Tsing Yi Bureau Headquarters.
Kang Dinghuang drank tea and seemed to be communicating with Adjutant Lao Xu very enthusiastically, but in fact his psychological activities were very complicated.
Zhou Xian's administrative assistant, with a large group of people from the General Affairs Office and Lao Xu's adjutant, came over and suddenly told Kang Dinghuang that Xue Ping'an was the murderer who kidnapped the two young masters. What exactly does this mean
It's not hard to guess. Zhou Xian not only identified Xue Ping'an as the murderer, but also suspected Kang Dinghuang.
Xiao Zhou was making a surprise test! There was only one purpose for calling Adjutant Lao Xu over, and that was to have him keep an eye on Kang Dinghuang to see if he would do something small at this time to protect Xue Ping'an, because this was the territory controlled by the Qingyi Bureau.
Kang Dinghuang's reaction was also very quick. He asked the director of the operations department of the Qingyi Bureau to personally take Zhou Xian's assistant to arrest the man, and he also left Lao Xu's adjutant to have tea with him. This also made his attitude clear.
I don't know anything and I won't cover up for anyone. You can do whatever you want, but don't make me bleed.
The psychological battle between the two people officially began at this moment.
In the office, Kang Dinghuang was smiling and enthusiastic, and took the initiative to find topics to communicate with Adjutant Lao Xu.
The two of them drank tea and waited for more than three hours.
Around 1:00 p.m., the operations director called Kang Dinghuang and personally informed him that Xue Ping'an had not been caught, but the rest of the people had been controlled.
…
Inside the Warhammer camp.
Zhou Xian left the reception room and reached out to answer the phone: "What's going on?"
"Xue Ping'an ran away, but the Xue family's armed forces and some of his relatives and officers did not have time to evacuate. Currently, the core members have been controlled by the Qingyi Bureau's Operations Department. I am here too." The assistant said concisely.
Zhou Xian frowned: "The news leaked? Did the Qingyi Bureau report it to Xue Ping'an?!"
"It shouldn't be." The assistant immediately replied: "We found Kang Dinghuang suddenly, and we talked about business directly after meeting. Kang Dinghuang transferred people from the Operations Department to cooperate with us to arrest people. I was monitoring them the whole time, and they had no chance to inform the outside world. Kang Dinghuang himself was drinking tea with Deputy Commander Xu's adjutant the whole time, and he didn't leave at all, not even to the toilet."
"Then how did Xue Ping'an run away?!" Zhou Xian asked back.
"We arrested a company commander of the Xue family's armed forces. He told us that Xue Ping'an had been claiming to the outside world that he was recuperating in a field hospital, but in fact he was not at the base at all and had been outside the base the whole time." The assistant immediately said, "He played a trick, and we found nothing when we went to the hospital. But this old guy could do this, so he must have kidnapped the two young masters."
Zhou Xian licked his lips and asked again, "Are you sure Kang Dinghuang didn't report it to the outside world?"
"No, at least that's what we see." The assistant replied immediately.
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Xian paused and said, "That's it for now, you guys should prepare to come back."
"yes!"
After the two finished their conversation, Zhou Xian stood outside the reception room and thought for a while, then reached out to dial Kang Dinghuang's number, but he didn't expect the other party to call him first.
"Hello? Xiaokang!"
"… You can pick any of the Xue family members. If you think anyone is suspicious, take them away immediately." Kang Dinghuang said in a cold voice, "Don't leave them with me. I don't want to be blamed for such a big thing as kidnapping two young masters!"
"Haha." Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Are you being too sensitive?"
Kang Dinghuang replied indifferently: "Deputy Commander Xu's adjutant is here, is this still sensitive? I drank tea for more than three hours and didn't dare to go to the toilet once. I was afraid that I would be arrested!"
"I don't mean anything else. It was Deputy Commander Xu's adjutant who asked us to keep it secret throughout the process." Zhou Xian explained.
"Send someone to get all the officers of the Xue family away, and don't leave them with me." Kang Dinghuang said, "I will go back to Washington with Deputy Commander Xu's adjutant. Before you find the murderer, I will avoid suspicion and stay away from you."
"Xiaokang, it shouldn't be that serious, right? Are you angry with me?!" Zhou Xian said in a friendly tone.
Kang Dinghuang did not respond.
"How about this, I also have something to discuss with you," Zhou Xian paused and said, "Follow my assistant and bring all the core officers of the Xue family to the camp. Let the higher-ups interrogate them, and then we can have a chat."
"I won't go, right? I don't know how to say anything flattering, haha!" Kang Dinghuang laughed.
"Xiaokang, we have been friends for so many years, there is no need to hurt our relationship because of work, right?" Zhou Xian asked back, "Are you really done with me?"
An hour later.
Under the supervision of administrative assistant Zhou Xian, people from the Operations Department of the Tsing Yi Bureau took away more than a dozen core officers of the Xue family, including Xue Ping'an's two nephews and a nephew.
…
Around seven o'clock in the evening.
In the South M area, in a white building on the south side of Gala City.
A dozen Latino men in suits were sitting around a round table.
At the first table, a fat Chinese youth, wearing a flowered shirt and flowered shorts, said in English with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm very sorry, I came in a hurry..."
Everyone looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
After a while, a black man intervened and said, "Mr. Wu, just state your purpose directly."
"There are three families in total. If you don't move, each family will get 200 million." The fat Chinese young man looked to be about 30 years old, but he spoke in a loud tone.
Everyone looked at each other. A black man wearing a flowered headscarf and smoking a snuff bottle shook his head: "Dear Wu, I think you are insulting us... Reputation is the key to our survival."
"Three hundred million for one family." The young man raised three fingers and replied with a smile.
Everyone swallowed and looked at each other again.
The leader, a middle-aged man in his fifties, shrugged and said, "This price is indeed very tempting, but our Gara region armed forces have always been at odds with..."
"Four hundred million for one family." The young man looked at everyone with a smile: "Gentlemen, if you don't do it, I'll find someone else to do it."
After saying this, the young man slowly stood up.
"Oh, Mr. Wu, wait a minute!" The middle-aged man in his fifties immediately picked up the red wine glass in front of him, stood up and said, "We can't take the money."
"It's a pleasure to work with you." The young man surnamed Wu also picked up his glass and turned to look at everyone: "Gentlemen, what is your attitude?"
The man with the flowered headscarf stood up slowly, glared at the young man surnamed Wu, and said in English after a long pause: "Oh, God! I forgot, we are pirates, and pirates don't need credibility!"
"You are very wise!" The young man surnamed Wu was not afraid of these big men who could shake the whole Gala City with their stomping feet. He held up his wine glass and clinked it with everyone one by one. Then he said word by word: "As for reputation, our old friend capital is famous all over the world. The advance payment will be in place when I leave this room."
"certainly!"
"We believe in your promise!"
“…!”
Everyone raised their glasses.
…
Ten minutes later, the young man surnamed Wu left the round table conference room, holding the phone and said, "Good sister, I was on vacation when you dragged me here, how are you going to thank me?!"
"I'll treat you when Jiangzhou comes back. A yacht, a model like that, get one." A woman from Yanbei, Huaqu, said softly, "Xiao Wuhan, you keep an eye on that. I'll go make a report and wait for orders from the higher-ups."
"Okay, sister!" the young man surnamed Wu replied with a smile.
