"If you don't say anything, beat me. Beat me to death."
Zhang Xiaolong was completely angry, but the three killers were very strict and refused to say anything even if they were killed.
Zhang Xiaolong watched for a while and slowly calmed down. He walked up to the three killers who were hanging and no longer human, and said coldly: "Your lives are too worthless. I hired you to kill me."
No matter how much the people gave you, I will pay double the price. As long as you tell me, I promise to let you live."
There was silence in the warehouse, and one of the killers opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaolong. There was no hatred in his eyes, but a trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes.
Zhang Xiaolong said: "To be honest, I will let you go and give you double the commission. I always keep my word. Many people who wanted to kill me in the past have now become my subordinates. If you are gangsters on the road,
You should have heard of them all, so I don’t need to list them all.”
The third son, Xu Weiguo, and Guan Dongwu all came to assassinate Zhang Xiaolong, and now they are all Zhang Xiaolong's subordinates. Zhang Xiaolong is well-known in the world for his generosity of heart.
Zhang Xiaolong made such a guarantee, which was equivalent to sparing the lives of three people.
But the killer who looked at Zhang Xiaolong said feebly and hoarsely: "I'm sorry, we still have family."
"..."
Zhang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment. From the eyes of this killer, Zhang Xiaolong saw a begging look. They didn't want to live, they just wanted to die.
"Family?" Zhang Xiaolong muttered silently. He now understood why these killers were so tight-lipped.
Zhang Xiaolong was silent for a while, turned around and walked out, saying: "Call Zhang Quan and hand them over to Zhang Quan for handling. We must find out where they are from, what their names are, and what they did before. Since they don't
Say, we will check it ourselves."
"Please, kill us." The killer who just replied begged loudly.
Zhang Xiaolong turned around and looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I also have a family."
Soon Zhang Quan came with someone, and Qi Fanghang briefly handed over the three killers to the police, who asked the police to trace their identities based on fingerprints, DNA, and their whereabouts in City A.
Even if the three men committed suicide in prison, they could not stop the investigation from continuing.
Zhang Xiaolong left the warehouse, took the car directly back to Wang Xue's place, and spent the night with Wang Xue and his daughter.
The next day, Zhang Quan found out some clues. The three killers all used fake ID cards and went on a seven-day trip to the coast of City A with a tour group from Yuncheng, Shanxi.
Zhang Quan checked the other members of the tour group and found nothing unusual. The three people in the tour group who left after arriving in City A only made an appointment to meet up on the seventh day.
"Shanxi?" Zhang Xiaolong pondered for a while and quickly settled on one person: Shanxi Coal Industry King Feng Baokun.
Zhang Xiaolong did not go to the city hall, but took a bus directly to Flower Street.
Today's Flower Street is prosperous even during the day. Even the ladies who come out to sit at the counter are now operating in four shifts and three hours, and are open 24 hours a day.
The arrival of a large number of foreign tourists has expanded the customer base of Flower Street. You can often see Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese tourists holding cameras and looking sanctimonious wandering in Flower Street, and looking at the young girls at the door of the shops on both sides of the street with lustful eyes.
When Zhang Xiaolong's car arrived at the gate of Jiashui World, there was a tour guide carrying a pennant, talking in Japanese to six tourists wearing white hats. Looking at the obscene smiles on the faces of those tourists, you knew they were thinking about it.
What to think about.
Zhang Xiaolong sighed: “It’s really becoming more and more international.”
The car stopped at the entrance of Jiashui World. Wang Xiaofei came out to greet him and said in a low voice: "Landlord, I heard that there is another assassin. He is from Shanxi. Is he from Feng Baokun?"
"Let's talk after we go in." Zhang Xiaolong said as he walked quickly inside.
As soon as they entered the elevator, they saw Chen Tie running back. Zhang Xiaolong blocked the elevator door and waited for Chen Tie for a while.
After Chen Tie entered the elevator, he took a deep breath and said, "Landlord, if you want someone to go to Shanxi to kill Feng Baokun, you must let me go."
Zhang Xiaolong chuckled and said: "No. We have no evidence to prove that it must be someone sent by Feng Baokun."
Now the top floor of Jiashui World has been completely closed. As the headquarters, no one is allowed to enter, and there are guards at the top entrance at all times. The conference hall on the top floor has been renovated, completely decorated in Chinese style, with mild and elegant colors, giving
It gives one a feeling of majesty and grandeur.
Zhang Xiaolong walked into the conference room, picked up the remote control on the table, and turned on the cold air of the air conditioner to the maximum.
Wang Xiaofei brought the xo and wine glass over and asked: "Landlord, what are you going to do with it?"
Zhang Xiaolong picked up the wine glass, took a sip and asked, "Monkey, do you think it is feasible to send someone to Shanxi?"
Wang Xiaofei said: "It's okay to send people there, but it's difficult to attack Feng Baokun. Those coal bosses are rich and surrounded by groups of bodyguards, all of whom have guns. It's difficult to get close."
Zhang Xiaolong twisted his brows and felt that this was unreliable. There was no difference between sending someone to assassinate Feng Baokun and sending someone to his death.
Wang Xiaofei suggested: "Sending people there does not necessarily mean killing Feng Baokun. It is better to send people to investigate Feng Baokun. Such people are not clean."
Chen Tie said: "It's useless. People like Feng Baokun have been cleared from top to bottom. Even if there is evidence of a crime, they cannot be moved. Many people will stand up and take the blame for him."
Wang Xiaofei corrected: "If there is evidence, it depends on how it is used. We don't necessarily have to go through the official."
"What do you mean? Is it spread on the Internet?"
"Of course not, Internet communication will also be blocked. There is someone protecting Feng Baokun. The shortage of coal in China is not acceptable. If something happens to Feng Baokun's Coal Industry Group, it will seriously affect Shanxi's coal production." Wang Xiaolong shook his head, waving his fingers.
With a fortune-telling look, he said after a while: "We must find someone to replace him, so that we can have a chance to trick Feng Baokun."
Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Tie looked at each other, and Chen Tie said: "I'm afraid no one in Shanxi's coal business can replace Feng Baokun."
"Wait." Zhang Xiaolong thought for a moment and said, "We can find a group of people to replace Feng Baokun, just like the Xu family was split after Xu Junbao died, although Feng Baokun is not dead yet, and then choose someone to replace Feng Baokun."
Zhang Xiaolong raised the wine glass in his hand, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. They were all old brothers. Wang Xiaofei and Chen Tie understood what Zhang Xiaolong said.
Wang Xiaofei said: "I will immediately send people to Shanxi to investigate the situation. It is best to move Feng Baokun before winter. If coal procurement starts in various places, Feng Baokun cannot be touched casually."
Chen Tie asked for orders: "I'll go."
Zhang Xiaolong shook his head and said: "You can't do it. Everyone knows you are the cadres of Longtang. Your target is too obvious. Choose someone from below." Zhang Xiaolong suddenly thought of two people and pointed at Wang Xiaofei: "Your two concubines.
Feiyan and Hede seem to be from Shanxi, how about letting them go?"
Wang Xiaolong was startled, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "What a good idea."
…………
At this time, in Shanghai, Feng Baokun received the news that the dead soldiers had failed. He walked around the room and cursed: "They are a bunch of losers. I have been feeding them in vain."
As Zhang Xiaolong and others had guessed, it was Feng Baokun who sent the killer.
In Feng Baokun's room, Li Lang was reading a book of real-life photos, looking for his next target. He raised his head and said, "Old Feng, stop wandering around. It makes me dizzy."
Feng Baokun sighed and said, "Landlord Zhang is really tough on his fate. All the people I sent out were lost in City A."
Li Lang said: "Landlord Zhang has great hands and eyes in City A. He is responsible for both black and white. If you send someone to assassinate him, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog. Once you go, you will never come back."
Feng Baokun walked to the wine cart, poured a glass of wine, and drank it in one sip angrily.
In the past few days, Director Wang has been making more and more moves in Taiwan and asked them to allocate funds to follow up.
Lilang's side is a little better, with plenty of liquidity. Although shipping profits have been meager in recent years, Lilang's family is rich and there are many ships. Small profits but quick turnover can still make money. He also took advantage of other shipping companies' miserable experiences.
At that time, many large-tonnage cargo ships were acquired at low prices, expanding the company's scale again.
However, Feng Baokun is a little struggling. Although the weather has not turned cold yet in July and August, the winter coal storage work in various places has already started in advance. He has to invest money to speed up production, organize transportation, and invest money in the financial field.
A certain amount of suffering.
As the old saying goes: "Landlords don't have enough food left."
Li Lang saw Feng Baokun's embarrassment and asked a little worriedly: "Old Feng, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Baokun poured another glass of wine, sat down opposite Li Lang with the glass in his hand, sighed, and said: "In recent years, many small coal mines have been closed in the local area, but the demand for coal is increasing year by year. The superiors are forcing
I have acquired and integrated many coal mines and invested a lot of money in them. Now it is a bit difficult for me to provide money."
Li Lang asked kindly: "How much is the difference?"
"If it's one to two billion, I won't have to worry. Mr. Wang asked me to invest three billion, but I can only move two billion, and there is still a gap of one billion."
"No. Lao Feng, you will have no money."
"If we insist on taking it from outside, five to six billion is fine, but I have to ensure production! If the coal supply is insufficient, will the people above keep me safe? I'm afraid they have harmonized me long ago."
Feng Baokun sighed and said: "There are some things we cannot control. If we can kill Landlady Zhang, we won't have to go to such trouble."
"So you sent a killer there?"
"I don't know what to do, go there and get one billion? Can you lend me one billion?"
This time Li Lang also became silent. If he was short of one to two hundred million, he could help.
