After Tang Baiqing finished talking with Yu Mingyuan, he drove away by himself.
Su Tianyu returned to the car, frowned and asked Yu Mingyuan: "Brother Yuan, what did you say?"
"Tang Baiqing said it wasn't someone sent by the dock gang, but he would ask them to help investigate." Yu Mingyuan intervened and asked, "Tianyu, if this matter has nothing to do with the people at the dock, who else could it be?"
"The question is, can we believe what Tang Baiqing said?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Don't think about what Tang Baiqing said. Just think about whether it is possible that this was done by another group of people. If so, we have to confirm it. Do you understand?" Yu Mingyuan replied with clear thoughts.
Su Tianyu pondered for a while: "Apart from the people at the port, the only people who have a grudge against us and might be jealous or retaliate against us are the Changqing Company and Lu Feng."
Yu Mingyuan pondered for a while and said, "Go talk to Lu Feng and confront him directly, and ask him if he did it."
Su Tianyu was a little upset when he heard this: "If I go to find Lu Feng, we might stab each other with knives before we even start talking."
Yu Mingyuan turned his head and looked out the window: "Tomorrow I will have someone go with you to help you. Let's walk on two legs and find out where the problem lies first."
"Okay." Su Tianyu nodded and started the car: "Brother Yuan, apart from this, didn't Tang Baiqing tell you anything else?"
Yu Mingyuan looked at him with some surprise: "He said that Code Gang is a little jealous of our business and might want to invest in it."
"Ah." Su Tianyu nodded and did not discuss this topic in depth with the other party.
…
About an hour later.
Su Tianyu returned to the garbage dump and sat down with Su Tiannan, Su Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, Kong Zhenghui and others to discuss the matter. However, everyone currently knew very little information, and was not sure who had taken the people and goods away, so all they could do now was to wait and let the higher-ups find connections and investigate the cause of the incident.
In the early hours of the morning, everyone was upset about the loss of goods and people, and no one could sleep, so they sat together in the garbage dump waiting for dawn.
During this period, Zhang Hao's mother also came and cried and asked Su Tianyu where her son was. But the latter had no way to tell him the result, so he could only persuade her together with Su Tiannan and others, telling her that the person must be fine, that they had found a connection, and that he would be able to come back soon, and that the Yu family would definitely take care of it.
In this way, everyone waited until more than eight o'clock the next morning, and Su Tiannan finally found out the whereabouts of Lu Feng.
It took Lu Feng more than two months to recuperate after the battle at Fumanlou. After being discharged from the hospital, he was in a very low mood. The company's affairs did not require him to worry about anything, so recently he has been "recovering" in a temple on the hill to calm his mind.
It is said that Lu Feng was a Buddhist and he would go up to the mountain to stay for two days on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, eating vegetarian meals and playing with beads.
It is so ironic that a person who makes money through illegal means and runs a gang is actually a lay disciple of Buddhism.
…
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Yu Mingyuan sent a friend to the garbage dump to meet Su Tianyu.
After the two had a brief exchange, Su Tianyu took Bai Hongbo, Kong Zhenghui and the other two to Qiushan Temple to discuss the Dao with Master Lu Feng.
On the way to Qiushan Temple, Su Tianyu noticed that the friend sent by Yu Mingyuan sat very straight while driving, and there were several passes with military logos printed on them in the lower left corner of the windshield.
"Brother, are you from the army?" Su Tianyu asked with a smile.
"Ah." The other party replied, with no intention of saying more.
Seeing that other people didn't want to talk about this topic, Su Tianyu didn't ask any further questions and kept communicating with Bai Hongbo and Kong Zhenghui along the way.
…
Qiushan Temple, with its back to the mountain and in front of the sea, has an excellent view.
Today is Sunday, and there are many people praying to Buddha and burning incense on the mountain. After Su Tianyu and others arrived, they parked the car in the parking lot of the tourist area.
Under the blazing sun, Su Tianyu followed the others and walked two steps forward. He suddenly said to Bai Hongbo, "You go up with this brother. I won't go, so as to avoid a fight with Lu Feng."
"Then am I not afraid of being punished?!" Bai Hongbo asked righteously.
"You take the responsibility, go ahead." Kong Zhenghui also added.
Yu Mingyuan's friend smiled when he heard this, turned his head and said to Su Tianyu: "It's okay, he doesn't dare to do anything with me here."
"You go, we'll wait here." Su Tianyu added.
Bai Hongbo had no choice but to go up the mountain with Yu Mingyuan's friends.
In the parking lot, Kong Zhenghui smoked a cigarette and frowned as he asked, "Do you think it could be Changqing Company that did it?"
"It's hard to say." Su Tianyu shook his head.
"I thought about it and it's not necessarily the Code Gang who did it." Kong Zhenghui replied softly: "If they are really jealous, wouldn't it be better to just talk about it openly? Why do they have to hide their faces and not show their heads?"
Su Tianyu fell into deep thought: "I haven't figured it out yet."
While the two were standing in the parking lot and talking, Dabai and Yu Mingyuan's friends had already arrived at the dining hall of Qiushan Temple. The people living here were all tourists who came to the temple for vacation, and it looked very lively.
The two entered the courtyard of the temple that hosted tourists, and after a quick inquiry, they found Lu Feng.
About ten minutes later, a young monk brought Bai Hongbo and Yu Mingyuan to the pavilion in the courtyard. When Lu Feng saw Bai Hongbo and Yu Mingyuan's friends, he was a little confused.
"What do you want from me?" Lu Feng looked at Bai Hongbo and asked with a fiery gaze.
Bai Hongbo was actually a little bit worried about Lu Feng, but he still replied bravely: "I want to ask you something. Su Tiannan asked someone to bring you a message, right?"
The corner of Lu Feng's mouth twitched, his hair was messy in the breeze, and he said nothing.
"The swaying crane we hung on the sea last night was picked by someone. We have a grudge against each other, so I won't argue. I came here today just to ask you if you picked the swaying crane?" Bai Hongbo spoke in jargon very fluently.
Lu Feng squinted at Bai Hongbo and still did not reply.
"You picked it. Let's talk openly, not about the things we did under the table." Bai Hongbo felt that Lu Feng's eyes were a little strange, and he continued with some ambiguity in his heart: "You also know that this business is not led by us. There is a boss behind it. Do you understand?"
Lu Feng was so frustrated at the moment. Since the internal struggle in the Zhannan sanitation circle, he not only suffered a loss of reputation, but also lost the plate he had originally obtained, and his subordinates such as Hua Shanzi were also imprisoned. After the hospitalization, Li Hongze and others also complained about him. There were some conflicts within Changqing Company because of the problem of too many people and too few people. So he hid in the mountains to have a few days of peace. But he didn't expect that the other party would find this place and speak to him in a fucking jargon?
Lu Feng held it in for a long time, and said to Bai Hongbo in a trembling voice: "Get as far away from me as possible, I don't want to fuck you in the temple!"
Bai Hongbo squinted at him and said, "Then...then you have to tell me, did you pick it?!"
"M, if you don't leave now, I will beat you to death!" Lu Feng was almost out of control.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. I just want to ask you, did you pick it?"
"I'm going to take your head off!" Lu Feng stretched out his hand to grab Bai Hongbo's collar.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, Yu Mingyuan's friend reached out to stop Lu Feng.
"Get out of here!"
"My name is Li Tao, and I'm Yu Mingyuan's friend." The man stood in front of Lu Feng with his back straight and said, "The business on the sea has something to do with the army. I'm not here to cause trouble today. Do you understand?"
When Lu Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Let me ask you, was it you who picked it?!" Bai Hongbo hid behind the man, pointed at Lu Feng, and shouted.
Lu Feng glanced at the man in front of him with veins popping out of his forehead. After a long while, he cursed at Bai Hongbo: "I'm picking coins. I went up the mountain when I was discharged from the hospital. Where can I pick them?"
The man named Li Tao was stunned for a moment: "Really not Changqing?"
"No, we don't eat food outside the circle." Lu Feng replied: "What's more, we will at most rob goods, we won't move people, let alone go into the water."
Li Tao was stunned when he heard this: "You know the details? That means you have heard about this matter?"
Lu Feng was silent for a long time: "Last night, that idiot Li Xing also called me and asked me if I did this. I was wondering, why do you ask me about the affairs of the three of you?"
Li Tao was silent.
"Except for those young men who have just arrived in Longcheng who might intercept the business on the water, who else would touch it? Five or six speedboats are working in the water, coming and going freely. How could those who make a living on the sea not know anything about it?" Lu Feng threw down a sentence and turned away.
Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and also said, "Let's go."
"He's quite a ruthless person. He believes in Buddhism." Bai Hongbo followed the man and said, "It's all in vain."
"Fuck you!" Lu Feng cursed Bai Hongbo with his back turned and went down the mountain that day.
…
Twenty minutes later, down the mountain.
"If it wasn't Lu Feng, it probably wasn't Chang Qing either." Bai Hongbo said to Su Tianyu, "When we were talking just now, he was so angry that I thought he was a little depressed."
Su Tianyu nodded and said nothing more.
Back at the garbage dump, Yu Mingyuan's friends left. Su Tianyu called Kong Zhenghui alone and asked, "Let's not talk about who did this first. I want to ask you, the other party robbed the goods and detained people, but never showed up. What does that mean?"
"If you are anxious, I will talk to you later."
"What are you here for?" Su Tianyu asked again.
"You're here for business, I know for sure! If you just wanted money, I would have contacted you a long time ago."
"Zhenghui, the current profit sharing ratio is 30% for the three of us, 30% for Tang Baiqing, and 40% for the rest of the family." Su Tianyu turned his head and looked around, lowering his voice and said, "If you're here for business, whose interests will be diluted?"
Kong Zhenghui was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
"The source of the goods is the Yu family, and the relationship is Tang Baiqing's. In this business, only the footwork can be replaced." Su Tianyu stared at Kong Zhenghui and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
After the words were spoken, the two looked at each other for a while.
"Do you have any connections at the dock?" Su Tianyu suddenly asked again.
Kong Zhenghui understood immediately: "Mad, now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered the question you asked me when the Ma Gang robbed us last time."
…
It was around eight o'clock that evening.
Yu Mingyuan was sitting in the company when he answered Tang Baiqing's call: "Hello?"
"The people from the Code Gang believed it. The robber seems to be Lei Zi from outside Longcheng. He's here for a lot of money." Tang Baiqing's voice rang out.
"Lei Zi outside Longcheng? Then can you let the Code Gang mediate and talk to them?" Yu Mingyuan asked.
Tang Baiqing immediately replied: "I have already said this, but Xu Hu asked me, why does the Code Gang help us to make connections?"
