"So that's it." Ling Cang nodded thoughtfully: "You should start investigating Ding Shibo now. Analyze as many clues as you can find."
"good."
Ling Cang glanced at Duanmu Quhe: "I really didn't see it. You are an information expert."
Duanmu Quhe said proudly: "Of course."
Looking at those big watery eyes, Ling Cang felt that Duanmu Quhe was really cute. He couldn't help pinching his cheeks: "Keep working hard."
"What are you doing..." Duanmu Quhe's face turned red: "You...why are you like this..."
Ling Cang was just impulsive. Now he suddenly realized that he had gone too far. However, Ling Cang was a real sharp brother. He acted with a sharp demeanor that did not need explanation. He acted as if nothing had happened. He only said one sentence: "I'm leaving." Then he turned around and left.
After leaving the intelligence office, Ling Cang went to find Wu Lei and Kudo Feng. They had just arranged to investigate the Fuqing Gang. Tong Zhengrong called: "Are you free tonight? Come to Zhang's Kitchen and eat together. A meal.”
"Chief, why didn't you say anything when I was in your office?"
"What we discussed in the office was business. Now it's private." Tong Zhengrong told Ling Cang seriously: "Six o'clock sharp. Don't be late."
Just after putting down the phone call from Tong Zhengrong, Zhang Chaohua called: "Xiao Cang, are you free tonight?"
Ling Cang felt that he was going to Zhang's Kitchen anyway, so he replied: "Yes."
"Come to Zhang's little chef at six o'clock sharp. Let's have a meal together."
"Okay." Ling Cang sighed silently. He couldn't understand why these two old guys were so interested in each other and why they called him separately.
In fact, Tong Zhengrong and Zhang Chaohua didn't care. They just planned to have a small-scale dinner. They only brought their respective family members. Considering the relationship between Ling Cang and themselves, they both felt that they should inform Ling Cang themselves.
When Ling Cang arrived at Zhang's kitchen, Tong Zhengrong and Zhang Chaohua were both sitting there. They said hello together: "Come in quickly."
Having just said that, Tong Zhengrong and Zhang Chaohua looked at each other, then laughed loudly, and said together: "So you also informed Ling Cang."
"Of course..." Tong Zhengrong smiled and shook his head: "I promised my granddaughter to him."
Tongtong gently poked Tong Zhengrong: "Grandpa, what did you say..."
Zhang Chaohua nodded. Then he said: "I have also promised my daughter to Ling Cang. I plan to wait until they graduate to get married."
Zhang Yiting's face also turned red. She also lightly poked Zhang Chaohua: "Tonight is a dinner party for everyone. Don't talk about this..."
"I really don't know. How good is this kid..." Tong Zhengrong glanced at Ling Cang. He felt that he looked like he was engaged in performance art. He was not worthy of his smart and dexterous granddaughter: "How can he combine two good people?" The girls took them all."
Ling Cang was thick-skinned enough. Hearing Tong Zhengrong's words, he said nonchalantly: "Brother is L'Oréal Paris. He is worthy of you..."
"Shut up." Tong Zhengrong interrupted Ling Cang impatiently: "Even if you are really L'Oreal, I don't want to wipe your face."
As soon as the words hit the target, everyone laughed. After a while, Tong Zhengrong said seriously: "Actually, Ling Cang is still very good as a subordinate."
Zhang Chaohua already knew that Ling Cang was working for Tong Zhengrong, but he didn't know the specific situation. Due to the habit he developed in the army, he wouldn't ask any questions. He just told Tong Zhengrong: "Xiao Cang is indeed quite capable. He can do this in such a big way. In a short period of time, you helped me build such a big store."
"Lao Zhang..." Tong Zhengrong was about to drink. When he heard this, he put the cup down again: "I have said before that I will give you some money to do business. But you have never agreed. Look. Come on, my old boy’s money is not as useful as some people’s…”
"Chief, you can't say that..." Zhang Chaohua shook his head: "After all, your status is special. Give me a little help. In the eyes of others, it may be a big deal. Not only for me, but also for you. It may have consequences. Some negative influences. Ling Cang is different. I already regard him as my son-in-law. No matter what he does, no one will make any comments."
"Lao Zhang, you are always very considerate when doing things." Tong Zhengrong nodded thoughtfully. Then he asked Ling Cang coldly: "I have always wanted to know. This hotel has such a big investment. You Where did you get it from?"
Before Ling Cang could answer, Tong Haizhou rushed to say: "Dad, Ling Cang naturally has a way. You don't have to worry about it so much. If he does anything illegal, I will not let him go."
"That's okay." Tong Zhengrong nodded: "This kid is really going to break the law. I don't care about other things. Let Tongtong break up with him immediately."
"Ling Cang, come here..." Tong Haizhou came back from the capital specifically to attend this dinner party. He had not spoken much. Then he called Ling Cang to his side and said softly: "I know this hotel is how come."
"Oh." When Ling Cang heard this, his face remained calm and calm: "I didn't expect you to be so concerned about Ming Hai's affairs after you were promoted."
"I don't have to care about Minghai, but I have to care about your affairs." He looked at Tong Zhengrong and didn't pay attention to him. Tong Haizhou continued: "Don't worry. I don't mean anything else. I just want to praise you."
"praise."
"That's right. You've handled a series of recent events very well."
"Then you should know that I am already the boss of the Hong Ming Gang."
"I know. And... I hope you will continue to do so."
Ling Cang was a little surprised: "Why."
"One thing. I've heard about it too. You and Hong Xue have... a very close relationship. Then sooner or later you and the Hong Ming Gang will get involved. This is expected; and the other thing is that I feel sorry for you. I am a confident person. As long as you are here, the Hong Ming Gang will not do too many bad things."
Ling Cang's biggest feeling at this time is that the world is really wonderful. Many things are often unexpected. Hong Xue, who was born in the underworld, wants to get out of the underworld. As a policeman, Tong Haizhou wants to enter the underworld: "In fact, the Hong Ming Gang originally Not too bad.”
"I know that..." Tong Haizhou nodded and suddenly his face darkened: "But, no matter what, I still hope you will carefully consider your relationship with Hong Xue."
"I..." Ling Cang's tongue is very sharp. It is rare that he doesn't know what he can say. But at this moment.
"Don't forget. After all, Hong Xue has something dark about him. So I don't want anyone around me to have anything to do with Hong Xue."
Ling Cang immediately reminded: "But I am now a member of the underworld."
"Hong Xue is different. He comes from a mafia family." After a pause, Tong Haizhou continued: "In the land of Bashu, very few people don't know about their family named Hong."
"I think it doesn't matter whether you are born in the underworld or involved in the underworld." Ling Cang took a deep breath. Then he said one word after another: "As long as your heart is not dark."
"It makes sense..." Tong Haizhou stared at Ling Cang for a long time and softened his tone: "I'm just giving a suggestion. It's your right to choose."
"Thank you for saying that."
"By the way, before I came here, I heard my father mention it. I was checking on Brother Laohui recently."
"yes."
"I guess you should know something about the Ge Lao Hui and the Hong Ming Gang..." Pouring a glass of wine, Tong Haizhou continued: "When I was a graduate student at the Public Security University, one of my subjects was the development history of the Ge Lao Hui. My My mentor has traveled to Southeast Asia several times to investigate and visit local Ge Lao Hui organizations. However, in the end, no written information was formed. He just told me."
"So. You know something that others don't."
"That's right." Tong Haizhou nodded: "Ge Laohui is united on the surface, but in fact there are great internal conflicts, especially between the ancestors of the Hong family and Li Zitang. After all, the ancestors of the Hong family were separated from Li Zitang. Li Zitang must be unhappy. . More importantly, the two sides have different views on many principle issues. For example, how to treat other Hongmen organizations and the main sect. For example, the ancestors of the Hong family are relatively decent and do not agree with what other clan members do. As for the conflict between the two sides, it has completely intensified. It was the eve of mainland China's liberation. At that time, Renzitang convened various churches to discuss countermeasures. Lizitang's opinion won the support of most people. That is to move overseas and continue to develop Ge Laohui. Only the ancestors of the Hong family said: 'I have never done anything in my life. It's a shame. Why go to a foreign country...' This sentence was considered to be a sarcastic comment on other Tang members. After that, Zhi Zi Tang actually stayed, causing a split in Ge Lao Hui. Since Zhi Zi Tang gathered many elites, especially many Zhitan caused the Ge Lao Hui to suffer a great loss. It was in a state of decline abroad and lost its former glory. Lizitang therefore believed that Zhizitang was the culprit. So he made a cruel statement... The day Lizi returned, when Zhizi perished, two years ago. My mentor once saw in Malaysia that the Lizi Hall had statues of kneeling ancestors of the Hong family. It can be seen that after so many years, they still have not forgotten this hatred."
"That means..." Ling Cang took a breath after hearing this: "If Brother Hui really returns to the mainland, the Hong Ming Gang will inevitably face a bloody battle."
"They may have come back. They just haven't figured out the development of Zhizitang in the past few decades, so they haven't taken action yet." After taking a sip of wine, Tong Haizhou emphasized: "You must keep an eye on the matter of Brother Laohui."
Although Tong Haizhou had a prejudice against the Hong Ming Gang, and even though Tong Haizhou's original intention was to maintain social stability, his words still indirectly helped the Hong family. Ling Cang was very grateful. He nodded heavily: "I understand."
Tong Zhengrong kept chatting with Zhang Chaohua. Seeing Ling Cang and Tong Haizhou whispering all the time, he shouted unhappily: "Hey, what are you two talking about?"
Tong Haizhou smiled: "It's about work."
"Tonight is a family dinner. We will discuss work matters during working hours."
