He Xiaoting hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Xiaoting, tell us where the address is, and I'll send you there." Ye Wenjing said.

"No need, the place where I work is not far from here." He Xiaoting replied, "Just take you there."

Ye Wenjing and Li Rui looked at each other and nodded.

"Come on, you can eat more, it's not too late for us to go after we finish eating."

"Yeah." He Xiaoting nodded sensibly.

However, it was this action that made Li Rui notice something strange.

To be precise, it strengthened the suspicion in the letter.

The timing and location of He Xiaoting's appearance were full of coincidences. It was obvious that there was no one at the entrance of the alley at the beginning, but when they came out, He Xiaoting appeared there, as if she was just waiting for them.

At this time, there was also doubt in Ye Wenjing's eyes. As a policeman, her intuition seemed to have doubts about He Xiaoting's identity.

He Xiaoting is a weak woman with a heavy salute with her. If she had just been driven out, that would be reasonable, but the problem is that the place where she works is not far from here. If she can work in the downtown area in Shanghai, she would definitely not work in the factory. In this way, her identity is very questionable.

The three of them finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant together.

At this time, He Xiaoting became colder, her smile on her face faded a lot, and she walked towards the depths of the alley with her salute on her back.

"Xiao Ting, is there the place where you work?" Li Rui asked.

He Xiaoting said a word and continued walking forward.

Li Rui and Ye Wenjing followed her, each falling into silence.

After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them came out of another alley and came to a remote back street.

As soon as he came out, Li Rui saw the familiar business car.

"Xiaoting, where are you going to take us?" Li Rui had guessed that He Xiaoting's identity was definitely not a working girl, but he still asked on purpose.

This time, He Xiaoting did not answer again, but went straight to the business car.

The car door slowly opened.

"Mr. Lin, Officer Ye, please!" He Xiaoting changed her cold face. Although she was dressed simply, her temperament had completely changed.

Li Rui and Ye Wenjing looked at each other and sneered.

"Xiao Ting, it seems that you have all deceived us."

Li Rui and Ye Wenjing got into the business car and saw a young man sitting upright inside, handsome, handsome, but full of arrogance.

He crossed his legs and held a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw Li Rui and Ye Wenjing coming up, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy to meet you in this way."

This person is not apart, but the young commander of Xiliang, Meng Chaofan.

Li Rui glanced at Meng Chaofan and asked in a pretentious manner: "You are..."

"I will introduce myself, I am Xiliang, Meng Chaofan."

Ye Wenjing knew some of the wealthy families of the Celestial Empire. When he heard Meng Chaofan’s self-reported family, he was shocked.

"You are, Shaoshang Meng?!"

"Officer Ye, this is my first time meeting, please take care of me." Meng Chaofan smiled slightly.

"So it's the famous Young Marshal Meng. I wonder why the Young Marshal went to great lengths to get us here?"

Meng Chaofan looked at Li Rui and his eyes flashed. With his experience and experience, how could he not guess the purpose of Li Rui Qiaozhuang's disguise? He immediately knew that Ye Wenjing was not clear about Li Rui's true identity, so he smiled and said, "That's right, I just came to Shanghai and was about to show my strength here, so I need to recruit talents from all over the world."

"I can't understand what you said at Shaoshou Meng. Officer Ye is a talented person. I admit that I am just a worker. How can I catch your eye?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin is too modest. In fact, I met Mr. Lin by chance. Just now, my car met the three killers chasing your car, so I stopped and secretly observed the whole process. I found that you are very skilled. I am missing a general like you around me."

Of course, Meng Chaofan deliberately told Ye Wenjing that the purpose was to not arouse her suspicion, so as not to expose her true identity.

Li Rui also saw Meng Chaofan’s meaning and said tacitly: “So Young Marshal Meng wants to poach. You don’t need to do this personally. Just ask someone to call me.”

"Hahaha, I'm free anyway, so I asked Xiaoting to do a test, and the results proved that I didn't misunderstand you. You are not only good at skill, but also very caring. The most important thing is that you are meticulous and meticulous. I think you should have seen that Xiaoting has a problem with her identity in the morning, right?"

Li Rui nodded and said, "I do have some doubts, but I really didn't expect it to be you, Shaoshang Meng."

Ye Wenjing is a policeman, so she naturally has no interest in Meng Chaofan's olive branch. After chatting for a few words, she proposed to go back to the police station. Meng Chaofan followed the situation and put her down.

After Ye Wenjing left, Meng Chaofan lit another cigarette.

Only the cigarette butt in the entire carriage emitted a faint dark red from time to time.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here now, let's have a good talk." Meng Chaofan said.

"It seems that Young Marshal Meng already knows who I am." Li Rui said lightly.

"Li Rui, you should know who I am. With my Xiliang's intelligence ability, it is not difficult to find you. Of course, I also believe that you did not deliberately obstruct me from investigating you, otherwise I might need another boiling time. We are not talking secretly, but we came to you today to cooperate with you." Meng Chaofan said straight to the point.

"Cooperate?" Li Rui asked: "What are you planning to cooperate with me?"

"When today, the head of state is stupid, the country is in decline, the power is in full swing, and the wind and rain are swaying, look at this prosperous Shanghai, where the lights and wine are bright and wine, and the debauchery is the tragedy of rich people and meat, and the road is frozen to death. The story of Xiaoting I just showed you is not fiction, but her real fate. In those places you can't see, how many such girls are forced to be slaves and servants before they even reach adulthood."

"If you have anything, you might as well say it."

"Under the prosperity and prosperity, there is a huge crisis. The prosperity is just a prosperous era of the upper class. For ordinary people, it is just a peaceful and prosperous era, and there is no prosperous era at all. Even some people can't even have a peaceful and prosperous life." bΙＱμＧètν.còＭ

"Young coach is overstatement. If you are singing and dancing today, how can you say so badly?"

"That's because you live in the prosperous Zhongdu Shanghai. You have never seen other places starving and mourning everywhere. Ten years ago, Xiliang had a severe drought, and 100,000 refugees were forced to migrate, resulting in displacement. To this day, we still have dry bones everywhere on Xiliang Road. But even so, our heads of state are still arrogant and extravagant, offering to enjoy wealth and honor, and never allocate a penny to provide disaster relief. Let me ask, do you think there is still a future for such an empire?"

"this......"

Li Rui remembered that ten years ago, when the news media did report the drought in Xiliang, but the messages posted said that the disaster was not serious and were within the controllable range.

"What's ridiculous is that in order to whitewash the peace, Xun Tiansheng actually suppressed all reports. Don't you feel angry about such an angry and resentful way?"

"Shanghai Meng, what you mean, do you want to overthrow the Fourth Empire?"

Meng Chaofan spit out his eyes lightly and said, "That's right!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"

"I'm afraid, I won't come to you anymore. The test just now has proved that you are a person with a sense of justice, and we are fellow practitioners!"

"But if everyone is like you and rises up, I'm afraid more people will suffer."

Meng Chaofan shook his head and said, "This is why I came to you. My Xiliang army has always been strong, but I am also concerned about the suffering of the people and do not want the people to suffer from military disasters. I hope that we can cooperate and control more territory as much as possible before we have to raise our troops."

"I didn't expect that Young Marshal Meng was so kind-hearted, so I admire him."

"Li Rui, you should know why I came to you. This matter is not only about the two of us, but also about my Meng family, as well as you, your relatives and friends, and even millions of ordinary people all over the world."

"Since that's the case, if I don't agree, does it mean that I will never be able to get off the car?"

Meng Chaofan shook his head and said, "I know you have a close relationship with the Situ family. Situ Fei is my good brother. I will not be embarrassed by you when I think of my kindness."

"So that's the case. It seems that you know a lot about me."

"Although you are very hidden in Haizhou over the years, I have been paying attention to you and know that your relationship with the Situ family is not simple, which is why I took the initiative to look for you."

"Then why don't you just look for Situ Fei?"

“Have you heard of the catfish effect?”

Li Rui nodded.

"Every time Nordic fishermen return from sea, most of the sardines they catch are killed by suffocation and cannot be sold at a good price. In order to increase the survival rate of sardines, the fishermen racked their brains and finally came up with a solution: put several catfish in the fish tank full of sardines at the same time. When the catfish rushes around, the originally dead sardines will accelerate their swimming to save their lives, thus maintaining their vigorous vitality."

"You mean, I'm that catfish?"

"It should be said that this era needs people like you."

"But Young Marshal, you are more suitable for saving the world than me!"

"Hahaha, overthrowing the Fourth Empire was my lifelong wish. I naturally had no choice but to do so, but as far as the current situation is concerned, your role is crucial."

"But there is one thing you may not know. When I was in Haizhou, the head of state sent a secret envoy, and we already had a good foundation for cooperation."

"One time and another time, your enemy was Bai Heng at the beginning, but now the situation has changed. What you have to face is not only Bai Heng, but also Shangguan Liang, and more opponents in the future."

Li Rui nodded and smiled, "As the saying goes, a good man can help three people, I really need to consider your suggestions carefully."

Meng Chaofan extinguished Yantai and said, "Don't hesitate. The arrow has to be fired on the string. Although Shangguan Liang doesn't know your identity yet, you two will have to fight sooner or later. In addition, Bai Heng's people and He Zhenzhi's people have already arrived in Shanghai, so you have no choice."

"So fast?"

"Nonsense, do you think I'm joking with you!"

Li Rui looked at Meng Chaofan and said, "Cooperation is OK, but we have to make good decisions first. I don't want to be unhappy in the future."

"I only have territory and everything else, it's easy to discuss."

“It’s so refreshing.”

"Are there any questions?"

“Can there be a plan?”
