Chapter 217 Encounter
The dishes were just as Huo Qiao said, and tasted ordinary.
The three of them ate without much appetite, but fortunately the singers on the stage sang well.
"Look at the new one, he looks a bit like Shen Xingyi."
Pei Yuzhi looked over and saw a young man on the stage, dressed like Shen Xingyi. With the help of makeup, he looked a bit like Shen Xingyi, but a closer look revealed that they were different.
"Shen Xingyi is really popular recently, and his posters are all over China, but he and the Zhang family are just... forgetting it?"
Xu Jiang only heard about Shen Xingyi's life experience later.
He didn't know much about the details, and he didn't understand why the Zhang family held a family reunion banquet for a fake.
Huo Qiao: "It's good. He's a star, and the Zhang family wants to compensate him. His future will be smooth sailing."
Xu Jiang paused: "That's right."
The food here tastes average, but the cocktails taste pretty good.
The three of them had some time today, so they were all in a relaxed mood.
As they relaxed, they drank a little more.
Xu Jiang had the worst alcohol tolerance, and soon he was drunk and lying on the table.
"Send him home first, and then we'll go home."
Huo Qiao nodded, "I'll call the driver."
Pei Yuzhi shook his head: "The cocktails here don't taste strong, but I didn't expect the alcohol content to be so high."
When Huo Qiao stood up and helped the paralyzed Xu Jiang up, he heard someone calling Pei Yuzhi's name from behind.
The two turned their heads at the same time, and it was Shen Liang who was standing at the table not far behind them.
Pei Yuzhi was surprised: "Shen Liang? Why are you here? Didn't you call me two days ago to say you were going on a business trip?"
Shen Liang smiled: "I just came back. I was going to meet two friends next door. I saw your car at the door and thought of coming in to say hello."
As he said that, he lowered his eyes to look at the man who was still lying on the ground: "This is..."
Huo Qiao said irritably: "Xu Jiang, this pig, what has he eaten outside these days?"
Pei Yuzhi laughed: "You are drunk, I will help him."
Shen Liang paused and then stepped forward: "You two have been drinking, let me do it."
Huo Qiao did not hesitate and said directly: "Okay, or you can just carry him out, I am a little dizzy."
Shen Liang bent down and helped Xu Jiang up.
Xu Jiang was really drunk, and he couldn't use any strength. His body was as soft as a noodle, hanging softly on Shen Liang.
Shen Liang looked straight ahead at the road, but the person in his arms was unaware of it and hummed uncomfortably in his arms.
The surroundings were noisy, with people drinking, talking, and singing, so Xu Jiang's humming was nothing.
It was a short distance, and Shen Liang didn't hear what he said at all.
He easily helped Xu Jiang into the car, looked at his flushed cheeks for a few more times, and then got out of the car.
"Thanks, buddy. Let's have a drink together some other day."
Shen Liang laughed: "Mr. Pei, you're polite."
Pei Yuzhi: "I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time. If you hadn't reminded me to call the police, Su Su might have done something else."
Shen Liang: "Is there any progress in the case?"
Pei Yuzhi shook his head: "It takes time to restart the investigation."
Shen Liang's expression changed slightly: "Do you think the last incident has anything to do with Zhang Bocheng?"
Pei Yuzhi raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Shen Liang pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, I..."
Pei Yuzhi interrupted him, "No need to apologize, I can't say anything about what happened last time. My understanding of Zhang Bocheng is far less than your understanding of him. You know what kind of person he is best, right?"
Shen Liang's expression relaxed for a moment: "You are right."
Pei Yuzhi's expression was sparse: "You should have heard about the Baihui Group. I don't doubt anything they do. But if he wants to reach out to me, I won't let him off easily."
This time it was just Bai Xi who came to provoke Huo Qiao.
Huo Qiao just wanted to vent his anger on Bai Xi and beat him up. If there was really someone waiting in the alley to take Huo Qiao away.
It's still unknown what will happen.
Such a clumsy method is indeed unlike Zhang Bocheng's hand, but Pei Yuzhi would rather doubt him than give Zhang Bocheng another chance to take action.
Shen Liang: "I think he will leave the Magic City in the near future."
Pei Yuzhi raised his eyebrows: "Going to the Imperial Capital?"
Shen Liang shook his head: "No, he is a man with a strong self-esteem, he will probably go abroad."
Pei Yuzhi sneered: "Are you here just to test my background? You think too highly of me. Zhang Bocheng has a deep foundation. I am just a businessman. Even if he really finds someone to kidnap Huo Qiao or me, I can't do anything to him without direct evidence related to him."
"Mr. Shen is the boss of a company. Just do business well. There is no need to ruin your future because of a man who is not suitable for you."
Having said that, Pei Yuzhi got in the car.
The car window was closed, Huo Qiao opened his eyes, and asked with drunkenness in his eyes: "What on earth did Shen Liang come here for?"
Pei Yuzhi sighed: "I didn't expect him to be a romantic. He probably thought that we would do nothing to Zhang Bocheng. Who does he think can ignore the law?"
Huo Qiao was a little surprised: "He likes Zhang Bocheng?"
"Probably. He has been Zhang Bocheng's bodyguard for several years. The relationship between the two can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. It is normal for them to have feelings for each other, but Zhang Bocheng doesn't like him at all."
"Well, Zhang Bocheng wanted to seduce you at that time."
Pei Yuzhi: ...
He never thought that gossiping about others could bring trouble to himself.
But the two of them didn't notice that the person in the corner who should have been drunk and asleep opened his eyes at some point.
It turns out that he likes Zhang Bocheng.
No wonder.
No wonder he is so impatient with him.
He speaks coldly and never treats him well no matter what he does.
Xu Jiang pursed his lips in disdain. A rough guy, who really thought that anyone treated him like a treasure?
Zhang Bocheng looked down on him, and Xu Jiangye looked down on him!
