Chapter 120 Chapter 259, 260
After Liao Jingming heard the host announcing that the meeting was over, he immediately turned to look at Liao Konganni beside him, and saw that she was also pale and looked at a loss.
"Jing Ming~" She quickly reacted and pulled Liao Jingming's sleeve.
Liao Jingming ignored her and just pulled her hand off her sleeve.
He still had the same polite smile on his face. Only people like Liao Konganni, who were familiar with him, could see the gritted teeth under his smile and the darkness in his eyes.
Liao Konganni's heart skipped a beat and she knew something was wrong.
At this time, Cai Xianxing, the old enemy of the Liao family and the chairman of the winning company who competed for the same project with the Liao family, came over.
"Old Liao, I accepted the offer. We won the Hengxin project this time."
Liao Jingming looked at Cai Xianxing's outstretched hand, gritted his teeth, and held his hand.
"Lao Cai, where are you now? Our Liao family is just trying it for the first time. We still have a long time to come."
One victory does not mean that we will continue to win in the future.
After cheering himself up mentally, he raised his chin slightly and looked at Cai Xianxing.
Cai Xianxing shrugged, "A good start is half the battle. We have achieved this success and hope to inspire you, Mr. Liao, to become more courageous despite setbacks. Don't be discouraged."
Liao Jingming gritted his teeth, "To each other. Don't be proud just because of one success."
Cai Xianxing patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for reminding me, Lao Liao."
After watching Cai Xianxing leave, Liao Jingming immediately swept his clothes off his shoulders in disgust. The place that was just touched.
He waved to the assistant behind him, "Can you help me check the price on Cai Xianxing's bid?"
The assistant bent slightly, "Okay, I'll check it now."
There was another person on the other side who was also paying attention. Things about the Liao family.
The sixth brother of Pei Yan's family frowned after the meeting.
"Help me take out the bidding documents of the Liao family and the Cai family and take a look." He tilted his head and said to the assistant.
Judging from what the Liao family had said to him before, they were quite sure of winning the bid.
Coupled with the information he provided to the Liao family, logically speaking, the Liao family should not be able to win the bid? !
Then, for some reason, he thought of Pei Yan's family again.
Isn't this guy doing something behind his back? He squinted his eyes and looked at the people gathered not far away.
The Pei Yan family stood in the middle of everyone, with stars holding the moon.
The smile on his face was bright, and he was surrounded by representatives of the company that won the bid for the port project.
He thought for a moment and walked over.
"Xiao Qi, congratulations. This port project bidding meeting was so successful."
Pei Yanjia showed an uninhibited smile, "Brother Six, you're so polite. It's all the credit of the team."
"Xiao Qi, I'm just shameless. Let me ask a friend, why... the one who won the bid for the project was not Liao?" the sixth brother of Pei Yan's family said with a hypocritical smile.
The Pei Yan family frowned slightly, "Mr. Liao? Which Mr. Liao? The project you just mentioned was too small, and I really can't remember it for a while. If you are worried that there is a problem with the selection process, you can ask Uncle Liu . Uncle
Liu was involved in the entire bidding process.
"Xiaoqi, what you said is too serious. I'm just asking this for my friend." He was so fake before.
At this time, Gary leaned forward and whispered something to Pei Yanjia.
Pei Yanjia showed an expression of sudden realization and stepped forward to pat his sixth brother on the shoulder.
"Brother Six, I told you that I was helping your girlfriend's father..." After he stopped speaking, he deliberately made a knowing smile.
When the people around him heard this, they immediately looked at Pei Laoliu secretly.
A few years ago, when Mr. Pei made drastic changes to Hengxin, he clearly stipulated that the descendants and in-laws of the Pei family could not use their connections to go through the back door.
Unexpectedly, just now, Pei Laoliu would have this idea.
This is just the father of his girlfriend, and he is not married...
Pei Laoliu didn't expect that Pei Yan's family would trick him here, so he explained with a reluctant smile: "Xiao Qi, your words made Brother Liu sad. Don't you know who Brother Six is?"
Pei Yanjia hummed and said loudly, "I know Brother Six is definitely not the kind of person who favors personal interests."
At this time, Gary took the bid and handed it over. Pei Yan's family.
Pei Yanjia took it and glanced at it before passing it to his sixth brother.
"Brother Six, it's what you want. Don't tell Xiao Qi that I don't care about brotherhood."
Pei Laoliu felt the eyes of the people around him secretly looking at him again, and he felt that the appearance of the Pei Yan family was even more disgusting.
He motioned to the assistant behind him to take the information, then nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
Looking at Pei Laoliu's leaving figure, Pei Yanjia shrugged helplessly, "It seems that my sixth brother is angry again."
"How is it?"
Liao Jingming watched the assistant come over and put out the cigarette in his hand.
The assistant's expression was distorted, as if he had eaten something unclean and wanted to vomit but was afraid to vomit.
"Mr. Liao, the price is one point lower than ours."
Liao Jingming tightened his grip on the cigarette butt in his hand, "Just one point?"
The assistant nodded and immediately lowered his head.
Liao Jingming was so angry that he punched the wall. "Go and check quickly. I don't believe there is such a coincidence. It's just a little lower than our company."
"Where's the third wife?" the assistant asked softly.
Liao Jingming twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Just remove her from her position in the construction company. If she can't handle such a small thing, don't do it. The person who wants to move to a bigger house will take over."
The assistant felt bad, and there must be another problem in this family. There was a fuss.
However, these were not things he could comment on. He just nodded to show that he understood.
"If it is found that someone leaked the secret, we will deal with it in the same way as before." Liao Jingming said calmly.
The assistant nodded, "Should I hand the person over to the second wife's brother?"
Liao Jingming glanced at the assistant, "What? Do you still need me to teach you how to handle it? And when you let him handle it, remind the second wife to tell him not to leave. I thought I didn't know what they were doing when they were searching people in the mainland.
I reminded them to restrain themselves and not to anger the mainland government at this time..."
The assistant was a little confused, but he was inexplicably frightened . Know why.
His boss currently only has one thing to do in the Mainland, which is to find the wife he married in the Mainland before and the two children his wife gave birth to.
From what the boss meant, the second wife and her brother had done something to the boss's investigation, or... they had done something to the wife from the mainland.
Seeing the boss's ugly face, he swallowed what he wanted to ask.
Forget it, it's all the boss's family matter, why is he so concerned about it, just do his job well.
Liao Jingming was silent for a while and threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground.
"Let's go back to the conference room."
The assistant immediately stepped forward and opened the stairwell door for him.
After they left, there was suddenly a gasping sound in the stairwell.
Lin Yilan put down the hand covering her mouth and patted her chest.
Liao Jingming's words just now frightened her and almost exposed her.
Originally, she thought that the only ones to deal with her mother, second sister and fourth brother were the eldest and second eldest brother of the Liao family. Now it seems that Liao Jingming was completely aware of this matter and ignored it. He even had an indulgent attitude before.
But why? ?
Aren't her second sister and fourth brother his Liao Jingming's children?
Lin Yilan felt cold in her heart and shivered uncontrollably.
What did Liao Jingming want to do when he picked them up?
She remembered the ending of the original book. The second sister died of depression a few years after marrying a playboy. The fourth brother was hunted down and was left with serious illnesses. When he finally felt that his health was not good, he died. Take the fire away from the Liao family and yourself.
She bit her thumb joint and kept thinking about Liao Jingming's intention of bringing them back.
I originally thought that Liao Jingming came back to them just because he wanted to have another daughter to marry so that the Liao family could further develop.
Now it seems...Liao Jingming doesn't seem to mean this?
She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what Liao Jingming wanted to do.
After stomping her feet bitterly, she climbed to the 12th floor and left the stairwell.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't know. As long as she takes care of all the Liao family members, her family will be fine.
In the next few days, she paid close attention to the news about the Liao family, and even entrusted Gary to tell her about the Liao family's situation every day.
Not only that, she almost wanted to find a private detective in a hurry.
But considering the uneven quality of private detectives, she would be out of luck if she steals the chicken but loses the rice.
After putting it off again and again, until she had to leave, she was ready to return to the mainland after making sure that Wang Ersheng was okay for the time being.
As one of the best hotels in Hong Kong City, the Mandarin Hotel has one advantage: as a VIP customer, she has the service of purchasing air tickets on her behalf.
This was a service she had just discovered.
So she didn't have to go to the airport early to buy a ticket this time.
After getting the ticket, Lin Yilan started packing her luggage and told Pei Yan's family to check out.
However, the night before she left, when she was going out for dinner, something unexpected happened.
Lin Yilan still remembered that she had not eaten noodles for a long time. When she was planning to go to the alley behind the hotel to eat noodles, she was suddenly blocked by someone.
Looking at the majestic man wearing sunglasses in front of her, she silently took a step back.
Then he pretended not to see them, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he found a row of mighty men standing behind him.
She was so big and thick, it looked like she could blow her head off with one fist.
Lin Yilan shrank and suppressed the fear in her heart. "Can I ask for anything?"
One of them stepped forward, looking like the leader of the group, and made a gesture of invitation to her.
"Our husband is looking for you."
"Who is your husband?" Lin Yilan quietly took half a step back.
The leader made an inviting gesture expressionlessly, "We'll find out
when we get in the car." Lin Yilan glanced at the black car on the roadside and laughed a few times, "I won't get in the car...it's so late. It's not safe for me, a weak little girl."
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to run away.
However, before he could take two steps, his arm was pinched.
"Sorry, Miss Lin, I'm offended. It's not convenient for our husband to show up, so please get in the car."
"Holy shit?! Is there such a way to invite someone?"
Lin Yilan grinned and struggled, "I The arm is about to be broken, please be gentle! ! ! ! "
During the process of being pulled into the car, the experience of the past twenty years flashed through Lin Yilan's mind.
Could it be that she, Lin Yilan, such an excellent architectural designer, is going to die in Hong Kong City?
No, she will die in the mainland.
Somehow, a resistance force burst out in her heart.
However, it didn't last a second before he was stuffed into the car.
She bared her teeth and rubbed her arms, looking at the person sitting next to her.
Wearing a suit and tie, the shirt and tie are both meticulous, and there is even a tie clip on the tie.
Judging from how much the clothes stretch up, you can see the power hidden under this body.
If it weren't for the old scar on his forehead and the mousse on his hair, this man would look like an elite.
But if you take a closer look, you can see that he is exuding the word "not to be messed with" all over his body.
Seeing that the car did not start, Lin Yilan coughed twice, "Um, who are you?"
The man turned to look at Lin Yilan, "It doesn't matter who I am, but I am someone who can help you deal with the Liao family."
Lin Yilan's heart trembled, and she controlled the expression on her face.
"Sir, you and I are strangers to each other. I don't quite understand what you want to do, but please don't make assumptions about me."
She put her hand on the switch handle next to the car door. "If it's okay, I won't accompany you."
After saying that, she went to pull the handle to open the door.
However, there was no response after pulling several times, so she knew that the car door was locked by the driver.
Unable to get out of the car, she neither became discouraged nor turned around to ask for help from the people next to her. Instead, she leaned back on the chair expressionlessly.
The man didn't expect Lin Yilan's reaction. He was silent for a moment and then decided to open his mouth.
"Ms. Lin, I really have no other choice when I come to see you today."
Lin Yilan sat sideways, leaning against the car window, holding her hands in front of her chest, looking at this person with a half-smile.
She wanted to see what he was going to do.
"I came to you today at the request of my wife. I think you must know my wife." The man took out a photo from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan looked at the photo in front of her and remained silent without answering.
For a moment, she sighed and took the photo.
After taking a closer look under the light of the roadside, she discovered that it was a photo of a man and a woman, and she did know the woman in the photo.
It’s Qiu Xiuzhen! ! !
And the man seemed to be the person beside her.
"Are you the father of Ms. Qiu's child?" she asked hesitantly.
The man nodded, took out his business card, and handed it to Lin Yilan.
"My name is Conway. Nice to meet you, Miss Lin. It's been a long time and I finally meet you."
Lin Yilan took the business card and saw the job title on the card, and she realized that this person should not be underestimated.
It turned out to be the SACP of the Hong Kong City Police Department, Senior Assistant Commissioner.
Judging from the fact that he is only about forty years old, it is impossible to get this position during the British Hong Kong government without connections and abilities.
Unexpectedly, the father of Qiu Xiuzhen's child turned out to be this person.
Lin Yilan recalled the newspapers she had read during her time in Hong Kong City.
She shook her head, unimpressed.
She basically brushes aside political news.
By the way, he calls Qiu Xiuzhen his wife, so has he not been married before?
At this age and status, it doesn't look like someone who is not married.
Thinking of this, she silently looked at Director Conway for a while.
He didn't have a wedding ring on his hand, and there was no sign of it.
"Ms. Lin, can we talk about business now?" Conway turned and looked at Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan nodded and returned the photo to him, "Director Kang, what do you want me to do?"
Kangwei glanced at the driver in the car, "You get off first."
"Yes."
Looking at the driver, he got out Behind the car, Lin Yilan originally wanted to open the window, but when she turned around and saw the people guarding the car outside the window, she gave up the plan.
There is no one within five meters of this black car.
Even the people guarding the car were five meters away from the car.
It seemed that what Director Conway wanted to say to her was very confidential.
"Ms. Lin, let's make a deal."
Just when Lin Yilan was thinking wildly, Conway opened his mouth.
Lin Yilan turned to look at him, "What deal do you want to make?"
Conway took out another photo from the inner pocket of his suit, and he stroked the photo gently.
Even though it was dark in the car, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but from the gentle aura emanating from him, she judged that he must be a very important person.
"I know you want to deal with the Liao family. Although I don't know why, I can help you." Conway raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yilan, his expression returning to its previous seriousness.
Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows, "Why do you say I want to deal with the Liao family? You don't know that I have a good relationship with Mrs. Liao. Although the eldest brother of the Liao family has recently become closer to the sixth brother of the Pei Yan family, that's not the case. It won't hinder my relationship with their third wife."
Conway pursed his lips, took out a document bag and threw it in front of her.
"As far as I know, a few days ago it was the announcement of the winning bid of the Hengxin Group's port project. The Liao family did not get the project this time, but their old rival, the Cai family, did."
"I heard that the Cai family's bid was in A few days before the announcement, a major change was made. The revised price was exactly one point lower than what the Liao family had given. "
Lin Yilan did not take the document bag, but kept looking at Conway.
She nodded, "What then?"
Conway didn't expect that at such a young age, she still had a mature mentality. If it weren't for the fact that she was Xiuzhen's good friend, his attitude wouldn't be as good as it is now.
"In the document bag are photos of you and Mrs. Cai a few days before submitting the bid."
Lin Yilan glanced at the document bag. It seemed that this person had been staring at her for a while.
"I don't know how you got the tender document? But you said if I sent the photos to the Liao family, how would they react?" Conway leaned back in his chair and looked at her with interest.
Lin Yilan glanced at him. This man didn't seem to want to deal with her.
"Aren't you going to make a deal? Let's talk about what kind of deal it is." She didn't want to get too entangled with Conway on the topic of the photo. Ever since she found out that this man was a police officer, she knew that it would be wrong to say anything.
In order not to expose Wang Ersheng, she quickly changed the subject.
Kangwei thought the same way, "When Xiuzhen was 8 months old, I told you to help take our child to the mainland. Do you still remember this?"
Lin Yilan hummed and nodded. .
"Just remember. We didn't look for you later because the child was a little weak. At that time, we thought we could hide it from the Liu family. Also, something happened to my relative in the mainland and he couldn't help me take care of the child." Kang Wei frowned as he spoke, his expression looking very ugly.
He even took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Seeing this, Lin Yilan quickly stopped him, "Director Kang, I don't want to breathe second-hand smoke in the car. Thank you."
Kangwei had no choice but to put down the cigarette and rub his index finger, "Now the Liu family knows that Xiuzhen has given birth to a child, but still They don’t know who the child’s father is, but they want to get rid of the child.”
“You also know how that bastard Liu Houwei hurt Xiuzhen, so we both feel that it is not safe for the child to stay in Hong Kong City.
” I want to make a deal with you. I will entrust the child to you and you will help me find someone to take care of him for a period of time. After Xiuzhen and I take care of the Liu family, you can bring the child back to
you every month . I'll pay you 10,000 to take care of your child, or hire someone to take care of your child. I'll pay you another 100,000 when the matter is over."
"And I can promise to help you, whether it's dealing with the Liao family or something else. ."
Lin Yilan was silent, she didn't expect this.
Qiu Xiuzhen had not contacted her before, and she responded by not mentioning the matter again. She did not expect that there would be so many things to follow.
"...I have a ticket to return to Beijing tomorrow. Do you mean to ask me to take your child away tomorrow?" She cheered up again.
Conway nodded and talked about the next arrangements, "Yes, tomorrow we will arrange for someone to take the child on the plane with you. After getting off the plane, the child will be handed over to you, and she will fly back directly."
Lin Yilan took a deep breath, "Do you believe me so much?"
"It's not that we believe in you, it's that we have no one else to trust. And you were the one proposed by Xiuzhen. If I believe her, I believe you."
Kang Wei touched the photo in his hand and felt very depressed.
"We cannot arrange for the child to go to Europe and the United States. The Liu family has a very good relationship with the British Hong Kong government. Once the child is sent to Europe and the United States, I am afraid the child will be gone."
Lin Yilan was silent for a moment. This is simply a big problem.
She really didn't want to take over a child, and a baby at that.
No matter in my previous life or this life, I have no experience in taking care of babies. Even though she has four brothers and sisters in her life, she is the youngest and has never taken care of any children.
But... Qiu Xiuzhen did help her, although she also plotted against her.
The most important thing is that the Senior Assistant Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force in front of her can help her deal with the Liao family.
It made her very excited.
Lin Yilan rubbed her fingers, not knowing that the question that came out of her mouth was, "Let me ask you a question, what do you think about the return of Hong Kong City?"
Conway raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yilan, saying that mainlanders are very Patriotism, it seems like this now.
He pondered for a moment and organized his words.
"...Compared with the British Hong Kong government's current trend of abandoning the port city, I believe in the leadership of the mainland more. I have also seen the development of the mainland in recent years. I like the history of the mainland's anti-Japanese war very much and have read a lot Related books.
The mainland may not be as good as the UK now, but I believe that the mainland will develop sooner or later. Xiuzhen is so smart, and I believe that the mainland that gave birth to Xiuzhen will not lack smart people. "
In the beginning, it was quite serious. Lin Yilan got goosebumps after hearing this.
Feed dog food? !
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said, "I can promise you to take care of your and Ms. Qiu's children. But please also fulfill your promise and help me."
Conway nodded clearly. Before he came, he said I guessed that she would probably agree.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"Didn't you tell me to deal with the Liao family?" Lin Yilan looked at Conway calmly.
Conway smiled evilly, "How do you want to deal with it?"
Through the car window behind him, Lin Yilan saw the dark sky, "The Liao family is bankrupt, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
She wanted the Liao family to die.
