When we got back to the hotel, it was already midnight.
Zhu Tianlei was lying on the bed, thinking about what happened today, and felt a little irritated.
What would be the identity of a person who could have the ability to drive Yang Zhongmin?
How many enemies does he have, both openly and secretly?
Time ticks by.
When it was almost dawn, Zhu Tianlei finally felt a little sleepy.
It was not yet noon when he woke up. Zhu Tianlei ordered two dishes in the restaurant downstairs, then took out his phone and sent Zu Hai his location information.
Half an hour later, Zu Hai appeared in the restaurant.
After not seeing him for a few days, Zu Hai looked very haggard.
There was a lot of beard growing on his chin, and his eyes were red. He looked like a beast that had been trapped for a long time.
"Let's have a bite together."
"I won't eat, I have no appetite."
Zu Hai sat down opposite Zhu Tianlei and waved his hands, his tone unable to conceal his tiredness.
It has been three days since Ge Tianying's funeral, and the funeral has come to an end. Zu Hai's appearance is actually worse than before.
"People are like rice and steel. No matter what obstacles they encounter, they have to eat."
"Tianlei, I really have no appetite. Is there something wrong that you came to see me for?"
"Are you anxious?"
Zhu Tianlei still had a white jade-like lotus root slice on his chopsticks and looked at Zu Hai with raised eyebrows.
"There's been a lot going on in the gang recently, so it's really busy."
Zu Hai paused slightly.
"Busy? Zu Hai, we have known each other for a day or two. Is it necessary for me to play this kind of roundabout game?"
The lotus root slices in Zhu Tianlei's chopsticks fell into the soup bowl with a clatter as he said this, and the soup in the bowl splashed out, forming a puddle of water the size of a glass ball on the table.
"Tianlei, you...Hey, since the old man left, Xiao Yang seems to be a different person. The brothers in the gang live with one breath every day, for fear of saying something wrong that Xiao Yang will misunderstand.
, Xiao Yang re-established the rules. We all have to report our daily activities to him, I..."
Zu Hai didn't know how to express it. He had watched Ge Yang grow up, and because of this, he couldn't understand how a child who was as docile as a little white rabbit could turn into a furious lion.
, even a tyrant who doesn’t talk about any reason.
"He won't let you meet me?"
Zhu Tianlei put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the haggard Zu Hai.
"Xiao Yang was irritated because the old man left so suddenly. He will be fine after a while."
Zu Hai did not answer Zhu Tianlei's question, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Zhu Tianlei admires Zu Hai very much and is very attached to him. To be honest, if he had not known about it in advance, Zhu Tianlei would not have associated Zu Hai with the second leader of the Black Hawk Gang. This is a man with a very generous character but extremely
A delicate and soft person.
In everything, I always like to stand in the perspective of others. I would rather embarrass myself than criticize others harshly.
"Zu Hai, I think you know everything about Mr. Ge. Although you were evasive about the cause of Mr. Ge's death and refused to tell the truth, I can guess a little bit. Ge Yang was not stimulated. He
It was instigated and even controlled by someone with ulterior motives."
"Instigation and control? Tianlei, what do you mean by this? Xiao Yang grew up in a gang and is very shy. Apart from his brothers in the gang, he rarely interacts with outsiders. How could he be provoked and controlled? Are you listening?
What happened?"
Zu Hai immediately raised questions.
Zhu Tianlei smiled lightly and said nothing.
There are some similarities between Zu Hai in front of me and Hao Xinmei last night. They both treat adults as children. One thinks that Xiao Deng is simple and kind and has no ability to deal with hardships alone. The other thinks that Ge Yang has a gentle personality.
Shy has no evil intentions. As everyone knows, human nature is always beyond imagination.
"Think carefully about Ge Yang's reaction before and after Ge Tianying's death. You are very smart and know Ge Yang very well. As long as you can let go of the inherent obsessions in your heart, you can understand what I am saying."
Just as Zu Hai was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, Dongzi, I'm... Okay... Got it, I'll go back right away..."
Zu Hai put down the phone and stood up.
"Tian Lei, there is something wrong with the gang, I will leave first. I will carefully consider what you say."
After Zu Hai finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
The figure wearing a leather jacket looked very lonely.
Zhu Tianlei couldn't help but shake his head.
It is true to say that character determines destiny.
In order to repay his kindness, Zu Hai chose to turn a blind eye despite knowing that Ge Tianying had done many heinous things. Although it was a bit foolish and filial, it also showed his integrity. However, he only managed the gang's property and did not interfere with other matters.
The reason may be that you don’t want your hands to be contaminated with unclean things.
Now that Ge Tianying is gone, he has extended this kindness to Ge Yang. He has been a bachelor for thirty years and devoted himself only to the Black Eagle Gang. Zhu Tianlei does not believe that Zu Hai did not notice Ge Yang's abnormality, but he
I just don’t want to think too deeply about it.
Zhu Tianlei came to Zu Hai with the intention of inquiring, but more importantly, he wanted to remind Zu Hai that the person behind the scenes was definitely not just trying to use Ge Tianying's death to sow discord between himself and Ge Yang.
Instead, there is a bigger conspiracy inside, and this conspiracy may be a disaster for the Black Hawk Gang.
No matter what kind of person Ge Tianying is or what kind of person Ge Yang is, Zhu Tianlei at least doesn't want Zu Hai to be trapped in it and unable to pull it out.
"Tian Lei, Xiao Deng is missing!"
Near noon, Hao Xinmei called, and when she opened her mouth, she heard a hoarse cry.
When Zhu Tianlei rushed to Xiao Deng's rental house, Hao Xinmei was sitting on Xiao Deng's single bed in a daze. A chubby girl with a round face stood at the door. When she saw Zhu Tianlei coming in, she stepped aside.
"Tian Lei, Xiao Deng is missing, Xiao Deng is missing!"
Seeing Zhu Tianlei, Hao Xinmei immediately threw herself into Zhu Tianlei's arms, as if it was not her secretary who was missing, but her daughter.
"I know, I know, don't worry, maybe Xiao Deng just went out to relax!"
Zhu Tianlei reached out and gently stroked Hao Xinmei's hair a few times, then turned to look at the girl standing at the door.
"Are you Xiao Deng's roommate?"
The girl looked at Zhu Tianlei and nodded, her eyes were very red, and she seemed to have cried.
"When did you find out that Xiao Deng was missing?"
"I just got off the train early this morning. When I came back, I saw the lights in Xiao Deng's house. She pulled me and talked a lot. But I was too sleepy, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up, I found out
Xiao Deng has gone out."
Although the girl looks chubby, her voice is a bit waxy when she speaks.
"Then how can you confirm that she is missing instead of going out to relax?"
