"You also know that my father has been transferred to the capital now. I don't know much about the city bureau..."
"Why do you call Hong Xue every time after a police operation?"
"Actually, it's not every time..." After hesitating, Tongtong said: "I heard it from my grandpa..."
"ah."
"Actually, it was also by chance. I heard grandpa making arrangements to crack down on the Hong Ming Gang. Then, I called Hong Xue..."
"If I'm right, your grandfather is making arrangements behind his back. If he sees you, he will stop talking immediately."
"Yes..." Tongtong clicked his eyes and asked strangely: "How do you know."
"I guess..." Ling Cang let out a long sigh. Then he shook his head helplessly: "The Hong Ming Gang does a lot of evil. They actually have to worry about your grandfather..."
"I think so too." Tongtong nodded vigorously: "Logically speaking, my grandfather has nothing to do with this kind of thing. I don't know what happened this time. However, he also gave a general explanation. Regardless of the specific work... …”
"Oh." Ling Cang shrugged his shoulders and replied: "He doesn't need to take care of the specific work at all..."
"I'm very happy these days." Tongtong looked at Ling Cang and said excitedly: "This is just the right thing to do. The law is in full swing. The Hong Ming Gang finally deserves what they deserve."
"I do not think so."
"What."
"On the contrary. I think your grandfather is a bit too much."
"Ling Cang." Tongtong slammed the table hard and said angrily: "How can you say that...Don't forget, Hong Xue is a gangster."
"The underworld has always been with human civilization. You can say it is sinful. But if it could be truly eradicated, how could there be all kinds of gangs that are everywhere today..." Looking at Tongtong's pretty face turned red, her delicate body trembled slightly. Ling Cang knew he was really angry. But there were still things he should say: "What's more, we live in a black age. The underworld has become an important part of our lives."
"What."
"Many people think that gangs are far away from them. But you should know that they can be seen everywhere in real life. Some areas of the social economy are even completely monopolized by them." After a pause, Ling Cang gave a few examples: "For example, real estate, logistics and transportation. Or some commodity wholesale markets. Even businesses such as mining and mining. If there is no certain relationship on the road, it will definitely not be possible."
"This..." Tongtong calmed down and had to admit: "This is indeed the case..."
"Since it can't be eradicated, we can only choose one among a bunch of rotten persimmons that is not so rotten. In other words, try to minimize the harm of the underworld." After a pause, Ling Cang continued: "You should know. In Minghai Even among all the gangs in the north, although the Hongming Gang is the most powerful, it is by no means the worst. Over the years, they have worked hard to whiten themselves and no longer do much evil. If they are eradicated this time, a new gang will definitely rise. That will be A group of hungry wolves. I don’t know what kind of situation they will create.”
"Then what you mean is that this matter should end here."
"Um."
"But what I said doesn't count..." Tongtong lowered his head like a frustrated ball: "I'm just a little girl. Who will listen to me..."
"I don't want you to do anything. I just want to let you understand that Hong Xue is not as hateful as you think."
When Tongtong heard this, he immediately started chewing: "Even if Hong Ming can't help, Hong Xue will still be bad."
Ling Cang just smiled and didn't distinguish anything.
The purpose of this conversation was just to find out the reason for the anti-gang operation. Now Ling Cang already knows that Tong Zhengrong may really be here for him.
As for the friction between Tongtong and Hong Xue, it cannot be resolved in a short time. To some extent, there is no need to resolve it. Speaking of which, the two girls have a much better impression of each other. The superficial conflict is actually just anger. As a result.
After dinner with Tongtong, Ling Cang paid the bill first and rushed to Hong Xue's house. When the gang boss saw Ling Cang, he actually said: "Husband, you know I'm in a bad mood recently, so it's better not to …”
"Don't come to see you, right?"
"yes."
"I think you are having a hard time with yourself..."
"Hey, what are you talking about..." Hong Xue glared: "I have been swept away in so many places. Do you still want me to laugh?"
Hong Yi just came out of the study. Hearing this sentence, he shook his head and sat next to Hong Xue: "We are here to hang out. We must be mentally prepared to deal with all kinds of things that may happen."
"That's what I said..." Hong Xue didn't dare to get angry at his father. He immediately softened his attitude: "But after cleaning up so many places, I can't justify it..."
"The characteristic of China is that it likes to engage in sports. The specific manifestation is to crack down on gangsters and crack down hard. Is this the case? It is like a gust of wind. It is very violent when it comes, and it will pass after it passes." Hong smiled nonchalantly. Yi added: "The Hong Ming Gang has gone through so many ups and downs. Nothing has happened. In the past, our Hong Ming Gang was always safe and sound. It's the same this time."
"Dad, this time is really different..." The more Hong Xue said, the more worried he became. He took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke it. Remembering his father's presence, he immediately put it away quietly: "This time, Lei Zi's actions are targeted. We already knew in advance which of our venues had problems. And when we arrived, we were able to pounce directly on the problem areas."
Hong Yi nodded: "This means we have a traitor."
"Also, I have inquired. No other gangs have been affected. Only our Hong Ming Gang..."
"Oh." Hong Yi raised his brows and asked with a half-smile: "So, it seems like they are here for our Hong Ming Gang."
"That's what happened."
Ling Cang followed beside him: "I think so too."
The Hong family father and daughter looked at Ling Cang together. Hong Xue asked rather strangely: "How do you know?"
Ling Cang did not answer directly. Instead, he said: "To a certain extent, I am the one who has caused you trouble."
"You." Hong Xue glared and almost rushed over and slapped Ling Cang twice: "What have you done to make us sorry?"
"How could I do this..." Ling Cang shook his head helplessly: "Someone doesn't like me and is venting his anger on the Hong Ming Gang."
Both father and daughter of the Hong family are smart people. Hong Yi realized something immediately. As for Hong Xue, thinking of what happened in Linlan Town a few days ago, she also realized something: "Could it be... It's a problem with the top management."
Ling Cang nodded: "That's right."
"Don't worry, husband..." Hong Xue was a little impulsive just now. Now she calmed down and immediately showed her loyalty: "I definitely don't blame you. Your business is my business. My business is your business. If anyone If I want to deal with you, I have to get through this first..."
"If someone wants to deal with you, they have to get through me first." Ling Cang interrupted Hong Xue: "But, this matter is just a signal. The other party will never really want to help Hong Ming. So what? Don’t forget that the Hong Ming Gang not only has legal status now, but is also one of the shareholders of Century Group."
Hearing this, Hong Xue was very happy. It was so right to invest in Century Group. The largest shareholder of Century Group is the state. This means that the Hong Ming Gang and the state are now business partners: "You are right."
"But despite this..." Ling Cang said. He smiled coldly: "I still want some people to understand that I, Ling Cang, am not someone to be trifled with."
Hong Yi lit up a cigarette and took a deep puff. Then he asked slowly: "What are your plans?"
"I plan to give the police a slap in the face."
When Hong Xue heard this, her eyes widened again, because this was something she was very willing to see: "How to do it specifically."
"I want to know something first..." After thinking for a while, Ling Cang asked slowly: "The Hong Ming Gang's biggest financial source right now is the young lady."
"There are also releases and withdrawals. But you are right. It mainly relies on underground pornography." After a pause, Hong Yi further explained: "Mainly because this industry has the largest market space and the widest consumer groups. And it can exist in various forms. In addition, after so many years of development, this industry has become very formal. You pay for the goods at the same time, and the price is clear. It is not easy to have problems. "
After all, Hong Xue is a girl, so she doesn’t interfere much with this kind of business. She is only responsible for collecting accounts. Most of these businesses are left to the people below to take care of them. Hong Xue’s information is limited. She can only provide some information from the side: "This is indeed what happened. . It is said that setting up betting taps and betting is more profitable. But these businesses are very difficult and prone to trouble. In addition, they are difficult to start. They must be very hidden and have a certain scale to make money. If you raise a girl, all forms OK. You can invest several million to build a large bathing center. Or you can just rent a store room thirty to fifty meters away and put up a foot massage sign."
"Okay then..." Ling Cang thought for a moment and finally made a decision: "Let's start with this industry."
"Step by step. What to do first."
"Find a suitable place. It shouldn't be in the city center. But the place shouldn't be too remote. The area doesn't need to be too big. But the decoration must be luxurious." After thinking about it again, Ling Cang suggested: "In order to implement it as soon as possible, this place is the best. We already have a certain foundation. It’s best to stay in a hotel or an express hotel.”
"Don't tell me, there really is such a place..." Hong Xue immediately suggested: "Some time ago, we invested in a chain of express hotels. There are currently three stores. The hotel is positioned as such. The overall operating area is not very large. There are only two Thirty guest rooms. However, they are luxurious and well-decorated. The rental method is flexible..."
"You are quite business-minded. Keep talking..."
"The fourth store is currently under construction. It is not open yet. It meets your requirements."
