It was late at night, the two rows of green lights on the road were dimly lit, and other cars sped past on the highway from time to time.
The Qingyi Bureau's car drove slowly towards the city. A group of people sat in the car, and no one spoke. There was silence for a long time.
Looking at the scenery outside the window and thinking for a long time, Kang Dinghuang suddenly sighed and said slowly: "Alas... If this is the case, things will be troublesome."
Hearing this, Lu Zhen waved his hand and said, "I have a different opinion from you on this matter."
Kang Dinghuang turned his head and looked at him: "What's the difference?"
“Bang!”
Lu Zhen lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "I personally feel that once Tan Hengqiang is inclined to unify Longcheng, then things will become simpler."
Kang Dinghuang frowned, thinking about the meaning of these words.
Lu Zhen lowered the car window and flicked the ash out: "Okay, don't think about it for now, we can talk alone later."
Kang Dinghuang's face was as gloomy as water. He nodded slightly and said no more.
Soon, the car drove into the city. At night, the area was still full of lights and the whole city exuded a prosperous atmosphere.
Lu Zhen threw the cigarette butt out of the car, his eyes fell on the young man sitting in the passenger seat, and asked, "Xiao Han, have you found out about the Sanguang Society?"
The young man shook his head in embarrassment. "Brother, it's really hard to find them. This is very strange. All the people who survived Zheng Guang's group were captured by Su Tianyu. The bodies of the dead were also counted. Everyone is here, except for Jiang Jianjun, who we instigated to rebel. He is missing. It's as if he disappeared."
The young man named Xiaohan was a little annoyed. "This guy is just a little gangster. His whereabouts are elusive and his interpersonal relationships are hard to figure out! We tried so hard but couldn't find a single hair of him!"
Lu Zhen was very calm. After hearing this, he reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder: "I know it's not easy for you, but this guy must be found! Only when he is eliminated can we all feel at ease. You can set more clues, check his family relationships, study his daily interests and hobbies, and see where he has been. Maybe there will be clues."
"I understand." The young man nodded: "If I find him, I will skin him alive with my own hands!"
The young man is called Lu Han, Lu Zhen’s cousin. He is also currently working in the military intelligence system and is considered to be Kang Dinghuang’s subordinate.
This is also the reason why Kang Dinghuang and Lu Zhen have a close relationship. The two are not only in contact at work, but also friends in private.
After the explanation, the three of them quieted down and stopped talking.
…
The next day at noon, District 1, Victoria Hotel on Third Street.
This hotel has been in business for many years. Although it is not as big as those five-star hotels, it is not small in scale and has all the necessary facilities.
Inside the hotel, there is everything from casinos and shopping malls to bars and KTVs. The entire hotel is like a small circular kingdom, which includes these facilities, so that guests can enjoy all the services without leaving home.
At this time, a business car stopped in front of the hotel.
“Crash!”
The car door opened, and Dai Quan and Zheng Guang got out together. The other two companions followed and walked behind them.
The driver stayed in the car, keeping watch and also responsible for supporting work.
There were people coming and going in front of the hotel, many fashionable guests were coming in and out, and some slovenly homeless people were sitting on both sides of the road, asking for money from passers-by.
After taking a glance at the hotel entrance, Dai Quan reached out his hand, put his arm around his waist and walked forward.
Zheng Guang was speechless and whispered, "Do you really have to be like this? I told you, I won't run away!"
Dai Quan smiled and said, "Haha, that's just my personality. I'm naturally cautious."
Zheng Guang felt uncomfortable all over. For a moment, he thought that Dai Quan might really want to fuck him...
Dai Quan urged from the side: "Stop talking nonsense and get going!"
Zheng Guang was helpless and endured this discomfort, and Dai Quan hugged him into the hotel lobby. The passers-by looked at them in a normal way, as if they were not uncommon.
A staff member of a welfare organization walked up to them holding a billboard and asked with a smile: "Would you like to adopt a child? We have complete procedures here..."
"Get out!" Zheng Guang frowned and cursed.
Dai Quan whispered, "Don't cause trouble."
Zheng Guang suppressed his anger, put on a mask, and searched the crowd with his sharp eyes.
Soon, he nudged Dai Quan with his elbow, pointed to the bar in front of him, and whispered, "That woman inside is her."
Dai Quan looked up and saw a woman with fair skin and a slightly voluptuous figure standing at the bar. She was wearing a pair of black panties that covered her strong thighs. Judging from her face, she must be at least forty years old.
Dai Quan looked at her for a while, then slapped Zheng Guang on the head and couldn't help cursing, "You call this a little girl?"
…
At the same time, in District 1 Washington, in the staff cafeteria.
As the most famous government institution, even the cafeteria is very upscale. The whole hall is decorated like a western restaurant, with tables covered with red cloths placed on exquisite carpets, exuding a sense of wealth and freedom.
Various Western delicacies are placed around. Just take the plate and take what you want to eat.
Kang Dinghuang and Lu Zhen, both wearing clean suits, took their meals and sat at the same table.
Lu Zhen's plate was filled with a variety of meats, while Kang Dinghuang's meal was much more nutritionally balanced, with a small amount of meat, vegetables, and a cup of yogurt to aid digestion.
Looking at the food on the other person's plate, Lu Zhen teased, "Eating grass again?"
Kang Dinghuang touched his belly and said with a wry smile, "I'm getting older, so I should eat healthier."
"You worry too much and age quickly." Lu Zhen joked, cutting a large piece of steak and putting it in his mouth to chew.
Kang Dinghuang smiled and didn't refute, eating the salad on the plate.
After a while, Lu Zhen put down his fork and asked, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday?"
Kang Dinghuang nodded slightly.
Lu Zhen paused for a moment and continued, "Tan Hengqiang has already expressed his attitude. I think this matter has become simpler."
Kang Dinghuang also put down his cutlery, intervened and looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Lu Zhen did not rush to answer, but picked up the cup, drank a sip of Coke, and then said: "If Longcheng is unified, Tan Hengqiang will definitely be the leader. He is the absolute core. If he is determined, we will not be able to change the situation..."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice, approached Kang Dinghuang, and said slowly: "Since it cannot be changed, let's kill the core!"
