Chapter 651: Northeast Tavern
"Sir, I just received the news that someone has sold 10,000 oceans of dark flowers on the black market, and I want to buy your life." Yan Lei reported.
"Oh, have you found out who is behind it?"
"It's Li Mi, the butler of Zhang Gongguan."
"This is a desperate situation. Ten thousand oceans, is my head worthless?" Lu Xiyan sneered, "Has anyone taken this dark flower?"
"Not yet. Didn't Wu Tuzi also sent five thousand oceans of dark flowers last time? Didn't anyone pick them up?" Yan Lei said, "Zhang Xiaolin wants to kill people. There are still many masters under him. Why spend money to hire people outside?"
"This is different. If it is his subordinates, as long as we catch him, he will not be able to clear his way even if he jumps into the Yellow River. But if it is a gangster who specializes in killing and dealings, even if we are taken by us, it will not be considered as Zhang Xiaolin's head." Ma Xiaowu explained.
"Xiao Wu is right. If Zhang Xiaolin uses his own people, then there is no need to make people lose money on the black market." Lu Xiyan said, "Although we are prepared, we should be more careful. Not only me, but you should be careful."
"yes!"
"Xiaowu, go to the smoke ban team to see me some training, Yang Yiming and the others, come here again in the evening." Lu Xiyan said, "Also, it's hot, pay attention to preventing heat and cooling, and reduce training appropriately at noon."
"Yes, sir, I'll go now."
...
"Yan Lei, I just looked at you and seemed to have something to say to me. It's not convenient for you to say Xiao Wu to be present, right?" Lu Xiyan glanced at Yan Lei and asked.
"Sir, as you secretly ordered, the fifth brother sent people to pay close attention to Young Master Hao's actions in the past two days." Yan Lei reported in a low voice.
“Have you found it?”
"Yes, last night, Young Master Hao got off duty from the police station and did not go home directly, but changed his clothes and went to West Shanghai." Yan Lei took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Lu Xiyan, "Sir, can you see, can you tell that this is Young Master Hao?"
"Is this Haozi?" The photo shows a man in his thirties, wearing a top hat, a long gown, and a beard. If he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't recognize Meng Hao. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Where did this kid learn the makeup technique?"
"Sir, Young Master Hao is in the police station, and he is in contact with some people from the martial arts world and learns some makeup techniques." Yan Lei explained for Meng Hao.
"That's true. Where is his outfit going?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Fifth brother sent a stalking expert to follow Mr. Hao all the way, and found that he went to Yidingpan Road and followed him into an alley. This alley was quite lively at night, with people coming and going into the alley. There was a Northeast tavern. Brother Wu's men saw Mr. Hao enter this tavern with their own eyes, and he went in, but he did not see Mr. Hao. About half an hour later, Mr. Hao came out of the private room inside. The owner of the tavern politely sent it out. It was obvious that it was not the first time Mr. Hao went to this tavern."
“Are there any pictures of this tavern?”
"No, in order not to be noticed by Young Master Hao, and at the same time, he was also afraid of alarming the enemy, Brother Fifth's people just followed him and did not move any other things." Yan Lei said.
"Let's go, let's go to this tavern tonight." Lu Xiyan said.
"Sir, now you are staring at every move. It's too dangerous to go out at this time." Yan Lei was startled and persuaded.
"It's okay, Haozi can turn himself into another person, why can't we?" Lu Xiyan said with a chuckling.
"This is a solution, but is it too dangerous for only two of us?"
"Isn't it enough to notify Brother Ding Er, just protect him secretly. If someone really does not benefit me, can you just pull someone out?" Lu Xiyan smiled.
"You really want to do this?"
"I want to see what the secrets are in this Northeast tavern." Lu Xiyan nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Yan Lei thought for a moment and nodded. He knew Lu Xiyan's personality very well, and he had to do what he decided.
"Thank you for your hard work, don't tell Xiaowu, let's leave quietly." Lu Xiyan said.
"Then how do you explain when you come back?"
"What to explain, we go quietly and come back quietly, so that he won't know, so there is no need to explain it?" Lu Xiyan said, "Besides, there are some things I don't need to explain to him."
"clear."
...
Last night, Meng Hao left the Northeast Tavern.
"Xiao Hao was really followed?" Luo Yaozu frowned slightly. The place he was hiding now was carefully selected. If he gave up, he would really be reluctant to let it go.
"Yes, the person who followed him is very skillful and should be a master, otherwise Brother Hao should be able to find it. More importantly, this person had a meal in our tavern. After Brother Hao left, he then checked in and left. There was no such coincidence." The subordinate reported.
"Have you sent someone to follow me?"
"I dare not, for fear of shocking people, so I will be completely exposed here."
"Notify everyone, the business will be closed tomorrow and prepare to evacuate!" Luo Yaozu made a quick decision.
"Boss, even if the tavern is exposed, you haven't been exposed yet. Who knows who Hao Ge'er came to the tavern to see? Maybe he just saw the secret here and made an appointment here?"
"Do you think the person who sent someone to follow Xiao Hao behind his back would believe it?" Luo Yaozu asked back.
"this……"
"This person can notice Xiao Hao, not an ordinary person, and can also send stalking experts, that is, extraordinary forces can do it." Luo Yaozu said, "When you are exposed, we will not be able to leave."
"If you evacuate, it will take time. The tavern can be closed. If the brothers leave all at once, they will inevitably be suspected."
"Well, you can't stay in the tavern anymore. I'll put up the signs for the closing in tomorrow morning, and then you will find someone to take over the tavern." Luo Yaozu said, "It just said that the boss suddenly got sick at night and the store couldn't be opened."
"I said you died suddenly, okay?"
"Get out, if I die, can I still sell this store?" Luo Yaozu glared at his subordinates.
"Hey, hey, hey, understand..."
"Wait a minute, don't check the business tomorrow. This is not that there is no money here. I am confused if I care about it, and I am anxious and confused." Luo Yaozu suddenly slapped his head.
"Yes, our sudden business closure is not just telling others that there is something wrong with our tavern?" His subordinates also woke up suddenly.
"Continue to open business, let brothers pay more attention to suspicious strangers, look carefully, and don't let anyone go." Luo Yaozu ordered.
"I understand, boss."
...
It was getting dark, and Lu Xiyan changed into a waiter's work uniform and came out through the back door, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and pushing an old bicycle.
Yan Lei left by car directly. He returned to Lu Mansion at night and did not live in the Windsor Hotel, so he would not be suspicious of leaving.
Lu Xiyan's departure did not arouse too many suspicious eyes around the hotel. Many waiters like him enter and exit the back door of the hotel every day.
Besides, no one would believe that Lu Xiyan, who is a dignified French Concession, would leave quietly with a waiter's clothes.
Lu Xiyan came out of the Windsor Hotel smoothly. Even the three guards arranged by Ma Xiaowu did not notice that the person they were trying to protect had slipped away under their eyes and noses.
They can't blame them completely. They are concerned about people coming in from outside, and those who come out from inside naturally have less vigilance.
When they arrived at the headquarters of Meng'an Company, Lu Xiyan and Yan Lei changed their clothes again, and Lu Xiyan made them almost the same as ordinary people.
The two entered West Shanghai together.
It was the time to light the lights. The western area of Shanghai was originally a bustling and prosperous golden cave, singing and singing, and the lights were red and wine. At night, the neon lights in the dance hall and the karaoke hall were turned on. You could see cars parked on the street, as well as young men and women hugging each other.
These people did not feel any pain as slaves to the country, but were still squandering and indulging in luxury.
"Sir, there is the alley in front of you." After more than half an hour, the two finally arrived at the entrance of the alley in the Northeast tavern.
"Let's go in?"
"Brother Ding Er and the others are here?" Yan Lei looked around and gently stretched out his hand to pull Lu Xiyan's sleeve and said.
"It doesn't matter, it's so lively here, with people coming and going, and there are also police and patrols from the Ministry of Industry and Technology nearby, so don't be afraid." Lu Xiyan smiled slightly, raised his foot and walked into the alley.
Yan Lei shook his head slightly and could only follow along.
The Northeast Tavern is located in a relatively low position. After walking about 100 meters, I saw the signs of the tavern surrounded by small yellow lights.
Northeast tavern.
This name is really a bit rustic, but in such a small alley, there are small shops around it with low eaves, and no one comes to it.
This should be a home-cooked restaurant that serves ordinary people.
The positioning is very good. Just look at the busy figures of the guys inside and the attendance rate of more than 60% to 70%. The owner of this tavern is very good at doing business.
"Sir, how many of you?"
The young man at the door saw a long gown and glasses, and he saw a gentle scholar. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly came forward to greet him.
When he was greeting the chef, Luo Yaozu suddenly turned his head and saw Lu Xiyan. His eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly. Others didn't recognize Lu Xiyan, but he recognized him at a glance.
Because in his mind, the faces of Meng Hao, Meng Fanxing and Lu Xiyan are engraved in his mind and you will never forget them.
It was a sudden jump in my heart, and a huge question mark appeared in my mind. How could he come here?
"You two, can you arrange a quiet location for us?"
"Quiet location, sir, sorry, the store's private room today..."
"Xiao Ning, go to the kitchen to check it out. The customers have urged me several times." Luo Yaozu quickly stepped up and interrupted the mate directly and said, "Sir, you should be quieter, right? There is a small private room in the shop. Come with me."
"Oh, thank you." Lu Xiyan was also a little surprised when facing the enthusiastic boss. The guy was interrupted by him just now. Logically, the guy would not lie, but the boss actually said that there was a private room and was so enthusiastic. Should he watch someone take a break or have another idea?
What is Meng Hao’s relationship with this store owner? Lu Xiyan couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
