Liu Zhengqi was also concerned and confused, so Weng Jian gave him a drink and finally came to his senses, feeling happy and worried at the same time.
Fortunately, the other party also gave room for negotiation. What is worrying is that the boy named Zhao will definitely open his mouth like a lion and bite off a piece of his own flesh.
"Let me ask you." President Weng asked in a deep voice: "Do those water bandits know about your existence?"
"They don't know that Butler Wang is the one who contacts them on weekdays." Liu Zhengqi hurriedly replied: "Lao Wang is a very reliable person, so he shouldn't be able to shake me out."
"Are you sure?" President Weng looked relaxed. "They will probably try to pry his mouth open."
"Old Wang is a tough guy. He went to jail and endured the punishment for me, but he didn't recruit me out." Liu Zhengqi had full confidence in Butler Wang.
"If this is the case, it will be much easier." Weng Jian slowly ordered: "Tomorrow morning, please invite Hua Boxhen and you to go to Xishan to see what the other party's price is. As long as you can't get the handle of your being a bandit, you can sit down. Pay back the money."
With Hua Bozhen around, at least the other party wouldn't be too humiliated by him.
Liu Zhengqi¡¯s eyes lit up, yes, as long as there is no irrefutable proof that I am a bandit, what if they arrest my son? If you don't want to be accused of kidnapping, why don't you just send him back?
"If you are caught as a traitor, then clean your neck and admit it." President Weng poured cold water on him again.
Liu Yuanwai's face turned pale and he said with difficulty: "No, Lao Wang will definitely not betray me"
"I hope so, but you have to prepare for the worst." Weng Jian closed his eyes slightly. "See what you can come up with to satisfy people's appetites."
"Yes, President." Liu Zhengqi bowed his head and agreed.
"Go." Weng Jian nodded slightly.
"Where is the president, Vice President Xu?"
"I will tell him to keep quiet."
"Thank you, President!" This is what Liu Zhengqi was waiting for, thanking him profusely to show his loyalty.
After Liu Zhengqi retreated, Weng Fan couldn't help but ask: "Father, why do you still need to help this idiot? You have offended Xu Zhixiang for nothing."
"Isn't it for you?" Weng Jian glanced at his son and said, "It is a foregone conclusion that he will be elected at the end of the year. Whether you can replace him depends on this time."
"I understand, father." Weng Fan suddenly realized that this was for the Xishan Gang to see.

Early the next morning, Liu Zhengqi followed Weng Jian's instructions and begged Hua Boxhen to accompany him to the Western Mountains.
Hua Bozhen didn't refuse, so he boarded Liu Zhengqi's ship and arrived at Dasheng Bay within a short meal.
There were militiamen patrolling the bay with gunboats. They stepped forward to conduct an inspection and then led the big boat into the bay.
The two of them stood on the deck and looked at the bustling labor scene in the harbor, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It seems like it¡¯s going to stay here forever
When the ship docked, Zhao Hao also received the news and was greeted with a smile surrounded by Jin Ke, Gao Wu and others.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, brother." Mr. Zhao was naturally very affectionate towards Hua Boxhen.
"What are you talking about, dear brother? I spent several days eating and drinking on Dongshan Island, but it is nothing compared to the hardship that dear brother has to run around and take care of."
"Without the help of big brother, the rescue would not have been so smooth." Zhao Hao's words were not just polite.
Hua Bozhen's grand display of dignitaries on Dongshan Island completely attracted Liu Yuanwai's attention, leaving him completely unprepared for someone who would storm Dalei Island.
And without Hua Boxhen¡¯s pressure, Zhao Hao couldn¡¯t catch the two big fish, Liu Ji and Wang Fugui.
"Hahaha, when you say it like that, it seems like it's really the case."
Hua Boxhen smiled and hugged Zhao Hao, like half-brothers. Then he squeaked loudly outside Mr. Liu, who was standing far away, and whispered:
"This guy came to the door and begged to be let go, but he still refused to admit that he was the one who instigated it."
"I understand, how can I admit this kind of thing casually?" Zhao Hao nodded without feeling dissatisfied, and laughed loudly: "If you drag your brother along, are you afraid that I will beat him?"
"Who knows what he was thinking?" When Hua Boxhen saw Liu Yuanwai bravely approaching, she smiled and said, "You two are old acquaintances, so you don't need me to introduce you."
"How are you, Mr. Zhao?" Liu Yuanwai said calmly.
"Hey, isn't this Vice President Liu?" Zhao Hao also smiled and said politely: "Why do you have time to come to Xishan as a guest?"
"'I am from Xishan" Liu Yuanwai's eyelids jumped when he heard this, but now is not the time to pick out words, so he had to pretend not to hear and said: "I'm here to find my son."??Last time, he and my housekeeper went to the bandits' lair to make peace on behalf of Mr. Hua family, but they never came back. I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows the whereabouts of my son? "
"What a coincidence." Zhao Hao clapped his hands exaggeratedly and said with a smile, "Young Master Ling is here with me."
"That's great." Liu Zhengqi forced a smile and said: "Since the person has been rescued, it's time for my father and son to retire. Please ask Mr. Zhao to call me out"
After Liu Yuanwai finished speaking, the dock fell into an awkward silence.
Zhao Hao and Hua Boxhen looked at each other and thought to themselves that this person wanted to eat shit.
Jin Ke and others couldn¡¯t help but secretly exclaimed, saying to themselves that Vice President Liu is so thick-skinned, no wonder he can become you as the president.
"What, is it inconvenient?" Liu Zhengqi admitted that he was gambling. Otherwise, would it be possible to recognize him as soon as he comes up?
He gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will ask someone to call him, and it will be the same, haha"
"There's no rush." ??Zhao Hao laughed loudly and said, "You've come all the way, why don't you have a cup of tea?"
After saying that, he took Hua Boxhen¡¯s arm and walked towards the entrance of the village, introducing him like a treasure:
"Brother, let me tell you, don't look at me, Dongting Xishan is sparsely populated and desolate, but it produces good tea, which is called 'frightening and fragrant'."
"Why is it called such a name?" Hua Boxhen asked strangely.
"It smells so frightening." Zhao Hao said, "That goes without saying."
"Oh, hahaha" Hua Bozhen couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Then you must try it."
Liu Zhengqi had no choice but to follow behind with a dark face, listening to Zhao Hao talking about Dongting Xishan, as if he was a native of Xishan.
Liu Yuanwai couldn¡¯t help but feel his heart pounding, wondering what on earth this boy wanted to do? Could it be that he wanted to live in Xishan and couldn't leave?
While thinking wildly, Liu Zhengqi followed Zhao Hao to the entrance of the village.
???????????????????????????????????????????: A trench with a depth of ten feet surrounded the village. Behind the trench, there were people building camp walls and installing deer and firewood. It was exactly like a regular army setting up camp.
The ominous premonition in Liu Zhengqi's heart became more and more serious, and he asked in a trembling voice: "What kind of trouble is this?"
"Liu Yuanwai, don't think too much, this is not against you." Mr. Zhao smiled and explained: "There are too many water bandits on Taihu Lake, so we still have to guard against their accomplices stealing camps."
"Then why don't you just go back to Kunshan quickly?" Liu Zhengqi couldn't help but said.
"Although Ms. Jiang is safe, there are still many hostages who have not been rescued yet." Zhao Hao replied sternly: "Never abandon or give up is the purpose of our Kunshan Gunner Battalion."
"Haha" Liu Zhengqi laughed dryly and cursed secretly, "You are so young and you are full of lies!"
The bandit¡¯s lair is in Damn Big Thunder Mountain. What kind of hostage are you running to Xishan to rescue?
