Chapter 221 I've learned a lot. Rich people know how to have fun.
"I originally thought Mr. He wanted to find me to make friends, but I didn't expect he wanted to kill me."
Du Ruo looked up at the western-style building and said something with some emotion.
"Haha, everything has a price, right? Mr. Du, please~"
He Feng just smiled, then took two steps forward, made a gesture of invitation, walked in front to lead the way, and invited Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan in.
Xiang Yuanyuan hasn't said a word since she got off the plane until now. She just held Du Ruo's arm tightly and didn't want to let go at all.
When you walk into a Western-style building, if you look at it from the outside, it may seem old and just have a historical feel. But when you really walk inside, you will discover what true luxury is.
"Mr. He, the banquet is ready."
As soon as they entered the room, a woman in cheongsam was standing at the door. When she saw everyone coming in, she hurried to He Feng and spoke softly.
The woman had a curvy figure, and she was wearing a cheongsam with the hem slit to her hips. There was only one word that caught her eye: white. The extreme whiteness made her striking figure seem less eye-catching.
"Let's begin, Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, please take your seats."
He Feng nodded and took Du Ruo to the side hall. At this time, the woman in cheongsam had silently retreated.
There was a rectangular seat in the side hall with a total of six seats. Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan sat together, while He Feng accompanied them on the side. It was a bit surprising that Li Yu did not sit at the table, but stood beside the restaurant and started to get busy.
There is actually not much surprising about the restaurant. Perhaps the only thing that makes people want to take a second look is that one side of the restaurant wall is made of entire glass.
Behind the glass was a setting that looked like a huge underwater world, and there were lights reflected. Looking from the dining table, there was quite a lot of space inside. The only strange thing was that there were only a few small fish moving around in it.
Just as Du Ruo was looking behind the glass, wondering why there were no precious fishes inside, Li Yu had already brought up a set of ceramic wine utensils from the side and filled them with wine.
"Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, let's try this aged Moutai first."
He Feng picked up his glass and toasted the two of them.
Du Ruo didn't hesitate and picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Ok?"
After Xiang Yuanyuan drank a small glass of wine, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but let out a curious sound.
"This is aged Moutai, which is then blended with new Moutai. It has both the aroma of aged Moutai and the taste of new wine."
He Feng, who was standing by, seemed to understand why Xiang Yuanyuan was surprised, and stood up to continue filling the glasses for both of them.
At this time, Li Yu had already pushed a serving cart in from outside the restaurant and personally served the three people.
It can be seen that Li Yu today is actually a service staff.
This made Du Ruo even more curious. He Feng set the standards so high and made it so private. What kind of thing did he want to do this morning?
Logically speaking, such a wealthy man should not come to him for help. After all, in this world, there are very few problems that cannot be solved by money. And if there are, Du Ruo doesn't think he can solve them himself.
However, Du Ruo did not ask any more questions. He was being treated to delicious food and wine anyway, so he would not suffer any loss. He simply ate and drank well, quietly waiting for He Feng to speak.
"Mrs. Du, try this fish maw. It replenishes blood and nourishes the skin. It is a beauty product for ladies."
He Feng was not in a hurry to talk about things, but just kept introducing the wine and food. He Feng personally introduced each dish as it was served.
However, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan were not attracted by the food, but their eyes fell on the huge glass wall opposite.
Originally, Du Ruo was curious about why there were no big fish behind the glass wall. After all, it would be a waste if there was no landscaping or big fish behind such a large glass wall. But now Du Ruo felt that he was too narrow-minded.
I saw a figure swimming slowly inside the huge glass wall. She had long hair and was not wearing any diving equipment. She was wearing a swimsuit, which showed off her exquisite figure, fair skin and long thighs to the fullest. She was swimming slowly in the water, just like a mermaid swimming in the water.
Du Ruo had already recognized that behind the glass wall was the woman in cheongsam whom he saw when he entered the room.
Now looking at her performing in the water, her skin is indeed as white as jade, and her charm is far greater than when she was wearing cheongsam.
"Alas, I used to think that when people become rich, they can live in a more spacious house, eat better, and drink better. Now it seems that I was superficial."
Du Ruo couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Yeah, rich people really know how to have fun."
Xiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, also nodded, and her eyes could not help but follow the figure behind the glass wall. As she spoke, she picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Du Ruo before drinking it all in one gulp. It had to be admitted that the figure of the woman behind the glass wall in the water was really attractive. Not only would men be attracted to her, but even Xiang Yuanyuan, as a woman, could not help but sigh.
"Everyone pursues something different. Money is just a number. For ordinary people like me, what we pursue is the desire for control that comes with money."
He Feng just smiled and refilled their glasses with wine again.
Even Du Ruo understood something from this sentence. He withdrew his gaze from the glass wall, looked at He Feng, and took the initiative to ask.
"It seems that Mr. He has been controlled by someone recently. We have almost finished drinking. Let's talk about business. Let me make it clear first. If it is domestic affairs, don't talk about it. There are too many people and things involved. I don't want to bother."
As Du Ruo spoke, she picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of fish maw for Xiang Yuanyuan, and put it in her bowl.
"Mr. Du is very forthright, so I will not be shy about it any more. But before I talk about the matter, there is a document that I would like to ask Mr. Du to take a look at."
While He Feng was speaking, he nodded at Li Yu.
At this time, Li Yu handed a brown paper file bag to Du Ruo with both hands.
Since they were talking about business, Du Ruo didn't say much and reached out to take the document. He was very curious about what kind of matter he had to solve.
I opened the file bag and took out the documents inside. The first thing that caught my eye was a few words - Virgin Girl Sect, Dongji Zhenren, Xie Ziran.
Seeing this, Du Ruo couldn't help but look up at He Feng.
He Feng just made a gesture of invitation, indicating Du Ruo to continue watching.
In fact, this document was handed to him before National Day, and he was also given a task, but he did not take it seriously at the time.
But then, his company and many industries he invested in came under suppression, especially investment companies, where a lot of funds were stuck and investigated.
This made him extremely uncomfortable, especially during that period of time when the stock market was booming. He could have made a lot of money and made a lot of money in the stock market, but because of this incident, his investment company could only watch.
If it were just that, it would be fine. With his power in Shanghai, he would definitely be able to handle it quickly (after all, he also helps many people handle some funds, allowing those people to have extremely high legal returns), but the result is that no one knows the reason.
And as time went on, not only him, but even the big guys who had many interests involved with him started to talk to him, or rather, it was not just talk, but also threats.
The invisible pressure and coercion became more and more urgent, as if a big hand had grasped his throat and could end his life at any time.
He couldn't help but take it seriously. Only then did he re-examine the document and asked Li Yu to invite Du Ruo according to the task. The invisible sense of crisis told him that if he didn't obey, he would die, and his body would be torn into pieces and no one would be able to save him.
From the moment Li Yu went to the B&B to look for Du Ruo, all his previous investigations and financial audits were approved, and everything became the same as usual, as if it was just a routine investigation.
Only he himself knew how much loss this had brought him. In such a short period of time, so many people withdrew their funds from his investment company.
So he couldn't help but take it seriously. He had told Du Ruo before that he would transfer the house to Du Ruo, and he had not lied. He was really unsure what the connection was between that big hand and Du Ruo. If losing money could avoid disaster, he would not mind cutting off his losses.
Du Ruo was flipping through the documents, which contained a lot of information and photocopies of ancient books. They basically recorded the entire life of Xie Ziran, whom Du Ruo was most interested in, and some records about the Virgin Girl Sect.
It can be said that there are even the slightest clues in all kinds of classics from history, chronicles, special books, lists, records to catalogs.
Xie Ziran was the Taoist Kun who ascended to heaven in broad daylight during the Tang Dynasty. Dongji Zhenren was her Taoist name. She was also the founder of the Virgin Girl Sect. Du Ruo had never expected that someone could investigate Xie Ziran's life so clearly.
The more he flipped through the pages, the more surprised he was. At the same time, the figure of the old man he met near Xiang Yuanyuan's hometown gradually emerged in his mind.
He had only talked about Taoist longevity with an outsider, and he had used Xie Ziran as an example. He would never believe that there was no connection between the two. What's more, such information was definitely not something a businessman could collect in a short period of time.
Especially, there are things related to the Virgin Sect in it.
The more Du Ruo turned the pages, the more surprised he was, because in addition to explaining Xie Ziran, the book actually started talking about some things about the Virgin Girl Sect, and even introduced the Virgin Girl Sect's exercises and some important elixir recipes. These were all the later generations' summary of Xie Ziran's entire process of cultivation.
"Ok?"
Du Ruo even saw the name of the cultivation method and the name of the pill recipe. When he was about to read the detailed explanation at the back, he found that he had turned to the end. This made him look up at He Feng.
"Mr. Du, I just got this document not long ago. Only professionals like you would be interested in the contents inside. I have another piece of paper here that I got together with this file bag. Maybe what you want is inside it."
While He Feng was talking, he took out a piece of paper from his clothes pocket and placed it on the table. This piece of paper was what he got later. It was given to him by someone when Li Yu went to the B&B to look for Du Ruo and the investigation of his company was completed. It also gave him a message.
However, after he got the paper, he kept it close to him and didn't have the courage to open it and take a look. Now that the real owner has arrived, he took it out, just hoping that Du Ruo would agree immediately so that he could throw the hot potato away.
