Red wine with medicine added

  Cao Dahua is over thirty years old, formerly a lieutenant in the Armed Police Force's special operations unit. When he retired from active duty, he chose to start his own business and used his substantial severance pay to become the head of security at Zhicheng Company, with a handsome salary, three insurances, accidental injury insurance, and most importantly, a team of young men under his command, making life easy and comfortable.

  But this time, the Longyang trip made a big mistake. When others were sweeping the field, the security manager himself was not present and even allowed his subordinates to go out privately, resulting in being detained by public security, and the security personnel had a gap, which he was fully responsible for. Although Li didn't say anything, he would definitely make corresponding punishments afterwards.

  The position of the Minister of Public Security is no longer secure, and his likely successor is Liu Ziguang, a dark horse who emerged halfway. As for this little security guard from the property management company below, Director Cao had also studied him carefully before, thinking he was a relative of some mid-level leader, but it seems that's not the case. This person may have walked in through Assistant Wei's connection, or even possibly directly through President Li's connection.

  No matter what others rely on to make a name for themselves, true skill can't be covered up. A person who can take down over ten people is a fierce warrior rarely seen even in the military!

  Since you were born, how can Liao be bright? Cao's department head had a sour and bitter feeling in his heart. Seeing Liu Ziguang's complacent look, he couldn't help but feel a fire burning in his chest. Never mind what the future holds, for now, you are still under my command, I am Cao Dahua.

  Then Cao's director hastily walked to Liu Ziguang and said, "Little Liu, what are you doing sitting here? Don't you know that manpower is tight? Hurry up and go on duty at the main gate."

  Liu Ziguang said: "When people are nervous, they quickly make a phone call to shout for help. I'm not a door god, one person can't hold the gate alone."

  Cao Dahua cursed himself, he was so busy today that he didn't even think of calling the headquarters to send someone over. He said seriously: "You go and guard the entrance first, I'll take care of the rest."

  Cao Dahua immediately found Yin Zong to report the situation, and Yin Zhijian then found Li Niang to report. Li Niang was busy talking to several suppliers and simply said to Yin Zhijian: "Just do it as you think."

  The president nodded, and Yin Zhijian and Cao Dahua quickly made a phone call to contact, but new problems came again. There were only about ten security guards at the headquarters of Zhicheng Group, and today coincidentally it was also the weekend, except for the two people on night shift, they couldn't find anyone else.

  As for the situation of other branches, it is similar to that of the headquarters, with only security guards on night shifts. How can Zhicheng Group, which is not a Blackwater company, maintain an armed force on standby 24 hours a day?

  The only ones with a well-established security team are those property companies, but the neighborhood security is another story altogether. Those on duty can't be replaced, and those off-duty can't be summoned. You know it's already 7 pm on a Friday evening, everyone is out having dinner or having fun, who would want to work overtime? Even if they find someone willing to work overtime, they still can't find a suitable vehicle. At such a late hour, long-distance buses have stopped operating. By the time they find a suitable vehicle and drive in twos and threes to Longyang, then find the Xiyuan Hotel, it's likely that tomorrow's sun will already be visible.

  After making more than a dozen phone calls, Yin Zhijian and Cao Dahua looked at each other helplessly. They had only managed to contact three friends with private cars who agreed to come over immediately, but even if they did arrive, it would be of no use anyway.

  ……

  Longyang City South District, the old county committee's residential compound, there are more than a dozen single-family red brick villas here. They are called villas, but they are not much different from farmhouses. The yard downstairs is planted with vegetables, and the pond is raising fish and shrimp, just missing a pigsty.

  Longyang's administrative level used to be a county, and now it is only a county-level city. These old cadres who retired in the 1980s live in this compound for retirement, although they don't seem to show off, but people in Longyang all know that those living here are big shots.

  In one of the houses, in the living room on the first floor, an old lady with snow-white hair sat on a sofa covered with a towel featuring a pattern of leopards descending a mountain, wearing reading glasses and reading "Reference News".

  A fragrance wafted from the kitchen, and the old lady adjusted her flower-shaped glasses and said: "Wu Ma, add more chili peppers, Ping Wa likes spicy food."

  The nanny responded with a "yes" in the kitchen and immediately the cheerful stir-frying sound resumed.

  The sound of parking came from the door, followed by the sound of closing the car door. The old lady knew that her grandson was back and hurriedly shouted: "Wu Ma, open the door, Ping Wa is back."

  The nanny rushed out of the kitchen and opened the door, and standing at the door was Long Shaoping.

  Long Shao walked into the house with a smile and sat down beside the old lady, saying: "Grandma, is the thing I asked you to do done?"

  The old lady said: "Pingwa, put that matter aside for now, Grandma has something to tell you."

  Long Shaoping suddenly became impatient, lit a cigarette and said: "Hurry up and say it, I still have things to do."

  " Pingwa, your father died young, and your grandfather is no longer here. Grandma is worried about you now. If you keep causing trouble like this, always with knives and guns, something bad will happen sooner or later. When grandma is gone one day, who will protect you?"

  Long Shaoping immediately retorted: "What's wrong? I'm fine now!"

  "If it weren't for your grandma calling and pleading on your behalf, you would have been caught by the police long ago. Although Little Li was promoted by your grandfather, that's just how things work in official circles - once a person is gone, they're forgotten. They can help you once, but not forever."

  Long Shaoping became enraged, stood up and said: "Then I don't care, I will definitely carry out the old city renovation project, no matter what. Grandma, if you don't help me, I'll smash my head to death rather than let the Public Security Bureau come and arrest me."

  Saying that, he pretended to crash into the wall, scaring the old lady who cried out loudly: "Pingping, Pingwa, my precious grandson, how dare you scare Grandma? Can't you see Grandma is about to make a phone call?"

  Long Shaoping was finally satisfied, puffing on his cigarette, with his legs crossed, sitting aside, supervising Grandma making a phone call to Secretary Li.

  The old lady sighed, picked up the phone book and flipped through it, then grabbed the red rotary phone on the tea table and dialed a number.

  "Hello, I'm looking for Li Zhinan. What? He's not in? You must be his secretary. Tell Little Li that it's his Aunt Chen calling and I'll wait by the phone for him."

  After a while, there was finally a response on the phone, "Hello Aunt Chen, I'm sorry, I was in a meeting just now."

  The old lady said: "Little Li, busy with work also pay attention to your body, rest and work together. By the way, that thing I mentioned yesterday, you must consider it carefully. Pingping has been under your care since he was a child, he is a good seed for doing business, you as his uncle should help him out."

  "Aunt Chen, what I say doesn't count in this matter. The bidding is evaluated by a panel of experts and should be fair competition."

  The old lady pouted and said, "You several standing committee members just need to nod your heads, why make it so complicated? Old Secretary Long didn't teach you this way when he was alive. Things should be done quickly and efficiently."

  "Alright Aunt Chen, I'll think about it again and definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

  "Then I'll thank you on behalf of our family's old dragon, come visit us at home when you're free, Little Li."

  The phone hung up, and the old lady's face was covered with frost: "These young people, once they leave, they forget about you. Hmph, if it wasn't for your grandfather helping him out back then, he would still be a private school teacher for the rest of his life."

  Long Shaoping glared and asked: "Has the situation turned sour?"

  "No, grandma still has some face, don't worry."

  Long Shaoping was finally satisfied, stood up and said: "Then I'll leave, there's another banquet to attend."

  "Pingwa, grandma has already prepared delicious dishes here, why don't you stay for a meal? You haven't come to visit grandma for several months." The old lady got up and wanted to chase after him, but she couldn't catch up with Long Shao. He tucked the small package under his arm and went straight out the door, getting into the Mercedes-Benz and speeding away, leaving behind the silver-haired old lady standing at the entrance sighing and lamenting.

  ……

  Long Shao drove up to the Xiyuan Hotel at 7:30, parked the car by the side of the road, and Baldy jumped out first to open the door. Long Shao, wearing a black windbreaker, got out of the car, and several thugs squatting on one side came over, shouting in high and low voices.

  Big Brother

  Long Shao

  "Dragon Brother"

  Long Shao put on his sunglasses and asked, "Are all of you brothers here?"

  "Now that everyone is here, all it takes is one word from Dragon and tearing down the Xiyuan Hotel wouldn't be a problem."

  "Good!" Long Shao nodded in satisfaction and led several thugs towards the banquet hall.

  At this time, the banquet had already started. Director Song was giving a speech on stage, but due to Long Shao's tardiness, the speech was forced to pause. Long Shao swaggered in, surrounded by his entourage, and sat down at the front row of tables, saying nonchalantly: "Director Song, please continue."

  Director Song hastily said a couple of words and announced the start of the banquet. Everyone raised their glasses together to toast to the development and construction of Longyang City, then each found someone to drink with.

  This banquet is not a big eat and drink, but a social occasion, to build a bridge of communication for all guests, basically no one moves their chopsticks, but holds the wine glass to toast each other and chat.

  After three rounds of wine, Long Shao held his wine glass and swayed to Li Ni's side. Several businessmen who were chatting with Li Zong saw Long Shao's attitude and quickly left. At this time, Li Ni had already made psychological preparations. For development, she must cooperate with Shen Zhou sincerely. In front of her future partner, she had to force a smile.

  "This morning I mentioned that issue, I don't know if Director Li has considered it or not?" Long Shaoguang swirled the wine in his cup and asked Li Ni with a slanted gaze.

  "Cooperation is of course possible, it's just that I don't know what kind of approach Long Shao plans to take in cooperating with us, such as the scale of investment and the obligations we should undertake." Li Ni replied.

  "Haha, our company has a strong capital base in China, but recently we've been investing in an international project and can't withdraw funds for the time being. How about this: you guys provide the initial funding, and we'll contribute with intangible assets. We'll split the profits 50/50 between our two companies."

  Li Niang was so angry that she almost fainted, having seen shameless people before, but never as shameless as this, it's simply daylight robbery. What intangible assets does your black society leather bag company have? You're relying on gangster tactics to demand half the profits, extortion, blatant extortion!

  "If your company wants to contribute intangible assets, that's okay, but you'll need to have an accounting firm verify the capital. We can jointly invest in a new company to handle this matter and distribute dividends according to our respective investment amounts. What do you think?" Li Ni started negotiating.

  "Alright, let them discuss the specifics. We can just explore the overall direction. By the way, Mr. Li, I haven't had a drink with you yet. Let's have one." Long Shao said, downing the red wine in his cup.

  At this time, the wine party was in full swing. The people brought by Long Shao specifically targeted the employees of Zhicheng Group to drink. There were many rules for drinking in Longyang territory. They had a large number of people and soon got several male employees of Zhicheng drunk. General Yin alone was struggling to cope, and even Cao Dahua was pulled over to drink. After downing more than ten cups of white wine, his head felt dizzy.

  When Li Niang was chatting with He Long, her wine cup was on the table. A person dressed as a waiter walked by from the side, pretending to collect dishes, and with a flick of his fingernail, the powder in the cup disappeared into thin air.

  Li Niang naturally didn't notice this detail, Long Shao toasted her, and she picked up the wine cup, bringing the poisoned red wine to her lips.

  "Cheers, Director Li!" Long Shao downed the wine in his cup and slammed it on the table, his eyes gleaming with a sly light as he stared at Li Ni's slender neck and captivating red lips, waiting for her to take the bait.

  After drinking this cup of wine, you will be Dragon Young's person tonight.
