Li Xiulan
In the blink of an eye it was the next morning; dawn had just broken when the farm's roosters crowed and woke Wang Erhai.
Wang Erhai got up to brush his teeth and wash his face, planning to patrol the orchard once and then head for the county town; he would eat breakfast there since he couldn't be bothered to cook himself.
As for that shareholders' meeting at Liguo Mountain, it wouldn't start until nine o'clock — still early — so having breakfast in the county town first and then going over would be fine.
As for this outfit of his.
Forget it, no need to change.
He'd just wear his usual clothes.
Anyway, he was no longer a company executive, so why bother paying attention to such things?
Whatever's comfortable is fine!
However, right at this moment!
A black minivan came speeding over.
"Woof woof woof!"
It drew the attention of the farm's three dogs.
Wang Erhai looked up and saw the vehicle stop at the farm gate; Huo Zhi Hui stepped out with several strangers.
Wang Erhai's brows furrowed slightly; the sky wasn't even fully bright yet, and Huo Zhi Hui had already brought people over — clearly nothing good!
Sure enough, Huo Zhi Hui strode straight up to Wang Erhai, waved a hand, and the men he'd brought immediately surrounded Wang Erhai in a tight circle!
"General Manager Wang, come with me for a trip!"
Huo Zhi Hui's tone was cold.
Originally Huo Guoqiang had wanted him to intercept Wang Erhai halfway, but he felt uneasy about that — what if Wang Erhai didn't take that road? Or what if someone else saw them halfway?
Better to come directly to this farm, seize control of Wang Erhai; that was more secure.
"Go where?"
Wang Erhai asked in a low voice.
"Wherever you want to go is fine; anyway, just don't go to Liguo Mountain today." Huo Zhi Hui's lips curled slightly, his face grim, but his words were still fairly polite.
Only then did Wang Erhai suddenly realize — Huo Zhi Hui had come to stop him from attending that shareholders' meeting.
So he asked:
"Is this your idea, or your Second Uncle Huo Guoqiang's?"
Huo Zhi Hui replied:
"My second uncle is not only indecisive but also sentimental about old ties — how could he make such a decision? So of course it's my own idea! I set out before he even woke up, which gave me this opportunity! General Manager Wang, I'm laying it out straight today! You — are not going to Liguo Mountain to hold that shareholders' meeting!"
Wang Erhai, however, said:
"But what if I insist on going?"
Huo Zhi Hui said:
"Then I'll just beat you up and tie you away to lock you up!"
Wang Erhai laughed helplessly:
"Huo Zhi Hui, do you know this is illegal?"
Huo Zhi Hui countered:
"Of course I know, but compared to losing Liguo Mountain, what's a little lawbreaking? General Manager Wang, I'm being courteous before forceful — give me a clear answer: are you coming with me or not?"
Wang Erhai frowned; he knew Huo Zhi Hui wasn't just bluffing — if he really resisted, Huo Zhi Hui might actually beat him!
And he'd likely find it hard to escape Huo Zhi Hui's palm, after all Huo Zhi Hui had brought so many people.
But the promise he'd made to Zhang Sheng — he couldn't not do it!
What to do now?
"Fine, I'll go with you, but you have to let me go back and change clothes first!"
Wang Erhai wanted to find an excuse to return to the house, then look for a chance to escape.
However, what kind of clever person was Huo Zhi Hui?
You should know that back then Liang Xinghua was nearly sent to prison because Huo Zhi Hui set a beauty trap for him.
"Change what clothes? You don't need to attend any meeting!"
Wang Erhai had just turned around when Huo Zhi Hui shouted him down.
Wang Erhai froze:
"These are my farm-work clothes; normally when going out I'd change into something cleaner."
Huo Zhi Hui said:
"Don't play slippery with me — get in the car now; whatever clothes you want, I'll buy them for you for free!"
Wang Erhai gave a dry laugh:
"If I want a designer suit, you'll buy that too?"
Huo Zhi Hui said:
"Of course! Even if you want designer clothes costing ten thousand yuan a piece, I'll buy them! Hurry up and get in, less nonsense!"
Seeing this tactic fail, Wang Erhai could only pretend to nod agreement:
"Okay okay okay, I'll get in right now."
Then he made a move to walk towards the minivan.
But just as he took two steps, he suddenly exerted force with his feet and unexpectedly rushed back!
Catch off guard, attack unprepared!
Those people Huo Zhi Hui brought, completely didn't expect, Wang Erhai would actually pull this kind of move!
As a result, Wang Erhai really broke out of the encirclement!
"Chase! What are you standing there dazed for!"
Huo Zhi Hui jumped in anxiety.
Those people he hired at high price, only then hurriedly chased after.
Watching as Wang Erhai was about to be caught up!
Right at this moment!
"Woof woof woof!"
The three dogs raised at the farm, suddenly pounced over, blocking those people's path!
Those people were scared a jump, dared not lightly step forward!
After all, these three dogs before them, bared teeth, bristled fur, ferocious!
Being bitten, not pleasant!
With this startle, Wang Erhai shook them off, ran into the mountain.
"Grab sticks to drive away dogs, hurry chase!"
Huo Zhi Hui jumped in anxiety.
He picked up a stick from the side, waved it at the dogs before him.
Those three dogs received several sticks, only then hurriedly retreated.
Huo Zhi Hui led the charge, bringing several henchmen, chased into the mountain!
Wang Erhai passed through the Shatangju Orchard halfway up the mountain, entered into the mountain.
This wilderness, not even a single path!
But Wang Erhai in childhood often played in the mountain, and also with Wang Xiaohua came to this mountain dug Poria.
So he regarding mountain situation, definitely much clearer than Huo Zhi Hui them!
Relying on familiarity with mountain terrain, he quickly shook off Huo Zhi Hui them!
From the other side of the mountain, detoured a small path down the mountain.
Arrived at another village.
Then here, borrowed a motorcycle, rushed towards the town.
As for Huo Zhi Hui, he bringing several henchmen in the mountain searched for a good while, all didn't find Wang Erhai, only then realized, things turn bad.
Hurriedly withdrew from the mountain, prepared to turn back to town, at the town street entrance that side intercept.
Because from Shangou Village to County Town, the town street entrance that segment of road, is must-pass road.
Only pity, everything already too late.
At this time Wang Erhai, already riding borrowed motorcycle, arrived at town, at town this side, placed motorcycle at a pesticide and fertilizer store entrance, then took minivan to County Town.
On the road, Wang Erhai holding mobile phone, at this moment, in his heart thinking, whether to report to police?
Huo Zhi Hui this behavior, very obviously illegal!
Belongs to kidnapping attempt!
But thinking, Huo Guoqiang treated him still fairly okay.
And this time was Huo Zhi Hui own initiative, not Huo Guoqiang's meaning.
If report to police, then he and Huo Guoqiang between friendship, afraid will end.
And just yesterday, Huo Guoqiang still full face sincerely to him said, no matter what, hope both sides maintain friendly relationship.
Think of this, Wang Erhai ultimately still didn't report to police.
And at this time.
Liguo Mountain's conference room, shareholders' meeting, about to begin.
