Under the big banyan tree.

The stone table was still there, and there were two diners sitting opposite each other drinking at the table.

It was almost noon, and it was time for lunch. Liao Hongwei left Lao Bian and two other people at the snack shop to continue to wait, and he led the rest of the action team members up the bluestone steps and found the big banyan tree that the little boy had mentioned.

Sure enough, the stone table and stone benches under the big banyan tree were intact, and opposite was a small restaurant with only a wine sign.

Without waiting for Liao Hongwei's orders, several members of the action team occupied the four corners in unison and surrounded the small restaurant.

Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Liao Hongwei nodded and walked into the restaurant with a team member.

"Boss! What do we have to eat today?" The action team member was a local from the mountain city and asked in standard local dialect.

Liao Hongwei put his hands in his pockets and looked around the restaurant, but didn't see the person he was looking for. He turned his eyes to the restaurant owner.

"We have pork belly today, which is delicious! It can be made into twice-cooked pork and pork with mashed garlic. We also have fish and rabbit. What do you want to eat?" the boss said with a smile.

"One spicy rabbit, one twice-cooked pork, and two bowls of rice." The team member glanced at Liao Hongwei, saw Liao Hongwei nod slightly, and said to the boss.

"Got it! Please find a seat and sit down first. The food will be here soon. Would you like some wine?" the boss asked with a smile.

"No more wine, we need to talk business later." The team member said with a smile, "I think you recognize this person, he is a frequent visitor to your house! Here, there is a mole!"

As the team member spoke, he pointed at his mouth and smiled at the boss.

"Guo San! I knew it as soon as you said it, we have regular customers here! Most of the people who eat here are long-term regular customers, otherwise how come I don't even have a signboard? It's word of mouth!" said the boss quite proudly.

"That's right! It's this Guo San who wants to do mountain product business with us!" the team members said excitedly.

"Mountain products? Damn mountain products! That's a lie! I think he is more like doing business with women!" said the boss with a smile.

The team members were stunned. Liao Hongwei suddenly understood what was going on. He smiled and said in a not-so-standard Sichuan dialect, "We are still good friends even if we don't say it out loud! Besides, we also want that kind of... mountain products!"

As he spoke, Liao Hongwei gestured with his hands and laughed obscenely.

"This brother is really honest. Everyone here knows what Guo San does. Many people have taken care of his business." The smile on the boss's face was almost as vulgar as Liao Hongwei's.

A few drinkers heard their conversation and started laughing.

"I have some wine here, made with Cuscuta australis, Epimedium, Lycium barbarum and Cynomorium songaricum. It's a very nutritious wine that can help to make you look more powerful. Would you like some?" the boss said with a wink.

"Come on! We must have some!" Liao Hongwei said with a smile, rubbing his hands.

The boss was naturally very happy after selling the wine. The profit of this kind of medicinal wine was several times greater than that of ordinary distilleries. Thinking of this, the smile on the boss's face became even brighter.

The boss asked the waiter to serve the dishes and poured wine for Liao Hongwei himself. He subconsciously looked outside, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Speak of the devil, the devil appears, it's not Guo San!"

Following the boss's eyes, a man walked up the bluestone steps with light steps.

Sure enough, there was a mole near his mouth, which was quite conspicuous.

"Laosan! Laosan! Your friend is here!" the boss shouted from a distance.

The man was slightly stunned, but he did not stop at all. He just responded: "I have friends all over the world, which friend is looking for me?"

As he was talking, the man walked towards the restaurant and asked, "Are there any fish today?"

"Your friend has already asked for it for you!" said the boss with a smile.

Several members of the action team slowly gathered behind Guo San and moved closer.

"Guo San, Yamaguchi asked me to say hello to you!" Liao Hongwei smiled faintly at Guo San.

"Three people? Four of them? Which one is it?" Guo San was stunned and stood at the door without moving forward, but from the tone of his voice, he seemed very casual.

"Let's do it!" Liao Hongwei said with a wave of his hand.

Guo San seemed to sense something was wrong and turned around to run, but several members of the action team rushed over and pinned Guo San to the ground.

"Hello, everyone, we are all family. I really don't know which one is my sister-in-law! I really don't know..."

Guo San was pinned to the ground, unable to move his hands and feet, and begging for mercy repeatedly.

"It's actually a Pao brother! Take him away!" Although Liao Hongwei felt that something was wrong, at this point, he could only take the man back first!

"Hello everyone, Hello everyone, Xiao Pi admits his mistake! Which boat on the water are you from? Who is Brother Lao Guan? We are all brothers, so we can talk it out!" Guo San was dragged up, and although he begged for mercy, he didn't seem to be very scared.

"Brother Pao? I'm number 31!" Liao Hongwei said coldly with a dark face.

"Number 31? Never heard of it!" Guo San thought for a moment and said in confusion.

"You'll know when we get there!" said a member of the action team, pushing Guo San hard.

When Liao Hongwei turned around, he saw the boss was already stunned, with his hands on the table, trembling slightly.

"Boss, we can't drink this wine today. I must come and try it another day." Liao Hongwei said with a smile.

"Welcome, bosses! You can come anytime. I always respect my friends in the underworld." The boss said tremblingly.

"I'll say it again, we are number 31." Liao Hongwei said, waved his hand and said coldly, "Take us away!"

31 number.

In the conference room.

Today is the first day of cooking on the 31st. Although Cao Youguang said it was just "eat whatever you want", the kitchen still takes it very seriously.

Du Jianxi personally took charge and kept a close eye on every step of the process, ensuring that the stewed beef was soft and fragrant.

People who don’t eat much usually eat two bowls of rice in a row. If you have a bigger appetite, you might eat three or five bowls in a row, right?
Yang Denghuan secretly felt lucky that Wang Dazui did not come. If Wang Dazui had come, one pot of beef would probably not be enough for him to cook!

Having just finished lunch, Yang Denghuan and others, feeling very satisfied, walked into the conference room, holding tea cups filled with tea leaves of various colors.

Yang Denghuan's cup was still filled with Gao Sui. Even though he was in a hurry to leave Peking, Yang Denghuan still took some time out of his busy schedule to go to Qianmen Street and buy two kilograms of Gao Sui and brought it to the mountain city.

Eating beef and drinking Gaosui is undoubtedly a pleasant thing in life.

Not only Yang Denghuan, but Chen Yansheng and others also showed satisfied expressions, and some even took a toothpick and picked their teeth.

The beef was good, but the shreds were too thick and a bit stuck in your teeth.

But then again, how many people can afford to pick their teeth in this day and age? Looking at the posture, you can tell that those who can pick their teeth at this time are not ordinary people!

Cao Youguang sat in the middle seat, looking at everyone with a smug look on his face as they took their seats. From time to time, someone greeted Cao Youguang, and Cao Youguang responded enthusiastically. The atmosphere was quite peaceful.

Cao Youguang certainly had reason to be proud! At this time, he was able to get beef for everyone and let everyone eat as much as they wanted. This was a real skill!

Just by doing this, you can attract popularity and increase the cohesion of the organization!
Good words are worse than good food! This saying is applicable everywhere!
Zhou Yanwu walked into the meeting room holding a large bowl in his hand and drinking water.

When he looked up, he saw Cao Youguang looking at him, and he greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Director! Are you here in person for the meeting?"

Zhou Yanwu was a crude and uncultured man, but he was quite liked by Cao Youguang, who did not argue with him and just nodded and smiled.

"Director, today's beef is so delicious! After so many days away from Peking, today is the first day I have had a full meal!" Zhou Yanwu said with a smile, looking quite satisfied.

Cao Youguang found Zhou Yanwu's words most pleasing to the ear, because he knew that Zhou Yanwu was a straightforward person who would not flatter others or speak based on other people's facial expressions. Basically, everything Zhou Yanwu said was true.

"Have some tea to help you get rid of the greasiness. I see you ate a lot at noon!" Cao Youguang said with a smile.

"That's right. We finally caught it, so we should make more of it! It's all done!" Zhou Yanwu said, raising the tea bowl in his hand and said, "Just now... the tea that Deputy Team Leader Han gave me was a proper Qianmen Gaosui. I think this is a big bowl of tea!"

After Zhou Yanwu finished speaking, he walked to his seat with a large bowl of tea and sat down.

"Yansheng, have Su Na and Wang Dazui's portions been delivered?" Cao Youguang suddenly asked.

"It has been delivered, beef stewed with potatoes, rice, everything." Chen Yansheng said.

"Yeah." Cao Youguang nodded and said, "When others help us, we have to be grateful and we can't treat them unfairly in life."

"I understand! Don't worry, Director." Chen Yansheng said.

"Don't restrict their actions. Our friends should have freedom," Cao Youguang said again.

"There are no restrictions on their movements." Chen Yansheng nodded.

Cao Youguang was stunned for a moment, then he sat up straight and frowned, saying, "What? There are no restrictions on their movements? Can Su Na and Wang Dazui move freely now?"

"No! It's..." Chen Yansheng thought for a moment and said, "Relative, relative freedom."

Cao Youguang understood what Chen Yansheng meant, nodded and said modestly: "That's right, we need to allow them relative freedom, not letting them feel constrained, but also keeping them under our control! This requires a balance!"

As Cao Youguang spoke, he gestured the length with his hands and said with a smile.

"I understand!" Chen Yansheng nodded again.

Cao Youguang glanced at Yang Denghuan, then turned to ask Chen Yansheng: "I heard that someone shouted 'get together' at Jialing Hotel today? What's going on?"

Chen Yansheng blushed when he heard this and looked at Yang Denghuan for help.

Yang Denghuan looked calm, as if he neither heard nor saw anything. He lowered his head to sip his tea, muttering to himself as he drank.

"Hey! Aiya is not around, so I can't drink wolfberry chrysanthemum tea. I can only make do with some Gaosu." Yang Denghuan muttered, while Ah Qi blushed beside him.

"Deputy Team Leader Han, what do you think about today's incident?" Cao Youguang turned around and asked.

"I personally think..." Yang Denghuan seemed to think for a moment before he said seriously, "Yansheng and Su Na are a perfect match, and are more suitable than Wang Dazui. That's why I took the lead in shouting 'be together' in order to encourage them to take this step bravely."

Chen Yansheng rolled his eyes and glanced at Yang Denghuan, Zhou Yanwu grinned and laughed, Ah Qi's pretty face flushed, and Cao Youguang was a little amused.

"I'm not asking you that! I'm asking you what you think of your opponent's actions today!" Cao Youguang knew that Yang Denghuan was a man of few words. If he suddenly became serious one day, it might cause trouble. So he didn't take it as an offense and just continued to ask.

"Are you talking about the other party's assassination attempt? Suna performed very bravely, and I suggest that she be rewarded." Yang Deng said with a smile.

"Let's talk about Su Na's matter later. I'm asking about the other party's actions. Who do you think did it?" Cao Youguang asked again.

"It's exactly the same as we speculated. The other party couldn't tolerate us publicizing Suna's defection so publicly, so on the next day, they chose to assassinate her! This is enough to illustrate a problem!" Yang Deng said with a laugh.

"When the cruise ship arrived at the port, were there any intelligence agents from the other side among the people who came to greet the passengers?" Cao Youguang said.

"That's right!" Yang Denghuan nodded and said, "There must have been spies among the crowd that day. Collect their clues, especially after we left, to see if there were any unusual movements! You can check in other departments."

"I have sent people to investigate this clue." Cao Youguang nodded.

"During the assassination, two groups of people appeared, but they should not be from the same group," said Yang Denghuan.

"Yes, Yansheng also thinks so. One of the groups should be the Pao brothers, and the other two are the real Japanese spies!" Cao Youguang said.

"That's right!" Yang Denghuan nodded and said, "The Pao brothers in Sichuan are very powerful, and their internal connections are complicated. Some of them are not under the same command and are independent. However..."

Having said that, Yang Denghuan paused slightly, as if thinking.

"Just tell me whatever you want to say. We are having an internal meeting today, so you can say whatever you want." Cao Youguang said with a smile.

"I think these people today seem to be dealing with water. We can search based on this idea." Yang Denghuan continued.

"Pao Ge is just a general term, and there are many sects within it. However, we must be cautious in handling it and not let one move affect the entire group." Cao Youguang said as he thought.

After Cao Youguang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.

The Pao brothers in Sichuan are indeed powerful and have many sects. When everyone heard what Cao Youguang said, no one spoke, but just nodded frequently.

"The situation today is that the weapons and equipment of those people in the water are backward. They don't have any automatic firearms, but only some bamboo arrows and muskets. They are not very powerful. It seems that their role is more like interference to attract attention than assassination." Chen Yansheng said with a frown.

"That's right!" Cao Youguang nodded and said. (End of this chapter)
