Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 394 Guo Xiaopeng's Past

After four years in prison, in that deserted place, Lin Xiaoqiang almost forgot what his life was like.

Stepping back into this land he had longed for, he found it even more prosperous than before, and he almost couldn't recognize whether it was Haizhou or not. For a moment, he even felt like he had arrived in Hong Kong Island.

Guo Xiangli also felt as if he were in another world. He was out, truly out! Although this freedom was accompanied by unease, it was freedom after all.

The two of them stared at the bustling night scene for a long time.

Yang Chun didn't feel anything. He was a killer and could only hide in a corner where people couldn't see him. Prosperity was destined to be against him. He just wanted to take revenge quickly and then hide in the corner again.

Yang Chun was the first to break the silence, "Boss Lin, Lao Guo, where are we going now?"

Guo Xiangli also habitually looked at Lin Xiaoqiang, who waved his hand and said, "Of course, let's find a place to have fun first, change your clothes, and have a good rest. Then we can discuss what to do next.

Lao Guo, is the best hotel in Haizhou City still the Longteng Hotel?

Guo Xiangli said uncertainly, "Boss Lin, I've also been in prison for over a year, so I'm not sure, but it should have been before I went in."

Lin Xiaoqiang taught him, "Old Guo, we're out now. Don't keep talking about those things from the past. It'll make people wary."

"Yes, yes, yes." Guo Xiangli slapped his forehead in regret. "Boss Lin, look at me, I'm getting old and confused. Further study! Before further study, it should be..."

"That's more like it." Lin Xiaoqiang waved his hand, "Then let's go to the Longteng Hotel and have some fun. But before we go, I need to go somewhere and withdraw some money."

The three of them hailed a taxi and headed straight for the bridge peninsula.

……

The Longteng Hotel is magnificent, with a floor paved with precious marble, each piece of which is polished as smooth as a mirror, as if it can reflect people's figures.

A huge and exquisite crystal chandelier hangs high on the ceiling of the lobby, and the dazzling light pours down, as spectacular as the Milky Way falling from the sky.

Those coming and going are still all kinds of well-dressed celebrities and dignitaries.

Wang Jingwen changed into a black Hepburn-style long dress and a black round hat, which made her, who was already tall and elegant, stand out even more.

Guo Xiaopeng was a little surprised and pulled out a chair for Wang Jingwen. "Ms. Wang, you are the only woman I have ever met whose temperament is as good as Audrey Henrietta's."

Wang Jingwen smiled and thanked him. A month ago, she was just an undercover police officer, and most of the people she dealt with were vicious drug dealers. But in just one month, she had transformed herself into a socialite.

If it weren't for Secretary Qi who provided her with a platform, she might have been a police officer her entire life and never understood what a real socialite was like.

Guo Xiaopeng sat down and handed over the menu, "What would you like to eat?"

Wang Jingwen casually opened the menu, which contained countless delicacies, including Chinese and Western food.

At the forefront, the Western food that everyone is pursuing nowadays is the mainstream.

Wang Jingwen clearly remembers that the influential Mr. Liang once said that Western food, after all, is just a fresh imported product, and it is still the Chinese food that we are proud of that can truly demonstrate the profound cultural connotation.

The long history, unique cooking skills, and the traditional etiquette and philosophical thoughts contained therein are all the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation.

When Wang Jingwen turned to the Chinese food, she paused slightly. "Mr. Guo, eight out of ten of these are newly released rare national protected animals. It seems that we can only eat Western food."

Guo Xiaopeng observed Wang Jingwen's expression and realized that she was not interested in Western food. He took the menu and ordered four or five dishes in a row, all of which violated the law.

"We are just diners. We only need to eat. As for whether we can eat and how to eat, the owner here will take care of it."

Wang Jingwen smiled and said, "I've heard that the Longteng Hotel is very powerful. Now I've seen it for myself."

Guo Xiaopeng seemed to be showing off when explaining, "The boss behind this hotel is surnamed Zhao. There is hardly anyone in Handong who can compare with him."

Wang Jingwen was very attentive and immediately realized who the other person was talking about. She exclaimed, "That's really a big shot."

Guo Xiaopeng said: "This world is so strange sometimes. Ordinary people can only strictly abide by the same rules and dare not cross the line, but a small group of people disregard the rules and laws as if they were nothing."

Wang Jingwen asked, "I heard that Mr. Guo's family also has a great figure?"

Guo Xiaopeng's expression changed slightly, then immediately returned to normal, a trace of pain in his eyes. "For me, this is probably an unforgettable day that I don't want to talk about."

……

The lights stretched the streets. Looking at the night view outside the car window, Lin Xiaoqiang was also lost in memories, thinking of the glorious past. "When the old man was still in power, my business was booming.

I bought two properties on the Kanqiao Peninsula in 1988. Back then, a villa on the peninsula cost about 500,000 yuan, and even a 10,000 yuan household was rare.

Guo Xiangli and Yang Chun are not ordinary people, so the value did not surprise them.

On the contrary, the taxi driver kept looking at Lin Xiaoqiang in the rearview mirror, thinking that he was bragging.

A piece of rags, and half a million, how many dishes? Is this how much he drinks?

Yang Chun took over the topic: "I've heard of Mr. Lin's story. People in the underworld say you were framed by one of your relatives?"

"Ah, what a shitty relative. He's just a bastard who grew up on my rice. No, he's an ungrateful wolf. An ungrateful wolf that can never be tamed."

……

Guo Xiaopeng gently rubbed the tableware in front of him and said calmly: "Yes, he is my stepfather. He used to be the deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and is a real powerful figure.

But in the eyes of the big shot family you mentioned, I am just an unwanted bastard, a poor pet dog, who throws a bone to me when they are happy, and kicks and scolds me when they are unhappy.

Guo Xiaopeng chuckled again: "By the way, now they might even give me another nickname, ungrateful wolf."

A subtle but hard-to-ignore fluctuation flickered across Wang Jingwen's previously calm eyes. In her mind, she seemed to see the childhood misfortunes of this gentle man.

Man is born good. This seemingly simple sentence contains endless profound meaning.

Every life that comes into this world is like a pure and flawless uncut jade at the beginning, carrying the most original kindness and innocence.

However, as the road of growth slowly unfolds, the various situations they experience and the various people and things they encounter are like the chisel in the hands of a sculptor, carving their souls bit by bit.

She remembered a saying: A hateful person must suffer tragically.

Will this "suspected" mastermind embark on the path of crime because of his unfortunate childhood?
