At noon, they went to eat vegetarian food, and then sat around until about four o'clock in the afternoon before leaving.
On the way home, Tang Muzhi suddenly said, "Let's go back to Haicheng tomorrow."
She has almost finished what she should do. Next, she will go back to Haicheng to ask her mother some things.
After all, in her opinion, Tang Hong's previous report was most likely related to his mother, so she had to go and verify it.
Jing Xiao stared at her for a few seconds, smiled and nodded, which was regarded as agreement.
So the next morning, they took a plane back to Haicheng.
Shortly after they got on the plane, Mr. Lin went to the police station.
Master Lin's real name was Qian Lin. He was a famous gangster in Tanzhou before, doing some shady business. He only gained a reputation in Haicheng in recent years.
The moment Tang Hong saw him, his face immediately darkened. He looked at him with extreme indifference and asked, "When will you get me out?"
Qian Lin raised his eyes and glanced at him, then reached out and knocked on the table to signal him not to get excited.
"You have borrowed a lot of money from me over the years. Now, I can cancel it with you." His tone was calm and scary, as if he had already made plans not to guarantee him any more.
Hearing this, Tang Hong narrowed his sinister eyes, stared at him and shouted: "What do you mean? Don't care about me, right? I tell you, if something happens to me, none of you will be able to feel better."
About the same night after returning to Tanzhou from Haicheng, he went to find Qian Lin, told him a story vividly, looked at a few things, and then started to blackmail him.
But now, facing his threat, Qian Lin just laughed disdainfully and said coldly, "Is it just you?"
"Don't forget, you don't have much time. If I haven't left here in three days, those things will be mailed out." Tang Hong's face became more and more ugly, he gritted his teeth and drank, and then sarcastically said, "If that time comes, even if you, Mr. Lin, are completely useless, I'm afraid you won't even be able to be a little gangster in Tanzhou."
Hearing this, Qian Lin's eyes suddenly froze, exuding a terrifying coldness, "Do you think I really care about that broken thing in your hand?"
Tang Hong laughed suddenly, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked at him mockingly, "Of course you will. If you don't care, how could you treat something like this that has passed for more than ten years?" Do you care? Let me tell you, don't even think about killing me. If I die, those things will appear at the police station immediately."
Qian Lin remained silent, his fists subconsciously tightened, and his joints made a creaking sound.
His expression was gloomy and terrifying, like a poisonous snake full of venom that could knock down its prey at any time.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse, "What exactly do you want?"
"Let me get out of here within three days. Let's talk slowly about the rest." Tang Hong was straightforward and without any ambiguity.
"Your matter is somewhat troublesome and cannot be solved within three days." Qian Lin slightly raised his eyebrows and then added, "But I will try my best."
"I advise you not to play tricks." Tang Hong sneered and had a tough attitude.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Qian Lin's eyes. This feeling of being threatened was indeed not a good thing. He gritted his teeth and said, "You must give those things to me immediately after you get out."
Hearing this, Tang Hong stared at him for a long time, raised the corners of his lips with a sharp and sinister arc, and said slowly: "You are not qualified to bargain with me now."
They stared at each other like that for a long time. Finally, Qian Lin left with a look of rage and unwillingness.
In the afternoon, the sky cleared up and became cloudless.
After Tang Muzhi and the others arrived home, Jing Xiao gave her a few words and then went out.
After returning to the bedroom, she was just about to pack her luggage when her cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Seeing that it was Yu Youxi's call, she answered it quickly.
As soon as the phone call came through, an excited voice came from the other end, "Are you okay with your cold? Let's have dinner together tonight."
Yu Youxi had many questions to ask. Although she had sent messages to Tang Mu Zhi in the past two days, she refused to answer them every time because of illness.
Therefore, after knowing that she was back with Jing Xiao, she called him as soon as possible.
Tang Muzhi hesitated for a moment, but still declined, "It won't take more than two days. I haven't completely recovered from my cold, so I'm afraid I might infect you."
She wanted to meet her mother first tonight. After all, Tang Hong's matter was extremely important right now.
Hearing this, Yu Youxi's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, with obvious disappointment.
"I don't think you have recovered from the cold. You don't want to see me on purpose, right? Are you afraid that I will gossip about your relationship problems?"
Tang Muzhi pursed her lips lightly and explained: "It's not that I don't want to see you. Besides, haven't you always been very clear about my relationship issues?"
"Really?" Yu Youxi asked dubiously, and then said earnestly, "Then you have a good rest, and we will have dinner together in a few days."
"Okay." Tang Muzhi agreed readily, and then chatted with her for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After packing her luggage, she originally planned to go directly to her mother, but after thinking about it, she thought it would be better to call her first.
The phone beeped, and Tang Muzhi's heart was beating loudly. She kept thinking about how to word it to make the opening conversation between them less awkward.
"Hey, Zhizhi..."
After hearing her mother's voice, her heart twitched inexplicably, and she said bluntly: "Mom, I want to come over tonight. I have something to tell you."
When these words were spoken, she still felt uneasy.
Weng Lu was shopping for groceries outside at the moment. Although there was a lot of noise around her, she still heard her daughter's words clearly.
She even understood Tang Muzhi's purpose of finding her right away, so she didn't mince words and said straight to the point: "What do you want to say about Tang Hong?"
"Yes." Tang Muzhi's fingers holding the phone were a little white because of too much force. "I want to know..."
"So what if you know?" Weng Lu interrupted her and her tone became serious, "Zhizhi, for some things, the process is not important, as long as the result is what we want."
"But..." She frowned and wanted to say something to retort, but in the end she only uttered four words, "Let's talk about it when we meet."
Weng Lu knew that this matter could not be avoided, so she sighed and asked, "Your Uncle Lu is going on a business trip tomorrow. Can you come back tomorrow?"
"Yeah." She responded and then hung up the phone.
She felt her head hurt so much that she simply lay down on the bed and closed her eyes tightly.
In fact, after making this phone call, her doubts had been answered, but she still wanted to know her mother's plan.
Meanwhile, W&L Technology.
When Jing Xiao arrived at the office, Shi Qian was already waiting there.
"Master Jing, I thought you were going to stay in Tanzhou for a few more days." He teased in a relaxed tone.
"How is Tang Hong's situation?" Jing Xiao walked towards the desk and asked indifferently.
Two days ago, when he received a call from his grandma in the hospital, although he did not refuse to let her intervene in Tang Hong's affairs, he was worried and had to find someone to watch in person, so he arranged for Shi Qian to return to Haicheng. .
"The old lady has already taken action, there is no problem." Shi Qian replied and quickly stepped forward.
Jing Xiao nodded, and after sitting down, he suddenly asked: "How did grandma handle it?"
"I went to see Tang Hong." Shi Qian answered truthfully, then paused and added, "By the way, Qian Lin also went to see Tang Hong in the morning. I heard people say that it seemed that Tang Hong had something he wanted. s things."
"What?" He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest.
"I don't know the details, but I've already asked someone to check it out."
Hearing this, Jing Xiao fell silent. He felt that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.
After a long time, he slowly analyzed: "Since Tang Hong has what Qian Lin wants, he can take that thing and settle the previous debt with Qian Lin, but why didn't he do anything? Do you want to keep an eye on the Tang family's old house?"
Shi Qian hesitated for a moment and boldly expressed his guess, "Master Jing, could that thing be placed in the Tang family's old house?"
Jing Xiao glanced at him, shook his head, and denied his words in a cold voice, "Tang Hong has been missing for more than ten years. How could that thing be placed in the Tang family's old house? What's more, there was no money in Haicheng more than ten years ago. How could Tang Hong, a person like Lin, have anything that could threaten him?"
He nodded vigorously, his face a little embarrassed, "Master Jing's analysis is right, I'm overthinking."
Jing Xiao sighed low, a hint of haze flashed in his deep black pupils, looked out the window, and said to himself: "It seems that Tang Hong is far more difficult to deal with than I thought."
"Well, indeed, Tang Hong was scared to death of Qian Lin before, but now he dares to threaten Qian Lin in return. It seems that what he has in his hand is really important."
"Whether it's important or not, it has no impact on us." At this moment, a voice came from the office door. Then, the door was pushed open and Zhou Chengsi stepped in.
After seeing it was him, Jing Xiao glared at him speechlessly and scolded: "Don't you know how to knock on the door when you come in?"
"Is this necessary?" He asked back, then walked to the sofa and sat down, crossed his legs leisurely, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked at him with a half-smile.
Jing Xiao ignored him, looked at Shi Qian, and said, "Go out and do your work first."
"Okay." He responded, turned around and left, closing the office door.
After he went out, Zhou Chengsi curled his lips and then spoke again, "I thought you were going to spend a few more days with your sister-in-law in Tanzhou, but I didn't expect you would be back so soon."
Jing Xiao glanced at him and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Don't talk to me about these useless things. What did you mean by what you just said?"
Hearing this, he tightened the curvature of his mouth, his eyes became speechless, and mocked: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. It is such a simple truth, do you need me to remind you?"
