It would be impossible to open a restaurant as large as Jufulou in Chongqing without a backer. The restaurant manager, who was blocked by Tang Cheng in the warehouse in the backyard of the restaurant, was looking at Tang Cheng with an angry look on his face, but Tang Cheng did not back down because of the angry face of the restaurant manager. "Shop Manager Xia, you are a smart man. I didn't even ask about your backer when I came in. I just blocked you here and asked you. You should be able to guess the priority of the matter."

Tang Cheng's words made the restaurant owner's face change slightly, but he still didn't speak. Tang Cheng immediately grinned and chuckled. "Shop Manager Xia, I know you have a backer, and maybe the backer is very capable, but what does this have to do with me! I am just an errand boy, and this time I am here to question you on behalf of the military commander. You want to recruit someone to settle the score, no? Go directly to the military commander!" Finally, when Tang Cheng mentioned military commander in his words, the restaurant owner's brows twitched subconsciously.

Tang Cheng had been observing the other party secretly, and Tang Cheng saw all the changes in the restaurant owner's smile and expression. Tang Cheng, who saw the other party's mind wavering, did not immediately open his mouth and continue to question the other party. Instead, he lit a cigarette and gave the other party time to think. Tang Cheng didn't say anything and just lit a cigarette. The restaurant owner understood that this was a chance given to him by the young man in front of him. After thinking about it secretly, the restaurant owner pointed to the photo of the cook that Tang Cheng had placed on the table and asked Tang Cheng.

"Can you tell me first, what on earth did this man commit? I need you to come to me for questioning on behalf of the military commander!" Although the restaurant owner who has a backer has noticed that the situation is not good, he still does not want to take the initiative to report to Tangcheng Lower your head. If the person in the photo was just involved in ordinary matters, he would not pay attention to Tang Cheng, even though he already knew that the young man in front of him represented the military commander. When Tang Cheng heard this, he just shook his head slightly, indicating that he refused to answer the other party.

Tang Cheng's reaction made the restaurant owner's eyes narrow, and he felt more and more that something was wrong. Tang Cheng finished smoking a cigarette, but still couldn't get the clue he wanted from the restaurant owner. A look of anger suddenly appeared on his originally calm face. "Manager Xia, I have given you the opportunity! Let me ask you one last time, who was the person with the person in the photo when he came to your place three days ago?"

Tang Cheng suddenly changed his expression and tone, and the restaurant owner immediately felt the pressure. Looking at Tang Cheng carefully, he could clearly see the impatience and coldness in Tang Cheng's expression. The restaurant owner, who was full of businessmen's schemes, shuddered subconsciously when he faced Tang Cheng's emotionless eyes. "I only remember that the person in the photo did come to our place three days ago. He entered the second private room on the left on the second floor. But I really don't know what happened in the private room. I usually go to the private room. of guests are tired of being disturbed.”

The restaurant owner looked very innocent when he said these words, but Tang Cheng couldn't believe him easily. In particular, the memory fragments he copied from the cook's mind showed clearly that the middle-aged man who met the cook in the private room knew the owner of the restaurant. "Shop Manager Xia, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Well, if you think your backer is useful, then I will give you a chance now. You can call your backer now and put this Tell him exactly what happened."

Tang Cheng did not continue to force the opponent, nor did it look for opportunities to copy the opponent's memory fragments. Instead, it gave the opponent a chance to retreat in order to advance. But what Tang Cheng didn't expect was that the relaxation he showed at this moment would make the restaurant owner more suspicious, and he did not dare to contact his backer. The calm breeze in Tangcheng made the restaurant owner feel bad. In the dark, he felt that the young man in front of him was digging a hole for himself.

The restaurant owner's hesitation was noticed by Tang Cheng, but he did not urge him, he just lit another cigarette. If the cigarette is finished and the other party has not made a choice, Tang Cheng will help the other party make a choice. Fortunately, the restaurant owner was not confused. Tang Cheng had only smoked half of his cigarettes, and the restaurant owner had already made his choice. "The person in the photo came to my place not only three days ago, but also before. He came here every time to meet people."

The restaurant owner, who was full of suspicion, secretly observed Tang Cheng's reaction while talking. Although Tang Cheng's expression did not change, there was a slight pause in his smoking movement. Seeing this, the restaurant owner continued. "The person who met this man here is called Wu Dongcheng. He used to do cloth business in the next street. Later I heard that Wu Dongcheng went to Kaifa Village in Chengdu." Finally, the owner of the restaurant asked about the mysterious middle-aged man. , Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Cheng's reaction also made the restaurant owner feel relieved. He could now see that the situation he just mentioned was indeed what the young man in front of him needed. "I don't know where Wu Dongcheng lives now, but I heard him say that he has relatives in the city, and he should be living with relatives. Three days ago was the last time I saw him, and then he It never appeared again." The last words added by the restaurant owner made Tang Cheng raise his eyebrows and have a bad feeling in his heart.

The restaurant owner obviously didn't know much information, so in the following time, Tang Cheng drew Wu Dongcheng's appearance according to the description on the restaurant's display cabinet. Tang Cheng, who copied the memory fragments from the cook's mind, naturally knew what Wu Dongcheng looked like, but he was also accompanied by military command personnel assigned by the bureau, so he could not directly find Wu Dongcheng out of thin air. The existence of the restaurant owner just gave Tang Cheng an opportunity. Because of the restaurant owner's narrative, he had clues about Wu Dongcheng, which is very reasonable.

Seeing with his own eyes that the young man in front of him could almost draw a 100% picture of Wu Dongcheng's appearance based on his own description, the restaurant owner who was supposed to be lucky was now really panicked. After Tang Cheng handed the portrait to the military commander to take and develop the photos, the restaurant owner carefully approached Tang Cheng and spoke to Tang Cheng in a low voice. "Can you tell me what happened today?" Tang Cheng turned his head when he heard this, and first saw a gold bar handed over by the other party.

The restaurant owner was very careful when handing over the gold bar. Only the two of them could see the gold bar, but Tang Cheng curled his lips in silence. Tang Cheng, who already controls two gold mines in northern Myanmar, is no longer the ignorant boy who lived off bounties. Now the Tang family can make money every day. Noticing Tang Cheng's curled lips, the restaurant owner thought that Tang Cheng was too young, so he gritted his teeth and took out another gold bar from his body and handed it to Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng, who was secretly disdainful, did not reach out to take the gold bar from the other party, but looked up at the other party. "Shopkeeper Xia, not everyone likes this! Since you want to ask for information, I think you are a sober person. I might as well remind you. You are in the restaurant business, so do your business well? It's best not to get involved blindly in other matters, otherwise you may lose your life." After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he called a military commander and took away the gold bar handed over by the restaurant owner.

The restaurant owner who originally thought that Tang Cheng would reject the gold bars was really itching his teeth with hatred. Unfortunately, he did not dare to show his anger in person. He could only think of asking his backers after Tang Cheng and the others left. . With Wu Dongcheng's portrait and photo, it is only a matter of time to find him in the city. All of a sudden, everyone from the three religions in the city to the buddies were mobilized. Taking the photos distributed by the military command operatives, they began to search for the whereabouts of Wu Dongcheng in the city.

Tangcheng casually found a teahouse to sit and wait. Before he could finish a pot of tea, someone took a photo and found Wu Dongcheng's whereabouts in the city. The restaurant owner was right at the time. Wu Dongcheng did have a fixed residence in the city, but the person who provided the residence was not a so-called relative, but a concubine that Wu Dongcheng had previously kept in the city. Wu Dongcheng returned to Chongqing this time and has been living in his mistress's home, which is located at the junction of the east and south of the city.

Knowing that Wu Dongcheng's foothold had been found, Tang Cheng felt relieved and immediately rushed over with his people. Wu Dongcheng's foothold was a two-story building facing the street. As long as he stood in front of the window, he could see what was going on in the street outside. It was a good hiding place. Tang Cheng, who learned about the situation, did not enter the street with great fanfare, but slowly entered the street alone. According to what the informant reported, Wu Dongcheng's mistress also opened a grocery store in this street.

Tang Cheng, who entered the street alone, did not look around, but followed the informant's previous instructions and went straight to the delicatessen in the middle of the street and bought two bags of cooked food. Tang Cheng came out of the delicatessen with two packages of cooked food in his hands so that he would not attract attention. Tang Cheng seemed to be like other passers-by, but in fact he had been secretly observing the situation on this street, especially the small building facing the street where Wu Dongcheng settled and the grocery store owned by his mistress.

When passing by the small building facing the street, Tang Cheng clearly felt that someone was secretly observing the situation on the street outside through a window on the second floor of the building. Therefore, Tangcheng did not get off at the East Station for me. He just carried the cooked food as if nothing had happened and followed a group of men and women out of the small street. The military commanders were waiting at the corner of the street. When they saw Tang Cheng coming out, they did not surround him to ask about the situation, but pretended not to see Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng turned the corner of the street before he finally stopped. The few military commanders who were secretly paying attention to him also dispersed to join Tang Cheng. "Preliminary judgment shows that the target is still at his residence. When I passed by the small building, I clearly felt that someone was on the second floor of the small building, quietly observing the situation outside." Tang Cheng's words cheered up everyone present. They all knew that arresting Living in Wudongcheng is a great achievement.
