In the car, Yu Mingyuan and Kong Zhenghui looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air was very depressing.
After a long silence, Kong Zhenghui took the lead in breaking the deadlock, stretched out his hand to light a cigarette, and slowly said: "Ok, I won't embarrass you. I thought about it, and you just need to help me with two things."
Yu Mingyuan also lit a cigarette and replied in a hoarse voice: "Go ahead."
Kong Zhenghui immediately said, "First, you can't let Xiaoqi stay in the Quantong Bureau. I'm telling you this, Gu Baishun is 100% targeting my Kong family and you! Therefore, I don't want anyone from the Quantong Bureau to contact Xiaoqi alone. I need you to ensure his safety."
Yu Mingyuan did not agree directly, but just asked: "What about the other thing?"
"Second, I have to leave Longcheng for a while." Kong Zhenghui's face was very serious: "Give me five days, I will go and investigate this matter. If I can't find out within five days, I will go back to Longcheng and let them deal with me as well."
After listening to this, Yu Mingyuan frowned but still did not answer.
Kong Zhenghui immediately added: "I am the only one who is out on business. During this period, my family and Xiaoqi will stay in Longcheng! I will use my whole family to exchange for your trust for the last time, okay?"
Hearing this, Yu Mingyuan was finally moved.
Kong Zhenghui looked at him with a serious look: "Mingyuan, even if the brotherhood between us is gone, even if you think that I have worked hard for you for so many years, please let Xiaoqi not suffer too much in there. Give me five days to do the rest, and I will do it."
After saying this, Kong Zhenghui also waited for Yu Mingyuan to give a specific answer, put out his cigarette, pushed open the car door with a snap, and stepped out of the car.
Yu Mingyuan looked at his hurriedly leaving back, and an indescribable feeling of irritation rose in his heart. He couldn't help but yelled: "Can you tell me the truth, what do you want to do? Tell me, I can help you!"
Kong Zhenghui stopped, turned his head and looked at him. After a long silence, he slowly said, "I can't rely on anyone now. I can only rely on myself."
After saying that, Kong Zhenghui turned and left.
"grass!"
Yu Mingyuan was also a little anxious. He pushed open the car door with a snap, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, strode to Kong Zhenghui, and stretched out his hand to stop him.
“…” Kong Zhenghui looked at him silently, pushed his arm away, and opened the door of his own car parked next to him.
"Masaaki! Masaaki?"
Yu Mingyuan shouted twice, but Kong Zhenghui ignored him, started the car, and drove away.
Yu Mingyuan stood on the side of the road, looking at the car driving away, and the feeling of irritation in his heart became more and more intense.
The more capable a person is, the more determined his ideas are. Yu Mingyuan knew that he could not persuade him.
…
On the way to his company, Kong Zhenghui called Zhou Tonghui.
The call was quickly connected, and a familiar voice came from it: "Zhenghui?"
Kong Zhenghui said directly: "Tonghui, come to my company and help me with something."
"Okay, I'll go out now and be there in a moment."
Zhou Tonghui didn't ask any further questions, just agreed and hung up the phone.
Kong Zhenghui thought about it, and contacted a few of his capable brothers and asked them to come together.
…
About half an hour later, Kong Zhenghui stepped into his company building.
This is a three-story building. The company is staffed by people from the Kong family, who run the Kong family's own business.
Kong Zhenghui didn't want to worry his family about these things, so he came here to deal with it.
After waiting in the office for a while, several young men from the Kong family arrived first.
Kong Zhenghui asked them to sit down first, then took out his cell phone, retrieved a large amount of information from it, and handed it to one of the young men: "Print these things according to the number of people, and keep them confidential."
"clear."
The young man took his cell phone and quickly left the office.
“Boom boom boom!”
After a while, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Enter!"
“Squeak!”
Zhou Tonghui pushed the door open hastily and asked anxiously, "Zhenghui, what happened to Xiaoqi? I heard that he was arrested, and it's confirmed?"
Over the years, Zhou Tonghui and Kong Zhenghui have always had a good relationship, especially during the period when the Tongji Society split up, some of their ideas were relatively consistent.
Although Kong Zhengqi is Kong Zhenghui's younger brother, he often has meals with Zhou Tonghui and others on weekdays, or goes out to relax.
The young man was quite sensible in front of them. Therefore, in Zhou Tonghui's heart, Kong Zhengqi was also considered to be his half-brother.
After Zhou Tonghui sat down, Kong Zhenghui looked at him, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you my brother?"
"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhou Tonghui answered without hesitation, "It's been so many years, what's the difference between us and brothers? Why are you asking this?"
Kong Zhenghui reached out his hand and gently patted Zhou Tonghui on the shoulder: "He is my brother, so don't ask too many questions. Just trust me and that's it."
Zhou Tonghui thought about it and said nothing else, then nodded slowly.
Kong Zhenghui glanced at everyone in the room and said, "I called everyone here today because I hope you can help me check a few people."
“Boom boom boom.”
As he spoke, the office door was knocked again, and Kong Zhenghui waved his hand and said, "Come in."
The young man from before pushed the door open, holding a piece of information in his hand.
"Come on, everyone, take a look first."
After Kong Zhenghui gave some instructions, the young man distributed the information to everyone in the room.
Zhou Tonghui also took the information and quickly flipped through it.
These data are the personal information of two men, one named Liu Dongyu and the other named Han Zicheng.
Kong Zhenghui pointed at the information and introduced it with a serious face: "These two people were introduced to Xiaoqi by He Yan to help me with the asset transfer. At first, I didn't think much about it and just contacted them normally. But now I think about it, since He Yan used this method to frame Xiaoqi, these two so-called economic consultants must be his agents. Otherwise, the National Bureau of Statistics would not have targeted these two people so easily and discovered that I wanted to transfer assets from the beginning."
Zhou Tonghui looked at the information and asked, "Are they from District 1 and District 2?"
Kong Zhenghui nodded: "Yes! Please help me find out the specific information of these two people as soon as possible. What I have is not comprehensive enough, and there is a high probability that they are fake identities made by the other party."
Zhou Tonghui put away the information: "In Districts 1 and 2, it's not difficult to check two people? I'll ask my family to help you!"
"No." Kong Zhenghui waved his hand and said, "I will take the people there myself this time."
Zhou Tonghui was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Do you still need to go by yourself for such a small matter? I can find some people over there for you."
Kong Zhenghui looked at him and said, "Your family's situation has not been very good recently. The old man has settled in District 3 to avoid political impact. This matter is also very sensitive, so let's not involve you. Besides, I don't want to rely on others, so I'll do it myself."
Zhou Tonghui advised: "Zhenghui, you better think it over carefully. It's very dangerous for you to do this!"
Kong Zhenghui's eyes revealed a resolute look: "The knife is already on my neck, it's not dangerous. Don't worry, I know what's going on. You can help me check first, and I'll take care of the rest."
Zhou Tonghui knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he nodded and said, "Ok, I'll check it out."
…
Seven or eight hours later, it was already very late.
Everyone was lying in the lounge, waiting for news.
Zhou Tonghui was lying on a spacious sofa, sleeping in a daze.
At this moment, the cell phone on the table next to him began to vibrate.
Zhou Tonghui rubbed his eyes and sat up, and saw that he had received a text message. He stood up, woke up Kong Zhenghui who was lying on another sofa, and showed him the message as well.
Kong Zhenghui took the phone, read the text message, nodded slowly and said: "Thank you, I'll leave now."
Zhou Tonghui reached for his coat: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Kong Zhenghui waved his hand and said, "I told you, this is my own business. If I let you get involved, I might implicate you as well. Friends should not implicate friends. You have helped me enough."
He paused, patted Zhou Tonghui on the shoulder, and continued: "I believe you. If I can't come back, you can help me take care of my family. Besides... since Gu Baishun wants to kill me, I don't want to sit there and wait for death. Let's just have some fun!"
In the second half of the sentence, Kong Zhenghui expressed strong negative emotions. He always felt that Gu Baishun did this to, firstly, take personal revenge, and secondly, to help others clean up the internal situation.
After that, without waiting for Zhou Tonghui to speak, Kong Zhenghui turned around and left the office, and at the same time called Yu Mingyuan: "I'm leaving now."
