There were no empty seats in the house, and the people sitting at the owner's table were mostly elders over forty years old.
Most of them were business district bosses in Hong Kong who were born with silver spoons in their mouths but whose lives in the past were not just as simple as running a business. The leader was Li Zekai, who was nearly seventy years old but still had dyed black hair. Sitting next to him He is the head of several major families in Hong Kong City.
Two of them were the brothers of Li Mingfeng and Huang Zhao, who had knelt down in front of Tang Xin in humiliation.
The past is unbearable to look back on, and the storms and waves have been reincarnated for nearly twenty years. They have long since let go of the past. What's more, the young master who didn't know the heights of the world at that time would occasionally talk about the events of those years and express the same emotion. If there hadn't been that setback, maybe, There is no glory today.
On the other side of Li Zekai were Bai Yeyu and his wife, who came from Tianhai, and Liu Baofeng's family of three.
No matter how low-key the marriage of wealthy families is, it still takes a lot of effort. It has to be held in a port city, another in Liu Baofeng's hometown in the capital, and finally another in Tianhai.
Bai Yeyu accompanied his wife back to her parents' home, and also attended the wedding banquet.
There were two juniors sitting next to them, one was Liu Baofeng¡¯s son Liu Xu, and the other was Bai Yeyu¡¯s son Bai Hao.
On this occasion, these older generation people don¡¯t care when the wedding starts or ends. It is obviously more important for everyone to get together than the wedding of young people.
Li Zekai pointed at the two juniors as an elder.
"Remember that time, your father and I were in Tianhai, how many years ago? I can't remember clearly. What was the oldest currency in the world at that time? Do you know? You definitely don't know! What do young people know now? They only know the Internet What is the most popular and trendy thing? Playing with the trend, huh, not doing your job! Let me tell you, it is called the British Pound. It was the most trustworthy currency when the British were the bosses in the world. Later, when the war started, the Americans pushed the British out of the leading position. Then the U.S. dollar was created. Probably, less than half a century ago, it said goodbye to gold. The gold standard system collapsed, and the U.S. dollar became an unshakable U.S. dollar. But the British pound was still the top three currencies in the world at that time. Did you know Twenty years ago, your father and I spent more than 3789/'>100 billion US dollars to attack the pound sterling in one day. Together we turned the oldest currency in history into waste paper! At that time We spent all our money, either all the pounds were spent, or we jumped off the building, but we won, you young people today. What you lack is this kind of courage! Look at you, you are well-dressed, handsome and unrestrained, and your hands are better than those of women It¡¯s still tender, tsk tsk. It won¡¯t work like this, it won¡¯t work.¡±
Liu Xu and Bai Hao were fascinated and nodded continuously.
Bai Yeyu and Liu Baofeng, who are middle-aged and elegant, looked at each other and smiled. I was extremely speechless towards Li Zekai.
Twenty years ago, he was an old boy who talked a lot. Twenty years later, he has not changed at all.
Tang Qian, who was outside the house, was about to walk into the house, but there was a rapid sound of brakes behind him. He stopped and got out of the way. A group of people walked out of a row of cars behind him. Tang Qian glanced at it, and then looked away. I plan to let these people go in first.
The person who came was headed by a tall and powerful middle-aged man. Although Tang Qian met him for the first time, he knew his identity.
Fang Zheye!
And among the group of people in suits and ties following Fang Zheye, there was a dignified and elegant woman in her early thirties, but Tang Qian deliberately averted his eyes to avoid looking at her.
Tang Qian thought to himself: Damn it, why did he meet Aunt Xiao here?
When Fang Zheye saw Tang Qian for the first time, his eyes changed slightly, but after seeing his appearance clearly, his expression returned to normal, and he walked briskly towards the house.
Xiao Qi, who had dark hair and a cold expression, stared at Tang Qian suspiciously as she walked.
like!
If they hadn't had something urgent at hand now, Xiao Qi would have gone over and asked Tang Qian a few questions.
When the group of people entered the house, Tang Qian looked at their backs thoughtfully.
Seeing them walking in a hurry and with solemn expressions on their faces, Tang Qian guessed that something bad had happened.
He lifted up the watch and pressed it gently. A hole opened on the surface, and a small mosquito flew out, and then flew silently into the house.
Tang Qian put on a headset and glasses. The tracking shot of the mosquito flying in the house appeared in the glasses lens, and at the same time, the headset transmitted real-time synchronized sound.
Fang Zheye walked between Bai Yeyu and Liu Baofeng, leaned down and said in a deep voice between them: "It seems something happened to Director Qiu."
Bai Yeyu frowned slightly and asked, "What does it mean?"
"Who? Qiu Qiang? Hasn't he been living happily in Europe?"
This old boy Li Zekai couldn't calm down. When Fang Zheye came over, he started eavesdropping. Fang Zheye obviously also noticed it, but he didn't intend to hide it from him.
Li Zekai knows that Qiu Qiang has been responsible for the global brand promotion work of Horizon Group and has established extraordinary business connections in Europe. However, to facilitate his life, Qiu Qiang has been living in Europe for the past ten years, in the world's top football clubs and the NBA League. He has bought a football club, a baseball club, and a club for different sports. His life is very regular every week. He travels from Europe to the Americas to watch his team play, and only after the competitive league season is over. When I have free time, I will go back to China to hang out with my friends.
Xiao Qi looked up at the door, as if her eyes were still searching for the young man who had just appeared, and said tepidly: "Director Qiu just called and asked us to prepare five billion euros, and also asked us to bring A thousand people went to Sicily, Italy. He hung up the phone without saying much. We suspected that he might have been kidnapped, but analyzing his tone and bluntly asking us to take people there, it didn't seem like he was being coerced. .¡±
It was in such a vague and unclear manner that I heard the words "something seems to have happened" from Fang Zheye's mouth.
Tang Qian, who was outside the house, put away his eyes and headset, recalled the mosquito for probing, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Qiu Qiang is an old friend of his father, which Tang Qian knows very well.
He put on the headset again, raised his watch and pressed the call icon. The operation panel changed and he made a call.
The sound of the phone being connected in the headset rang for a long time before someone answered, and there was dead silence on the other side.
"Tongtong, we have something serious to do."
"Huh, I'm angry! Why don't you take me out with you?"
"You are only thirteen years old! Uncle Tong doesn't want you to come out, it's not me who doesn't."
"Are you still afraid of my dad? I'm not even afraid!"
"That's because your dad is doting on you. If he really gets mad, no one can stop it. My dad can only watch you being spanked!"
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
Tang Qian informed the other party of the news he had just overheard and asked the other party to analyze it for him.
"Hold on."
After a while, Tongtong¡¯s innocent and clear voice of a young man came from the headset.
"If it were in Sicily, Italy, there would be only one person who dared to kidnap Dong Qiu, Gaspare, the godfather of the mafia of this generation. His lair is on a mountain on the coast of Sicily. It is heavily guarded, and the police will not go up the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain. No one dares to come close."
"Send me the coordinates."
"what are you up to?"
"Rescue Mr. Qiu and come back."
"Do you want to send someone to pick you up? There should be someone available in Italy, but give me some time, I'm going to ask dad."
"No need to bother, just send us the coordinates."
Tang Qian hung up the phone, and soon his watch, whose functions and uses were not comparable to Tang Xin's four-dimensional pocket, received the coordinates sent by Tongtong.
Before entering the warp space jump coordinates, Tang Qian sent a text message to Li Ziying on his mobile phone.
Then. He mysteriously disappeared.
In the courtyard, Li Zekai, Bai Yeyu, and Liu Baofeng were whispering and discussing what to do next. While they were debating whether to go through official channels or take private action, Li Ziying, who was in the house, came out and walked behind Li Zekai. He said in a low-spirited tone: "Uncle, please stop arguing. Uncle Qiu will be back within an hour."
"Who are you? How do you know?"
Xiao Qi was a little crazy. When she saw the girl wearing a Ma's shirt and white trousers, she felt that the couple she saw today were very eye-catching. Do you want to cosplay? This is too much!
Not everyone can copy that outfit!
Li Ziying saw Xiao Qi and turned to look aside with evasive eyes. Li Zekai pointed at Li Ziying and smiled proudly: "Hey, she is my brother's daughter, and she is also half of my daughter. Back then, I was as smart as a torch, so I gave her I found a good husband early."
"Bah, you clearly sold me out!"
Li Ziying scoffed.
Xiao Qi¡¯s face was full of shock. She rushed forward and held Li Ziying¡¯s shoulders, saying in a trembling voice: ¡°Ziying? Are you Ziying? Where is Tang Xin? Where is Tang Xin? Where is he?!¡±
The surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence. Bai Yeyu and Liu Baofeng each poured a glass of wine, touched each other and drank. Seeing this, Li Zekai also sat down, and the three of them drank without talking.
?? Whether Tang Xin is alive or dead, everyone here is not a fool. If even Xiao Qi believes that Tang Xin is not dead, others will naturally know it already, but??Everyone had a tacit understanding and never mentioned this person.
Li Ziying looked at Xiao Qi with tears in her eyes and excitement on her face, and lamented in her heart: I knew it would be like this!
She forced a smile and broke away from Xiao Qi's hand and said, "Well, Aunt Xiao, you can ask Tang Qian when he comes back."
Agrigento, the residence of the gods in Sicily, Italy!
This city in the central and western part of Sicily has left many temples, and the Valley of the Temples is famous.
The sea breeze was refreshing at night, and the sea tide was gusting. In the green mountains and dense forests, the air seemed to tear a hole, and a person walked out of it, and it was Tang Qian.
He looked around and looked at the terrain. Out of the woods was the road, winding up to the top of the mountain. There was a simple but very large manor.
Slowly walking up, when he was still about 500 meters away from the manor, he stopped because he noticed the patrols outside the manor.
Raising his arm, he pressed his watch, and a metal ball jumped out. Tang Qian pressed a small button on it, and saw the metal ball rising into the air and an invisible shock wave spreading around.
At the same time, a virtual three-dimensional figure appeared in front of Tang Qian's eyes, which was the scanned scene inside and outside the manor in front of him.
Heat source scanning can identify biological signatures. He counted carefully and found that there were more than a hundred people inside and outside, and there were three people in the hall of the building in the center of the manor. That should be where the owner was.
Tang Qian murmured: "I don't know if Uncle Situ's new invention will work. Let's try it."
After saying that, he gently pressed the control panel of the watch, and a gap opened on the surface, and a metal tool similar to a honeycomb jumped out from it. The name of this thing is the honeycomb, and the inventor is Situ Yanxin.
Tang Qian loaded the previous scan information into the hive. Except for the hall where the three people were in the manor, all other heat sources were locked.
Pressing the button at the bottom of the hive, it seemed as if a swarm of bees really jumped out of the hive and flew towards the manor in a dense and scattered manner.
"Each of these electronic wasps locked on a heat source target, flew to those people's necks and stung them hard. Almost at the same time, people inside and outside the manor covered their necks and then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
There was a sumptuous banquet in the manor hall. When Tang Qian reached out and gently pushed open the door, the scene in front of him was jaw-dropping.
Qiu Qiang, an old friend of his father, was drinking and conversing with a silver-haired old man, and there was a lady waiting beside him (To be continued.)
