Li Shaowen has been paying attention to the assassination case of the maid, until the maid Shunxi was rescued after touching the wall and was sentenced to prison, and finally Miss Qi's acquittal, he has all kinds of information in his hands.He paid attention to this case, and the root cause was Qi Zhilan. If she hadn't been involved, Li Shaowen would have been nothing more than a forgettable gossip.

At this time, he entered the hospital, saw Mu Qing sent Yu Chun out, and successfully found the door of Zhi Lan's ward, and it took no effort to get there.

The nurse knocked on the door, Yan Cui only thought that Mu Qing had come back, just as she opened the door, she saw that it was the nurse who came to change the dressing.

Zhilan didn't expect Li Shaowen to come in with the nurse, she was taken aback for a moment: "Li Shaowen, why are you here?"

"I'll come and see you." He conjured a fruit basket out of nowhere behind him and put it on the table.

"Please sit down." Zhilan said, "I'm sorry I can't get out of bed because I have to hang a bottle."

"It's okay." The corners of Li Shaowen's mouth hung up meaningfully, "I've never seen what kind of you you are."

These words were very ambiguous, and the nurse who came to give her an injection glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.Ling Zhilan's face darkened: "Li Shaowen, what are you talking about?"

"Just kidding. Seeing that you still have the strength to get angry, you should be able to get better and be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Lan'er, you have narrowly escaped death this time. How about it, is it an art to snatch someone else's husband?" Li Shaowen's face With a smile, he said intentionally, "That's why you look far away. Zhou Muqing doesn't seem to have any intention of taking action, and he hasn't expressed anything for so long. Even if he does it all over again, if he knew your life experience, he, Zhou Muqing, might be my defeat .” Li Shaowen spoke with his unique self-confidence.

"That's where he has his own difficulties." Zhi Lan said, "I don't want to hear these things today."

"That's right. I shouldn't say this to a patient. Well, let me take a look, as long as you are fine." Li Shaowen stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and changed a nonchalant expression. In fact, he He never said that he was thinking about her all the time, and he didn't know what charm Qi Zhilan had, which made him restless.

"Yan Cui, send Young Master Li off for me." Zhi Lan ordered.

So Yan Cui sent Li Shaowen out of the ward, and Li Shaowen told Yan Cui to stay, just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard someone ask, where is Zhou Zhilan's ward?

When Li Shaowen heard someone inquire about Zhilan's name, seeing that it was a woman, he couldn't help but pay attention.

The nurse asked, and she said it was her friend, so she pointed out the location. The woman didn't pay attention to Li Shaowen, and went straight into the ward.

Zhilan was a little surprised that Zhang Manting found this place, and what surprised her even more was that she sat beside her bed and said melancholy, "I actually don't know what mood I should use to see you."

Zhilan didn't know whether her intentions for coming were good or bad, so she couldn't answer her words.Zhang Manting looked her up and down, I really can't see what Zhou Muqing likes you, your Qi family is only a few cloth shops, and me, Zhou Muqing is blind, what I can give him is what you can bring.My appearance and speech, how can you compare with me.Why!I can not be reconciled.

You tell me why!The more Zhang Manting thought about it, the more she couldn't be reconciled, and her emotions were a little out of control.

"If you ask me, I can only say that first come first, first come first, you can win against everything. Besides, you use interests to measure your feelings. I believe that Mu Qing is not a person who calculates like this." Zhi Lan said lightly, "I am confident that I and Mu Qing's relationship has never been afraid of hardships and obstacles, I have spent too much time with him and faced so many ups and downs, you young lady only thought it was so easy, but did not understand the bitterness behind it."

Zhang Manting did not close the door tightly. At this moment, Li Shaowen listened to Zhilan's words outside the door, sighed, and continued to listen.

"Are you alluding to me?" Zhang Manting frowned and raised her eyes to stare at Zhilan.

She stared at De Zhilan with hairy eyes, regretting that she shouldn't talk too much, but after thinking about it, she should explain it clearly to Miss Zhang.Zhilan felt that it was time for her to speak clearly, but the woman in front of her couldn't accept it. She was such an honorable young lady, she was always domineering, how could she fall so hard on Zhou Muqing.

Her eyes flashed, and there was indeed some sudden change.She took out a syringe-like thing from her handbag, and stabbed at the unsuspecting Zhilan.

"Lan'er be careful!" Li Shaowen saw it so clearly from outside the door, so he shouted out in a hurry.Yan Cui's reaction was quick, and she rushed to Zhang Manting. Her weaker body was no match for Yan Cui's skills, she lost her balance and fell to the ground, and the syringe in her hand rolled out.

Li Shaowen pushed open the door and walked in a few steps, picking up the syringe from the ground.After all, he was well-informed, and he looked at the foreign language on the syringe, what was it but high-priced morphine on the black market?

Now the north is inextricably at war with the Japanese, and it is hard to find a shot of morphine for pain relief.Why did Zhang Manting have it in her hand?Li Shaowen glanced at Ms. Zhang with shrewd eyes, seeing that she was dressed in either rich or expensive clothes, he reckoned that she might be a lady from the official family.

He took the syringe and asked her, how did you get this?
Zhang Manting snatched it from him without saying a word.There was some pain from this fall, she got up and moved slowly.

"Young Master Li, you don't need to ask any more questions. Let Miss Zhang go." Zhi Lan said.In this huge river city, no one can restrain Ms. Zhang.Zhilan knows that in the face of a strong enemy, one can only avoid showing weakness, not head-on.

Zhang Manting gouged out Li Shaowen's eyes bitterly.He limped away with his own bag.

"What is this?" Zhilan asked Li Shaowen after Zhang Manting left.

"A kind of painkiller. Now that the war is raging, this kind of thing is in short supply. Even the black market is a rare commodity. It's a kind of painkiller, but after a few injections, I'm afraid it will become addictive. I didn't expect this young lady to have such precious money. things." Li Shaowen said, "It's a good thing I haven't left yet."

"Thank you. You saved me today." Zhilan thanked Li Shaowen, "It's normal for her to have this kind of thing. Do you know who she is? Her eldest brother is Commander Zhang."

"No wonder." Li Shaowen said, "I heard that she seems to have a hard time with Zhou Muqing, you'd better be careful. Otherwise, I'll just wait here for Zhou Muqing to come."

"No need. She won't come again for the time being. I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. You can go back first." Zhi Lan said pleasantly.

"It's okay." Li Shaowen was worried after all, "It's just a matter of waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door unexpectedly. It was Qi Guanshan who came in and said, Master Li, I have something to talk to you about.

Zhilan said, I have nothing here, it's important that you talk about things first.

Li Shaowen took a look at Qi Guanshan, then bid farewell to Zhilan.

Now that Qi Guanshan has taken the place of Xiao Zhang, he has become his indispensable follower.He came out of the hospital, and he took a step forward to help him open the car door.

"Master Li, Lao Feng contacted me. In half a month, there will be a large amount of sawdust to be transported into Guangjiang Wharf. The strange thing this time is that Zhaotong is only going to dock at the wharf, but the unloading people don't want us to go out. Do we want to pick it up?" This order?" Qi Guanshan sat in the front row and turned his head to ask.

"how's the price?"

"The price is the same as the last time the sawdust was transported, and we don't need to provide labor. After the goods arrive in Jiangcheng, his Zhaotong company will send people to transport them away. We don't need to worry about it." Qi Guanshan said, "I think it can be accepted. , Lao Feng is our old customer. This time, we don’t need to make extra efforts, and the price is good, so we have taken advantage of it.”

"Cheap?" Li Shaowen snorted coldly, "How can there be such an easy bargain in the world?"

"Then, do you want to sign with him?" Qi Guanshan was a little uncertain about what he said.

"Of course we have to sign. It's just that we have to be careful, and we can't leave it to Lao Feng and the others. It's like this..." Li Shaowen made arrangements, and Qi Guanshan nodded repeatedly.Ever since Li Shaowen was held hostage by Gu Xingshu, he believed that caution was unnecessary.Feng Mingzhang of Zhaotong Company, although he was very polite to him every time, even a little warm, but Li Shaowen still had some inexplicable feelings.

Zhou Muqing's car drove in, and happened to pass by Li Shaowen's car, neither of them noticed.Mu Qing's car arrived at the entrance of the inpatient department of the hospital. He had just got off the station and was about to go in through the door when there was the sound of leather boots from behind. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps came an officer in military uniform. .

Adjutant Zhang said: "Chairman Zhou stay here."

Zhou Muqing looked back, and Adjutant Zhang came with a slight smile: "President Zhou, you are a busy person, let me look for it. I went to Wande Firm first, and your subordinates told me several addresses before I finally found it. here."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Seeing Adjutant Zhang, Mu Qing knew that Commander Zhang must have invited him, so he asked straight to the point, "Brother looking for me?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go." Mu Qing looked up at the fourth floor, then turned around and got in the car to meet Commander Zhang with Adjutant Zhang.

"My dear brother, you are here." Commander Zhang stood up to greet him, and Adjutant Zhang backed out knowingly.

"Brother, what do you want me to tell you?" Mu Qing said respectfully.

Ever since Chief Zhang was promoted to a higher level and changed his official residence, Mu Qing almost stopped setting foot in the headquarters at will, trying to maintain a balance of not being too close or too far from him.As Commander Zhang became more powerful, Zhou Muqing became timid. He still remembered the teachings given to him by Mr. Zhou—to get too close to power is to play with fire.At this moment, he had already felt that Master Zhou was walking on thin ice when he said this, and he couldn't help but be cautious about what he said to Commander Zhang.Although he still called him big brother on his lips, he didn't dare to really regard him as big brother in his heart.

"Sit down, there is something I want to discuss with you for an idea today." Satisfied with his tone, Commander Zhang smiled and pointed to the sofa beside him.

Mu Qing sat down: "Brother, what's the matter? But if I have a drive, if I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"It's not that serious. Brother, you also know that it's still a year of famine. It's going to be autumn now, and the news from Nanjing is that this year's winter relief is likely to be held and rice grains will be distributed. There are still a few days before the winter relief In March, the rice you donated has almost been consumed, and we may need another charitable donation in order to maintain the operation of the porridge factory. Do you think the donation will be made within the Chamber of Commerce like last time, or in other forms?" Commander Zhang was a little worried.

"I think we can hold a singing and dancing charity performance." Mu Qing suggested, "You can find the city's literary and art experts to organize and direct the party, so that it is not limited to the chamber of commerce. People like gentry and celebrities in the city can be invited to participate, which is better than a simple business name." There is strength in numbers.”

This suggestion is extremely good.Commander Zhang thought it was wonderful, his eyes sparkled.In fact, Zhou Muqing also had selfish intentions, and the business community in Jiangcheng was complaining. If he made a charity donation at this moment, and added a small sum of money, he, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, would be the first to bear the brunt of the difficulties.Only by expanding the scope can the burden on the business community be lightened and the difficulties shared.

Commander Zhang thought for a while, and asked Adjutant Zhang to send Zhou Muqing back to think about how to proceed with this motion.

Not long after, a proposal appeared in the newspapers.
