above the point of the knife

Chapter 281

"Fifth Lord, don't you usually dislike going to theaters? Why do you want to watch Xiao Xiangning's box-sealing performance today?"

"Hehe, you want to know?" Hou Wu grinned.

"Fifth Lord express?"

"You'll know when you go." Hou Wu didn't tell his subordinates, but took off his hat and put it on his head, "Let's go, let's go to the theater."

Hou Wu went out, got into the car, and talked about the new stage.

……

New stage backstage.

It's busy, tonight's box-sealing finale performance is about to begin, but the main character of the finale, the new stage art director Xiao Xiangning has never appeared.

The atmosphere was a little dignified.

If Jiang Rou doesn't show up again, then tonight's box-sealing performance will have to be replaced, and this person will be no one else except "Xiao Yuehong".

However, the order to replace Xiao Yuehong on stage has never been handed down.

This made Lu Xiaolou feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. He asked to see Bai Yulan several times, but he didn't get any confirmation. Most of them were sent by Changbo, asking her to wait patiently.

However, the show is about to start, and before the show starts, makeup is required, and it can't be done within half an hour.

Xiao Yuehong was also angry, without a formal notice, she just didn't change her clothes or put on makeup, no matter how much Lu Xiaolou persuaded her, she couldn't do it.

Things are deadlocked like this.

"Boss Bai has an order, everyone prepares, and the boxed show starts on time." Chang Bo came to the backstage and announced.

"Uncle Chang, tonight's protagonist has not yet been decided. There has been no news about Junior Sister Xiaorou, and Junior Sister Yuehong is a substitute. We must hurry up and get her to act. Get ready."

"Is she still having a temper?"

"Without Boss Bai's approval, she can't overstep?"

"Okay, let her concentrate on acting her part well, it's not her turn to be the leading role tonight." Chang Bo said without saying a word.

"Junior Sister Xiaorou is back?"

"You'll know then."

……

In Bai Yulan's office, Jiang Rou was putting on makeup. She had come back a long time ago, but in order not to disturb some people, she deliberately disappeared under Bai Yulan's arrangement.

The main reason is to see how many people in the "Lan Rou" drama club have two hearts, and how many people are dragged away by "Xiao Yuehong".

Naturally, those who have two minds can no longer stay. Fortunately, after sealing the performance, they will rest for a few days until the first month of next year.

There was a period of buffering, which gave the "Lan Rou" drama club time to buffer and make adjustments.

If this matter broke out normally, it would be really troublesome, and it might affect the popularity of the theater company.

"This Xiao Yuehong is jealous, narrow-minded, and gets involved with Qin Xiong. She is not suitable to stay in our drama company. This time, I just found a reason to dismiss her. If she stays, it will be a disaster sooner or later." Bai Yu Lan said.

"Sister Lan, everyone has their own aspirations, so don't force them."

"It's not that everyone has their own ambitions. She colluded with that Qin Xiong to harm you and poach your brother's corner. If it wasn't for her, would those people go with her?"

"Yuehong and I have been sisters for ten years. She really likes to fight with me, but her heart is not bad. Sister Lan, for my sake, give her a decent way to leave." Jiang Rou said.

"You're just too kind. If I were this kind of person, I would directly make her unable to gain a foothold in Bingcheng." Bai Yulan said, "This is what happens to people who eat their own food and behave badly."

"Okay, sister Lan, when will brother come over?"

"I don't know either. He's been busy with a case recently, and sometimes he doesn't come back all night. I don't know what he's busy with." Bai Yulan said.

……

Qin Lang's face was ashen, and he sat in front of Zhou Sen. After listening to the whole process of him and Jiang Rou being kidnapped, his fists were clenched tightly, and the anger in his eyes was raging.

He has already broken with the Qin family, and no longer covets any property of the Qin family. Why does his half-brother refuse to offend him, especially with the woman he likes?

It is tolerable and unbearable.

This is Qin Lang's inverse scale.

"Although I have no direct evidence to prove that all this was instigated by your eldest brother Qin Xiong, I caught Luan Yuanhui, the person who knocked you out and kidnapped you. He personally testified that he was instigated by Hou Wu. Who is Hou Wu? I don’t know, if you want to know whether Qin Xiong instigated this matter, or if he secretly figured out what Qin Xiong wanted to do, you have to catch Hou Wu!” Zhou Sen said.

"Brother Sen, what do you want me to do?"

"Hou Wu will come to the new stage to watch Xiaorou's box-sealing performance tonight. This is a good opportunity to catch him. To avoid disturbance from the guests, you have to do it yourself." Zhou Sen said, "You know Hou Wu's weaknesses better than us."

"Well, Hou Wu practiced Eagle Claw Kungfu, he is good at locking his throat, as long as he can bind his hands, he will be able to capture him." Qin Lang said.

"Okay, how many people do you need?"

"At least two people, and there must be more than two accompanying guards by his side. Once he makes a move, he must fight fast and make a quick decision."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will arrange to draw away the distinguished guests around him and give you enough space." Zhou Sen said.

"You want to catch someone in the auditorium?"

"Well, I have already arranged people in the auditorium. They are all plainclothes policemen who will assist you in getting people and protect the safety of other audience members."

"Okay, I agree, but if Hou Wu is arrested, you want to hand him over to me for interrogation?" Qin Lang said.

"This is impossible. He is a criminal and must be handed over to our police for interrogation. You are not a police officer and have no qualifications, but I can let you observe it." Zhou Sen said.

"Thank you."

……

"The fifth master is here?"

"Boss Chen, you're here too!"

"Tonight's box-sealing performance is really lively. So many bosses who are rarely seen come here. It seems that Xiao Xiangning's charm is really amazing!"

"Finally, I can enjoy Xiao Xiangning's demeanor tonight. It is said that tonight is a new play, or is it the premiere?"

"Yes……"

"Fifth Master, your seat is the third in the front row, and I will guide you there." All VIPs have guides.

After all, people spent money.

Hou Wu didn't feel anything unusual, followed the guide into the audience hall, and walked towards the front of the stage.

Many people have already entered the auditorium, and there are also boxes upstairs. Although the boxes are independent and undisturbed, the viewing effect is worse than that of the downstairs stage, especially the seats in the first three rows. They are all more expensive than the VIP tickets in the boxes upstairs.

Upstairs, the box closest to the performance stage, the viewing effect is not as good as the position below, but it is not disturbed by others.

"Fifth Master, this is your seat, please sit down."

"Okay, thank you."

"What would you like to drink?"

"Whatever, as long as you can enter it." Hou Wu sat down, looked up and ordered.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The guide bent slightly to leave, and not far away, Qin Lang, who had already put on the uniform of a waiter, walked over slowly with a cup of hot tea.

And with his movement, several people in the seats around Hou Wu stood up, and surrounded Hou Wu.

"Fifth Lord, your tea..."

Qin Lang squeezed his throat, and was just about to reach out to take the teacup, when Qin Lang gave it away, and the boiling water inside the teacup spilled out.

Hou Wu was taken aback, and was about to scold the other party, when he suddenly found that his wrists were grabbed by someone.

Hou Wu screamed as the boiling water splashed on the back of his hand.

"Bastard..." Hou Wu wanted to break free, but found that the hands were surprisingly strong. When he looked up, he finally saw the face of the person who grabbed his wrist clearly.

"Second Young Master, how could it be you?"

"Why isn't it me, Hou Wu?" Qin Lang sneered, and suddenly pulled one by one, Hou Wu staggered and fell directly from his seat.

How could Qin Lang give him a chance to get up again, quickly leaned on his back, and pressed down directly: "Sir, I'm sorry to burn you, I'll send you to deal with it..."

Hou Wu's two bodyguards had just reacted, but it was too late to go forward. They were firmly held in place by the people Zhou Sen had arranged for, and they covered their mouths, and even pressed a black gun around their waists. muzzle.

Hou Wu's hands were covered with blisters from the heat, and he only gasped in pain, and was pressed down by Qin Lang ruthlessly, with his arms arched behind his head, and no sound could come out of his throat.

Then, two people rushed over, picked him up from the ground, and rushed towards the side door of the auditorium on the new stage.

The whole process took less than a minute, and Hou Wu was captured alive and taken away from the new stage.

At this time, the performance hadn't even started yet, and the audience had just started to come and go, and everyone didn't notice this scene.

And even if someone saw it, they didn't dare to say anything, Hou Wu was taken away, if he didn't want to suffer for himself.

Better to keep your mouth shut.

……

"Xiao Rou, how are you getting ready?" Zhou Sen pushed the door and walked in, seeing Jiang Rou making the final touches.

"Brother, you're here." Jiang Rou turned her head happily, and when she saw Zhou Sen, she let out a cry of joy.

"Today is your box-sealing performance. My brother promised that I will definitely come to see your performance. How can I break my promise." Zhou Sen chuckled and glanced at Bai Yulan again, "Yulan, thank you for your hard work."

"You've been busy all day." Bai Yulan smiled slightly, she could see the imperceptible trace of tiredness in the corners of Zhou Sen's eyes.

From Jiang Rou's disappearance to this moment, Zhou Sen probably hasn't slept well for two days and two nights.

"Xiao Rou, it's time to say hello to the big guy." Zhou Sen smiled at Jiang Rou, "Don't make everyone wait for you for too long."

"Brother, I'm leaving. When the show is over, I'll treat you to supper." Jiang Rou said.

"it is good."

"Xiao Mori, what's the matter? I haven't told Xiaorou about Sun Qingkui's death. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it and it will affect tonight's performance." Bai Yulan walked to Zhou Sen and whispered.

"Sun Qingkui, an old bastard, he didn't want Xiaorou to have a good time until he died. It's not a pity to die." Although Zhou Sen didn't fully understand the inside story, he could infer a thing or two from what Luan Yuanhui and Xu Chunmei learned.

"Oh." Bai Yulan nodded, which was not beyond her expectation.

"Let's go, let's watch Xiao Rou's box-sealing performance first, and I'll tell you in detail later." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay." Bai Yulan nodded.
