"Sima Xiang? What does this old guy want from you?"
Zhang Pinggang shivered, then lay comfortably on the bed and let Chen Lingling help clean up.
As a result, Chen Lingling was only halfway through helping him clean up when she received a personal phone call.
The caller was an elder, saying that he wanted her and her father to go to the other party's villa to talk about something, and that the matter was urgent and that they should rush there tonight.
"Uncle Xiang is the president of the Landowners Association. I heard that some of them are having a meeting tonight and want to discuss how to deal with the impact of the Z Fund case. He called us over now, maybe because he wanted my father to be a witness.
"
Chen Lingling was a little surprised when she received a call from Sima Xiang, but not too surprised.
Since Chen Tianqiao is also a member of the Landowners Association, she also knows something about the Landlords Association.
Landlords have a rule that if something big happens, the oldest member will usually step in to take the blame to ensure the safety of others.
The Z Fund has made such a big noise in Hong Kong Island, so naturally it needs a significant person to step in and take the lead.
Among the current members of the Landowners Association, the president, Sima Xiang, is the oldest.
So even if he himself is not actually involved in the Z Fund matter, now that the matter is coming, he can't avoid it even if he wants to.
The other party called Chen Tianqiao, which was actually understandable.
Since the Landlords Association has such a tradition of older people carrying the vat, it naturally has corresponding measures to deal with the aftermath.
Generally speaking, other members must compensate the member who entered the tank, usually to ensure that the other person's family has food and clothing for the rest of their lives. If the person who cheated has served his sentence, they will find a way to save a share for the other person when he comes out.
The elderly care industry.
However, rules are rules, but whether they will be enforced naturally requires someone to supervise them.
As a well-known rich man of the new generation in Hong Kong, Chen Tianqiao will witness this incident as a witness. If other members do not follow the rules afterwards, Chen Tianqiao, as a witness, will have to intervene.
"There is also this kind of thing. It seems that the new president, Uncle Tong, is not a decent person."
When he heard Chen Lingling talking about this matter, Zhang Pin immediately saw that Sima Xiang must not trust his uncle, so he thought of inviting foreign aid.
"In fact, if Uncle Tong had revealed the matter to us about the Z Fund earlier, the matter would not have ended as hard as it did now."
When Chen Lingling heard Zhang Pin's comments, she couldn't agree with him directly, but she also explained her feelings about her uncle.
"You have nothing to do. Let me go with you."
Zhang Pin saw that Chen Lingling wanted to go there.
So he also stood up and got dressed, ready to go with the other party.
"Thanks, dear."
Chen Lingling is also very satisfied with Zhang Pin's performance.
As she gradually takes over Taifu Bank, it is only a matter of time before she has to deal with these people.
But now is the new world. It has become impossible for a few old men to control the entire Hong Kong stock market like before the Landlords Association.
The new members who join the Landowners Association are just for the sake of personal connections within the Landowners Association, and the closeness of everyone's cooperation is no longer what it used to be.
There are many new members, and it is impossible for them to be as willing as the old members to take the blame for others.
As Sima Xiang and others grew old, the landlord association also began to show a tendency to exist in name only.
But despite this, as a high-end wealthy organization in Hong Kong, Chen Lingling naturally hopes to make some friends through this organization.
The reason why Taifu Bank is becoming more and more famous in Hong Kong Island and even involves other areas is naturally because Chen Tianqiao has made a wide range of contacts over the years.
For example, this time the money from the Z Fund private equity fund was originally placed with HSBC.
However, after Hu Zhiyong was arrested, Chen Tianqiao persuaded the Hong Kong authorities to transfer the funds on the grounds of fund safety.
Now I think it is difficult for many parties to reach an agreement on how to allocate funds, so the money has been fixed in Dafu Bank.
Although it is said that Taifu Bank itself cannot use this money due to regulatory issues.
But just the figure of 100 billion in cash deposits is enough for banks to write a lot about it.
Moreover, Taifu Bank used its influence to simply take over the right to preserve funds from HSBC, which in itself means a lot of things.
For example, there is a high-end party like tonight's landlord's party. If it weren't for Dafu Bank's high enough influence, Sima Xiang would naturally not think of inviting himself.
Of course, these were Chen Lingling's own conjectures. She still didn't know that it was not Sima Xiang who invited her, but someone else.
"Where is Sir Liu?"
On the road at Deep Water Bay Beach, Lu Zhilian waited for a long time before finally waiting for Di Weijie to appear.
"Didn't you say that Sir Liu went there to wait for you at Repulse Bay Beach?"
Lu Zhilian was invited by Liu Baoqiang to meet with Di Weijie who wanted to report Wang Hai.
Because Di Weijie said on the phone that the other party's previous involvement was related to money laundering, mainly helping some mainlanders to transport some items that did not comply with regulations to pass customs.
Most of these matters are corruption and bribery. Liu Baoqiang does not have the right to investigate. These are the jurisdiction of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
When he met Di Weijie this time, he mainly wanted to learn from him about Wang Hai who killed Xu Youcai and the mysterious man who killed Lin Daan at Dafu Bank.
After the two arrived here, Di Weijie temporarily changed the meeting place and expressed that he was in a hurry, so Lu Zhilian took the initiative to get out of the car and walked across the sidewalk to Deep Water Bay first, while Liu Baoqiang drove to Repulse Bay.
Jingle Bell--
Lu Zhilian wanted to say something else, but the phone on his body suddenly rang.
"Hey, Sir Liu!"
"Sir Lu, please be careful. The guy responsible for monitoring Youzi Xin just called and said that they were attacked by Youzi Xin half an hour ago. One was killed and the other injured. The other party is now missing. I suspect he may come to silence him!
"
Lu Zhilian answered the phone, and Liu Baoqiang's anxious and angry tone came over.
"careful!"
After hearing Liu Baoqiang's reminder, Lu Zhilian quickly looked around, and happened to see a masked man in black appearing behind Di Weijie.
He immediately shouted a warning to the other party and drew his gun to threaten the other party.
"ah--"
Despite Lu Zhilian's warning, the distance between Di Weijie and the man in black was still too close.
Although Di Weijie had already evaded immediately, he was still stabbed in the back by the man in black.
Then, before Di Weijie could get out of his attack range, the man in black stabbed him several times in succession. Although the injury was not serious, Di Weijie's entire back was scratched with scars.
Bang bang bang bang——
"ah--"
Seeing that the man in black was ruthless and murderous, Lu Zhilian chose to shoot without hesitation.
The distance between the two sides was neither close nor far. Although Lu Zhilian had no time to aim, he forced the opponent back and a bullet hit the left hand of the man in black.
"stop!"
The man in black obviously did not expect Lu Zhilian to shoot so decisively at first. After being shot, he immediately chose to escape towards the beach.
Seeing this, Lu Zhilian was naturally unwilling to let him go, so he glanced at Di Weijie and made sure that his life was not in danger, so he chased after him.
beep beep beep——
When Lu Zhilian ran to the beach, Liu Baoqiang drove there just in time. Seeing that the environment ahead was relatively dark, Liu Baoqiang immediately honked the horn wildly to remind Lu Zhilian not to chase.
But Lu Zhilian naturally didn't care about Liu Baoqiang's reminder at this moment.
Seeing the man in black running faster and faster, Lu Zhilian naturally chased him faster and faster, so he didn't even notice that he had already run into a dark environment.
After running, Lu Zhilian rushed past the last streetlight, and suddenly realized that there was darkness ahead, and the shadow of the man in black was hiding.
"Huhuhu——"
Lu Zhilian breathed rapidly while paying careful attention to his surroundings.
Bang——
Just when he was guarding the front and the surroundings, a huge force suddenly kicked him on the back. Lu Zhilian threw himself forward, and the pistol in his hand also let go and flew out.
Pfft——
Then before Lu Zhilian could get up, he felt a tearing sound from behind, followed by the pain of the blade entering his flesh.
"ah--"
Lu Zhilian couldn't help shouting, then turned his body to the side, then raised his foot and kicked it out in the air.
Pfft——
While he was kicking, the man in black who had successfully attacked from behind also raised his knife and slashed at Lu Zhilian.
Fortunately, Lu Zhilian wore leather shoes with thick soles.
The man in black is holding a short knife that looks more decorative than functional. Although it can be played to perfection in the opponent's hands, the limitations of the short knife are still there.
When it penetrated the bottom of Lu Zhilian's leather shoe this time, it was directly stuck inside, and he could no longer move forward or retreat.
Bang——
Taking this opportunity, Lu Zhilian, who was lying on the ground, quickly raised his other foot and kicked the man in black.
Seeing Lu Zhilian's big kick coming, the man in black hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to dodge, but instead raised his hand to greet him.
The hands and feet of the two people were separated at the touch of each other. After receiving a kick from Lu Zhilian, the man in black staggered back a few steps, but he successfully used this force to pull out the short knife that was originally stuck in the sole of his shoe.
"grass--"
Seeing the man in black charging towards him again with a knife raised, Lu Zhilian rolled on the spot again, as if he wanted to pick up his pistol.
But seeing Lu Zhilian's actions, the man in black was unwilling to give him this opportunity.
The opponent caught up with Lu Zhilian in a few steps, then leaned over with the knife and stabbed him again.
Bang——
As a result, before the man in black could succeed this time, Lu Zhilian, who was rolling, suddenly turned around, kicked out his legs at the same time, and directly kicked the chest of the man in black who was leaning down.
The man in black was caught off guard and was kicked away by Lu Zhilian's powerful kick.
After the ambush was successful, Lu Zhilian immediately stood up and rushed towards the direction in which the man in black flew out.
Originally, he seemed to want to pick up the gun, but in fact he was deliberately luring the man in black.
Bang bang bang——
By the time Lu Zhilian rushed to the man in black, the man in black had already stabilized his body.
The two immediately started fighting quickly, and exchanged several blows with each other.
Bang——
In the end, Lu Zhilian reacted faster and noticed that the speed of the man in black's left hand seemed to be affected. He immediately thought that the man in black seemed to have been shot by him before, and the wound should be on his left hand.
So he immediately changed the position of his attack and attacked the man in black with kicks and punches on the left side. As expected, the man in black blocked Lu Zhilian's side kick and failed to avoid his subsequent punches.
"Well--"
The man in black received a punch on his left shoulder. He immediately waved his right hand, and the sharp blade directly drove back Lu Zhilian, who wanted to take advantage of the situation and continue his attack.
Seeing that there seemed to be nothing that could be done to Lu Zhilian, the man in black suddenly looked behind Lu Zhilian, and then while the opponent was in a defensive posture, he ran directly into the darkness from the right.
By the time Lu Zhilian realized that the other party wanted to escape, the man in black had already hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to distinguish the other party's figure.
This time, Lu Zhilian did not rush to catch up. On the contrary, he stood cautiously and paid attention to the situation around him.
Apparently the sneak attack just now gave him a long memory.
"Sir Lu! Sir Lu!"
Just at this time, Liu Baoqiang's voice came from behind.
"I'm here!"
Hearing Liu Baoqiang's shouting, Lu Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran towards the place where the gun dropped.
"How's it going? Are you caught? Are you injured?"
When Liu Baoqiang heard Lu Zhilian's answer, he immediately ran forward and saw Lu Zhilian turning sideways to check the injuries on his back.
"I chased him too fast and let him slash me. It was too dark here, so I didn't continue to chase him. Hiss——"
When Lu Zhilian saw Liu Baoqiang appear, he immediately turned sideways and asked him to help him look at his injuries.
"Fortunately, it shouldn't be too serious. You were too impulsive just now. What if something unexpected happens."
Liu Baoqiang looked at Lu Zhilian's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief. He did not agree with Lu Zhilian's behavior of chasing the man in black.
Fortunately, thanks to Lu Zhilian's habit of wearing suits, the man in black's short knife was only of a small length. After cutting open the clothes, the remaining wound was not too deep.
"How is the situation over there with Di Weijie? Did you call an ambulance? Why did you leave him there alone?"
When Lu Zhilian heard Liu Baoqiang blaming himself for being too impulsive, he shook his head indifferently.
Instead, he remembered Di Weijie, whom he had not cared about before. He remembered that when he was chasing the man in black, Di Weijie's situation was not so optimistic. The man in black had slashed him several times on the back.
"I'm worried about your situation. Seeing that his life is not in danger at the moment, I just helped call the ambulance."
Hearing Lu Zhilian's words, Liu Baoqiang shook his head. He had already driven to Lu Zhilian while making the call.
Later, I heard gunshots on the other end of the phone, and when I arrived, I saw Lu Zhilian chasing the man in black into a dark place, so I immediately chose to support Lu Zhilian, and naturally I couldn't care less about Di Weijie.
"No! Go over there and check the situation!"
After hearing Liu Baoqiang's words, Lu Zhilian's expression suddenly changed.
He knew firsthand how courageous the man in black was.
The opponent knew clearly that he had a gun in his hand, but he still dared to sneak around and attack him.
Di Weijie was already injured at this time, and the two of them ran away again, just in case something happened.
"The other party is not that courageous, fuck—"
Seeing the sudden change in Lu Zhilian's expression, Liu Baoqiang wanted to be aggressive, but when he thought of the consequences if Di Weijie did something wrong, he immediately quickened his pace to catch up.
“Whoa whoosh—where’s the person!”
Lu Zhilian hurriedly ran back to Deep Water Bay, only to find that where Di Weijie had been lying, even the bloodstains had been cleaned up.
"Could it be that Di Weijie ran away on his own?"
Seeing this scene, Liu Baoqiang subconsciously wanted to find an excuse.
Because he knew that if Di Weijie hadn't run away on his own, things would have been even worse. ()
