"I heard Wanqing say that you opened a music store a while ago. I always wanted to come over and have a look, but I didn't expect to meet him here. Ha, Lingjiang is really small, but your music store is quite big...
...Xiao Tang, you don’t have to be busy, I just happened to bump into you this time, and I have something to do, so I’ll leave later.”
In the Tang Yun Qin Pavilion, Lao Wei looked at the musical instruments arranged in an orderly manner throughout the room. Behind the cashier, Tang Chao put down the open tin tea can in his hand.
"Then wait until the next opportunity comes. You didn't entertain me well, Uncle Wei."
Lao Wei waved his hand to indicate that he was not there, and asked in a pointed way: "Friend?"
"That's right, neighbors, people doing business in the same building." They are all acquaintances, there is no need to cover up, and it can't be covered up. Tang Chao glanced at the few big men who came in together, and it was probably because of the
Lao Wei did not force his way in, but his eyes never left the passage behind the hall. He smiled and said, "I'll call him out. By the way, Uncle Wei, you won't do anything to him, right? It's illegal."
We can't do this."
This is a joke. The Tang Dynasty is still very clear about Lao Wei's character. Sure enough, Lao Wei shook his head helplessly: "I just asked a few words, but it actually has nothing to do with him. He is too nervous... Well, we are here too.
The rush probably scared him."
"Understood, wait a moment."
After explaining the situation and taking Xiao Cao out of the inner lounge, Lao Wei did not go over to ask, but looked at him and asked an accompanying man to do it for him, while he stayed where he was and continued chatting with Tang Chao, or explaining.
.As I said before, we are all acquaintances and always need an explanation, not to mention there are some other reasons.
"...Mu Ling, this girl, I don't know what she is doing now. I called her some time ago and couldn't get through. She was so mysterious. I'll organize a dinner party for everyone to get together. It's been a long time.
See you... By the way, Xiao Tang, you, like Wanqing, have some relationship with the Xie family, right?"
Before Tang Chao was able to enter the Baicao Office, it was Zhong Wanqing's connection, and his relationship with the Xie family was not concealed. Of course, such personal matters cannot be publicized all over the world. Lao Wei vaguely knew that Tang Chao and Zhong Wanqing were related to the Xie family.
, but it’s not clear to what extent, that’s why we ask this question.
Tang Chao nodded: "Yes, my sister is from the Xie family."
Lao Wei made a sound and nodded: "Then you also know Mr. Xie Jianping, right?"
"Uncle Xie, we know each other, we are relatively close...Why, something happened to Uncle Xie?" Observing Lao Wei's expression and attitude, Tang Chao had some vague speculations in his mind.
Lao Wei nodded silently, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and immediately put it down after seeing the rather literary and artistic atmosphere of the music shop.
"It's okay, Uncle Wei, just smoke it."
"Forget it, it won't be long." Lao Wei put away his cigarette and sighed softly, "Mr.
The tendon was broken..."
"Huh?" Even though he was mentally prepared, Tang Chao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "When did it happen?"
"Just this afternoon, in a teahouse."
"Where is the person who did it?"
"I don't know... but it shouldn't be simple." Lao Wei took a breath and shook his head, "Xiao Tang, you know, after Baicao Office Street was disbanded, Wanqing asked someone to find me a job in Mr. Xie's security company.
It's pretty easy to work on the back line. I didn't know about this originally, but one of my former comrades was among the people who were slashed, and he is also in the hospital now..."
"Xie is always on guard. According to my comrade, there were six or seven bodyguards present, including him, and they were all good players, including a Sanda champion from the next province. On the other hand, there were only three of them on the other side. Although it was a sneak attack,
But from breaking into the teahouse stall to drawing a knife to kill someone, there is actually a reaction time, which is actually the same as a head-on confrontation."
"In this case, in just five minutes, the battle ended. They, including Mr. Xie, all fell into a pool of blood. Oh, there was also a Xie family member present at the time.
The name Xie Wei seems to mean that Mr. Xie came out to discuss things with her..."
"Wait a minute!" Tang Chao made a gesture and frowned instantly, then picked up the phone and said, "I'll make a call first."
Naturally, the call to Xie Wei did not go through. Listening to the voice prompt that the user you dialed has turned off his phone, Tang Chao's heart suddenly sank, and his expression changed. Fortunately, Lao Wei reacted at this time and said quickly.
,
"You and this Xie Wei...oh, don't worry, she's fine. The target of those knifemen was either her, or she might have been affected in the fight, and her arm was injured somewhere. I saw her when I went to the hospital to visit in the afternoon.
Yes, it has been taken care of. The phone was probably broken at that time."
Hearing this, Tang Chao couldn't help but breathed softly: "It's okay, Uncle Wei, you don't know something. Xie Wei is my sister's aunt. Well, what exactly is the situation, Uncle Wei, do you know?"
"I know something..."
Later, with Lao Wei's narration, the general outline of the incident finally emerged.
The cause was the Sanjiang Gang.
Not long ago, probably when the Xie family was having their funeral, the Sanjiang Gang suddenly turned against them.
This kind of thing is not surprising to be honest. There are some historical factors in it. The Xie family used to rely on port trade. Places like the dock were still relatively chaotic before the new century. That is when the Xie family started.
Supporting the Sanjiang Gang was considered a honeymoon period for each other. Later, with the gradual shift in the focus of the industry and the background relationship in the new era, the Xie family's emphasis on the Sanjiang Gang inevitably declined year by year, and the relationship between the two gradually became complicated.
There should be other reasons. For example, the Xie family wanted to bleach the Sanjiang Gang, which did have some effect, but at the same time they also encountered a lot of resistance. There are always some people who are used to living on the road and are not willing to go ashore. Over time, the Xie family
I have lost my patience here...
Now that there is a problem with the Xie family, some forces in the Sanjiang Gang took the opportunity to break away. Under the leadership of the former boss, a big man named Brother Shou, they defected to another family in Lingjiang. This was an expected operation. The Xie family probably did not
Thinking about revenge, at least in a short period of time, you should not have this idea, after all, you have too much time to take care of yourself.
But Xie Jianping is an exception. The connection between his security company and the Sanjiang Gang is too close. The Sanjiang Gang suddenly turned against him, which was tantamount to scheming with him. Several projects and a huge amount of money were all stolen by Brother Shou.
It ran away.
This amount is actually a public account, and the funds in it are the rewards for the cooperation between the security company and the Sanjiang Gang. Many of the Xie family’s operational conflicts will be solved by the security company on the surface, and the Sanjiang Gang will settle them secretly.
Some matters in between, such as special situations such as the forced demolition of real estate in the past, require the joint efforts of the two, and the remuneration will generally be paid into that public account.
There are also some private accounting transactions. For example, the reason why Xie Wei is involved this time is because Xie Jianping gave money to Brother Na Shou before, so that the latter could negotiate with the Qingwei Gang on his behalf to solve the problem of the logistics point.
.It can be regarded as a favor fee, but I didn’t expect that Brother Shou would betray him just a few days after the money was transferred...
If it was just a project interruption loss, Xie Jianping could bear it. After all, business is never smooth sailing, but he wanted to get back the sum of money and some money for personal accounts. After several negotiations, there was no result.
There was no choice but to resort to force.
As mentioned before, Xie Jianping is a well-rounded person who behaves in a smooth manner. No matter who he interacts with, he will feel comfortable. Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. They claim to be just a dragster, but Xie Jianping's attitude is still nothing to say.
, including his place of residence, work arrangements and subsequent social contacts, all were taken into consideration. Both brothers and sisters had a very good impression of him.
But this does not mean that Xie Jianping is an honest person with no temper. The actual situation is exactly the opposite. It is often people like this who would not offend anyone and would not easily expose their true thoughts to the outside world.
Only then can one be worthy of the word horror.
There were quite a lot of talents in Xie Jianping's security company. After some operations, the result was that Brother Shou gave in and returned the money.
Of course, the matter did not end with this. Xie Jianping himself knew this, so he was accompanied by bodyguards when traveling during this period, including discussing things with Xie Wei in the teahouse this afternoon - he should return the money to Xie Wei, and then
Helping the latter discuss how to solve the problem of logistics points - but I never thought that this level of security precautions would still fail to prevent the other party's retaliation...
"Xiao Tang, do you remember the Thai guy we met on the way to a field trip to the big star Guan Wenfan?"
"mercenary?"
"Yes, Lao He, that's my comrade. He said that the three people who rushed in all had obvious military aura, but they were not the regular ones. They were probably mercenaries... with ruthless methods, fierce momentum, and extremely high combat experience.
Rich, without any unnecessary movements, it is a killing move once it is released. If the task the opponent received was not to only hurt people, they would have to explain everything there! But even so, several of them were useless..."
"Director Wei." Just as he was talking, the other party had finished asking questions. The big man came over and looked at Tang Chao, but hesitated to speak. Old Wei waved his hand, "It's okay, we are all our own people. Let's talk."
"Yes, it's them. They came here two nights ago to touch up the color of their tattoos. They exchanged a few words with each other during the process. They used English and had a strange accent. They are definitely not Chinese. And..." The big man hesitated.
Next, he continued, "Although they are covered with tattoos, they should all have gunshot wounds on their bodies, and there are quite a lot of them. The shop owner said that he has seen similar ones before and will not admit it."
Hearing this, Tang Chao and Lao Wei looked at each other. The guess they just made was confirmed. Now they can definitely be mercenaries with a high probability.
Lao Wei's expression changed and he sighed: "That's all?"
"There is also a mobile phone number that they called when making an appointment. I don't know if it is still in use now."
The big man handed over a note. Lao Wei took it and put it away with a glance. He nodded to Tang Chao: "Sorry, Xiao Tang, I have something to do. I'll come to visit another day."
"Okay, Uncle Wei, I'll see you off."
"no, I'm fine."
Seeing Lao Wei and his party disappearing outside the door in a hurry, Tang Chao looked back and shook his head slightly. Now that the identity of the other party's desperado has been determined, Lao Wei and his team's pursuit will probably end here.
Well, they are all ordinary people. It is okay to take revenge on Brother Shou, but it is too exaggerated to deal with mercenaries and it is not possible.
A heavy sound of relief came from the side, "Huh... I was scared to death! Thanks, brother, I will never take on such a dangerous job again." Xiao Cao came over, patted his chest, and said with a look on his face.
An expression of lingering fear.
"I'm afraid I can't help you. 139xxxxxxxx, is this the number?"
Xiao Cao nodded subconsciously: "Yes, uh, why do you remember this number?"
"Just take a quick glance, I have a good memory." Tang Chao smiled and changed the topic, "Okay, the matter is settled, I have to close up."
Xiao Cao was stunned when he heard this and looked at the sky outside the glass door: "Is it so early today?"
