After hearing what Li Qiang said, Ming Jing nodded with some relief, but then he put down the porridge bowl in his hand and sighed heavily.
"Sister..."
"I'm fine. I just suddenly feel that my brothers have grown up all of a sudden. I can't control the older one. He can do whatever he likes. I really don't know what he is busy with outside every day...
You are still a little caring person, and you still care about your family. By the way, Ah Qiang, when the two of them get engaged, they have to buy some jewelry for Miss Cheng, right? Do you want to go to the old temple or Lao Fengxiang? "
"I think both of them are good, but it mainly depends on Miss Cheng's preference." Li Qiang replied with a smile.
"That's right. You can help me invite her out for tea some other time and explore her voice."
"Okay! I'll make the arrangements." Li Qiang glanced at his watch and said, "Sister, you take a good rest, I'll go to work first."
However, before he could turn around, he was stopped by Ming Jing, "Wait a minute, Ah Qiang. Before going to work, please take me to a bank in Hong Kong first!"
"But sister, your stomach...do you have to go?"
"You must go!" Ming Jing said with a firm nod.
"Okay, then you change your clothes first, and I'll go prepare the car."
In a short time, Li Qiang drove Ming Jing to the bank in Hong Kong.
Although Ming Jing's stomach still felt like a knife was twisting in her stomach, she relied on her strong perseverance to force herself into the vault with the bank staff.
It was not until the staff left that Ming Jing slowly and tremblingly opened safe No. 231.
In the safe, in addition to some gold and silver items, jewelry, and stock warrants that were used to conceal people's eyes, there was also half a banknote. Under the banknote was a note that read: Suspend all business and wait.
Come see the next dealer with coins!
As soon as he saw the content on the note, Ming Jing couldn't help but feel nervous. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes unconsciously, but he quickly calmed down and swallowed the note without thinking.
After carefully putting away the half of the banknote, he pretended to be nonchalant and walked out...
…
In Zhang's mansion, Li Shiqun took the teapot from the servant's hand, filled the teacup in front of him himself, carefully handed it to Zhang Xiaolin who was sitting on the main seat, and said respectfully: "Commander, please have some tea."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaolin raised his hand and knocked over the tea cup. He scolded angrily with a livid face: "Drink tea? What a waste! In just one week, I was assassinated twice. What do you guys, No. 76, do for food?"
Although he was splashed all over by the hot tea in the cup, Li Shiqun didn't even say a word. Instead, he explained with a smile: "Commander, please calm down. I have initially determined that these two assassinations were carried out by the military commander, and I am mobilizing manpower."
The investigation will be carried out, I believe it will be soon..."
"That's enough!" Before Li Shiqun could finish what he said, Zhang Xiaolin directly stopped him, "It's better to keep talking to your boss about these nonsense! I called you here today to inform you of something. From now on
From now on, we will suspend the payment of protection fees for gambling tables, tobacco pipes, dance halls and pier management fees in the west of Shanghai. When will you solve the case and when will I resume it? Have I made it clear enough?"
"But the handsome man..."
Li Shiqun was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhang Xiaolin raising his hand again, "I called you here just to inform you, not to ask for your opinion. If you still want to continue to collect those two fees, I'll give you a hard time."
Damn your brain, find out the mastermind behind this, instead of just talking nonsense with me! Do you understand?"
"Yes, this junior understands."
"As long as you understand, let's see the guests off!"
Until he walked out of the gate of Zhang Mansion, Li Shiqun always had a dark face, and even the muscles on his face were twitching uncontrollably in extreme anger.
Wu Shibao, who had been waiting outside the mansion, didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw this. He just silently stepped forward to help him open the car door. After he got in the car, he returned to the cab and started the car.
"Director, the handsome man..."
"You are not allowed to mention these two words in front of me from now on, do you hear me?" Before Wu Shibao could finish speaking, Li Shiqun, who was sitting in the back row, almost said each word through gritted teeth.
Although Li Shiqun's tone sounded very calm, it frightened Wu Shibao, who was in charge of driving, because he knew that Li Shiqun was extremely angry at this moment, so he quickly responded: "Yes! I understand."
At this time, in the Zhang Mansion, shortly after Li Shiqun left, the housekeeper knocked on the door and walked in, "Master, Ah Si wants to see you."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaolin, who had just vented his anger, took a sip of the fragrant tea just served by his servant and asked casually in a good mood.
"Said that I helped the master find a bodyguard who can shoot."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaolin's eyes lit up. It's no wonder that since he suffered two assassinations in succession, he had been hoping to find a few people with good marksmanship to act as bodyguards to better protect himself.
But it backfired. The news was released, but very few people came to apply. Some of them had never even touched a gun, let alone their marksmanship.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolin nodded quickly and said: "Let him come in!"
There was even a little excitement in his tone.
It was not long before the driver Ah Si walked in under the leadership of the housekeeper. He bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiaolin before calling "Master".
Zhang Xiaolin nodded slightly, "The housekeeper said, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
"Yes, sir, don't you want to recruit bodyguards? I happen to have a fellow countryman who came to join me some time ago. Please ask me to find something for him to do. Do you think you can let him come over and give it a try?"
"A fellow countryman?" Zhang Xiaolin couldn't help but squinted his eyes after hearing this, "Ah Si, tell me honestly, when did this fellow countryman defect to you?"
"last month."
"Is this true?"
"Master Mingjian, even if I kill you, I don't dare to lie to you!"
Although Ah Si's attitude seemed very sincere, Zhang Xiaolin still stared at him for a long time, and then finally asked: "What's the name of your fellow countryman?"
"As for the master, his name is Lin Huaibu."
"Lin Huaibu..." Zhang Xiaolin pondered for a long time before finally nodding and saying, "Okay! For the sake of your loyal service to me for so many years, I will see him and ask him to follow you tomorrow morning.
Come together!"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Si quickly bowed and kept saying "Thank you, sir!" until Zhang Xiaolin waved to him impatiently and then withdrew with great gratitude.
However, just after Ah Si left, Zhang Xiaolin called out, "Agui!"
Before he finished speaking, a strong young man wearing a black shirt walked in like a gust of wind, "Master, did you call me?"
"Go and check to see if Ah Si has recently met a fellow villager named Lin Huaibu. If so, check that guy's background. But the most important thing is to investigate whether Ah Si has any special dealings with anyone.
Especially in the past two weeks, after thorough investigation, report to me immediately!"
"yes!"
…
In the evening, the sky that had been gloomy all day finally started to rain, seeming to be trying hard to wash away the depression it had brought to people before.
After get off work, Li Qiang did not go home immediately, but drove straight to an inconspicuous coffee shop.
After casually ordering a cup of coffee, Li Qiang lit a cigarette and started smoking by himself, seemingly enjoying this rare leisure time.
But in reality, he was waiting for someone.
Soon, the waiter brought the coffee, and almost at the same time, a pleasant voice came from behind, "Please give me a latte, thank you."
Li Qiang naturally recognized the voice, so he took out a newspaper from his briefcase and pretended to read it.
"I said that I must remain absolutely silent during this period. Why do you still insist on asking me to meet here?" Li Qiang tried his best to lower his voice and spoke first.
After a short silence, the female voice couldn't help but ask: "I just want to know if something happened to Mingtai..."
"Who do you listen to?" As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang immediately frowned, "Someone came to see you, right?"
"..."
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess that it's Yu Manli, right?"
"She is really worried about Mingtai."
"So you violated discipline, ignored the silent order, and took the initiative to ask me to meet here?"
"I……"
"Okay, stop talking and go back!" Li Qiang said without mercy, "Remember, if it happens again, I will report it to the organization immediately and transfer you to the border area, do you hear me?
"
"Listen... heard..."
Cheng Jinyun never expected that Li Qiang's attitude would be so decisive, so he had no choice but to get up and leave the cafe silently.
At the same time, the air in the manager's office of Ming's Flour Mill seemed to be solid at the moment, making people breathless.
And the source that made everyone present stay silent and dare not even take a breath was none other than the 'madman' who scared everyone to the core, Wang Tianfeng!
"I think I should have made it very clear that no matter what happens, none of you will be allowed to join forces with the Red Party for any reason. But some people turned a deaf ear to my words and blatantly disobeyed my orders.
Yu Manli!"
"arrive!"
"Get out of the queue!"
Before she finished speaking, Yu Manli immediately took a step forward and walked out of the queue.
"Do you know the consequences of disobeying orders?" Wang Tianfeng walked slowly in front of Yu Manli, deliberately leaned into her ear and asked every word.
"I know." Yu Manli tried her best to control herself from shaking, biting her lips and replied.
"So, you knowingly committed the crime?"
"I will never remain indifferent when the team leader is in trouble. What's more, he and I are partners in life and death!"
"What a high-sounding reason, but unfortunately, in my case, no matter what the reason is, it is not a reason for you to disobey orders!"
After saying that, Wang Tianfeng took out his pistol and put it on Yu Manli's head.
At this moment, Guo Qiyun on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and quickly said to stop: "Sir!"
However, Wang Tianfeng just glanced at him and said slowly: "Why, are you going to disobey the order and plead for her?"
"I...I don't dare. It's just...it's just the right time to employ people. I would like to ask your superiors to spare her life and allow her to perform meritorious service."
"Well, this is more like what the students I taught said." As soon as these words came out, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Tianfeng suddenly changed the subject, "It's just that you dare to openly disobey like this.
I don’t need the person giving orders! Yu Manli, from now on, you are no longer a member of the special operations team. I will lock you up until the end of the operation. At that time, I will personally send you to the military.
court!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Take her with you! Let her starve for three days so that she can have a good memory!"
It was night, and instead of reducing the intensity of the rain, it intensified, threatening to turn into a heavy rain.
But even so, Paramount, as a benchmark in the industry, is still bustling with people coming and going. It seems that no matter how bad the weather is, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for entertainment and consumption.
In the private room on the second floor, Li Qiang was lying lazily on the sofa, enjoying the song and dance performance on the stage downstairs with great interest. He held a cigar in his left hand and a glass of red wine in his right hand, enjoying the music as if he was shooting from left to right.
The happiness of money people.
However, not long after, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
Before he finished speaking, a man in a long coat walked in.
"Don't tell me, I'm used to seeing you in military uniform, and I felt a little uncomfortable for a while. If I were walking on the street, I might not even recognize you! Takagi-kun." Li Qiang looked at the man standing in front of him.
Takagi joked with a half-smile.
But Takagi just snorted, then took off his hat, sat down opposite Li Qiang, and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, how can you be willing to keep a secret for me? Please give me a price!"
"
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang smiled and said, "Don't be so impatient, Mr. Takagi, talking about money is so tacky!"
"Then what do you want?"
"It's very simple. You only need to answer three questions from me, and I will keep the secret between you and Secretary Liu for you. Of course, if you really don't want to answer, you can choose to do something for me. How about,
This kind of deal is still a good deal, right?”
"Hmph! To put it simply, how do I know if you will keep your word?"
"You're right, but you don't have a choice, do you?"
As soon as these words came out, Takagi's face turned livid. However, after calming down, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to know?"
Li Qiang didn't expect Li Qiang to say something surprising. The first question made Takagi's eyes widen in surprise, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously, "Takagi-kun, if I guessed correctly, you should be a member of the Black Dragon Society.
