"When I was a police officer, I saw a lot of collusion between law enforcers and the underworld. This is not an exception. It's the norm. Even the law enforcers will provide protection for the underworld. Both sides are in cahoots with each other. Making money together. "Bai Yujiao took a sip of tea and said with a disdainful face. "So what's so strange about Mister Zhao's whitewashing? I won't be surprised even if he works in a government agency in the future. "
"No way!" A few security guards who were familiar with Bai Yujiao were surprised. "That's possible?"
"Why not?" Bai Yujiao said as if she was counting her family treasures. "Do you really think that Ye Shiguan and Mister Zhao are fighting for territory under the noses of those in power? Stop dreaming. What era is this, who cares about protection fees? How valuable is one's life now? That protection fee is not even enough to pay for the deceased's pension. Besides, Ye Shiguan and Mister Zhao are already bosses with their own businesses. Would they be stupid enough to incite their subordinates to fight for territory? If they really have the strength, wouldn't it be more profitable to smuggle arms and drugs? They fight for territory not to earn some small profits, but to defeat the other party and win the recognition of the higher-ups. Then, they will change from black to white, becoming legitimate merchants, and amass wealth without restraint. "
"The world is so dark." A young security guard sighed. It was as if his worldview had completely collapsed.
"Don't complain. Focus on work. Making money and getting a wife is the right thing to do. That kind of negotiation with the higher-ups has nothing to do with you and me. "Bai Yujiao slowly restrained her gossipy mentality and chased away the security guard with a cold face.
Seeing that everyone had left and Xiao Zheng was sleeping on the table, she knocked on the table and complained, "Xiao Zheng, your enthusiasm for work has been very low recently. It's fine if you take leave every now and then, but why are you so listless at work as if you've lost your soul? "
Xiao Zheng, whose eyes were red and swollen from sleep, slightly raised his head, absentmindedly lit a cigarette and faintly said, "I recently lost hundreds of thousands of yuan in the stock market. I just feel that life is meaningless and my future is bleak. "
"No way?" Bai Yujiao was stunned. "The stock market has been so miserable recently, and you still dare to enter the market?"
"I'm just trying to make a killing at a low price, aren't I? Who knows how many junk stocks I've bought? "Xiao Zheng complained. "If I had known earlier, I would have saved the money to buy a house."
Bai Yujiao snappily said, "Are you short of money? Do you want me to lend you some? "
"Of course!" Xiao Zheng raised his head like a ferocious tiger and said solemnly. "I'm so poor that I can't even feed myself!"
"How much?" Bai Yujiao asked casually.
"One million!" Xiao Zheng raised a finger and said seriously. "I plan to make a down payment first, then do some simple renovations to at least solve the problem of living here."
"Get lost." Bai Yujiao rolled her eyes. "Where can I steal a million for you?"
"Then 100,000 it is!" Xiao Zheng solemnly vowed. "You have to get up from where you fell. I plan to enter the stock market again and take back what I lost! "
"Dream on," Bai Yujiao said in disdain. "With your IQ, don't be cannon fodder for the evil capitalists. Just make money and support your family. "
After saying that, Bai Yujiao took out a bank card and handed it to Xiao Zheng, saying, "There's 20,000 in here. I originally planned to buy a TV, so you can spend it first. You can return it to me when you have it. "
"Only 20,000?" Xiao Zheng said with dissatisfaction. "Boss Bai, can you not be so stingy? For someone with an annual salary like you, it should be at least 50,000, right? "
"Do you think money just falls from the sky?" Bai Yujiao glared at Xiao Zheng. She took back the bank card. "Forget it."
"Yes, of course."
Xiao Zheng took the bank card with a mischievous smile and said, "To be honest, I'm really short on money recently."
"Go to work." Bai Yujiao got up and said. "Although you're the vice-captain now, you can't always let your colleagues take over. As time goes by, you will inevitably have complaints. "
"Don't worry. I will definitely set an example and increase everyone's enthusiasm for work. "Xiao Zheng put the bank card into his pocket and couldn't help but yawn. "I'll go to inspect the work in a while."
"En." Bai Yujiao nodded and turned to leave the conference room. On the other hand, Xiao Zheng fell asleep on the table again.
Ma Choi Jun sent him a message that Ye Shiguan's body had been sent back to the Ye Family. There was nothing missing. It should be that Ye Shiguan died due to excessive blood loss not long after they left.
According to the current situation of Pearl City, the Ye Family's forces were unable to recover because of Ye Shiguan's sudden death. Although there were some veterans like Black Bear supporting them, they still didn't have enough appeal. But in the end, it did not have enough appeal. People could leave, and those who rebelled would rebel. Not to mention being able to stand up to the behemoth that was the Zhao family. Even many forces that had been suppressed by Ye Shiguan took advantage of the situation and burned the bridge after crossing the river.
Xiao Zheng took a nap in the conference room for a while and opened his eyes on time for dinner. He saw the local news playing on the TV in the conference room. The sound wasn't loud, but a name was impressively reflected in Xiao Zheng's eyes.
Zhao Meng.
Who was Zhao Meng? Perhaps most people on Pearl City knew the name Mister Zhao, but very few people knew that Mister Zhao's real name was Zhao Meng. Even if the TV broadcast news related to Zhao Meng every day, it was likely that no one would connect this name with Mister Zhao.
The TV was broadcasting Zhao Meng's strong support for the government and a large amount of investment to contribute to the emergency development of Pearl City. Not long after, an unprecedentedly grand charity gala would be held. A series of senior officials from relevant departments would be invited to participate. In this regard, the municipal government gave a considerable positive support and would fully cooperate with Zhao Meng.
"Philanthropist?"
Xiao Zheng expressionlessly lit a cigarette and sneered contemptuously: "You're covered in blood, can you wash it clean?"
…
Ye Shiguan died.
But life had to go on. Whether it was Xiao Zheng, Black Bear, or Ma Choi Jun and others, or Xin Ao Company. No one would stop living because of Ye Shiguan's death. Even if this person was once the Pearl of Fortune and the idol of countless young people.
However, people were easily forgetful, especially those who had no interaction with Ye Shiguan. They would use Ye Shiguan as a topic of conversation for a long time, even to the extent of educating the next generation to study hard and become a useful social elite in the future. Not like Ye Shiguan, who was stabbed to death by a knife in the underworld.
But for Xiao Zheng, Ye Shiguan was not an insignificant person, even if the two of them once stood on the opposite side. But at this moment, seeing Mister Zhao appear on the television news, watching him enjoy the joy of success, Qin Chao's heart sank. Infinite killing intent flashed in Xiao Zheng's eyes, gathering more and more!
