Fanglu Between the Green Cliffs
Chapter 20
Shanghai's train station had always been a crowded place since it was built.
The well-dressed young masters were often the targets of people from all walks of life.
Now, the same thing was about to happen again.
A man in a khaki coat hurriedly got off the train. He had shiny hair and wore a pair of glasses. He seemed to be in a hurry as he ran while shouting, "Catch the thief in front!
I'll reward you handsomely! "
Unfortunately, he was out of breath after running a few steps, probably due to his lack of exercise. He looked at the thief in front of him, who was wearing a black melon-skin hat and holding a briefcase, running quickly.
The thief heard the sound behind him getting farther and farther away. He let his guard down and even turned around to look at the other person. He tripped and fell on his face.
"F * ck, where did this jinx come from?" He quickly got up and ran while cursing.
He didn't expect to be grabbed by the back of his collar.
This person was surprisingly tall and strong.
Guapie didn't have time to look up. He struggled with all his might but to no avail. Instead, he was dragged along the way.
Guapie's heart grew colder and colder.
He resolutely gave up on the coat he had saved money to buy and was about to rush forward. He didn't know what kind of trick the other person used, but Guapie's hands were pulled behind his back and he couldn't move anymore.
The man in the khaki coat finally ran over.
He was out of breath, his hair was messy, and his gold-rimmed glasses were covered in a layer of white mist from his breath.
"Brother, thank you so much for helping me catch this thief.
I … How much do you want? "
The skullcap man heard the person who was holding him down laugh. The laughter was very pleasant to the ears.
A sense of jealousy arose in his heart. How could there be someone whose laughter was so full of heroic spirit?
"I saw that you were tired from running, so I did a good deed today.
No need for money.
This thief, what do you think? "
"This … I just called the police. If you don't mind, can you wait here with me for the police?
I'm afraid he'll run away … "
The man thought for a moment and smiled. "Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
"You're really loyal!
My surname is Zhang Fayao, and my courtesy name is Shuqin. May I know your name? "Zhang Fayao, who was wearing a khaki coat, sounded delighted.
He felt that he was really lucky today. It wasn't easy for him to get a doctorate from France. He could barely answer to his father.
His certificate was in the bag. Without it, his father would beat him to death.
If it weren't for this person in front of him, he would really be in trouble!
He looked at the person in front of him gratefully.
Speaking of which … this person was really good-looking and imposing!
How enviable.
His eyes were gradually filled with envy.
That person was wearing a black coat, carrying an iron suitcase, and a black top hat. He was very low-key, but he was very tall. Just by standing there, he was easily a head taller than others.
His appearance was very handsome, and there was a careless air between his eyebrows.
It was very conspicuous.
When he heard Zhang Fayao's words, his eyes flashed.
He smiled gently and said enthusiastically.
"My surname is Huo Duzhi, and my name is Huo Duzhi. You can call me Ming Ya.
He raised his eyebrows and seemed to have thought of something. He asked again, "May I know how old Shuqin is this year?"
"I just came back from studying for a doctorate in France. I'm 28, but I still haven't achieved anything. I'm ashamed."
"Then Big Brother Shuqin is a few years older than me." Huo Duzhi seemed to be deep in thought.
"I'm 23 years old this year. Coincidentally, I also came back from France. We're fated.
Big Brother Zhang, if you don't mind, you can call me Huo Er. "
"Hahaha, then I'll call you Huo Er!"
Zhang Fayao only thought that he didn't know such a person. Although he looked low-key, the style was very exquisite and not ordinary.
He was secretly happy.
Huo Duzhi smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
The two of them waited for the police to arrive and walked out of the train station together.
Zhang Fayao heard Huo Duzhi say that his home was in Yunnan. He guessed that the other party was not familiar with Shanghai, so he wanted to be the host and get to know him.
However, he didn't expect to see his father's good friend, Du Risheng's men as soon as he walked out of the station.
He couldn't stay any longer.
He was ignorant and incompetent since he was young. When he finally went abroad to study law, it was funded by Du Risheng. His father thought that he was useless and gave him half of the money and didn't care about him anymore.
Logically speaking, he was closest to Uncle Du Risheng. However, every time Du Risheng saw him, Uncle Du Risheng would lecture him earnestly, which gave him a headache. It was the same when he saw his men now.
When he saw the few men in black robes poking their heads in his direction, he hurriedly turned his head sideways.
He whispered, "It's not convenient today. This is my business card.
We'll meet another day. "
Huo Dou Zhi moved his lips and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Fayao hurriedly left.
Huo Duzhi didn't leave right away. He stood at the door and waited for a few minutes before seeing a few men in black walking up. The leader saw him from afar and bowed respectfully. He asked in a low voice, "Are you Second Prince Huo?"
Huo Duzhi nodded.
He said dryly, "Which family are you from?
Huang Xinrong or Du Risheng? "
The other party bowed respectfully. "Mr. Du brought me here to pick you up. Boss Huang, Mr. Zhang said that he is hosting a welcome party for you at the Pearl Clubhouse tonight. I was wondering if you have time to go."
"I'm just visiting Shanghai. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, right?" Huo Duzhi said.
"How is this a big deal?
Everyone wants to be friends with Mr. Huo, but Boss Huang said that everything is up to Mr. Huo. "The other party smiled apologetically.
Huo Duzhi asked dryly, "Who will be coming?"
"Oh!" The other party finally understood and quickly said, "All the influential families in Shanghai will be coming.
For example, Mr. Hong from the Hong Gang, Mr. Du from the Green Gang, Boss Huang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lin from the banking world, and Chief Xu from the police station. Are you coming? "
"Oh, Boss Huang and the others are so considerate." Huo Duzhi heard this and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Of course, I'm going.
How can I refuse such kindness? "
The other party was secretly relieved. He was really afraid that if this noble young master Huo Duzhi didn't go, Boss Huang would skin him alive. He nodded and respectfully invited Huo Duzhi into the car.
Huo Duzhi got into the car and leaned on his arm to look at the scenery outside. Shanghai had changed a lot, but there were still many places that hadn't. It was still bustling and bustling, and people were in a hurry.
He looked at everything that seemed familiar and thought of an old friend. A smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Speaking of that old friend, Luo Fusheng was very unhappy today.
His brother, Xu Xingcheng, whom he hadn't seen for many years, came back from France. He only had time to invite people to watch a play, and it wasn't easy to get the tickets. In the end, the Green Gang's lackey came to his door and ruined his mood.
He was also taught a lesson by a little girl who sang an opera for no reason.
Luo Fusheng changed out of his wet clothes and looked at the bruises on his back. He was hit when he saw Jiu Yuehong suddenly fall down, and he was distracted. The back of his head was also injured. A light touch caused a sharp pain, and it made him hiss in annoyance.
He was really angry.
"Big brother!" Lo Cheng hurriedly pushed the door open and saw the bruises on his back. He whispered, "You're hurt!"
"What are you yelling for?
You're calling a ghost! "Luo Fusheng put on a set of clothes angrily." What's wrong? "
"The gang leader is here!" Lo Cheng hurriedly said as he remembered the important matter.
"Godfather?" Luo Fusheng's expression turned cold. He straightened his collar and came to the Mei Gaomei's living room.
"Fusheng, Hu Qi and the others went to cause trouble today. Are you hurt?"
Hung Cheng-pao was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. He sat upright on the bench, making the Mei Gaomei's living room look like a Hong Gang's lobby.
"I'm fine. They can't hurt me with their martial arts," Luo Fusheng sat on the left and said respectfully with his head lowered.
"You're obviously hurt!" Lo Cheng couldn't help but interrupt.
"Shut up!" Luo Fusheng shouted.
Seeing this, Hung Cheng-pao said, "If you're hurt, go to the hospital immediately. Don't let Godfather worry."
Luo Fusheng was stunned and said softly, "I know."
"By the way," Hung Cheng-pao began to talk about business, "There's a big shot coming to Shanghai tomorrow. The Green Gang is well-informed and prepared a welcome banquet for him early. All the people in Shanghai will go back to attend. Come with me."
Luo Fusheng's eyes darkened. He had just been hurt today. He didn't want to drink for a few days, but it seemed that he couldn't.
He asked.
"I wonder who this big shot is?"
"It's the second son of the Huo family in Yunnan, Huo Duzhi." Hung Cheng-pao said with a serious face.
"The Huo family has been in Yunnan for a long time. Last year, the eldest son of the Huo family was adopted by Chairman Jiang. Their power can't be underestimated.
Although I don't know what he's going to do in Shanghai, it's always good to be careful. "
Luo Fusheng frowned.
Huo Duzhi?
What a strange name.
