Chapter 196 Inaction
At twelve o'clock in the night, the residential streets in the old city of Yundu City were still brightly lit, and workers coming and going after work came and went for late-night snacks.
Beside the window on the second floor of the barbecue restaurant at the intersection, a beautiful woman with a dignified appearance and gentle temperament was sitting. Her low-key plain sweater and black wide-leg pants could not hide her plump and perfect figure. , a light touch of makeup modified her bright and beautiful face, which was very eye-catching just sitting there.
Feng Yushu is from Yongzhou. He came to Yundu to live with his daughter who came to Yunlu Academy to go to college last year. It was a few months ago this year that the family of three went to Gubei Town in Qinzhou to relax. thing.
Looking down at the watch on her wrist, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, but Ning Zhe still hadn't come. She felt anxious and expectant.
Young girls like to be late on purpose when dating boys, in the name of testing their patience. Feng Yushu, who was asked out by Ning Zhe through a WeChat message in the middle of the night, knew clearly that this was not a date, but she was even more nervous than when she got married.
Speaking of getting married...
Feng Yushu's eyes were slightly out of focus, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face. Perhaps it was because it was so long ago that she had no idea about her marriage. The memory has been blurred, and when I look back I only remember a blur of mist.
That's right, her daughter has reached the age of going to college, and it is inevitable that the long past will become blurred in the memory with the passage of time...
Thinking of this, Feng Yushu took a bite. Lips, a burst of unspeakable sadness suddenly surged in my heart.
"What are you thinking about?"
The clear and familiar voice brought her back to reality from her memories. Feng Yushu suddenly came back to her senses and saw that a beautiful young man wearing a formal suit had already sat down. Opposite yourself.
"Huh? Ning Zhe?" After seeing clearly who was sitting in front of him, Feng Yushu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
In the past, Ning Zhe was not very particular about dressing up, and adhered to a pragmatic concept of just enough for external conditions such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. In Feng Yushu’s impression, Ning Zhe has always been a simple but clean image. I never wear luxury goods.
But today, Ning Zhe was uncharacteristically wearing a custom-made formal suit. There was no recognizable brand trademark on the tailored fabric. It was as simple as coming from any tailor shop on the streets of Yundu. They are imitations that dare not be labeled, but their high level of workmanship and ingenuity in the use of materials reflect the extraordinary identity beneath the clothes. This is precisely the expression of true luxury.
Feng Yushu glanced at the cuff of Ning Zhe's left hand and recognized the chrome metal cufflink pinned to his sleeve.
Her husband Bai Fugui also has two pairs of white steel cufflinks from the same brand. The price tag of a single cufflink is 100 million U.S. dollars, and the premium for the chrome metal version is even higher.
In other words, just the two cufflinks on Ning Zhe's hands cost at least 300-500 million dollars, which is equivalent to more than 2 billion in cash in the local currency. superior.
However, this pair of cufflinks is actually the cheapest item on Ning Zhe's body.
"Ning Zhe? What are you doing today..." Feng Yushu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
In Feng Yushu's impression, Ning Zhe was not a person who liked extravagance and waste, but today he uncharacteristically decorated his image with high-premium luxury goods that completely deviated from the concept of pragmatism. This shocked Feng Yushu as much as watching Bai Zhi suddenly said to her, "Mom, I like you the most."
Little girls will spend hours putting on makeup before meeting the person they like. Ning Zhe, who never dressed himself up, suddenly started to pay attention to his clothes. Does it mean that he also has someone he cares about?
Looking at the shirt collar of the boy across the table that was tied up with a tie, Feng Yushu couldn't help but think about it.
Ning Zhe, who never dresses up, chose to wear formal clothes today and even asked himself out alone late at night. Does this mean that he...
"Don't be in a daze, before Has the matter you were asked to investigate come to fruition?”
Ning Zhe waved his hand in front of Feng Yushu's eyes to call her back to reality, and asked: "I have something to do later, so don't waste my time."
This is not for me... Feng Yushu The corners of his eyebrows drooped visibly to the naked eye, looking as disappointed as a hungry golden retriever whose dog food had been taken away. Shaking his head to clear away all the messy thoughts in his mind, Feng Yushu said seriously: "The results of what you asked me to check before have already been found."
Ning Zhe nodded: " Very good, so what did your husband do during that time in Gubei Town?”
“He did nothing”
Feng Yushu took a deep breath and said: "The driver who drove the car, the secretary who accompanied him, the doctor at the hospital... I have investigated all the people who had contact with him in Gubei Town during this period, and the answer I got is - —He did nothing in Gubei Town."
"That's right..." Ning Zhe clicked his tongue: "That's interesting."
Ning Zhe asked Feng Yushu to investigate her husband. Bai Fugui's intention was not temporary, but a premonition.
At that time, there were two large real estate companies bidding in Gubei Town. One was the Zhang Yangxu Group with a local background in Qinzhou, and the other was the Bai Fugui Group from Yongzhou.
Zhang Yangxu is the son-in-law of the Xia family. This is a family that has some contact with the weird world, but it has not yet reached the level of a noble family.
The Xia family's practice is to select only one person from each generation of the family to be responsible for contacting the strange world. The other children live a normal mortal life, manage the family property, develop industries and maintain connections according to the rules.
It is known that Gubei Town is a strange place where the snake god is entrenched.
It is also known that the person of this generation of the Xia family who is responsible for contacting the strange world is Xia Chan.
Moreover, Zhang Yangxu will participate in the bidding for the Gubei Town development project, largely because of the promotion of his wife Xia Chan.
Under the premise of understanding these things, if we look back at the project bidding of the two real estate companies in Gubei Town, the development logic behind it will be very thought-provoking.
Gubei Town is not a tourist attraction. Although the local scenery is good, the traffic is very congested. There are no historical sites like Guichen Temple and Yellow Crane Tower to attract tourists. Investing in the development of tourist attractions in this kind of place is throwing money down the drain. , whether you can see the water splash depends on luck.
Ning Zhe can understand that Zhang Yangxu, as the son-in-law of the Xia family, invested money in this place.
Probably Xia Chan knew that there was some kind of weird existence in Gubei Town through the channels of upgraders and conferees, and the weirdness in Gubei Town was relatively mild, not like special concessions and epilepsy. Murderous ghosts, this means that there is profit.
Gentle rules can be exploited. If you can master some weird things like Wutong and Four-faced Buddha, then it is not impossible to artificially cultivate disciples.
As a local force in Qinzhou, it is natural for the Xia family to have a first-come-first-serve idea about the snake god in Gubei Town.
To sum up, Zhang Yangxu had good reasons and reasonable motives for going to Gubei Town to invest money.
What about Dan Bai’s return?
Bai Fugui, a native of Yongzhou, traveled thousands of miles south to Qinzhou with his wife, daughter and company executives to compete with local companies for the development rights of a small rural area. He was really full. Can you hold it?
Ning Zhe did not believe that Bai Fugui, who did such a thing, would be a mortal who knew nothing, so he tried to ask Feng Yushu to investigate her husband's actions while he was in Gubei Town.
The answer was: "He didn't do anything in Gubei Town."
