When he thought of how he had always been against Ye Jiuzhou before, Bai Hang regretted it. When he thought of this, he shed tears.
"It's just that I didn't get a share of the cake. Are you crying?"
Seeing how pitiful he was, Xie Zhiqiu asked in a low voice: "Master Hong, I don't know if there are any cakes at home. How about I go out and buy them? At least we have to share them."
"Thank you sister-in-law!"
Bai Hang gave a bitter smile, "Mr. Ye knows that I don't like sweets, so that's why he didn't stay with me."
At this moment, he wanted to die, but he still spared no effort to find a way out for Ye Jiuzhou.
Ye Jiuzhou slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I have forgotten about Boss Bai."
"Boss Bai is not the only one you have forgotten!"
Mr. Hong smiled meaningfully and said, "You seem to have forgotten yourself."
"Me..."
Ye Jiuzhou smiled and said: "Like Boss Bai, I don't like sweets. What's more, there are some sweet and sour pork ribs in the refrigerator, which is enough for me. It just so happens that I can't finish it by myself, so why don't Boss Bai help me too?"
Eat some."
Bai Hang was already ashen-faced, but after hearing this, he was immediately ecstatic.
What does Ye Jiuzhou mean?
Want to recruit me?
He didn't even believe his ears.
You know, not long ago, when he surrendered to Ye Jiuzhou, Ye Jiuzhou rejected him.
Why did you regret it after just a few days?
Thinking of this, he became hesitant, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
For a moment, no one spoke, and Mr. Hong also lowered his head and thought about something.
After a while, Mr. Hong said: "Bai Hang, Mr. Ye even gave you his own ribs, how could you reject his kindness?"
Bai Hang woke up from his dream and quickly picked up the wine glass, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your support!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, and then coughed loudly. He didn't know whether it was because he drank too much or because he was too excited.
Everyone was holding the cake shared by Ye Jiuzhou, and they were extremely happy.
"Steward Wu, serve tea."
Ye Hong shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Mr. Hong was "serving tea to see off guests."
All the bosses were very sensible and took their leave one after another.
Ye Jiuzhou did not leave, because he knew that the banquet was not over yet.
Sure enough, after everyone had left, Mr. Hong said, "It's rare for my friend to come here again, how about playing another game with me?"
After that, he looked at Xie Zhiqiu and said, "Mr. Xie, when you and Ye Jiuzhou got married, I couldn't get away because of trivial matters, so I specially prepared a wedding gift. Why not let Butler Wu take you to see it."
"Master Hong, this..."
Xie Zhiqiu was a little embarrassed. Today was Mr. Hong's birthday, but she came empty-handed and had to leave with other people's things. It was really inappropriate.
Ye Jiuzhou smiled and said: "Since it is Master Hong's heart, then you can accept it."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Hong. I will definitely entertain Mr. Hong well when he comes to Binhai as a guest in the future."
Xie Zhiqiu said.
"Thank you, Miss. Please come inside."
Butler Wu came over and was more respectful to Xie Zhiqiu.
Only Hong Ye and Ye Jiuzhou were left in the room, and soon the chessboard was placed.
"Such a beautiful and well-behaved girl, Mr. Ye is really relieved to keep her out of your sight."
Mr. Hong said with a smile.
"You also said that she is smart and well-behaved. I think even a bird and beast would not hurt her, right?"
Ye Jiuzhou smiled and said: "When you were young, you might have used any means, but now that you are at this age, I think your ideas should have changed."
Hearing this, Mr. Hong's expression changed obviously, but he didn't say anything.
Ye Jiuzhou brought the box to put the chess pieces. He opened it and saw that there were white pieces inside. He pushed it in front of Mr. Hong and opened another box, only to find that it was still white.
He smiled and said: "Master Hong's men are too careless in their work."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"I think the servant was in a hurry, and the two boxes he prepared were all white."
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course. When playing chess, one is black and the other is white. Otherwise, how do you know which piece is yours?"
"Since it is my own chess piece, why don't I know it? Why do I still use black and white to distinguish it?"
Hearing this, Ye Jiuzhou was stunned.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Jiuzhou took the chessboard aside.
"Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this? Are you going to stop?"
Mr. Hong said doubtfully.
Ye Jiuzhou shook his head and said: "Since you know where your chess pieces are, what's the point of having a chessboard? I'll make the move first, and I'll play south, three, north, and fourteen."
"It should be south three and north fifteen."
"Go down to the south, three to the north and sixteen to the north."
"It should be south three and north seventeen."
…
The two of them sat opposite each other and dictated the game of chess, which was probably the first time in their history.
At the beginning, Mr. Hong could still deal with it calmly, but after he got to 130 moves, he started to panic and finally had to admit defeat.
"When Xue Ren dies, his whole body will be affected."
Master Hong suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The chess pieces are gone, and the chess players are about to come forward. Their target this time is not just me."
"Are you warning me?"
Ye Jiuzhou asked calmly.
"No, it's not a warning, it's just a reminder!"
Mr. Hong said: "The person behind Xue Ren is extremely powerful. If he wants to investigate, he will definitely get to the bottom of your details. By then, you will be in a passive position."
After hearing this, Ye Jiuzhou suddenly laughed.
He has always been very concerned about privacy. Most of the people who know his details are dead, and there are only a handful of people left who will never betray him.
Therefore, he simply did not believe that anyone could check his background.
"I appreciate Mr. Hong's kindness."
Ye Jiuzhou said: "I think Mr. Hong deliberately kept me here for more than just reminding me."
"of course not!"
Mr. Hong sighed and said: "After the forces behind the Xue family arrive, the provincial capital will be in chaos. Even I may not be able to control it by then, so I have something to ask you for help."
Here comes the point!
Lord Hong brought Ye Jiuzhou here in the name of celebrating his birthday for this purpose.
As the underground emperor of the provincial capital, being able to get him to say the word "please" shows how important this matter is.
"If I remember correctly, this should be our second meeting, right?"
Ye Jiuzhou smiled and said: "It seems that the relationship between us is not close enough to help each other."
It can be said that his words left no face for Mr. Hong.
However, Mr. Hong was not angry at all, and said calmly: "I have been independent for half my life, but this matter..."
Having said this, he also sighed and said: "I know this matter is a bit difficult, but besides Mr. Ye, I can't think of another person who can help me."
After hearing this, Ye Jiuzhou also became interested.
What is it that deserves his concern?
He didn't speak.
After a while, Mr. Hong said: "I want to ask Mr. Ye to save my daughter's life!"
