Chapter Seventy-Seven: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
When Li Jingwei took the elevator up to the floor where his room was located, he found that Huzi was actually waiting in front of his door.
"Brother Tiger, are you looking for me?" Li Jingwei stepped forward to greet him. After getting along in the past few days, the two have become acquainted with each other.
"Mr. Li, my master wants to discuss something with you, which is related to the safety of the young lady, and I hope you can move. Huzi stepped forward and said politely to Li Jingwei.
Huzi is much older than Li Jingwei, and Li Jingwei can let him call himself 'Jingwei'. However, Huzi was always reluctant to change his words, and kept calling him 'Mr. Li'. Li Jingwei was helpless, so he could only call him so.
In Huzi's concept, he has always believed that 'learning is no size, and those who reach it are respected'. Li Jingwei's cultivation is much higher than him, so Huzi insists on calling Li Jingwei 'Mr. Li'.
Hearing Huzi say that the matter was related to Wei Rulan's safety, Li Jingwei naturally did not shirk and said, "Okay, then let's go over." ”
The room where Fan Canghai lived was next door to Wei Rulan's room. This was also deliberately arranged to protect Wei Rulan's safety.
After entering with Huzi, Li Jingwei found that Wei Rulan was also sitting in the room.
Seeing Li Jingwei, Wei Rulan lowered her head a little shyly, and didn't stand up to say hello as before.
Wei Rulan's performance made Fan Canghai feel a little strange, and said in his heart: "Is there a conflict between the two?" However, he didn't think much about it.
"Hello old man!" Li Jingwei first greeted Fan Canghai, and then said to Wei Rulan: "Rulan, you haven't rested either." ”
Li Jingwei suddenly felt a little weak at this time. This kind of scene made him feel that it was probably an excuse for Old Man Fan to talk about things by himself, and he was actually asking himself for revenge.
Wei Rulan let out an inaudible 'um', which further aggravated Li Jingwei's speculation. is the so-called "being a thief with a weak heart". Li Jingwei became a 'heart thief', and he had a male and female affair with Wei Rulan, and it was inevitable that he would be suspicious.
Thinking of Wei Rulan's shy bow just now, Li Jingwei felt that she was afraid that she had told Fan Canghai what had just happened between the two, so the old man now wanted to ask the teacher for the crime.
"Old man, what are you looking for me?" Li Jingwei asked tentatively. When he said these words, Li Jingwei's expression was a little unnatural.
However, Fan Canghai didn't care about these details, and said straight to the point: "Jingwei, I called you here because there is one thing I hope you can help." ”
When Li Jingwei heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not Xingshi's questioning, it's easy to say anything else.
This is also because Li Jingwei was a little flustered when he saw Wei Rulan here, and he forgot for a while that Huzi had told him before that Fan Canghai wanted to discuss something with him about Wei Rulan's safety.
"Old man, please speak!" Li Jingwei said, secretly glancing at Wei Rulan.
Wei Rulan was calm at this time, without the shyness just now, her eyes and nose and nose looked at her heart, and she sat there calmly.
Fan Canghai groaned for a moment and said:
"That's the case, Lan Lan was targeted after she just arrived in the United States this time. Two days ago, Huzi caught a guy nicknamed 'Little Bird' who was in charge of stalking, but this little bird didn't know who was behind the scenes, and why he wanted to find out Lan Lan's whereabouts. However, Xiaoniao later agreed to cooperate with Huzi to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"I know that now that you have solved the problem of chip research and development, Lan Lan will return to Huaxia in the next two days. However, this is a hidden danger after all, and if it cannot be eliminated, it is always possible to threaten Lan Lan's safety, just like the kidnapping in Wushi before. ”
"Therefore, I want to take the opportunity of the cooperation of the birds this time to set up a bureau to see if I can find some clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, or the purpose of the other party for letting people keep an eye on Lan Lan's whereabouts, so that I can better deal with it in the future, at least I can know who is playing tricks behind it. ”
After listening to Fan Canghai's introduction, Li Jingwei knew that he already had a plan, so he followed his words and asked, "Old man, are you planning?"
"I want to let out the wind through this stalking guy, and say that Lan Lan is going to return to Huaxia the day after tomorrow and go to Long Island for sightseeing tomorrow. There are many forests on Long Island, so when the time comes, you and Lan Lan pretend to go on an adventure in the forest to see if you will lure them out. ”
Fan Canghai obviously wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and let the mastermind behind the scenes take the initiative to show up.
"In addition, the two of us have changed rooms for the past two days. Your cultivation is above me, which will help protect Lan Lan's safety even more, and will also better prevent the other party from sneaking over at night to carry out a surprise attack. ”
In the past few days, the surface has been calm, but in fact, Fan Canghai and Huzi have been quite nervous, always on guard against possible dangers. If it weren't for Li Jingwei being by Wei Rulan's side all the time, Fan Canghai might have followed Wei Rulan by himself or let Huzi follow Wei Rulan at any time.
After experiencing the kidnapping case in Wushi, Fan Canghai was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope. After discovering that someone had inquired about Wei Rulan's whereabouts, her nerves had been in a state of high tension.
Li Jingwei was by Wei Rulan's side, which greatly reduced the pressure on Fan Canghai and Huzi, and also allowed Huzi to take time out to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.
It's just that because the little bird knows very little, and the place is not familiar, Huzi's investigation has not gained anything.
Li Jingwei originally planned to return to Old Man Tang Jifeng today, but he was delayed because he went out to eat and celebrate, but later he had an incident with Wei Rulan in the car.
Now after listening to Fan Canghai's plan, he knew that he hoped that he would continue to stay here for the next two days to protect Wei Rulan's safety.
"Okay. Li Jingwei directly agreed, it was a matter of Wei Rulan's safety, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless.
"Old man, according to your understanding, what is the strength of the other party? If there are only three of us, Brother Hu, I don't know if we can deal with the other party's attack and protect Rulan's safety at the same time?" Li Jingwei then asked.
From Fan Canghai's introduction just now, there was no description of the other party's strength, including how many people there were, how to cultivate, and so on. Therefore, Li Jingwei asked this question. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles.
"The question you are asking is exactly what we are facing. Fan Canghai said helplessly: "Huzi has been investigating in many ways in the past few days, but as of now, I haven't learned anything about the other party. ”
"On the Huaxia side, we have also carried out an investigation, and although we have caught the person who delivered the information, there has been no progress on the information about the mastermind behind the scenes. The person in charge of delivering the news in China is a friend of Little Bird, a guy nicknamed 'Rabbit'. Now, the rabbit has agreed to cooperate with us. ”
Li Jingwei knew that the little bird and the rabbit agreed to cooperate with the action, so it must be that Fan Canghai's subordinates took some coercion and temptation methods. However, it is inevitable that the two will take some measures to cooperate.
Li Jingwei is not the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals, so he never forces others to do things for him. However, he is by no means a pedantic person, and he knows that extraordinary things must be done in extraordinary times. Therefore, I am not disgusted by Fan Canghai and Huzi's approach.
"Old man, I have some friends in New York, why don't I ask them to come over and help. Li Jingwei asked tentatively.
Since he didn't know the enemy's situation, Li Jingwei wanted to ask Tang Jifeng and others for help, and it was always safer to have more manpower.
"No need, I have already invited Tong Sihai from Hongmen, and he promised to come over tomorrow to help. Fan Canghai said.
In fact, in addition to Huzi investigating, Fan Canghai also entrusted Hongmen to help conduct an investigation in the past two days, but nothing was found. This also shows that the actions taken by the other party must be extremely cautious.
In addition, Fan Canghai also deduced from this that even if the other party takes action, there may not be too many people involved, but they may all be good hands. The fewer people there are, the less likely they are to be spotted. If there are too many people, maybe Hongmen or Huzi have already discovered each other's traces.
Since the other party is likely to have few people coming, in this case, you have to find a helper on your side, and you have to find a master. Therefore, Fan Canghai only invited Tong Sihai and did not let ordinary Hongmen disciples participate.
"Well, I also know Old Man Tong. After he came, there was basically no problem on our side. Li Jingwei originally wanted to ask Old Man Tang Jifeng to make a move, but now that Tong Sihai agreed to come, naturally there is no need to trouble Old Man Tang anymore.
In fact, Li Jingwei knew that it was a little inappropriate to invite Tang Jifeng to participate, after all, Tang Jifeng was an important force of the Xuanyuan Dragon League in New York, and his identity could not be easily revealed. With Fan Canghai's shrewd accident, if Tang Fengfeng came over, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not find out something.
"Do you know Tong Sihai too?" Fan Canghai said in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Jingwei also knew people of the older generation like Tong Sihai.
"I also met through a senior not long ago. Then let's do what you just planned, old man!"
Li Jingwei felt that Fan Canghai's plan was still feasible, and he didn't have a better way for a while, so he agreed to act according to Fan Canghai's plan.
Li Jingwei did not say in detail about Tang Jifeng, as a member of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, the fewer people who knew Tang Jifeng's identity, the better. Since he didn't plan to invite Tang Hurfeng to come over to help him, there was naturally no need to explain too much.
After several people agreed on the plan, Huzi helped change the rooms of Li Jingwei and Fan Canghai.
Wei Rulan personally helped Li Jingwei tidy up the room before going back to her room to rest.
In a hotel not far from the Holiday Inn, Dong Changfeng lay on his bed and pondered, and during the day he visited Cheng Zongquan, the head of Hongmen's New York area, to learn some details about the deaths of the four Dong Xu.
But the results were not ideal. Cheng Zongquan told him that not only was the New York Police Department tightly controlled, but also the shadow of the S.H.I.E.L.D. behind it. A secret line of Hongmen in the S.H.I.E.L.D. secret agent clearly told Cheng Zongquan that Hongmen could not touch this matter.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. is struggling to have no clue, and whoever inquires about this matter at this time will become the object of suspicion of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency.
Cheng Zongquan did not hide it in the slightest, and told Dong Changfeng the situation truthfully.
The information fed back from Cheng Zongquan made Dong Changfeng feel more and more that the matter in which Dong Xuan and others participated was not simple, otherwise the US power department would not have paid so much attention to it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Dong Changfeng didn't have the slightest clue.
Just then, his phone rang suddenly. After connecting, Dong Changfeng didn't speak, and hung up the phone directly after listening to the other party.
"It looks like we have to act soon. Dong Changfeng groaned and picked up the phone placed on the bedside.
"Alexandria, you call a few of them and come to my room. The situation has changed, and we need to urgently negotiate a course of action. ”
Dong Lishan on the other end of the phone agreed, and then asked, "Elder, do you want to call Xiaowan?"
"No need. After Dong Changfeng finished speaking, he put down the phone.
Not long after, Dong Lishan and several people came to Dong Changfeng's room.
