Retreat

In the office, Ling Qiang and Qiao Mudong sat face to face. After a short silence, Qiao Mudong asked, "So what?"

This is not the first time Qiao Mudong asked Ling Qiang "so what", but this time Ling Qiang's reaction was obviously much stronger, he almost sneered twice, "How is it? Qiao Mudong, what do you think? I asked you once, and you told me you were just playing for fun, so what is it now? You really plan to spend your whole life with a man, and that man has a previous record and went to prison!"

Qiao Mudong looked at Ling Qiang with a calm expression, "I have also been in prison."

Ling Qiang slapped the table and stood up, "What is your identity now? You are my Ling Qiang's son, Ling Yun's deputy general manager; what the hell is he? Embezzling public funds, he is just a small restaurant delivery errand until now You compare yourself with him, I think you are not only crazy, but also out of your mind!"

Qiao Mudong also stood up and put his hands on the table. He was aroused because of Ling Qiang's insulting words, but he still tried his best to calm himself down and said in a deep voice, "It's none of your business."

Ling Qiang and Qiao Mudong looked at each other, and said with a sneer, "You forgot what you promised me when you begged me to help you get out of prison."

Qiao Mudong said: "I will definitely do what I promised others! But I didn't ask you, it was you who proposed to make a deal with me. You said you wanted me to recognize you as your father, and I did; you said you wanted me to I went to Lingyun to do things, and I did it too. As for the others, what right do you have to control me?"

"Recognize me as your father?" Ling Qiang said, "That's how you recognize me as your father? Have you ever called me Dad? Did you do one thing for me that I told you? You have to be serious. As a father, I will immediately break up with that man! Tomorrow I will arrange for you to meet a girl!"

Qiao Mudong snorted and folded his hands in front of his chest, "I will treat my father as you did to my son. Why, I have ignored me for more than 20 years, but now I am old and have no son to see me? Let me tell you, I watched my mother commit suicide by jumping off a building, you want me to be filial to your father? What a joke!"

After Qiao Mudong finished speaking, he slammed the door and left without looking back, leaving Ling Qiang holding his chest and gasping for breath. It took him a long time to calm down his anger. He sat on the chair, raised his head and closed his eyes.

When Qiao Mudong returned to the office, Huang Haisheng quickly stood up, "Mr. Qiao."

"Huang Haisheng," Qiao Mudong knocked on his table, "In the future, tell Ling Qiang about my private affairs, then pack up your things and go to his side. I don't need you here."

Huang Haisheng turned pale with fright, "Mr. Qiao... I didn't say anything..."

Qiao Mudong said: "Don't let me hear you say anything."

He opened the door to enter his office, then closed the door heavily, and loosened the tie around his neck as he walked to the window.

He felt a little depressed, every time he met Ling Qiang, he felt this way, even as long as he stayed in Ling Yun, he felt depressed.With the cold glass on his palm, Qiao Mudong felt a little better, but his chest was still dull, and he wanted to find a way to release it.

The cell phone dropped on the table suddenly rang.

Qiao Mudong reached out to pick it up, and heard He Yu's voice from the opposite side, "Qiao Mudong?"

Qiao Mudong replied, "Why?"

He Yu could tell that Qiao Mudong was still not in a good mood, and thought he was still angry with him, so he said, "Still angry?"

Qiao Mudong said, "Yes, you called to scold me?"

He Yu sat on the stool, propped his elbows on the table, brushed his hair with the other hand, and said, "Don't be angry, can I apologize to you?"

Qiao Mudong was silent for a while, "What did you do wrong? Why are you apologizing to me?"

He Yu lowered his head and said softly, "I shouldn't have kept my relationship with Fu Chenshan secret from you." After he paused, he couldn't help but continued, "Actually, it really doesn't matter. What is the comparison between me and him?" It's all clean and clear."

Qiao Mudong said "huh?", then recalled, "Haven't you ever done it with him?"

He Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, "What are you doing? You don't remember how miserable you were when you fucked me the first time?"

Qiao Mudong raised his arm and pressed it against the window glass, curled his five fingers into a fist, and pressed it against his forehead, "Is that your first time?"

He Yu said: "No, of course not, I don't know how many men I have had outside."

Qiao Mudong obviously didn't believe it, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he asked, "I ask you, is it just me?"

This question was a bit inexplicable, but He Yu understood it instantly. He twirled his fingers around his hair. He wanted to say of course not, but at that moment he heard Qiao Mudong's breathing, which was heavy and nervous. He Yu His heart suddenly became soft, and he gave a very light "hmm".

Qiao Mudong heard it, and the smile on his face widened. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he just listened to each other's breathing through the mobile phone.

After a full minute, Qiao Mudong probably felt a little stupid, and said, "I'm dead."

"Wait," He Yu hurriedly stopped him, almost forgetting the business, "Brother Li wants to see you."

"Li Tang?"

He Yu replied: "Well, it's about Hong Minhang, he saw the news report."

Qiao Mudong hesitated, "I'll go over for lunch, and I'll tell him the details then."

"Come over for lunch?" He Yu was startled when he heard the words, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, you can figure it out." Qiao Mudong finished speaking and hung up the phone.

He Yu told Li Tang about Qiao Mudong saying that he would come over for lunch and then talk in detail.

Li Tang nodded and asked He Yu: "What does Young Master Qiao like to eat?"

He Yu said hesitantly, "Eat everything, he's not very picky." The longest time the two got along was in prison, and everyone liked meat. He Yu really didn't notice what Qiao Mudong liked in particular.

Now that Li Tang has something to ask Qiao Mudong, he is naturally much more polite and polite. Even though Qiao Mudong intended to stop by for lunch at noon, Li Tang still ordered the kitchen to make a fuss about the dishes as if he was receiving a guest.

It was inconvenient for people to come and talk downstairs, so Li Tang asked He Yu to clean up the room on the second floor, set up a small square table and three chairs.Because He Yu wanted to be with him, he didn't have to deliver food anymore, so he was waiting downstairs to welcome Qiao Mudong at noon.

He Yu said, "Brother Li, there's no need to be so polite to him."

Li Tang shook his head, "I should ask him for help if I have something to do."

In fact, Qiao Mudong really planned to come over to have a meal and have a chat with Li Tang, Li Tang was too polite and he felt uncomfortable.

Li Tang invited him to sit down on the second floor, and He Yu acted as a small worker, bringing up the fried dishes, and then asked, "Do you want to drink?"

Qiao Mudong said: "No drink, come and sit down."

He Yu reached out and closed the door, walked over and sat down.

Without wine, Li Tang touched him with a teacup, put down the cup and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for your face."

Qiao Mudong hurriedly said: "Brother Li, you are too polite, please don't say that."

He Yu said: "Brother Li, you can just speak up if you have something to say."

Li Tang looked at He Yu, then at Qiao Mudong, "Young Master Qiao, I just want to ask, how much do you know about Hong Minhang?"

Qiao Mudong pondered for a moment, "To be honest, I probably don't know more than you. The night before yesterday, He Yu accompanied me in Chengya Hospital for stitches, and I met by chance. It should have been sent here because of an accident. The Hong family The reaction was quick, and within 10 minutes at most, his two uncles followed."

Li Tang nodded, "Young Master Qiao, I know you are no longer in the north of the city, but your foundation is still there, and there are many brothers and friends who are mixed with snakes and dragons. Is there really no one who knows more?"

Qiao Mudong looked up at Li Tang, "Brother Li, you had no fewer brothers than me in the north of the city, right?"

Li Tang smiled wryly and reached out to light a cigarette.

Seeing this, He Yu advised, "Brother Li, you smoked a lot today."

Li Tang shook his head, lit the cigarette and threw the lighter away, and said, "The people around me are all from the Hong family. I left the Hong family, so they have no reason to follow me." He held the cigarette between his fingers , and slowly exhaled smoke rings, "Young Master Qiao, I know that this matter is likely to be the Hong family's housework. It would be a bit embarrassing for you to intervene to help me. I, Li Tang, have no other skills. You know the reputation you got from the north of the city, as long as Qiao Shao is willing to do me this favor, even if I owe you a favor, I, Li Tang, will definitely pay you back in the future."

Qiao Mudong hurriedly said: "Brother Li, don't get me wrong, I don't want to sell favors to you. He Yu has been out for so long, and you have been taking care of him. I should help with this little favor. But I just want to persuade you , you also said that you are not from the Hong family, why should you take care of the Hong family's housework?"

Li Tang said in a deep voice, "Hong Minhang is my younger brother."

Hearing this, Qiao Mudong couldn't help looking at Li Tang carefully, how old is he this year?Not yet forty?But if you look closely, there are a few white hairs on the sideburns, it's not easy for Li Tang these years.

Qiao Mudong nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I'll ask you first. It may not be as bad as we expected."

There was some light in Li Tang's eyes, "Thank you, Qiao Shao."
