"Nonsense, we have serious business to attend to. I need to keep this money for a while."
"Is it about going up the mountain?"
An Xin heard something and was about to ask more questions when Feng Dazhuang stopped her, telling everyone to go back and rest, and that he would arrange the trip up the mountain.
Camel looked at the two women in the distance and said, "Boss, those two women are from the bar."
"Oh, this is the one Little Lei has his eye on. Tell the local thugs to keep an eye on him and not cause any trouble."
"Okay, got it."
Feng Dazhuang cherishes old friendships, but not many.
Meng Yu saw An Xin and wanted to come over to say hello, but after seeing An Xin's outfit, she quickly realized what was going on.
They probably guessed that An Xin might be an undercover agent, so they didn't pay any attention to it.
Meng Yu had her best friend drink too much, so she had someone take her away.
She wasn't in a hurry to go home. If she went home, her father would definitely not let her out.
Meng Yu wanted to wander around and play by herself for a while.
Returning home, the familiar streets and roadside scenery made Meng Yu very happy.
There is nothing better than home.
Unfamiliar songs were playing from the tavern.
Following the sound, Meng Yu pushed open the door and went inside.
A man, holding a guitar, sang softly.
The song is simple, and the lyrics are simple, but it really makes you feel comfortable when you listen to it.
I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword.
Look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always frivolous
Now you are home
The girl who once made you feel bad
Now it has vanished without a trace.
Meng Yu found a seat, rested her chin on her hand, and listened attentively.
Xu Lei looked at Meng Yu, greeted her, and then said, "Miss Meng, you flatter me. I invited you for drinks, and you actually paid for them."
"I wouldn't dare drink your wine. If I did, my dad would probably break my legs."
"What about this time?"
"Hehe, I still don't dare to drink. By the way, what's the name of your song?"
"The you of the past."
"That's really sad. How old are you? Why are you so sad about this?"
Xu Lei said, "Playing the deep and mysterious is just a way to flirt with beautiful girls, isn't it? Don't all girls like that?"
"To play the profound, you don't need to write such good songs yourself. I think you could be a singer."
Xu Lei said, "With such a large family and business, I have no choice but to drink. Since we're avoiding suspicion, I won't bother you any longer."
Xu Lei sat back down in his seat, and soon, girls from the tavern approached him, but he politely declined them all.
Xu Lei had no interest in such ordinary, common women.
As Xu Lei was leaving, Xiao Qiang handed a piece of paper to Meng Yu.
"Young Master told you to give this to you. This is the sheet music and these are the lyrics."
Meng Yu watched Xu Lei's departing figure.
[Ding, Meng Yu's curiosity has increased by 20.]
This man is a bit strange; he's shrouded in mystery.
Outside the bar.
"Xiao Qiang, how was it? Did I look cool just now?"
"You're so handsome! Miss Meng Yu was staring at you the whole time, and all the women in the bar were looking at you. Young master, those women look pretty good to me too, why don't you play with them?"
"You don't understand, young master, I'm planning to win over Chen Shuting."
That young master is truly something else. He's so powerful, killing people and even playing with his wife. He's ruthless.
P.S.: Please support me, thank you everyone.
Chapter Eleven: They're All Smart People (Please support, eleventh update)
Meng Yu wasn't stupid; upon entering the tavern, she naturally guessed that Xu Lei had made preparations in advance.
When Meng Yu arrived at the tavern entrance, she noticed someone rushing back, clearly setting a trap for her.
She inquired about Xu Lei and learned more about him, which further convinced her that Xu Lei was a meticulous man.
How could someone like that possibly give his all and his heart simply for a woman?
However, Meng Yu didn't mind these things. Living in the compound, she had seen too much deceit and treachery.
Over the years, many people have tried to connect him with his father.
If Meng Yu didn't know how to refuse, she would have ruined her father long ago.
"If you want to attract me and get my help, then we'll see what you're capable of."
During the time of Bai Jinhan, Meng Yu said this to herself.
But after looking at the lyrics, Meng Yu thought that this person was not bad, at least not ordinary.
It's much better than those who send flowers, cars, or houses.
Happily skipping around, Meng Yu returned home, only to see her father sitting on the table, smoking a cigarette with a gloomy expression.
"Dad, I'm back."
"You just got back and went out to play. Don't you see what time it is? And why did you even know to come back? Also, why did you go to Buckingham's place?"
"My best friend wanted to go there, so I went."
"Do you know that someone told me about your contact with Xu Lei the moment you met?"
"I know, but they helped me out of that situation."
"What if it was a setup by the other party? A deliberate act of 'playing the hero to save the damsel in distress'?"
"I don't think Xu Lei is that cliché."
After saying this, Meng Dehai became nervous and said, "What do you mean? I don't mind who you like or who you date, but you're not allowed to have any contact with Xu Lei. Don't you have a friend named An Xin?"
“I know, undercover agent, I saw it, but I didn’t say hello.”
Meng Dehai was stunned for a long time before saying, "Feng Dazhuang went to Buckingham?"
"Yes, he drank a lot of alcohol, and then, not knowing what to do, he left in a hurry."
"Xu Lei has been contacted?"
"We've been in contact."
Meng Dehai didn't quite understand, so he patted the person next to him and gestured for his daughter to sit down.
"Dad, don't hit me."
"I didn't hit you, but I'll show you something. Tonight, Bai Jiangbo's battlefield was robbed, and the one who did it was Feng Dazhuang."
Holy crap, are you crazy?
"Xu Jiang and Bai Jiangbo have gone to war?"
Meng Dehai said, "Do you know that Xu Lei recognized An Xin?"
This time, it was Meng Yu's turn to be confused.
I feel like I don't have enough brain cells.
Meng Yu quickly realized what was going on and said, "We didn't expose him, so Feng Dazhuang is the scapegoat?"
Meng Dehai shook his head and said, "No, Feng Dazhuang and Lao Xu have a very close relationship. The Xu family will not abandon Feng Dazhuang. Now it seems that the gift that kid promised to give him has indeed been delivered."
"What gift, you little rascal? Dad, do you have a collaboration with Xu Lei?"
Meng Yu seemed to have seen something she shouldn't have.
"What's so surprising? Xu Jiang is planning to step down, and Xu Lei wants his father to live a different life, so naturally he needs to 'take care' of us. But it's not about giving gifts, it's about giving credit."
Meng Yu sensed a hint of conspiracy.
"But isn't the Xu family making money off of Buckingham's business?"
"Xu Lei gave it up. You heard me right. Xu Lei gave it up, and he even spoke with Uncle Tai. He plans to go into engineering and manufacturing."
"What about the Xu family brothers?"
"Those who want to get by will be let go; those who don't want to get by will be kept and nurtured for future use."
He's gone mad, he's really gone mad! How many people in Jinghai will laugh at Xu Jiang now?
Meng Dehai said, "Take a rest. Try to avoid contact with Xu Lei in the future. Remember, I know what I'm doing."
"Father, since you have a partnership, it shouldn't be a big deal for me to get involved, right?"
"Get out! Even without the Xu family background, I still won't approve of you dating."
It's true that all fathers in the world love their daughters dearly.
For once, Dad didn't scold me today.
Just as Meng Yu was about to go back to her room, Meng Dehai said, "Do your research more. Remember, don't rush into a relationship. Protect yourself."
Meng Yu nodded.
Does this mean she agrees to let herself contact Xu Lei?
What exactly did Xu Lei do to make his father so happy?
[Ding, Meng Yu's curiosity about you has increased by 30.]
The phone rang.
"I've done some quick calculations, and it's definitely Miss Meng Yu."
“Xu Lei, tell me, what kind of bewitching drug did you give my father that made him agree to let me contact you?”
"It's nothing. I just think that Jinghai is really too underutilized by your abilities. You're still young and could be promoted a little further."
After hearing this, Meng Yu was speechless and said, "You, you, you, you're not planning to sell all of your father's protectors, are you?"
"you guess?"
I'm guessing you're a big idiot.
"It's getting late, I need to go to bed early, I still need to grow."
"Hey, Xu Lei, explain yourself clearly! Explain yourself clearly, stop keeping me in suspense."
The phone hangs up.
Meng Yu has completely lost her mind.
Why? Why didn't you tell me what you were doing? And you're the same age as me, how can you communicate with my father as an equal but not with me?
However, Xu Lei never answered any more calls.
[Ding, Meng Yu's curiosity about you has increased by 20.]
Meanwhile, Xu Lei, who was at home, was smiling especially happily.
There are many ways to play the black market, but if it's just about gambling, drugs, and prostitution, Xu Lei doesn't really have much of a character.
Or perhaps gray suits me better.
