It's broken! I was targeted by the villain after the apocalypse
Chapter 53 Trap
That's how rumors spread.
Liu Jinan, who was catching up on his sleep, didn't know that Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu had already started arguing about who would be the top and who would be the bottom between him and Duan Haiping.
He slept until noon and felt refreshed, all the gloom disappeared.
After dinner, he received an invitation from Chief of Staff Lin, inviting him to attend the celebration banquet tonight.
"Mr. Liu, Chief of Staff Lin asked me to tell you, please do me the honor."
Liu Jinan quickly glanced at the messenger's shoulder straps.
One bar and three stars, this is the rank of captain, equivalent to company commander.
Judging from the color of the shoulder straps, it should be the Army.
Chief of Staff Lin really made a big fuss. He even sent out the company commander just to deliver a message.
"Okay, please tell Chief of Staff Lin that I will be there on time."
Liu Jinan knew that he had to attend the banquet. If he offended Chief of Staff Lin, he might not be able to stay in Yuncheng for even a day.
What's more, the gold that Chief of Staff Lin promised him had not yet been delivered, and he was reluctant to leave.
Before leaving, the company commander told Liu Jinan: "Chief of Staff Lin was furious when he learned that your warehouse had been robbed. He not only arranged troops to patrol your other warehouses 24 hours a day, but also asked the police to do their best to find the thief."
His heart skipped a beat, but Liu Jinan remained calm and chuckled, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Lin. Please convey my gratitude to him."
After the company commander left, his face suddenly turned ugly.
"How did Chief of Staff Lin know about the warehouse?" Hu Jianye couldn't figure it out. "He couldn't have known us before, right?"
Zhang Yaoyao: "It's too late to think about this now. Chief of Staff Lin has blocked our retreat in order to force An An to join his camp."
At this point, Liu Jinan was actually not surprised by what Chief of Staff Lin did. The other party must have investigated him a long time ago.
What Chief of Staff Lin values is his healing ability. Since the other party is unwilling to let him go, he might as well take the initiative to attack.
"Boss, tell us what you want to do, we will listen to you." Wang Mazi was very single, "If anyone dares to bully you, the four of us brothers will never let him go."
"That's right!" Black Whirlwind stood up excitedly, "Who cares if he's the chief of staff or the commander? At worst, we'll just do it!"
Liu Jinan couldn't help but grin. Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of.
With so many companions around him, the worst that could happen is that he could drive an off-road vehicle into some secret spiritual treasure realm to hide and avoid the spotlight.
"madness!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person who was speaking, wearing a neat, high-end suit and shining leather shoes, striding towards them.
It was Zhao Simo who was dressed up carefully.
"Excuse me, but there are still six hours before the dinner starts and you're already dressed so seductively. There's no surprise at all." Liu Jinan admired with amusement.
Zhao Simo's lips curled up slightly. He was already handsome, and after dressing up carefully, he looked even more elegant.
Unfortunately, the filter was shattered as soon as he opened his mouth: "Sweetheart, don't you think I look good in this look? This outfit is specially prepared for you."
"That's not necessary," Liu Jinan opened his fingers to stop him, "I can't bear it."
Probably expecting Liu Jinan to refuse, Zhao Simo was not angry, and looked around at everyone with his fox eyes.
Then he sat down next to Liu Jinan and said something surprising: "You are all Xiao Tiantian's relatives and friends. It just so happens that I am using water instead of wine. Welcome myself to join your big family."
Liu Jinan: “…”
He looked at the old fox suspiciously as he drank the water in the cup. "Who asked you to join us? Sorry, I declined."
"That won't do. No one else has any objections, only you do." Zhao Simo crossed his arms, "If they want to chase me away, they won't let me stay either."
Just as Wang Hu and the others were about to speak, Zhao Simo took out ten gold coins from his pocket and said, "It's just a greeting gift, not a token of respect."
Excluding Liu Jinan and Zhao Simo, there were exactly ten people present, and each of them received a gold coin.
Since he was too lenient towards others, no one could say anything.
Only Xu Zhaoxin threw the gold coin back to Zhao Simo: "I'm sorry, I'm a firm Duan (Duan) Liu (Liu) party."
Yang Shu also returned the gold coins: "Jin'an is my lifesaver. If he doesn't want to, I don't want to either."
"You two are worrying too much. It's just a gift. I'm not asking you to accept me for gold coins."
After stuffing the gold coins into their hands, Zhao Simo turned his gaze to Liu Jinan: "Xiao Tiantian, didn't we cooperate very well in the hospital?"
"That's different." Liu Jinan shook his head, "We are not the same kind of people."
He knew very well that Yuncheng and even the Northwest Military Region were Zhao Simo's home ground, and Zhao Simo would not follow him away from Yuncheng.
In this case, it would be better to keep Zhao Simo out from the beginning.
Zhao Simo understood Liu Jinan's meaning, but he still insisted: "Let's talk about the future later."
Liu Jinan still didn't want to get involved with the old fox.
But he heard the other party's bewitching test: "Do you want to get out of Chief of Staff Lin's control? That old guy is staring at you every day, you must be fed up with him, right?"
"Do you have any idea?"
"of course."
Liu Jinan admitted that he was a little tempted. He knew that it was impossible for him to compete with the Yuncheng Legion by his own strength.
He filled a glass of water for Zhao Simo: "Tell me about it?"
A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Simo's eyes: "Chief of Staff Lin is at best just a deputy regiment commander. What if someone above him takes action?"
"For example?" Liu Jinan thought that Zhao Simo had some high-ranking official acquaintances.
Unexpectedly, the other party pointed at him and said, "Me."
Liu Jinan: "...Goodbye."
He shouldn't have listened to a word this old fox said.
Zhao Simo was not in a hurry to get Liu Jinan to agree. He just said calmly: "You can take your time to think about it. Our cooperation will always be reserved for you."
"By the way," he placed an item in Liu Jinan's palm, "If others have it, my little sweetie must have it too."
Liu Jinan looked at the long strip wrapped in oil paper in his hand, confused. It felt heavy.
He slowly opened the package.
There was a golden gold bar inside!
……
In the evening, the car that came to pick up Liu Jinan to attend the banquet stopped in front of their camp. The driver was the company commander brother whom he had met in the morning.
Liu Jinan also dressed up a little, but he was far less flamboyant than Zhao Simo. He simply changed into a simple white shirt that showed off his slender figure.
The car arrived at the banquet hall soon.
As soon as he got off the car, the sounds of gongs and drums suddenly rang out, and soldiers in military uniforms and drummers in brocade clothes circled around Liu Jinan.
When he asked, he found out that this was the famous Dengrong drum in the local area.
Whenever someone made a contribution, the common people and the army's art troupe would jointly beat the honor drum and cheer for the meritorious person.
The drummer lit two strings of firecrackers with a ten-thousand-bang volume. In an instant, the firecrackers blasted and fireworks filled the sky.
At the end of the red carpet, on the door of the banquet hall, there was a banner hanging.
"Congratulations to Liu Jinan for winning the first-class individual merit!"
The cheers and applause almost drowned out Liu Jinan.
Zhao Simo appeared behind him without knowing when: "Did you see it?"
"What?" Liu Jinan was stunned.
"When you stood here, you had already fallen into his trap," Zhao Simo's eyes were deep, "a trap called honor."
