After Thomas Hong hugged his grandson for a while, he handed the child to Hong Jiahui and said to Zhou Jie: "Follow me, I have something to say to you."
After saying that, he walked towards the balcony without looking back, and Zhou Jie quickly followed his footsteps.
The two stood side by side on the balcony halfway up the mountain, looking into the distance.
"Ajie, tell me the truth, what did you do before?"
Thomas Hong looked at the scenery in the distance, and finally asked the doubts he had always had in his heart.
As early as when Zhou Jie and Hong Jiahui were getting along, he had thoroughly checked Zhou Jie's background, but he could only find out that Zhou Jie came to Hong Kong Island from Bay Island three years ago to seek life.
There wasn't even a single hair left on him from the previous period, and he looked like he suddenly jumped out of a rock three years ago. That's why he was so opposed to Zhou Jie and Hong Jiahui being together in the past.
In fact, Zhou Jie is quite satisfied with his son-in-law in other aspects.
When Zhou Jie worked in the slaughterhouse, Thomas Hong also carefully checked some of his daily life. He was down-to-earth, good at making connections, smart and never lazy, and he didn't fool around. He was very disciplined in his work and rest. The key is to love his wife. As an intrusive son-in-law, he couldn't be more perfect.
If two people are really together sincerely, it won't be a big deal even if the other person has no money. He is not a person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. He has plenty of money. The key is that he discovered the temperament displayed by the other person, which is why he can support him. Someone who can get up and do something great.
Besides, Zhou Jie and Hong Jiahui never asked for a penny from him when they lived outside, so they definitely didn't come to his daughter specifically for money.
But you have to reassure him!
Zhou Jie's experience three years ago was completely blank. Even he, the leader of Hongle, mobilized a lot of resources and couldn't find any clues. How could he feel relieved?
What normal father can safely entrust his daughter to a person who doesn't even know his own origins?
It wasn't until Taibai Security invited Zhou Jie to join him that he felt a little more relieved. At least he still trusted Taibai's vision. Even if Zhou Jie had caused any trouble in the past, Taibai could protect him and his daughter would not be harmed. What involvement.
In addition, the young couple later had a child, and his attitude gradually softened. After having a child, he no longer had to worry about Zhou Jie having ulterior motives in approaching his daughter.
Although he no longer had to worry about Zhou Jie's identity, he was still curious about what Zhou Jie did in the past. It was too strange that he couldn't even find any clues after trying so hard.
Zhou Jie was silent for a while, thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, I grew up in a football country. When I was young, I joined a mercenary group called 'Angels'. I retired three years ago and came to Hong Kong Island.”
Thomas Hong also fell silent. His doubts in the past two years were finally answered. No wonder he couldn't find anything. He came from the football country and lived a life of licking blood with a knife for so many years. If he could It would be strange to find out that.
"Treat Jiahui well from now on." Thomas Hong only said one sentence.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Jiahui!" Zhou Jie promised with excitement.
Is my father-in-law finally letting go?
Do you recognize him as your son-in-law?
"Football Country... Angel... By the way, some time ago, an Angel Travel Agency from Football Country came to Hong Kong Island and said it wanted to discuss business with me. The other party was also called Angel."
Zhou Jie's expression suddenly became weird. Thomas Hong looked at his expression and asked in a weird tone: "Could it be the angel you were with before?"
Zhou Jie didn't know what to say about this. After thinking for a while, he said: "Do you still remember Andre from the Medellin Group?"
"Remember, Hong Le was his next partner in Southeast Asia eight years ago. However, Hong Le stopped being a fan after I took over eight years ago. A few months ago, he wanted to continue working together but was rejected by me. Why did he suddenly appear again? Did you mention him?"
"Dad, it's like this. Hong Le's uncle who was killed by you two months ago when you enforced family law actually contacted him secretly after you rejected Andre, hoping that Andre could kill you, and then the other party If you take the position again, you can continue to cooperate, and the orders placed by Andre are picked up by Angel. Angel came to Hong Kong Island because he had other things to do, but he just took the order as soon as he got it."
Thomas Hong was also confused by the intricate relationship between them, but he was still surprised and continued to ask doubtfully: "Why didn't the angel take action?"
"Well, I went to persuade them to give up this mission, and they all decided to wait until the things here are finished, and then go back and kill Andre, so as not to leave a bad impact on the record of the failure of this mission, but I didn't expect that They had only been in Hong Kong Island for two days, and Andre from the football country was killed..."
Thomas Hong was speechless for a while after hearing this.
What else could he say?
Are your operations all this cool?
In order to have good performance, do you kill your employer if you can't complete the task?
Why are you so good at playing?
He patted Zhou Jie on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, you are considerate."
"It's nothing. This is what I should do. Dad, have you paid attention to the recent selection of a new leader by Liansheng?"
Thomas Hong looked at him in surprise, "You must be paying attention. Why are you suddenly concerned about this kind of thing?"
"Sigh... The situation is a bit complicated this time, and there may be internal strife between He Lian Sheng!"
Um?
Thomas Hong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he immediately asked quickly: "What do you mean by internal strife? Could it be that Big D and A Le will fight over that position?"
"No, Big D decided to give up his candidacy this time."
Zhou Jie didn't say much, just said this sentence, but Thomas Hong understood everything after hearing it. He also had a certain understanding of some things within He Liansheng.
So the conflict within Lian Sheng is not between Ah Le and Big D, but between Big D and the entire uncle generation?
However, Big D's step of retreating into progress is really wonderful. He directly peeled off the tiger skin of his uncle, so that others would choose to wait and see for the time being.
If Uncle Deng and his uncles cannot solve Big D in a short time, then the uncles will lose all their prestige, and many people will have some little thoughts.
But on the surface, Big D didn't do anything extreme. He just gave up his candidacy. Is this wrong?
Therefore, all actions on the surface cannot be carried out, and all competitions can only be conducted off the stage, not on the stage. On the surface, peace is still the most important thing.
But he still felt that Big D was a little impatient. It was too risky to reveal his attitude so quickly. Although he had gained a certain amount of initiative, he also became a thorn in the side of all his uncles.
They should stay dormant for a while and catch them off guard when they are strong enough. The situation will be much better.
But what did Zhou Jie mean when he told himself this?
He looked at Zhou Jie again, only to hear Zhou Jie continue to say: "He is not the only one with Big D this time. He has secretly joined forces with Jimmy Zai, who is in charge of the stable under Long Gen, as well as those who have been fighting for peace. Su, the white paper fan master who was involved in lawsuits among Lian Sheng's uncles, might have been very strong in the past but not a brain eater, but this time he has two brains to advise him, and Jimmy Tsai also has a certain level of strength."
"Who is Jimmy Tsai?" Thomas Hong really doesn't know who Jimmy Tsai is. After all, although Jimmy Tsai is the actual talking head with Lian Sheng in Mong Kok, he doesn't take the initiative very much and only worries about his own business all day long. , so many people on the road don’t know him very well.
"Oh, don't look at Jimmy. He is inconspicuous. Seven years ago, he and his master Su saved the life of Daquan Leopard, who is now Director Shi of Yangcheng. You should also know that Director Shi was a famous figure in the New World during the Wubao Company. The veteran joined, and the other party reciprocated, opening up a channel for Jimmy Tsai and Master Soda to smuggle into the mainland."
Zhou Jie stopped talking at this point, he had finished everything he needed to say, and Thomas Hong should have understood what he meant.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Thomas Hong only replied and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the more Thomas Hong looked at this son-in-law, the more he liked him. He didn't expect that he would give him such a big gift just after he admitted that he was his son-in-law. If he planned it well this time, he might be able to eat a big piece of it. Come off the fat!
However, doing this was equivalent to boarding a ship in the new world, but Thomas Hong didn't mind this and was happy to accept it.
If you think about it the other way around, isn't this a connection with the new world?
This will be more beneficial to his plan to clear Hong Le, and his son-in-law is originally from the New World. Telling him these things today may not necessarily mean that they are not from the New World.
He also understood what the other party meant. The nature of the news coming from his son-in-law Zhou Jie was different from the other party telling him directly.
There is at least a layer of buffering when it comes from the son-in-law's mouth. It means that whether you want to do something or not depends on your own will. Even if you choose not to do something, there is no problem.
Since the other party respects me so much and gives such a big gift, I accept it with a smile.
Would it be the same if it were done by three groups in West Kowloon?
Maybe he will do better, so why should he tell himself the news?
The other party is so sincere, and if he talks to his mother-in-law, it will only make the other party look down on him. What should he be afraid of if he gets on the other party's ship?
Zhou Jie actually didn't say much, he just briefly talked about Big D's plan and the three people in his camp, but he specifically pointed out Director Shi as the veteran of the new world.
In this way, the division of camps will be clear, and Thomas Hong will have an idea of what to do.
