Chapter 22

Zhou Zhong returned to Han Li's apartment and heard Han Li on the phone.

"Well, mom, I see. I'll be there tomorrow."

It turns out that Han Li will go to her mother tomorrow to discuss countermeasures. After all, there are more people and more ways to deal with it. Han Li saw Zhou Zhong come in and just finished the phone call, so she was anxious to ask.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you all night. Without saying anything, I'm waiting at home and I don't answer the phone. I'm afraid something might happen to you. "

Although Han Li restrained herself, she could still hear the voice of blame and worry in her tone.

Zhou Zhong felt that she was too busy to tell Han Li what she was going to do. It was normal for her to lose her temper a little. After all, she was wrong. Now what he has to do is to explain to Han Li that Zheng Dong didn't publish the agreed article?

"That... I... I just went to find Zheng Dong

"Zheng Dong? Is that the reporter? What's up? Any news? What about newspapers? Let me have a look

There seemed to be a ray of hope in Han Li's eyes. She pulled Zhou Zhong's sleeve and searched his hand to see if he had brought the newspaper back.

Naturally, there was no newspaper, but Zhou Zhong saw that Han Li was so urgent that he didn't know how to tell her. So he kept silent, looked at Han Li and told her with his eyes that there was no newspaper, so don't look for it.

As soon as Han Li looked at Zhou Zhong's expression, she understood everything. She suddenly lost herself and walked away in silence.

"No, I don't think so. I'll think of another way."

Zhou didn't want Han Li to immerse herself in her sadness and quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, you just called. What can I do for you?"

Han Li just remembered what she had just called.

"Well, by the way, I'm going to my mother's tomorrow. You're in my apartment."

Zhou Zhong thought about it for a while. As long as Han Li could get out of the shadow, she would be more happy to stay with her family than to live alone in this small apartment. She nodded and agreed.

In fact, Zhou Zhongli is more worried than anyone else. It's not only because Zheng Dong didn't fulfill his promise to publish the article, but also because he doesn't know where Han Li's father, Vice Mayor Han, has been taken. Now even the reporter's clues are broken, so he has no way to start.

The next morning, Han Li hurried back to her home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her cousin Lin Lu there. The two sisters grew up together, feeling the same as their sisters.

Lin Lu knew that her cousin must be in a very low mood now. She didn't say anything. When she came up, she gave her cousin a hug. Everything was in silence.

At this time, Han Li saw her mother sitting on the sofa quietly weeping. She felt a burst of heartache, and quickly handed over the paper towel.

"Mom, why are you crying again?"

Han Li's mother took the paper and said sadly, "everyone you can find has been found. No one knows where your father is now. Some people who have a good relationship don't dare to go through this muddy water. You say, mother can't force people to the dead end in order to save your father..."

Han Li's eyes flashed a touch of loss, knowing that her mother must have called those people again at home.

At this time, Lin Lu said: "Auntie, you can rest assured that I have found several business partners of my father. Some of them have some relations with the government. They are not very close to their uncle and are not afraid of any influence. They promise to help find out. You can rest assured."

Han Li hesitated for a moment and said to her mother, "Mom, there's a reception at the riverside hotel tonight. There are many people going to attend. They're hiding from us on the phone. When they meet, they won't hide any more, will they? I'll go to the reception in the evening

"Cousin, I'll go with you." Lin Lu said at the first time.

This kind of cocktail party is attended by people of the upper class. All the dignified officials and businessmen in the city will take part in it. It's really a good opportunity. It is said that people have the feeling of meeting each other. They can refuse Han Li decisively on the phone, but if they do, they will be more tactful to refuse? Maybe we can find out something. Anyway, Han Li can't miss this chance.

But there is a point, since we know that these people are hiding from Han Li, Han Li will inevitably suffer some grievances if she tries to get up. She is a daughter of vice mayor. She has been surrounded by people since childhood, but now she has to ask for help in a low voice. Therefore, Lin Lu said at the first time that she wanted to go with her. She could not let her cousin suffer injustice alone.

However, Han Li shook her head and said to Lin Lu, "Lulu, you'd better stay at home with my mother. It's useless to have too many people. Don't worry, I'm decent. I'll be fine."

"Mom, come with you." Han Li's mother stood up excitedly and said.

With a wry smile, Han Li held her mother's shoulder and asked her to sit down. She comforted her softly, "Mom, just wait at home. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Han Li's mother wanted to say something else, but Lin Lu understood her cousin's intention. She sat down and put her arm around her aunt and said, "Auntie, let's wait for her at home. She must be OK."The two sisters looked at each other and understood each other's wishes.

After settling her mother's lunch break, Han Li said hello to the servant, took the car and went back to the apartment.

Zhou Zhong saw that Han Li came back, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked her if she had a clear idea about her father.

Han Li said that it might be better to have relatives willing to help, but she did not give a word about the dinner party.

Zhou asked Han Li whether to have dinner or not. Han Li hesitated as if she was deliberately avoiding something. After a while, she said that she was not hungry. She had a date in the evening and planned to eat with that person. After returning to her room, she changed into a beautiful evening dress.

Zhou Zhongdu was dazzled by the gorgeous dress and Pearl coral earrings.

Han Li told Zhou Zhong that she might come to the party for a while in the evening, let Zhou Zhong eat by herself, and then she left.

Zhou Zhong felt that something was wrong with him. When he dated someone, he had to dress like this. Zhou Zhong felt that there was something wrong with him. He took his coat and went out with him. He kept a close distance. He not only ensured that he could see Han Li, but also kept Han Li from discovering himself.

Han Li called a car and sped off.

Zhou Zhong stopped a car in the back.

"Master, follow the one in front!"

Han Li's car stopped in front of a five-star hotel and got off to walk into the hotel. Zhou Zhong also quickly paid to get off and followed Han Li to slip in.

It's a five-star hotel. Zhouzhong has never been here before. The decoration is magnificent and the atmosphere is special. Zhouzhong is like a clown walking inside.

Fortunately, the hotel was full of people, and no one paid much attention to him.

After entering the hotel, Han Li went directly to the elevator. Zhou Zhong ran to the elevator and watched the elevator stop until the 25th floor, which was already the top floor.

Zhou did not dare to neglect, hastened to the side of the elevator to the 25th floor. After waiting for the elevator door to open, Zhou Zhong was suddenly dumbfounded.

The first thing you see is the crystal lamp hanging on the roof. The roof is very high. The crystal lamp is at least four or five meters high. It is so bright and golden that you can't open your eyes in the middle of the week. The hall is surrounded by two or three floors. There is only a row of railings, and the railings are full of people who look out from the distance.

In the middle of the week, I saw that all the people were coming and going. The waiters were wearing stiff suits and tie, and carrying plates freely among the crowd. The dishes were all food that had never been seen in the middle of the week, red, green and different colors.

All the people were dressed in formal clothes, both women and men, full of a quiet and easy-going, noble and cool temperament, and only Zhou Zhong wore casual casual casual clothes. When he looked at his trousers, he found that he was still a pair of washed and faded jeans, which was out of tune with the atmosphere in the hall.

And in front of the elevator, standing four men, four women, eight well-dressed waiters, saw the week immediately came forward to ask.

"Hello, sir. This is a private reception. Do you have an invitation?"

Zhou Zhong peeked into the hall. At this time, Han Li had already gone in. She was so beautiful that she only dressed up a little at home and compared with other well prepared women here.

Han Li walked with her long legs, and she was as beautiful as coming out of a picture. Without saying a word, she went to a waiter, asked for a glass of red wine, and sat down.

There is no doubt that everyone is attracted by Han Li's charm. Some men even forget their glasses because they are looking at Han Li. Unconsciously, the glasses tilt and spill all over their bodies. Others are busy looking at Han Li and forgetting her companion, which makes her very angry. She puts down her glass and is about to leave, so she quickly apologizes.

When Zhou Zhong saw all these things, he could not help but feel funny. It turned out that the so-called upper class society was just like this.

At this time, the waiter spoke again, and his voice was obviously serious.

"Sir, if there is no invitation, please leave here."

Zhou Zhong had no choice but to go back to the elevator, but instead of going to the first floor, he went to the 24th floor.

This time, when the elevator door opened, it was no longer a banquet hall. It was a corridor with rooms on both sides. Seeing that there was no one here in the middle of the week, he ran to the window and opened the window to look out.

Fortunately, it was already nightfall, and it was the 24th floor again. It was impossible for anyone outside to pay attention to him. So Zhou Zhong did the same trick again, carefully climbing out of the window, and then climbing up the top floor along the shelf outside the building.

Not to mention the big night, the breeze blows, but also really scared Zhou Zhong. If this accidentally falls down, it will directly fall into meat pie. But now Zhou Zhong is a brave artist. With his last experience, he easily climbed up.

What makes Zhou Zhong happy is that there is a huge rooftop on the 25th floor, and the banquet hall is just an idea. If it is usually put on the roof, many people will go to the rooftop to let out the wind, but this evening the wind is strong, so no one comes out of the banquet hall, so Zhou Zhong stealthily lurks in front of the huge glass door to look for Han Li's figure inside.
