Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, the two embarked on the journey back.

On the way back

"Ring ring ring" Shen Minghao's phone rang.

"Hello."

"Mr. Shen, it's not good. The raw material supplier Qian Zhanbiao came to the company to cause trouble. He insists that we settle the balance." Secretary Zhang's hurried words were filled with a little fear, and he reported to Shen Minghao simply and clearly. Condition.

"I understand. I'll be there soon while I handle it. Remember to protect your own personal safety." Shen Minghao replied calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Shen." Secretary Zhang's tone was slightly calm, with trust in his tone.

At this time, the two of them had already got off the plane and were rushing back to the villa from the airport.

He looked at Han Jiuyi who was sitting aside and said hesitantly: "The company has some urgent matters. We will drive directly to the company from here, and then I will ask Qi Xuan to pick you up at the company. Is that okay?"

Han Jiuyi raised the corners of his eyes slightly, made an indifferent expression, spread his hands, and said flatly: "It's up to you, I can do it."

Seeing that Han Jiuyi agreed so easily, Shen Minghao immediately ordered the driver to change direction and drive towards the company.

Entrance to the office of the president of sw group

Several burly men held baseball bats in their hands, waving them back and forth, and tapping their palms from time to time.

Qian Zhanbiao looked irritated and said indifferently: "When will Shen Minghao come back? Secretary Zhang, you are not fooling me, are you? Do you still want to take a punch from me?"

After saying this, Qian Zhanbiao motioned to the tough man next to him to educate him again.

Then, the big man inside suddenly raised his fist as hard as stone and swung it at Secretary Zhang.

"Stop!" Shen Minghao exclaimed. He quickly ducked under the big man's fist and blocked the blow. He used his strength to throw the man aside.

Secretary Zhang was so frightened that he trembled next to Shen Minghao.

Shen Minghao looked at Secretary Zhang next to him and said seriously: "Zhang Yuze, did they beat you?"

Zhang Yuze slowly raised his head and nodded.

Shen Minghao saw the bloody mess at the corner of Zhang Yuze's mouth and approached Qian Zhanbiao with a solemn expression.

"You came to my company to cause trouble for no reason and injured my employees. I can file a lawsuit against you in accordance with the law, Mr. Qian." Shen Minghao's sharp eyes were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly stabbing Qian Zhan in front of him. Biao.

Qian Zhanbiao's legs were shaking with fear. He groaned for a long time before he could hold back two sentences: "Don't scare me with the law. I know the law."

When Shen Minghao saw Qian Zhanbiao's embarrassment, the corners of his mouth raised in an instant, and he asked fiercely: "Tell me, who instigated you to come to me to ask for money? As long as you tell me, I can't do this." Pursued."

Qian Zhanbiao's eyes averted, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he groaned and said: "No one is instructing me, I...I want my own payment for the goods, who else can I use to instruct me?"

Han Jiuyi was leaning on the wall on one side. Seeing Qian Zhanbiao's shameless appearance, he stood up slowly, crossed his hands on his chest, and slowly approached, while warning with sharp words: "Mr. Qian, you have no problem asking for payment." , but the nature of it changed when you hit Mr. Shen’s secretary.”

Han Jiuyi stopped in front of Qian Zhanbiao, who was a head shorter than him, stared at him from top to bottom, and continued to add: "According to Article 234 of the Criminal Law of our country, whoever intentionally harms the body of others shall be sentenced to three years in prison." The following shall be punishable by fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention or public surveillance.

Anyone who commits the crime in the preceding paragraph and causes serious injury to another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; whoever causes death or serious injury to a person by particularly cruel means and causes severe disability shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment or death. "

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhanbiao instantly collapsed to the ground.

Han Jiuyi smiled at him and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Qian will be in this situation for three years no matter what. When you come out, you will no longer be Mr. Qian."

Qian Zhanbiao stared at Han Jiuyi in surprise and cursed: "You woman, aren't you the lady next to Shen Minghao? What qualifications do you have to speak, get out of here."

Han Jiuyi sneered and replied: "I am a lawyer from Tianqin Firm, Han Jiuyi. My stage is the duel stage of the People's Court. I am never by anyone's side, let alone a young lady."

The corner of Shen Minghao's mouth curled up with a charming smile, and he added on the side: "Yes, if Mr. Qian refuses to accept the secret, our SW Group will hire Lawyer Han to file a lawsuit against you in accordance with the law."

Qian Zhanbiao's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he huddled on the ground. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly stood up from the ground, grabbed Shen Minghao's hand with both hands, and said tremblingly: "Yes... it's Sheng." Tian Group, Mr. Xu of their company, asked me to do this. Mr. Shen, let’s keep it private. If we keep it secret, can we please don’t call the police?” Qian Zhanbiao begged.

Shen Minghao suddenly shook off the hand held by Qian Zhanbiao, and said to the security guard next to him with a look of disgust: "The matter has been resolved, please ask Mr. Qian to go out."

After saying this, the security guard picked up the disgraced Qian Zhanbiao and left, and the few burly men inside could only follow Qian Zhanbiao out.

Shen Minghao gently warned Zhang Yuze, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth: "Take care of the wound and have a good rest."

Zhang Yuze was moved, crying and looking at Shen Minghao affectionately: "Mr. Shen, you are so kind. You are the best boss I have ever seen. It would be great if you could increase your salary or pay for mental damage." Here." He blinked at Shen Minghao expectantly.

Shen Minghao smiled coldly, raised his right leg suddenly, pretended to kick Zhang Yuze, and said sternly and jokingly: "Okay, I'll cripple you, give you a few million, and let you go home to retire, okay?" ?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuze ducked out of the way quickly and disappeared without a trace.

While running, he yelled: "No, Mr. Shen, I'm still young and don't want to take care of myself. I'm going to take care of my wounds."

Shen Minghao and Han Jiuyi looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads helplessly as they walked into the president's office.

CEO's office

Han Jiuyi looked around as he walked in, teasing Shen Minghao in his words: "The president's office is different, it's really grand."

"If Lawyer Han likes it, come here often." Shen Minghao sat on the chair next to the desk and looked at Han Jiuyi affectionately.

"You did a good job just now. If it weren't for you Qian Zhanbiao, he wouldn't have told you who instigated him." Shen Minghao was still sitting on the chair, looking at Han Jiuyi softly.

"How did you know he was instigated?" Han Jiuyi asked doubtfully.

Shen Minghao's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously: "The company has recently opened a new sales channel and purchase channel, and plans to build a brand new jewelry brand. It is a time when a lot of money is spent, and at this season, it suddenly came to me to ask for money. It’s nothing more than trying to hinder the progress of my project. Qian Zhanbiao doesn’t have the brains to do it. Someone else must be instigating it.”

Han Jiuyi nodded slightly, slowly approached Shen Minghao's desk, leaned on the edge of the table, and replied: "Mr. Shen is really smart and resourceful."

After hearing these words, the heavy expression on Shen Minghao's face was completely gone, leaving only a malicious smile.

He slowly walked around the table, walked up to Han Jiuyi, put his hands on the edge of the table next to Han Jiuyi, held her in his arms, and said frivolously: "I believe our children will be smarter in the future." "

Soon after, Qi Xuan just broke in. Seeing such a scene, he immediately covered his eyes and wanted to escape. As he walked, he said: "Brother Shen, I didn't see anything. You continue, continue." ."

Han Jiuyi pushed Shen Minghao away suddenly and stopped Qi Xuan who was about to leave: "Stop, what are you going on about? We haven't done anything. I'll wait a minute and I'll leave with you."

Han Jiuyi walked towards the door and said to Shen Minghao: "Let's go." Then he waved his hand with his back to him.

Shen Minghao said nothing, put his hands in the pockets of his pants, and watched Han Jiuyi away with narrowed eyes.

***

The night was getting darker, and the setting sun finally couldn't stand the temper of time and fell in the valley.

Han Jiuyi sat in the back seat of the driver's seat, leaning his head against the car window, letting the passing street lights hit his face.

Qi Xuan looked at Han Jiuyi through the rearview mirror and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, did you and Brother Shen have fun in Binhai?"

Han Jiuyi was still looking out the window, looking a little sad, and said tiredly: "I'm happy, the sunset there is beautiful."

As soon as Qi Xuan finished speaking, he turned his eyes from the rearview mirror to the windshield, he suddenly saw a car that seemed to be out of control, with dazzling headlights on, honking its horn constantly, and crashing towards them crazily.

9:58pm

"Ring ring ring" Shen Minghao's cell phone suddenly rang after working overtime until late at night.

"Hello." Shen Minghao took the phone and said calmly.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, long time no see. I would like to discuss a business deal with you." A cold and strange middle-aged male voice came from the phone.

"Business talk? What business talk?" Shen Minghao suddenly became nervous, and an ominous premonition filled his heart.

"I have a piece of your heart, how about you give it 1.25 billion in exchange?" The middle-aged man's tone was still as calm as water.

"Who are you and what is your thorn in your side?!" Shen Minghao became a little anxious and raised his tone on the phone.

"It seems that Mr. Shen has forgotten that last time at the trade fair, you and your woman killed eight of my brothers and made me lose a lot of money. There were 25 people at the trade fair at that time, each of whom cost 5,000 yuan. Ten thousand, exactly 1.25 billion. Since you are so capable, you can pay all of the 1.25 billion by yourself. Remember, don’t call the police. I will give you 3 hours to go to the abandoned open air in the suburbs alone with cash. Come to the theater, and once the time has passed, you will never want to see this woman again."

"Beep beep beep..." The phone was hung up.

Shen Minghao stood up with his hands on the desk.

After being stunned for a while, he suddenly dialed the landline on his desk: "Hey, Zhang Yuze, notify the finance department to prepare 250 million in cash and load it on the truck. We are also preparing to transfer 1 billion in funds to the card. Hurry!"

Before Zhang Yuze on the phone understood the situation, the call had been hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Minghao quickly opened the drawer on his desk, took out a portable CZ75 pistol and fastened it to his waist, then left the office at a lightning speed.

As soon as I left the company's gate, a truck filled with cash was already parked at the door.

He opened the car door, jumped into the car, and suddenly, he was driving towards the abandoned open-air theater.

Abandoned outdoor theater in the suburbs

Night fell, blue twilight, blue night, they were waiting under the dark dome, surrounded by the dining table with messy cups and plates, their chairs pushed to the back and the truck full of cash driven by Shen Minghao.

Shen Minghao slowly walked into the dark theater door. The hole in the roof made the whole road either bright or dark.

At the very end, there is the center of the amphitheater. Arc-shaped auditoriums surround it, and the center of the stage is filled with brown maple leaves.

The sky has turned overcast, and the night has lowered the sky, creating a deep and intense illusion. The full moon is like a white veil covering the midnight sky, with a halo that makes everything around it quiet and eerie.

Shen Minghao stood in the center of the theater and looked around cautiously.

"As expected of the president of SW Group who has over a billion dollars, he doesn't bring any counter-offers. However, the money in the truck outside is not enough." The sound of tearing old speakers could be heard around the abandoned theater.

"The rest are in this card, where are Han Jiuyi's people!" Shen Minghao shouted.

"Mr. Shen, don't worry. Put the card on the table outside first and then come in. I will let you see your woman." The middle-aged man still did not show his face and talked to Shen Minghao through the theater's old speakers. .

After saying that, Shen Minghao walked out of the theater, put the card on the table at the entrance of the theater, and hurried back to the theater.
