Chapter 343: Hearty drinking

Oh, it's like that. For safety's sake, the other side just sent a new order; I can't explain these in detail over the phone, so I'll tell you myself. Look, this is a fax I received today.

After saying that, Bo Er mysteriously took out a fax from his bag and placed it in front of them.

They merely glanced at it, then afterwards put the fax back into his hands.

I understand. It seems they can't wait any longer; it's fine, all this is still under our control, so there shouldn't be too much deviation.

Exactly, that's what we mean, so you must be careful; remember, don't let him see any flaws, got it?

Okay, I got it. By the way, did he say when exactly?

Roughly, they should arrive here the day after tomorrow afternoon, but they won't come from the airport; they'll likely take the dock route.

The dock? Heh, these folks really don't take the usual route; normally they'd definitely come from the airport, but unexpectedly they're taking the waterway.

Exactly, the situation is tense now, and we absolutely must not let Zong Long or Xiao Ming discover anything, so we can only resort to an inferior plan.

Alright, I got it. I'll be at the dock promptly at six p. m. the day after tomorrow; when we meet, we'll discuss the details further, and for these two days you should stay put.

Okay, I understand. You also be careful; if anything happens, we'll contact each other through special means.

The two of them briefly exchanged instructions here, then hurriedly got up and went their separate ways.

After they left, Xiao Ming finally rose from the darkness, and indeed he had heard their conversation very clearly.

Moreover, it's obvious that not only Zong Long was deceived; even I have already fallen into this dark scheme.

What on earth is going on? He had always felt everything was under his control, but in an instant it seemed the whole sequence had completely reversed.

Things certainly aren't as simple as he thought; moreover, if his guess is correct, he should have entered a situation within a situation.

He still felt some pressure in his heart.

If that's the case, then if he continues with his plan, he'll likely end up dying worse than anyone.

Therefore, in this situation, without yet understanding the other side's true purpose, he must hold his forces and absolutely not rush this matter.

He now feels some regret, wondering why he hastily acquired Xing Ya Company; if he hadn't, perhaps they wouldn't have this plot today,

It's just a pity that he's somewhat distant from Tang Mu and Bo Er, and he also can't know their true thoughts.

However, he has simply concluded that Bo Er is problematic, and that Tang Mu also undoubtedly has considerable background.

Xiao Ming knew he couldn't stay here any longer, so he turned into a wisp and vanished directly into the darkness.

At this moment, Xiao Yunzhe and Zong Mengni were in a farmhouse in the suburbs.

Because it's not a holiday right now, there aren't many visitors here.

They were in a private room at the far corner; although the room isn't large, it's more than enough for the two of them.

On the table, besides the leftover rice, many beer bottles were placed.

Tonight, the two of them drank heartily here, indeed consuming a lot of alcohol.

Zong Mengni, after all, is a woman, so her drinking capacity is still somewhat inferior to Xiao Yunzhe's.

But because she drank, Zong Mengni's cheeks turned flushed, and under the lighting she truly looked very charming.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Zong Mengni unintentionally glanced up and seemed to think Xiao Yunzhe had been staring at her face; she even thought something was stuck on her face or that she hadn't wiped it clean.

So she hastily lowered her head, then took out a mirror from her pocket, checked it, and seemed to find nothing amiss.

"Heh? Nothing, I was just looking at you; tonight you really seem to have drunk quite a bit?"

"Yeah, to be honest, I haven't drunk this much in ages; don't you know I've been under tremendous pressure lately?"

"I know all that, after all I came in with you; besides, I also know what's on your mind—that kind of agonizing indecision, right?"

"That's right; I'm torn between my father and my conscience—I don't know if I can live up to my conscience, live up to my father—and I've never been able to get past this."

"Don't overthink it; everything is proceeding step by step, and you just need to do your part—nothing else matters, got it?"

"But but I finally know that if I don't do these things, I'll really remain in the dark all the time; you say all this still makes me conflicted, I'm sorry, Dad."

"This has already happened, so you can't keep thinking like that; you, you okay?"

Xiao Ming, while speaking, saw that Zong Mengni seemed to have even started swaying in her seat.

"No, I, I'm fine."

"Otherwise, I'll still send you back."

"Go back? Where would I go? Fine, send me back to the factory."

"What? Go back to the factory? At this late hour, with no one around, you're going back to the factory now?"

"Exactly, back to the factory; let's go—I don't want to go home."

"All right, don't rush; I'll take you back right away."

Xiao Ming, while speaking, stood up and then pulled Zong Mengni up from her seat.
