The most popular king in the world

Chapter 200

It was nine o'clock in the evening, the moonlight over Jinghua City faded, the howling wind raged, and large thunderclouds followed the wind. When the wind gradually subsided, the night in Jinghua City was already pitch black.

About a few minutes later, the bean-sized raindrops began to drip, and in an instant, it poured down like a flood that opened the gate. The sky seemed to be poked out by something, and in the blink of an eye Suddenly, the entire capital was shrouded in mist.

On the road leading to the west of Jinghua City, a tall Volt Mengqin was driving at high speed. In such bad weather, Mengqin's car was heading towards its destination at a very high speed.

In the car, Shao Yang held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and with Nuo Ya's assistance, he controlled the giant steel beast under his seat.The range of sight at the moment has become quite poor due to the continuous falling of the torrential rain. If it were not for Nuoya's assistance, Shao Yang would not dare to increase the speed of the car to the current level.

"Nuoya, how far is it to the destination?" Shao Yang tapped the brakes under Nuoya's prompt, turned the steering wheel to avoid the debris on the road that was blown into the middle of the road by the strong wind, and asked anxiously road.

"There are still 28.3 kilometers left. At the current speed, it will take about 20 minutes to drive. Speed ​​up, the road conditions are good within two kilometers ahead, and there are no vehicles." Nuoya answered Shao Yang's question while broadcasting real-time traffic information. question.

"Okay!" Shao Yang answered simply, stepped on the accelerator pedal, and the speed of Meng Qin's car obviously went up to a new level.

On the other side, the rescue team led by Tao Dong has arrived at the meeting place near Hou's house in the Xishan villa area. The five people came in a seven-seater commercial vehicle. A row of consoles was added to the window, and the seats were moved to the other side and placed horizontally.

After arriving at the scheduled meeting place, Tao Dong broadcast a number and got in touch with the support team sent by Liu Yikai.

The phone was connected, and a cold voice came from the receiver: "Hi Captain Tao, Wang Ke of the Sharp Knife Special Forces, has been ordered to lead a team to report to you that all 45 members of our team have arrived at the designated positions according to the combat plan. Please instruct!"

On the way before coming here, Tao Dong had already got in touch with the sharp knife man, and the battle plan formulated by Xiao Hai had also been passed on to the other party. "Captain Wang, the battle plan is still the same. Please send four elite members to join us and sneak into Hou's house to rescue the target. The rest of the members are under your command and are on standby outside to deal with emergencies at any time."

"Yes!" Wang Ke on the other end of the phone responded loudly, and then hung up the phone.

In the car, Tao Dong, who was sitting on the co-pilot seat, put away the phone, turned his head and made arrangements for his teammates in the car: "Xiao Hai, connect to the communication channel with the sharp knife, test whether the signal is clear, and ensure the smooth communication. "

"Yes, captain." Xiao Hai received the instruction, and immediately operated the laptop at hand, and saw his two hands typing on the keyboard rapidly, almost bringing out afterimages.

"Qin Lei, help Xiao Hai fix the surveillance system of the Hou family, and ensure that after we rescue Mr. Yu, we can retreat smoothly." Tao Dong looked at the female teammate in the driver's seat and gave instructions on the division of labor.

This girl Qin Lei is an all-around player. In addition to being proficient in driving and close combat, she is also an expert in infiltrating the enemy's rear. What's more rare is that she herself is a medical student, and her surgical skills are superb. Apart from these, she is also The experts in information and communication technology in the team can help Xiao Hai with many things on weekdays.

"Understood!" Although Qin Lei was naturally jumpy, she was quite reliable when performing tasks.

Tao Dong nodded, and then said to the remaining Huang Chao and Hu Weidong: "The three of us will cooperate with the four comrades from the sharp knife to sneak into Hou's house to rescue Mr. Yu."

Huang Chao nodded to express his understanding, but Hu Weidong didn't speak, just fiddled with the folding saber in his hand.Although these two people usually quarrel and disagree with each other, they are the best partners when they act. The tacit understanding cultivated in the test of life and death over the years allows the two to understand each other's intentions just by communicating with each other. intention.

After the task was assigned, Tao Dong said solemnly: "Everyone must keep in mind that the primary purpose of this operation is to rescue Mr. Yu. The four comrades who cooperated with us in sneaking in to rescue will only hide and deal with sudden accidents. Try not to expose your own existence. We are the main force in the rescue operation, and the request from the superior is to try not to expose the official strength."

"Why is it so complicated? Isn't this a disguised way to increase the difficulty of the rescue mission?" Qin Lei was obviously quite puzzled by such an order, so she opened her mouth to complain.Of course, as a former member of the disciplined forces, Qin Lei also understands that an order is an order, and there is no need to be questioned, only to be carried out.

Tao Dong glanced at Qin Lei and didn't say anything else. Why didn't he think so in his heart, but as the captain, he couldn't express his thoughts.And Tao Dong also knew that Qin Lei was just complaining unintentionally, and she must know better than anyone else what to do when she takes action.

"Okay, check the time now, get out of the car and join the comrades with sharp knives, and get ready for action." Tao Dong raised his watch, checked the time with a few teammates, and tested the communication equipment before opening the car door, and Huang Chao and Hu Weidong braved the wind and rain and stepped into the darkness.

At the same time, the taxi that Tang Xi took also arrived in front of Hou's house smoothly.After paying the fare, Tang Xi got out of the car with the luggage in his hand, and ran to the eaves of Hou's gate against the rain.

In the current stormy situation, thanks to the Chinese design of the Hou family's house, the main entrance of the compound has a gatehouse and eaves to shelter from the rain, otherwise Tang Xi would be completely embarrassed by the rain.Even so, just the few steps from the car to the gatehouse alone made Tang Xi quite miserable.

In the concierge of the Hou family, there are full-time security personnel. Some of these people are veterans recruited by the Hou family, and some are professionals hired from security companies.Compared with ordinary security guards, these people's professionalism is more rigorous.Even in such bad weather, after Tang Xi pressed the doorbell, someone opened the small door next to the gate building immediately.

"Miss Tang, please follow me. Mr. Hou has already returned and is waiting for you in the study." The security personnel had already been notified that Tang Xi would come over tonight, so after opening the door, they reached out and took the luggage from Tang Xi's hand. By the way, hand the umbrella in your hand to the other party.

After entering the door, Tang Xi opened his umbrella, followed behind the security personnel, and walked quickly towards Hou Longshan's study.

In the study, Hou Longshan was at his desk revising a speech. As a confidential secretary next to an important leader, it was difficult for him to go home at this time.It's just that after receiving a foreign guest today, the leader felt tired and slightly unwell, so he canceled the subsequent arrangements and returned home early to rest, which also allowed Hou Longshan to be liberated in advance.

The speech draft in his hand is for the leader to inspect a large state-owned enterprise tomorrow morning. After the people below handed it over, Hou Longshan did a preliminary review and found that some parts were not suitable, so he started writing to make revisions.

Although it was raining heavily outside the house, there was silence in the study room, only the 'rustling' sound of the pen in Hou Longshan's hand writing on the paper.

Just when Hou Longshan finished correcting the last sentence, someone knocked on the door of the study room. Hou Longshan turned his head to look at the antique clock on the desk, and knew that it was probably Tang Xi who had arrived. After he said 'come in', The door was pushed open from the outside.

"Mr. Hou, Miss Tang Xi is here." After the security guard opened the door and announced, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Xi.Tang Xi nodded his thanks to the other party, and then walked into the door.

Hou Longshan, who was behind the desk, saw Tang Xi enter the door, turned his face to look at the weather outside through the window, and then said to the person at the door: "Let the kitchen make a bowl of ginger soup, and then send a towel to Miss Tang. .”

"Yes." The security guard at the door responded, then closed the door and turned to leave.

"Uncle Hou." Tang Xi stepped up to the desk and greeted Hou Longshan timidly.This name was decided by Tang Xi when he was still in school, and Tang Xi has been calling it that way for so many years without changing it.

Hou Longshan looked at Tang Xi in front of him, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and after staring at Tang Xi thoughtfully for a while, he raised his finger and pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sit down first. Wipe it off with a towel and drink some ginger soup, the weather is really good, it hasn't rained so much in Jinghua City for a long time."

"It's really raining heavily. The drivers on the way here are afraid to drive fast. The roads in many places are flooded." Tang Xi followed Hou Longshan's words.

"It's really hard for you to come all the way here." When Hou Longshan was speaking, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the desk and lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of smoke.

Tang Xi shook his head and replied: "Uncle Hou, you are too polite. It's not hard work. Now that the traffic is so developed, it's very convenient to come to Jinghua City from Hengdian."

"That's right! The traffic here is developed and travel is convenient, but people's hearts have become far away, don't you think so?" Hou Longshan suddenly said such a sentence, which made Tang Xi feel a little at a loss. He didn't understand why the other party suddenly said such topics.

Tang Xi didn't dare to answer the words abruptly, so he could only cater to the other party with a smirk: "What Uncle Hou said is true."

"Xiaoxi, we've known each other for more than ten years, do you think I'm sorry for you?" Hou Longshan stretched out his hand to flick the ashtray, but suddenly such a sentence came out of his mouth.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat. She was an intelligent woman, and she immediately realized that since Hou Longshan asked such a question, the other party must have noticed something.

With a strong smile, Tang Xi didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately replied: "How could it be? If it weren't for Uncle Hou's help, I might not know what I would be like now. Uncle Hou is so kind to me that Xiao Xi would be crushed to pieces." In case of repayment, how could you be sorry for me."

Hou Longshan seemed very satisfied with Tang Xi's answer, nodded and said "oh" softly, but the sharp gaze in his two eyes was fixed on Tang Xi's face for a long time.

It wasn't until Tang Xi felt a little restless that Hou Longshan asked coldly, "Since you also said that I have nothing to do to you, why do you still want people to spread news in Yixin, saying that Mr. Yu An accident happened, and the entire Yixin panicked, and the company's top management was also in turmoil?"

Hou Longshan's voice was not loud, but in Tang Xi's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.At this moment, there was only one thought in Tang Xi's mind, 'It's broken! '

In the sky, a flash of bright lightning flashed across the pitch-black night sky, and a few seconds later, there was a clatter of thunder, which shocked Tang Xi into a fright.

Just when Tang Xi was anxiously considering the countermeasures, someone knocked on the door of the study room again. An old woman in her 60s pushed the door open with a bowl of ginger soup without waiting for the people in the room to speak. In, with a towel in hand.

"Longshan, the ginger soup and towels you want are ready." The fourth sister has worked in Hou's family for more than 30 years, and she is now in her 60s. She is considered an old man who watched Hou Longshan grow up.

Hou Longshan did not continue to persecute Tang Xi, but smiled and said to the woman who entered the door: "Why did you send it yourself, fourth sister? It's raining so hard outside, so let others do these things. Xiao Tang, hurry up Take it."

Tang Xi got up quickly when she heard the words, and took the ginger soup and towel from the old man. However, during the whole process, her mind was still running fast, thinking about how she would reply Hou Longshan.

Right now, it seems that Yixin still has the secrets of the Hou family inside, and the actions she thought to be secret have not been hidden from Hou Longshan's eyes. If she makes a mistake this time, she will probably pay a heavy price for it.

The fourth sister is old and qualified. After passing the things in her hand to Tang Xi, she still babbled and said: "Girl, drink the ginger soup while it's hot. The weather is really bad. If you say you are crazy, you will go crazy." .Drink ginger soup and dry your head later, don’t catch a cold again.”

"Okay, thank you." Tang Xi replied subconsciously.

"Okay, Fourth Sister, go and rest, I still have something to talk about with Miss Tang." Hou Longshan was not easy to push, after all, Fourth Sister was also half of the family, and he was naughty when he was a child, but it was not bad Being reprimanded by the fourth sister, so naturally this air can't be put up.

"Hey, why don't you rest, I have to ask someone to cook a bowl of ginger soup for the third child later, this kid rushed in the door, I called him twice but he didn't hear, the one in the west wing is the one who is so anxious By the way, Longshan, what kind of guests are living in the west wing? Have you lived in our house for more than ten days? Fengying usually doesn't let me go." The fourth sister said casually, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. After saying a word, Hou Longshan was stunned when he heard it.

"The third one is back?" Hou Longshan frowned and asked subconsciously, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

The fourth sister cast a glance at Hou Longshan, and replied: "Isn't that right? As soon as I entered the door, I headed towards the west chamber. The third child has always had a frizzy temper since he was a child. Longshan, send someone over to take a look. I'll go." Order someone to cook ginger soup."

After finishing speaking, the fourth sister turned around and walked out of the study.After walking into the corridor and closing the door of the study, the fourth sister raised her eyes to look at the dark night sky. The torrential rain in front of her was still pouring down, and she had no intention of turning it down at all.

"Hey! What a crime!" Sighed, the fourth sister walked towards the kitchen.

She has worked in the Hou family for more than 30 years, and she is responsible for many things inside and out. How could the fourth sister not know who lives in the west wing?It's just that due to her status, she can't do more.

As for Hou Longbo's thoughts, and that part of the public case back then, Fourth Sister is also well aware of it.Now that the old man saw Hou Longbo rushing back to Jinghua in this heavy rain, he went straight to the west wing after entering the door. With her experience, how could she not know what was going to happen?
But although she has old qualifications, she is a servant after all, and Hou Longbo is no longer the child who was under her control when she was young.The fourth sister thought that she couldn't do more, so she could only take the opportunity of giving ginger soup to pass the information to Hou Longshan's ears, hoping that Hou Longshan could stand up in time and stop the evil deeds of the third son Hou Longbo.

"Uncle Hou, I..."

After the fourth sister left, Tang Xi just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by Hou Longshan.

"I'll talk about your business later, and now I have more important things to do." Standing up from behind the desk, Hou Longshan walked quickly to the door, not forgetting to order: "You wait here first, I'll go to the West Wing to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Hou Longshan hurriedly opened the door and left without waiting for Tang Xi to speak. Because of his haste, he even forgot to close the door.Tang Xi seldom saw Hou Longshan lose his composure like this, it seems that something serious must have happened.

Holding the steaming ginger soup in his hand, Tang Xi took two sips when a thought suddenly popped up.She remembered what the fourth sister had said before. She lived in Hou's house for more than ten days. Lin Fengying would not let others approach her on weekdays. Hou Longbo hurried to the West Wing after entering the door. After Hou Longshan got the news, he was in chaos.

After this series of clues were connected in series, Tang Xi suddenly thought of a possibility - Mr. Yu is in trouble!
With a 'click' sound, the soup bowl in Tang Xi's hand fell to the ground, and the steaming ginger soup scattered and flowed on the floor, splashing everywhere.Where can Tang Xi stay?Pursing the corners of his mouth forcefully, Tang Xi seemed to have made some decision, followed by walking out, and disappeared in the cold wind and rain in the blink of an eye.

　I wish you all a happy Tanabata!
