"Master Qiao."

"Right." Qiao Li took the incense and bowed in front of Guan Gong Dian. Then, he walked towards the mahogany chair with his cane and asked, "Is Zhang Quan dead?"

A tall and sturdy man wearing a black vest, with a hideous and terrifying tattoo covering his entire arms and neck, appeared out of place with the quaint atmosphere in the inner room: "No news yet, but Master Qiao, I believe you will be very interested in something."

"Oh?" Qiao Li, with the same unmoving expression, took a handful of tea leaves from the porcelain cup and put it into the teapot. He then poured water into the teapot and said, "The robbery cannot be avoided by Zhang Quan, nor by me." Qiao Li raised his head and looked at his men with a sharp gaze: "Do you think Chu doesn't know who did this? "If Zhang Quan can't find me in one day, then this matter won't be over. Do you think I have the heart to care about other things?"

"Master Qiao, that might not be the case."

Qiao Li used the brewed tea to nourish the pot. He was in his sixties and had a teacup in his hand that was as steady as a young man. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Did Master Qiao hear that Zhang Quan went to the Plum Tall Casino last night and brought two specially hired bodyguards with him?"

Qiao Li's hand that was holding the teacup stopped and his eyes flashed with a light: "Go on."

"One of the bodyguards went with Zhang Quan to see Boss Chu. It was said that he didn't come out of the casino until this morning. Master Qiao thought about it and realized that even now, Zhang Quan was nowhere to be seen. However, the bodyguard that went in with him had come out safe and sound … There must be something behind this. "

Qiao Li squinted his eyes and poured a cup of tea from the second pot and handed it to his subordinate, who received it in a flattered manner.

"Chu Feng is a cautious man. In the past five years, I've never heard of anyone he especially likes around him." Qiao Li stood up and walked to the window while leaning on his walking stick, "Could it be that Lu Shaotang has his eyes on Zhang Quan's bodyguard?"

"I thought so too. I heard that when Lu Shaotang took Zhang Quan to see Boss Chu, he asked the bodyguard to go with him."

Blue veins popped out of the back of his hand as he gripped the cane, his strength increasing. "Do you know where he is now?"

"Not only do you know, that brat even delivered himself to your restaurant. Right now, he is sitting in your restaurant, Master Qiao. "Do you want to..." The man stretched out his hand and made a 'neck erasing' gesture, his expression fierce and cruel.

Qiao Li raised his hand, "Lu Shaotang has a special relationship with Chu, don't act rashly. "Let's temporarily catch that brat. I don't believe that Lu Shaotang won't hand Zhang Quan over when the time comes." Qiao Li turned to him and said, "You have to do this personally. You have to do it well for me. Don't make any mistakes!"

"Yes, Master Qiao."

He had to go.

After sitting in his seat for about half an hour, Tang Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked towards the opposite table. The other side was pretending to read the newspaper and didn't expect his target to come knocking.

Tang Chen pulled a chair over and sat down opposite to them. He looked at them with a puzzled expression and asked, "Do we know each other?"

The other party ignored him, but Tang Chen didn't seem to have any intention of withdrawing his gaze. He was lying weakly on the table, staring at the other party with a pair of innocent peach blossom eyes.

The man began to feel scared.

"I didn't speak Chinese with you, so you should be able to understand what I'm saying." Tang Chen lied on the table and fiddled with the chopsticks, his tone was very light, and it was clear that he was very tired: "From the moment we entered until now, you and the other person have been keeping an eye on the two of us. Now that my friend hasn't come out of the bathroom yet, it must be that person's doing."

"…"

"We have no money." Tang Chen leaned on the table and cupped his hands, then lazily said, "If you guys are really hungry, I can bring you guys a bowl of noodles that we haven't finished just now and treat you guys to it for free."

"…"

"How about this, you guys release my friend, and when the two of us figure out a way to return home, I'll transfer the money to you."

"…"

"Is there nothing to discuss?" Tang Chen sighed and slowly reached behind his waist …

"Don't move!" At first sight, the other side thought that he was pulling out a gun. Immediately, he took a step forward and pointed the gun at him from under the table. "Take your hand out!"

Tang Chen wasn't afraid at all. He sniffed the air and then put his hand on the table … It was only a scratch from a mosquito, so why are you making such a fuss?

"Don't play tricks on me!" The other party was clearly not a mute, and his words were filled with vigor. Furthermore, he was quite ferocious.

Tang Chen blinked innocently: "I didn't play any tricks."

"Stand up and follow me!" Since the other party had revealed his identity, he was no longer polite to Tang Chen and immediately lowered his voice to threaten him.

"I don't have any money." Tang Chen reminded the guy that he was pointing a gun at him again.

"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll kill you!" The other person slammed the table and stood up, then directly pointed his gun at Tang Chen's forehead in front of everyone's eyes!
