Chapter 347 Birthday Banquet
As soon as the car stopped, the passenger window rolled down. Ke Jiang stuck his head out and said, "You only have half an hour."
Tang Shuo nodded, got out of the car and walked directly towards the jeep.
When he opened the car door, he saw three people sitting in the back seat. Besides Lao Gu and Cheng Nianjiao, there was also a woman wearing a hood in the middle.
Tang Shuo said to Cheng Nianjiao who was sitting in front of him, "Come down first."
Cheng Nianjiao glanced at Tang Shuo, then looked inquiringly at Ke Jiang's face in front of the car. After the other party nodded, she got out of the car reluctantly.
Tang Shuo got in the car and sat down, then said to Ke Jiang in front of the car, "Let's talk for a while."
Ke Jiang hesitated for a moment, then turned to Lao Gu and nodded. Then the two of them got out of the car.
Aisha is an international wanted criminal and the National Security Bureau attaches great importance to her. After Mingzhu verified her identity, Ke Jiang was ordered to escort Aisha back to Yanjing.
Even provincial public security departments would have difficulty contacting criminals of this level, so Ke Jiang simply took advantage of the time he was sending Aisha to the military airport to allow Tang Shuo to meet him.
After Ke Jiang and the others got out of the car, Tang Shuo took off the hood on Aisha's head.
To prevent Aisha from committing suicide, Tang Shuo captured her and punched her twice in the mouth. In the dim light of the car, Tang Shuo could still vaguely see the wound on her mouth.
Compared to her dazzling appearance a few days ago, Elsa now seemed like a completely different person. Her eyes stared blankly ahead, devoid of any life.
"I was attacked again today. It must be that the sun found someone to replace you." Tang Shuo said lightly.
After looking in Tang Shuo's direction, Elsa turned her head and looked forward, as if she didn't hear what Tang Shuo said at all.
Tang Shuo was not dissatisfied with Aisha's behavior, and continued to say: "I know you won't tell me anything I ask you, so I won't ask you.
Then he took out a small, pale yellow medicine bottle from his pocket, stuffed it into Elsa's handcuffed hands, and said, "Jesus asked me to give this to you. Wait until the Chinese hand you over before you take it!"
Aisha tightly grasped the medicine bottle that Tang Shuo handed over and asked in a very hoarse voice, "Is he okay?"
"I was shot, but it's nothing serious." Tang Shuo replied: "Take care of yourself!"
After Tang Shuo finished speaking, he opened the car door and prepared to get out.
Elsa suddenly said without thinking: "Butler!"
Tang Shuo turned his head to look at Aisha, and seeing that she had closed her eyes, he did not ask any more questions. He simply opened the car door and got out.
"Have you finished asking?" Ke Jiang, who was standing in front of the car, asked.
"Um."
Tang Shuo nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Ke Jiang opened his mouth but said nothing. After giving Cheng Nianjiao and Lao Gu a look, he drove away.
…
Xinghai International Community.
"Do you think my clothes are suitable?" Lu Wanqi looked at her evening gown and asked with some concern.
"Very good." Tang Shuo replied helplessly.
"But I always feel like something is wrong." Lu Wanqi frowned and said, "The black suit I wore the first time is more suitable. I'll go change."
Tang Shuo glanced at the clock on the wall and urged helplessly, "You've already changed three sets of clothes. This one is already very good. We're almost running out of time."
He had begun to question whether it was the right decision to bring Lu Wanqi along. The time he had agreed with Wang Qiuchen was eight o'clock in the evening, but it was already half past six and Lu Wanqi had not yet decided what to wear.
"Then let's go with this one!" Lu Wanqi compromised helplessly.
This was the first time she and Tang Shuo attended a formal event together after they fell in love, so the requirements for clothing were inevitably higher.
Tang Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. After taking Lu Wanqi downstairs, he said hello to Wu Lingyun and drove towards the place where he had agreed to meet with Wang Qiuchen.
Outsiders know that the place with the highest housing prices in Mingzhu is Lujiazui, but the real locals of Mingzhu actually look down on places like Lujiazui, because there is a place called Nanxiang in Mingzhu.
The Chinese are more or less superstitious about Feng Shui and metaphysics. Even without mentioning the traffic and environment of Nanxiang itself, from a simple Feng Shui perspective, this place can be regarded as a blessed land.
Nanxiang is located in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River. If the Huangpu River is like a dragon entering the water, this is the location of the dragon's spine. Simply put, the residence is generally located in a north-facing south, with the left side higher and the right side lower, and the front wider and the back higher.
Nanxiang meets all these three conditions, so it has become a Feng Shui treasure land.
No matter how high the house prices are outside, you can basically buy one if you have money. But here, regardless of the original value of the house, even if you are willing to pay, people may not necessarily sell it.
The Wang family’s old house is here in South Lane.
When Tang Shuo drove to the Wang family's house, dozens of cars of various prices were already parked in front of the Wang family's door. In addition to several luxury cars that were rare in the whole of China, some more popular brands of cars were also very common.
However, if you check it out yourself, these Volkswagen brand cars are only ordinary in appearance. Anyone with a little common sense can see the unusualness of these cars. Except for a few top-ranked government cars, most of them are military cars.
In fact, the Wang family missed the opportunity only because of policy and political mistakes made by the old man of the Wang family. Otherwise, the other party would have been able to squeeze into the circle of the five major families now.
After Tang Shuo parked the car, he called Wang Qiuchen and asked him to come out and pick him up.
It's not that he was being arrogant, but Wang Qiuchen invited him by phone and didn't even give him an invitation, so Tang Shuo had no choice but to trouble the other party.
Wang Qiucheng quickly walked out of the house, greeted Tang Shuo, and led Tang Shuo back inside, saying, "I mentioned your situation to Grandpa, and he said he wanted to meet you. As for what he wanted to say to you, I'm not sure."
Tang Shuo nodded and pulled Lu Wanqi to look around the interior of the house curiously.
Seeing Tang Shuo's absent-minded look, Wang Qiucheng continued dissatisfiedly, "Be more serious. My grandfather prefers straightforward people. When the time comes, don't beat around the bush when you speak. Just say what you want to say."
“…”
Tang Shuo paused, looking at Wang Qiucheng in surprise and asking, "What did you say to your grandfather?"
He just came to congratulate, not to be a son-in-law, so why does he need to please the other party?
"I didn't say anything."
Wang Qiucheng replied, "I just mentioned our situation casually, and then my grandfather said he wanted to meet you."
In fact, Wang Qiuchen was also very puzzled by his grandfather's behavior. There was not even a trace of the cooperation intention reached between him and Tang Shuo, so why would he publicize this matter so publicly?
He was just laying the groundwork and introducing this matter to his grandfather. Unexpectedly, after reading Tang Shuo's information, the old man immediately decided to invite Tang Shuo over.
"Our business?" Tang Shuo said with a look of disdain: "Let me be clear first, we are just collaborating, there is nothing else going on!"
Wang Qiuchen staggered. He didn't dislike anything, so why did the other party dislike him instead?
However, he also knew a little about Tang Shuo's character, so he didn't intend to get angry about this. The key point was that it was not worth it at all.
"Remember what I said." Wang Qiuchen said angrily, and walked into the living room first.
Tang Shuo chuckled and pulled Lu Wanqi along, saying, "Let's go get something to drink first."
Lu Wanqi nodded and followed Tang Shuo inside.
…
The scale of the Wang family's birthday banquet was actually not very large, and most of the people there were middle-aged people over 40 years old. At first glance, Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi seemed to be the two youngest people there, so no one came to talk to them.
Tang Shuo was also happy to have some quiet time. He and Lu Wanqi found a corner to sit down and waited for Mr. Wang to show up.
