Chapter 182 The Iron Shoe Thief Appears

Bai Zhantang was about to leave with others. The main purpose of his coming to this birthday banquet was to eat delicious food and drink fine wine. If he didn't leave now, he would wait until later.

Before he could take a step forward, Zhang Chen grabbed his belt. Bai Zhantang looked back and saw Zhang Chen slowly shaking his head. He knew that Zhang Chen might have another purpose in bringing him to the birthday banquet this time.

As expected, Hua Ruling asked Hua Bo to lead the others away, and then said in the direction of Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang: "I ask Consultant Zhang to wait for a moment..."

After a while, only Zhang Chen and Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng were left in the lobby, as well as Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, who were waiting for answers.

Hua Ruling looked at the few people, sighed several times, and then walked to the side room on her own, and the others looked at each other and followed.

On the way, Bai Zhantang looked at Zhang Chen and asked Zhang Chen what was going on. He didn't believe that Zhang Chen didn't know anything about it.

Zhang Chen gave him a reassuring look, letting him put his heart in his heart. There were no downsides to what happened this time, only benefits.

Bai Zhantang felt relieved now. He still believed that Zhang Chen would not trick him, otherwise he would have left here with oil on his feet.

In the side room.

Hua Ruling led everyone to sit down one by one, and then Hua Manlou asked eagerly: "Father, what is all this going on? Why do you have such an order?"

"Lou'er, as a father, I have to take this step. If you get the news about him, I'm afraid you will..."

Hua Wo tried hard not to finish the sentence, but Hua Manlou still understood the meaning and said with a slight trembling: "Is it him? My feeling is right. He is really not dead?"

Lu Xiaofeng cooperated in time: "He? Who are you talking about?"

Zhang Chen looked at the two people fighting each other and looking at Hua Manlou's expression, and he didn't know who was deceiving whom in this situation.

Bai Zhantang pointed to the two sides, Zhang Chen nodded affirmatively, and then Bai Zhantang understood the cause-and-effect relationship.

The conversation between the three people in front continued, and Hua Ruling continued: "He is none other than the Iron Shoe Thief from many years ago. A few days before my birthday, I received a letter, which contained the message left by the Iron Shoe Thief.

, I now believe what Lou'er said before, it's possible that he really is not dead."

After saying that, Hua Ruling handed the envelope in her arms to the three of them for inspection.

When it was passed to Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen carefully looked at the shoe prints on the envelope and found that the imitation was so lifelike that it was impossible to tell whether it was genuine or not.

Zhang Chen pretended to be confused and asked: "Who is this iron-shoe thief! How can he make Brother Hua so scared?"

At this time, Hua Manlou seemed to wake up from the shadow just now. After hearing Zhang Chen's inquiry, he shouted loudly: "It's him, it must be him. Only he would use such an iron shoe sign."

Hua Man Lou had a look of fear on her face, her dull eyes staring straight ahead.

Hua Ruling explained: "You are all my friends, so I won't hide it any more. My eyes are the result of the iron-shoe thief."

Bai Zhantang couldn't help but asked, "As far as I know, the Iron Shoe Thief died under the siege of many gangsters many years ago. How could he be resurrected and reappear?"

Hua Ruling paused for a moment, then seeing that Bai Zhantang was asking about his background, he explained: "I was convinced that the iron shoe thief was dead before. I invited experts from all over the world to kill him, but I have already sealed the shoe seal.

After making a comparison, it is indeed the same as the wind back then."

"That's why I ordered Huaping to charm you and seal you in the room, just to prevent the iron-shoe thief from harming you for the second time. I will never let him succeed again."

Mr. Hua's words were sonorous and powerful, which impressed the two people who knew the inside story.

No wonder his business can grow big. Look at the unchanging expression on his face. Most people can't do this. Zhang Chen and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other and complained in their hearts.

Bai Zhantang looked a little strange. Although Zhang Chen and Lu Xiaofeng acted calmly, he still found that they were holding back something.

Hua Manlou burst into tears when he heard this. He couldn't repay his father's love and care for him.

Hua Manlou stood up, knelt respectfully in front of Hua Ruling and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, father, Hua Manlou today is no longer the Huamanlou he used to be. If he dares to come, let him see what I am now."

He is no longer the child he once was.”

Hua Ruling nodded slightly and turned to signal Lu Xiaofeng to speak.

Lu Xiaofeng warned: "Brother Hua, the current situation is that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. We still have to be more careful and not underestimate the enemy."

Zhang Chen also said: "Brother Hua, you and I are close friends. How can we not participate in such an occasion?"

"You must not find any excuses, saying that the enemy is strong and you are afraid of dragging us down. Let's leave here. If you say that, you don't regard us as friends."

Hua Manlou nodded. He did have this intention just now. He wanted to find a reason for the three of them to leave. I wanted them to go through this muddy water.

But she didn't expect Zhang Chen to make his words clear. Hua Manlou could only be moved and said: "I remember when we were in Jiangnan, it was you and me who faced the enemy together. Now I want to ask for your help. I hope I can catch this iron-blooded man."

Shoe Thief, Huamanlou would like to thank you."

After saying that, he had to bow.

Zhang Chen and Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to accept the gift, so they quickly helped Hua Manlou sit down, and the two agreed to come down.

Hua Ruling stroked his beard with a smile and looked at the harmonious scene in front of him. He was happy that Hua Manlou could find such a confidant.

Ever since Hua Manlou became blind, the formerly optimistic and cheerful child was now becoming more and more silent day by day. This situation made Hua Ruling feel pain in her heart.

Although he never gave up seeking a doctor, blindness was a terminal illness. No famous doctor would dare to boast of a cure. The sky has eyes and he got the news about Zhang Chen.

Moreover, he is also his son's good friend, and he has the hope of healing his eyes. This is one of Hua Ruling's purposes in planning this plan. He wants Hua Manlou to completely abandon the shadow of the past before opening her eyes.

"Okay, okay, Lou'er is lucky to have such a good friend. I have the audacity to ask a few people to help Lou'er."

Hua Ruling makes the final decision.

Only then did Bai Zhantang realize that he was also included in this.

At this time, the three of them said in unison: "Uncle, please rest assured, we will not let Brother Hua be harmed by the iron-shoe thieves."

Hua Ruling nodded with satisfaction.

"Today is my birthday. You two will go out with me for a few drinks, and then let Lou'er take you around in the afternoon. You must know that the scenery here is one of the best in the capital."

Hua Manlou said with a smile.

Everyone was happy, Zhang Chen smiled and replied: "You are the biggest birthday boy today, I will listen to your arrangements!"

Just like that, Zhang Chen slowly walked out of the room with Hua Ruling on his arm.

Thanks for the support!
