Wen Liang's knowledge of Dandelion was limited to the ancient castle-like entertainment venue in the alley of West City, the unique musical fountain in the square in front of the door, and the strange and mysterious colorful cat's eye on the business card. Although these things alone have already demonstrated the extraordinary strength of the boss of Dandelion, such a net worth is only a small fortune in Qingzhou. Looking at the entire province of Jiangdong, there are countless people like crucian carp crossing the river.
If he had not heard Lord An Bao's words with his own ears today, he would never have imagined that Dandelion actually had such a huge resource network and had such an astonishing control over the Guanshan underground world.
Dandelion, a nice name, but tonight it exudes an inexplicable murderous intent.
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment. He could only find out more about Dandelion's background later. The most important thing now was to come up with a way to deal with the crisis. He said, "The news only said that it was an order from Qingzhou. How can you conclude that it is to harm Director Zuo?"
An Baoqing bowed and smiled in public, a typical image of a profiteer, but in private he always had a gloomy face and rarely smiled. This was exactly the opposite of Zuo Yuxi. Director Zuo was cold in front of people but charming behind people, with all kinds of tenderness, blooming only for one person!
"The situation in Qingzhou is like this, it's not difficult to see through this." An Baoqing paused, then asked tentatively: "About July's incident, Master Wen, you..."
Wen Liang understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "I know everything about the pig kidneys. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's nothing to be taboo about." On the night of July's rebirth, it was not until Wen Liang left that Zuo Yuxi summoned An Laojiu to take away the pig kidneys. After that, Wen Liang never showed up in this matter again, so An Baoqing privately guessed that Wen Liang might know about this, but he didn't dare to say it rashly.
Seeing that Wen Liang could even call out the gangster's nickname, he immediately became much bolder in his words: "Think about what happened that night. If someone did it the first time, they can do it the second time! What's more, this time our fight with the other party will be even more brutal. It's either you die or I live. Who can guarantee that the audacious madman Fan Hengan will not take risks, whether it's to besiege Wei to save Zhao or to fight to the death. It's better to have more hope than to sit and wait for death. From what I know about him, this man was born a gangster. He has been pampered for many years, but the desperado in his bones has not diminished at all. The possibility of him doing this is very high."
An Baoqing was able to reach his current position, of course, because of Zuo Yuxi's secret care, but more importantly, this person was ruthless and extremely smart. Just by listening to his words, you can tell that there is real truth behind his reputation.
Wen Liang did not comment, and said: "Well, what else?"
"If they had acted immediately, they would have entered Qingzhou directly, instead of going through Guanshan and staying in one place for three or four days. According to the customs of the Dao, they should be waiting for orders from Qingzhou. In other words, they will not act immediately, but will wait and see how the situation develops before taking action. This just shows that Fan Hengan is secretly making trouble. He thinks the current situation is not the most critical moment, so he is still watching and hesitating. Once he is really pushed into a desperate situation, it will be hard to say..."
Wen Liang rubbed his brows with his fingers. He agreed with An Baoqing's conclusion, but it was deeper than he thought. If it was really Fan Hengan who directed all this, his reason was not what An Baoqing inferred, that he could do it on the first day of the month. It was that Fan Hengan saw the essence of Xu Fuyan's rebellion - without Zuo Jing's alliance, he could not shake Zhou Yuanting's foundation in Qingzhou with his own strength. As long as Zhou Yuanting, the big tree, did not fall, Fan Hengan, who was sheltering under the shade of the tree, would be fine.
So he tried to launch a final counterattack in a desperate situation through extreme means, or take Zuo Yuxi as a hostage, asking Zuo Jing to stay still, and see how far he can save it? If it doesn't work, they will die together! As for why it must be Zuo Yuxi, the reason is very simple - even if he wants to, he can't touch Xu Fuyan and Zuo Jing, and there is no possibility at all in China. According to Wen Liang's estimation, this person has such a strong desire for revenge. In his heart, he hates Zuo Jing the most, who caused a devastating blow to his career years ago, so it is very likely that he will use Zuo Yuxi as a scapegoat to vent his anger.
This is the real madness, this is the real recklessness! Character determines destiny, what a holy saying!
Wen Liang quickly filtered through the various situations and said coldly, "I'm sure that Fan Hengan must have seen Zhou Yuanting lose control of the Standing Committee after the Standing Committee on the 6th, so he decided to hire these people to prevent any accidents. I'm even more sure that these gangsters must be regretting it now. Fan Hengan must have concealed Zuo Yuxi's identity. Otherwise, these people are just seeking money. No matter how fearless they are, they know one thing: the money earned by risking their lives must also be spent!"
Killing people in the country is not a big deal, but if a gun is used, it is a major case that must be solved. Taking a step back, the shooting case may be suppressed, but after shooting a deputy-division-level cadre with a powerful background and in office, there will be no place for this group of people to hide anywhere in the world.
An Baoqing's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, if we really want to do it, Jiangdong Province is so big, how can we find a few people who are not afraid of death? No one would be stupid enough to take such a job, so we can only deceive people outside... But these people rarely go out, it is impossible for them to know the identity of Director Zuo so quickly, how can they regret it?"
Wen Liang suddenly changed the subject and sneered, "Why did Dandelion give you the news today?"
An Baoqing frowned and asked in confusion: "Cat Lady and I are friends. If she receives such news, she will definitely inform me... She knows the relationship between me and Director Zuo!"
Wen Liang was surprised, but his face did not show the slightest bit. On the surface, An Baoqing had always been an enemy of Zuo Yuxi. The number of people in Qingzhou who knew this secret could be counted on one hand, and even Liu Tianlai had not yet figured out the true relationship between the two.
The relationship between Cat Girl and An Laojiu is definitely not just friends!
Wen Liang changed the subject again and asked, "Did you watch the news on Jiangdong TV this afternoon?"
An Baoqing was confused by Wen Liang's irrelevant question and said, "No!" Then he felt his tone was a bit stiff and explained, "I haven't watched TV for a long time."
"Brother Jiu, since you're in this place, you should still pay attention to current affairs news." Wen Liang smiled and said, "Just this morning, Yu Peidong officially expressed his support for Xu Fuyan, and right now, Xu Fuyan should be sitting in the office of the provincial party secretary, reporting on Qingzhou's work."
An Baoqing opened his mouth wide. If Wen Liang hadn't told him about these things, he really wouldn't have known. He was a smart man and figured out the whole story in an instant. He changed color and said, "Mother Cat..."
"Dandelion definitely didn't just get the news from that group of people. To be more precise, they should have just received Yu Peidong's decision. With their power, it's not difficult for them to get the inside story at the first time - it's obvious that this decision is very beneficial to us!"
An Baoqing understood the unfinished meaning in Wen Liang's words, how could he not understand? Dandelion believed that Xu Fuyan was about to achieve a decisive victory in Qingzhou, so she deliberately sold him a favor. Otherwise, no one would rashly get involved in the muddy waters of Qingzhou.
An Baoqing was still hesitant: "Cat Girl will never lie to me..."
Wen Liang sighed secretly. He just realized that Cat Girl might be An Laojiu's Achilles' heel. He must pay attention to this. However, he smiled and said, "I can't say for sure what Cat Girl is like, but since you are so sure, it shouldn't be a big deal. She is in Qingzhou and has limited influence on Guanshan. It is very likely that she just received the notice and was not aware of it beforehand."
An Baoqing shook his head, and Wen Liang immediately realized that his judgment was wrong. The cat girl’s status in Dandelion should not be low!
"Actually, we don't need to worry too much. Since Dandelion has his eyes on them, he will not let them cause trouble. If a major case really breaks out, Dandelion will not have an easy time either. If I guess correctly, even if Yu Peidong did not express his opinion today, Dandelion would have warned that group of people, or reminded them of the serious consequences of this matter. If something really happens, no one can afford it." Domestic cases often lead to more trouble. Often, a major case can implicate countless unrelated cases, and many great people have fallen into this trap.
Wen Liang had no idea what kind of giant dandelion was, but he remembered that An Baoqing once said that the popular Baidu app at the Great World Club came from dandelion, so it would not be a serious app.
Then again, even if it is deeply rooted and is not afraid of being implicated, it is always better to have less trouble than more. Maintaining stability is not just the government's demand, but also the dandelions' demand.
An Baoqing temporarily shook off the confusion in his heart and said, "That's why you said that group of people have regretted it. I guess Dandelion will send someone to warn them..."
"Just make a phone call and you'll know!"
Wen Liang called Zuo Yuxi and hung up after a while. An Baoqing felt like he was about to stop breathing. For him, who had ever thought that one day he would be able to personally experience the tragic fights between various factions and countless officials at the provincial and municipal levels? He was extremely nervous, but he could not see any emotional fluctuations on Wen Liang's face. He was anxious but admired him even more.
"Yu Peidong was furious after hearing the report and has called a meeting overnight. If nothing unexpected happens, a special task force will be set up soon to thoroughly investigate the Qingzhou corruption case."
An Baoqing felt relieved, and then he remembered Wen Liang's detailed analysis just now. He was shocked and completely believed his inference.
"What about Director Zuo's safety?"
"The Guanshan Public Security System will take action tonight, and there will be results by tomorrow morning at the latest. I hope that gang of criminals won't have time to escape... Don't worry, Liu Tianlai has arranged police protection all the time, so nothing will go wrong!"
When the investigation team was first established not long ago, Wen Liang had instructed Liu Tianlai to send someone to protect Ji Su and Su Rui, mainly to prevent someone from using them to threaten Ji Zheng. Liu Tianlai considered one more layer and made detailed arrangements for Xu Yao, Zuo Yuxi and others, just in case. It must be said that the old ones are still the best!
The most difficult thing in the world is to declare war on the vested interests, but no matter whether it is open or covert, black or white, the sixteen-year-old boy firmly seizes the initiative and knocks down visible and invisible enemies one by one.
No exceptions!
