Chapter 652: Recognize
"Sir, this small private room is reserved for some regular customers by a small shop. It's not too late today, so no one is coming. Since you need it, I will arrange it for you first."
Luo Yaozu explained with a smile while leading the way in front.
"The boss is really good at doing business." Lu Xiyan nodded slightly and praised.
"Sir, this is the room, please come inside." After turning two or three turns, Luo Yaozu pushed open a door and made a welcome gesture.
"Boss, the road to your private room is really twists and turns, it's quite ruthless. I've walked over here and I don't remember the way back?" Lu Xiyan laughed and walked in.
"Sir, you are joking. My tavern is small and I have to use all the space to sit down more guests." Luo Yaozu stepped forward, took the tea cups that were buttoned on the table, and poured two teas, "Two, it's hot, drink a little tea to moisten your throat."
"Boss, this is the first time we have come. You probably saw it?"
"Yes, it's indeed the first time for the shop to see you."
"Then the boss won't introduce the signature dishes in your store. If we eat well, we will come to visit us often in the future." Lu Xiyan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said with a smile on his face.
"That's good. The restaurant cooks home-cooked dishes. Maybe the teacher is used to eating delicacies and it's good to taste fresh at the moment, but after eating it for a long time, he will feel tired."
"You boss is really good at speaking. You bring a few of your best dishes and give you a pot of good wine." Lu Xiyan laughed.
"Sir, there is no other wine in our tavern, just one type of knife burning in the Northeast. I wonder if you are used to drinking it?"
"Burn the knife, I heard it's the strong wine. Xiaolei, let's try it?" Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay."
"Then wait, I'll go to the kitchen and give you an order and serve you as soon as possible." Luo Yaozu bent down slightly, his face full of the formulaic smile of a businessman.
"gentlemen……"
Lu Xiyan gave Yan Lei a "silence" gesture, then stood up gently and looked around carefully. Of course, everything was taken care of.
Especially the table they sit on, the inspection is the most carefully.
Sure enough, under the table, in an inconspicuous corner, Lu Xiyan saw a small black box about the size of a medicine bottle, and it stuck to the bottom of the table.
Lu Xiyan asked Yan Lei to bend down. When he saw this thing, he was shocked and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.
...
"How is it, what are they talking about?"
"I didn't say anything, I only heard the sound of knocking on the table, and I was drinking water..."
"Continue to monitor and don't let go of any movement." Luo Yaozu ordered, and he was actually a little confused. Lu Xiyan shouldn't be in the Windsor Hotel and was under strict protection. How could he come to his tavern?
Could it be that the person who followed Xiao Hao yesterday had something to do with him?
If this is the case, what should I do? I am afraid I can't hide it anymore. Do you have to tell me about it?
Luo Yaozu was not fully prepared for this mentality either.
Too sudden.
...
In the small private room, Yan Lei dipped his fingers into tea and wrote on the table: "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Adapt to the situation." Lu Xiyan also wrote four words on the table.
"What if they drugged the meal?"
Lu Xiyan shook his head. Meng Hao tried his best to conceal his existence, so he would not be hostile to him. Otherwise, Meng Hao's personality would never allow it.
In the boss's eyebrows just now, Lu Xiyan seemed to see a trace of Meng Hao's shadow. Could it be that this boss is Meng Fanxing and the uncle of Meng Hao's two siblings Luo Yaozu?
The more I think about it, the more I feel it looks like. The expressions between the two people's eyebrows are really similar. They say that nephews look like uncles, and the words of the ancients are not unreasonable.
If he is Luo Yaozu, then he is also Meng Fanxing's uncle. According to his seniority, he should also call him "Uncle".
If it doesn't work out properly, it's still a family.
But this "uncle" is afraid that he will have another identity and can get such advanced stealing. I am afraid that it is not his own comrade. He still understands this. Is that the Military Control Commission?
He didn't know much about the situation of the Military Control Commission in Shanghai, except for some individual lurking groups, this is possible.
If Luo Yaozu was the Military Control Commission, why did he stay in this tavern? Does he have any secret missions?
Lu Xiyan couldn't guess it for a while.
Central government?
He is not very familiar with the Central Commission for Discipline. Almost all agents from the Central Commission for Discipline were incited by the '76'. Otherwise, how could the '76' develop and grow in such a short time? It would not be possible to rely on the Qing Gang thugs under Wu Sibao and Ji Yunqing alone.
If neither of these are, then Luo Yaozu's identity is hard to say. A person who has been missing for more than ten years suddenly returned.
He also has a mysterious identity and possesses the most advanced stolen equipment and is hiding in such a small tavern. What exactly does he want to do?
"The food is here, you two will eat first, and there is still something behind." As I thought, the door was knocked, and a guy came in with wine and food.
"Thank you."
"Xiaolei, come and try this burning knife." Lu Xiyan took the wine glass and poured a glass for Yan Lei and himself.
Yan Lei picked it up and took a sip. He felt like a ball of fire was passing by his throat. His face turned red in an instant, and a layer of sweat appeared on his nose and forehead: "Sir, what a spicy wine!"
"It's so spicy, of course. In the northeast, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen. Only this strong wine can drive away the cold." Lu Xiyan said, "However, drinking the hot knife in this summer is really not suitable."
"However, this wine is strong enough. If you drink it in winter, it will be very pleasant." Yan Lei recovered a little and exclaimed.
"This tavern is doing well and shouldn't go bankrupt so soon. We still have a chance." Lu Xiyan took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth. "Well, this dish is well made, the chef is quite authentic. It seems that the boss has put his heart into consideration."
"Sir, it's pretty good to try it occasionally. If you eat too much, you'll probably get tired of it." Yan Lei said.
"Well, Xiaolei, let's go."
“…”
"Boss, these two people are having a good meal, nothing unusual?" The guy in charge of the monitoring looked up and said to Luo Yaozu, who had a gloomy face.
"What do you know, keep listening." Luo Yaozu is not his friend. The sound from the headset is very heavy. The guy can't hear it, how could he not hear it?
The stolen hearing device under the table was discovered.
He was weighing whether to go over and tell the story, but once he identified his identity, how should he get along with each other next? Or pretending not to hear it and treat them as ordinary diners?
"Switch off the machine and don't listen anymore." Luo Yaozu finally made a decision. Some things, if you drag them, are really not the solution.
"Boss?" The guy was puzzled.
"We were discovered, didn't you hear it?" Luo Yaozu snorted coldly, "I'll go see them, don't do anything, these two people are not enemies."
"It's not the enemy..." The guy was a little confused.
Lu Xiyan was really hungry, and the Northeast cuisine in this tavern was quite suitable for his appetite, so he ate quite happily.
I walked with Yan Lei from time to time, and basically I really regarded myself as a diner coming to eat.
"Two gentlemen, are you satisfied with the restaurant in the shop?" Luo Yaozu pushed the door and smiled, and the wrinkles on his forehead came out.
"Not bad, not bad, boss, this dish is not only authentic, but also large in quantity, but also this wine is strong enough, good!" Lu Xiyan gave Luo Yaozu a thumbs up.
"Sir, you are a joke. You open the door to do business, and you want to have a reputation. If you make a big deal, it will not be of any benefit to me, right?" Luo Yaozu smiled, "If you are satisfied, you will come and take care of the store business next time."
"Does the boss really want me to come?"
"Business people, how can you drive customers out? Of course, I hope you can come often, sir." Luo Yaozu smiled, with an indescribable sincerity on his face.
"Okay, this meal was good, how much does it cost?" Lu Xiyan asked with a smile.
"I'll calculate it. Peanuts and broad beans are given to you by the small shop. The remaining four hot dishes should be 2 yuan and 30 yuan per bottle of wine. You can just give two yuan." Luo Yaozu said.
"Boss Luo, are you losing money in this business?"
"No, no, no, if you come back, wouldn't I still make a profit?" Luo Yaozu agreed, and suddenly his eyes shrank slightly. He agreed just now a little soon. Lu Xiyan's "Boss Luo" just now was like a thunderclap.
The identity was exposed.
How did this kid know, is it Xiaohao?
Yan Lei was also very surprised. He never listened to the boss' introduction from beginning to end, and he didn't know what the boss's surname was. How did the gentleman know?
If the person in front of me was Luo Yaozu, then some things that were hard to explain before might have answers now, such as the red envelope left by the mysterious guest at Meng Hao's engagement dinner.
Should I admit it or not?
Luo Yaozu was stunned for three seconds and finally smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to recognize me. Should I call you "Director Lu or my niece"?"
Yan Lei's eyes were staring at the boss, completely petrified. What's the situation? The owner of this Northeast tavern is Meng Fanxing and Meng Hao's uncle?
This is too dramatic!
"I should also call you uncle." Lu Xiyan nodded slowly.
"I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion. How did you recognize me?" Luo Yaozu smiled and asked curiously.
"You and Haozi's eyebrows are similar, and he missed in front of me, so I recognized you." Lu Xiyan explained.
"No wonder." Luo Yaozu nodded. He also guessed that something was wrong with Meng Hao, otherwise how could he be exposed to Lu Xiyan so quickly?
Of course, if the other party was not Lu Xiyan, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.
"This is Brother Yan Lei, right?" Luo Yaozu asked with a pointed finger at Yan Lei.
"Yes." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Dr. Lu, let's find a place to talk about it alone?" Luo Yaozu suggested.
Lu Xiyan nodded and said, "Just call me Xiyan."
