CHAPTER XXXV
If the flower listens to her wishes, this marriage will not be engaged.
Although the stolen goods were seized, two days later, Bai Qihong still returned home safe and sound.
In this era of black and white, she didn't know what means Bai Qihong used to swagger out of the Chengxi Prison, and leisurely soak in a hot bath at home for more than an hour, smoke a few Saint-Roche French cigars, and taste a glass of Lanfei wine, so she sat in his boss's chair and waited for Cai Bingrong to come to the door to ask for guilt.
However, Bai Qihong is also a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and the investigation of the arms is too strange, it doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems on the surface, Cai Bingrong shouldn't be so stupid that he jumped into the fire pit with himself, so the only beneficiary of this incident is Jian Shijie...... So, how did he find out where the arms were hidden and when they were traded?
In response to this important doubt, Bai Qihong held an emergency meeting in the lobby on the first floor.
"Master Hong, this matter is too strange, I think someone should be sent to investigate to the end," a dog-legged bodyguard manager said to Bai Qihong, who was sitting in the boss's chair, "I didn't find out a clue about the burning of the opium warehouse last time, and this time it is even more outrageous, directly alarming the government commissioner's **** office and the police station, and the team forcibly opened the seal and inspected the goods," Speaking of this, the bodyguard manager secretly observed Bai Qihong's face, paused and said, "According to the rules on the road, unless they get the exact news, Otherwise, the attitude would not have been so tough. β
"What do you mean......" Bai Qihong supported his forehead with one hand, and his eyes fell on Cai Bingrong, who had just entered the hall door.
"There's an inner ghost." The bodyguard manager consciously stepped aside.
Almost everyone arrived, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Chen Shu stood behind Cai Bingrong, his face was calm and relaxed, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he saw the flower in the corner of the second floor.
The two exchanged a look, and Chen Shu hooked her lips and smiled, which made her heart tremble.
His breath, his kisses, the sweet smell of tea in his mouth kept hovering in her mind.
Is this the legend...... The rhythm of the fall?
"I don't like to talk around corners very much," Bai Qihong's eyes flashed, he slowly swept the eyes of everyone present, with a bone-crushing chill in his tone, "The mastermind of this incident had better stand up for me consciously, I will spare your life for the time being, don't wait until you use the gang rules to know that you regret begging for mercy." β
Just listening to the sound is enough to make the flower feel creepy.
Chen Shu stood there motionless, his back straight.
The people present looked at each other, no one dared to stand up, and no one dared to speak.
This reaction made Bai Qihong feel unhappy, and the chill in his voice dropped a few degrees, "The people present have been with me for almost ten years, and I don't want to be too ugly, if any brother has something unspeakable, take this opportunity to say it, maybe there will be room for negotiation." β
Don't look at what he said nicely, in fact, there is a heavy murderous aura between the lines.
Everyone stood with bated breath, their hearts were so tight that they didn't even dare to come out, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be as if they only needed to strike a match, and the air around them would be burning.
"Brother Cai." Bai Qihong suddenly set his eyes on Cai Bingrong.
Everyone's eyes converged on him.
Cai Bingrong was not nervous at all, and looked at Bai Qihong with great confusion in his eyes.
Bai Qihong has always been uncertain, but now he suddenly said in a gentle tone: "I still remember that ten years ago, we smuggled four or five times as much as we do now, from gold, jewelry, steel, and even kerosene, almost all the goods in short supply," he said, shaking the cigarette ash that his fingertips were about to fall, and continued, "At that time, because of the turbulent situation, the government was loose, and the inspection was not strong enough, so we could only turn a blind eye," his keen gaze swept over Chen Shu's face," Now that the risk of smuggling has increased, we have reduced the amount of smuggling, and we have abandoned the railway to water transportation, and the manpower and material resources have been more concentrated, so as to minimize the possibility of accidents, and there should be no problems......
"What the hell does Brother Bai want to say?"
Bai Qihong smiled quietly, "There is no doubt that someone is secretly doing ghosts, and these are the few people who know our inner workings......"
Cai Bingrong was surprised: "Brother Bai means that there is an inner ghost on my side Cai Bingrong?" β
Bai Qihong's eyes moved, and he smiled without saying a word.
"Those present have followed me for seven or eight years," although Cai Bingrong is very popular, he knows that in this case, he should stabilize his feelings, and he must not mess with himself, "Presumably Brother Bai is also an understanding person, if my Cai Bingrong's brother wants to cause trouble, why wait until today?" β
Bai Qihong still didn't answer, his gaze slowly drifted to Chen Shu's face.
After all, suspicion came to him.
Chen Shu stood up straight, his gaze fearless.
How could Cai Bingrong not know his intentions, and sneered at the moment: "Brother Bai, I have a question for you, when did this little agent surnamed Ding next to you start to be used by you?" β
Bai Qihong was stunned, and turned his head to look at Ding Sicheng who was standing beside him.
"I remember that not long after he came, something happened to Brother Bai's warehouse, and now it's okay, it's my turn to be in the arsenal." Cai Bingrong's right eye centipede began to writhe irregularly again, adding a little hideous meaning to this already unfriendly face, "But I have to admit that with the assistance of this little detective, the first few transactions were quite successful, but now that something like this has happened, our Dragon Gang has to be on guard, maybe someone has ulterior motives?" β
Cai Bingrong's words hit back beautifully, leaving Bai Qihong speechless.
Bai Qihong is not a person who values love and righteousness, but now he turns his head to look at Ding Sicheng, who has been proud of the spring breeze in recent days, and the trust index he has accumulated in a few months has dropped, and he has to re-examine him because of Cai Bingrong's words...... It's just that if there is an inner ghost on his side, where will this face go?
Seeing the vacillation in Bai Qihong's eyes, Ding Sicheng consciously stood up and said: "I, Ding Sicheng, dare to swear to the sky, if I do anything to be sorry for Mr. Bai and the entire gang, my Ding Sicheng's rotten life will be at your disposal." β
However, his words were too weak to convince anyone.
Swear, who wouldn't? It's not a matter of mouth.
Ding Sicheng knew that he was at a loss, after all, he was the only one present who had followed Bai Qihong for the shortest time, and it happened that all the things happened after he joined the gang, why did he Ding Sicheng come and things happened one after another? Fools will point the finger at him, right?
The long silence caused a fine layer of cold sweat to break out on Ding Sicheng's forehead.
"How?" Bai Qihong narrowed dangerously.
Cai Bingrong's right eye emitted a sharp cold light with the writhing centipede, and he also wanted to see how this kid surnamed Ding could prove it?
There was a terrible silence in the room.
Before Bai Qihong's patience disappeared, Ding Sicheng quickly pulled out a short-bladed dagger from the leggings of the bodyguard on the side, knelt down on one knee, propped his left hand on the wide desk in front of him, and raised his head and said, "I cut off two fingers to show my loyalty!" As soon as he finished speaking, he had already slashed down like lightning, cutting off the tail finger of his left hand alive, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Hua Ting's eyes widened in horror.
It's not that such a bloody scene has never been seen, but the person concerned has the same face as Ding Yaoyi, and one of her hearts suddenly cramped violently.
Ding Sicheng didn't snort, handed the knife to the bloody left hand with an expressionless face, and put his right hand on the desk, ready to break another one, Bai Qihong snuffed out the cigar in his hand at this time and said, "Enough." β
Ding Sicheng paused.
"Brother Cai," Bai Qihong raised his eyebrows, and his words were meaningful, "I don't know if Brother Cai is still satisfied?" β
Cai Bingrong kept a calm face and did not speak.
The implication of Bai Qihong's words is to let Chen Shu also express it?
As smart as Chen Shu, naturally he would not let his master lose face on such an occasion, he stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of Cai Bingrong, his arrogant eyebrows and eyes were full of awe, "My life was given by Mr. Cai, even if Mr. Cai wants me to die here immediately, I won't blink an eye," Chen Shu said and pulled out the gun at his waist, "If my insignificant life can be exchanged for the trust between Mr. Cai and Mr. Bai," he skillfully opened the safety of the rifle and aimed the muzzle at his temple.
Before Hua Ting had time to react, Cai Bingrong first cut off in a loud voice: "Put the gun down!" β
It was the first time for Hua Ting to see him angry, and Cheng DΓΉ, whose face was so hideous that he was terrifying, was never inferior to Bai Qihong.
"Chen Shu, this kid has followed me since he was a child, and I have already accepted him as my adopted son," Cai Bingrong slowly stood up from the chair, the tips of his shoes pierced into the heavy carpet, "I can doubt anyone, but Chen Shu, I, Cai, am willing to guarantee with my life, Chen Shu will never dare to do anything that violates the gang rules, if you still don't believe it, Brother Bai, then," he forcibly removed the gun in Chen Shu's hand and threw it on the smooth table proudly, "Please break me first." β
The black pistol glided half a meter on the horizontal table, and finally stopped at Bai Qihong's left hand side.
Just now, at the moment when Chen Shu opened the safety of the rifle, Hua Ting's self-control, which he had always been proud of, actually collapsed because of his action, and the sour and astringent feeling was extremely expanded, rushing from his chest to the end of his nose, and his mouth seemed to be astringent. She hadn't experienced this urge to cry for a long time, just thinking about the moment when that hand was about to pull the trigger was worse than death.
The atmosphere at the scene fell into an embarrassing situation because of Cai Bingrong's actions.
Bai Qihong stared at the black gun in his hand and didn't speak for a long time.
"Brother Bai, you are not a fool, you know best how many years Chen Shu has been by my side, if he wants to do it, I'm afraid you have already died in his hands thousands of times."
Cai Bingrong's words are sharp, but he is not wrong at all.
Ding Sicheng's left hand was still dripping with blood, and he stood straight on the side of the table, so calm that he didn't even bother to wrinkle his eyebrows, letting the blood in his hand drip onto the dark red wool carpet at his feet.
Bai Qihong supported his forehead with one hand, and his face was embarrassed.
At present, it seems that Ding Sicheng is still the most suspicious among all the people present, but after all, he was promoted by himself, and if something goes wrong, he will definitely have nothing to do with him.
However, after all, the matter was provoked by him, and there must be an end.
"The matter of the arsenal still needs to be investigated, and I will not let this batch of goods be lost in vain," Bai Qihong said in a low tone, "I will never let any of my brothers be wronged." "I kind of found a staircase for myself.
Scold! That's a good thing to say! Hua Ting twitched the corners of her mouth twice.
"The next arms deal is put on hold for a while," Bai Qihong sorted out his thoughts for a short time, "After all, there are already several pairs of eyes staring at us outside. β
Finally, he added: "Remember to be very careful!" β
Chen Shu raised his head and smiled relievedly at Shanghua.
