Chapter 529
The following afternoon.
Chen Dong spent the whole day in the hospital with Gu Qingying.
Dean Liu had made it very clear that because of the month-long incident across the ocean, Gu Qingying’s body had been depleted to the limit, and the slightest carelessness could lead to danger.
Chen Dong no longer dared to be careless and planned to take good care of Gu Qingying for a period of time.
The experience he had yesterday had made him decide.
Career and wife and children, the difference between high and low.
If a man could not even take care of his wife and children, what kind of man would he be if he had a brilliant career?
Chen Dong also took a day off from the hospital to straighten everything out, and also arranged for matters to be followed up and promoted.
Only, at four o’clock in the afternoon, an invitation was sent into the ward by Elder Long.
“Young Master, an invitation from Hongtian Real Estate.”
Elder Long looked somewhat solemn.
Chen Dong smiled teasingly, “Is that guy trying to set up a banquet to thank me for stabbing him?”
Long Lao did not say anything, while Chen Dong could laugh, he could not.
This was because it was clear to everyone that the purpose behind this invitation was not a good thing at all.
Chen Dong unfolded the invitation, and the content on it was extremely simple.
“Mr. Chen Dong is cordially invited to visit the ‘Green Plum Tavern’ at eight o’clock this evening, Zheng Qiu salutes.”
“Qingmei Tavern?”
Chen Dong was slightly dismayed by the location Zheng Qiu had invited.
As far as he could remember, it was a tavern by the river, not far from the house he had rented when he and Wang Nan Nan had been married for three years.
“Young master, old slave has snooped around, that Qingmei Tavern is not just a tavern.” Long Lao said in a deep voice.
Chen Dong deflated his mouth and closed the invitation with disinterest, “A small tavern that has been open for more than twenty years by drinking, it must not be ordinary.”
He had lived near the Qingmei Tavern at the time, and knew a bit about the situation behind it.
On the surface, it was a tavern, but in reality, there were some grey elements.
The people who gathered in the tavern were often people from the three religions and nine streams, and after midnight, there would often be hot scenes there.
Long Lao smiled spontaneously, “Old slave forgot that young master lived near there in the first place.”
“Not going.”
Chen Dong glanced at Gu Qingying on the hospital bed and casually threw the invitation into the trash.
Zheng Qiu was just a dog raised by Chen Tian, he didn’t even bother to know his name.
Yesterday’s “funeral”, he only wanted to knock the mountain to shake the tiger, to show Chen Tianyang his attitude, but also to deter Zheng Qiu dare not unscrupulous again.
He was not afraid to follow up on the mere business competition.
The reason why he did not kill Zheng Qiu yesterday was also because Zheng Qiu was just a dog of Chen Tianyang, even if he killed this dog, Chen Tianyang would continue to send other dogs.
“Good.”
Elder Long nodded his head, and then stopped bothering Chen Dong and Gu Qingying.
After Elder Long left the ward.
Gu Qingying, who had never said a word, finally spoke softly, “Those people, will they still be like yesterday?”
As she inquired, Gu Qingying’s eyes became extremely complicated.
There was fear, there was also worry, and there was even more pain.
As a woman, pregnant with six nails and just stepping back from the ghostly gate, and then encountering something like that, it would be difficult for anyone else to calm down.
Chen Dong got up and settled down to the side of the hospital bed, gently swept Gu Qingying into his arms and nudged his lips on top of Gu Qingying’s forehead.
“I swear to you, there will be no more of that scene from yesterday, I will protect you and the child well.”
The voice was resounding and firm, like a vow.
Gu Qingying’s expression eased a little and she snuggled into Chen Dong’s arms, as if she had something to rely on, and her troubled mind calmed down a lot.
But such warmth lasted only three seconds.
Gu Qingying then forced herself out of Chen Dong’s arms and gave him a scornful look.
“Quickly sit back in the wheelchair, you are pretending to be disabled now, don’t be seen.”
Although Gu Qingying was somewhat simple-minded, she also divided herself into people and things.
Born into a wealthy family, from her childhood, Gu Qingying had seen countless things following her parents, and her experience far exceeded that of ordinary people.
So she knew even better how important the card that Chen Dong was hiding from everyone pretending to be disabled was now!
“I suddenly forgot.”
Chen Dong gave a sarcastic laugh and sat back in his wheelchair.
He had also seen Gu Qingying’s concern, and his concern had led him to overlook the matter of “disability” for a while.
However.
Even though Chen Dong was determined to ignore Zheng Qiu, Zheng Qiu had no intention of letting the matter go.
It was 6pm.
Elder Long came to the ward again.
As soon as he entered, Elder Long glanced at Gu Qingying and then gestured for Chen Dong to go outside the ward.
In the corridor.
Chen Dong sat on his wheelchair and looked at Elder Long curiously.
With a stern face, Elder Long handed a white invitation to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong’s brows knitted together and a touch of depression surfaced on his face.
Red was for joy and white was for mourning.
When the invitation was made white, it was an invitation to mourning.
“Zheng Qiu sent it to the Dingtai Company.”
Elder Long had a stern look on his face while handing his mobile phone to Chen Dong.
Inside the phone was a photo, a wreath, a pair of elegiac couplets, incense wax and paper money, and the location where it was placed, was clearly the downstairs of Dingtai Company!
Chen Dong narrowed his eyes slightly and opened the invitation.
The content was the same as the previous red invitation, but in white.
The only difference was that this invitation was now unmistakably threatening!
“Heh!”
Chen Dong snorted, the cold light in his eyes blazing, “This dog, he won’t die until he reaches the Yellow River, he won’t shed a tear until he sees the coffin!”
Snap!
Chen Dong closed the invitation with force, “Tonight at eight o’clock, be at the Green Plum Tavern on time!”
“Young Madam’s side ……” Long Lao hesitated.
“Just ask Sister Xiao Lu to help look after it for an hour or two.”
Chen Dong said coldly, “This dog is unscrupulous, threatening me like this, obviously that slash yesterday didn’t make him remember, if we don’t finish this matter completely, he will do unscrupulous things later on as usual.”
“Old slave also thinks so, but please try to calm young madam, and not to let her emotions fluctuate too much again.”
Long Lao said in a deep voice as he worried.
As a close family slave of Chen Daolin, and someone who had brought Chen Dong up all the way.
Long Lao could have no feelings for the Chen family, but his feelings for Chen Dong and Chen Daolin and those around him were like those of a family elder.
As a family slave, he didn’t want to see the young master’s seed any worse for wear!
When Chen Dong returned to the ward, he did not deliberately conceal the matter and told the whole story.
He knew Gu Qingying’s character, if he didn’t tell the truth, covering it up would only make Gu Qingying think nonsense and worry even more.
After hearing this, Gu Qingying’s eyebrows knitted together and her face was fixed in thought.
Xiao Ying did not agree?
Chen Dong hesitated a little and was helpless in his heart.
But he had already decided to take care of Gu Qingying first.
So, Chen Dong’s lips were mumbling, and he was about to reject Zheng Qiu’s “threat” again.
“Go, be careful, the child and I will wait for you to return.”
Chen Dong was stunned on the spot: “You, you promise?”
Gu Qingying’s eyebrows unfolded and she smiled sweetly, “Not to be jealous, not to be hated, is a mediocre talent, my husband is not a mere mortal, these things will definitely not be less, since he has chosen this path, of course I have to support you, simply letting you back off will only put you in a lump.”
Chapter 530
Night was falling.
As thick dark clouds rolled in, they enveloped the entire city overhead.
It also dispersed the last of the dry heat of autumn.
A drizzling rain fell from the sky.
A hazy mist also rose above the sparkling river.
The taverns and restaurants along the riverbank are also a little bit more atmospheric as the rain falls in succession.
With the gorgeous neon lights, the haze is beautiful.
The “Green Plum Tavern” is silent to the extreme tonight.
In contrast to the few bars and restaurants not far away, it seems incredibly cold.
The neon-lit, empty entrance is marked with a sign.
“No reception tonight.”
In five large letters, it was a few large men who had come in the rain on hooks and shoulders who were irritated and left cursing.
In the distance, two beams of light came over.
The Rolls Royce came slowly and parked in the parking space outside the Qingmei Tavern.
The door opened and Kunlun and Long Lao were the first to get out of the car.
They then carried Chen Dong down from the car.
“Has the place been cleared?”
Chen Dong smiled faintly, his eyes were cold and stern.
“Even a dog dares to bark at Young Master one after another, Chen Tianyang is growing more and more capable, and the dogs he adopts are all distinguished enough.”
Elder Long smiled teasingly, his eyes dripping with endless coldness.
Following closely, Elder Long looked at Kunlun, “If you really do it, just kill it a little bit, this dog won’t see the coffin without tears.”
“Good!”
Kun Lun nodded his head and pushed Chen Dong towards the “Qingmei Tavern”.
Meanwhile.
“Inside the Qingmei Tavern, the entire tavern was decorated like a courtyard, with a courtyard surrounding a central atrium.
In the deep hall, there were bright lights.
There was a lot of noise and laughter.
In front of a huge round table, Lin Lingdong sat loftily on the main seat, his brow slightly frowning, looking somewhat unhappily at the warblers and swallows accompanying him around.
He …… was repulsed by such a scene.
In Lin Lingdong’s view, heroes love rivers and mountains as well as beauty, but any person who sinks into wine, S*x and wealth can never become a hero.
Or …… even a lord!
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money from the internet.
At this time, Zheng Qiu was embracing the right and left, his face full of lustful smiles, his excitement was in full swing, and every now and then he would even strike out recklessly.
This disgusted Lin Lingdong in his heart.
Casting a sidelong glance at Wu Junhao on the other side, Lin Lingdong’s mind calmed down a little.
Even though Wu Junhao was still hugging left and right, the man was sober and not completely immersed, but more of a play on every occasion.
“Come, come, Brother Ling Dong, I am really fortunate to have you here today, I would like to drink to you.”
Zheng Qiu’s laughter brought Lin Lingdong back to his senses.
He smiled faintly, picked up his gla*s and rose to clink his gla*s, drinking the wine in it in one go.
After Zheng Qiu drank the wine, he spoke eloquently to the people present, “I, Zheng Qiu, have become what I am today thanks to the great kindness of Brother Lingdong, to be honest, back then I committed a crime in Lingdong, the knife was on my neck, but in the end, I was saved by Brother Lingdong, he was like a new parent to me, Zheng Qiu.”
The words that he said were true, but they also made Lin Lingdong look good.
Everyone in the audience echoed and shouted their approval.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Qiu poured wine again and raised his gla*s.
“Brother Lingdong, let me toast you again. It is because you saved my life back then that Zheng Qiu is who he is today.”
Zheng Qiu smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the people in the audience, “In the end, if Hongtian Real Estate can establish itself in the city today, it would not have been possible without Brother Lingdong’s great kindness back then.”
Lin Lingdong was silent as he got up and raised his gla*s, drinking it all again.
Two gla*ses in quick succession drew applause from the audience.
Lin Lingdong smiled and said to Zheng Qiu, “You are the one who has lifted me up, you have achieved what you have achieved today, you have earned it yourself, I only did it casually back then.”
The fly?
Zheng Qiu’s smile froze for a moment, only to return to normal in an instant and said with a smile, “Brother Lingdong, in front of so many people, don’t call me a fly, right?”
“Hahahaha …… Yes, yes, yes, Zheng Qiu, Mr. Zheng!” Lin Lingdong smiled spontaneously.
As the underground king of Lingdong, he has his own insistence and bottom line in his heart, as well as the ability to get around on the drinking scene.
This night itself is only to talk about old feelings, and Zheng Qiu’s words before and after were indeed talking about old feelings, which Lin Lingdong did not reject.
However, when he saw Zheng Qiu pouring a third gla*s of wine again, Lin Lingdong smiled and raised his hand to stop it.
“Mr. Zheng, to be honest, I have visited this place tonight, there is another matter, the matter of the wine, it can be swallowed lukewarmly, it cannot be drunk by a cow.”
The atmosphere was originally lively, but with Lin Lingdong’s words, it became a bit cold.
Zheng Qiu looked at Lin Lingdong helplessly and said with a smile, “Brother Lingdong, we haven’t seen each other for so many years, tonight I am happy and have set up this game, why don’t you give me face and let’s have a drink?”
“Yes, yes, a thousand gla*ses of wine when you meet a friend.”
“Brother Lingdong is the king of the underground in Lingdong, I’ve heard of his fame for a long time, I’m lucky to meet him today, I must have a good drink to show my respect.”
“Brother Lingdong, Zheng has been with us for so long, but today is the first time we let loose and drink thoroughly for you.”
……
The chaperones in the audience also echoed.
Lin Lingdong was smiling on the surface, but he was a little disgusted in his heart.
He was not a man of the world, but a man of the world.
It was not that he was a snob, but after a certain point, people could only be treated as equals, or they could only look upwards.
What’s more, according to his information, apart from Zheng Qiu’s situation, these people here are really just “mongrels” of the three religions and nine streams.
These people might be considered to be the “big shots”, but in his eyes, those words of agreement and persuasion were just like mosquitoes chattering.
Wu Junhao raised his eyebrows and guessed what Lin Lingdong was thinking.
“Come, come, Mr. Zheng, Brother Lingdong is not strong enough to drink, so I will drink the third gla*s of wine on behalf of Brother Lingdong.”
However.
Wu Junhao had just lifted his gla*s when Zheng Qiu put it down with disinterest.
This scene undoubtedly made the atmosphere in the room even colder.
It also made Wu Junhao stand frozen on the spot.
Zheng Qiu wiped his face and said seriously, “My respect for Brother Lingdong has never changed, and it is already a blessing for me that Brother Lingdong is here tonight, so how dare I ask for a drink with Brother Lingdong?”
The words were a false pretense, but a sarcastic one.
Lin Lingdong waved his hand and gestured for Wu Junhao to take his seat.
Then he said with a smile, “I really have to restrain myself tonight, so I will have a drink with Mr. Zheng some other time.”
Zheng Qiu nodded his head and looked at Lin Lingdong seriously, only with a bit of drunkenness in his eyes.
“Brother Lingdong, is it true that I cannot agree to what I have been begging you for?”
Lin Lingdong shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m sorry.”
“Brother Lingdong is resolute, so I won’t stop you, but I have a request for you, I hope Brother Lingdong will agree to it for the sake of your friendship and mine.”
As he spoke, Zheng Qiu suddenly got up and knelt down on the ground in front of everyone: “I will never let Brother Lingdong work for nothing, and I will definitely reward him with money after the job is done!”
Something wrong?
Lin Lingdong frowned slightly, his calm face no longer concealing his disgust.
“Zheng Qiu, it was agreed that we would only talk about old feelings!”
“I know, but with Brother Lingdong’s power as your King of the Underground of Lingdong, this matter is just a handful to Brother Lingdong, please Brother Lingdong.”
Zheng Qiu kowtowed in public, his head hitting the ground with a thud.
In full view of the public, he could not lower his status to such an extent, which ordinary people could not do.
Lin Lingdong was a little helpless and casually asked, “What is it?”
“Kill someone!” Zheng Qiu was surprised as he looked up and said.
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stern and cold.
Lin Lingdong shrugged his shoulders and asked noncommittally, “That depends on who is killed!”
“As long as Brother Lingdong agrees, killing him is just like killing a chicken or a dog.” Zheng Qiu smiled confidently.
At that very moment.
A man ran in and reported with a solemn expression, “Mr. Zheng, someone is here!”
Zheng Qiu smiled brutally, “Brother Lingdong, the man who begged you to kill him is outside!”
