The villa where Ding Maozhong lived was very far away from where the Holy See was stationed. After receiving the call from Ling Cang, Yi Zhantian didn't waste a moment and immediately set out on the road.
When they arrived at their destination, Yi Zhantian took the Vatican and jumped into the wall. There happened to be two bodyguards patrolling inside. Yi Zhantian didn't say anything and just chopped them down with his sword.
One of the bodyguards let out a painful cry before he died, which alarmed the room. More bodyguards rushed out.
Yi Zhantian ignored the entanglement with the bodyguards and rushed directly into the building. Then he searched every room. Finally, he came to the study. He still didn't see the Ding family and his son.
"It's too late." Yi Zhantian caught a glimpse of a cup of tea on the table. He went over to touch it and found that it was still warm: "It seems that he hasn't gone far. Dai Yunjie. Search the nearby area immediately and find the Ding family and his son."
Dai Yunjie had been following Yi Zhantian. Hearing this order, he immediately went to do it: "Yes."
Yi Zhantian turned around and went back outside. He found that there were constant shouts of killing in the distance and people were pleading. He walked over and found several bodyguards kneeling on the ground with their hands raised high: "Don't kill us. We don't want anything." Know……"
Luo Chun stood in front of them. He didn't say a word. He just kept a sullen face and kept swinging the broad sword. Every time he swung the sword, a bodyguard fell to the ground with blood pouring from his body. He was very cruel. Before the bodyguard, The wounds on the body were deep and long. Internal organs could often be seen flowing out.
Yi Zhantian said in a deep voice: "Bishop Luo, that's enough."
Luo Chun didn't stop. He killed the last bodyguard and then slowly turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Don't waste time on these little people." Yi Zhantian reminded him word for word: "Quickly find the Ding family and his son. They have run away."
"Okay." Luo Chun agreed and took steps to chase him out.
Yi Zhantian suddenly shouted: "Bishop Luo..."
Luo Chun slowly turned around: "What's wrong?"
"you've changed."
"That's right. I have changed..." Luo Chun smiled wryly: "I have become different from before."
Although Yi Zhantian reacted quickly, it was still a step too late. The Ding family and his son seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving no trace.
In desperation, Yi Zhantian had no choice but to report to Ling Cang: "I'm sorry, sir. We failed..."
Ling Cang cast the net before and closed it now. He caught a lot. Unfortunately, the two largest fish escaped. He put down Yi Zhantian's phone. Ling Cang let out a long sigh.
"That's good." Liang Xiangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Where are Ding Shijia and his father?"
"They are both lucky this time. However, if you have a score, don't be afraid to settle it."
Liang Xiangyu played for a while and then left. Ling Cang had just sent him away when someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Ling Cang opened the door and found an unknown man standing outside: "Who are you?"
"My name is Su Xinyu." The other party looked at Ling Cang and said calmly: "My boss is Ding Maozhong. I want to talk to you."
Ling Cang took a glance and found a black Mercedes-Benz parked outside the door. There were several people standing around.
Ling Cang didn't say anything. He strode over, opened the car door and got in: "The surname is Ding. We meet again."
"Again, regardless of age or seniority, you should call me Uncle Ding."
"Being an elder is not easy. You have to have both ability and political integrity. You are too wicked to be my uncle."
"Why am I so wicked? Because I plotted against the Hong Ming Gang." Ding Maozhong smiled coldly, with obvious disdain in his tone: "The Hong Ming Gang is a gangster. Although it is now doing serious business, it still relied on violent means and The raw capital accumulated through illegal activities. They have developed to the point where they can lead the northern underworld today. I don’t know how many corpses they trampled under their feet. They are not innocent at all. I just use their methods to deal with them in turn. What’s wrong? Maybe. You think you are innocent. But after all, you joined the Hong Ming Gang and you still hope that you can get rid of the relationship."
Ling Cang had to admit in his heart that Ding Maozhong's words made some sense. But he didn't admit it on the surface: "So what."
"Not so much." Ding Maozhong chuckled: "You don't understand what happened between me and the Hongming Gang. You don't need to figure it out. I just want to tell you. If you are willing to avoid it, then I It won’t be against you.”
"The fact that you can come and say this to me proves that you are a little afraid of me."
"You are very loyal. I appreciate it very much. But loyalty is useless in this era." Ding Maozhong said this, with a somewhat helpless expression: "The era we live in no longer belongs to classicism and romanticism. Everything is It starts with the word 'profit'."
"I don't want to discuss life with you. Anyway..." Ling Cang also smiled. Then he told Ding Maozhong categorically: "Hong Xue is my girlfriend. Her affairs are mine."
"That's right. You won the game. But there is still a long way to go. Don't think that Uncle Ding is helpless." After a pause, Ding Maozhong asked with a half-smile: "I'll send someone to the Zhang family's kitchen. You They took the opportunity to attack my home, but they didn’t expect that I would do the same..."
"I really didn't expect that you didn't hide after you left home. You actually came directly to my door. I didn't expect that you could escape from home immediately and let my people escape." Ling Cang asked lightly: "Do you want to attack me now?"
Ding Maozhong asked back: "What do you think?"
The two people looked at each other and said nothing. The air in the car seemed to solidify. After a long time, Ling Cang finally said: "Are you okay?"
"there is none left."
"Then farewell."
"goodbye."
Ling Cang got out of the car, looked at Ding Maozhong's men, and walked back to the house.
From beginning to end, Ding Maozhong's men did nothing. After a while, they got in the car and left directly.
Ling Cang estimated that Ding Maozhong came here just for a demonstration to prove that he was still strategizing. However, he couldn't figure out his own details and his energy had been severely damaged just now. It was unlikely that he would take action immediately.
Ling Cang was thinking about what to do next. Fan Xinghai called. His tone was quite angry: "Why did you lie to me?"
"What did I lie to you about?"
"The people who are fighting with Ding Maozhong are not the Hong Ming Gang at all."
"On what basis do you say that?"
"I have investigated. The people from the Hong Ming Gang didn't do anything at all. Now they are busy cleaning up the mess." After a pause, Fan Xinghai asked one word at a time: "Where did you find this person?"
"Okay. I admit that I did hide some things." Ling Cang sighed helplessly. Then he said: "But I hope you understand. I have no ill intentions."
"You should tell me the truth without any malice."
"There are some things that I really can't say. You'd better not inquire." After a moment of silence, Ling Cang reminded meaningfully: "You should remember that last time you caught me, I told you that the case would definitely be handed over. .What is the result..."
Ling Cang had no way to explain, so he had to use the 03 brigade to suppress it. It turned out that this trick worked really well. Fan Xinghai said hesitantly: "You mean... this involves state secrets."
Ling Cang nodded with certainty: "Yes."
"Okay..." Fan Xinghai's attitude softened: "If something like this happens again in the future, you'd better tell me in advance."
"Didn't you tell me one thing in advance? Everyone is there for each other."
"What's up."
"You have an undercover agent working for me."
Fan Xinghai smiled and did not respond to this sentence: "Okay. Nothing happens. You can do your business."
Fan Xinghai was not the only one to accuse him. Ling Cang had just hung up the phone when Tong Zhengrong called in again: "What are you doing... Listen to me. The intelligence system cannot be used casually. You didn't get my consent. Why?" Let Duanmu Quhe investigate without authorization."
"How did you know."
"I went to inspect the work today. Duanmu Quhe said it accidentally..." Tong Zhengrong snorted heavily and said a little dissatisfied: "This damn girl wanted to hide it."
Duanmu Quhe had some protein, but he was not stupid. As soon as Ling Cang mentioned that he wanted to investigate Ding Maozhong, she guessed that it had nothing to do with work and must be Ling Cang's own business. So she didn't ask the reason at all. She also took the opportunity to blackmail a Winnie the Pooh.
Speaking of which, it is normal to use state resources to do some personal things, but the leaders cannot find out. Unfortunately, it happened to be discovered this time. Because Duanmu Quhe was a little afraid of Tong Zhengrong, he accidentally let it slip. .
"Leader, there must be a reason why I did this..." After a pause, Ling Cang continued: "Ding Maozhong has a mysterious background. We should investigate it carefully."
"how to say."
"He suddenly took action to attack the Hongming Gang. He almost became the boss of the Minghai underworld."
"This kind of underworld conflict should be left to the police to resolve. Aren't you and Fan Xinghai from the city bureau quite familiar with each other? Let him investigate. Don't you know that the 03 Brigade has more important things to do..."
"I always feel that this is not a simple underworld conflict." Ling Cang shook his head: "Ding Maozhong is very deep in the city and has far-reaching goals. It's hard to say what he will do next."
"You just want to nip it in the bud."
"right."
"Not out of personal need."
"this one……"
"You think I don't know about your relationship with Hong Xue." Tong Zhengrong sneered and said, "You don't want to use the state machinery to help your girlfriend."
"There is indeed such a factor." Ling Cang admitted honestly. Then he added: "But, chief, you can think about it. Since I joined the 03 Brigade, have I done anything for myself with national resources."
"It seems not yet."
"I have met many powerful opponents. Ding Maozhong is nothing." In order to show his integrity, Ling Cang stared and said nonsense. But he said it as if it was true. No one could doubt: "This time I am so There is indeed a reason for doing it. I always feel that Ding Maozhong is not an ordinary gangster or businessman. He must have another identity."
