You Tianfu followed Qin Yuhao and was busy traveling back and forth between several manufacturing plants, while Hao Zhengguang and Lin Lidong were also busy these two days.
They invited Murong Jie out for a meal, deciding to meet at a secluded seaside restaurant near the fishing port. As soon as the three of them met, Murong Jie immediately noticed that You Tianfu was missing, and a hint of confusion crossed his brows: "Why didn't Brother Tian come today?"
Hao Zhengguang pushed him to sit down and chuckled, "Brother Tian is out, and we two brothers are bored, so we called you out for a drink and a chat."
After that, he ordered some wine and food. He waited until everything was served before locking the door and getting to the point: "Ajie, do you know what happened a while ago?"
The so-called 'incident' was naturally the accident that happened in Li Meng's house before. Although Wu Feiyue did not choose to call the police, there is no wall that is impenetrable. After working with Wu Wenshan for so many years, he was a well-known figure in both the black and white worlds and the business circle. How could no one talk about it when he was beaten into the hospital and had seven ribs broken overnight?
In fact, the news had already spread like wildfire the next morning, but it was mostly just rumors. After all, no one except the few people involved witnessed the incident. Everyone only knew that Wu Feiyue and Lü Chuan had fought at Li Meng's house. As for who won and who lost, and how the fight went, it was all up to imagination.
As for Yan Ming, the news was kept strictly under wraps. After all, his identity was quite sensitive, and human lives were involved. Even if some of the younger members heard something, they didn't dare to speak out. Otherwise, if the news got out, no matter which of the two major companies was in trouble, they would suffer the consequences.
Although Murong Jie is not a member of the circle, he has been hanging around in Lujiu City for many years. Everyone he meets is a brother and everyone he meets is a friend. Although there are not many serious people around him, there are basically a lot of familiar faces on the streets, so he is naturally well-informed.
As soon as Hao Zhengguang asked, he nodded immediately: "I heard about it. I was wondering why Brother Tian asked me for Li Meng's address. It turns out that you took Lu Chuan to seek revenge on his family..."
Lin Lidong responded, "We were the ones looking for Li Meng. Meeting Brother Dao was an accident. However, we're not looking for revenge, we're seeking his life!"
He spoke calmly, but it was this calm expression that made people even more frightened. Murong Jie rolled his eyes and took a sip of wine to cover up his inner nervousness: "People in this big company... do things directly... But then again, we live in a harmonious society now, and killing is no joke. Fortunately, Li Meng is not dead, otherwise if this had been reported to the police, wouldn't I have become an accomplice..."
This sentence hit Hao Zhengguang's heart. He leaned forward and whispered, "Li Meng is indeed not dead, but someone is already dead!"
Next, he and Lin Lidong recounted what happened that night, focusing on the process of Yan Ming's murder. After finishing, he patted Murong Jie on the shoulder and praised him as a "meritorious minister". If he had not provided Li Meng with accommodation and schedule, they would never have found such a perfect opportunity to assassinate him.
Murong Jie was also confused after hearing this. Although he had heard about this matter before, he only heard that Wu Feiyue was seriously injured that night, and he didn't know that there was a life involved.
He was a smart man and understood that the more you know, the more dangerous it is. He took a deep breath and looked up at Hao Zhengguang and Lin Lidong. "Brother Guang, Brother Dong, I know you two came here today with something to say. We are brothers. Although we haven't shed blood together, we have picked up girls together. If you have something to say, just say it. I, Murong Jie, have limited abilities, but I will do anything for Brother Tian and your business!"
Hao Zhengguang clapped his hands and clinked his glass with his. "What a wonderful saying, 'I'll serve you wherever you please, and I won't hesitate to do anything for you.' Brother Tian has been waiting for you to say this. From now on, join us. What awaits you in the future will be an infinitely beautiful future!"
After talking in circles for a long time, Murong Jie thought that Hao Zhengguang wanted to ask him for help with something, but he didn't expect that he wanted to recruit talented people.
The relationship between Daqin Group and Wenshang Trading is well known to everyone, and the interests involved are clear at a glance. No matter which side you join, you will enjoy the benefits while also bearing the corresponding risks.
He was used to being free and lazy, usually doing small things to make some money and sleep with girls. He could feed the whole family with his own food, and he thought he lived a carefree life, so he politely declined without even thinking:
"Brother Guang, it's not that I don't give Brother Tian and Second Master face. As I said earlier, my abilities are limited. I'm okay with playing with money, picking up girls, and performing magic tricks, but I can't bring myself to handle the high-level affairs of a large company. Please go back and tell them that Murong Jie appreciates this kindness. As I said before, if there's anything I can do for you, I'll be happy to serve you..."
Lin Lidong's voice sank, and he looked up and said, "Who said you should join the Daqin Group? This has nothing to do with Second Master. We simply think you're a good person, loyal, and sentimental. There's no question of joining or not. In fact, it's just one sentence: sworn brotherhood. Do you want to join?"
As he spoke, he took four large cups and filled them with white wine. He placed one cup in front of Hao Zhengguang, one cup in front of Murong Jie, and the other two cups in front of himself.
"This cup is mine, and this cup is Brother Tian's. If you think the three of us can get along for life, then drink this cup of friendship. From now on, the four of us will share life and death together. If you don't feel that the friendship is enough, just pretend that this never happened. Let's eat and drink as usual, without delaying anything!"
Lin Lidong usually doesn't like to talk much, but Hao Zhengguang was so excited by his sudden heroic words that he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Murong Jie was a thoughtful person. He'd have to think carefully before joining the Daqin Group. But when it came to sworn brotherhood with the three of them, that was a no-brainer. He nodded immediately and drank the entire bottle of liquor.
Lin Lidong finished his own cup and then picked up the second one: "Brother Tian, this is for me!"
He tilted his head back and just took a sip when Hao Zhengguang grabbed the cup and said, "Although you are old, you came in late. I have to drink this glass of wine for you no matter how it's your turn!"
Murong Jie, who was standing next to him, also came over after hearing this. The three of them competed with each other, and each drank the white wine in one gulp amidst the heroic words of brotherhood.
Some people are destined to be brothers. Winning over Murong Jie was a task assigned to Hao Zhengguang and Lin Lidong by You Tianfu. But even if he hadn't done it deliberately, Murong Jie could see that they valued friendship and integrity, and he'd already been interested in confiding in them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths, risking offending others, to help investigate Li Meng's information.
That night, the three of them drank heartily and didn't stagger out of the restaurant until midnight. They were all a little drunk. Hao Zhengguang wanted to go back to bed, but Lin Lidong said he wouldn't do anything else and insisted on going to the foot bath city for another stroll, muttering to himself, "This time... I'm going to find Dong'er again..."
