Chapter 1771

In Ye Xiao's opinion, the handwritten calligraphy and painting sent by Gao Qimei was almost a gift to Gu Xinglong and Wu Huiru, showing a trend of dimensionality reduction.

Wu Guozhang and Gu Changqing on the side also became serious in an instant. Obviously, Gao Qimei's move was not only beyond their expectations, but also made them feel pressured.

A few seconds later, Wu Guozhang suddenly applauded, "Brother Chu, I think Commander Gao's evaluation is very pertinent. What you have done in these years is completely worthy of these eight words."

"Commander Gao has expressed the voice of all my Penglai people!"

Hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This old man Wu is really cunning! There is a sense of immediacy that if you can't beat him, just join him.

After Wu Guozhang, Gu Changqing also echoed: "Old Chu, Old Wu is right. Commander Gao's eight-character evaluation is perfect for you, and it is also the voice of us."

"The only thing missing is that Commander Gao himself is not here. If he said it himself, I think the effect would definitely be better."

The first half of Gu Changqing's sentence can be said to be the same as what Wu Guozhang wanted to achieve. They both used Gao Qimei's eight characters to praise Chu Tiantai, but the second half of the sentence is different.

It is implicitly telling Chu Tiantai that although Gao Qimei gave you a high evaluation, this may not be the true meaning of Gao Qimei himself, otherwise why didn't he show up?

Chu Tiantai laughed, as if he didn't hear the implication of Gu Changqing. He smiled to Zhang Wuneng: "Wuneng, go back and thank Commander Gao for me. His calligraphy is the most meaningful calligraphy I received on my birthday."

Chu Tiantai was naturally very satisfied with Gao Qimei's handwriting, but he couldn't ignore the feelings of the Wu and Gu families, so he only said that this was the most meaningful calligraphy, not the most meaningful gift.

Zhang Wuneng nodded and said with a smile: "I will definitely tell my father-in-law on behalf of Grandpa Chu."

"By the way, my father-in-law has another sentence for me to tell Grandpa Chu that he hopes you can continue to uphold the public spirit of seeking the future for the people of Penglai."

This sentence is the focus of Zhang Wuneng's actions on behalf of Gao Qimei.

Isn't "continue to be the same" a hint that Chu Tiantai should not think about supporting the Wu or Gu families and competing with them for the position of Penglai leader?

Chu Tiantai smiled again, "Wuneng, I understand what Commander Gao means. In fact, it's not just me, but everyone here is also working for the future of Penglai in their respective positions."

Chu Tiantai naturally understood the hidden meaning in Zhang Wuneng's words, but he did not take it all in. He was undoubtedly telling Wu Guozhang, Gu Changqing, and all the guests that he had not chosen to support anyone.

"Okay, everyone, I am an old man with limited energy, so I won't accompany you." Chu Tiantai bowed to everyone again.

After Chu Tiantai finished speaking, a young member of the Chu family came forward to entertain the guests, and Chu Tiantai slowly left the banquet.

Obviously, Chu Tiantai also noticed that at this time, there was already a faint atmosphere of competition between the three factions in the banquet hall. As long as he was still on the field, the competition would not stop.

Now that the election has not yet arrived and he needs to make his attitude clear, it is not appropriate to use the Chu family as a battlefield for the three factions to fight.

Sure enough, after Chu Tiantai left, the Wu family, the Gu family and Zhang Wuneng all returned to their own circles. Although the other guests felt that the secret competition between the three parties was not enough, they did not dare to make any comments.

Just as Chu Tiantai said when he entered the venue, just eat and drink well.

An hour later, the banquet came to an end, and Ye Xiao and Davika walked out of the banquet hall hand in hand as they did when they came.

As for Wu Huiru and Situ Jin, the two did not care about them anymore. The two were local snakes in Penglai and had their own circles.

As for Qi Tianwu and Wu Chunan, Ye Xiao also secretly paid attention to them. Qi Tianwu left the banquet hall soon after Chu Tiantai left, probably because he was worried that the Gu family and Yang Jing would repeat the same trick!

Wu Chu Nan was still at the banquet, weaving in and out of the conversations of various circles. He was from Xuanyuan, and since he had come to this banquet where the upper class of Penglai gathered, he naturally had to collect some valuable intelligence.

Just as Ye Xiao and Davika had just walked out of the gate of the Chu Mansion, Wu Huiru's voice came from behind.

"Ye Xiong, my grandfather wants to see you alone."

At this time, Wu Huiru looked a little worried.

This birthday banquet did not achieve the effect she expected. She did not expect that Gao Qimei would be so ingenious as to give a handwritten calligraphy, which completely overshadowed the limelight of her gift.was overshadowed, and this may also change Chu Tiantai's attitude.

"Yes!" Ye Xiao agreed, and after saying hello to Davika, he followed Wu Huiru's instructions and went to the direction where Wu Guozhang was.

At this time, Wu Guozhang had already got in the car. After nodding to Ye Xiao, Wu Guozhang smiled and invited Ye Xiao to get in the car together.

After the car door closed, Ye Xiao took the lead and said, "Old Wu, you are looking for me for Zhonghemen!"

Ye Xiao could still predict what Wu Guozhang wanted to talk to him about. Before, Wu Guozhang wanted to test his ability, so he handed the rebellion of Zhonghemen to him.

Before the chaos of Zhonghemen was settled, Ye Xiao guessed that Wu Guozhang would not discuss further cooperation with him.

Wu Guozhang turned the lightning-struck wooden cane in his hand and said, "Mr. Ye, I'll get straight to the point!"

"Xiao Jin has told me the plan she made. I've thought about it for a long time these two days, and I still think this plan is risky. How sure do you think it is?"

After that, Wu Guozhang looked at Ye Xiao.

As for Situ Jin's plan to rob the Hanging Island Prison, even Wu Guozhang, who has seen a lot of storms, was surprised at first.

Although rescuing Situ Zhao is very useful for calming the rebellion of Zhonghemen, Wu Guozhang knows very well what the Hanging Island Prison is like.

Not to mention that Situ Jin only brought gang forces to rob the prison, even if he brought a special forces team, he thought the hope was very slim.

Ye Xiao already had the answer to this question in his mind, and he quickly responded: "Mr. Wu, I can't say how sure I am. I have to go to the Hanging Island Prison to see it in person."

"If it's as I expected, I can be 80% sure."

Ye Xiao also has a plan, but he needs to meet the warden of the Hanging Island Prison to know whether it will work. If the warden is unsympathetic and needs to force a prison break, the success rate is very low in Ye Xiao's opinion.

"80%?"

Ye Xiao's answer shocked Wu Guozhang. He narrowed his eyes slowly and focused on Ye Xiao's eyebrows, trying to judge in his own way whether Ye Xiao was lying.

But Wu Guozhang gave up soon, because Ye Xiao's expression did not change at all, and he could not get any information he wanted.

After a few seconds, Wu Guozhang sighed, "Mr. Ye, to be honest, I wanted to stop your action. Before talking to you, I also talked to Xiaojin."

"It's just that the girl is just like her father. Once she makes up her mind, no one can change it."

In fact, Wu Guozhang did not oppose Situ Jin's prison break right away. Instead, he gave his own opinion after carefully examining Situ Jin's plan and the personnel, and felt that the risks and benefits of doing so were not proportional.

It's just that he couldn't convince Situ Jin, so he wanted to make a breakthrough from Ye Xiao's side, even if he couldn't stop Situ Jin, he could stop Ye Xiao.

After all, he was not without other ways. To settle the rebellion in Zhonghemen, he just had to sacrifice more interests.

After a moment of silence, Wu Guozhang continued, "Mr. Ye, if you are really so sure, then go ahead and give it a try! I will let Xiao Jin cooperate with you, but if it doesn't work, I ask you to bring Xiao Jin back safely for me."

"I have already let her father down, and I don't want her to get involved again."

"Even if it's an old man, I beg you."
