"He's waiting for you in a bar in the East District. I'll take you there."
"No need to trouble you, I'll just take a taxi there."
"It's alright, let's talk as we walk, and discuss the details along the way."
After the two left the restaurant, Liu Wenhao hailed a taxi and drove Zhang Xiaoya to Dongcheng District.
On the way, Liu Wenhao briefly told his friend his name and home address.
After arriving in Dongcheng District, the two parted ways in front of a Starbucks.
"Goodbye, Brother Hao!"
"Okay, bye-bye."
Liu Wenhao watched her retreating figure, shook his head, and sighed.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoya suddenly turned around and looked at him, saying, "Brother Hao, thank you. I'll give you an answer first thing tomorrow morning!" After saying that, Zhang Xiaoya got into a black car next to her.
Looking at the car in the distance, Liu Wenhao wondered to himself: Could it be that Zhang Xiaoya really doesn't want to?
Back at the company, he told Wang Haitao about his negotiation with Zhang Xiaoya that day. After listening, Wang Haitao exclaimed, "I never expected her to be so capable!"
Liu Wenhao smiled bitterly: "Her design skills are indeed very good, but she is also very stubborn."
"You're not planning to hire her as your design assistant, are you?"
Liu Wenhao remained silent. He couldn't help but admire Zhang Xiaoya's pride and stubbornness. In this materialistic society, she still maintained her original aspirations and adhered to her principles. This spirit was truly admirable!
No matter what, I've made up my mind about her for life, so she will be the woman I love most in my life, and I will never change no matter what happens.
After getting off work in the evening, Liu Wenhao returned home. Since he now lives alone, he is not worried about encountering strangers. Moreover, his home is fully equipped with electrical appliances and has no shortage of electricity. Therefore, he plans to rest well at home tonight.
After returning home, he first took a shower and changed his clothes, then locked himself in his bedroom and picked up his copy of "Blue and White Porcelain" to study it carefully.
As he looked at the exhibits, Liu Wenhao felt as if he had returned to his school days. He loved classical culture and collecting antiques and treasures. He hoped that through his own efforts, he could acquire enough wealth to squander for several lifetimes and make life more comfortable for himself and his family.
As he watched, he fell asleep.
The next morning, Liu Wenhao woke up early. After washing up, he sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control on the table, and turned on the news channel.
“Around 4 a.m. yesterday, five men went missing from an abandoned factory in the western suburbs of Nanyang City. After continuous investigation, the suspect, Li Gang, was identified. After multiple searches, the suspect was finally arrested in a warehouse in the factory.”
As Liu Wenhao watched the scene unfold on the television screen, a sense of foreboding washed over him. Who was Li Gang? Wasn't he his classmate?
"Hey, Liu Wenhao, here are your car keys. Remember to bring them over before 6 p.m.!"
"Oh!"
After hanging up with Wang Haitao, Liu Wenhao started dialing Zhang Xiaoya's number.
beep...beep...beep...
"Hello? Who is it?"
"it's me!"
"Brother Hao, what's up?" Zhang Xiaoya asked sweetly.
"Xiaoya, where are you now?" Liu Wenhao asked in a low voice.
"at home."
"It's good that you're at home. I'll be right there."
"Oh! You're coming over? I still have to go to work," Zhang Xiaoya said, seemingly reluctant.
"It's okay, I just wanted to chat with you, don't be nervous!" Liu Wenhao said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Alright!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Wenhao quickly dressed and drove his car towards Zhang Xiaoya's residential area.
Half an hour later, when the car stopped in front of the apartment building, he took the elevator directly to Zhang Xiaoya's door, knocked on the door, and then gently pushed it open and went inside.
In the living room, Zhang Xiaoya, dressed in a beige business suit, was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Upon seeing Liu Wenhao, she immediately stood up and walked towards him.
"Oh, Brother Hao, so early! Please have a seat," Zhang Xiaoya said.
Liu Wenhao smiled slightly and then sat down on the sofa.
"Xiaoya, have you had breakfast?"
"Nope!"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get you some right away," Liu Wenhao said.
As he busied himself in the kitchen, Zhang Xiaoya's gaze fell upon his strong and muscular physique. She couldn't help but swallow hard. This man exuded a strong aura of male hormones, especially his robust body, which further stimulated the girl's senses, and her face instantly turned crimson.
A few minutes later, Liu Wenhao finished preparing breakfast. He brought the breakfast to the table and casually handed Zhang Xiaoya a bowl of beef porridge and a sandwich. Looking at the sumptuous breakfast in front of her, Zhang Xiaoya said with some emotion, "Thank you, Brother Hao."
"Hehe, don't just stand there like an idiot, hurry up and eat," Liu Wenhao laughed.
Unlike other leaders, Liu Wenhao didn't bring a bouquet of flowers to win over girls every morning, because he knew that the more he did that, the less the girls would like him.
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoya nodded.
Zhang Xiaoya ate slowly. Liu Wenhao glanced at her, then picked up the newspaper and began to read it. He didn't ask Zhang Xiaoya what had happened at the auction last night; he trusted that Zhang Xiaoya would tell him on her own.
About five minutes later, Zhang Xiaoya put down her chopsticks and coughed lightly. Liu Wenhao put down his newspaper and looked at her with bright eyes.
"Brother Hao, I have something to tell you."
"You want me to help your company? I agree!" Liu Wenhao said calmly.
"Ah, Brother Hao, what happened to you..."
"I'm just helping you solve the problem; I don't want your money. You don't need to worry about it."
Zhang Xiaoya smiled at Liu Wenhao, feeling a warmth in her heart. Although she didn't know what Liu Wenhao's method was, she firmly believed that he could help her out of the crisis.
"Thank you, Brother Hao."
"Don't be shy. By the way, where is Li Gang being held now? Let's go see him now."
“I don’t know the exact location either, I just heard that they’re being held in an abandoned factory.” Zhang Xiaoya lowered her head, clearly feeling very frustrated.
"Leave this to me, you can just focus on your work."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Hao."
After saying that, Liu Wenhao picked up his coat, put it on, and then left the villa.
Liu Wenhao drove straight to Li Gang's family compound and stopped his car in front of an old-style residential building.
He found Villa No. 1 by following the address given by Li Gang's wife.
After the doorbell was rang, Li Gang's wife's anxious footsteps could be heard from inside.
Upon opening the door, Li Gang's wife saw Liu Wenhao and asked excitedly, "You must be Mr. Liu? My name is Lin Xuemei."
After seeing the woman in front of him, who appeared to be around forty years old, Liu Wenhao nodded and said, "I am Liu Wenhao. Is your husband here?"
"Yes! He's lying in bed! Please come in." After saying that, Lin Xuemei stepped aside to let Liu Wenhao into the room.
After Liu Wenhao followed Lin Xuemei into the living room, he saw a man lying on the sofa. It must be Li Gang. He was lying on the sofa with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes closed, and he was unconscious. He probably drank too much last night and passed out.
After careful observation, Liu Wenhao discovered that in addition to the knife wound, Li Gang also had a gunshot wound.
Liu Wenhao thought of the news he had seen that morning: the disappearance of five factory workers was related to Li Gang. Could it be that those five workers were responsible? That's insane! How could they dare to do something so illegal and disorderly?
"Mr. Liu, do you know him?" Lin Xuemei asked, puzzled, when she saw Liu Wenhao staring blankly at Li Gang.
"know!"
"How...how did he get so badly injured?" Lin Xuemei asked again.
"Cover him with a blanket first, I'll examine him," Liu Wenhao instructed.
"okay!"
As Lin Xuemei spoke, she immediately took out a towel and covered her husband with it.
"You can go out now, let me check his injuries."
"Okay. Thank you for your help. I won't bother you any longer." After saying that, Lin Xuemei turned and left the living room.
Liu Wenhao squatted down, placed his hand on Li Gang's pulse, and after a while, slowly opened his eyes, took out silver needles from his pocket, quickly inserted them into the acupoints on Li Gang's chest, and then took out a pill and put it into Li Gang's mouth.
After doing all this, he looked up at Lin Xuemei and asked, "When will he wake up?"
"It'll probably take an hour or two! Brother Hao, what should we do now?" Lin Xuemei asked.
"Wait, if nothing unexpected happens, we must rescue Li Gang tonight, otherwise he may really not live much longer!" Liu Wenhao said in a deep voice.
"Will they kill him?" Lin Xuemei asked worriedly.
"Probably not, after all, it's a crime, and no one can bear such a heavy responsibility. However, just in case, we still need to make preparations," Liu Wenhao said.
"Okay, I'll go prepare right away."
After quickly packing his things, Liu Wenhao left the clinic.
He went to a secluded place and dialed Wang Xiaoli's number.
The phone rang a few times before being answered.
"Hello, Sister Wang, it's me, Liu Wenhao," Liu Wenhao said into the phone.
"Brother Liu, is something the matter?" Wang Xiaoli's voice was full of surprise.
"Sister Wang, it's like this, I wanted to ask if you know any underground boxing experts, or people who specialize in this?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Xiaoli asked.
"Sister Wang, you know I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you. How about this, let's meet at the Seaside Intercity Hotel tonight at eight o'clock. I'll send the details to your email. Remember, make sure to bring plenty of bodyguards and don't let any strangers near our private room. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I'll gather the men right away."
"Okay! I'll wait for you." After saying that, Liu Wenhao hung up the phone.
He chose Wang Xiaoli because she was a former boxer. Back then, boxing was all the rage in China, and many people enjoyed it, especially young people. Wang Xiaoli was one of the best of that era, making a name for herself in the underground black market boxing scene. Her name still holds a significant place in the history of many boxing clubs.
After Liu Wenhao hung up the phone, the image of Wang Xiaoli's hot and alluring body suddenly flashed through his mind. Liu Wenhao immediately felt a surge of heat throughout his body. He suppressed the impulse deep within him and calmed down after a while before regaining his composure.
Afterwards, Liu Wenhao went to a nearby shop, bought some daily necessities, and then took a car to the Seaside Intercity Hotel.
Liu Wenhao waited for Wang Xiaoli to arrive in the room. Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Chapter 974 Intercept them!
"Enter!"
Liu Wenhao opened the door and saw Lin Xuemei and several burly men standing in the doorway. Liu Wenhao looked at the group and recognized one of them as someone he had seen on TV before, named A Bao.
"Brother Hao! Hello." Ah Bao greeted Liu Wenhao respectfully. He had seen Liu Wenhao a few times before and was deeply impressed, so he remembered Liu Wenhao's appearance immediately.
"Hello." Liu Wenhao smiled and nodded at him, then looked at the others and asked, "Is everyone ready?"
"Okay, Brother Hao, don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back," Ah Bao replied.
Afterwards, Liu Wenhao had Lin Xuemei help Li Gang to the top floor of the hotel. In the presidential suite on the top floor, Liu Wenhao directed everyone to set up. An hour later, he nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Li Gang had fallen into a deep sleep and was breathing evenly, with silver needles inserted all over his body.
"Brother Hao, everything's arranged. We're just waiting for your word," A Bao said to Liu Wenhao.
"Alright. All of you, guard every doorway around this room. If they try to force their way in, beat them up. Beat them hard, just don't kill them! Understand?"
"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.
Afterwards, Liu Wenhao led Lin Xuemei into the room, put Li Gang on the bed, gave him a life-saving pill, and then turned and left.
He believed that Li Gang would definitely not die after taking this life-saving pill, and his body would gradually recover from the damage. However, the injuries he suffered this time were quite serious, and it would take a long time to fully heal him.
After Liu Wenhao left the room, he said to Ah Hu and Ah Long, "You two come with me to find that guy named Hu Biao."
Led by A Bao, Liu Wenhao took the elevator directly to the top floor.
Upon reaching the top floor, Ah Bao said to the waiter next to him, "Presidential Suite No. 3, please!"
"Ah~"
The waiter was shocked when he heard this. Their suites are divided into three types: standard, VIP, and presidential. The standard room is the cheapest, but it still costs several thousand yuan a night, while the top-tier suite like Liu Wenhao's costs more than four thousand yuan.
"Hurry up!" Ah Bao urged again.
