Chapter 157: Bicycle for Horse and Cannon
Chuyue Hotel is close to Suzhou River and has an elegant environment.
There are six floors in total, and the first and second floors are restaurants.
The third to sixth floors are guest rooms, which are exquisitely decorated.
At this time, there were many luxury cars parked in the square in front of the hotel, which was far from the past.
Two rows of bodyguards in black suits stood in front of the hotel with their arms crossed.
Whenever a guest came in, they immediately bowed and greeted, cheering in unison:
"welcome!"
"Sister Long has made such a big fuss?"
Xiang Chu was delighted and walked up the stairs slowly, one step at a time.
Zhang Shan hurriedly followed, carrying two suitcases.
The bodyguards turned around and were stunned when they saw Xiang Chu.
"Mr. Kui is back?"
The bodyguards exclaimed in trembling voices.
Xiang Chu said coldly: "Why are you all standing there like idiots? Call the hotel manager Long Ling over here!"
The strange thing is that no one moved.
Zhang Shan shouted, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Mr. Kui said?"
The leading bodyguard saw that Xiang Chu only had two people, and sneered: "This is Jing Ye's territory now. We don't know Kui Ye, he is a fake. Besides, who do you think you are? How dare you roar here?"
"You are totally disrespectful!"
Zhang Shan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these people would dare to disobey even Mr. Kratos. He put down the suitcase and started to argue.
"It's normal that you don't know me, Master Kui, but I can teach you."
Xiang Chu said coldly, suddenly rushed forward and kicked hard.
"Bang!" There was a sound.
He kicked the leading bodyguard into the hotel door.
Xiang Chu glanced at the bodyguards at the door and shouted:
"roll--!"
"Yes!"
The bodyguards responded in unison, turned around and ran away.
"You dare to rob my restaurant? You think you can't die fast enough!"
Xiang Chu roared loudly and walked into the hotel door, which was the lobby.
There were more than a dozen tables in the hall, and it was very lively, as if it was a birthday party.
As Xiang Chu walked into the hall, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
The leading bodyguard was about to get up when Xiang Chu kicked him away, causing him to crash onto the birthday boy's main table.
The birthday boy was only about 40 years old, with a face full of fat and a big belly. It was obvious that he was using the birthday banquet to make money.
Dishes, food and wine were splashed all over the place, making that table and the people at the adjacent tables extremely embarrassed.
Everyone shrank back and exclaimed in a low voice:
"He is Thousand Faces Kui Ge?!"
"Call him Master Kui! He is Master Kui."
Xiang Chu walked towards the main table with his hands behind his back, and everyone made way for him.
The only birthday star left under the pine and crane painting is the fat pig-like birthday boy.
Xiang Chu said in a deep and powerful voice: "Jing Gang! I didn't beat you to death three years ago, but now you come over and occupy my restaurant. Do you want to die?"
But Jing Gang said confidently: "Zhang Da Kui! I am a close friend of Deputy Station Chief Feng of the Military Intelligence Station. No! Now it should be Captain Feng of the Party Affairs Department. I am not afraid of you..."
"Crack! Crack!"
Xiang Chu rushed forward like a gust of wind, shooting arrows left and right, beating Jing Gang into a pig's head, and roaring as he beat him.
"That person is nothing! Didn't your master Huang Rong teach you that? You have no respect for your elders."
After he finished speaking, he pushed open the window with one hand, picked up Jing Gang, and threw him directly into the Suzhou River outside.
"Oh my god! That's amazing."
Everyone was so scared that they left this dangerous place.
The leading bodyguard wanted to get up and run away, but Xiang Chu gave Zhang Shan a look.
Zhang Shan understood what he meant, rushed forward and punched and kicked him, then stepped on him.
Xiang Chu nodded approvingly and said coldly: "Tell me! What's your name?"
The bodyguard begged for mercy: "Master Kui! Zhang Shi is blind and does not recognize a great man. Please spare me."
Xiang Chu called the waiter, took a glass of red wine, and said while drinking: "Zhang Shi! I want to ask you, where is Long Ling, the manager of my store?"
Zhang Shi said timidly, "Master Kui! A year ago, Jing Gang gave money to Feng Shurong, and Feng Shurong found a random excuse to arrest Long Ling and your bodyguard Li Shan and put them in Tilan Prison. Oh, and he also occupied your warehouse No. 9 at Huangpu Wharf."
"What? These Jing Gang and Feng Shurong are damned!"
Xiang Chu was so angry that his veins were bulging, and he really wanted to kill Jing Gang and Feng Shurong right now.
After a long while, he calmed down and asked:
"Who else did Jinggang arrest?"
Zhang Shi shook his head and said, "No more! After Master Rong heard about it, he warned him, and he didn't dare to occupy it anymore."
"This Huang Rong knows some etiquette."
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered,
"Zhang Shan! Let him get up. Zhang Shi! You can't leave until I finish dealing with things here."
"Yes!"
Zhang Shan and Zhang Shi nodded in unison.
Xiang Chu walked to the front desk. The person in charge of the front desk was Jing Gang's man, who had already slipped away.
He picked up the front desk phone, dialed the Shanghai Intelligence Station, and was connected to Wang Senwu's office.
"Master! I'm in Shanghai now. I want to ask you for a favor."
Wang Senwu was worried about not meeting Xiang Chu, but he was relieved when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Boy! I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you, but you ran away so fast. Tell me! What can I help you with?"
"Don't worry about the welcoming banquet. I'll treat you later."
Xiang Chu smiled, paused, and turned to the topic of conversation.
"Master! Two of my relatives and friends in Shanghai were bribed by Feng Shurong and were arrested and thrown into Tilan Prison on some random charge."
Wang Senwu was shocked and asked, "Is this true? Feng Shurong has done something like this before."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's true. Don't worry, I have witnesses. After all, this is a military case. Please call Tilan Prison and send a military vehicle to Chuyue Hotel. I will pick him up right away."
"No problem! I'll do it right away."
Wang Senwu immediately expressed his opinion, paused, and said in a serious tone,
"But you have to protect the lady this time. If anything goes wrong, both of us will lose our heads."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "As long as you help me with this matter, you don't need to worry about Madam's safety."
Wang Senwu laughed and said, "Why does it feel a bit like playing chess, replacing the bicycle with the knight and the cannon? Haha!"
"Let's play a game with you later, haha!"
Xiang Chu also laughed, feeling that Wang Senwu was indeed an open-minded person.
Hearing that Mr. Kui had returned, all the service staff of Chuyue Hotel gathered in the lobby.
Most of them were elderly people from the hotel, and they all said:
"Master Kui! You're back. That's good now."
"Master Kui! Please rescue Manager Long as soon as possible."
Xiang Chu ordered loudly: "Don't worry, everyone! Manager Long will be back soon. The hotel will be closed and cleaned for the next two days. All guests must check out before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. No guests will be allowed to eat in. Go and get busy."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Everyone knows that this Mr. Kui is the real owner of Chuyue Hotel, and he always has the final say.
Xiang Chu released Zhang Shi and took Zhang Shan to his former room on the top floor.
This room has been renovated by Jing Gang, who replaced it with a big bed, desk and chair, red carpet, bathtub, etc., making it very luxurious.
He looked at the other rooms, which had also been redecorated and looked new and elegant.
"It looks like this guy did something for me!"
Xiang Chu couldn't help laughing and told Zhang Shan,
"Xiao Zhang! Go to the first floor lobby to eat first. After dinner, you will be responsible for the security at the hotel entrance."
"understand!"
Zhang Shan smiled and nodded, then hurried out of the room.
Xiang Chu changed into a military uniform, carried a suitcase, and walked from the back door of the hotel to the street outside the front door.
Soon, a military vehicle drove over.
The driver was the same lieutenant who had picked us up at the train station.
Xiang Chu got in the car and told him to drive to Tilan Prison.
