Chapter 107 Wang Ye Seeks Help
The dinner Xianhong raised his glass with a smile on his face and said:
"Come, Brother Jiang Lan, I'll toast you. Although I didn't leave you in my Biyou Village, if you want to come here in the future, the gate of Biyou Village is always open to you."
Jiang Lan also raised his glass, but his glass was filled with water.
"Yes, thank you, Village Chief Ma, for taking care of Chen Duo."
"Don't say that." Ma Xianhong raised his glass and drank it all, then continued, "Chen Duo is my partner. In the final analysis, we are just helping each other, not taking care of each other."
Chen Duo sat next to Jiang Lan, just smiled and didn't say anything.
She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs from the table, turned around and passed the chopsticks under her body, and said softly:
"Come on, Chen Junyan, eat some ribs."
Chen Junyan? This name seems familiar.
Jiang Lan looked under Chen Duo.
I saw a little yellow dog wagging its tail happily and gnawing on the ribs placed in the puppy's bowl.
Jiang Lan's mouth twitched, and he pointed at the little yellow dog and said, "Is this Chen Junyan?"
"Yes." Chen Duo raised her head with a smile on her face, "Chen Junyan was the first person I met in the bunker. You have also met him."
Hearing this, Jiang Lan suddenly felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, when he was in the bunker, he didn't talk much to other people because he was tormented by negative emotions.
Including Chen Duo, it was only after the two of them had been in contact for a long time that they gradually became familiar with each other.
Otherwise, this little yellow dog... might be called Jiang Lan.
Just as Jiang Lan was thinking, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
When Jiang Lan took out his cell phone and saw the caller information, he was slightly startled, and then said to Ma Xianhong and Chen Duo:
"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."
The two nodded slightly, and Jiang Lan pressed the answer button.
"In trouble?"
"It's troublesome. It's a big trouble." Wang Ye's voice came from the other end of the line, "Old Jiang, my family is being targeted."
"Your family?" Jiang Lan was a little surprised. "Don't they know your family's background?"
Wang Ye’s father, Wang Weiguo, was born into a military family and later became a top-tier businessman.
And he's not just an ordinary top-level person, he's the kind of person who can make the news just by going out for a meal.
Not to mention that the entire imperial capital could tremble with just a stomp of his feet, but his power was definitely not something that ordinary people could imagine.
The most important thing is that Wang Weiguo is an ordinary person.
Jiang Lan had thought that Wang Ye might get into trouble because of Fenghou Qimen, but he really didn't expect that group of people could be so crazy.
"They probably knew, but they probably didn't expect me to find out." Wang Ye continued on the other end of the phone: "When I first got home, the house had been turned inside out and many eavesdropping devices were placed. Although the things in the house were finally restored, there were still some clues left behind."
"Is there any danger?" Jiang Lan asked.
"Not yet, but someone is watching near my house." Wang Ye sighed, "I didn't want to look for you at first, but that group of people... ah... they are so fucking crazy, you know? Not only my family, but now whenever I go out, there will be three or four people following me. Can you bear it?"
After a little thought, Jiang Lan said, "I'm in Guizhou now. It will take until tomorrow to get to Beijing. Can you hold on?"
"One day will definitely be no problem!" Wang Ye's tone was a little more relaxed. "I have never asked anyone for anything in my life. Old Jiang, if the matter is resolved this time, you can set any conditions you want."
Jiang Lan curled his lips.
"If you say so, then I won't go."
He helped Wang Ye without ever thinking about getting any benefit from it.
"Hey, don't worry." Wang Ye said quickly: "Isn't it okay if I don't thank you? How about this, come over here, after we solve the problem, I will take you to have a good time in the imperial capital, isn't it okay?"
"If that's what you say, fine."
"Thanks……"
Jiang Lan didn't reply and just hung up.
Then, he said to Ma Xianhong and Chen Duo:
"Something happened with my friend. I have to leave now." Jiang Lan's cell phone was loud, so Ma Xianhong heard the conversation between him and Wang Ye just now.
Looking at Jiang Lan, Ma Xianhong said:
"No problem, I'll ask someone to drive you there." At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his gaze to Chen Duo: "Others are not familiar with him, so why don't you take him to the county town?"
Chen Duo touched Chen Junyan's dog head and said softly, "Okay."
Seeing Chen Duo agreed, Ma Xianhong looked at Jiang Lan and continued:
"Jiang Lan, I really like you. If you want, Biyou Village welcomes you anytime."
Jiang Lan nodded slightly.
He could see that Ma Xianhong really wanted him to stay in Biyou Village.
He must have said that sentence at least three or four times.
"Don't worry, if I really want to join an organization, I will give priority to Biyou Village."
"Okay!" Ma Xianhong raised his glass again, "Just for what you said, I'll toast you another glass!"
"Village Chief Ma, I should leave now."
Ma Xianhong said, "Don't wait so long, eat first and then leave."
Jiang Lan thought about it and realized that he would have to take a car and then a plane, and he might not have time to eat on the way.
Under the influence of Taotie over the years, Jiang Lan's appetite is actually much greater than that of normal people, but it is not difficult for him to control this appetite.
But man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. It would be uncomfortable not to eat, right?
"it is good."
……
Twenty minutes later, at the entrance of Biyou Village.
"I won't send it to you."
"Thank you, Village Chief Ma. Now go back."
Jiang Lan, who was sitting in the van, waved his hand and then looked at Chen Duo who was sitting in the driver's seat.
The car started, turned a corner on the dirt road, and then drove steadily towards the county town.
"I didn't remember you being able to drive before. Did you learn it after you came out of the bunker?"
"No, I haven't learned it." Chen Duo looked straight ahead, holding the steering wheel with one hand.
Jiang Lan was silent for a while before he said:
"You don't have a driver's license?"
"No." Chen Duo said as a matter of course.
Jiang Lan: "..."
He asked tentatively: "How about I drive?"
Chen Duo looked at Jiang Lan with some doubt, then he understood and said:
"Don't worry, there are no police here, no one is in charge."
After hearing her say that, Jiang Lan thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Where do the police come from in this mountain?
Not to mention the mountains, even the county town is very small. In any case, when Jiang Lan came here, he didn't see any traffic police.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Lan said:
"Well, just don't flip the car over."
There was a moment of silence in the car.
After a while, Chen Duo was the first to speak: "How is Uncle Liao...now?"
"Liao Zhong? I don't know. I haven't contacted him." Jiang Lan asked, "You haven't contacted him either?"
Chen Duo tightened her grip on the steering wheel until her knuckles turned white.
"I……"
