brotherly innocence

Going back to the Qin mansion in a daze, Chu Yaonan was in a daze. When he went upstairs, he was absent-minded, and almost stepped on the air and fell down the stairs.

"Nan Shao, there is a telegram from Mr. Zhou."

Chu Yaonan unfolded the telegram and couldn't help being surprised. Xiao Zhou and Chun Baoer were kidnapped in Hong Kong, and the kidnappers demanded a huge ransom of 500 million from him.He gathered himself together, hurried back to his room, walked around the room and carefully read the telegram several times, guessing whether it was true or not, but suddenly saw a package on the table, wrapped in linen, on which was written: "Chu Yao From Mr. Nan personally."

He opened it, and found a small wooden box, which turned out to be Xiaochun Baoer's camel-colored scarf. There was a small hole in the corner of the scarf, which he recognized. He couldn't help but tighten his heart, and carefully checked the package. It was sent from Hong Kong, and there was no other mark.He has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he naturally understands the method of kidnapping. Next, the kidnapper will tell him how to pay the money. If he fails to meet his expectations, bloody things like fingers will be sent.It's ridiculous that he, the majestic leader of the Blue Gang, was also bullied by the kidnappers.

500 million is not a sky-high price, but where to raise this money in a short while?

There was a knock on the door, and Sister Fang's voice sounded outside: "Young Master Nan, it's time for dinner. The third wife urges you to go down quickly. The master and the old lady are waiting."

Chu Yaonan hurriedly calmed down and said, "I have a stomachache, so I won't eat."

Sister Fang was silent for a moment and asked: "Then Young Master Nan, if you want some appetizing side dishes and porridge, you must eat something."

Chu Yaonan cheered up and said: "It hurts so bad, let's do it when you're hungry at night."

After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, his mother had already come upstairs, sat on the edge of his bed and touched his forehead and asked with concern: "Bao'er, don't scare mother, what's wrong with you?"

He smiled and said, "I'm afraid my stomach hurts from drinking the cool breeze, just lie down for a while and it will be fine."

Not long after the third aunt went down, Qin Rong came up: "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't come to mother-in-law, my stomach hurts after drinking cold air, just lie down for a while and it will be fine."

Qin Rong paused for a moment and said, "When you came back, your expression was not right, but what happened?"

Chu Yaonan didn't want him to show mercy, and Qin Rong didn't have any money, so he sent him away and thought of countermeasures by himself.

This is beyond reach, the villain must be steady, and then he can find a way to rescue Xiaochun Bao'er. At this moment, in his eyes, there is nothing more important than saving Chunbao'er.If it was normal, he might ask his father for help, but at this moment, if Qin Alang is behind the murder of the eldest brother's family, it would be as ridiculous as begging a wolf to save the little sheep.

Keiko, where did Keiko go?He suddenly remembered the Matsumoto that Keiko had mentioned before leaving, and remembered the 300 million unclean money, turned over and sat up.

On December 24th, it was the sixteenth day of the winter moon, just after the winter solstice, Christmas Eve.

Qin Rong drove through the French Concession, which was full of prosperity.He remembered that when Xueyu took his hand and asked him to be her boyfriend, they wore a small white ermine pocket and looked at the Christmas tree at the entrance of the foreign company on Christmas Eve, the dazzling array of jewelry in the window, and the Santa Claus wearing a big red robe. Candy, there was an inexplicable impulse in my heart, where is sister Xueyu now?Is she doing well?

His car turned around and drove towards Youren Industrial Company on Guanbei Road. He sat still in the car for a while, got out of the car and wanted to find his eldest brother, but suddenly remembered that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to the opposite side to buy a basket of beautifully packaged fruit baskets, and served them together. Hang silk cheongsam fabric, two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao, came to the eldest brother's residence.

Jiang Tao's family had just served the food, and they were a little surprised and pleasantly surprised to see Qin Rong.

"A Rong, why are you here? Good time, good time, your sister-in-law cooks stewed pork with venetian leaves and braised tail, both of which are your favorite dishes." Jiang Tao greeted warmly, as close as ever.

Then he said to the woman: "Shuxiu, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the sixth brother."

Qin Rong felt very warm, looked at the smiling and helpless new sister-in-law, handed over the gift and said, "I came in a hurry, I don't know..."

The word "sister-in-law" was hard to say no matter what, it seemed so awkward and jerky, he felt a little shameful and a little guilty, after all, his sister-in-law was kind to him and had protected him since childhood.Although he hated his sister-in-law's philistinism in the matter of Xueyu, who could be blamed for it?

"Yo, the sixth brother is too far-fetched, look at you, just come, what gifts do you bring?" Shuxiu's sister-in-law smiled all over her face, taking the things in his hand while talking, fondling the expensive cloth, Greet him to his seat.

The two brothers opened the wine and drank freely. Jiang Tao told about his ambitions, showed Qin Rong the blueprints of department stores and industrial companies he designed, and smoked a cigarette and said drunkenly: "Ah Rong, your eldest brother will not live until this age." You know it well, but in fact, fighting in the Jianghu is not suitable for your elder brother. At that time, you were young, you only obeyed your father's orders, and you didn't change your father's ways for three years, so you just took over the mess of Qingdaotang in a daze."

Qin Rong has a lot of affection for Qingdaotang, and he doesn't agree with the word "mess", but he remembered that his elder brother really didn't have this ambition when he was young, so he drank a cup and shook his head and smiled.

Jiang Tao smacked the wine in his mouth and said: "I remember when my elder brother first met you, he was only six years old, and he was still a little kid. In the alley in front of Qingdaotang, he fought with a few punks who were as big as you, his face was covered with blood, but Picking up bricks and refusing to give in. I think this kid is interesting, at such a young age, he beats five or six teenagers by himself, and he is still unyielding."

"I was looking for food in the garbage dump at the entrance of the alley. I picked up half a bag of meat buns thrown away by children from rich families. The beggars said it was their territory and surrounded me and beat me. But my mother was sick, and my brother had no food to eat." Qin Rong smiled wryly, and drank a glass of wine, "Brother came over and drove them away. Big brother is so majestic. He just stood there in a white suit and top hat. He didn't even have to lift a finger. A dozen or so good men behind him went over to pick up those little ones. The bastard was thrown aside, and the shit was beaten. At that time, I was so admired that I made up my mind to follow Big Brother." Qin Rong showed a smug smile.

"You were seriously injured. The doctor said that luckily you were sent in time, otherwise your life would have been lost."

"When I woke up, I realized that the one who saved me was the young master of Qingdaotang. Everyone praised my life. I just worshiped under the elder brother's door. I caused trouble and caused trouble, and I was naughty and willful. It has been more than ten years in a flash, and I don't have to worry about it anymore." Brother."

Jiang Tao chuckled, reminiscing about the past and said: "Actually, I was still studying at that time, and I was so determined that I didn't want to enter the Qingdaotang, I didn't want to enter the Jianghu, but the old man forced me so hard that I couldn't help myself."

"Yes, elder brother took Ah Rong away from home and wanted to go to Guangzhou to escape marriage." Qin Rong said.

"Heh, it's interesting to elope and bring a younger brother as an oil bottle." Shu Xiu interjected jokingly.

"No matter how many women you meet along the way, the one you choose in the end is always lucky." Jiang Tao proudly pulled Shuxiu and sat on his lap and said, "The most important thing for a man in his life is to find a good woman and a good wife. Shu Embroidery has always supported my ambitions."

Qin Rong was not good at praise and criticism, Shu Xiu said: "Your brother was born at the wrong time. In fact, he is really not suitable to be a gangster. His heart is not cruel enough and his hands are not cruel enough. How can he win? Business is good, and harmony makes money."

Jiang Tao excitedly pulled Qin Rong to look at the plaque of his Youren Industry, and said to Qin Rong: "This industrial company, my dream 20 years ago, was scolded by my father, so I had to give up. Now the dream has come true."

The longing and enthusiasm in the elder brother's eyes are as youthful as a boy's, and the maturity and prudence are much less. It seems that it is a pleasure for people to find their own position. Qin Rong is happy for Jiang Tao. After drinking a bottle of wine, he feels drunk Slightly drunk, he drove away and returned to the Qin Mansion.

The second uncle didn't come back, but Chu Yaonan came to visit him when he heard that he was drunk.

His chest was burning like a ball of fire, he unbuttoned his collar, scratched his chest, Chu Yaonan covered his head with an ice veil, and blamed him: "How can someone who is drunk be a heavy responsibility?"

Qin Rong turned over, rubbing his drowsy head against the pillow for a while.

"Why hasn't Second Uncle come back yet?" Chu Yaonan asked.

"Go to the teaching team of the Army Military Academy, I'm afraid I won't be back tonight."

"What are you going there for?" Chu Yaonan asked, thinking to himself.

Qin Rong didn't speak a word, as if there was a big secret hiding from him.

Chu Yaonan came out of Qin Rong's room worriedly, walked outside the small hall and listened to the people talking and said, "In the past, it was Yaonan who made jokes about foreigners' New Years. What kind of reception is there? The mansion is very lively. Why is it so so this year?" Lonely, looking at Nan Shao who is sleepy and not thinking, it seems deserted."
