Shuttling through the crowd, Zhou Jie felt that the alcohol was getting to his head. His mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water. Before that, he had to find Tang Mengru.
Zhou Jie regretted bringing Tang Mengru here. He looked around the place three times and went in and out of the women's room many times. The only thing he didn't go to was the women's room. The women were the families of the local officials in Hubei. Seeing Zhou Jie wandering around them, most of them didn't look happy. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiaoqiang's wedding today, they would have called someone to teach this lecher a lesson. Of course, Zhou Jie couldn't find the whereabouts of these women.
Zhou Jie's sweat turned into cold sweat. He found a place to sit down, grabbed a cigarette, and lit it. He hadn't smoked for a long time, so he wasn't used to the feeling of smoke filling his lungs. After a while, he squinted his eyes and exhaled the remaining smoke.
"Where did she go?
She should know what this place is … "
"Why is she so disobedient? Do you think it's easy for me?
For her, I'm willing to take the risk of losing my reputation … "
"Could it be that she found the man she likes?
Bah bah bah … Impossible, I've done so much for her … "
All kinds of thoughts made his mind a mess. When the cigarette burned his fingers while he was deep in thought, two security personnel wearing full leather armor walked to his side. One of them asked, "Zhou Jie from Yin Meng's Executive Yuan?"
The two were arrogant and powerless. They looked at Zhou Jie as if they were interrogating a criminal. Obviously, they didn't care about Zhou Jie's identity as a supervisor.
Zhou Jie looked up and realized that both of them were evolvers with the insignia of the Dragon Guards on their chests. He stood up in confusion. He knew who these two people were. The cockroach base was an important military place in Hubei. It stored a large amount of ammunition and corrosion sources, and it was also the maintenance ground for the air frigates and transport ships. The security work was all guarded by the most loyal soldiers. These soldiers were saved after being infected by the virus in the battle with the zombies, and they did not lack the determination to fight. They were grateful that their superiors gave them the Evolution Substance that cost a million Revival Coins each, which made them Zhang Xiaoqiang's most loyal supporters. Zhang Xiaoqiang was also willing to equip them with the best weapons and armor, all of which were made from the top materials of high-level mutated beasts. Even the S3 zombies might not be able to scratch them, and normal light weapons would not be able to break through the defense at all.
It could be said that this troop was the most elite troop of evolvers in the world. You Yinhua, Tulip, and the puppet warriors of the New Era could not compare, let alone the beast warriors of the United States and the evolvers of the United Kingdom. In addition, although the Evolution Substance that was worth a million Revival Coins and the weapons and equipment that were worth tens of millions outside seemed expensive, it was nothing to Zhang Xiaoqiang. The Evolution Substance was completely given to Zhang Xiaoqiang by the doctor, so there was no patent fee. At most, it was less than a hundred thousand Revival Coins. The materials of high-level mutated beasts were all monopolized, so there was only a small processing fee. High-level mutated beasts were often huge, and any one of them could equip hundreds of people. In the eyes of the higher-ups of Huaxia Renaissance, it was not as practical as flesh and blood.
"I am. What's the matter?"
Zhou Jie, who had been in power for a long time, had a calm temperament. He was not afraid of the Dragon Guards like the others. This made the arrogance of these two people subside a little. One of them said softly, "Please come with us. The order was given by Zhang Xiaoqiang. Don't make it difficult for us …"
As soon as this was said, Zhou Jie thought, "Oh no, Tang Mengru is in trouble …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang leaned against the wooden chair and closed his eyes to rest. Meow, who came out of nowhere, grabbed Zhang Xiaoqiang's arm and begged, "Why can't you marry me? Ke Er is not as pretty as me. You have already married five, and I won't make much of a difference. Wouldn't six be great?
Don't you want to be lucky … "
"Bullsh * t … Then what if I marry two more to make seven stars to accompany the moon?
Go away, why are you kids making a fuss?
Can't you see I'm busy? "
In Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, Meow was still a dirty little thing like a mud monkey. Sometimes, the first time determined the impression. At least in Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart, this little girl would never grow up. She was nothing like when he first saw Yang Ke-er. She was tall and had everything that should be there. Even a fried egg was still an egg.
Meow's crisp voice was like the first cry of a nightingale. It was indescribably beautiful and innocent. It made Zhang Huai'an's bones melt. At his age, he loved kids the most. He always treated the younger generation as his own grandchildren. Seeing Meow's pitiful look, he couldn't help but say, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, Meow will be eighteen in two years. Are you willing to take advantage of other people's wild kids?
Or … "
He didn't finish his sentence and let Zhang Xiaoqiang guess the rest. Zhang Huai'an, on the other hand, made Zhang Xiaoqiang think deeply. Meow was undoubtedly the best evolved person. Her weird ability could even be taken care of by a god. She was also loyal to him and only cared about him. Other than him, she didn't care about anyone else. However, this did not mean that she would be like this in the future. There was a kid in Guangdong who was willing to give up his country for Meow. If he really met someone he liked and was tricked by her, wouldn't that be a great loss for him?
"Let's talk about this in two years. Right now, Meow is still young. There are a lot of things that need to be considered …" Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't reject it, which meant that he didn't oppose it. Zhang Huai'an, who had always been a henchman, immediately understood what Zhang Xiaoqiang meant. Meow was getting prettier and more and more attractive. Zhang Xiaoqiang was also a nostalgic person. Even if he said no, it might not mean that he didn't want it.
"I don't want it. Didn't you and Ke Er get married three years ago? Why do I have to wait for two years? I don't want it …" Meow was an impatient person. She was afraid that no one would marry her, so she kept asking Zhang Xiaoqiang for an official promise. The little girl was sitting on a pile of walnuts in the corner. She was eating the walnuts while looking at Yang Ke-er's coquettish look. She seemed to think this game was very fun. She instantly sat on the back of Zhang Xiaoqiang's neck and hugged Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes. She opened her mouth and meowed like a kitten, "Want … want …"
"Haha, Zhang Xiaoqiang, you're really popular with young and old …" Zhang Huai'an looked at Yan Fei's adorable look and just wanted to hug her in his arms and dote on her. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little annoyed by Yan Fei's crazy playfulness. Although the little hand holding his eyes was as soft as dough, he knew that this pair of little hands could easily dig his eyeballs out.
At this moment, Huang Quan entered the door and said to Zhang Xiaoqiang in a low voice, "Zhou Jie has been arrested. He didn't resist. The inner guard who arrested him said that he was very cooperative and didn't seem to understand the situation …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang plucked the wild monkey-like Yan Fei and hugged her in his arms. He took the opportunity to stuff a candy into her mouth and threw it at Zhang Huai'an. Zhang Huai'an's old bones instantly acted like an ace goalkeeper and quickly hugged Yan Fei in his arms. However, this was just an illusion. The moment he hugged her, little Yan Fei strangely disappeared from in front of him and reappeared in front of the pile of walnuts. She held the candy in her mouth while pinching open a hard apple sized walnut.
"Keep an eye on him for now. At the same time, keep an eye on all the higher-ups in Silver Meng. Before this matter comes to light, we must ensure that they are under control. I hope this is just a …"
When Huang Quan heard what Zhang Xiaoqiang said, he was a little hesitant. He muttered to himself for a while and said, "Won't we alert them?
What if … "Huang Quan did not object to keeping an eye on all the higher-ups in Silver Meng, but he was afraid of raising their vigilance. Silver Meng was a faction of its own and did not have a close relationship with Hubei. There were still some conflicts between the two sides. If not for Zhang Xiaoqiang, perhaps Silver Meng would have long split. Huang Quan had always thought that Silver Meng was a hidden danger, so he had never really felt at ease over there.
Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed and said, "There's no such thing as alerting them. I just want to give them a warning. I don't believe that they don't know anything about this problem. Didn't Zhou Xiong snitch that there was something from the Democratic Alliance?
I think the root of this matter lies here. Even a small Democratic Alliance couldn't handle it. It's either that Zhou Xiong is too incompetent, or there's someone protecting him … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not say the reason for the protection, but Huang Quan could roughly guess it. The higher-ups in Silver Meng had already begun to question Zhang Xiaoqiang's orders, but the military supported Zhang Xiaoqiang. That was why there was the problem of the military and the government opposing each other. But no matter what the reason was, it was not so simple to plot against Zhang Xiaoqiang. Someone had to be responsible for it.
"Then what about tomorrow's conference?"
Zhang Huai'an did not think that Silver Meng's problem was that important. His eyes were always on Hubei. It was enough to manage Hubei and the surrounding areas well. Although Silver Meng was developing well, he did not want to stretch his hands so far.
"Continue. Also, make preparations to take over Silver Meng's government affairs. It's time to take back Silver Meng's power …" Zhang Xiaoqiang's words shocked Huang Quan and Zhang Huai'an. Then, the word 'centralization' flashed in their minds.
"Not good, Madam Zhuo and Madam Ke Er are here …" The door was pushed open again, and Honest, who was panicking, jumped in. The moment he saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, he immediately said the bad news that Zhang Xiaoqiang did not want to hear the most. Zhang Xiaoqiang's calmness immediately disappeared. He pushed Meow, who was beside him, and rushed to the side of the bed to lie down. He casually said, "I'll leave them to you …"
"Sleep …" Ma Fei screamed. Her figure flashed and appeared beside Zhang Xiaoqiang. She hugged Zhang Xiaoqiang's neck and buried her little butt into Zhang Xiaoqiang's embrace. Meow was so angry that her teeth itched. Before she could make a fuss, the sound of Yang Ke-er and Zhuo Mingyue arguing came from outside the door. The next moment, Huang Quan, Zhang Huai'an, and Honest all rushed to the other room, ignoring Zhang Xiaoqiang's previous orders …
