At the same time.
E Province.
Jiangcheng.
In an open park.
Liu Qing slapped his face hard. It was summer and there were many mosquitoes in the park.
It wasn't convenient for him to find a hotel and he didn't want to expose his whereabouts.
He had been sleeping in the park for the past few days and his body was covered in mosquito bites.
Liu Qing was a little annoyed. When would Li Dong come?
These few days, Jiangcheng seemed to be more guarded than before. Liu Qing even vaguely sensed that someone was looking for him.
It wasn't the police but more like a third party.
He was in this line of work and had a very sensitive sense of smell. He glanced from afar and hurriedly hid.
Liu Qing was a little anxious. He had stayed in Jiangcheng for too long.
If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave.
He wasn't afraid of death but if he didn't see Li Dong before he died, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
At this moment, an old homeless man beside him said with a thick accent, "Kid, you're still young. It's better to find a job than to beg. I'm old and no one wants me to work. When I was young, I even broke my leg and can't do hard work. You're young and strong. It's better to find a job at a construction site than to feed the mosquitoes here. "
Liu Qing glared at him and didn't say a word. Since when did he have to be lectured by a homeless man?
However, he couldn't be bothered to reply. In his eyes, this homeless man wasn't from the same world as him.
In the first half of his life, he had suffered and enjoyed. He had killed people and set fires. He had enjoyed what he could and vented what he could.
At this moment, his only goal was to die with a bang.
If he dragged the richest man to die with him, even his death would be more carefree than others.
What did this homeless man know? How could he understand his ambitions!
Liu Qing didn't want to talk to the old man and the old man didn't mind.
In this park, he was a resident and Liu Qing was an outsider.
Usually, not many people came here at night. He was too lonely and wanted to find someone to talk to.
Liu Qing did not speak. The old man continued, "Child, you are from Sichuan, right?"
Liu Qing narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
The old man chuckled and said, "Are you afraid of losing face for your fellow countrymen? That's right, when people ask me where I'm from, I won't tell them I'm from Sichuan. "
Liu Qing remained silent.
The old man continued, "As for me, I don't have the face to return to my hometown in this lifetime. I've been out for 20 years. My family probably thinks I'm dead.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go home, but he really didn't have the face to go back.
When I left home, I bragged loudly and made a bet in front of the entire village that I would be a city dweller for the rest of my life.
He settled down in the city and brought his wife and children to the city.
Everyone in the village laughed at me, thinking that I was boasting.
Oh, in the end, they really guessed it. "
The old man chuckled. "Actually, it's not like I didn't have the chance to become a city dweller back then.
Unfortunately, the boss was too black-hearted. When I was working, I broke my leg. The boss threw me to the hospital and ran away.
Without money, who could save me?
In the end, I became a cripple. The hospital even said that I would have to amputate it. I would have to recuperate and spend a lot of money. I probably wouldn't be able to do heavy labor for the rest of my life.
There was no other way. I couldn't die, and I would be a burden to my family if I lived.
In for a penny, in for a pound. I decided not to go back and let my family think that I was dead.
Fortunately, I didn't have my leg amputated and survived. It's just that my leg was completely crippled.
Now that I think about it, I have a few children at home. The older ones are already 30, and the younger ones are 25.
I wonder if the child's mother has remarried?
Marriage and children can't be done without money.
Children nowadays not only have to get married and have children, but they also have to buy a house and a car in the city. How much money does that cost?
If I could still work, I would have to earn a house for the child no matter what. It's a pity. "
Liu Qing didn't plan to speak at first, but when he heard him say that, he couldn't help but say, "You've been begging for so many years. Didn't you save money? I know that in your line of work, some people have been begging for decades, and they've even built villas. "
The old man originally thought that he wouldn't say anything, but when he heard him speak, he immediately became interested. He chuckled and said, "What you said is professional, and some people even half-forced me. I'm a thin-skinned person, and I can't do such a thing. All these years, I've only been able to get by with enough food and clothing. As for money, I do have some, a few thousand … "
Seeing that Liu Qing was looking at him, the old man thought that he had some crooked thoughts. He hurriedly said, "If I dare to say that, it means that I have no money now. Not long ago, there was an earthquake in my hometown, and I donated all my money. "
As he spoke, the old man even flipped through his clothes and the bag in his hand to prove that he really had no money.
Liu Qing glared at him. Old man, do I still covet that little bit of money of yours?
However, when he heard that he had donated the money, Liu Qing still didn't believe it. "You really donated it?"
"I really donated it."
"Idiot!"
Liu Qing cursed and said disdainfully, "It's no wonder you've been a beggar all your life. You're out of your mind! You're a beggar, yet you donated money to others … "
"How can that be the same? I've seen it on television. It's tragic! At least I can still make a living. Those people don't even have a chance to eat even if they want to. Anyway, I can't use it, and I don't know who will benefit from it if I die. So be it if I donate it. "
"Idiot!"
The old man harrumphed. "Kid, you're inhumane."
"Who are you talking about!?" Liu Qing glared and said fiercely, "Old man, who's inhumane!? If you talk nonsense again, I'll break your other leg too! "
The old man was shocked. He had seen many people in his life.
There were good people and bad people. Even a beggar like him had people collecting protection fees.
The young man in front of him looked gentle, but when he was angry, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill.
The old man had been in society for many years and knew at a glance that he was not to be trifled with. He immediately said in embarrassment, "I'm just joking. You can have this chair tonight. I'll sleep somewhere else."
With that said, the old man looked at his bulging waist and wanted to remind him not to let it be taken away at night.
But after thinking about it, the old man still did not say a word.
This guy, if he lost his things in the end and came looking for trouble with me, it would not be worth it.
When the old man dragged his lame leg far away, Liu Qing also folded his arms in a daze.
I'm inhumane?
I'm indeed inhumane!
But I'm living a comfortable life, living happily, repaying kindness and enmity!
If not for that bastard Li Dong, I'd still be hugging a beauty and sleeping.
Li Dong liked to do charity, but so what? I'll still send him to hell.
…
Capital.
Back at the hotel, Tan Yong said tiredly, "We haven't found General Manager Li yet."
"What about the police?"
"The police said that they roughly determined that Liu Qing is in an area. He shouldn't have left the southwest area."
"Southwest?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Are they sure?"
Tan Yong was a little troubled. "This is just a guess because Liu Qing's anti-reconnaissance awareness is very strong. It's hard to say whether he left the southwest or not. But one thing is for sure. He shouldn't have run far. Otherwise, there will be some clues left behind. "
"That's hard to say. What if someone didn't put in the effort? What if someone deliberately let him go? "
"How …"
Tan Yong was just about to say that it was impossible, but he quickly realized that he seemed to be too arbitrary.
Why not?
Tang Long Corporation had been in business for so many years. Did it not have any other foundation?
Liu Tang died too quickly, and many things were not exposed.
Some people did not want Liu Qing to live and wished that he could die immediately.
Some people, on the other hand, hoped that Liu Qing could escape. After all, Liu Qing was a relatively important chess piece. He might even know some information that no one else knew.
Thinking of this, Tan Yong broke out in cold sweat and said, "Did General Manager Li really come to Beijing?"
"That's not possible. I don't think he will go to Beijing or Shanghai. It's too dangerous.
Especially in Beijing. It's the Olympics now, and security is tight. He doesn't dare to come.
I'm guessing that he must be waiting for me somewhere along the route that I'm patrolling.
According to the original plan, we will first investigate East China, then Central China, then North China, and finally Southwest China.
He might not dare to stay in Southwest China.
He doesn't dare to come to North China.
It's possible to go to Central China and East China.
Which of these regions are places that I must go to? "
Tan Yong blurted out, "All the major provincial capitals."
Li Dong nodded and said, "That's right. I usually go to the major provincial capitals or the biggest shopping malls in the major provincial capitals.
The places we haven't been to yet are Gan Province, Hubei Province, Henan Province, and Zhejiang Province. We have just started our business in other places, so I might not go. Liu Qing shouldn't be sure either.
But I will probably go to the four provinces above.
However, Zhejiang Province is too far from Sichuan and Sichuan. He might even have to go across Jiangbei. There's no reason for him to go across Jiangbei to Zhejiang Province.
The remaining Henan Province, Gan Province, Hubei Province, and even Jiangbei is a possibility.
Spread out your men in these four areas and investigate the major shopping malls. If I'm not wrong, he should be in one of these four places. "
Tan Yong hurriedly nodded and said, "If we find him, should we …"
Li Dong narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's too scary for such a dangerous criminal to carry a gun. Don't the local police want a chance to render meritorious service? But the criminal is stubbornly resisting and retaliating with guns. What do you think we, the people's guardians, should do? "
Tan Yong said sinisterly, "Stubbornly resisting, retaliate, and kill him on the spot!"
"Isn't that right?"
Li Dong twisted his neck, and after a while, he said, "Before the 8th, we must investigate and find out. If you can't do it, I'll have to use public channels. "
"We will complete the mission!"
Tan Yong stood in a military stance, looking like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Li Dong smiled and did not say anything, but he was not sure if they could complete the mission.
There were too few people in the security company, and even fewer people that could be used.
If they expanded the scope, could they find Liu Qing like a needle in a haystack?
As for the police, Li Dong did not have any hope, and did not dare to have any hope.
If they could not find him before leaving Beijing, Li Dong was prepared to use his trump card.
As the largest media platform in the country and the second largest owner of social media, they had the confidence to find someone.
Just publish it on Weibo, and a pop-up window would pop up. This was power.
Of course, many people did not dare to say anything for fear of retaliation.
But as long as the benefits were in place, Li Dong believed that everyone would be tempted.
The reason why Li Dong did not use it now was because he wanted to solve this problem in secret.
Otherwise, if a company published this kind of news, it would be discrediting the police.
Or he could reach an agreement with the police. Far away could help to find Liu Qing. This might be a way out.
Thinking of this, Li Dong knocked on the table. This method was really feasible.
Help to find lost children, help to find escaped fugitives, and cooperate with the police. It might even become a model company.
Coincidentally, he was in Beijing now. He could go to the Ministry of Public Security to discuss the cooperation.
Li Dong felt that the possibility of them rejecting him was not high.
Or he could use Liu Qing as a pilot. No one would be surprised if Li Dong wanted to find Liu Qing, and he did not need to hide it.
Finding Liu Qing would also let the police see the power of the internet.
If they worked together again in the future, it would be beneficial to Far away.
…
August 5th.
It was Li Dong's fourth day in Beijing.
The Olympics was approaching, and the whole of Beijing was filled with joy and celebration.
There were more and more foreigners on the streets.
This time, Li Dong did not visit Du Anmin.
Du Anmin was busier than anyone else. He did not even see Shen Qian a few times, let alone Li Dong.
Du Anmin was too busy, and Shen Xuehua was running around the country. Li Dong did not need to visit the Du Family.
He wanted to visit Yang Yun, but Qin Yuhan said that Yang Yun had gone to Shanghai to meet her. Li Dong gave up the idea of going to the dessert house.
He did not need to check the supermarket, and he had checked the land. He also took some time to go to the storage center …
Now that he had come to the capital, his mission had actually been completed.
According to the original plan, he should not have stayed in Beijing, and he would not have gone to the Olympics.
But now, Li Dong had no other choice. As long as Liu Qing was not found, he would not be able to leave. No one was willing to disregard their own lives.
As for the cooperation between the police and the people, Li Dong had sent someone to negotiate. He did not need to do it himself.
It would take some time for the negotiations to be completed.
Li Dong thought for a while and decided to leave after the opening ceremony.
At that time, if Tan Yong and the others still hadn't discovered him, Li Dong would use the power of social media to find Liu Qing. In any case, Li Dong had made up his mind to find Liu Qing and kill him cleanly.
There was nothing to do in Beijing. Li Dong thought about it and decided to go to Zhongguancun.
Baidu's headquarters had not moved yet. It was still in Zhongguancun's Ideal Building.
On the other hand, Da Qiangzi was not rich yet. He had not even opened the Beichen Century Center, let alone the headquarters of Jingdong. It was still in the old building in Zhongguancun.
Li Dong was passing by Beijing and did not want to go and take a look.
But he had nothing to do now, and he might as well go and take a look. One was his business partner, and the other was the company that challenged Taobao in his previous life.
Feng Yu could learn from these two companies.
In Feng Yu's previous life, not many people had heard of Jingdong before 2008. But later on, Da Qiangzi had challenged Taobao. Da Qiangzi was quite capable.
Li Dong felt Taobao was preparing for a big move, and he wanted to talk to Da Qiangzi.
