Just when Luo Jiaqi was overwhelmed with shame, the door was lightly knocked, and the waiter reminded: "Miss Luo, we are approaching the cruise ship. Please prepare yourself and your friends."
Luo Jiaqi was stunned and responded hurriedly, but her eyes that couldn't help but flash still showed the girl's panic at the moment.
Seeing that she was about to stand up, Chen Xiao pulled her arm and raised his index finger to his mouth, signaling her to calm down.
Luo Jiaqi stiffened, looked at him nervously with clear eyes, and whispered: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaoning listened to the noise outside and confirmed that the waiter had gone away, then said, "Don't you notice anything weird?"
Seeing that she still didn¡¯t understand why, Chen Xiao said directly: ¡°From the time you made the call to when they sent someone to pick you up, wouldn¡¯t you think it was too smooth? It¡¯s like it was arranged in advance!¡±
He didn't feel anything at first, but the moment he stepped on the deck, he suddenly realized that the waiter had been staring at him, with deep vigilance in his eyes. Instead, he didn't even look at Luo Jiaqi. Obviously, he had already expected Luo Jiaqi's reaction. Arrive, deliberately wandering around waiting, only his own company came, which was beyond his expectation!
Luo Jiaqi had a smart mind and understood the meaning in a blink of an eye, and said in a voiceless voice: "You mean"
Chen Xiao quickly blocked her mouth and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid we have already planned it. We have stepped into the trap ourselves. It seems that these people are not willing to let your family go so easily. They want to take advantage of this." Here¡¯s another chance to extort some benefits.¡±
"Have your daddy had any contact with that Uncle Li recently?"
Luo Jiaqi thought for a moment, nodded hesitantly and said: "That was a month ago, at the end of the acquisition of ATV. Uncle Li personally went to the company to find my daddy. I don't know what the specific discussion was about, but we ended up having a bad fight. Uncle Li he said in a warning tone at the end, telling me, daddy, not to regret it one day."
"That would be troublesome." Chen Xiao held his forehead and sighed. He smiled bitterly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that Uncle Li probably wants to take you and your brother as hostages and extort some benefits from your daddy, such as to cooperate with him again."
"If your brother was missing before, your family should be able to survive in a short period of time, but now even you are here. You, daddy, can't support you alone. Basically, you have no choice but to keep your head down."
Even though she had already guessed this possibility, Luo Jiaqi was actually frightened for a while after hearing this, and her face turned slightly pale. That was it. No matter how naive she is, she still understands that her trip will not be peaceful, and she will even have her father controlled by others because of it!
After all, he is a gangster. After falling out, he will not care about any human feelings. In order to squeeze out the final value, he will often do whatever it takes!
"Then what should we do now?" Luo Jiaqi grabbed Chen Xiao's arm, even though she was extremely talented in business. But after all, she is a weak woman, facing a group of black power bosses alone, no matter how strong she is, it will be useless.
"It's hard to turn back now. We can only act according to the situation. Besides, your brother is already on the boat, so we can't ignore it." Chen Xiao gave her a relieved smile: "But don't worry, according to what you just said, this Uncle Li After all, he is a person with a prestigious status, and there are other big bosses present, so he will not resort to some dirty tricks on the spot. After all, it is far from a dead end yet."
"Anyway, don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you and your brother lose even a hair!"
Seeing his smile, Luo Jiaqi couldn't help but feel relieved, and she wasn't in a state of chaos. Suddenly, remembering what happened just now, her oval face turned crimson again. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his teeth lightly and said, "By the way, what do you mean by the compensation you just mentioned"
"What's the point? Your efforts to help me take care of ATV is the biggest compensation for me and my family." Chen Xiao blinked his eyelids and said with a smile: "I can hear about your family's relationship with Daquan. It is estimated that the big bosses in the central government have already investigated the situation of the three generations of your family. Since they can rest assured to leave this heavy responsibility to your family, they will naturally not pursue it further. Of course, the prerequisite is to completely draw a clear line with the big circle. !¡±
"That's it?" Luo Jiaqi was stunned for a while. Seeing the playfulness in his eyes, she immediately realized that she had been teased. She was so embarrassed that her face almost watered, "You"
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking innocent and ignorant.
Luo Jiaqi was angry and couldn't express her "dirty" thoughts, so she stamped her feet bitterly, turned her head, pouted her pink lips, and muttered in Cantonese: "At this time, I still have time to take advantage of others. joke!"
Chen Xiao didn¡¯t take it seriously, he just wanted to use this little trick to divert her attention, but when he saw her pouting and sulking look, he reallyBeautiful and beautiful.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was half-crouching in front of her, looking at this Hong Kong socialite wearing her own coat. The soft and pure white evening dress clung to her graceful figure. She was especially attractive in the ambiguous light of the cabin, which perfectly interpreted the beautiful appearance and smart mind. artistic conception.
"What are you looking at, the makeup on my face?" Luo Jiaqi found that he was looking at her unblinkingly, and she lowered her head shyly and stroked her cheek.
Chen Xiao was about to answer when suddenly a distant whistle sounded, and at the same time, the waiter knocked on the door again to remind him.
"Let's go out first." Chen Xiao gathered his thoughts, took out his mobile phone and took a look. As expected, there was no signal at all!
Although he had been prepared for it, the moment he walked out of the cabin, Chen Xiao was still slightly shocked by the large cruise ship in front of him. He did not expect that such a high-level cruise ship would be used for a gang party!
At night, visible to the naked eye, this behemoth is a hundred meters long, parked on the ocean, like a white castle, quite majestic!
"This cruise ship was built by Blomfors Shipyard in Germany at a cost of 200 million euros. It was originally owned by a Russian oligarch. After a public auction by a British auction house the year before last, it was acquired by Zhi Gong Tang in Honolulu. It is jointly owned by their society. ." Luo Jiaqi explained: "Today, Zhi Gong Tang has become one of the largest organizations in the world's Chinese elite circles, and its strength in the business and political circles far exceeds the imagination of the outside world!"
Chen Xiao nodded. Obviously, this overseas Chinese organization has made a lot of profits from its cooperation with the ruling party of the Huaxia State. The top leaders of the Huaxia State have also gradually penetrated into the Western elite stage through Chinese organizations such as Zhi Gongtang. Get what you need!
"You two, please come this way."
After the small yacht sailed into the inner cabin of the cruise ship, the staff quickly laid a wide platform, and the waiter waved his hand.
Luo Jiaqi followed Chen Xiao and walked over, quickly took a look at the environment, frowned slightly and said, "Where is my brother?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe you can rest somewhere up there. I'll help you find it later." The waiter skillfully prevaricated, "Why don't you come up and sit with me for a while? Uncle Li and the others happen to be there. Drink tea up there.¡±
Knowing that they could not avoid this Hongmen Banquet, Luo Jiaqi and Chen Xiao looked at each other and nodded simply, "You lead the way."
The waiter looked at Chen Xiao a few more times, then turned around and walked to a small elevator. He entered a password on the numeric keys on the wall. When the steel door opened, he led the two of them to the elevator and went straight to the roof.
However, when the elevator rose to the second floor, Chen Xiao vaguely heard the noise, just like the atmosphere at a football stadium. He didn't know what tricks these gangsters were going to play when they got together!
He didn't want to think too much. With a crisp sound, the elevator arrived. The waiter walked out first, walked to the sandalwood door on the soft and thick carpet, knocked lightly on the door panel, and after hearing the response inside, shook his hand. He held the handle and opened the door a crack, then stood aside and motioned for the two of them to enter with a half-bow.
"Uncle Li has a very bad temper. Please pay attention. I will deal with it later and try my best to deal with it without irritating him."
Luo Jiaqi took advantage of the opportunity to hand back the suit jacket and whispered instructions beside Chen Xiao. She deliberately quickened her steps and walked in front of him, pushing the door open first.
Chen Xiao followed behind and walked in. When he saw the scene in front of him, his heartbeat couldn't help but beat a few times faster!
The decoration in front of you is undoubtedly quite luxurious and elegant. In addition to the original Western design style, many traditional Eastern styles are incorporated. Dragon patterns and other patterns appear in various corners such as beams and columns. The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge size. Ladies screen!
Depend on!
Chen Xiao cursed secretly. Although he had no research on antiques, he could tell at a glance that this lady's screen was a treasure that was lost from the Summer Palace. For decades, many cultural relic professionals and enthusiasts have searched the entire earth and found nothing. , turned out to be adopted by these overseas Chinese for their own use!
There was no time to look at the exquisite craftsmanship of the screen. The three men sitting on a set of mahogany tables and chairs in front of the screen quickly caught his attention. In an instant, a strong sense of pressure came over him!
"Hey, I haven't seen her for a while, and I almost don't recognize her. Lao Luo's daughter really looks like a fairy, tsk tsk!"
Among the three men, the only one in a suit and leather suit grinned. He looked like he was in his forties or fifties, and he did not have the elegance and calmness of a man in power. On the contrary, he showed a gangster air in his every move!
Luo Jiaqi slowly walked up to them, gave a generous salute, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, you have to make me unable to step down every time to be satisfied. If you do this again, I really don't dare to do it again in the future."Meet you. "
"That's a very modest thing to say. Even if you want to see me again in the future, you probably won't have a chance."
Uncle Li flicked his cigar, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line, with a ruthlessness similar to that of a jackal, tiger, and leopard, and he said casually: "Now that your family is so prosperous, as long as I come to your house to beg for tea, , I¡¯m lucky if I don¡¯t get rejected, why would I dare to trouble you and your dad!¡±
