"What the heck!" Hearing Ling Xiaoyi's words, Hong Dali was instantly depressed. He shouted, "Where is it? You can't tell me?!"
"No, no." Ling Xiaoyi anxiously said, "Today is Young Master's coming of age ceremony. Old Master has already sent out the invitations, and the venue is ready. I … I'm fine here. It's not a big deal. I'll ask for Young Master's help tomorrow." After saying that, she actually hung up the phone!
Hong Dali: "…"
What the heck, she can't do that. Hong Dali angrily stomped his feet and shouted, "She really doesn't treat me as a prodigal anymore?! Am I that unreliable?! She didn't even tell me when something happened. Where am I supposed to put my face?! "
Tang Muxin violently nodded. "That's right, that's right. It's fine if she's always laughing and joking. But if she doesn't do anything when something happens to her underling, she's not a qualified prodigal. She'll be looked down upon!"
"Uncle Wang." Hong Dali said to the driver, Wang Mingyu, "Check the location of Xiaoyi's phone. I don't believe what happened to make her so depressed. From Xiaoyi's tone, it's definitely not a small matter!"
"Yes, Young Master." Wang Mingyu instantly took out his phone and dialed a number. The call quickly connected. Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "Chief Zhang, how have you been recently?"
On the other end of the line, Chief Zhang laughed heartily and replied, "It's alright. Driver Wang, why did you call me today? If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know. I'll definitely help you if I can. "
Wang Mingyu laughed and said, "Chief Wang, it's not me. It's my Young Master Dali." Saying so, he passed the phone to Hong Dali.
"Young Master Dali?" The Deputy Chief of the police station, Zhang Haiyang, mumbled. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Young Master Dali, the Young Master you're talking about, is he …"
"It's Uncle Zhang." Hong Dali laughed and said, "I'm Hong Dali."
On the other end of the line, Zhang Haiyang only heard this voice and hurriedly and carefully said, "It's alright, it's alright! Young Master Dali, I didn't expect you to be the one looking for me. What can I do for you? " The Hong Family that Hong Dali belonged to was at the top of the business and political world. After all, they were the descendants of the founding fathers of the country. Although they might not be able to do anything, at least they could order Zhang Haiyang, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, around.
Hong Dali thought for a while and slowly said, "It's like this, Uncle Zhang. I have a very capable manager called Ling Xiaoyi. Something happened to her family, but she didn't tell me what happened. Uncle Zhang, can you help me check the current location of her phone? "
This was not a big request. It was just checking the location of the phone number. Zhang Haiyang naturally couldn't refuse. He quickly said, "Sure, no problem. Let me arrange it. Ten minutes!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, hehe." Hong Dali grinned and hung up the phone.
At this time, the driver, Wang Mingyu, turned his head and asked, "Young Master, there are only three hours left before the coming of age ceremony. Why don't we go back and prepare?"
"There's no rush." Hong Dali sniffled. "I'm not in the mood if I don't get any news from Xiaoyi. After all, she has been with me for so long. She's quite a good person. I can't just leave her in the lurch, right?"
"That's true." Hong Dali's benevolence warmed Wang Mingyu's heart.
After all, no one would wish for the person they served to be a heartless ingrate.
Soon, the phone rang. After Hong Dali picked it up, Zhang Haiyang's voice sounded. "Young Master Dali, I've found it. The last location of Miss Ling Xiaoyi's phone number is … is …"
"Where?" Hong Dali said. "Just say it, don't keep me in suspense."
"It's Tianjing West City Prison." Zhang Haiyang paused for a while and said, "I found it strange that Miss Ling Xiaoyi actually appeared there. So, I asked around and found out that her brother was in prison."
Ling Xiaoyi's brother was in prison?!
Hong Dali instantly felt strange and said, "That can't be! I've heard of her brother before. He's 19 years old this year, studying in the affiliated high school of Tianjing Normal University. He's in the third year, class 14. His grades are quite good. How could he possibly be in prison? Got into a fight? Beat someone up?! This doesn't make sense! "
"No … No …" Zhang Haiyang was also very depressed. "If it's a small matter like a fight, I'll let him out after informing the other side. The problem is that he's in prison for something else. I don't dare to let him out so easily. "
"Could it be that he killed someone?!" Hong Dali was really stunned this time. "A human life?!" Then, he shouted into the phone, "Uncle Zhang, hurry up and tell me, you'll make me anxious to death!"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. But first, Young Master Dali, don't be agitated." Zhang Haiyang swallowed his saliva. "Miss Ling Xiaoyi's brother is called Ling Mufeng. The reason he's in prison is because … because he ate 'Blue Fantasy' and was forcibly caught."
"Blue Fantasy?" Hong Dali curiously asked, "What's that? Don't tell me it's one of those magical little pills? "
Zhang Haiyang's voice sounded. "It's one of those magical little pills, and the aftereffects are very strong. So … I don't dare to let him out easily. If he can't withstand it, it'll be a huge problem. "
"What the heck!" Hong Dali forcefully threw the phone on the floor. "Is there something wrong with this Ling Mufeng's brain? Why did he go and eat that?! Uncle Wang, let's go to Tianjing West City Prison. I want to see why such an outstanding person would go and eat that! " Luckily, the quality of this limited edition phone that cost 125,000 yuan was quite good. Zhang Haiyang's voice was still very clear. "Young Master Dali, don't be agitated, Young Master Dali …"
Tang Muxin heard the whole story and was extremely angry. "Sister Xiaoyi is such a good person, why is her brother so useless!"
Luckily, Wang Mingyu was experienced. As he started the car, he said, "Young Master, I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems."
"I know." Hong Dali nodded. "It's understandable for an outstanding student to impulsively go and fight occasionally. But to actually go and eat drugs, this is definitely not normal. Xinxin, what do you think? "
"This matter is very strange," Tang Muxin said. Tang Muxin said, "Dali, don't you feel that the timing of this incident is too coincidental?"
"Yes, it's my coming of age ceremony." Hong Dali nodded. "Logically speaking, if he were to eat this pill, he should have eaten it a few times already. It's impossible for him to be caught right after eating it, right? He must have been targeted or caught for some special reason. "
"Yes, that's what I suspect." As long as it was not related to squandering, Tang Muxin's brain was always very sharp. "Dali, think about it. If Sister Xiaoyi's brother, Ling Mufeng, was lured for some reason and ate that Blue Fantasy a few times before being caught, it shouldn't have happened so coincidentally today, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's right." Hong Dali touched his chin. "If that's the case, the news of this fellow eating the pill should have been released today on purpose so that Xiaoyi could restrain me. But I'm very curious. " Hong Dali felt strange and said, "It's just a coming of age ceremony. It's not something important. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?"
"Actually, that's not the case." Tang Muxin thought for a while and said, "Think about it. Uncle Hong made such a big fuss and even sent a cruise ship over. If you don't show up, he will definitely be embarrassed. If the guests become impatient again, Uncle Hong will inevitably make some mistakes. You are the main character today. If you don't show up, and things get serious, people will easily think that you are looking down on others. This can be a big or small matter. "
"Yes, that's true. The problem is, who would put in so much effort to trick me? "Hong Dali was a little depressed." How am I supposed to live? I just want to be a prodigal and enjoy myself. I didn't offend anyone or make anyone my enemy … "
Speaking of which, Hong Dali was indeed quite wronged.
He could be said to be doing nothing every day, reading novels and sleeping in class, walking tigers with his lackeys after school, eating and sleeping whenever he wanted, and tipping whenever he was in a good mood. Such a prodigal actually had people thinking about him. There was no justice in this world! How was he supposed to live?!
"If you ask me," Tang Muxin said with certainty, "someone must be afraid and wants to show you who's boss!"
"Afraid? Me? "Hong Dali pointed at himself." Someone is afraid of a prodigal like me? That can't be, right? I'm already very low-key, okay? "
"You're still low-key?!" Tang Muxin pinched him harshly, causing him to grimace in pain. Tang Muxin angrily said, "Who would have thought that the things you squander and burn money to create would be so profitable?"
"I didn't expect it myself." Hong Dali expressed his helplessness and hurt. "Let's not talk about this. Xinxin, who do you think would do such a thing? Internal or external? "
There was no use talking about that now. The most important thing now was naturally to think of a way to find the person who was up to little tricks.
"Sigh, speaking of which, there are quite a few people who would do this." Tang Muxin was also very depressed. "From the start, you naturally offended the real estate companies in the West Fourth Loop. Filming a movie would definitely offend the film companies. There are quite a few people in your family waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. It's possible that Liu Mingcheng is involved. After all, Turkey Bookstore could be said to be in such a miserable state because of you. Also, the last time you cheated the Merikans and Koreans, it's possible that they … "
Hong Dali fiercely rubbed his hair. "I don't have to offend so many people, right …"
"What do you think?" Tang Muxin was also quite worried. "The business world is like a battlefield. If you are allowed to do as you please, who knows how many more things will happen. Turkey Bookstore is the most obvious example. As long as you ask around a little, you will be able to tell. There's a saying that goes, 'When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves'. If Turkey falls, it's inevitable that they won't be the next to fall. You're involved in many fields, such as real estate, film companies, novels, websites, and so on. You even have a few restaurants. How can they be at ease? "
