Chapter 045 making friends

The two were like-minded and talked until late at night. They changed from strangers they first met to friends who called each other brothers. The word "like-minded" was described by Daniel, but behind Huo Xiu's smile, he was luring Daniel step by step into his carefully designed trap.

"Don't drink." Annie said to Huo Xiu, who was about to pour the wine, and her tone was a little angry, "That's enough. Drink more and be careful when you climb back."

Her words were both comforting and a little temper, which made Daniel, who was half drunk, treat each other differently. He originally thought that Anne was just an ordinary woman beside Huo Xiu. When did rich children like them not have a group of women around him? But judging from Huo Xiu's performance, this is different in nature.

"It's all up to you." Huo Xiu nodded, "Daniel, we did drink a little too much. Now that my stomach is bloated, that's all for tonight's party. Next time we are destined to get together!"

"I will, I will." He stood up and waved a man. "Come on, send my good friend to the car and find someone to drive for them."

"Yes, sir."

"No! Come back!" Daniel asked him to come back again, "You don't have to go. Now go and help me find a driver. I'll take my two friends back in person. Hurry up!"

"Brother Huo, Miss Romanova, I'll see you off." Daniel is now full of alcohol and walks a little shaky. Ho Xiu and Anne followed him and walked into the special elevator.

Listening to Daniel's miscellaneous words all the way, the elevator came to the parking lot on the first floor.

It's already midnight. Except for the lively casinos, pedestrians on the street have become rare. Only neatly arranged cars in the parking lot are waiting for their owners. The three walked slowly, and Anne took Huo Xiu's hand and wrote a few words in the palm of his hand.

When they walked near Huo Xiu's sports car, several people in black jackets and hats came out from the shadow behind the pillar. They pulled the brim of their hats so much that they couldn't see clearly, but they had bad intentions, which made the drunken Daniel secretly alert.

"Please stay!" A deep voice came, and seven or eight fierce men surrounded them.

"Are you on that road?" Daniel stared at them and groped his hand in his trousers pocket, but the communicator was not on his body.

"Sir, we just want to borrow some money from you." One of the leaders said, "If you don't want to be accidentally injured, please cooperate and follow us."

"Borrow money? I don't have money!" Daniel said angrily, "I lost all the money!"

"Tut, sir, don't test my eyesight." The leading man came over and reached out to hold Daniel's collar. "My men saw that you won 100 million tonight. Yo, it's still the old man next to you. Are you blind?"

"This..." Daniel was drunk and couldn't speak clearly, but the next moment, he suddenly rushed forward, hit the man's body, and directly threw him to the ground. Then he hit the other party like raindrops and shouted, "Dare to rob me? I'll beat you to death!"

Several other people immediately gathered around.

"Catch them quickly!"

"Catch it alive!"

The remaining seven people shouted, pulled knives from their bodies, waved and cut Daniel's body, but Huo Xiu did not leave, but blocked the man for Daniel.

"Damn, don't surround it all!" The leader shouted, "Let two people drive, hurry up!" The security guard is ready to come!"

Ho Xiu pulled Daniel up, and then he dodged, dodged a dagger that stabbed him, grabbed the other party's wrist, twisted up and kicked him in the other party's stomach, and shouted, "Anne, drive!"

Anne ran to the car in a panic and took out the car truck with a frightened face, but her eyes paid attention to several people who were fighting together and Daniel who was knocked to the ground again.

There is no doubt that these are a good plays directed by Huo Xiu. He knew that Daniel likes to make friends and be righteous, and this scene was prepared by the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency. While Daniel was beaten, if he was rescued, the relationship would definitely go further in the future.

But he also knew that he had to make himself look miserable. In the past, when he saved Daniel, who fell on the ground and resisted, he also suffered a lot. Finally, the two rolled on the ground, escaped from the encirclement, and helped each other to get up. At the same time, Anne drove the car crookedly and parked five or six meters inside them.

"Come here quickly!" She rolled down the window and screamed.

"Go!" Huo Xiu pushed him and ran behind Daniel.

"I want to run!" The leader was so angry that he couldn't catch the work. He simply pulled out a pistol from behind and shot at the two people who had climbed into the car. The bullet hit the door and splashed sparks. Huo Xiu, who was about to reach out to close the door, hurried back and sweated his forehead, "Annie, run!"

Anne stepped on the accelerator, and the suspended car suddenly accelerated. After turning and knocking over a billboard at the exit, she flew out of the street, causing a group of passers-by to scold her.

Daniel stared nervously at the rearview mirror and said, "Oh, two cars followed!"

Anne glanced at the rearview mirror, stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the suspended car exceeded 200 kilometers per hour in a few seconds. She shuttled left and right between the streets and ran several red lights, and the speed of the sports car was still climbing rapidly, making Daniel sitting on the co-pilot's eyes widen. It was not until the manual control reached the speed limit that it was forced by the system to switch to automatic cruise mode.

It took five or six minutes to lose the two cars that followed behind at an extraordinary speed.

Anne diverted her attention from the car, looked worriedly at Huo Xiu, who was sitting on Daniel's lap, curled up, and asked, "Are you all right, honey?"

"It's okay, but the head always goes to the roof of the car!" Huo Xiu said with difficulty.

"I'm sorry." Daniel also said, "This car is too short and has only two seats!"

After saying that, the two extremely uncomfortable men smiled bitterly. Daniel asked, "Brother Huo, why don't you go back to my house tonight? Why don't you go back when I find out who the gangster who attacked us is the next day?"

"Okay." Huo Xiu said that Anne entered the location Daniel gave her into the navigation system, and the car calculated the best route to drive towards the destination.

"Daniel, have you always been like this here?"

"You mean rob. Robbery? Daniel asked him, "I have heard a lot about this situation, especially near the casino. Some hoodlums who are not afraid to provoke the enemy always want to rob. Robbed the unprepared rich man and flew far away to make a fortune, but in the end they all died the worst.

"There are not many such phenomena in recent areas." Huo Xiu said, "And most colonial stars have strict gun regulations."

"Ha ha, it's naturally different here." Daniel said with a smile.

"You must be happy. After all, the more people buy guns, the better the business will be."

"No, you are wrong to say that." Daniel shook his head, "Almost of the standard weapons sold by our family are provided to the military. The guns sold by the private sector are basically products of other companies. I'm afraid that only the black market can occasionally see a few future colors produced by future companies."

"Almost?" Huo Xiu heard his word.

"Yes, no matter which line, there is a dark curtain." Daniel said, "For example, in your financial industry, Huo's Bank emphasizes high confidentiality, but also helps many people launder money, right?"

"Are you interested in this?" Huo Xiu asked him with a smile, which was equivalent to admitting this.

"If I also have a large amount of money, I will come to you, but then I will charge a little less handling fee. Last time I made an emergency loan from you, the interest was almost comparable to usury!" Daniel is complaining about the bank's domineering behavior, "But who said you have a high degree of confidentiality, unlike those national policy banks."

"Don't worry, when I come forward, you will give special benefits whether it's deposits or loans." Huo Xiu promised.

"It's a deal." Daniel said.

"It's a deal." Huo Xiu nodded, "It's also a happy thing to have one more big customer."

"I love to hear this."

The car maintained a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, drove on the highway for 20 minutes, and finally arrived at Daniel's house. But unlike Huo Xiu's impression of the manor where the family lives, Daniel's home is just a two-story house located in the suburbs, and the area is not too large.

After getting out of the car, Huo Xiu asked him, "Do you live alone?"

Daniel nodded, went to the door for fingerprint verification, and invited the two to go in.

"That's good!" Huo Xiu looked around and said, "It's quite clean."

"There will be a full-time staff to clean it every two days." Daniel said, "But there are fewer people. I heard that your Huo family is used to living together with people of the same ethnic group?"

"There is such a habit." Huo Xiu said, "It's convenient to communicate with each other and contact feelings. After all, there are too many people. If they are scattered, they will be like strangers.

"Brother Huo, your face is blue!" When he opened the chandelier in the living room, Daniel found that Huo Xiu had been punched in the face.

"Mother!" Huo Xiu touched his face and couldn't help cursing, "These bastards!"

"Let me have a look." Annie walked up to him and touched his face gently.

"Oh, it hurts!"

"Mr. Brown, do you have any trauma medicine here?" Annie asked him.

"Of course, I'll find it for you!" With apologies, Daniel hurried to a room on the first floor and rummaged through the boxes.

"These are all trauma drugs." Daniel came over with a box of medicine bottles and put them on the table. Huo Xiu sat on the sofa, and Annie took a bottle of outer ointment and gently applied it to his face. Daniel next to him found the communicator and was talking to others.

After a while, Daniel, who roared for a few minutes, came back with a red face and said, "Brother Huo, I have sent someone to thoroughly investigate overnight to ensure that I can give you information in the next few days. You have suffered so much for me. Thank you. If I hadn't met you two, I'm afraid I would have been punched a lot in their hands.

"It doesn't matter." Huo Xiu waved his hand to him, "Everyone is a friend. Friends are the person who can lend you a helping hand at the critical moment!"

"Yes!" Daniel said, and he came over, "Ho Xiu, your friend, I'm sure this time!"

"I'm the same!" Huo Xiu bumped into him with his fist and patted him.

"Why don't we have a drink?" Huo Xiu proposed.

"All right!" Annie grabbed him, "I haven't finished my work yet!"

"Yes, Brother Huo, you have to listen to Miss Romanova and deal with the injury on your body first. We have more time to drink or something!"

Daniel stood up and said, "I won't bother you. You can choose the room on the second floor except the bedroom. In addition, clothes and other daily necessities are put in the locker. You can do whatever you want!"

Daniel walked to the bathroom on the first floor with an ambiguous smile.

"Put the clothes in the locker?" Annie was puzzled.

Huo Xiu laughed a few times, nodded her face with his fingers, and said, "Don't turn over the things in the locker!"

Anne thought for a moment and blushed.

After Annie dealt with the wound on his face, Huo Xiu didn't tease her anymore. He stood up and said, "Let's go to wash and sleep. After playing all day, I'm exhausted!"
