black market. Somewhere in a basement.
Liu Guangyue flipped through the information at hand and marveled:
"The Huo family doesn't know what they are up to recently. They have arrested so many people for experiments. Fortunately, we ran away early and had the protection of the alchemist, so they didn't dare to mess with you."
Li Haibo nodded and sighed:
"The doctors have changed the cake of their high-priced pharmaceutical industry chain, but they are not ready to go head-to-head with the people above them, so they will naturally choose to find another way. If it is a step later, maybe they really won't let him go.
"But we can't relax too early. Zhang Zhibo's people were investigating the source of those poisonous imitation pills, and they found a small family under the Huo family. They didn't dare to investigate further."
"...Is this a plan to quietly use drugs to control other small forces in the black market? A small family would not dare to take over such a business. No wonder Zhang Zhibo does not dare to investigate."
Liu Guangyue frowned.
"But in this way, if the alchemist plans to mass-produce or form an industry in the future, I am afraid that sooner or later he will have to confront the Huo family."
“You don’t even have to wait until that day.”
Li Haibo closed his eyes and pinched Qingming point.
"As long as the 'Alchemy Master' is here, the Huo family can only drink soup behind the 'Alchemy Master'. Do you think they will be willing to do so? They are arresting people on the edge of our territory this time, so there may not be any alchemy masters to test." It means strength.”
"Just them? They don't know that the level of alchemy masters in fighting is higher than the level of refining medicine, right?"
Liu Guangyue curled his lips, obviously disdainful of the Huo family's behavior.
However, Li Haibo's expression was not relaxed:
"I'm not worried that Lin Tianyu can't beat them. What I'm worried about is..."
He was worried that Lin Tianyu didn't care about them at all and had no intention of protecting them in front of the Huo family.
I just thought that since that incident, Lin Tianyu had done nothing but heal his leg injury and verbally promised to "revenge" him.
Maybe Lin Tianyu is very busy now, or maybe there are more important things waiting for him to do, which Li Haibo can understand. In fact, Li Haibo didn't really hope that Lin Tianyu could solve the Li family for him.
But in this way, Lin Tianyu's attitude towards them has actually been clearly seen.
It is true that these people in the black market are helped by Lin Tianyu, but Lin Tianyu will never treat them as important personnel at the top of the list. Compared with this dark and dirty place, the innocent and bright world outside is the goal and direction of people's development.
Family is more important than them, the hospital is more important than them, studies are more important than them, and even women are more important than them.
But for them, apart from 'Gem Eyes' and 'Alchemy Master', they are just a small intelligence organization that has just developed. Whether it is strength or connections, it is still difficult to gain a foothold in the black market.
They must hug Lin Tianyu's thighs with a shy face in order to maintain their current status - and the price of not being able to maintain may be worse than when they were originally impoverished and had nothing.
This is an unequal relationship of charity and dependence. Even if he could trust Lin Tianyu's character, Li Haibo really didn't have full confidence.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was particularly excited about the agreement proposed by Ling Yao.
He exhaled a long breath:
"I will mention the matter to him, but if it is not urgent, he will probably not care about it. Let's collect our people first, and be careful not to confront people from the Huo family recently.
"However, if they cross the line, don't be lenient. Lest they think we are easy to handle."
"Don't worry, they all have a sense of proportion."
It's not that Liu Guangyue couldn't hear the underlying meaning of Li Haibo. However, this is not a problem that they can solve at this stage, and it is really useless to say more. Therefore, he changed the topic and asked again:
"It seems that magic cultivators have entered the black market recently. People below saw someone secretly selling magic talismans in the East Market. However, they were taken away quickly, and neither the buyer nor the seller had time to check."
"Could it be related to those people who came from Qingzhou at that time?"
"It's possible. It is said that the Hong Gang in Qingzhou developed and grew with the support of the Demon Cultivator. The Special Intelligence Bureau sent many people to Qingzhou to investigate the Demon Cultivator's case."
Li Haibo was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head:
"Since the Secret Service will intervene sooner or later, let's not get involved in this muddy water. Quan Dang doesn't know. What's going on with the Li family recently?"
Liu Guangyue responded and turned the information on hand to the next page. He just glanced at it and frowned exaggeratedly:
"The Li family is engaged in light industry. There has been no turmoil in the industry recently. Isn't there something... uh...?"
Li Haibo paused and immediately showed a sarcastic smile:
"What 'good thing' did Li Jiahe do again?"
"Probably because I was stimulated by the 'Gem Eyes' last time, I have been playing with women more and more recently. I heard that several of them have been disabled, and it is all thanks to the Li family to cover up the matter. With this attitude, I am afraid that I am not satisfied with this job. A woman...
"I just got the news today that two people are missing in Tang Street. One is a cleaning lady working in the arena, and the other is an errand girl from the flower and bird market. Tang Street is a bit chaotic, and our people are still investigating whether it is the Li family. Taken away.”
"I'm afraid it's almost the same as if it was passed from your mouth to me. Recently, the Secret Service is investigating the black market. I don't even need to take action, he can kill himself by himself."
Li Haibo snorted coldly,
"Let him play whatever he likes, but don't think about touching our people. Go to Tang Street and let them know. If there are women and children at home, let them take care of them."
He would not "fuel the flames" for Li Jiahe in this matter, but he would not jump out to stop Li Jiahe from committing suicide. Rather than his personal grudges, he was now more worried about the survival of their entire organization on the black market.
"It's an eventful time... Put the procurement plan on the agenda. Just follow the last list, charge as much as you can, and just follow the market price. Especially the latest thermal weapons. The Huo family went crazy that day if they couldn't guarantee it. We have to be a little tough. Deal with this guy. I'll tell him about this, but he won't ask much about this kind of money."
The "he" here naturally refers to Lin Tianyu. Of course, Lin Tianyu wouldn't make much money by opening a medical clinic, but he could make a lot of money by refining medicine as an "alchemist", and he would never be stingy with Li Haibo's plan to use money rationally.
"Okay. I'll make arrangements right away..."
Before Liu Guangyue finished speaking, he heard a bang and the door to the room was knocked open. A little man wearing a beret stumbled through the door, shouting:
"Uncle Liu! It's not good!——"
But Liu Guangyue was not the only one in this door as he imagined. Being stared at by Li Haibo with narrowed eyes, Chen Xiaohu suddenly felt his scalp numb and started to stutter:
"Li, Brother Li. What... I just... uh..."
"If you fart, hurry up! Why is it bad?"
Liu Guangyue was speechless when he saw how cowardly he was, and kicked Chen Xiaohu on the butt.
After being kicked by Chen Xiaohu, the real thing finally came to his mind, and he immediately stood up and said excitedly:
"Hey! Yes! Something happened outside! The Huo family's underground laboratory was blown up! The noise was so loud that it was heard both inside and outside the black market!! Warriors! Fierce people!!"
Li Haibo and Liu Guangyue looked at each other. Not only were they not curious or excited, but they looked a little heavy.
——There are a lot of shady things in the laboratory. After this explosion, someone probably took something away. The Huo family would have gone crazy if not crazy.
"I'll go there myself. You immediately take the goods to the Huo family and don't give them a chance to regret it."
Li Haibo immediately made a decision, picked up the coat behind him, and stood up.
"The injury on your leg hasn't fully recovered yet, so try not to..."
Liu Guangyue also stood up, trying to stop him. But Li Haibo pushed his hand away and insisted:
"I'm just taking people to Tang Street. It's too close to the Huo family's laboratory, so there's no guarantee that there will be any chaos. If the Huo family doesn't plan to take the opportunity to cause trouble for us, it's okay for me to sit in Tang Street; but if they really want to knock on the door, , it’s useless for me to hide here. There’s no need for any further delay on your side, so hurry up and set off.”
Liu Guangyue shook his head and finally compromised.
Chen Xiaohu looked left and right, gritted his teeth and said to Li Haibo:
"I'll go with you. There was a big gathering outside today, and our people have all dispersed. Most of the people in Tang Street are the old, weak, sick and disabled. I can also be a temporary errand boy and tell them to hide."
"Let's go."
Li Haibo and Chen Xiaohu left the basement and immediately ordered a group of people to go to Tang Street with their equipment.
Although he thought about many possibilities on the road, when he arrived at the scene, Li Haibo realized how serious the matter was.
Although it was the Huo family's laboratory that exploded, the fire caused by the explosion had spread to residential areas on the edge of Tang Street.
There were too few people to maintain order, and the sound of the explosion was too loud; sirens blared loudly, and smoke and dust filled the streets of Chinatown in chaos, in which the cries of children seemed particularly harsh.
Of course, it was not just the explosion itself that caused the chaos, but also the "security team" from the Huo family who came out to search for the "culprit".
They are bent on finding the "criminal" and will do whatever it takes to do so. Not to mention blocking them from breaking into private houses, even those who accidentally blocked the road would be threatened with their knives.
Some team members even took the opportunity to knock people to the ground, and then smashed them in a big way. After making sure that no one was hiding, they took away valuable things.
In the face of guns and brutality, fear spreads wildly among the defenseless people.
Li Haibo suppressed the emotions surging in his eyes, ordered his subordinates to quickly evacuate the crowd with a dull face, and led the remaining people to confront the Huo family.
The Huo family was really anxious this time. In order to find someone, they even didn't hesitate to completely break up with the people on their side.
If the Huo family had not come to Tangjie, Li Haibo would probably have enjoyed the success and watched the Huo family make enemies everywhere. But this time it was Tangjie in his hands that bore the brunt, and he couldn't just sit back and ignore it.
There must be a way to stop these people, or lure them away.
Unfortunately, the information is now limited. He doesn't know what kind of shameful secret the Huo family has that warrants a big fight. He also doesn't know where the big-spending "culprit" is escaping. He wants to make some noise to lure the Huo family away. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, and it will be easy to be suspected in turn.
"You go and ask the people who are guarding the rally outside to withdraw to Tang Street, and ask Sister Ma to help you contact them; then ask Haozi to lead the people from the Secret Service to the Huo Family Laboratory, and make the matter as serious as possible .”
Li Haibo grabbed Chen Xiaohu, who was also about to evacuate the crowd. After explaining, he turned to the old Liu Tou next to him and said,
"The one with the armband over there must be the commander. Let's take him down first, and the rest can be taken care of easily. If we can't take him down, we can attract firepower and drag him to Sister Ma's side."
Old Liu nodded and started firing the gun, but he couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you going to inform Master Alchemy? We don't have many cultivators here."
"We were notified and couldn't make it in time. At most, many people would die to avenge us."
Li Haibo was very calm and never expected Lin Tianyu to parachute in to help at any time.
"It's hard to tell who will run away now. It's up to us. I'm afraid the main force is chasing in more likely directions. These people are obviously just searching and platooning, and the force value will not be too high."
Moreover, wealth can be found in danger. The Huo family's behavior this time obviously broke the default rules of the black market. It is reasonable for them to counterattack, and they will even get support from other forces. As long as they can capture these people, they might be able to make a big deal out of the Huo family.
But having said that, he was really curious, who had the courage to stir up trouble on the Huo family?
…
In another part of the city, Ling Yao, who knew nothing about what was going on in the black market, was sitting in the backyard of Wu Medical Center drinking tea leisurely.
Of course, it's not just about drinking tea, but also teaching the middle-aged uncle how to dance with a sword.
The fact that he can be so leisurely now is also thanks to Yu Huisheng's strong mobility. I heard that he had recently submitted a research project on Chinese patent medicine, and it was endorsed by Wu's Medical Center. I couldn't see anything related to cultivation. Yu Huisheng immediately made a decision and sent an email to the college, asking them to hurry up and approve the project. , and even used their own money to add funds to get the project started quickly.
At this time, Wu Jinglong's experiment has entered a new stage. Before the approval documents and funds are available, both of them can fish and be happy.
But when the project officially starts, he will be busy. Experimental location, equipment procurement, personnel recruitment, capital flow...it's basically a continuous process. Can't we take good care of ourselves at this time?
Three o'clock, tea first——
"Go, go, go! The Huo family is looking for someone! Everyone else, please leave the hospital!"
The smile on Ling Yao's face solidified instantly.
What is this going to do!
He picked up the phone with a stiff face and opened the text box.
I want to see what the protagonist is going to do today... huh? No text messages today? ?
Ling Yao was a little dumbfounded. So this time, it’s not a “drama”?
What's that! ! who! ! Besides the protagonist, who else would come to disturb his old life! ! Are you worthy? ? !
Wu Jinglong had already rushed out. Ling Yao rubbed his stiff face, walked out of the courtyard heavily despite his high blood pressure, and followed him to the front hall.
I saw the Huo family's guards pushing the guests out of the hall, knocking over many storage boxes, and poking the medicine baskets with knives, as if that big place could really Same as Tibetans.
This is intimidating.
Wu Jinglong did not stop the patients who were scared away. He just asked the Huo family who was leading the team what they wanted to do.
"Hey, what are you doing? Your son isn't in the hospital, right? It doesn't matter! I will naturally be responsible for whatever trouble my son causes!"
"He, what did he commit? Even your Huo family has no reason to bully others like this!"
This is the voice of the landlady, but it is Wu Jinglong’s wife Lan Guifang.
"If you can't produce any evidence, don't even think about coming to Wu's for medical treatment in the future!"
The leader pushed Lan Guifang away fiercely, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and showed it in front of everyone:
"You want evidence? Come and see! It's written in black and white! Wu Zifan has signed a contract with our Huo family for three years, assisting us in drug research and treating our patients! There are also various confidentiality agreements here! What's the result? Not only did he bring our Important information escaped and our important laboratory was blown up!!
"He's still treating patients. Haha. If he has the ability, he will never show his face for the rest of his life! Your Wu's Medical Clinic will never even think of opening its doors to treat patients!"
I didn't have time to look at the terms of the contract in detail, but the final signature was clearly Wu Zifan's name, and even had a private seal, so it couldn't be faked.
Lan Guifang immediately covered her chest and was speechless. She didn't know whether she was angry or frightened.
Wu Jinglong frowned even more, unable to do anything to resolve the situation.
There was only infinite regret in his heart - why didn't he watch for a while before this bastard signed such a big contract of betrayal, and now he even wants to smash Wu's Medical Center into it?
If he had known this, he might as well have sent him to a university in the capital to avoid causing so many troubles!
"You can't treat people, that's not okay. I'm only halfway through the treatment, if I change the doctor, wouldn't it be all in vain?"
Suddenly, a young voice came from behind the curtain. The leading captain immediately turned around and saw a slightly unfamiliar face.
Seeing that it was not Wu Zifan and he was not an important character, his attitude became a little more impatient:
"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here? Get out of here! If you don't get out, you will be treated as if you are in the same group as this Wu's Medical Center, and I will arrest them all!"
"Hey! That's great. Just wait, I'll make a call..."
"You still want to call the police?! If you can, call the police! Look at the police in Fengcheng, do they dare to care about our Huo family?"
A team member next to him grinned evilly.
However, the young man opposite him not only showed no fear, but showed some sympathy and shook his head with regret.
Before the team member could become furious, he heard the phone being connected, and an angry voice came from the phone:
"Hello? It's Boy Botu! Ha! It's rare for you to take the initiative to call your grandfather! When will you come back? You haven't been to any of the recent banquets! If you don't come back, people will almost forget that you are also from the Nan family. of people!"
"I want to go back too, but isn't it impossible? I'm seeing a doctor at Wu's Medical Center. Before the doctor even said a word to me, the entire medical center was surrounded by people from the Huo family. Oh, this There was another one beside me who said he wanted to take me away with him."
Ling Yao curled the corners of his mouth, and while talking, he looked at the leader of the Huo family,
"It seems that I have to show my face more. This person is also a direct descendant of the Huo family. It seems that he has long forgotten that I am from the Nan family. Grandpa, you should bring a few people over to support me, so that others will not Call me a liar."
This member of the Huo family is not favored, but at least he is a direct descendant, so he naturally relies on the Huo family as a backer to do whatever he wants. Ling Yao's "defeat you in the field you are good at" obviously angered the other party.
He was usually annoyed by the eldest young masters from other aristocratic families. Now even a small character like Nan Botu could climb over his head. How could he bear it? Suddenly, he became angry and misfortune came out of his mouth:
"Nan Bo Tu? That Nan Bo Tu who was picked up and is probably not the illegitimate child of someone from the Nan family? How dare you do it in front of me with your identity!"
Unfortunately, before he could finish his harsh words, Ling Yao threw him over the shoulder with a cheerful face and pinned the man to the ground. He also conveniently took the gun from the man's hand and pressed it straight against his temple. Go down:
"I'm being rude, what can you do? Let's talk about it? Let everyone enjoy it?"
