Physician’s Odyssey

Su Tao saw Hong Shan in the hotel room. He was habitually wearing tattered clothes and his hair looked messy. Su Tao was even a little worried whether cockroaches or mice would pop out of it.

Su Tao pulled Hong Shan to sit down, and Hong Shan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm dirty, so don't sit down."

Su Tao smiled angrily: "Are you mocking me?"

Hong Shan knew that Su Tao was not the kind of person who judged people by appearance. He rubbed his body, but fortunately he didn't take out the mud pill, and smiled: "I haven't taken a bath for several days. I can't smell the strange smell on my body. Don't dislike it. what?"

Su Tao couldn't laugh or cry, "How can I dislike it? If you want to take a bath, there is a bathtub in the bathroom for a hot bath."

Hong Shan hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I’m not unconditional to wash, but I’m afraid of taking a bath. I’m doing our business, if my body smells of fragrant shower gel, who would still be willing to give alms? It's too much trouble if you get rid of yourself."

Su Tao knew that Hong Shan was deliberately joking and couldn't help but laugh for a while before asking: "By the way, what is going on with Zhang Zhongguo?"

Hong Shan showed a solemn expression and said: "According to my information, Zhang Zhongguo's wife and daughter disappeared many days ago. He claimed to be traveling abroad, but I investigated the information of the immigration personnel, and did not find his wife and daughter. Whereabouts. So I suspect that the wife and daughter were kidnapped, and Zhang Zhongguo did not dare to call the police."

Su Tao frowned and asked, "Does it have anything to do with Du Liushan's death?"

Hong Shan nodded his head, "The day Du Liushan went to sea, it was the day his wife and daughter disappeared. The time is such a coincidence that the people in the dark may be the same group."

Su Tao sighed secretly. He was not the heir to the operation of the Du Family Teahouse in the later period, so it is not good to interfere too much, but he needs to find out the truth about Du Liushan's death.

"It seems I want to meet Zhang Zhongguo!" Su Tao said solemnly.

Hong Shan smiled and said, "That's not easy. I have figured out where his home is."

Su Tao liked Hong Shan's optimistic character, and smiled and said, "Then I will trouble Big Brother Hong."

...

Zhang Zhongguo returned to his deserted home, looking at the family portrait in the shop window, the smiling faces of his wife and children, and the warm pictures of the past, he walked into the kitchen with a staggering and heavy step, and took out the cans and a few cans of beer. , Turn on the TV while sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Popular variety shows are being played on the TV. Zhang Zhongguo used to watch it with gusto, but today he still can’t follow the TV shows. He can only numbly eat canned food and drink!

"Boss Du, why did you leave like this?" No one wants to be the second in the millennium. Zhang Zhongguo had hoped that Du Liushan would leave the teahouse countless times, so that he would be able to stand alone and become a veritable Master Zhang.

Du Liushan basically doesn't care about the big or small affairs of the teahouse, and Zhang Zhongguo resolves many trivial matters in private. Du Liushan is confident enough to delegate power to Zhang Zhongguo, so Zhang Zhongguo believes that Du Liushan is indispensable for him.

But when Du Liushan really left, Zhang Zhongguo realized that he was nothing, the old employees who were surrounded by him and willing to support him, he knew in his heart that he did not want someone to stand up, and then Du Liushanzhi Death, asking for a higher bargaining chip from the new owner, he was just being recommended as a gun.

Zhang Zhongguo drank several cans of beer. The taste of the cans was a bit greasy. He felt sick in his stomach. He vomited for a while holding the trash basket. When he changed to his wife, she saw that she was drunk and would cook herself a bowl of sober soup. I still think she is long-winded, but now I think that is the warmth.

Emptying everything in his stomach, Zhang Zhongguo was sitting on the sofa like a puddle of mud, and he could feel his current embarrassment.

Suddenly the chandelier in the living room turned on, which caused Zhang Zhongguo to hang up. He only turned on the downlight. There was no one else in the house. How could the crystal chandelier in the middle suddenly turn on?

Before Zhang Zhongguo had time to turn around and check, the generally cold blade was attached to the skin of his neck, and the coldness poured into his skin, making his drunkenness disappear a lot.

"Who are you?" Zhang Zhongguo saw the figure through the mirror, a tall young man.

"Don't be so nervous!" Su Tao put the knife away. "You don't seem to be in a particularly good mood. You shouldn't be in a good mood. You just had a contest with your new boss. From the scene, it was you who occupied An absolute advantage."

"Su Tao?" Zhang Zhongguo saw Su Tao's face clearly, "This is my house, how did you come in?"

Su Tao sighed. Seeing Zhang Zhongguo quickly got up, his face was full of anger, and he smiled: "I'm here to help you. You don't thank me, but are hostile to me, which makes it hard to understand."

"Help me? Will you hold a knife and put it on someone else's neck?" Zhang Zhongguo said solemnly, "And you are uninvited."

Su Tao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The reason why I put the knife on your neck is because if I knock on the door and politely ask you if you need help, you will only shut me out. Do extraordinary things. , Need to use extraordinary methods."

Zhang Zhongguo fell into a short silence. Su Tao's words did have some truth. From Su Tao, he could smell the same dangerous aura as those who kidnapped his own wives and daughters, so Zhang Zhongguo was able to determine whether he had the strength to help himself.

Zhang Zhongguo's expression was changing drastically. He knew the cruelty of the group, and he didn't even dare to call the police, so he couldn't decide whether to accept Su Tao's sudden help.

Su Tao knew what Zhang Zhongguo was thinking. He walked to the window and took down the family portrait. He sighed, "Your daughter and wife look really alike, they are very beautiful."

Zhang Zhongguo said excitedly: "You shut up!"

Su Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "This should be the common idea of ​​all men. I can shut up, but you can't stop me from thinking? Of course, you can't guarantee what will happen to those who kidnap your wife and daughter. Treat them. The feminine will always end up miserably, a bit lighter, with a scar on the face, and a heavier one will suffer permanent physical or psychological trauma, which is not good."

Zhang Zhongguo was completely enraged and rushed towards Su Tao with a roar, and was easily kicked to the ground by Su Tao.

Su Tao looked at Zhang Zhongguo coldly and said, "Don't be so hypocritical. You may care about your wife and daughter, but you also care about the promises the other party made to you."

Zhang Zhongguo rubbed his stomach, got up with difficulty, and said angrily: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Su Tao revealed mercilessly: "On the surface, you are being coerced and forced to be helpless. According to the other party's request, you ask Du Haisheng for a price; you ask yourself whether the other party's request has also met your climb. Ambition?"

Zhang Zhongguo looked at Su Tao with a touch of awe. Su Tao completely dissected his inner world as if he had a mind reading technique.

In fact, Su Tao was also speculating. It was only through Zhang Zhongguo's conversation with Du Haisheng in the afternoon that he made the current judgment. Zhang Zhongguo's current expression has proved that his guess is correct. He does dream of replacing Du Liushan as the helm of the teahouse.

Zhang Zhongguo laughed frantically, "You’re right, Du Liushan is dead, why didn’t the teahouse let me continue to take care of it? I didn’t pay less than Du Liushan. Du Haisheng and Du Haiying’s siblings, they simply I don’t know how hard it is to start a business and how to operate it on thin ice, but I believe in so-called professional managers and want to easily become a shopkeeper. I can’t destroy my efforts in their hands.”

Su Tao can feel the sincerity of Zhang Zhongguo's words, and he is also a person with pursuit and belief.

People will have selfishness and ambition and put themselves in place. If they are in Zhang Zhongguo's perspective, they will definitely have other ideas.

From the conversation between Du Haisheng and Zhang Zhongguo in the afternoon, it can be seen that the Du brothers and sisters have already doubted Zhang Zhongguo. Although the email is not true, they no longer trust Zhang Zhongguo.

Zhang Zhongguo must have also felt this potential hidden danger. In order to protect himself, it is logical to organize old employees to protest.

"I can understand your thoughts, but the ownership of the teahouse belongs to the Du family. You should not get involved with things that do not belong to you." Su Tao said calmly.

Zhang Zhongguo gritted his teeth and said, "I made the country together with Du Liushan. Why can't I fight for it?"

Su Tao asked: "If Master Du is still there, will your wife and daughter be kidnapped?"

Zhang Zhongguo was taken aback for a moment, staring at Su Tao blankly.

Su Tao continued: "Master Du helped you shelter from the wind and rain and resisted too much pressure from the outside world. On the surface, you are very hard and have done a lot for the operation of the teahouse, but in fact, Master Du is the real soul. He is the pillar of the tea house. Without you, the tea house may affect the business at first, but soon there will be a new replacement. Everyone recognizes the golden sign of Master Du, which has nothing to do with Zhang Zhongguo."

Zhang Zhongguo's expression twitched, and he found that he could not explain, thinking that Su Tao was right.

"I don't want teahouses to become those online celebrity shops on the market. Teahouses have the hard work of Lao Du and me. They shouldn't be vulgar." Zhang Zhongguo's tone eased. He actually knew it well, even if he was behind the scenes. Under the manipulation of the teahouse, he will only become a puppet.

Su Tao's tone became deep, "The reason why I am willing to help you is because I think you can inherit Master Du's teahouse culture. If you are a person who seeks fame and is obsessed with power, I will never communicate with you calmly. If you are willing to cooperate with my plan, I can not only help you rescue your wife and daughter, but also promise to persuade Du Haisheng to let you continue to work in the Du’s tea house and continue Master Du’s tea ceremony."

Zhang Zhongguo stared at Su Tao. He trusted Su Tao because he knew that Du Liushan had a look at Su Taogao. It is hard to imagine that a person as noble as Du Liushan would help Su Tao unselfishly. Now it seems that Du Liushan did what he did. There is also a reason. Now the Du family is in trouble, and Su Tao is the only one who can give the Du family the best to go.

Zhang Zhongguo finally lowered his head and said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you, please help me rescue my wife and daughter. I am grateful for your help throughout my life."
