The armed forces do not belong to Da Xia.
This also means that the other party must have someone behind them. A small family of the Zhou family's level should not have caught the attention of the Dark Hall.
Yes, Ye Longlin had already formed a suspicion. From the current perspective, besides the Dark Hall, he could not find any other force.
It was already very obvious that the other party was here for him.
Xia Qingxie shook his head and said, "I still cannot understand."
Mu Hanqi said at this time, "Third Uncle, there is nothing to not understand. Think about it, if the other party is the Dark Hall, then it means they are the people behind the Giant Whale Group. Since they are the people behind the Giant Whale Group, then it is a battle to the death with the Baichuan Group.
For example, if any one of us dies, we will definitely hold a funeral. And with Ye Longlin's temper, he will definitely seek revenge. If that is the case, then we will definitely not have time to manage the affairs of the Baichuan Group. During this process, the other party will definitely take advantage of our lack of time to launch a massive attack on the stock market.
By the time we react, we will be in great danger. Of course, they also know Ye Longlin's character. He is a soldier, so he cannot possibly abandon so many people.
His ability is enough for you to leave by yourself, but there is no way to take so many people with you. So, dragging things down here is equivalent to dragging him down. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Because today is Saturday, even if they can hold us back, it will only be until tomorrow.
After all, there are so many people here, and some of their subordinates will definitely call the police or find someone in other ways. Once the situation here is confirmed, the military will definitely be dispatched. It will not be delayed until Monday. And the stock market opens on Monday, and by then, we will have resolved this matter, and the Baichuan Group will be able to operate normally.
So I cannot understand what the reason for their arrangement is. If it is really to hold us back, why not hold the anniversary celebration on Monday? This way, they can hold us back for two more days, which is enough to change many things."
Mu Hanqi was never foolish. In Xingcheng, she was still the president of the company. However, after being with Ye Longlin, she gave up everything and became a housewife by his side.
"Xiao Qi is right. This is also what I haven't figured out. So I also want to know why."
Ye Longlin nodded and said, stroking Mu Hanqi's small head.
Mu Hanqi's words also made everyone present re-evaluate her. No one expected her to be able to analyze things so thoroughly and speak so much in line with the facts.
If according to Mu Hanqi's analysis, it is indeed the case. Why didn't the other party hold the 80th-anniversary celebration on Monday? At most, they could have held them back for two days. Two days could really change many things.
For two days on Saturday and Sunday, the stock market is not open. What is the meaning of their actions? At least they do not know yet.
However, they will know soon.
Zhou Tao walked onto the stage that had been set up.
It was exactly eleven o'clock, and he stood in front of the microphone.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to the Zhou family's 80th-anniversary celebration. This day is very important to the Zhou family. It represents the efforts of three generations of the Zhou family. I am very grateful that you can recognize the Zhou family. On behalf of the Zhou family, I express my most sincere respect to all of you.
The Zhou family has experienced periods of peak and trough over the years, but they have all passed safely. Thank you again for the assistance from all parties. Without everyone, there would be no Zhou family today.
Today, the Zhou family has prepared some light wine and small dishes. Please join me in raising your glasses."
Zhou Tao raised his wine glass high, his face slightly flushed.
Below, Ye Longlin took a sip of wine and immediately frowned. Seeing them raise their glasses, Ye Longlin spoke and reminded them, "The wine has a problem."
Hearing this, the Xia family quickly put down their wine glasses.
"Datura," he said with a frown.
They were all a bit confused. Datura? What is that? They seemed to have never heard of it.
Seeing their confused expressions, Ye Longlin explained, "Datura is a poisonous plant. In medicine, it is used as the earliest anesthetic. The main ingredient of Hua Tuo's 'Ma Feisan' from the Three Kingdoms should be Datura.
Song Dynasty scholar Zhou Qufei described in his book 'Ling Wai Dai Da' that Datura flowers grow all over the fields. Thieves pick them, dry them, and grind them into powder. When added to food and drink, they can make people fall into a coma.
Li Shizhen tested the medicine on himself and concluded that drinking wine with flowers requires drinking until one is half-drunk. Then, a person is instructed to laugh or dance in front of you, and you will be dominated by hallucinations and uncontrollably laugh or dance. Now I understand what their intention is. If this stuff is ingested, I'm afraid the next period will be spent in the hospital."
"Give me the wine."
After pouring all the wine together, Ye Longlin picked up the decanter and drank it all in one go, then closed his eyes. White mist could be seen emitting from Ye Longlin's body.
"Light a corner of the tablecloth, then extinguish it."
He suddenly said, and Mu Hanqi quickly followed suit. Then, a large amount of white mist emitted from Ye Longlin's body!
"Holy crap, he's smoking! Did you see that? He's smoking."
"It's true. Could something have been burned? Hey, Xia family, what did you do?"
"Cough, cough, I'm sorry. My niece-in-law was curious and accidentally lit the tablecloth. The fire has been extinguished. I can only apologize to the head of the Xia family."
Xia Qingxie stood up and apologized.
This diverted the attention of a group of people.
Ye Longlin then opened his eyes, exhaled, and saw the concerned looks around him. He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's resolved. The wine here has a problem. The food probably has a problem too. Don't eat anything."
Zhou Tao on stage could see the decanter of the Xia family. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Little brat, you still want to compete with me!"
"Tomorrow this time will be the death of your Xia family!"
He thought to himself, but continued to speak, "Everyone, please don't be polite. Eat and drink. We won't go home until we're drunk today!"
Zhou Tao went down and drank from table to table.
They were drinking poisoned wine, while he was drinking plain water!
The wine in the liquor bottles had long been replaced with plain water. Even if he went from table to table, there would be no problem.
"Come, come, drink, drink, President Zhang, don't be shy. We all know you're a wine immortal, and you're known for being able to drink thousands of cups without getting drunk. Come on."
"President Li, look, why are you still sitting here? Come on, President Li, have a drink with us."
