Chapter 53

The door was kicked open vigorously, and Xu Xingcheng was caught from the bed by Hong Zhengbao and knocked him to the ground with a punch. “You beast, what did you do to my daughter!”

Lin Qikai followed behind, his face pale.

Xu Xingcheng was not awakened from a hangover, and he was beaten in the mist with this punch. He covered his eyes and stood up on the bed. Suddenly heard a scream behind him, he turned around and found that Hong Lan was sleeping on the bed he had just laid on, pulling the quilt. His face was not much better than Hong Lan. “Why are you here!”

“We should ask you this sentence. Mi Zhu, this is the room I opened for Hong Lan last night. Why do you have the key?”

“I drank too much last night. I drove up to this hotel and wanted to sleep for one night. The key was given by the front desk and I fell asleep when I came up. I don’t know anything.”

He was about to go to the military academy for training, thinking about the affairs of this period only felt very sad. He drank his sorrows every day, and often stayed in the hotel outside. He was too drunk last night, vaguely identified the position of the bed, and threw himself on the bed and fell asleep. I didn’t even notice that there was a person in the bed.

“Master Hong, Master Lin, Master Xu. It’s our mismanagement and the front desk gave the wrong key. I have brought this kid up to get the crime.” The hotel manager bowed and bowed tremblingly. The front desk on duty yesterday knelt directly at the door.

Hong Zhengbao rushed up and slapped him in the face. “Do you know that your mistake is enough for me to throw you into the Huangpu River a hundred times!”

The male waiter at the front desk knelt on the ground shivering, and kept kowtow. “Master Hong, I was wrong! I really didn’t mean it! It was really too sleepy late at night, and my eyes were muddled by shit.”

Hearing this, Lin Qikai breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that Xu Xingcheng would indeed not do this kind of thing taking advantage of others’ danger, but it is always a bad reputation for girls to spread it out. Even if they believed that Hong Lan’s innocence was still there, the outside world didn’t know what it would be like.

He left Hong Lan alone in the hotel last night, and he can’t shirk the blame for this incident.

Lin Qikai turned to Hong Zhengbao and apologized. “It’s all my negligence. Fortunately, their marriage was reported before, and no one would make a fuss about it. Lan Lan was frightened. Uncle will take her back to rest. I will take care of the rest.”

Hong Zhengbao gave Xu Xingcheng a fierce look, held his daughter in his arms, and helped him out.

Lin Qikai took a sum of money from the briefcase and stuffed it into the manager’s hand. “I don’t want to hear anyone other than this room talk about this. Even if others see and ask, Miss Hong and Shaoye Xu are unmarried couples with a marriage contract. You know what to say.”

“I know. Miss Hong and Young Master Xu are out on a date.” The manager took the waiter at the front desk and quickly stepped back.

Lin Qikai and Xu Xingcheng were the only ones left in the room. He looked at him with complicated eyes. “Mi Zhu. Now that things have reached this point, if you are still a man, you should take the responsibility and stop thinking about anything you shouldn’t have!”

“Why! I didn’t do anything. My father didn’t agree with me and Tianying because of her identity. Now she is your sister. It would be great for our two families to marry and be strong. Dad will agree. I want to and Hong Lan canceled the marriage contract.”

“Pop.” Lin Qikai’s palms numb with a slap in the face. “Xu Xingcheng, you insulted both Hong Lan and my sister in this way. My sister Lin Qikai will never fall victim to a political marriage. You can listen to me clearly, the wife you are marrying in this life can only be Hong Lan. !”

Xu Xingcheng covered his face and smiled miserably, his father beat him, Luo Fusheng beat him, and Lin Qikai beat him too. Is he a cockroach that anyone can step on now? “What qualifications do you guarantee? Even you yourself are a political marriage. My stupid sister still cheerfully fantasizes about how happy it is to marry you. She doesn’t know that her fiance likes her future sister-in-law! It’s a sin! What kind of fate…”

Lin Qikai was said to be the central issue, his face pale. Take a sigh of relief. “Don’t hit my sister again, my father won’t let you go. Treat Hong Lan well, otherwise I won’t let you go!”

After he finished speaking, he went angrily, and he didn’t recall the strangeness of the incident until he sat in the car. Xu Xingcheng was so angry just now that he forgot to ask the front desk carefully.

That’s it. No matter who is behind the scenes, his purpose is very clear, which is to facilitate the marriage of Hong Lan and Xu Xingcheng. It is pointless to investigate further.

Although this matter has not spread in the world, it is effective soon. The Xu family’s betrothal gifts were moved to Hong’s house by boxes, and a lot of them were added to the original rich list, which was enough to give Hong Gang a lot of face. Hong Zhengbao was also generous in his hands. He set up a garden in Shanghai, Beiping, and Nanjing for Hong Lan’s dowry.

These three places are political and economic centers, and his intentions are obvious. No matter what happens afterwards, Hong Lan has a retreat and a place to go whenever he wants.

After discussing the wedding date with the Lin family, it was decided that it would be half a month after Xu Xingcheng returned from the training camp, and the training camp would only last for three months. In other words, next spring will be the wedding of the century for the two of them, and only Xu Xingyuan is really happy among the four.

On the platform of the railway station, Xu Xingyuan and Lin Qikai bid farewell to Xu Xingcheng. Because of the last quarrel at the hotel, Lin Qikai didn’t want to come, and he didn’t want to save Xu Xingyuan’s face. Followed awkwardly.

Today Xu Xingcheng wore a yellow-green military uniform that was the same as the other soldiers on the platform, and carried a marching bag on his back. There is no excess luggage. I remembered that when he first returned to China, he had a neat suit and a big bag. Now this dress really looks like a different person.

Xu Xingcheng saw that Lin Qikai had been looking bad, and he knew that he hadn’t gotten rid of what happened last time. So take the initiative to show good. “Brother Zhongjing, I’m sorry. Last time I drank too much and talked nonsense. Don’t worry about it.”

Lin Qikai has always been a person who eats soft but not hard, and is a brother who grew up together. A few words drove him out of temper. “The military camp is not a vegetarian place, you must take care of yourself.”

“Got it. The car is about to drive, so go back soon.”

Xu Xingyuan hugged him reluctantly, before being reunited and then separated. She was the only one left in the empty annex. “Brother, I will miss you.”

Xu Xingcheng’s eyes softened a lot. “I will miss you too, Yuanyuan.”

“Mi Zhu, sometimes it’s useless to escape. You, Fusheng, and I are all brothers who grew up since childhood. Don’t be arrogant, wait until this training camp comes back and speak with Fusheng. How can the two brothers stay overnight? hatred.”

“You misunderstood, brother. Things are not what you think. The grudges between me and Luo Fusheng are not only because of Ruomeng, but there are also some things that I can’t talk to you. Please don’t interfere in this matter.”

“So many years of brotherhood, is it really gone if you don’t?” Lin Qikai wanted to persuade again.

“Perhaps he has never regarded me as a brother.” Xu Xingcheng’s eyes darkened, and immediately changed his face, and put his arms around Lin Qikai’s shoulders with a smile. “Brother, sometimes parting is for a better goodbye. Maybe one day, we can go back to the beginning.”

Lin Qikai sighed. “It’s okay. During this period of time, you and Floating Life will be separated for a while and be quiet, which is good for everyone. I hope that when you come back, you can be reborn and become a real man!”

“I will definitely work hard.” Xu Xingcheng smiled and fiddled with his weak arm muscles.

Xu Xingyuan whispered to Xu Xingcheng. “Brother, I don’t want you to change anything. I hope that when you come back, you will be the same you are.”

Her words were quite meaningful. Xu Xingcheng touched Xu Xingyuan’s head affectionately and nodded to her.

“Big Brother Lin, Yuanyuan, I’m leaving, see you later! Brother Lin, my sister will ask you to take care of me during my absence.”

Lin Qikai hugged Xu Xingyuan’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, take care of Yuanyuan, it’s your duty.”

Xu Xingyuan blushed after being hugged by Lin Qikai. Xu Xingcheng smiled upon seeing this.

At this time, the train whistle sounded. Xu Xingcheng followed the crowd of troops to the train, and Xu Xingyuan and Lin Qikai watched him. Xu Xingcheng couldn’t help but glanced back at Shanghai, a place full of memories, and then stepped onto the train without hesitation.

Watching the train go far, Lin Qikai walked to the other side of the platform. “Come out. He’s gone.”

Luo Fusheng emerged from behind the pillar and yelled with a low eye. “Big Brother, Miss Xu.”

“He has gotten into the tip of the horns now, and he can’t listen to persuasion. Don’t be impatient. I will look for opportunities for you to explain clearly.”

After speaking, Lin Qikai looked at Xu Xingyuan beside him. “Is your driver coming?”

“Yeah.” Xu Xingyuan knew that something was inconvenient for her to hear, and offered to leave first.

After Xu Xingyuan left, Lin Qikai looked serious. “Floating life, I will show you someone.”

“who?”

“Come with me.” Qi Fei drove them to a warehouse.

In the darkness, a light slit split open.

The warehouse door was opened by Qi Fei, and a crowd walked in.

I saw a person hanging in the middle of the warehouse. He had obviously been beaten, his nose and face swollen. The sudden glare made his eyes unbearable and unobstructed, and he squinted hard to look forward.

Luo Fusheng frowned. “Who is he?”

Lin Qikai walked to the person and raised his head. “You say it yourself.”

“I… I have told you everything I know. Brothers, if you do, just let me go. I still have a family.”

Qi Fei pointed at Luo Fusheng. “Do you know who he is? He is the young master of the Hong Gang-Luo Fusheng!”

When the tied man heard this, he was suddenly terrified and trembled. “I really didn’t participate, I haven’t done anything! I swear!”

“Tell what you know, say nothing and say it again!”

“Good, good, I said, my name is Feng Qi. One day, I was drinking and chatting with a friend whom I hadn’t met for a long time. He drank too much and bragged that he had done a big vote at Migaomei and shot… It’s… Hong Bang Young Master… Luo… Luo Fusheng.”

Luo Fusheng was startled, and grabbed his collar. “Say! Who sent him!”

“You have to spare your life, I really know so much!”

Luo Fusheng still pressed for questions, but was stopped by Lin Qikai. “Enough, Floating Life, we have used everything that should be used. He shouldn’t be lying, calm down.”

“Brother, if I didn’t put on Mi Zhu’s clothes that day, he would be the one who was killed! If you don’t find out the forces behind the scenes as soon as possible, Mi Zhu will always be in danger. He is now going to Nanjing alone. , All the way is a good opportunity for the murderer to start.”

“I understand. So after you were injured, I have been collecting information on Qi Fei through the relationship between three teachings and nine streams. Now the killer has finally revealed the fox tail. I will let Qi Fei continue to follow the vines to find out who is behind the scenes. Who.”

“No, that’s too slow. And don’t dirty your hands. Leave it to me. I will personally meet the black hand behind the scenes for a while.”

Luo Fusheng walked to the tortured person, took out a dagger, and slid the tip of the knife on him. “Now, I want to know the address and name of your friend. If you think about it clearly, if you make a mistake, you will take a piece of meat and feed it to the dog!”

“I said! I said all!”
