Chapter 291: The Fourth Young Master of the New Generation
China currently belongs to a vacuum area of external forces. Any force that comes to this land will have no opponents as long as it can defeat the Chinese government. If you need to maneuver between the various forces, things will become quite complicated and difficult. Increased exponentially.
As for the Chinese officialdom, it is certainly not easy to defeat in terms of strength, but it is also very simple.
The girl grasped the Chinese official mentality very accurately. In fact, it is no longer so tough and inviolable. All they want is to ensure their rule. Under this premise, everything is easy to negotiate. With the material and manpower of China, if they want to achieve it Any ambition is possible.
Therefore, the girl is very worried that other people will have the same consciousness and set foot in China, especially the Holy See.
The reason why she made such a big fuss was not only to make the Kikusui Society a scapegoat, but also because if the Holy See did come to China, it would not fail to intervene if such a thing happened. In other words, the fundamental purpose of attacking the Kikusui Society this time. It is to lure the Holy See into action.
For this purpose, those who attacked the Ju Shui Society were originally going to be sacrificed. But the girl did not expect that the purpose of the Ju Shui Society was to kill Ling Cang. The purpose of the Vatican was to save Ling Cang. In other words, Ling Cang was not Not in the plan.
"Who is Ling Cang..." The girl smiled coldly: "We need to find out."
"what should we do."
"It looks like he has some abilities. Then let's test how powerful he is." After a pause, the girl ordered: "Send two elders over."
"yes."
"By the way. How is my enrollment going?"
"Everything is ready. But there is a little problem..." The little old man asked very carefully: "What name will you use, sir?"
The girl smiled softly: "Of course I use my original... Cang Yao."
After Han Lan was punished, Long Jianyue did not restrict Ling Cang very much. However, in order not to cause trouble to Baihua Tuan, Ling Cang would say hello every time before going out.
In the next few days, Ling Cang contacted Tong Zhengrong several times. Tong Zhengrong was very busy at this time. On the one hand, he had to deal with the aftermath and on the other hand, he had to hunt down the hostile forces.
However, both the Illuminati and the Kikusui Society seem to have evaporated out of thin air. There is no more news. Due to the complexity and diversity of today's society, the work of the intelligence system is becoming more and more difficult. We must be fully prepared to face such a time. attacks. It is difficult to arrest people in a short period of time.
As for Ling Cang, apart from a few words of relief, he really couldn't provide much help.
Every time Tong Zhengrong talks on the phone, he never mentions Ling Cang's affairs in the capital. There is no need to say too much to smart people. Tong Zhengrong only wants Ling Cang to understand in his heart and do more things for him in the future. He does not ask Ling Cang to do anything extravagantly. Cang was grateful, because even without him, several famous families could fish Ling Cang out.
Ling Cang knew that his release was the result of Tong Zhengrong's behind-the-scenes operation. But since Tong Zhengrong didn't mention it, he pretended to be confused. On this day, Ling Cang went out for a stroll. As soon as he hung up the phone from Tong Zhengrong, he received a call from Cao Zhengqing: " Is it convenient for us to chat?"
"convenient."
"Great..." Cao Zhengqing made an appointment at a coffee shop. The time is five minutes later.
Ling Cang went there on time and found that the three young masters from the capital were all there. The expressions on their faces were a little sad. Anyway, they had been brothers with Bai Youwen for several years. Now that Bai Youwen died tragically, it was inevitable that they would not die like a rabbit or a fox.
"It's better for you to express your condolences and accept the change." Ling Cang sat across from them and said calmly: "There is no resurrection after death."
"These past few days, we have been busy with Awen's affairs..." Cao Zhengqing sighed: "I can tell you something. The Bai family wants to get to the bottom of it and find the real murderer. However, the higher-ups sent someone here. I talked with the Bai family for a long time... I used various methods of persuasion, blackmail and compensation. Finally, the Bai family reluctantly agreed to remain silent."
"We now know that the person who killed Bai Youwen was a force that we could not imagine. We also know that this force came for you..." Zhang Yi looked at Ling Cang with some embarrassment and said slowly: " And you have the power to contend with this force."
"You are wise." Ling Cang nodded slightly: "But on what basis do you determine that this force is coming for me."
"Intuition." Zhang Yi said decisively: "We can tell from the people you fought against at that time."
"Oh." Ling Cang chuckled: "You don't think it was me who killed Bai Youwen, do you?"
"How could it be..." Zhang Yi replied awkwardly: "It was an accident..."
No matter how you say it, the Bai family can be regarded as prestigious. The top leaders of the country can force the Bai family to shut up. Anyone who can think normally will realize how deep the water behind this matter is.
Zhang Yi regrets it now. He should not have gone against Ling Cang in the first place. He was just embarrassed to say it publicly. This time, he asked Cao Zhengqing to invite Ling Cang out. He wanted to have an honest talk with Ling Cang and settle all the past grudges.
Ling Cang guessed this intention from Zhang Yi's dull expression and dull eyes: "Since you think it was an accident, that's the best thing. I hope that all the unpleasantness before will be over. The dead have passed away and the living will return. Live well."
"I'm so glad you can say that." Yu Zhiqian laughed dryly: "I've known for a long time that Mr. Ling is a cheerful person."
"Ling... Young Master." Ling Cang was very surprised. He couldn't figure out what was wrong in Yu Zhiqian's head to make up such a title for himself.
"That's it..." Cao Zhengqing laughed out loud. He took over the conversation and said, "A few of us had a chat and felt that you are qualified to become the new Fourth Young Master in the capital."
"What did you say?" Ling Cang was about to drink coffee when his hand trembled and he almost broke the cup.
"You do have this qualification." Zhang Yi nodded sincerely: "The fourth young master in the capital... everyone knows this title. It can't just disappear, let alone become the third young master in the capital..."
"Yes." Yu Zhiqian nodded hurriedly: "The third young master in the capital... how unpleasant it is to hear."
"So..." Ling Cang just wanted to drink coffee again. This time he actually dropped the cup: "You just dragged me in to make up for the numbers."
"Mr. Ling misunderstood." Cao Zhengqing was mature and prudent after all. He could grasp the key points when he spoke: "They already know that your father is Mr. Ling Yang. And the title of the Fourth Young Master of the Capital comes from your father. For many years, the Fourth Young Master of the Capital has been Elegance and elegance are synonymous with a distinguished family background. Mr. Ling also doesn’t want the romance created by your father to be lost in this life..."
"It sounds..." Ling Cang smiled and nodded: "It sounds a bit like inheriting my father's property."
"The so-called four young masters in the capital. Without Bai Youwen, someone needs to join in..." After a pause, Cao Zhengqing told Ling Cang meaningfully: "As we said before, there is no more suitable candidate except you."
"No." Ling Cang decisively refused: "I like to keep a low profile. This title is too high-profile."
"You can join in, but you won't show up in public. We won't tell others." After coughing twice, Cao Zhengqing lowered his voice and said, "If you agree, it means you have surpassed your father."
Ling Cang was stunned: "Why."
"My father brought his distinguished family background to become the son of the capital. But you came to the capital with nothing. Nothing your father had was of any help to you." Cao Zhengqing spread his hands and reminded: "When you have everything on your own. Doesn't this title already surpass my father?"
Including Cao Zhengqing, these three young masters all have a need to save face. If because of Bai Youwen's death, the four young masters in the capital have become yesterday's news, they will really be in trouble.
In addition, there have always been some comments from the outside world, saying that the "Four Young Masters in the Capital" is a false name. After Bai Youwen's death, they also reflected on it and painfully realized that these comments were correct.
There was a young man from Beijing who was now in his 30s. He had obtained half of the channels for domestic steel imports. Another one was even more amazing. He helped the military start arms export trade. The money they handled was really a common saying. If you want to be sarcastic, you can get up to a million dollars every minute.
Cao Zhengqing has achieved quite a lot. Zhang Yi and Yu Zhiqian feel that they are not so capable. If a very capable person joins in at this time, even if it is just with strong force, it will not only make them look good, but also help them in their future careers. It was of huge help.
It was just two people, Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Yi, who didn't know how to persuade Ling Cang. Only Cao Zhengqing accurately grasped Ling Cang's psychology.
Cao Zhengqing played with Ling Yang when he was a child. After he became his godson, he once said this: "I really hope to be like you when I grow up."
Ling Yang told Cao Zhengqing at the time: "What I fear most is that my son will be like me."
When you have an amazing father, anyone with courage and determination will avoid becoming a copy of his father. Cao Zhengqing can see that Ling Cang is such a person.
Of course, Cao Zhengqing's words not only cater to Ling Cang's psychology, but are also true.
It is simply unimaginable that a poor boy from a poor mountainous area, who came to the capital with bare hands and no more than one hundred yuan in cash in his pocket, could become a prince in the capital. It is true that there are various forces behind Ling Cang. But how can these forces be? So easy to adjust.
For example, according to the genealogy, each high-ranking official can have 1,800 relatives. However, a few of these relatives have become rich. Another example is Li Qiming. He just accidentally killed a person. Due to various factors They work together. His biological father, who is a local emperor, is helpless.
