Jiang Stops quickly went downstairs, through the hotel lobby, and out the door. He stood on the side of the busy street and frowned as he looked at the traffic in the distance.
Yan Ji followed him out and wrapped his windbreaker around Jiang Stops. He said simply, "It's cold outside."
Jiang Stops nodded. "Qi Sihao said he'll be here in a few minutes."
They didn't expect the King Of Spades to act so quickly. After all, he didn't intend to kill Qi Sihao. He just wanted to make him work for himself. Therefore, when Qi Sihao was hesitating between following them or staying in Gongzhou, Jiang Stops told him to keep to his daily routine and not let others see anything unusual.
"What do you think is going on with Fang Zhenghong?" Qi Sihao's car was still nowhere to be seen. Yan Ji took out a cigarette and lit it. He asked Jiang Stops, "Why does he act like he knows you before?"
Jiang Stops reached for the cigarette, but Yan Ji stopped him. "You're not in good health. Forget it."
Yan Ji didn't know what Ceng Cuicui had posted on her WeChat Moments, but he refused to buy red bean buns for breakfast. He insisted that Jiang Stops eat more meat, saying that eating meat was good for the body. Now, he refused to smoke. In order to prevent Jiang Stops from flicking the cigarette out of his mouth, he even deliberately twisted his body, his face full of vigilance.
Jiang Ting let out a long sigh, thinking that Yang Mei's article was right. Family members without income could only be considered second-class citizens. Thus, she helplessly rubbed her nose and said, "We've met before, but we're not familiar with each other."
"Not close in what way?"
"When Gongzhou and Jianning were working together, he was the leader of Jianning's team. So, we've worked together a few times. I feel that this person is quite cooperative with my orders, and everything he does is reasonable. So when you said that Fang Zhenghong didn't like your family's wealth, I was quite surprised. In my impression, he never flaunted his seniority. On the contrary, he always respected others. "
At this point, Jiang Stops paused and cautiously added, "But this only means that he has a good impression of me. It's impossible for him to believe that I'm not in cahoots with drug dealers just because of a few collaborations."
Then where did Fang Zhenghong's strange attitude towards the two of them come from?
Yan Ji smoked and pondered for a while. He took a deep breath and said, "Do you think Yue Guangping's gun was really stolen by Fang Zhenghong?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on what benefits the King Of Spades can offer him." Jiang Stops said thoughtfully, "But I always feel that … Fang Zhenghong's attitude towards you is not so much that he is tempted by benefits, but rather …"
Yan Ji looked at him. The two of them looked at each other on the noisy street. After a moment, Jiang Stops finally spat out two words in confusion.
"Hatred."
Screech —
At this time, a Mercedes-Benz stopped on the sidewalk. The window rolled down and Qi Sihao's sweaty face poked out. "I'm here. Get up! "
·
In order to welcome Qi Sihao's arrival, Fang Zhenghong's mouth was stuffed with a leather glove and locked in the bathroom. The man over 50 years old was tormented by Yan Ji until he was bristling with anger. He kept making squeaking sounds of protest. But Qi Sihao was scared to death. After entering the room, he trembled as he held a cup of hot water. He completely ignored the noise coming from the bathroom.
"I went to the city council meeting this morning. As soon as I left the neighborhood, a white truck followed me and followed me at a distance. I didn't pay attention at first, but when I got off the overpass and it was more secluded, another truck suddenly overtook me and kept crossing the line to force me to the right side of the road. No matter how slow I was, I knew something was wrong. They clearly wanted to hit me! I wanted to speed up and get rid of them, but as soon as I sped up, the truck and the truck sped up at the same time. They wanted to force me to stop! "
Qi Sihao was still in shock. He drank a few mouthfuls of hot water before he calmed down. "The truck on the left kept squeezing me, and the truck behind kept bumping into the back of my car. It was like this for several kilometers. I can't describe it in detail. I was too nervous at the time. I couldn't even see the license plate number clearly. If I had been slightly distracted, the car would have been destroyed and I would have died. Fortunately, I … What the f * ck is that sound?! "
Qi Sihao was startled and looked towards the bathroom. Yan Ji said casually, "It's nothing, stray dog."
Qi Sihao: "?"
The protest in the bathroom became louder.
"So you didn't go to the city council meeting and changed your route to Gaorong County?" Jiang Stops asked.
"How would I dare to go to the meeting?!" Qi Sihao cried. "They even dared to make a move on the way to the city council. How bold are these people?!"
Yan Ji crossed his arms and leaned against the TV cabinet. He snorted when he heard that. "You're quite bold. You even dared to drive a car worth less than a million to the city council. Are you afraid that the Commission for Discipline Inspection doesn't know how much money you've made?"
"Yes, yes." Qi Sihao spread his hands. He was both regretful and wronged. "But how would I know that making this little money would anger a drug lord like the King Of Spades? They're the ones who make and sell drugs. They're also the ones who make a lot of money. I'm just getting some 'pocket change' to drink some meat soup. Do they have to kill me over and over again?! "
Yan Ji didn't know if it was an illusion, but after Qi Sihao said this, the movement in the bathroom suddenly stopped.
"If you think that way, something bigger will happen in the future," Jiang Stops said lightly.
It would have been better if he didn't say that. After hearing this, Qi Sihao's face turned green and red. He jumped up irritably. "Is this the time to talk about whether I'm wrong or not? You promised me that as long as I cooperated with the investigation of Yue Guangping's death, I could find evidence of the drug dealers' crimes and bring the King Of Spades to justice. But now? Where's the progress of your investigation?! "
Yan Ji said, "Calm down, Old Qi. We've at least found out that Yue Guangping might have a child out of wedlock …"
"Could it be that the child is the King Of Spades?" The anxious and angry Qi Sihao couldn't wait to interrupt him. "His son is a drug dealer. That's why the 1009 operation was leaked in advance. He blamed himself and asked to meet Captain Jiang, but his son killed him first?"
The room was silent. They looked at each other. After a while, they finally heard Yang Mei sigh with satisfaction.
