Chapter 241: Meeting Niu Ju

Bank Manager hurriedly held the cup and said: "All right, Chairman Zhao, it's an honor to drink with you."

Bank Manager, don't be polite, since everyone has laid things out, we're family.

After I finished speaking, I poured wine into Bank Manager's cup.

After pouring the wine, I lifted my wine cup.

"Bank Manager, bottoms up."

Bank Manager didn't even think, lifted his cup, and drained the wine.

After watching Bank Manager finish drinking, I took out a cigarette and handed it to Bank Manager,

"Have a cigarette."

Bank Manager took it, lit it, and started smoking.

I also took two puffs, then smiled and said to Bank Manager: "Bank Manager, you've been tired all day, you should rest a bit."

Bank Manager, just said: "I'm not tired...."

Then his body swayed and he fell to the ground.

I shouted to Xiao Long: "Hurry and take Bank Manager to the bed. When Niu Ju arrives, it won't be convenient for him to be here."

Xiao Long lifted Bank Manager and threw him onto the bedroom bed.

Then Xiao Long asked me: "Grandpa, what kind of wine is this, that one cup gets you so drunk?"

I laughed,

"Xiao Long, let's eat first; when Niu Ju comes, we won't have time to eat."

Xiao Long sat at the table and started eating.

"This thing is called Confusing Fragrance; a little bit can make people dizzy. Just now, while Bank Manager wasn't paying attention, I put a bit into his wine cup,

so after he drank a cup, he immediately passed out. I mainly considered that when we meet Niu Ju, it would be inconvenient for him to be present, and also this Bank Manager, lest he pull some trick and call for help, which would be troublesome."

I took out that Confusing Fragrance from my pocket and showed it to Xiao Long.

Xiao Long took it and looked at it,

"Is this thing really that miraculous? To me it looks like coarse salt."

After saying that, he leaned in and smelled it,

"Really fragrant."

"Don't smell it too much; smelling too much makes you dizzy easily. This thing is very powerful; back then I used it to build a career." I said.

"Using it to build a career, Grandpa, I don't understand." Xiao Long asked.

"When we have time, I'll tell you those past events in detail. Let's drink." I lifted my wine cup.

Xiao Long lifted his water cup,

I clinked cups with Xiao Long, then took a big gulp of wine.

The wine in this hotel is good, entering the mouth very mellow, the aftertaste sweet.

After putting down the cup, I took big bites of the dishes.

After Xiao Long and I had eaten and drunk our fill,

I took out a cigarette and tossed it to Xiao Long,

Xiao Long caught it, then

"Grandpa, having followed you, I've learned both smoking and drinking."

I laughed,

"That's how it should be; otherwise a man's life without cigarettes and alcohol has no meaning. Xiao Long, when Niu Ju comes, you must first confiscate whatever he has in his pockets; otherwise, if he holds that thing, it will be very disadvantageous for us." I said seriously.

Xiao Long said: "I know, Grandpa, rest assured; as soon as he enters the room, I'll immediately confiscate his belongings. Then I'll tie him up with rope."

I shook my head,

"No need to tie him; as soon as he knows it's me, he'll immediately lose spirit. Because I've had plastic surgery, at first glance he won't recognize me. To deal with him, we need to put in more effort."

"Grandpa, should we subdue Niu Ju like we did with Bank Manager?" Xiao Long asked.

"Niu Ju is different from Bank Manager; I don't want to subdue him, just cooperate with him. Bank Manager isn't necessarily truly subdued by us either. He's only temporarily doing this to survive.

Once he recovers later, he'll still be the same old bear. We need to frequently pressure him until he's completely convinced." My words had just fallen when I heard knocking on the door outside the room.

I hurriedly signaled Xiao Long to hide behind the door, waiting for Niu Ju to enter,

then have Xiao Long first confiscate whatever he's holding in his hand.

At this moment I walked to the door at a leisurely pace.

At that moment outside the door, Niu Ju had already shouted loudly,

"Old Gu, open the door, I'm here."

I walked to the doorway,

then twisted the doorknob hard,

turned around with my back to Niu Ju.

Niu Ju pushed the door open and slipped into the room,

Niu Ju happily said: "Old Gu, look, I brought this time genuine imported blue little pills."

At that moment Xiao Long backhandedly closed the door,

then quickly reached from behind Niu Ju to his waist,

with a stretch of the hand, took off whatever was in Niu Ju's waist.

Niu Ju was very alert, immediately turned back,

"Old Gu, this kind of joke isn't funny. Give it back quickly."

But Niu Ju, upon seeing it was Xiao Long,

His face changed color instantly,

"Xiao Long, what are you doing here, what do you want to do. Quickly return my stuff to me."

Xiao Long ignored Niu Ju's words,

Then he pointed at my back and said: "Niu Ju, someone wants to see you. Wait a moment, then I'll return it to you."

"Who wants to see me. Where is Old Gu?" Niu Ju shouted loudly.

"I." I said in Mandarin.

Niu Ju heard this voice and was stunned for a moment,

Then he carefully looked at my back,

He seemed a bit dazed.

"Are you... that... that... Zhou, Mr. Zhou?" Niu Ju looked at Xiao Long, then looked at me,

His heart was full of doubt; could this Xiao Long also know Zhou Fuhai?

Niu Ju didn't shout loudly anymore,

I turned around at this time,

My eyes stared straight at Niu Ju,

Niu Ju raised his head to look at me,

After a while, Niu Ju finally let out an 'ah' sound,

"Ah, how are you here, who exactly are you."

Seeing Niu Ju's nervous appearance,

I laughed hahaha, speaking in Lanling dialect: "Niu Ju, don't be so nervous, we are all old friends of many years."

"You won't even fail to recognize me, right?"

Hearing me speak with a Lanling accent,

Niu Ju's expression was changing rapidly,

At this moment, Niu Ju's heart was surely in turmoil.

But Niu Ju suddenly walked forward, threw a punch, then cried: "Zhao Jianqiang, Zhao Jianqiang, I've searched hard for you, my good brother, I've dreamed of seeing you."

I never expected you would be hiding here with the Bank Manager.

Or Old Gu is loyal enough; such important news, he didn't leak a bit.

Seeing Niu Ju's performance, it's really wonderful.

I clapped my hands,

I said: "Niu Ju, no need for crocodile tears. Old Gu is sleeping in that room; do you want me to play the recording of Old Gu for you to listen?"

Niu Ju poked his head to look into the bedroom, and indeed the Bank Manager was lying on the bed there.

"How is the Bank Manager, Zhao Jianqiang, you can't do illegal things, otherwise I can't speak up for you."

"Niu Ju, I really damn admire you, at this point you can still pretend, you can still act. If you keep acting like this, it'll be meaningless." I said to Niu Ju.

"Zhao Jianqiang, what do you mean? Are you trying to get revenge on me? Humph, come on, if I, surnamed Niu, utter a single 'ah', then I'm not really a Niu."

After saying that, Niu Ju tore open his own shirt, revealing his white chest.

At this moment I suddenly took out a dagger from my sleeve,

"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill you; anyway killing one is death, killing two, I damn well profit."

I said coldly.

I raised the dagger in my hand,

Getting ready to stab toward Niu Ju's chest.

Seeing that I would really act,

Niu Ju's eyes were darting rapidly,

I could clearly see Niu Ju's face trembling; he had already seen the unconscious Bank Manager hiding on the bed.

Perhaps he thought I really killed the Bank Manager.

I really was about to act against him.

He stepped back.

Xiao Long was already blocking the doorway.

Niu Ju now had no way to retreat.
