Chapter 446: Meeting Chu Ze
"Fu" Ji Tea Restaurant.
Hong Kong people love morning tea, so Lu Xiyan follows the local customs and comes out to have morning tea and can meet Tan Si by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
"Boss, come a bowl of wonton noodles and a basket of shrimp dumplings."
"Okay, Mr. Lu wait." The War of Resistance broke out, and many people in China fled to Hong Kong. People with accents everywhere were used to it. It's no wonder that they were used to it.
Wherever the Chinese go, they have the strongest ability to survive and integrate.
In just two or three days, Lu Xiyan met several friends. Of course, he just nodded. Everyone was Chinese and knew that he was a medical student, so he respected him very much.
In this era of chaos, doctors are a popular profession.
Halfway through the meal, Tan Si came up from the stairs.
"Boss, let's have a dry fried beef river, a rice noodles, a winter melon and rib soup, and a bowl of seafood porridge." Tan Si sat down next to Lu Xiyan.
"Can you eat so much?" Lu Xiyan picked up a shrimp dumpling with chopsticks and put them into his mouth.
"Sir, I just came back from Hong Kong Island. I was so hungry that I was touching my back." Tan Si smiled.
"What did Chu Ze say?"
"Because you live in Kowloon, he settled his home in Hong Kong Island, so he will come to Lianxianglou to invite you to dinner tomorrow night." Tan Si said.
"Well, you can accompany me then."
"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Tan Si asked in surprise.
"What's wrong with me? Are there anything shameful when I meet Chu Ze?" Lu Xiyan said, "Besides, Dai Yunong also knows that Chu Ze is in Hong Kong. With my relationship with the military advisor, Chu Ze asked me for a date."
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Tan Si nodded, "Also, I've also found out the situation at No. 5 Kowloon Road you mentioned. The house was purchased by a banker from the mainland, but it was not the owner of the house himself. It was a surname Zhou. He lived in it with his wife and children. It seemed that he was from Zhou Shihai?"
"Zhou Fuhai?"
"Yes, just call this name, sir, do you already know?"
"I was also when I went out, I passed by the door of the family and saw someone coming out from inside and heard it." Lu Xiyan explained casually.
"This Zhou Fuhai seems to be living in a quiet place on weekdays, but he sees his wife coming in and out a lot. He has a son who studies in Lingnan Middle School and is said to have excellent grades. I have found out about these things at this moment." Tan Si asked for the dishes, and he said while eating.
"Don't investigate Zhou Fuhai's affairs anymore. I'll just find out." Lu Xiyan ordered, "Stop letting the Military Control Commission misunderstand."
"good."
"Brothers, come to Hong Kong with me. I can't even have a reunion dinner during the New Year. How did you prepare the New Year's Eve dinner?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Don't worry, you can have enough chicken, duck, fish and meat, and wine, and you won't treat the brothers below unfairly." Tan Si said.
"That's good. I'll finish eating, you can pay the bill yourself." Lu Xiyan stood up after eating the last shrimp dumpling, took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
A morning tea doesn’t cost much, so people can’t tell whether he has a relationship with Tan Si, as that would be bad.
...
After morning tea, I walked and ate the food, and returned home, it was almost ten o'clock.
"Why have you been there for so long?" Meng Fanxing asked.
"I met an acquaintance and said a few words." Lu Xiyan said.
"Acquaintance, do you still have an acquaintance in Hong Kong?" Meng Fanxing was a little surprised.
"Tan Si, he came to Hong Kong and met him at the place where he had morning tea. He came for Sun Yanan." Lu Xiyan explained, "I will treat me to dinner tomorrow night."
"Did you agree?"
"Can I not agree? Tan Si came here just to protect me. We must not accept this love." Lu Xiyan said.
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, he will send a car to pick me up then. You can go with me, and there is something you can't say." Lu Xiyan shook his head.
"Then you be careful."
"I know." Lu Xiyan nodded and went upstairs to get his paper.
The next day, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, at around 5:30 pm, Tan Si drove over to pick Lu Xiyan up to Lianxianglou in person.
"My sirs, do you have any reservations?" the waiter came up and asked politely.
"The third floor, VIP private room, Mr. Chu." Tan Sidao.
"Okay, please follow me."
After all, it is an old-fashioned restaurant with antique decorations and quiet and elegant. No wonder the business is good and the service attitude is extraordinary.
Chu Ze had already arrived first. When he saw Lu Xiyan and Tan Si coming in, he came up happily: "Sir, Fourth Brother, you are here, please sit down."
"Chu Ze, okay, I've gained a lot of weight. It seems that the water and soil of Xiangjiang are nourishing people." Lu Xiyan gently punched Chu Ze, and then gave him a warm hug, "Thank you for your hard work."
"I don't need to worry here. I eat well and sleep soundly, and of course I have grown fat." Chu Ze laughed, and his whole body was much cheerful than when he was in Shanghai.
"Ha ha……"
"Sir, let's sit down and talk." Chu Ze hurriedly greeted.
"Sir, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in this restaurant is very famous. I made a reservation in advance. You must try it later."
"Buddha jumped over the wall, Chu Ze, you are not authentic. When I first arrived in Hong Kong, you invited me to a basket of char siu buns." Tan Si said dissatisfied.
"You are just a rough man who is good at playing with guns, and you can eat well or badly. The sir is a tasteful person, and he is different from you." Chu Ze smiled.
"Hmph!" Tan Si snorted coldly. He knew that Chu Ze didn't like him, but it was because of his personality.
"Okay, fourth brother, Chu Ze is just joking with you. Didn't he treat you to eat today?" Lu Xiyan smiled and smoothed out the situation.
"I'm benefiting from the teacher and have nothing to do with him." Tan Si snorted coldly, not grateful.
"Tan Si, I invited the gentleman to dinner tonight, but I didn't invite you. Why are you here to do it with a stern face?"
"It was the gentleman who asked me to accompany him."
"Anyway, I didn't invite you. I want to eat, so I pay for it myself!"
"I won't pay any money, I'll definitely get you."
...
"Are you two going to slap each other when they meet? Is it interesting?" Lu Xiyan slapped the table and was a little angry. Although he knew that the two of them could not really have such a big grudge, it would be a pity for the relationship if they quarreled.
"Sir, this was not something that Tan Si deliberately picked up."
"I did it on purpose, but you did it insanely and wouldn't people say it?" Tan Si snorted angrily.
"I am not authentic in my work. Can you compare with the sir?" Chu Ze asked back.
"What's wrong with me..."
"Okay, Chu Ze, Fourth Brother, isn't it just for a meal? As for you two being so petty, do you look like a man?" Lu Xiyan said heavily, "I'll invite you two for this meal, right?"
"Sir, that's not what I meant." Chu Ze said hurriedly.
"I don't mean that..." Tan Si was also panicked and followed closely.
"You two were relatives and brothers of the military advisors, and now they are also my brothers of Lu Xiyan. They are both right-hand men and right-hand men. They are fighting for a little bit of trivial matters. Isn't this a joke for outsiders? What do you think of the brothers under your command?" Lu Xiyan scolded him sternly.
"We are all in our thirties, so why are we still like children? I also hope that you two can work hard and get things done in Hong Kong well." Lu Xiyan said.
"Sir, I just said it casually and complained. He is fine. He is holding a gun and a stick in his words. I am a little student, but it is not unreasonable." Tan Si said aggrievedly, "What do you think?"
"The fourth brother's words make some sense. Chu Ze, what you said just now is a bit hurtful." Lu Xiyan nodded. To be honest, Chu Ze's words were indeed a bit too much.
Chu Ze looked embarrassed. He knew that he was used to fighting against Tan Si in the past and could not change his words for a while.
"Then he was not yin and yang in his words, saying that I was not authentic in my work. Can't I be angry if I hear this?" Chu Ze defended himself.
"Okay, Is it over there still going to be over? Just like two resentful women, is it embarrassing to lose it?" Lu Xiyan cursed, "If you don't eat this food, I'll go home to eat it."
"Eat, eat!"
"Sir, I asked someone to get two boxes of Laimao wine from Guizhou, one box will be taken back to the old man, and another box will be added. Let's open two bottles tonight to taste it?"
"Give it all to me, where is the fourth brother?" Lu Xiyan asked.
Tan Si's eyes widened, what Chu Ze said.
"At most, I give him two bottles. Your box is my filial piety to the old man. He doesn't have a father-in-law, so, no." Chu Ze smiled.
Tan Si snorted, he couldn't refute this explanation. Jiu Chuze gave Lu Xiyan's father-in-law Lao Meng. He couldn't say that he was favored by one and the other, but it would be good to get two bottles. If there hadn't been a fight just now, there would probably be no bottle.
The two of them didn't accept each other in the past, which led to the relationship today. Fortunately, they just care about trivial matters and are not confused about major matters.
"Sir, I have heard from Tan Si about Sun Yanan. Since he came to Hong Kong, this matter will be much easier to handle." Chu Ze said.
"You don't plan to identify it yourself, are you?" Lu Xiyan frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Sir, this is the only way. I have met Sun Yanan in the past and met again. If he can recognize me, it means that this person is real. If he doesn't recognize me, it will be questionable." Chu Ze said.
"Have you ever thought that Sun Yanan might be your cousin-in-law and entered the inside line of the Military Control Commission? Even if he recognizes you, he will pretend not to know you?" Lu Xiyan asked back.
"It's possible, but if you don't try it, how can you know? We don't know whether those people on the list are secret chess arranged by my cousin's brother-in-law. If so, how should we contact them, or, this is simply a funding list, and there is no special meaning." Chu Ze said.
“Is this a bit dangerous?”
"What's so dangerous? Dai Yunong knows that I'm in Hong Kong and knows Sun Yanan's past identity. If I take the initiative to contact him, it should be a natural thing." Chu Ze analyzed.
"Yes." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Sir, once we contact Sun Yanan, wouldn't that expose us to the inside of the Military Control Commission?" Tan Si asked back.
Chu Ze looked at Tan Si in surprise, a little disbelief. This was said from Tan Si's mouth. When did Tan Si become so meticulous?
"Aren't I?" Lu Xiyan smiled. Dai Yunong must have suspected Sun Yanan. Anyway, after he met Chu Ze, Dai Yunong would definitely find him to find out the situation.
