Chapter 288: Xia Family Banquet!
"Aiya, isn"t this Bi Jianren?"
At this moment, at the entrance of the villa, Xia Chuanliu saw a middle-aged man dressed in gray. He immediately went up to him and warmly greeted him. "You"re my childhood friend. We"ve known each other since we were young. But ten years ago, you borrowed 100,000 federation coins from me and disappeared without a trace. I couldn"t contact you, no matter what. You even moved your home. "I thought you were dead."
He grinned at Bi Jianren.
Back then, he had lent 100,000 federation coins to Bi Jianren. This was a friendship between friends, but he never expected that this fellow would do such a thing.
After borrowing the money, he ran away. His house had been moved away, and his phone number had been changed. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn"t contact him. It was obvious how angry Xia Chuanliu was. After all, he wasn"t a very rich person.
Losing 100,000 federation coins had severely injured an entire family. It had taken them years of hard work to recover.
Xia Ping also remembered that his father had stopped smoking during those years.
When he heard this, the gray-clothed, middle-aged man, Bi Jianren, had an embarra.s.sed expression on his face. I didn"t die. It"s just that there was an accident, and I haven"t been able to contact you. Actually, I"ve always remembered the 100,000 federal coins I borrowed from you, Chuanliu.
"Well, when I saw the news about you on TV, I immediately came over to pay it back."
He stared at Xia Chuanliu.
"Is that so?" Why did I hear that the police personally came to look for you? That"s why you came here so terrified?"Xia Chuanliu smiled at Bi Jianren.
Ever since he became the chief and his son Xia Ping was admitted to Yan Huang University, not only did Mayor Qin Fei call him, but all the leaders of Tianshui City also called him personally to celebrate, including the chief of the police.
Thus, he casually mentioned this matter to the Bureau Chief, and in the end, Bi Jianren was found the next day. This kid had never left Tianshui City, and he lived in a corner of Tianshui City. He even opened a restaurant and even kept a few lovers. His days were extremely comfortable.
"No, no, no. It"s my fault. It"s indeed my fault. But back then, it was very difficult for me. I owed a lot of money for gambling, so I had to resort to this. You can"t blame me for this. It took me many years to recover. Chuanliu, you should understand me.
Bi Jianren stared at Xia Chuanliu.
"You can talk to the police about this." I hope that they will forgive you. Xia Chuanliu clapped his hands. Five to six police officers immediately appeared and grabbed Bi Jianren.
Due to the large number of people at the banquet, even the police came to help maintain order.
"Xia Chuanliu, don"t go too far." No matter what, we"ve been friends for many years, and we grew up wearing the same pants. How could you treat me like this? Do you even have any humanity left in you? If this matter were to spread out, would you, Xia Chuanliu, lose all face? "Would anyone know that you, Xia Chuanliu, are a despicable, shameless, dirty, and malicious person who doesn"t care about old relationships?"
When Bi Jianren saw that his soft approach didn"t work, he wanted to use force and started cursing at Xia Chuanliu.
The reason why he was so frightened was because he was being sued by Xia Chuanliu in the name of fraud. If he were convicted, he would be imprisoned for at least seven to eight years, and he would even have to pay a large sum of money.
"Friends?"
Xia Chuanliu immediately laughed. This was a cold laugh. "Back then, I treated you as a friend and used up all my family a.s.sets to help you, but you obviously didn"t think so. Drag him out; don"t disturb the guests here.
"Yes!"
A few policemen immediately pulled Bi Jianren out. No matter how he shouted, it was useless.
Seeing Bi Jianren being dragged away, Xia Chuanliu remained unmoved and continued to entertain the guests.
"Chief Xia, well done." A shameless person like him should be called to the police station and arrested. If we continues to let such a shameless person continue to be in society, who knows what kind of crimes he will commit? Chief Xia, you are simply helping the people get rid of evil. A middle-aged man in a black suit with a big belly walked over with a flattering look.
"Oh my, isn"t this Bureau Chief Liu Guang?" Why are you here too? You even brought a gift. "You"re too polite; how can I accept this?" Xia Chuanliu instantly recognized that this middle-aged man was his previous City Administration Chief, Liu Guang, who had been transferred to the Farm Bureau for retirement.
Initially, he had been flattering Liu Guang for more than ten years and had always been looked down upon by this fellow. However, he did not expect that Liu Guang would still come over eagerly with an expensive gift in his hand, like a pug.
"No, no, no. Chief Xia"s son entering Yan Huang University is not only a joyous occasion for the Xia family but also a joyous occasion for Tianshui City. As a member of Tianshui City, I am deeply honored. "This is a small gift to show my respect." Liu Guang immediately handed over his gift.
Xia Chuanliu immediately recognized that this was the Tigerwolf Wine. It was made from the hearts of the Sabretooth Tiger and the Blacktooth Wolf, as well as all sorts of precious medicinal ingredients. It was extremely precious and delicious. A single bottle was worth one million Federation coins.
But now, Liu Guang had taken out a bottle as a gift. Without a doubt, this was a huge sum of money. He probably had to cut off a piece of flesh from Liu Guang"s body. Who knew how much he had to embezzle in order to earn it back?
"Is it actually Tiger Wolf Wine?" Xia Chuanliu"s eyes lit up. "Director Liu is too polite." How can I accept this? It"s too precious. You should take it back. "We can"t accept it."
Although that was what he said, he held on tightly to it with no intention of returning it.
"No, no, no. I already said that this is a gift. How can there be a reason to return something that has been given away? Director Xia, you don"t have to be so polite. "I still need Director Xia to take care of me in the future." Liu Guang"s face twitched, and he pushed the wine out with a look that said, "If you don"t want this high-end wine, I"ll fight you."
Xia Chuanliu blinked and looked at Liu Guang. "It"s too kind of you to say that." Director Liu is my old leader. He should be the one taking care of me. However, a bottle of Tiger-Wolf liquor is a bad sign. It feels a little lonely. As the saying goes, "good things come in pairs."
What the heck!
Liu Guang really wanted to punch Xia Chuanliu"s greedy face. What did he mean by "a little lonely"? Good things come in pairs. He clearly wanted him to give him another bottle of Tiger Wolf Wine.
This was not only cutting his flesh but also drawing his blood. How shameless! He had just become a bureau chief, yet he was so arrogant and blatantly asking for a bribe. Did he have any morals or shame?!
However, he did not dare to not send them off. After all, everyone knew that the Xia family was very impressive now. They had produced a mystical dragon-like figure. Their future achievements would be incredible. How could they offend such a person?!
"Director Xia is right. It was my fault for not thinking properly. I only sent one bottle over. I"ll get someone to send another bottle over later. I promise I won"t be alone. Liu Guang bared his teeth. His heart was bleeding.
After all, one more bottle meant an extra million yuan. That was not a small amount.
