Chapter 276 Creating Opportunities
Until a month passed, the days were still calm. During this month, Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi went to the winery several times and went to the new mountains to plant fruit trees, but the journey was peaceful and nothing happened.
"It's no use just waiting like this. Why don't we take the initiative to lure the snake out of its hole?" Xu Hexiao said.
"How do we lure the snake out of its hole?" The others looked at Xu Hexiao.
Xu Hexiao's eyes deepened, "The cocktail party the day after tomorrow is an opportunity."
Xu Zhaoyuan's eyes lit up. "The cocktail party the day after tomorrow has invited almost all the large and small companies in the capital. If the other party is our opponent, they will definitely attend. Then we will pretend to be drunk and give them a chance--"
Upon hearing this, the others nodded and also felt that this was an opportunity.
"I will be the bait alone tomorrow." Xu Zhaoyuan said. Being a bait is dangerous and he doesn't want his son to be in danger.
Xu Hexiao glanced at his father calmly, "Under the circumstance that we are not sure whether the other party is coming for you or me, I think it is better for the two of us to act as bait. I will notify Officer Lu in advance and ask him to secretly send someone to protect us."
Xu Zhaoyue: "What about Qiqi? Will she attend the cocktail party as your female companion the day after tomorrow?"
"I protect them both secretly." Lin Qi is not good at socializing and doesn't like it.
The night before, Lin Qi set out to the hotel where the cocktail party was held to familiarize herself with the terrain. On the night of the cocktail party, she was dressed in black, with her long black hair casually spread out, and her snow-white face was mostly covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.
With her current strength, when she deliberately hides herself, she will not attract other people's attention even in a crowd.
She hid herself in the green belt outside the hotel and blended in with a landscape tree.
She arrived late, and the party was already two-thirds through. She waited for a while, and people began to come out of the hotel one after another. They were red-faced and looked drunk.
Xu Hexiao and Xu Zhaoyuan's cars were next to each other. Both of them brought drivers tonight, but there was a special place for drivers to rest in the hotel, and tea was prepared, so they didn't have to sit in the car and wait.
When Lin Qi was bored, a short man wearing a black woolen hat appeared stealthily beside Xu Zhaoyuan's car. He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he easily lay on the ground and got under Xu Zhaoyuan's car.
Coming here for Xu Zhaoyuan?
The short man stayed under Xu Zhaoyuan's car for about five minutes before coming out. He stood up straight, glanced around, and after making sure that no one had noticed him, he strode away.
Lin Qi came out from under the tree only after the other party had walked a hundred meters away.
thump--
The little man suddenly fell flat on his face and rolled down the stairs. Feeling guilty for doing something bad, he didn't even bother to see if anyone was attacking him, and just got up and ran.
However, he fell again after only two steps.
This time his head hit the ground with a thud. The little man's eyes sparkled and he struggled to get up. However, before he could escape, he was caught and tortured by Lu Huazhang who was waiting in secret.
"I'll ask someone to come and look at the car and see what he did to it." Lu Huazhang said to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi shook her head. "The party isn't over yet, there's no rush."
"The other party has a backup plan?" Lu Huazhang frowned. What kind of deep hatred must be so deep that he must put someone to death?
Lin Qi returned to the tree again. This time, he didn't stay long before he saw two drivers supporting Xu Hexiao and Xu Zhaoyuan out of the hotel respectively.
The two "drunkards" were supported by others and did not forget to chat with others. A group of people came out of the hotel gate, dispersed at the gate, and walked towards their own cars.
Seeing Xu Hexiao and Xu Zhaoyuan, father and son, getting closer, Lin Qi's eyes remained calm and she did not let down her guard.
Xu Hexiao looked towards where Lin Qi was hiding, and their eyes met.
Xu Hexiao was about to mouth the words to Lin Qi, but suddenly he saw Lin Qi's expression change...
Time seemed to slow down suddenly, and Xu Hexiao saw the green vines come to him in an instant like a flash of lightning.
The vines swept towards them with such force that the four of them fell to the ground.
The next second, there was a sound of breaking air, and two bullets swept towards the place where they had just stood.
As the glass shattered, Xu Hexiao and the other three finally understood what had happened.
Just as Xu Hexiao was about to get up from the ground, Lin Qi's voice suddenly came to his ears, "Lie down on the ground and don't move."
Immediately afterwards, a shadow passed by them and shot off in one direction.
"The other party has a gun. Will Qiqi be in danger?" Xu Zhaoyuan couldn't help but worry.
"Listen to Qiqi. If she tells us not to move, then we won't move." Chasing after her would only be a burden. Since he couldn't help her, he would just be a good boy and not distract her.
About a minute later, Lu Huazhang and his men came to Xu Hexiao.
"I have sent people to chase him. Don't worry, we will definitely catch him this time." Lu Huazhang said.
"With Qiqi, I have nothing to worry about."
"..."As a man, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?
"By the way, Mr. Xu's car was tampered with. For safety reasons, I plan to have both cars checked."
"Is it my car?" Xu Zhaoyuan frowned. Doesn't this mean that the other party is coming for him? Who could it be?
Xu Hexiao glanced at his biological father, then turned to Lu Huazhang, "Has he been caught?"
"She caught him. It was your Qiqi who caught him." Lu Huazhang said expressionlessly.
As Lu Huazhang finished his words, two dark shadows fell at his feet.
"It's all here." Lin Qi said.
Lu Huazhang: “…”
"How about working in our police station? With the rate you're making achievements, you'll be promoted to deputy chief, if not chief, within ten years." With a subordinate like this, why worry about unsolving cases?
"Not interested."
Xu Hexiao and Xu Zhaoyuan's car was left behind to investigate the problem, and the others got into Lin Qi's car and left.
"Those two men with guns have accents from Hong Kong City." Lin Qi suddenly said.
Xu Zhaoyuan's expression froze, "Someone from Hong Kong City?"
"You came to the mainland, and the enemies are chasing you?" Xu Hexiao raised his eyebrows.
"In Hong Kong City, I don't have any enemies who are willing to threaten others' lives. Even if there were, I should have dealt with them in Hong Kong City, and not wait until a few years later, when I came to the mainland." Xu Zhaoyuan was puzzled.
"You forgot the Si family." Xu Hexiao reminded him.
Xu Zhaoyuan was stunned and subconsciously felt that it was impossible. Mr. Si would not take action against him just because he and Si He were divorced. The other party also wanted him to help the Si family.
"If you die, the family business you created on the mainland will become the Si family's." Xu Hexiao said coldly.
"Impossible. I have made a will. After my death, all my property will be inherited by you." Xu Zhaoyuan retorted.
"What if the other party doesn't know that you have already made a will?" Xu Hexiao sneered, "We are father and son, but legally I am not as legitimate as him. After all, your previous identity cannot be verified now."
Xu Zhaoyuan was speechless. At this moment, there was a voice in his heart thinking that perhaps, this was really done by Si He.
After that, Xu Zhaoyuan didn't say anything. He had a gloomy face until he got off the car.
"If it was really Si He who did it, I won't let her go."
Lin Qi didn't know what happened next. She only knew that a few days later Xu Zhaoyuan said he was going to Hong Kong. Xu Zhaoyuan was going to Hong Kong, and Xu Zhaotu and Xu Zhaoyue were also going back abroad. The house became much quieter.
The days that followed were peaceful and stable. Xu Hexiao finally rented arable land, which was only 200 mu at the beginning. For this purpose, he specially bought several farming machines from abroad.
"Two hundred acres is just the beginning. There will be more in the future. Let's buy the machines first to be prepared." Xu Hexiao said.
The two hundred acres of land that Xu Hexiao rented were all paddy fields, and could only grow rice. Lin Qi planted rice on the two hundred acres of land before the end of spring plowing. The climate in the north is relatively cold, and rice can only be grown once a year.
However, Lin Qi did not intend to follow common sense. The two hundred acres of land were connected, so she fenced off the land to block the view from outside.
On the tenth night after the rice was planted, Xu Hexiao drove a truck to the field. Lin Qi was responsible for harvesting, and he was responsible for loading the truck.
In the middle of the night, the truck ran five or six times to collect the rice and put it in the new warehouse they built in the suburbs. Xu Hexiao planned to build another winery nearby to make some other types of wine. Now there are only wine and fruit wine, which is a bit monotonous.
Rice alone is not enough, they also have to grow other crops.
After working all night, the couple drove back home when it was already dawn.
The two returned to their room, took a quick shower, then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao worked for a month and the warehouse was filled with rice.
They then paused, replanted the rice, and allowed it to grow at a normal rate.
At this time, Xu Zhaoyuan, who had been to the port city, came back.
"Where is the person? Killed?" Xu Hexiao's tone was indifferent and cold.
Xu Zhaoyuan smiled bitterly, "She wasn't killed, but she will have to spend the rest of her life in bed."
"Tsk, you are so soft-hearted. Is it her fault that you have never had children? She even killed your child, and you could tolerate it?" Xu Hexiao almost said, "Are you a coward?"
"Her father saved me." Xu Zhaoyuan said helplessly.
"Because her father saved you, she can get away with killing people? How innocent were the people who were killed? One corpse, two lives, a pregnant woman and an unborn baby. What sin did they commit that one followed you and the other became your child, so they had to suffer those things?" There was no warmth in Xu Hexiao's voice.
Xu Zhaoyuan's figure swayed and his face turned pale.
Xu Hexiao did not feel any pity, and sneered, "You can't even protect your own woman and children. You are really useless."
After saying this, Xu Hexiao strode back to the main building.
Lin Qi was drinking freshly roasted tea in the living room. When she saw Xu Hexiao coming in, she asked, "Aren't you worried that Dad will get sick from you?"
"He deserves to get sick from being angry." Xu Hexiao was cold and ruthless.
