Chapter 254: The Price of Victory
January 16, 2012, the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, the new year.
The Spring Festival is approaching again, and the interest of the Chinese people in the New Year has not been affected by the so-called apocalyptic rumors, and the streets and alleys have long been filled with red celebrations.
But some people are immune to the pleasant flavor of the New Year, sitting alone in the deserted world they have created, and it can even be said that he has become accustomed to the repetition of many years. Since the death of his partner, he has liked this lonely environment, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of security, even if it is a distorted sense of security.
Slightly different from previous years, this time is completely alone, and there is no longer another person, or two other people, around him. In addition to safety, it makes people feel a little lonely.
It took a lot of effort, the right time, the right people, and a little luck to climb to the position he dreamed of, but an empty and boring thing spread in his heart like a virus, ruthlessly devouring the joy of having his long-cherished wish fulfilled but not yet savored.
The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows in front of him reflect a faint human figure, making it possible to barely distinguish from the brilliant lights outside. The man sitting on the Taishi's chair finally moved his fingers, tilted the teacup in his hand on the tea tray slowly, and let the precious but already cold Ming Qian Longjing flow, and then disappeared in the subtle whirlpool of the water outlet.
When you can drink this tea, there will only be one person left.
A month ago, even he couldn't believe that his fate, which had come to the edge of the cliff, would make a gorgeous tail flick and let him die and be reborn.
Everyone knows the strength of the opponent, and no one will be optimistic about him at that time, but this man just relied on the courage to gamble and the analysis of the opponent's three points, and turned the painstaking management for many years into an incredible reality now.
Cangyuan Mansion stands proudly on the edge of Yunding Lake, and she and everything behind her have changed masters. A seemingly nonexistent green light flashed, and Lin Cangxi already had an additional object on his hand, which was a flaming-like jade, shining on the base of the ring made of white gold, which was breathtaking.
The bloody battle of life and death in Yuzhuang was only the beginning of the turmoil of the Qingyan Society, Yu Zhengping, the Dinghai God Needle, fell, Chen Qi who relied on force to deter the Plenum disappeared, and even Lu Yue, who can be called the Gestapo, was also unknown in his life, so that all forces in the organization wanted to get a piece of the pie or even set up their own doors. Although Lin Cangxi's wealth can surpass any of them, the tradition of seniority in the gang is still there, and it still takes a lot of time and energy for him to completely subdue those ambitious people and the loyal remnants of the old leaders.
Fortunately, the huge network of relationships that have been painstakingly woven over the years has played a role at this time, and Ji Mingzhou, who is in real power, and Deng Jinsheng, who has seen the wind and steer, cautiously expressed their support for Lin Cangxi after determining the winner. Even if the two big Buddhas didn't take action in person, the sense of oppression generated by their statements was enough to frighten a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were about to move. Similarly, the superiors at the provincial and municipal levels who were co-opted by Lin Cangxi also played their role as "county officials are not as good as current management" at this time.
Of course, none of these so-called supporters can change the essence of vampires, only Lin Cangxi himself knows how much it cost him to achieve this victory.
To be able to turn the tables in one fell swoop when Chen Qi had the upper hand, in addition to mastering the biggest weaknesses in his heart, Shen Rumei and Chen Xinyi, it is essential to have the force that surpasses Qingfeng. However, it is impossible for Lin Cangxi to pull up a good Praetorian Guard in a short period of time, and it took a lot of effort for him to cultivate his son Lin Wenfeng, a top master, so borrowing the power of the state's violent organs is the only way out, and the biggest hero here is none other than Zhang Longsheng.
As the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, in this era when the status of public security was infinitely elevated by the Central Political and Legal Commission, Zhang Longsheng could cover the sky almost in the entire X City, and if he wanted to let the police and armed police go out, he had to nod his head. However, if you want to ask Director Zhang to help, you still have to deal with Yu Zhengping and Chen Qi, who have always had a good relationship with him secretly, and that is not something that can be exchanged for money alone.
Being able to climb to the position of director of the public security bureau of the Special Administrative Region, Zhang Longsheng's pursuit of money is far less important than power. However, the latest Standing Committee has been over for several months, and because he is at a disadvantage in the collision between various forces in the province, his dream of going further to the provincial public security department has come to naught.
Under the mediation of Lin Cangxi, Huang Yunxin, who is not outstanding in ability and has a problematic reputation, was appointed as the new county magistrate of Jiu'an County, which shows the influence of the CEO of Cangyuan Group among provincial and ministerial-level senior officials, and this is what Yu Zhengping, who has retreated to the second line early, and Chen Qi, who is more involved in the underworld, lack. Seeing that the director of the provincial public security department is very popular with the central government, seizing the vacant position left by his ascension as soon as possible is Zhang Longsheng's biggest goal in the future. At this time, the leadership opinions of the Ministry of Public Security # are particularly important, such as Ji Mingzhou, the deputy minister who has a close relationship with the Cangyuan Group.
After such a circle, Lin Cangxi actually holds a lot of elements that Zhang Longsheng covets, but because of his old friendship with Yu Zhengping and Chen Qi, he is embarrassed to blatantly get too close to the opponents of the two. Otherwise, once he annoys the two gangsters, Zhang Longsheng will definitely encounter endless troubles in his future work in X City, as long as he makes a few mistakes, don't think about promotion.
At this time, the civil strife in the Qingyan Society was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Director Zhang, no matter who the final winner was, he would be able to reap the benefits steadily. If Lin Cangxi turns the tables in one fell swoop, he can use his complex network of connections to increase his bargaining chips for himself to move to the provincial and ministerial level or even higher; if he retreats, if Yu Zhengping or Chen Qi succeeds in quelling the rebellion, the public security system under his command can also sell the other party a huge favor, thus increasing the possibility of seeking greater benefits in the city in the future.
Lin Cangxi saw through this, and after doing his best, he exchanged ambiguous support from Zhang Longsheng, laying a solid foundation for himself to pull teeth from Chen Qi. Now that the overall situation has been decided, what he has to do is to hurry up and continue to play the cards in his hand, fulfill the promises he threw to Zhang Longsheng one by one, and worship this "food, clothing, and parents official". Of course, people are not the main force in the pursuit of money, it does not mean that there is no need to use money to satisfy others, at this time Lin Cangxi conceived another thing, is to send the big cake that has been prepared to the table.
After thinking for a long time, the new leader of the Qingyan Society finally pressed the call button on his mobile phone, and soon with a rhythmic knock on the door, a tall and cold young man walked into the chairman's room.
"Ah Feng, how are the few things you asked to do?"
"The number of cars has been set, a total of 273, and it will be slowly entered in three batches. Lin Wenfeng, who was dressed in a straight suit, stood at a distance of about two meters behind his father and replied loudly. His face was less evil and unruly than before, but it was a little more cold and even cold-blooded.
Lin Cangxi turned around slowly and continued unhurriedly: "Very good, you know what to do with the follow-up tasks, and I will let them arrange them on the public security side, and they must do things clean enough!
After moving his fingers covertly, Lin Wenfeng said expressionlessly: "Ah Ping's side has been dealt with, and he is a shady character, and the public security will not investigate it, anyway, the symptoms are no different from drug overdose." Liu Bo was hit by our men in Mong Kok in Hong Kong a few days ago, and it is reported that he was shot three times, and he will not be able to become a big climate if he does not die. The guy who was sent to seduce Yu Xiaohuan is still closed, it seems that he is just an ordinary singer in a bar, and he can't ask anything......"
"It seems that the rest are all hard bones, except for Luo Bin, none of them will surrender willingly. Talking to himself, Lin Cangxi narrowed his eyes and hid his eyes, and it took a long time before he said, "What about the two most important big fish?
Lin Wenfeng clenched his fists suddenly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Failed to block Lu Yue in Taiping Port, leaving a big hidden danger." The people below basically used all their strength, and they could only be sure that he led some remnants of Qing Xuan to hide in Burma, and now it seems that it is also the best place for Chen Qi to go. It's a pity that the general's sphere of influence is not accessible to us for the time being, giving them a chance to live. ”
"This is very interesting, Liu Bo tried his best to help Chen Qi escape, but he just wanted to turn around and hide in HK, do you think they want to win over some former opponents to mess with us?" Lin Cangxi moved his left hand with the Qingyan ring thoughtfully, and took out a cigar and lit it by the way.
"I think...... Not at the moment. Lin Wenfeng pondered for a while and then replied, "The current Chen Qi is no different from the lost dog, it is not easy to escape our pursuit, and he also knows that it is the most dangerous to appear rashly at this time." A month is too short to be safe enough to hide. Besides, the guys in HK have long had a problem with Chen Qi because of the problem of the general's supply, and if he himself does not come forward to sue for peace, who will agree to help them? Therefore, I think that Chen Qi asked Liu Bo to go to HK, most likely because he wanted to get some things, whether it was the arms and money he had in store, or something else. ”
Lin Cangxi nodded appreciatively, and the calm expression on his face did not change at all: "Ah Feng has really grown a lot, and it seems that he is still the most trained person in actual combat! Now that Chen Qi's hidden danger is not eliminated one day, we will always firmly control his lifeline in our hands, and this task will continue to be handed over to you to do." Our Cangyuan's image endorsement should be coming back from the Demon Capital soon, right?"
For the first time, the grim young man's face fluctuated unnaturally, and it was clear that he had thought of what he was about to do.
