Brother Zhang's words caused Huo Chen to stop abruptly. He turned his head and looked at Brother Zhang in surprise: "Is there anything else?"
A few hours ago, Huo Chen received a mysterious phone call. Although the phone number was unfamiliar, it was from Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu kept his kindness to Brother Zhang and the landlady in mind, so he entrusted Huo Chen to send them some money to take care of them, as a way to repay them for taking care of them these days.
Brother Zhang took out a stack of money, took out a few and put them in his pocket. He immediately put the rest of the money back into his bag, zipped it up, put it in front of Huo Chen, and said calmly: "This is the rest.
You can take back the money you bet."
Huo Chen couldn't help but be startled. He wondered if he had heard wrongly. He felt very terrible. Could it be that there are people in this society who don't like money?
But the fact is exactly the opposite. Brother Zhang likes money, and even has a stronger desire for money than anyone else.
Huo Chen frowned: "If you are worried about the source of this money, there is no need. My name is Huo Chen and I am from Jiangcheng. If you inquire a little bit, you should know that the source of this money is absolutely legitimate and not black money."
"No." Brother Zhang said solemnly: "Although I like money, I don't accept food that comes from outside. A few days ago, I advanced Chen Qiu a thousand salary in advance, but Chen Qiu disappeared inexplicably today. I guess I will also
I won’t come to work again. I’ll just take back the money I paid in advance. Please take the rest back with you! Also, if you see Chen Qiu later, thank him for me."
Huo Chen smiled with interest: "Okay! You have the backbone, but are you sure you don't want it? This money can improve your family, or if you are worried about the hidden dangers of holding this money, you can tell me,
I can help you solve it."
"If I say no, I mean no." Brother Zhang said coldly: "Please come back!"
"Okay!" Huo Chen asked for trouble and didn't talk to Brother Zhang. He picked up the bag and drove away with a roar.
Brother Zhang returned to the restaurant, sat down and ate happily, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Brother Zhang." A clerk said in astonishment: "Then why don't you want the money?"
Brother Zhang frowned and reprimanded: "Eat your food well, why do you care so much?"
He likes money very much. He works hard cooking in restaurants all day long and barely earns hundreds of thousands in income in a year. Facing the whole package that Huo Chen made light of, he is indeed very moved. After all, he has so much money.
, he could improve his family, renovate the house properly, find a better school for his son, or renovate this dilapidated restaurant, but in the end, his reason still defeated his desire.
He didn't want to accept this wasted meal, even though his heart was shaking wildly.
Huo Chen's arrival also put everyone out of the mood to eat, and they couldn't help but gossip about who this friend Chen Qiu was.
Just after Huo Chen reported his family name, someone went online to look up this guy's origins. If he didn't check, he wouldn't know. When he checked, he was shocked: "Holy shit! Is this guy so rich?"
"I have also seen that the Huo family is the number one family in Jiangcheng today! It has huge influence in both the real estate and entertainment industries."
"I never expected to see such a rich second generation in my lifetime..."
Next to her, Liu Hui also lowered her head and played with her phone. Looking at the introduction about the Huo family on her phone, her heart trembled and she felt a little unbelievable.
This is actually Chen Qiu's friend? How is that possible?
...
In the cold night, Chen Qiu sat alone by the river. He did not leave Huangcheng. After following the surveillance along the way to the suburbs, just as Erlong expected, Chen Qiu turned around and took a taxi back to Huangcheng.
The city center.
In the afternoon, he randomly selected a lucky spectator on the roadside and dialed Huo Chen's number for his own pitiful reasons, asking him to thank Brother Zhang and the landlady for him.
After that, Chen Qiu stayed by the river and never left. He didn’t know where to go. This place was relatively safe. Those who were following him would definitely think that he had gone to Dongyang City, but Chen Qiu did the opposite.
Dao Xingzhi swaggered directly to the city.
Chen Qiu fell into confusion again. He didn't know where to go, let alone who was following him.
After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind blew by, a bit biting to the bone. Chen Qiu, who had empty eyes, suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the time. Unknowingly, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
Chen Qiu stood up and left, but looked around but didn't know where to go. Now he can't use anything, whether it's an ID card or a mobile phone. In this era, it's really difficult to live without these two things, especially in a bustling city.
In the city.
Fortunately, the landlady had given him a thousand yuan before, so Chen Qiu found a small hotel with a poor environment and loose management.
Chen Qiu came to the front desk, looked at his aunt who was dozing, and knocked on the table. The aunt slowly opened her eyes and said sleepily: "Young man, where is the room?"
Chen Qiu nodded: "Well, help me get a room."
The aunt yawned and started to register Chen Qiu: "On the 81st night, give me your ID card and I will register it for you."
Chen Qiu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, sister, I forgot to bring my ID card when I went out."
"It's okay." The aunt pointed to the QR code next to her: "Electronic ID cards are also available."
Chen Qiu smiled bitterly and said: "My mobile phone has also been turned off, and I only have cash on me now."
The aunt frowned and looked at Chen Qiu with suspicious eyes. She obviously felt that something was wrong with Chen Qiu. She hesitated for a moment and finally waved her hand: "No, the inspection is strict now. I can't help you register without an ID card. If you are caught,
, we will be fined.”
Chen Qiu was a little frustrated and said: "Sister, can you just help me? I'll just stay for one night. It'll be fine."
Looking at Chen Qiu's pitiful look, the aunt felt very helpless. She sighed deeply: "You look like you are in college, right? Why did you quarrel with your family and run away from home?"
Chen Qiunun pursed her lips: "Yes, I don't want my family to find me."
The aunt hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, I will let you stay for one night at most, but you promise me that you must go home honestly tomorrow. I have seen many children like you, and my opinions are slightly different from those of your parents."
I just ran away from home, but the people who worry about you the most are your family."
"Yeah!" Chen Qiu nodded obediently.
"505, let's go! Take a hot bath and have a comfortable sleep, and go home early tomorrow."
After Chen Qiu got the room card, he returned to the room. This room was relatively simple, but it was extremely precious to Chen Qiu.
A day of running around made Chen Qiu exhausted physically and mentally. After taking a hot bath, he fell asleep. As for tomorrow?
See you tomorrow...
...
By the river, a man in black came to Erlong and whispered: "Brother Erlong, I called the surrounding civilian surveillance cameras, and I found Chen Qiu's figure! He left an hour ago, and I am
Have someone follow the road to collect the surveillance of the route he left."
The corner of Erlong's mouth raised slightly, and he said coldly: "Chen Qiu, Chen Qiu! You are too naive. Do you think all of us are fools?"
The investigation speed of this group of people was extremely fast. In just over ten minutes, Chen Qiu's location was already locked in the "Jixiang Hotel".
