed beyond recognition, and in the end, nothing could be seen.

If we want to reconstruct the incident, we can only take it for repair first, but that takes time.

There was no way she could sit in the police station all night.

Fortunately, my best friend has been in the business world for four years and is quite adept at dealing with this kind of situation.

After Gu Yunzhen came out from next door, she pulled Liang Weining to the case handling hall to find a seat. Her acquaintances in the circle were mainly concentrated in Macau, and her qualifications to lead people were limited to Hong Kong.

"Who did you call?" she asked.

Liang Weining said: "My colleague, but he may not be available."

"No one else to look for?"

The girl shook her head.

After four months in China and Hong Kong, I can count on one hand the number of people I can rely on when things get tough.

Vivi is in Guangzhou. Several assistants in the secretary's office are very busy with their friends, so she doesn't want to disturb them.

Most of my former classmates at the University of Hong Kong who were close to me have returned to the mainland.

Come to think of it, Liang Weining is indeed quite lonely now except for her best friend.

About twenty minutes later, a police officer's voice came from the entrance of the hall, "Mr. Chen's call."

Then, the two were told they could leave.

Gu Yunzhen asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, is your boss nearby?"

Liang Weining thought that Xu Zhou had put down his work and rushed over. She was confused and said, "I don't know. My colleague didn't tell me."

When I walked out of the police station, I saw an extended Pullman parked quietly on the side of the road.

The license plate of that car was very special. Gu Yunzhen had seen it last time, so she recognized who it belonged to at a glance.

So what the boss could have done with just one phone call, but the two of them spent nearly an hour dealing with the police in the recording room.

The passenger door opened, Xu Zhou walked up to Liang Weining and said, "Mr. Chen asked you to get in the car. I will arrange for a driver to take your friend back."

You should always explain exactly what happened.

Liang Weining looked at her best friend beside her, who gave her a reassuring look.

Tonight's experience was so suspenseful and thrilling that I am still in a daze until now, as if I had just finished acting in a *social Hong Kong movie.

After watching her best friend leave in the car, she followed Xu Zhou into the car.

Liang Weining greeted and thanked him softly as he sat down.

Chen Jingyuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the girl. He slowly scanned her from top to bottom and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you hurt?"

"No—"

Before he finished speaking, the man's eyes suddenly locked onto the right side of her cheek.

Chen Jingyuan's breath suddenly sank, and his voice became cold.

"What's wrong with your face?"

　I've been a bit stuck these days, it's getting later and later~
