"You know clearly that there will be no clues and progress in a short time, but you still have to invest manpower and time without limit. That is not called action, it should be called stupidity. I have now handed over this matter to the Chongqing Station, which not only alleviates the It saves us the burden and trouble, and we can get a share of the benefits from Chongqing Station afterwards. This is called stop loss. In other words, no matter whether Chongqing Station can win this case, we have no loss." Tangcheng The dissatisfied looks on their faces left Zhao Dashan and others speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, they also admitted that what Tang Cheng said just now sounded right.
Tang Cheng, who had successfully deceived Zhao Dashan and others into lameness, smiled secretly in his heart and was full of pride. However, after he and Zhao Dashan and the others returned to the safe zone, a piece of bad news suddenly hit Tang Cheng's head. "What? You said Bai went to my house? When did it happen? What else did the caller say?" The old policeman who was being questioned by Tangcheng looked anxious. He actually didn't know the specific situation. These were informed by phone calls.
The person who called Tang Cheng was one of Ma Ye's apprentices. After Tang Cheng moved his family to Chongqing, the safety of his family had been left to Ma Ye and his apprentices. On the one hand, Tang Cheng did this because he did not want others to know about his relationship with the Intelligence Department and the investigation team. On the other hand, Tang Cheng was also worried that his family would be implicated because of him. So after coming to Chongqing, Tangcheng rarely went home, and even when he did, it was mostly after dark.
Tang Cheng moved his family to Chongqing in order to protect his family from the war. Although living in Chongqing is also risky, at least it will not make his family disconnected from society. Tangcheng was guarding against Brother Pao's forces in the city, as well as the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Team. But now, what he had been building so painstakingly was broken by Bai Zhanshan. "You guys do things as usual. I'll leave for a while and I'll call you later." When Tang Cheng left, his eyes shone with a strong anger, which made Zhao Dashan and others secretly worried.
What Tang Cheng couldn't understand was why Bai Zhanshan suddenly went to his home. At this time, shouldn't Bai Zhanshan suddenly interrogate those involved in the case in the military camp? With deep doubts, Tang Cheng rushed home all the way. When Tang Cheng returned home, the first person he saw was not his family, but the person who called the safe house, Mr. Ma's eldest apprentice Zhou Chuang. "Master, it's our incompetence that failed to stop them." Seeing Tang Cheng, Zhou Chuang's face was full of guilt.
"It has nothing to do with you, those people are not easy to mess with!" After confirming that Zhou Chuang and the others had not suffered any casualties, Tang Cheng did not reveal the identity of Bai Zhanshan and the others to the other party. He just waved his hand and did not feel that Zhou Chuang and the others were involved. should be held responsible for this. "Tell me carefully, how long has that person named Bai been here? How many people did he bring with him when he came? How is my family doing now?" Tang Cheng had too many questions to ask Zhou Chuang, and all of a sudden , Zhou Chuang, who was asked one after another, didn't know which one he should answer first.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chuang finally spoke, "Everything was normal when the old lady went to church in the morning. It was just that when she came back, the young lady wanted to eat Li Ji's red oil. The old lady should have been raped by that surnamed woman at that time. I met Bai. The old lady and the man surnamed Bai just chatted for a few words at that time. No one expected that not long after we got home, the man surnamed Bai led people to chase us. I looked at the old man People don’t want to talk to the guy named Bai.”
Zhou Chuang was straightforward by nature. He did not answer the questions that Tang Cheng asked one by one. Instead, according to his own habit, he first explained why Bai Zhanshan came here. "When the man surnamed Bai brought people here, we had already blocked the street. The old lady agreed to let the man surnamed Bai in. Otherwise, even if he brought people here, he would never be able to enter this street... "One of Zhou Chuang's junior fellow students was outspoken. He made a random comment to steal Zhou Chuang's attention, and told one of the minor twists and turns.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Before the junior brother finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Chuang's glare. "The guy surnamed Bai only brought three people. I saw that although those three people were all practitioners, they didn't have deep skills. My two junior sisters were there, and there was Xiaohu beside the old lady. , if that man surnamed Bai has any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he and the people he brought will never be able to leave this street." Perhaps due to the influence of Tangcheng, Zhou Chuang's expression also became cold.
Tang Cheng finally softened his expression, and waved his hand gently and said, "It's not that serious. I just don't understand why the person named Bai came to my house! Don't worry, the person named Bai will never dare to attack my family." It's tempting, otherwise I will let him know what it means to live but not to die." Tang Cheng's words sounded even harsher than Zhou Chuang's words before, and Zhou Chuang, whose palms were already sweating, couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart Bai Zhanshan and the others deserved it for saying something in advance.
"Okay, since Hu Zi is inside, it won't be a big deal. I'll go in first and take a look. You all should behave as usual!" Although his questions were not answered by Zhou Chuang, Tang Cheng's The mood has stabilized. Reaching out and patting Zhou Chuang's shoulder, Tang Cheng came out of the tavern and strode towards his house at the end of the street.
Almost all the money Tangcheng got from Nanjing and Shanghai was spent here. Thanks to the help of Mr. Ma and his gang of old guys, this entire street is actually the property of the Tang family, and Zhang Jianghe’s family members also live in In this street, Zhang Jianghe did not accept the free gifts from the Tang family. The shops in this street are only for rent, not for sale, and the rent is not high, but they will only be rented to acquaintances who know the business well.
Walking towards the end of the street, Tang Cheng greeted a few familiar faces in a very vague manner. After a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng appeared outside the door of his house. Compared with the Tang family's old house in Nanjing, the area of this house is obviously much larger, which can be seen only from the size of the gate. "Young Master, why are you back? Didn't you say last time that you wouldn't be able to come back until the end of the month?" The concierge Lao He is a veteran with only one eye. If it weren't for Mr. Ma's sake, this veteran with mysterious origins would never Come to Tang's house and be a concierge.
"Uncle He, are there any guests at home?" Tang Cheng did not answer the question from the concierge Uncle He, but went straight to the topic and asked Uncle He about things at home. Tang Cheng's words could be regarded as indicating the reason for his sudden return home. Uncle He, who was originally tense, instantly relaxed. The young master who can take charge of the family is back, and he no longer has to worry about the few uninvited guests inside.
"A visitor is here. I heard that Xiao Hei said he was an old acquaintance of the family in Nanjing. But from the look of Xiao Hei, the visitor must not be a bad person!" Uncle He's answer sounded a little confusing, but Tang Cheng I already understood what Uncle He wanted to express. Leaving the cigarettes and lighter in his pocket with Uncle He, Tang Chao stepped over the threshold and entered the yard. The first thing he saw was Heizi, who was pacing back and forth in the yard.
"Brother, why are you back?" Seeing Tang Cheng appear at the door, the worried look on Heizi's face disappeared in an instant, and his steps towards Tang Cheng became lighter. Heizi, who strode towards Tang Cheng, immediately lowered his voice and said to Tang Cheng, "The man named Bai brought someone to the house. He also brought someone named Ma, who said he was a distant relative of our mother. , but from my mother’s reaction, she probably didn’t know there was such a relative.”
There was a trace of anger in Heizi's voice, and there was something strange about Bai Zhanshan's sudden visit to the house. Not only did a person with whom he seldom contacted him come suddenly, but he also brought a so-called distant relative. Although Heizi was young, he also knew that there was something in this. matter. "It's okay, leave everything to me. This is our family. They can't afford to make a big storm." Tang Cheng patted Heizi on the shoulder as if comforting and affirming, and then walked towards the main house. past.
Tang Cheng had just walked to the door of the main house when he heard a voice coming from the main house. It was an unfamiliar voice. Tang Cheng, who had already stopped, was 100% sure that he had never heard this voice before. "Cousin, although my cousin's side has nothing to do with the old house, I can't write two characters for "horse" in one stroke. No matter what, we are all descendants of the same ancestor. Now I know that you have moved from Nanjing When I come to Chongqing, I have to come and take a look, otherwise others will gossip about the Ma family in Yunnan."
The voice coming from the main house was unfamiliar to Tang Cheng, but the words he heard just now made Tang Cheng realize that the voice should belong to the distant relative named Ma. "Mom, why did I hear that there are relatives at home! As far as I can remember, I have never heard you say that we have relatives in Yunnan!" Tang Cheng reached out and lifted the curtain of the main room and walked in. Only then did he see the main room clearly. The people in the main room were clearly divided into two groups.
Tang Cheng's mother was sitting on the left, with Tang Hu and the mixed-race twins standing behind her. The eldest sister Tang Juan and Zhou Chuang's two junior sisters were standing by the window. On the right side sat Bai Zhanshan and a strange middle-aged man, and behind them stood two of Bai Zhanshan's men. Bai Zhanshan looked at ease, but the strange middle-aged man looked eager. "Why... why are you back?" Bai Zhanshan was glanced at by Tang Cheng, and there was a panic in his heart for no reason.
Tang Cheng did not pay attention to Bai Zhanshan, but first greeted his mother and eldest sister, and then Tang Hu and his twin sisters who showed an honest smile. "Mom, don't worry, leave it all to me!" Tang Cheng rarely goes home, but Ma Guixiang knows that Tang Cheng actually arranges many things at home. Ma Guixiang was not surprised by Tang Cheng's sudden return. After Tang Cheng made the promise, Ma Guixiang simply closed her eyes and rested her mind, as if she was letting Tang Cheng make the decision.
