Hold His Hand

Lu Tao is sixty years old. He has dark skin and three deep vertical lines between his eyebrows.

But seeing Lu Yanzhou, this man's face brought a smile: "Azhou, come here."

"Dad." Lu Yanzhou stepped forward and called out with a smile.

Lu Tao gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The original owner was the youngest and the only one who was born after Lu Tao left the rivers and lakes, so he was most loved by Lu Tao.

Of course, this kind of love is mainly manifested in giving the original owner more money and giving the original owner some good things. The two older brothers of the original owner had long since established their own business, and they didn't like these things. They would even give the original owner money like Lu Tao, so the people in this family had a good relationship.

"Xiaozhou, you're not too young anymore, so you'll follow me more in the future. Your brother has already gone out on his own at this time," Lu Tao said about how his younger son liked it. They will bring their daughters and granddaughters at home, so you can get to know more people."

Lu Yanzhou was speechless for a while, and he said that Lu Tao, who had never brought the original owner to such occasions before, suddenly wanted to take him there... It turned out that he was eighteen and wanted to take him on a blind date?

"Dad, men start a career first and then start a family, I don't want to know them." Lu Yanzhou said.

Lu Tao laughed: "Then if you haven't established a career, you won't have a family?"

Lu Tao didn't take Lu Yanzhou's words seriously at all. In fact, he was not in a hurry to let his son get married. This time, he took people out purely to let his son see the world and show off his son by the way.

His son didn't do any big things, but he didn't get involved at all, his grades were good, he could speak English very smoothly, and he was considered a young talent.

Most importantly, his son is doing well!

He is a big old man, and his wife who is a few years younger than him looks average, but he doesn't know what happened. Lu Yanzhou, who was born to his mother-in-law's old clam and Huaizhu, chose their advantages and was very handsome.

Lu Tao took Lu Yanzhou into the car and drove to the meeting place.

On the way, he also instructed Lu Yanzhou earnestly and earnestly: "Ah Zhou, this world is very chaotic, we have to think more about what we do and do.

Lu Yanzhou knew that Lu Tao hoped that he would not talk nonsense just because he hated Yan people.

Today's situation is complicated, and if you are not careful, your whole family will suffer.

"I see." Lu Yanzhou agreed with a bit of resentment.

The car drove two streets and stopped in front of a building.

Lu Yanzhou has seen all kinds of large gatherings in modern times. The building in front of him is very small for him, and there are few people in it, but obviously, other people don't think that way.

Lu Tao also looked at Lu Yanzhou with a bit of complacency: "How is it? Haven't seen such a scene before!"

Uh... he has seen such scenes a lot.

Lu Yanzhou followed Lu Tao, greeted the people in the venue, and accepted others' compliments by the way.

In this case, no one would say something unpleasant.

Of course, inevitably, some people brought their daughters and granddaughters to let him get to know them.

This is unnecessary, he only likes Xie Chengze.

Just as Lu Yanzhou was thinking, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

Everyone looked over together, and then saw a man in a black military uniform walking in with two people dressed like him.

The person walking in the front was full of terrible birthmarks on his face, which was extremely ugly, but it was this face that made people know his identity for the first time.

Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze, the director of the inspection department, the traitor and lackey who worked for the people of the country of Yan.

The whole venue was quiet for a moment, and then someone went up to greet Xie Chengze and welcomed Xie Chengze with a smile on his face.

However, whether it is a real welcome or a fake welcome... If you know it personally, it must be a fake welcome.

Lu Tao looked at Lu Yanzhou: "Come with me, say hello to him, and talk less then."

Lu Tao's expression was solemn, but when he brought Lu Yanzhou to Xie Chengze, he smiled again: "Director Xie, long time no see! Thanks to Director Xie's help, there was no problem with my shipment... Xie Director, when are you free, you must show your respect and let me treat you to a meal!"

Xie Chengze's cold eyes swept across Lu Tao's face, and finally landed on Lu Yanzhou's face.

Lu Yanzhou lowered his head subconsciously, lest Xie Chengze see that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Xie Chengze didn't look at him much, and quickly looked away: "I don't have time."

Xie Chengze didn't give Lu Tao any face at all, but Lu Tao was not angry: "Director Xie is busy with business, it should be when he is not free, it should be..."

After greeting, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and led Lu Yanzhou to the corner.

"Dad, it seems that everyone is afraid of him?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

"He is so unreasonable, a lunatic who will kill people if he doesn't like him, who isn't afraid?" Lu Tao said.

"Didn't he just care about those who betrayed the Yan people after joining the Yan people?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

"It would be good if it was like this. Someone who had taken refuge with Yan Guoren before was considered to be doing his best, but because he didn't give him a confession, he just found a chance to raid his home." Lu Tao said.

Lu Yanzhou didn't answer.

But...isn't that a good thing? Xie Chengze killed the people who took refuge in Yan Guoren!

"And if you are dissatisfied with Yan Guoren, only one person will die if you fall into his hands! You have to be careful with him in the future, or he will kill you suddenly, and I can't do anything about him!" Lu Tao threatened his son.

Lu Yanzhou said quickly, "I must stay away from him!"

When Lu's father and son talked about Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze looked at the people beside him: "Who is that young man beside Lu Tao?"

"It's Lu Tao's youngest son." Among the people Xie Chengze brought today, there was someone who was in charge of dealing with the Chamber of Commerce, and this person also knew something about the Lu family: "It is said that Lu Tao loves this little son very much, but his little son is not clear about his mind. , has quite a grudge against us."

"Really..." Xie Chengze's eyes swept across Lu Yanzhou again, he lowered his head and felt that his heartbeat had involuntarily accelerated.

"Director, are you going to check on him?"

"Check a little kid, are you so busy?" Xie Chengze sneered.

The man lowered his head and dared not speak any more, but Xie Chengze said again, "This little brat is quite handsome."

The people around Xie Chengze looked at Xie Chengze in surprise.

Xie Chengze is a man who loves money very much. He usually does some things like looting other people's property.

Even though he was very indifferent to Lu Tao and others, if Lu Tao and the others brought money to him and asked him to help, he would most likely help.

In front of the Yan people, he also bowed down and flattered.

People in the Inspection Office and other places know that Xie Chengze has two faces and is extremely hypocritical.

But at the same time, Xie Chengze's skills are very good, he is cruel, and he is highly regarded by Yan people. Therefore, no matter how people look at him, no matter how they feel that he is pretending to be aloof and indifferent, they still have to bow their heads in front of him.

He has never praised people's appearance in front of others, and now he suddenly said that Lu Tao's youngest son is handsome...

Xie Chengze has never been close to women, could it be that he is so masculine?

That Lu Tao's youngest son, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, was still a little childish, with clean eyes and a tall stature. If he could hold such a person under his body, would it feel good?

The man beside Xie Chengze was thinking about something messy when he suddenly met Xie Chengze's cold eyes: "What are you thinking?"

He lowered his head and didn't dare to think again: "No... I didn't think of anything."

Xie Chengze didn't stay at the meeting of the chamber of commerce for too long, and he left soon.

As soon as he returned to the inspection office, someone came over and said that it was Director Li of the Secret Service who was looking for him.

Some of the responsibilities of the Secret Service Bureau and the Inspection Office overlap, and the relationship between the two parties has always been bad. Xie Chengze squinted slightly and let people in.

"Why is Director Li free to come to me?" Xie Chengze asked.

"Director Xie, we recently learned a piece of news and need the help of the Inspection Office." Director Li said.

Ever since the deputy head of the Chongcheng command station was turned against by the Secret Service, he has been investigating since he knew there was someone like "Zhaojun", but unfortunately nothing was found.

Not long ago, the Chongcheng command station found out that something was wrong, and cut off all contact with the deputy station chief who had surrendered to the enemy.

Director Li was reprimanded by the people above, and the people above asked him to ask Xie Chengze for help. He had no choice but to come to the inspection office.

After Director Li explained his intention, Xie Chengze said, "We can help with this matter, but the information on your side, Director Li..."

"I'll have someone deliver one tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xie Chengze looked eager to try, "I'll have someone check it out tomorrow!"

When Director Li saw Xie Chengze like this, his face was not very good - this Xie Chengze made it clear that he wanted to take credit with him!

He must catch Zhaojun as soon as possible!

The Secret Service and the Inspectorate will investigate Zhaojun together, and they will inevitably find some wrongful convictions.

Under Xie Chengze, someone who had nothing to do with the case was arrested and extorted.

However, we all know that Xie Chengze loves money, so as long as someone follows Xie Chengze's path and gives enough money, his life will be fine. After the money is over, Xie Chengze will break up and give some to his boss, and everyone will be happy.

Lu Yanzhou stepped on the time and asked Huzi to hand over the information that the Yan people were going to attack the Self-Defense Regiment to the people at the Chongcheng command post, and then learned from his father that Xie Chengze had arrested a businessman surnamed Zhao in the Chamber of Commerce. ready to redeem.

The man was actually very innocent, and had nothing to do with spies or anything. He just happened to open a dance hall. There were several people who knew the information provided by Zhaojun and visited his dance hall.

"Old Zhao's hard-earned wealth, after this incident, there is not much left!"

"It was also his unlucky situation that Xie Chengze was eyeing him."

"It's not bad to be able to save his life. When Xie Chengze is unhappy, he can't come back."

…

When Lu Yanzhou returned to the Lu family's old house, he heard his father and others sighing.

He didn't sympathize with the old Zhao who opened the dance hall.

The dance halls these days are full of filth, and I don't know how many dirty things there are.

Moreover, in this era, people without power and power, whether it is to open a dance hall or a factory or a business, cannot continue.

Once a person of insight came back from overseas and wanted to save the country through industry.

His factory was open, and only those who lost money could not make any money until he couldn't keep running and the officer's brother-in-law took over the factory, and he made a fortune.

There are so many things like this, even the Lu family... Lu Tao has made so much money these years because he has a good relationship with the West.

Now everyone hates Yan people, but Xiguo didn't do anything good back then, so naturally the Lu family is not innocent.

Therefore, Xie Chengze's bullying of the businessman surnamed Zhao cannot be considered too wrong.

It's just that Xie Chengze's behavior will undoubtedly offend the rich people in Chongcheng, so in public opinion, Xie Chengze is also shouted and beaten by everyone.

"Dad, I want to buy ancient books, give me some money!" Lu Yanzhou approached Lu Tao.

Lu Tao, who was talking to someone, frowned: "Why do you want to buy ancient books again? You know that you can't eat or use these when you buy them."

"These are all treasures!" Lu Yanzhou said.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a note... How much?" Lu Tao asked.

"Two thousand." Lu Yanzhou opened his mouth and came.

"I'll give you one thousand at most." Lu Tao wrote a note for one thousand, and asked Lu Yanzhou to collect the money from the account.

"Thank you Dad." Lu Yanzhou took the money and left.

Seeing Lu Yanzhou leave, the person who was chatting with Lu Tao said, "Brother Lu, your youngest son is worthy of being a scholar, and he actually likes ancient books."

"Why does he like ancient books, he just asks me for money for any reason! The money is probably thrown away by him again!"

"Throw it?" Someone was puzzled.

Lu Tao pretended to be dissatisfied, but actually said with a little show off: "This child is very kind, and when others cook porridge or something, he always has to intervene."

Nowadays, there are many people in Chongcheng who have no jobs and are unable to feed themselves and face starvation to death.

Some rich people see them as pitiful, so they go to cook porridge, which his youngest son does a lot.

Hearing what Lu Tao said, everyone praised Lu Tao again.

After Lu Yanzhou took the money, he did buy food and sent it to the place dedicated to cooking porridge in Chongcheng.

This porridge was established by the people of the Western Church, and the people of Yan Guo would not be enemies. Lu Yanzhou and others donated food, and they can indeed be eaten by those who need it.

Flour, rice, bean dregs, etc., are all boiled into a pot, and when they cool a little, they are brought out. Those who come to drink porridge can each get a bowl and must drink it on the spot.

Those who came to beg for porridge were generally thin and bony, and some of the children's legs were as stubborn as bones.

Lu Yanzhou took Huzi and silently helped with things.

In this era, many people live no different from livestock. Those who are unable to make a living are miserable, and those who work in factories are not necessarily happy.

Even when they are sick, they have to work, and there are many workers who can only eat pig food.

Also because it is so bitter, people are mostly numb.

"What is Director Xie looking at?" Not far away, Director Li of the Secret Service asked Xie Chengze next to him with great interest.

Xie Chengze said directly: "He looks good."

Director Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Chengze with a bit of shock.

Xie Chengze took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it: "I like young people like this."

Under the sun, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was pulling up his sleeves, chopping wood, and working very seriously.

Xie Chengze really liked Lu Tao's young son. He glanced at it from a distance at the banquet before and couldn't forget it.

He wasn't going to do anything, but he didn't mind showing it.

He needs some weaknesses, and besides... it's a good thing that this little guy is attracted to him.

His enemies will sympathize with the little guy, and his "friends" won't do anything to him.

Xie Chengze exhaled a cigarette and looked at the boy who was chopping wood in the sun.

He has lived a very fake life in this life, but he didn't expect to give a sincere heart when he was caught off guard.

However, Xie Chengze did not stay in place and left soon.

He can show his love for Young Master Lu, but he can't be too caring. If he is too caring, someone might use Young Master Lu to threaten him!

That night, the Secret Service.

Director Li brought his own people to a meeting to ask about the progress of the matter.

The identity of Zhaojun has not yet been found out, and the people they once suspected have also been released one by one.

Suddenly remembering something, Director Li asked, "I remember you went to check on Lu Tao's little son? Is there anything unusual about him?"

"He has a lot of opinions on our country of Great Yan, but there is nothing unusual, and he has not seen anyone." Someone said.

Lu Yanzhou was only eighteen years old. He had been living in Chongcheng, and his experiences from childhood to adulthood could be found out. They did not think this person was related to the black snake.

Director Li also didn't think Lu Yanzhou was related to Hei Snake or Zhaojun, but this guy was unlucky, and he was targeted by Xie Chengze.

That guy Xie Chengze is so ugly, he's mentally ill, and he actually likes men.
