Chapter 129 Being Tricked
At the same time, in a high-end club in Kyoto, a group of rich second-generations were drinking and playing board games.
Zhang Hanzhou sat in the middle of the sofa. Unlike the other rich second-generations who were surrounded by girls, there was an Omega with slightly curly hair sitting next to him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, you have a partner so soon." A boy with a red face teased, his eyes scanning Hao Jia up and down without any concealment.
This was also the first time Hao Jia attended such an occasion. He blushed and quickly waved his hand to clarify, "No, we are just friends now."
"We're just friends now, do you hear me? What does this mean? It means we won't be ordinary friends in the future!" The boy spoke in a very loud voice, and the people around him followed suit. Hao Jia felt both excited and shy.
Hao Jia glanced at Zhang Hanzhou secretly. Ever since he fell into the water at Zhang's house, Zhang Hanzhou had been taking good care of him. He often brought him food and took him out to play. He really liked Zhang Hanzhou.
Zhang Hanzhou did not deny it, but just smiled meaningfully, which made others more excited.
"What is your matching degree? Can you tell me?"
Hao Jia said in a low voice, "Ninety percent."
"So tall? They are a perfect match."
"I'm so jealous. I've been in seven or eight relationships and none of them were above 90%."
"Since you've checked your compatibility, you two should get together as soon as possible."
…
Just as everyone was talking and pushing the atmosphere to a climax, the door of the club's private room opened.
Three waiters carrying drinks came in and placed the drinks that had just been ordered on the coffee table.
All the waiters in the club wore hats, but one of them was very tall and also wore a mask.
Zhang Hanzhou looked at him twice more.
"Sorry, he has a cold and is afraid of infecting the customers, so he wears a mask." The leading waiter explained with a smile.
Zhang Hanzhou didn't pay much attention to it, but when he took the wine glass from the waiter, his palm touched something rough and his expression changed slightly.
Zhang Hanzhou looked at the waiter in doubt, but the waiter's hair was pressed down by the brim of his hat, almost covering his eyebrows and eyes, so he couldn't see the man's appearance at all.
"What's wrong?" Hao Jia noticed that Zhang Hanzhou's body suddenly became very stiff and his expression became increasingly unnatural, so she lowered her voice and leaned closer to ask.
Zhang Hanzhou stared at the waiter as he turned and walked out, silently clenched his palms, and crumpled the note that had just been stuffed into his palms through the wine glass.
Others did not notice anything unusual.
After everyone drank some wine, their minds began to become hazy. Zhang Hanzhou, who had not drunk much, stood up and left the table, "I'm going to the bathroom."
He walked out of the private room quickly, found an empty corner in the corridor, took out the note from his pocket and unfolded it.
There were only four words written on it - See you at the old place.
Zhang Hanzhou's pupils trembled, and he looked up in panic. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he took out his cell phone and called the driver at home, "Drive the car to the downstairs of the club. I have something important to do. We should go there and come back quickly."
This old place is actually a lighthouse on the seashore. This is the place he and the president of the Chamber of Commerce agreed on. Whenever they need to meet, they go there. That lighthouse is an unmanned lighthouse. There is no surveillance and it is surrounded by desolate areas. Basically no one goes there.
Zhang Hanzhou was worried that the president was looking for him because there was a problem with the project, so he didn't dare to delay and hurried downstairs without even saying hello to his friends.
The weather is not very good tonight. The sea breeze is wet and salty. The dark night rolls over the waves, which hit the rocks on the shore and make a series of creepy noises, as if they will rush ashore and swallow people in the next second.
When Zhang Hanzhou arrived, the president of the Chamber of Commerce had already arrived.
He was wrapped in a thick coat, and when he made eye contact with Zhang Hanzhou, his eyes were full of impatience, "Can't we meet during the day? Do we have to meet here in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Hanzhou stood there in a daze, "Didn't you look for me? I received your note." He subconsciously touched his pocket, but after touching it twice, he realized that he had already destroyed the note and flushed it down the sewer.
The president's eyes narrowed slightly, as if trying to understand something, "When did I send you a note?"
The two were afraid of being caught by the police, so they avoided communicating via mobile phone if possible.
He saw the message Zhang Hanzhou left under his computer on his desk in the afternoon, asking him to meet at the old place at nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Hanzhou's pupils dilated slightly, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable doubt. The waiter's figure flashed back in his mind, and an unspeakable fear rose from the bottom of his heart, freezing his hands and feet in an instant.
This couldn't possibly be Duan Huaijin... There was no way Duan Huaijin knew about what happened between him and the president.
"We've been tricked." The Chamber of Commerce president's nostrils flared, his face as gloomy as if thunder was pressing down on him. He immediately turned around to go downstairs, but suddenly a rapid siren was heard in the distance.
The two men stood on the lighthouse and clearly saw several police cars with flashing red and blue lights driving towards them along the coastal highway.
Zhang Hanzhou's legs went weak and he stumbled and almost fell, "How could it be..."
A police car stopped on the side of the road, and ten policemen got out and surrounded the lighthouse.
The leading policeman was followed by his apprentice. The two climbed up the stairs to the lighthouse and showed their credentials to Zhang Hanzhou and the president with a serious face. "Hello, we received a report from the public that the two of you are suspected of bribery. Come with us."
Zhang Hanzhou shook his head and argued, "No, police comrade, this is a misunderstanding, listen to me..."
"The sea breeze is too strong here. If you have anything to say, you should go to the police station."
Seeing that the policeman's apprentice was about to arrest him, Zhang Hanzhou became anxious, "Do you have any evidence to arrest him?"
"We are not arresting people, we are taking them back to understand the situation."
The police responded in a tough manner.
"The approval process for the seaside resort project is unreasonable. Normally, the approval process takes two months, but you only took half a month. During this time, you had close contact with the president of the Chamber of Commerce. We extracted your fingerprints from the gold bars in the president's home."
The president lost his temper when he heard this. He had a lot of things at home, not just the gold bars Zhang Hanzhou had given him. "You guys also went to my house? Who told you to go? I'm going to file a complaint against you for trespassing!"
After saying that, he forcibly pushed aside the young policeman blocking the stairs and wanted to go downstairs directly.
"We are handling our official duties as normal. If you refuse to cooperate, we can only use coercive measures!" The young policeman stopped him tightly and showed the handcuffs at his waist.
The red and blue lights of the police cars on the road kept flashing.
In a black car parked on the side of the road in the distance, Duan Huaijin watched the police car slowly drive away from the coast. He raised his hand and called Yu Chucheng.
"The report was successful. Zhang Hanzhou and the president of the Chamber of Commerce were arrested on the spot. How is the situation on your side?"
