As night fell, the city of Zhonghai was submerged in a sea of bright lights.
The Dragon Garden Villa in the suburbs seemed quiet and comfortable.
After changing out of her professional suit, Lin Ruoxi, who was wearing a checkered cotton men's pajamas, let her long hair down. The loose pajamas made her look light and soft. Her smooth face without any makeup looked delicate and flawless under the light yellow light.
She was like a young lady from a respectable family who never left her home. Her gentle appearance did not make her look like the ruthless and cold female CEO outside at all.
Sitting on the chair beside the western dining table, there were more than ten plates of exquisite dishes on the table. They were all delicacies cooked by Mother Wang with the exception of a plate of lettuce salad. It seemed to have been overheated when it was soaked in water, causing its color to turn yellow.
Mother Wang came out of the kitchen with a small rice cooker. Following Lin Ruoxi's gaze, she saw the big clock on the wall.
It was almost eight o 'clock in the evening.
"Miss, is the son-in-law not back yet?" Mother Wang said with some pity, "Maybe he won't be home for dinner today. It's a pity for this table of dishes. I wanted to welcome the son-in-law back. After all, he just came back from afar. Sigh, let's not wait anymore. Miss, you've been waiting for almost an hour. Let's eat first. "
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and smiled. "I didn't wait for him. I just wasn't hungry just now. Mother Wang, let's eat first."
"Okay …" Mother Wang responded and didn't point it out. She scooped food for Lin Ruoxi and scooped a bowl for herself.
After the two sat down, they ate in silence.
Mother Wang looked at the lettuce salad that was put aside and said, "Miss, you made it yourself. Have you tried it?"
"No, it doesn't look good. Mother Wang, the dishes you make are all green. Once I make them, they turn yellow. It seems that I'm not good at cooking." Lin Ruoxi's expression was a bit gloomy.
"Miss, you're much smarter than me. I'm sure you'll be good at cooking. It's a pity that the son-in-law won't be back today. If he sees you learning to cook for him, he'll be very happy." Mother Wang comforted.
Lin Ruoxi put down the bowl and chopsticks. "Mother Wang, don't mention him. I'm not learning for him. I just suddenly want to learn to cook."
Mother Wang smiled helplessly. "Okay, okay. It's not for the son-in-law. I'm sorry I said I was wrong. But Miss, why don't you call him and ask why he's not coming back? Maybe he's coming back for dinner? "
"I don't want to." Lin Ruoxi looked away with a bit of resentment on her face. "He'll eat by himself when he's hungry. It's fine if he doesn't want to come back for dinner. It's best if he doesn't come back in the future. Anyway, he has a lot of women outside. It's fine to eat anywhere.
Otherwise, I'll be upset when I see him! "Mother Wang looked at Lin Ruoxi who was like a little bully and didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Miss, what are you talking about? The son-in-law must have something urgent to do and didn't come home for dinner. Any man would be angry if you said that to him. Don't talk nonsense. "
At this moment, the phone rang.
Lin Ruoxi sighed and walked to the sofa to pick up the phone. She looked at the number. It was Choi Yeon.
"Yeonyeon, what's wrong?"
Choi Yeon said seriously on the other end of the phone, "Ruoxi, are you at home tonight?"
"Yeah, are you coming over?" Lin Ruoxi asked curiously.
"No, I just want to make sure. I'm worried that you have something to do outside. Anyway, stay at home tonight and don't go anywhere else. At least wait until dawn before you go out. "
"Yeonyeon, what do you mean?" Lin Ruoxi frowned.
Choi Yeon sighed and said, "Anyway, just listen to me. I'm worried about you, that's why I called you. Zhonghai isn't very safe tonight. That's all I can say to you. Okay, I'm very busy. Bye!"
When Lin Ruoxi's expression changed slightly, Choi Yeon hung up the phone.
"Miss, what did Miss Choi Yeon say?" Mother Wang saw Lin Ruoxi's expression didn't look too good, so she asked hurriedly.
Lin Ruoxi didn't hide it and said, "She told me not to go out. Something might happen in Zhonghai tonight. It's not very safe."
"It's not safe outside!?" Mother Wang immediately asked worriedly, "Then what about the son-in-law? He hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened to him?"
"Why should I care about him? He's very tough. I was almost scared to death by him this morning. I thought he was dead. I went to the hospital to have a look and was almost angered to death by him. I don't care about him. It's better if something happened to him!"
Lin Ruoxi said angrily and returned to the dining table. However, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
Mother Wang couldn't care too much this time. She didn't care what Lin Ruoxi thought. She walked to the phone and dialed Yang Cheng's number.
Lin Ruoxi picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but she didn't eat. Instead, she glanced at Mother Wang.
After a while, Mother Wang suddenly hung up the phone and sighed softly, "How could this be? He said he couldn't get through. Is there no electricity?"
Lin Ruoxi's hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. She almost dropped the chopsticks. Then, she looked out of the window. In the dark night, no one appeared.
In fact, Yang Cheng's phone was indeed out of battery. Two days ago, he returned to Zhonghai from Sichuan Province. Then, he went to the Imperial Building to look for Lin Ruoxi in the middle of the night. Today, he went to Yuan Ye's birthday party. He encountered so many things that he couldn't remember to charge his phone.
Yang Cheng was a little depressed. The communication devices he used in the past could be left uncharged after a few months. It was too troublesome to charge a phone used by ordinary people!
However, at this moment, Yang Cheng was not in the mood to care about whether his phone was out of battery or not. At 11 o 'clock at night, he was already sitting in a black Hummer H2 with Qiangwei. The car had just left a secret stronghold of the Red Thorns Society and was heading to Zhonghai East District.
In the spacious back seat, a small table was placed horizontally in front of Qiangwei. On top of it was a small Macbook. Wearing a pair of glasses with only frames but no lenses, Qiangwei looked at the map of Zhonghai City and directed the actions of the various branches of the Red Thorns Society.
"Qiangwei baby, didn't you already make a plan? Why are you still messing around here?" Yang Cheng asked.
Qiangwei playfully stuck out her little tongue and said, "There are many things that need to be changed in a field operation. Of course, it has to be perfect."
Looking at the map, Yang Cheng felt bored, but he did not want to disturb Qiangwei's good mood. After all, to Qiangwei, this kind of thing was like an emperor expanding his territory in ancient times. It really made her blood boil.
Therefore, Yang Cheng climbed into the front seat and looked at Little Zhao, who was driving, and Chen Rong, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He smiled and said, "Little Zhao, aren't you the head of the branch? Why are you still driving instead of going to the frontline to command?"
"Brother Yang, don't make fun of me. I'm just in charge of logistics. Big Sister let me drive because she thinks highly of me. This is the only good thing about me, Little Zhao. I know my place. Rongrong, don't you agree?" Little Zhao asked Chen Rong with a smile.
Chen Rong nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Little Zhao fought with me for the bartender position in the bar last time. I refused to give it to him."
Yang Cheng reached out and tapped Little Zhao's round head. "You're so useless, hanging around in the bar all day."
"Aiyo, Brother Yang, what you said is wrong. In the bar, I'm the person closest to Big Sister. In ancient times, I'm the head of the imperial household. That position is extraordinary!"
"Brother Little Zhao, the head of the imperial household is a eunuch," Chen Rong said with a strange expression …
Little Zhao felt wronged. He mumbled a few times and did not say anything else.
In the midst of the relaxed conversation, the car finally arrived at the meeting place with Fang Zhongping. It was located at the intersection of the East and West Districts.
The Hummer was parked in an open space. There were already two cars parked around it, but these two cars were a bit special. One was a government car with 0001 license plate, and the other was a police car.
Qiangwei, who was wearing a simple black sportswear, jumped out of the car. Yang Cheng, on the other hand, sat lazily in the car and pressed down the window to observe the situation outside.
Fang Zhongping and Choi Yeon had already arrived. They were relieved to see Qiangwei appear on time. After all, to them, Qiangwei and Zhou Guangnian were the leaders of the underworld forces in Zhonghai. At this moment, they were actually going to ally with one of the underworld forces to fight against the other. This scene was somewhat ironic.
However, it was fortunate that Qiangwei's Red Thorns Society had never gone against the government. They had always been relatively low-key, so they were a little more at ease.
Qiangwei reached out to shake hands with Fang Zhongping and Choi Yeon in a friendly manner. Then, they started chatting.
Fang Zhongping was the leader of the government and the armed forces, but the specific battle command was carried out by Choi Yeon and Qiangwei. However, as for the actual losses, the scope of the impact, etc., Fang Zhongping naturally had to ask clearly and reach a consensus. This was also why Choi Yeon would supervise midway.
Yang Cheng could clearly hear the contents of the discussion between the three of them from afar. Yang Cheng did not want Fang Zhongping to use the power of Red Thorns Society to destroy Dongxing, then turn around and attack Red Thorns Society. Therefore, to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and fair treatment, Yang Cheng was most concerned about ensuring the smooth implementation of the plan and fair treatment.
However, Choi Yeon, who was participating in the discussion, would glance at Yang Cheng from time to time. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, which made Yang Cheng confused. What's wrong with this violent policewoman? Could it be that she saw me together with Qiangwei, so she felt that this was another crime and was thinking of ways to arrest me?!
About twenty minutes later, Qiangwei, Fang Zhongping, and Choi Yeon parted ways and returned to the car.
"Hubby, after tonight, Zhonghai will be ours," Qiangwei said confidently.
"You're that confident? Even if Dongxing doesn't know everything, there must be some leaks. As long as we prepare some defenses, it will be a fierce battle, "Yang Cheng said.
A hint of slyness flashed across Qiangwei's eyes, "I've already made arrangements before the implementation of this plan …"
The Hummer started up again and drove towards the direction of the neon city. It was already late at night, and there were very few cars on the road. The people who were crazily getting drunk in all kinds of materialistic places had no idea that an overwhelming black storm was about to fall in the early hours of the morning.
