rebirth against the times

On the Baodao side, Jay went to Gaul for business and was unable to attend Chen Bing's concert. However, under Liu Dawei's arrangement, the concert was a great success despite the lack of Jay's help. After the concert,

Chen Bing's fame gradually spread in Baodao, and he was warmly invited by local people from all walks of life. Under Liu Dawei's arrangement, he was invited to attend some gatherings of Baodao's celebrity circles. Originally, this was also an opportunity to open up the Baodao market and integrate into the local culture.

A good opportunity, but Chen Bing's beauty attracted the covetous attention of a big boss in Baodao.

On this day, Chen Bing, who had already planned to return to the mainland the next day, received an invitation from a man named Liu Xiong. Chen Bing wanted to refuse, but because Liu Xiong was quite powerful in the local area and was a member of the political circle,

Secretly, he is an important leader of the gangster gang Black Bamboo Gang. Even Liu Dawei did not dare to offend him, so Chen Bing had no choice but to attend the invitation. Duan Lei accompanied Chen Bing to the appointment, but at the door of the hotel, Duan Lei was told that Liu Xiong was going to be alone

While dining with Chen Bing, the staff took Duan Lei to a small hall nearby. When Chen Bing appeared in front of Liu Xiong, Liu Xiong's eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up to greet Chen Bing and helped Chen Bing arrange his seat.

Chair. Liu Xiong is probably in his 50s. He is wearing a suit. There are two dragons embroidered with gold thread on both sides of the collar of the suit. His hair is shiny and he looks like a big brother.

After a polite introduction, Liu Xiong asked someone to present a box and put it in front of Chen Bing, saying it was a meeting gift for Chen Bing. When Chen Bing opened the box, he saw that there was a string of red gems inlaid inside.

Necklace. Liu Xiong said: "Miss Chen, this is the ruby ​​necklace I bought at the auction for 1 million yuan last month. It's a small gift. I hope Miss Chen will accept it."

Chen Bing smiled gently, closed the box, and then pushed it towards Liu Xiong and said: "Mr. Liu is so polite. It is a great honor to have the honor to meet Mr. Liu and have dinner with Mr. Liu. I cannot accept such an expensive gift."

.”

In Liu Xiong's heart, the mainland is a remote and remote place, and mainlanders can't even afford tea eggs. Chen Bing must have been frightened by such a necklace, so he said with a wicked smile: "Oh, Miss Chen, I know you guys

The economic conditions of the mainlanders are poor, and most of them are poor and cannot even afford tea eggs. This necklace may indeed be more expensive in your eyes, but in my eyes it is just a treat for a meal, so please don't refuse it.

"

Hearing Liu Xiong say this, Chen Bing was really angry and funny, but in the end he stopped smiling and returned the necklace to Liu Xiong very resolutely. Seeing that Chen Bing was a little unhappy, Liu Xiong asked someone to serve the dishes first.

It was considered exquisite, mainly serving Western food. Liu Xiong asked someone to open a bottle of Lafite and pour it for Chen Bing. Chen Bing always remained polite and dignified, and ate a symbolic amount of various dishes, including red wine.

It’s just a taste.

When Liu Xiong heard that Chen Bing was leaving Treasure Island the next day, he immediately suggested that Chen Bing stay a few more days so that he could arrange for Chen Bing to travel around. However, Chen Bing refused because he had to arrange a concert next time.

At the end of the meal, Liu Xiong once again hoped that Chen Bing would not leave Baodao so soon. He also said that if Chen Bing wanted to stay on Baodao for development in the future, he could make all arrangements. Chen Bing rudely rejected Liu Xiong's offer.

After many suggestions, Liu Xiong finally stopped demonstrating and went straight to the topic. He said to Chen Bing: "Miss Chen, since I met Miss Chen, I personally admire Miss Chen very much. I sincerely want to help Miss Chen. If

If Miss Chen is willing to follow me in the future, I guarantee that you will enjoy all the glory and wealth. If Miss Chen wants to continue singing, I can also help you connect with an international record company, which will be hundreds of times better than your development in the mainland."

Chen laughed coldly: "Brother Xiong is joking. I don't know what Brother Xiong means by following you."

Liu Xiong said with a lewd smile: "Of course she is my woman. I can really like Miss Chen."

Chen Bing replied coldly: "Then I have no choice but to apologize. I already have someone I like, and Brother Xiong's wish may not be fulfilled." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

At this time, a man in a suit walked up and stopped Chen Bing. Chen Bing turned around and looked at Liu Xiong and asked, "What? Brother Xiong, am I not allowed to leave?"

At this time, Liu Xiong had already torn apart his hypocritical pretense, and said ruthlessly: "I, Liu Xiong, have not fallen in love with the women I can't win. Miss Chen, I advise you to think about it carefully. How can a mainland girl like you be in Baodao?"

It can’t escape the palm of my hand.”

Chen Bing looked angry and scolded: "Why, you are trying to buy and sell by force. Although I am a prostitute, I also know my shame. Don't even think about those obscene and shameless things."

At this time, Duan Lei outside also noticed something strange here, and rushed over to protect Chen Bing. Seeing that Liu Xiong seemed to want to harm Chen Bing, he wanted to take Chen Bing away forcibly. After some pulling,

Chen Bing slapped Liu Xiong angrily. Liu Xiong, who was furious, saw that Chen Bing was tough and unyielding, and a brat appeared out of nowhere. He just happened to spread his anger on Duan Lei, and led others to attack Duan Lei.

They beat and scolded each other. After Chen Bing attacked each other with his body, Liu Xiong gave the order to stop. By this time, Lei had been beaten until his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and his whole body was covered in injuries.

After Liu Xiong was slapped by Chen Bing, he became more and more interested in Chen Bing's hotness. He wished that he could get Chen Bing immediately, but the strong will was not sweet. He still hoped that Chen Bing could become his woman willingly.

After a stalemate, Liu Xiong decided to give Chen Bing a week to think about it because he was going to attend a meeting elsewhere the next day and would not be back for a week. However, during this period, Chen Bing was not allowed to leave the island, or even

They were not allowed to leave the hotel. The hotel Chen Bing and the others were staying in happened to be Liu Xiong's property, so he sent people to monitor the hotel, effectively putting Chen Bing under house arrest.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Dawei used his connections to run around, but not only did it not work, he was also warned by Liu Xiong's people and was also imprisoned in the hotel. In desperation, he had no choice but to tell what happened here

They met Jay who was far away in Gaul and Nie Dong who was still in the imperial capital. After Jay heard about it, although he could not rush back to the island immediately, he immediately used his connections to mediate. After that, Liu Xiong finally gave him some face.

Chen Bing and his party were not overly embarrassed in the hotel, but they still found various reasons to not allow them to leave.

After Nie Dong heard the news, he felt his head was pounding. They didn't have much strength in Treasure Island. If even Liu Dawei couldn't handle it, it would be really troublesome. After thinking for a long time, he told Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo

He asked Nie Dong to rush to the capital of Shu immediately to discuss a solution. Then he immediately found a group of brothers and even found Xiao Zhen to discuss a solution together.

Still in the bearded bar, Bai Shuo, Xiao Zhen, Cao An, Zhu Zhu, and Anna were silent. Everyone was originally discussing how to solve the problem of Chen Bing being trapped, but there was no feasible plan. Xiao Zhen advocated

If the problem is solved through legitimate channels, the matter will be reported to the "Cross-Strait Office" for negotiation with the Baodao authorities. However, Bai Shuo believes that this is very slow, and maybe Chen Bing will be in danger by the time he arrives. At this time, Cao An also believes that the current cross-strait situation

It's not very stable. The other party has considerable strength in politics and the underworld. If you push too hard, the other party may take risks and die without any evidence, or even destroy the body and eliminate traces... But in Bai Shuo's case of killing people,

Under the eyes, Cao An did not finish his words.

Zhu Zhu suggested exposing the matter and using Chen Bing's influence as a public figure to force the other party to release him. However, Bai Shuo felt that as a public figure, Chen Bing was currently on the rise of his career and it was inconvenient to expose these matters to the public, but it was more important.

The safety issue that I was worried about before was still the same. With the power of the other party, if they become angry and want to vent their anger, it will be very dangerous for Chen Bing and the others.

Cao An advocated waiting for Jay to return to the treasure island and using his influence to resolve the matter peacefully. However, Bai Shuo believed that it would be inappropriate to put all his hopes on Jay. Jay is still in Gaul and will wait until he returns.

If this matter can be solved, if there is nothing he can do, it will be a waste of time. And Bai Shuo is not sure whether Jay will fully help Chen Bing.

During the discussion, Anna remained silent, just sitting aside coldly, as if it had nothing to do with her. Bai Shuo glanced at Anna's cold face, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, but this idea

It seems that I can't say it in front of Xiao Zhen...

After the discussion failed, Bai Shuo tried to send Xiao Zhen away, but secretly kept Cao An and others. Then he proposed his own idea: go to the treasure island to quietly rescue Chen Bing, or take him away by force. Cao An listened.

After learning the plan, he was extremely excited and wanted to kill him right away. Zhuzi looked more worried: "People over there take both black and white. Didn't we guys fall into the tiger's mouth in the past?"

Bai Shuo said: "Zhuzi, you have forgotten that some of us were also black and white people in Baijia Town at that time. Haha, why do people become less timid as they get older?"

After saying that, he turned to Anna and asked Anna. She had no suggestions for this plan. Anna still said without expression: "If this is the case, the normal way is not possible. You have to use other channels to go there, and it will be the same when you leave."

Bai Shuo thought for a moment and then asked: "Is there anything else you can do?"

Anna said: "Baodao Xingantao has some contact with me. If we take a boat, I can also arrange it."

Bai Shuo was overjoyed and felt that Anna's ability must be more than this, so he continued to ask: "What other resources do you have? Don't hide them. If you don't want me to ask a question, just answer it."

"Then what else do you think you need?"

"Then do you have a way to rescue Chen Bing directly?"

"no way"

Faced with Anna's direct and concise answer, Bai Shuo had no choice but to discuss the details of the action with everyone again. In the end, everyone decided to take a boat from Hong Kong Island to Baodao, and then meet with Xin'an Alliance before discussing how to act.

At that moment, Cao An and Zhu Zhu were going together. Bai Shuo asked everyone to prepare separately. After Nie Dong arrived, they rushed to Hong Kong Island together. At the same time, Bai Shuo also called Liang Ying, telling him his plan and asking him where he was in Hong Kong.

Is there anyone on the island who can provide assistance? Liang Ying thought for a while and gave Bai Shuo a phone call, asking him to call this person named Allen if he needs any help.

The next day, Cao An hurriedly found Bai Shuo and took him to meet someone. Bai Shuo came to the place where Cao An usually worked. Under Cao An's guidance, he saw a thick and dark man from a distance, holding a rice bowl and a big mouth.

Bai Shuo ate his lunch in big mouthfuls. After watching for a while, he saw that the man finished one bowl and then added another.

"Good guy, Fatty, if you recruit a few more of them, your company will be destroyed before it even makes any money." Bai Shuo said jokingly.

"It's nothing to eat too much. You haven't seen how hard he works. He usually only arranges for him to do some errands, but he moves quickly and quickly. One person can hold up to three people. The most important thing is that he is quite capable.

He was beaten. Last month, a group of people came to cause trouble, and he beat up six or seven of them by himself, scaring the group so much that they never dared to harass them again."

Hearing what Cao An said, Bai Shuo became interested and walked straight towards the big guy.

"It's such a big meal. How about it? Are you still satisfied with this meal?"

The man turned around and saw Bai Shuo, then looked at Cao An behind Bai Shuo, and immediately smiled: "Hehe, it's not bad. After finishing this bowl, I will be almost full if I have another bowl."

Cao An laughed: "Stop eating, let's go. I'm going to invite you out for a big dinner. I just have something to discuss with you."

When the man heard that there was a big dinner, he immediately agreed.

In a hot pot restaurant, after eating more than a dozen plates of meat dishes alone, the man finally patted his belly to show that he was full. Then he asked: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Cao, I don't know what you said about doing something big."

What's the matter? As long as I, Old Niu, can help, I'll do it without any hesitation."

It turns out that this man's surname is Niu, and he is the second eldest child in the family, so he is called Niu Er. Niu Er is originally from the Northeast, and worked all the way to Bashu Province. Two months ago, he was recruited by Cao An to do some odd jobs in the company.

"I heard that you are very good at fighting. Are you a Lianjiazi?" Bai Shuo asked.

"There is a temple in the west of our village, and there is an old monk in it. I learned some boxing and kicking skills from him when I was a child. But then the old monk passed away, so I continued to practice according to what the old monk taught me, because I

He has a strong body and has never lost a fight."

Cao An asked directly at this time: "Mr. Bai and I are going to the treasure island to rescue people this time. The other party is a gangster and there may be some dangers. Do you dare to go?"

Niu Eryi thought for a while and said, "Can I still take care of the food every day? Will the company here still pay me a salary?"

This made both Bai Shuo and Cao An laugh. "This thing is indeed very dangerous. You may be injured or even killed. You have to think carefully. No matter how things end up, I will give you 300,000. Just in case... I

It means that if anything happens to you, I will give your family enough money to live on." Bai Shuo said seriously.

Niu Eryi was immediately happy when he heard this: "I'll do what I do, and without so much money, 300,000 yuan can build a big house in my hometown."

"Just take it if it's given to you. Some people think it's too much money. It's true." Cao An said depressedly.

However, Bai Shuo liked Niu Er's honest and honest character. He patted Niu Er's shoulder and said: "If we can come back safely this time, you can follow us in the future. I guarantee that you can marry a wife as soon as possible and live in the house."

Go to the big house."

In the afternoon of that day, Nie Dong also arrived in the capital of Shu. He also brought someone with him, which was Chen Bing's brother and bodyguard Heizi. During this trip to the treasure island, Heizi happened to return to Chang'an to visit his adoptive father.

Such an incident happened. After hearing the news, Heizi immediately became furious and rushed to the treasure island to save people. However, after Nie Dong and Bai Shuo discussed it, they finally persuaded Heizi to come to the capital of Shu together and act in unison. Heizi understood.

After Bai Shuo's plan, he immediately expressed his approval. Although Nie Dong felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be no better way.
