Mahjong

Chapter 45

Chen Shen immediately ordered Ada and Aqing to ask the rickshaw driver.There are a few coachmen who often wait for customers in the area of ​​the film studio, and Li Xiaonan is very familiar with them, and someone must have seen where she went.

After Ada and Aqing inquired a few times, they finally found the driver who had taken Li Xiaonan to Burlington Hotel.The coachman took Chen Shen and others to the entrance of Burlington Hotel and said, "I will take Miss Li here."

Chen Shen looked up at the hotel, and suddenly found a red scarf tied on the window of room 621.Li Xiaonan was playing poker with the three men who kidnapped her. She excitedly yelled for a straight flush, and everyone had different numbers of notes on their faces, which looked very funny.With a bang, the door of the room was kicked open by Biantou, and Chen Shen and others followed immediately. Except for Chen Shen, the other three pointed their guns at the people in the room.The gangsters panicked and wanted to touch the gun, but they didn't dare.

Seeing Chen Shen, Li Xiaonan shouted happily: "Chen Shen, why are you here? What are you doing?"

Chen Shen walked up to Li Xiaonan and said, "I should ask you this."

Li Xiaonan grabbed Chen Shen's arm, "I'm here to audition."

Chen Shen glanced at those gangsters, and asked with some doubts: "Is it really an audition?"

Li Xiaonan nodded, "That's right. You don't know. As soon as I walked in, the assistant director even pretended to be a gang boss to test my acting skills and reactions. The director and I hit it off. Anyway, I don't have any scenes today, so I just Just play for a while."

The leader of the gangster nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Ms. Li's acting skills are amazing, and she is the number one female."

Chen Shen looked at Li Xiaonan in surprise, and couldn't help but insult her a few words: "Li Xiaonan, I guess the role you want to play must be lacking in heart."

Li Xiaonan looked back at Chen Shen pretending to be blank, and then he was taken away by Chen Shen.Chen Shen's steps were so big that Li Xiaonan was almost dragged into a trot. After running for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"

Chen Shen said, "My family."

Li Xiaonan rejoiced heartlessly: "Yes, yes, I will make soup for you. Let me tell you, I have learned a new recipe of Gastrodia black-bone chicken soup. It is simple and nutritious. This time it is guaranteed to be delicious."

Chen Shen looked back at Li Xiaonan, "I want to go out to eat."

Li Xiaonan said, "Then take me with you."

Chen Shen stood still impatiently, looked at Li Xiaonan angrily, and did not speak.Li Xiaonan observed his words, became obedient again, pouted and said: "Well, if you don't go, then I won't go, then I'll make soup and wait for you to come back for supper?"

Chen Shen pretended not to hear what Li Xiaonan said, and sent her straight home.At this time, he has no extra thoughts to deal with Li Xiaonan, he knows that there will be a big show at the Shanghai Grand Hotel tonight.He has to be fully prepared before that so that he can adapt at any time and put his full attention into this scene.

When the lights came on, Tang Shanhai had already put on his dress and tie, and walked out of the study.Xu Bicheng, who was well-dressed, also came out of the bedroom. An exquisite cheongsam was wrapped with a rich fur, and her makeup was bright, which made Tang Shanhai's eyes shine.Tang Shanhai looked at Xu Bicheng appreciatively, Xu Bicheng glanced at Tang Shanhai, and walked downstairs alone pretending to be sad.

Before going out, Tang Shanhai held Xu Bicheng and told him: "No matter what happens tonight, don't forget your identity and mission."

Xu Bicheng was a little annoyed, "Aren't you bothered by being reminded all day long?"

Tang Shanhai looked at Xu Bicheng and said, "You have to be happy, don't let people see anything."

Xu Bicheng broke free from Tang Shanhai's hand, opened the door and went out.Xu Bicheng, who was walking in front of Tang Shanhai, looked relaxed.

The streets of Shanghai at night are full of bustling scenes, and there is a sign at the entrance of the big hotel, which says "today's reservation, no individual visitors".There are two action team agents in suits and leather shoes standing guard at the entrance of the hotel, politely rejecting ordinary guests from time to time, and only letting in guests who are holding invitations.Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng, carrying gifts, got out of the car, and Secretary Sun and his wife also arrived at the entrance of the hotel at the same time.The two couples smiled at each other, greeted each other, and walked into the restaurant with each other's greetings.

Mrs. Sun looked at Xu Bicheng's fur with a little envy, "This kind of mink, the price is always good, and it is high-grade at first glance. Your Shanhai is really willing to spend money for you."

Xu Bicheng smiled, but apparently he was absent-minded.She glanced behind her inadvertently, but ignored the steps under her feet and almost fell.Mrs. Sun quickly helped her up, "Mrs. Tang, are you okay?"

Tang Shanhai turned back after hearing the sound, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter? Are you okay?"

Xu Bicheng smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, the heels are a bit high."

Xu Bicheng broke away from Tang Shanhai's support, and led Mrs. Sun into the restaurant.Tang Shanhai glanced at the street, and saw a car passing by the gate of the Shanghai Grand Hotel without a sound.The driver was Lu Ming, and Tao Dachun was sitting in the back seat, holding a sniper rifle in his hand.Tang Shanhai looked back calmly and walked towards the Shanghai Grand Hotel.

This is a Western-style buffet reception, and the birthday star is obviously not there yet.Mrs. Sun was toasting and chatting with Liu Lanzhi, she looked at Liu Lanzhi and asked, "Mrs. Bi, your complexion doesn't look very good!"

Liu Lanzhi still had lingering fears in her heart, "Oh, you don't know, when I went out with Chen Shen a few days ago, a group of people suddenly jumped out and shot at us. I was so scared to death, my heart was pounding these days !"

Secretary Sun and Tang Shanhai stood not far away.Hearing Liu Lanzhi's words, he took a look at Tang Shanhai and said, "The operation department is really very popular. Even a small character like Chen Shen is being targeted. Shanhai, you should be more careful!"

Tang Shanhai smiled, "I'm new here, I'm just a nobody, how can I compare with Captain Chen."

Secretary Sun looked around and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you see Chen Shen today?"

Hearing this, Tang Shanhai couldn't help but look around.Holding the wine, Xu Bicheng sat alone in the corner, looking boredly at the people talking and laughing enthusiastically.Liu Meina and Section Chief Niu chatted and laughed heartily for some reason.

Xu Bicheng looked at his watch, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

When Tang Shanhai saw Xu Bicheng, he took a plate of cake and walked up to Xu Bicheng: "Are you hungry? It's not good to drink on an empty stomach."

Xu Bicheng was reaching out to take the cake when he suddenly saw Chen Shen appearing at the entrance of the banquet hall in formal attire.Xu Bicheng was shocked, his expression changed, the cake fell to the ground by mistake, and the sound of the plate breaking immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.Following the sound, Chen Shen saw Xu Bicheng who was in a panic and embarrassed.

Following Xu Bicheng's eyes, Tang Shanhai also found Chen Shen.Although he didn't understand why Xu Bicheng lost his composure, he quickly called the waiter over to clean up the cake and plate fragments.He took Xu Bicheng's hand, checked it several times and asked:

"Are you OK?"

Xu Bicheng withdrew his hand and said subtly, "It's all right."

Tang Shanhai smiled, "Blame me, I let go before you caught it. I'll get you another piece."

Tang Shanhai turned and walked towards the buffet table, and glanced at Chen Shen.Chen Shen smiled back and walked straight to Xu Bicheng.

Xu Bicheng looked at Chen Shen who was getting closer and closer to him, with a nervous expression and his heart beating wildly.She turned around quickly, not looking at Chen Shen.Chen Shen had already walked behind Xu Bicheng and called Mrs. Tang.Xu Bicheng took a deep breath secretly, collected himself, and looked at Chen Shen in embarrassment.

Chen Shen generously said to Xu Bicheng in a voice that could be heard by the people around him: "Mrs. Li ordered, please ask Mrs. Tang to go over and check the details of the fireworks at the banquet."

Xu Bicheng froze for a moment, nodded, then put down his wine glass, and followed Chen Shen to the side door of the banquet hall.

Just as Tang Shanhai took a piece of cake, he turned around and saw Xu Bicheng followed Chen Shen out of the side door.He was a little puzzled, and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Secretary Sun and a man.Secretary Sun said with a smile on his face: "Shan Hai, let me introduce you. This is Boss Wang who is in the mahogany business and is also a good friend of Director Li..."

Tang Shanhai quickly put down the cake, and reached out to shake hands with Boss Wang.Chen Shen led Xu Bicheng to the balcony, he looked at the empty space in front of the door and remained silent.Xu Bicheng looked at Chen Shen's back and asked, "The fireworks are at nine o'clock in the evening, at the main entrance of the hotel. Is there any problem?"

Chen Shen shook his head and said, "Come and see."

Xu Bicheng walked to Chen Shen's side, and followed Chen Shen's line of sight to look down.She glanced at Chen Shen inexplicably.

Chen Shen said, "Did you see that man under the shade opposite?"

Xu Bicheng took another look, and found that there was a faint figure under the shade of the tree.She said uncertainly: "It seems that there is someone, but I can't see clearly."

Chen Shen glanced at Xu Bicheng, then raised his head to look at the night sky, and said, "This man is Wu Long. He witnessed Liu Sanmu being beaten to death on the pier yesterday when he was trading cigarettes with a military leader named Liu Sanmu. He was lucky. Escape, now he is here waiting for Bi Zhongliang to appear."

Xu Bicheng only felt a buzzing sound in his head and was stunned.She listened blankly to Chen Shen continuing to say: "This person knows some details of the military command, including the details of the six-member military command group that was arrested when you came."

Xu Bicheng couldn't help taking two steps back, and looked at Chen Shen with some horror.Chen Shen also looked back at Xu Bicheng, his expression and even his tone were unusually calm, "Last time at the Hunan Restaurant, I knew that you saved my life, and now I will pay you back. The person the military command wants to kill It shouldn't be me, but the man downstairs."

Xu Bicheng's face turned completely pale because of Chen Shen's words, she was so upset that she didn't dare to look at Chen Shen.

Chen Shen smiled and said: "Of course, I know you probably don't want me to die. Then I will boldly ask, because of our past relationship, can you let me and Bi Zhongliang go?"
