C207 Meet an Old Friend
Zhou Hongzhi quickly took a step forward, bypassing Yuen Dongyuan and was about to shake hands with Lee Zhong. Seeing that Lee Zhong had no intention of shaking hands with him, he smiled and asked:
"How have you been all these years?"
"Thanks to you, you have been well." Lee Zhong said coldly.
It seemed like the two of them were old friends who wanted to see them. Something had happened between them in the past, and there were some conflicts between them.
Such an unusual action shocked all three of them.
Zhou Min saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly went up to smooth things over. She said, "Dad, tonight Yuen Xi was kidnapped to Back of the Tianloong Mountain. It was Uncle Lee Zhong who rescued her from those gangsters and found that those gangsters were equipped with advanced guns and cannons..."
"Oh, so that's how it is." After listening to his daughter's narration, Zhou Hongzhi was first shocked. Then he looked at Lee Zhong and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would still be as brave as before, saving my niece by yourself. You also provided us with an important clue. "
"I am Director Yuen's driver and bodyguard. It is only natural that I save Miss Yuen. It is only right and proper. As for what important clue you asked me to provide you with, I can only apologize to you. I am not interested in those things at all!" Lee Zhong said with an expressionless face, as if he was very uncooperative.
Zhou Hongzhi saw that Lee Zhong did not give him face in front of so many people. He did not seem angry. He looked at him with a smile and said:
"Lee Zhong, it has been so many years since we last met. You are still the same as before. Your temper hasn't changed at all."
"This is called changing one's nature. It's not like you. You are like an old fox, becoming more and more experienced." Lee Zhong said sarcastically.
Zhou Hongzhi did not make a sound and only chuckled.
In all these years, this was the first time someone had said that he was an old fox in front of him. Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still didn't show it.
Zhou Hongzhi and Lee Zhong had served in a special force. Zhou Hongzhi was the captain, and Lee Zhong was a soldier.
One night, when Zhou Hongzhi was leading the team to ambush a group of gunmen, Lee Zhong was found by the gunmen because of the smoke. He was the first to shoot their men, and one of his comrades was shot.
After a fierce battle, some of the gangsters were killed on the spot, and some were arrested. However, their comrade had lost too much blood, and his treatment was ineffective. He had lost his life.
In a fit of rage, Zhou Hongzhi directly reported it to the big boss of the army. The big boss, Long Yan, was furious and immediately drove Lee Zhong out of the special forces.
After Lee Zhong left the army, he went to Nanhua alone and applied to be a security guard at Yuen Dongyuan's company. Yuen Dongyuan saw that he was loyal and good at fighting, so he promoted him to be his driver and bodyguard.
Since then, under Lee Zhong's personal protection, Yuen Dongyuan no longer had any worries. He devoted himself to work, and the Yuandong Group became stronger and stronger.
All these years, Lee Zhong had always felt guilty about his comrade who had died because of him. At the same time, he was still upset about Zhou Hongzhi stabbing him in the back.
However, what he didn't know was that the situation at that time was very serious. If Zhou Hongzhi didn't expel him, Lee Zhong would receive an even more severe punishment.
Some people even suggested sending Lee Zhong to military court. Zhou Hongzhi did this to protect him.
Lee Zhong originally thought that he would never see Zhou Hongzhi again in his life. He never thought that they would meet in a place like this.
When he thought about how he was chased out of the army by Zhou Hongzhi, he felt a little angry in his heart. Therefore, he did not give Zhou Hongzhi any face.
Zhou Min knew her father's hot temper. When she saw that the two of them would quarrel as soon as they met, she was worried that they would quarrel outside. She hurriedly suggested,
"Don't argue with each other. Let's go to uncle's house to talk!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go to our house to talk." Yuen Dongyuan agreed.
He also realized that his brother-in-law and Lee Zhong were old acquaintances, and there were some conflicts between them. Although Lee Zhong was his driver and bodyguard now, there was a personal grudge between them. He was still too embarrassed to intervene, so he just stood aside and did not say anything.
Seeing his niece stepping down the stairs for everyone, Yuen Dongyuan stretched out his hand and bowed to Zhou Hongzhi to invite him. "Brother-in-law, you haven't come to my house for a long time. Please!"
Yuen Dongyuan led everyone to the door of Mansion Number 6. He used the key to open the door and pushed it in.
At this moment, Liu Hongli was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. When she saw Zhou Hongzhi and others following Yuen Dongyuan into the house, she quickly came up to them and asked eagerly,0
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"
Zhou Hongzhi smiled and said, "What is it? Don't you welcome us to your home?"
"Brother-in-law, look where you are. We can't even invite you here." Liu Hongli made an inviting gesture and pointed at the sofa in the living room. She said, "Everyone, please take a seat!"
Zhou Min stood behind her father and coldly looked at Liu Hongli. To be honest, she was the same as Yuen Xi. She did not approve of this woman who was about the same age as her to marry her uncle and had a negative feeling towards her.
Liu Hongli's gaze fell onto Zhou Min and pretended to have just discovered her. She said in an ingratiating manner, "Captain Zhou, so you are also here. Quickly take a seat!"
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person with one's hand.
Zhou Min felt that there was no need to make enemies with Liu Hongli and replied, "We are family. There is no need to be so polite. Just call me Min!"
"Hmph, you only know how to suck up." Yuen Xi scoffed at Liu Hongli and reached out to grab Zhou Min's arm and said, "Eldest Sister, ignore her. Let's sit down first and then talk!"
As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Min and took the lead to sit on the bench and sofa in the living room.
Yuen Dongyuan smiled awkwardly and led Zhou Hongzhi to sit beside Zhou Min.
Zhou Hongzhi saw that Lee Zhong was still standing there. He smiled at him and said, "Old Li, come and sit!"
Lee Zhong said coldly, "You are a big shot. It is not appropriate for me to sit on the same level as you. It is better to stand."
"Old Li, thank you for your hard work." Yuen Dongyuan saw that Zhou Hongzhi was a little embarrassed and quickly tried to smooth things over. He said, "We are all family, so there is no need to treat us as outsiders. Come and sit together. By the way, tell my brother-in-law what you know in Heavenly Dragon Mountain. "
Since the boss had spoken, Lee Zhong felt that there was no need to put on airs, so he reluctantly sat beside Zhou Hongzhi.
Liu Hongli saw that everyone had taken their seats, and tactfully took out a few disposable cups. She poured a cup of fruit juice for everyone, then stood to the side and listened to them speak.
"Min, tell me, what exactly is going on?" Zhou Hongzhi was the first to speak.
"It is like this..." Zhou Min simply explained how Yuen Xi was kidnapped to a courtyard in Back of the Tianloong Mountain and how everyone went to rescue Yuen Xi.
After listening to Zhou Min's narration, Zhou Hongzhi felt that this matter was quite serious, so he said to Lee Zhong, who was sitting next to him.
"Old Li, can I talk to you alone?"
