Beijing.
"Mr. Xiao, the reliable news I got is that Xu Tianyin is not in the military area recently. The old man of the Xu family was in Hong Kong a few days ago and just came back." In the hotel suite, Jiang Zhengqi glanced at Xiao Yi who was sitting opposite him as he spoke. , glanced at his hanging right hand.
That day, he was kicked by Xia Shao in the club room. When he got up, he knew that a fight was starting outside, so he had to hide in the room. When there was no movement outside, I went out to take a look. I was really shocked. The clubhouse was full of green hills, and most of the vegetation was dead. The yard in front seemed to have been bombarded, and the car seemed to have been flattened by some force. There was a pool of blood on the ground, with a severed stump in the blood. Xia Shao and Xiao Yi were both missing. silhouette.
Jiang Zhengqi was in shock at the time. He couldn't tell whether the stump belonged to a woman or a man. He could only see that it was black and purple. He felt his stomach churn when he looked at it again. He called Xiao Yi at that time, but failed to get through several times in a row, so he concluded that Xiao Yi was in danger.
Xiao Yi is not Xia Shao's opponent, and when Xia Shao came, she knew that it was him who had secret conversations with Xiao Yi in the club. After she killed Xiao Yi, she didn't know if she would attack the Jiang family. In the past, Xiao Yi said that the decline of the Wang family was Xia Shao's handiwork, but he didn't quite believe it. Now seeing is believing, and he can't help but be frightened. He still remembered how Xiao Yi killed his bodyguard in front of him. Now, even Xiao Yi was no match for Xia Shao, and he had to consider the consequences for the Jiang family.
With his father still being detained and under investigation, everyone in the Jiang family is now in danger, but everyone in the officialdom knows that the entire Jiang family group cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop. If so many officials from the Jiang family were moved from top to bottom, it would be no different than disturbing the country. The person above could only want to disturb the Jiang family. Anyway, if the Jiang family falls, there are others who can take over. As for the entire Jiang family group, it is just a slap in the face now.
Jiang Zhengqi knows this truth, so now he is not worried about Jiang Xi's life and death, but only focuses on saving his father.
Saving my father is not easy to save. I originally counted on Xiao Yi, but now I can't count on Xiao Yi, especially those who avoid suspicion whenever something goes wrong. It is said that at this time, those officials who are under investigation together with the Jiang family are the most sympathetic to the Jiang family, but the superiors are angry with the Jiang family. At this time, forming a gang is tantamount to seeking death for himself, so Jiang Zhengqi pays no attention to anyone. He only secretly found the Fang family.
Although the Fang family was investigated in this incident, judging from the investigation results, they were not greatly implicated. Moreover, the Fang family had to rely on the Jiang family if they wanted to climb up in the military. The Jiang family fell, and the person who replaced him later had his own relationship and might not be close to the Fang family. If they wanted to pursue something, they had to make further plans. Therefore, in the current situation, the Fang family is one of the few Jiang families who dare to use it.
Fang Yun has been abroad for ten years. Nowadays, not many people in Beijing know about her relationship with Qin Hanlin, but Jiang Zhengqi knows. While he asked the Jiang family to secretly contact the Wang family's old troops in the military area to find out the news, he asked Fang Yun to get close to Qin Hanlin to find out the tone of the Qin family.
Fang Yun hung up the phone with her father and only smiled bitterly. To explore Qin Hanlin's tone of voice? Did he really think that she was still the same person in Qin Hanlin's heart
She knew that she would not be able to find out anything, but she still met with Qin Hanlin. On this side, she didn't know whether it was to put on a show for the Jiang family to prevent the Jiang family from suspecting the Fang family, or because she wanted to see Qin Hanlin...
It is not easy to see Qin Hanlin. Fang Yun knows that if he calls him, he will definitely not see him. So she went to a golf course on the outskirts of Beijing, and sure enough she met Qin Hanlin there.
Green buds had just sprouted on the turf. Qin Hanlin was only wearing a thin white sweater with his sleeves rolled up. Under the warm sun at noon, there was a slight sweat on his forehead. The smile between his eyebrows when he looked back was even warmer than the warm sun. Up a few points.
Fang Yun stood still, a little dazed, as if she saw the young man who was beside her back then. It wasn't until the smile faded and his brows furrowed after seeing her that Fang Yun realized it and walked over with a smile, "What a surprise. I thought that when you came here, there would be several beauties around you. Stay with me."
Qin Hanlin also laughed when he heard this, and his brows seemed to have never been wrinkled. "I'm not surprised to see Miss Fang here. She is still so well-informed."
The smile on Fang Yun's face froze. She knew that Qin Hanlin thought she had checked on him before coming here. Otherwise, how could she know where he often came? In fact, she already knew this place. When she was abroad, she paid attention to every move he made. But she didn't explain it either, because she was afraid that if she told him, he would be even more unhappy. She just said in a joking tone: "Yes, I am still so well-informed, but you, alone and alone, have changed your gender?"
"Why, does Miss Fang want to fill the gap around me, or introduce some beauties to me?" Qin Hanlin laughed, and that smile looked sarcastic.
Fang Yun looked at his mocking gaze, her heart ached, her mind heated up, and she said, "If you are willing, I wouldn't mind starting over."
When Qin Hanlin heard this, the smile on his face didn't move. He just turned around and swung the ball out. The cold wind swept over Fang Yun, "Sorry, I mind."
Fang Yun stared at his back, seeing his rejection clearly. She felt sour in her heart, and couldn't help but laugh at herself. There was a reluctance in her eyes that she didn't even notice, "Yes, of course you mind. Your taste has changed now." Well, I like to look at people's cold faces. The more they ignore you or sound vicious, the more you like them."
Qin Hanlin turned around suddenly, and Fang Yun was stunned. She had never seen him look like this before. Not only was he cold, but he was also serious. The warm sun fell behind him, his face was in shadow, and his brows seemed to be covered with frost.
Fang Yun was stunned, and then indescribable sadness and anger surged in his heart. She had met Zhang Ruman before, and she didn't think there was anything special about this girl. She was just younger and a little energetic. To put it bluntly, if you don’t have experience and practice, you don’t know how high the sky is. In terms of family, skills, and qualifications, who can compare with her? It was true that she was sorry for him back then, but she had also missed him for ten years abroad. Now that she is back, if his heart was with someone better than her, she might not feel as uncomfortable as now. But his heart is with a girl who has a completely different temperament from hers. Is he taking revenge on her, telling her that he doesn't care about her at all, or is he really sincere
She would rather believe that he was retaliating against her, because the women around him over the years have come and gone with a temperament similar to hers... But it was precisely because of this that she felt panicked when there was such a different woman next to him. …
She checked and found that they had known each other for four years and had never dated or even interacted much. But it was such a person who made him do such risky things, so much so that he was now implicated and suspended and under probation. She knew Qin Hanlin too well. He had already been sophisticated since he was a boy. He was so slick that even the old foxes in his family couldn't figure it out. No one could catch him. The only time he took a risk was for her, and she betrayed him... Ten years later, he took a risk again for a woman. How could she not know whether he was sincere
Seeing Qin Hanlin's face turn cold, Fang Yun felt more certain and sad. After all, she is the daughter of the Fang family. She has been pampered since she was a child. The eldest lady has an inexhaustible temper. When she saw Qin Hanlin's cold face, her temper also rose. She couldn't help but smile, even more mockingly than before, "I guess this is not a man." A desire to conquer, right?”
"I think the skills Miss Fang has learned abroad over the years have been used on me. It's really an honor." Qin Hanlin did not answer, but laughed, but the smile was not in his eyes, "Since you like reasoning so much, let's continue. I'm not good at this, so I won't accompany you." After saying that, he picked up the coat he put aside and left.
"Qin Hanlin!" Fang Yun turned around angrily. Over the years she spent abroad, her patience had become much better than before, but she still couldn't help it in front of him.
Qin Hanlin actually stopped, but did not look back. His voice came from behind, coldly, "Also, since Miss Fang is so well-informed, why not use your intelligence network elsewhere. Whatever you want to check, check it yourself. Don't After checking again and again, they found me again.”
Fang Yun was startled, watching Qin Hanlin walk away, with a somewhat complicated expression of annoyance. Sure enough, he still knew what she wanted to do with him, and he was still so sharp... It was a pity that he always disturbed her mood, and she didn't even mention the business.
…
Fang Yun didn't get any news from Qin Hanlin, but the Fang family got one news from the military area.
Xu Tianyin has been away from the military area for a week.
It is not unusual for him not to be in the military area. Since he returned to China to take up his post, some files were made public, and many people learned that he had previously performed missions abroad and had made numerous achievements. Therefore, some old foxes know that sometimes there is some commotion in the military region, such as when he goes to the local army to do something like that. It may be just a cover-up. In fact, he is going abroad for another mission.
If similar commotion occurs in the military region this time, some people will not pay too much attention. What makes people suspicious is that Xu Tianyin is asking for leave this time. No one knows what kind of leave he is asking for or how long he will take.
The family tradition of the Xu family, whether in the military or official circles, does not tolerate the children of the family acting recklessly, let alone misusing public affairs for private purposes. Although the Wang family was defeated at the time, Mr. Wang's old subordinates were still keeping an eye on Xu Tianyin. This time they saw something was wrong and asked around to find out what was going on.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Xu Kangguo went to Hong Kong in secret, but some old foxes still got wind of it. They also heard that Xu Kangguo came back two days ago and was not in good health. The doctor did not dare to leave his side these days. .
The Fang family had some contacts with the Wang family's former members, so when they heard the news, they quickly told Jiang Zhengqi.
Jiang Zhengqi knew very well that with Xu Kangguo's status, he would not go out unless there were important state visits in recent years. He must have something important to do when he goes out! However, there have been no reports in the past two days, and he went out without telling anyone, obviously for private reasons.
What private matter could make this old man go out
Although Jiang Zhengqi couldn't find out, he still felt that something was wrong. Not to mention the strange outing of the Xu family man, he had been back for a week, and Xiao Yi had failed so miserably, but the Jiang family had nothing wrong at all! He originally thought that Xia Shao would cause trouble for the Jiang family, but she made no move at all.
Nothing could be found from the Xu family, so Jiang Zhengqi thought of checking Xia Shao.
Before Xia Shao left, he informed his generals about his schedule and other matters. Although Sun Changde and others would not tell all the employees of the group, a few important managers would still tell them, especially Fang Li and Zhu Yanlan from the capital. Xia Shao was studying at university in Beijing and would go to the company whenever she had nothing to do. She didn't show up for a long time and couldn't hide it from them. But once the matter was revealed, there was no airtight wall in the world. Even the news of Xu Kang's overseas trip could be spread, so don't talk about it.
Jiang Zhengqi couldn't figure it out. Xia Shao and Xiao Yi left in the afternoon when they met, and they were gone for three months? This was obviously something important. Although Jiang Zhengqi didn't know what it was, he was relieved and secretly felt that the Jiang family was still alive. Now that Xia Shao has left, at least he doesn't have to worry about anyone using mysterious methods to destroy the Jiang family behind his back.
In three months, the turmoil in the domestic officialdom would definitely be settled, and it would also give him time to find a way to save the Jiang family.
It's just that this method is not that easy to think of. Jiang Zhengqi hasn't thought of any move yet. To his surprise, Xiao Yi came to him.
Xiao Yi is not dead!
The moment he received the call, Jiang Zhengqi was indescribably surprised, and if Xiao Yi wanted to see him, he would certainly not refuse. The two made an appointment to meet at this hotel in the city center, but Xiao Yi didn't seem surprised after hearing the news given by Jiang Zhengqi.
Jiang Zhengqi waited for a long time and saw that Xiao Yi was only drinking tea and not talking. He could not tell what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Xia Shao is not in the capital either. She booked a flight ticket the afternoon she met Mr. Xiao and brought her with her I went to the west with two people. I couldn’t find out what she was going to do, but I heard she was going to be there for three months!”
While speaking, Jiang Zhengqi glanced at Xiao Yi's right arm that was hanging motionless. The lower half was obviously empty. Looking at Xiao Yi's face, although he had his head half lowered, his breath clearly gave people a much gloomier feeling than the previous few times they met. Sure enough, Xia Shao, who had boasted in front of him that day that she wouldn't survive that day, ended up almost dying in someone else's hands that day. Anyone else would have been holding back resentment in their hearts.
While watching, Xiao Yi drank the tea in his hand and raised his head.
Jiang Zhengqi was surprised when he raised his head. Not only was Xiao Yi more gloomy than before, his eyes were now black and blue, his eye sockets and cheeks were sunken, and when he raised his eyes, bloodshot eyes could be seen, and there was a bit of evil in the gloom.
"I know." When Xiao Yi spoke, his voice was deeper than before. A person like Jiang Zhengqi, who came from a background like this and was used to seeing scenes, actually held his breath, and some didn't dare to look at him.
But Jiang Zhengqi was still stunned, "Mr. Xiao knows?"
How Xiao Yi knew this, Jiang Zhengqi had no idea. Anyway, it was nothing more than his unpredictable methods. But thinking about it, it is true that if Xiao Yi didn't know that Xia Shao was not in the capital, how could he dare to contact him? Aren't you afraid that Xia Shao will block you when you show up? If you can escape with your life once, you may not be able to have that good luck again, right
Of course, Jiang Zhengqi didn't dare to say this. He just breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Yi knew everything and took the initiative to find him, he must have an idea. "What do you want to do, Mr. Xiao? This is a rare opportunity."
"I can save the Jiang family." Xiao Yi bluntly said something that made Jiang Zhengqi stunned.
After the daze, there was a surprise. Jiang Zhengqi has also been thinking about how to save his father these days, but the official methods are always too restrictive at this time. Xiao Yi is willing to take action, so naturally he is unaware of it.
"If Mr. Xiao can save the Jiang family, the Jiang family will naturally not forget Mr. Xiao's kindness!" Jiang Zhengqi stood up and bowed to Xiao Yi first. Xiao Yi would not help the Jiang family for nothing. He knew that he must have something he wanted.
Xiao Yi twitched his lips sarcastically, "I can save the Jiang family, but I don't know if the Jiang family has the courage to take on the wealth I gave them."
Jiang Zhengqi was startled and raised his head, forgetting to straighten up.
Xiao Yi did not explain, but smiled again, with a hint of indifference and coldness in his ridicule.
What does it matter whether you can afford it or not, or whether you have a life to bear it? What he saved was not the Jiang family, but a victory or defeat with Xia Shao, a settlement. Even if the cost of this settlement is to shake the fate of the country, be punished by God, or drag the Jiang family with him, he will still do it.
Now, for him, ambition and ambition are no longer comparable to a crazy and destructive woman.
Before he dies, he will win over everyone who stands in the way of his once ambition!
