Chapter Seventy-Four: Search
The car started quickly, and Lu Ziqi leaned against the car with a gloomy face and pursed his lips. What about those people who come along the river? Along the river, how can those straw bales shake it? It's just that he and Cheng Rongjian's account has to be calculated slowly.
Lu Ziji's fingers tapped on the seat, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. This is not a good opportunity for him.
He knocked on the seat again, and asked Xiao Wu in front of him casually: "Where is the person who said he wanted to see me that day?" ”
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he didn't know what he wanted to do. Cautiously said, "Didn't you say you couldn't see it at the time?" ”
Lu Ziqi glanced at him and said, "I didn't see it at the time, so I can't see it now?" ”
Xiao Wu didn't dare to speak anymore. He replied resignedly: "At that time, I didn't decide on the place, and I will make an appointment with you immediately." ”
Lu Ziqi was lazy, "No need to make an appointment, check where he lives." ”
Xiao Wu replied yes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Are you still going to see the surname Cheng?" ”
Lu Ziqi knocked on the chair absentmindedly and did not answer.
When Jiang Guangguang returned to the villa, the villa was empty, and there was no one at the door. She was slightly stunned. Walked in. In the living room, there was a person standing under Cheng Rongjian, and when he saw her, he said, "Miss Jiang, you're back." ”
Jiang Guangguang just hummed, and before he could speak, the man said, "You are finally back, it's not safe here, and the second master has moved out." Your things have been packed and sent over. The second master asked me to wait for you here, and let you go directly when you come back. ”
No, it's empty. Even the two aunts are gone.
He originally thought that Jiang Guangguang would ask something, but Jiang Guangguang didn't ask anything, just looked around and said, "Let's go." ”
The man was slightly stunned, then took a step forward, quickly left the villa, and went to drive.
Jiang Guangguang got into the car and still didn't say a word, looking sideways at the window. She knew that Cheng Rongjian still had a nest, but she didn't expect that Cheng Rongjian would bring her over.
She knew that Cheng Rongjian's temptation of her was not over. Jiang Guangguang paused slightly when he thought of this.
The car stopped almost silently in front of a small bungalow, and the wall was crawling with green and dense creepers, which was a little more gloomy for no reason.
There is a sentry at the door, which is obviously more heavily guarded than the villa. Vehicles entering and exiting are subject to inspection.
Cheng Rongjian was not there, the housekeeper named Sister Xu looked at Jiang Guangguang from top to bottom with critical eyes, and then asked people to arrange a room for Jiang Guangguang.
This side is much more depressing than the villa, the ground is covered with a thick carpet, and everyone walks quietly. The servants are also different from the villa, and are obviously specially trained.
If Jiang Guangguang didn't feel any difference between Cheng Rongjian in the villa, here, she didn't have to feel it, she could clearly know the gap between her and Cheng Rongjian.
She stood at the end of the hallway, smoking a cigarette, and quietly surveyed the layout of the building. originally thought that Cheng Rongjian must come back very late, but no, she didn't come back long before Cheng Rongjian came back.
He couldn't see anything on his face, glanced at Jiang Guangguang, and asked, "When did you come over?" As he spoke, he handed his coat to the servant who had been beside him.
Jiang Guangguang replied that after just coming here, the clothes on her body were bought from a stall where I don't know where to go, and they were a little shabby in the luxurious living room. But it wasn't out of place.
Everywhere she goes, she seems to be neither humble nor arrogant. In this way, it is obvious that he has a very good upbringing.
Cheng Rongjian's gaze stayed on her for a moment before she sat down. A maid had already brought tea, and as soon as he took a sip, Sister Xu came over. Said respectfully: "Second master, the meal has been arranged." ”
She was respectful and stood aside.
Cheng Rongjian hummed lightly, glanced at Jiang Guangguang, stood up, and said, "Eat." ”
Jiang Guangguang stood up. Sister Xu glanced at her and said respectfully, "Second master, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Cheng Rongjian glanced back at her, unbuttoned the cuffs, and said casually: "Then you tell me, what are the rules?" ”
His tone was very cold, Sister Xu had been with him for several years, and she knew that he would never show her emotions, so she didn't dare to speak again.
At this moment, Cheng Rongjian had already walked to the restaurant and opened the table for Jiang Guangguang. The aunt here is different from the one over there, and the dishes prepared are all Cheng Rongjian's favorite food.
Cheng Rongjian glanced at it lightly, and said, "I'll tell my aunt what you like to eat in the future." ”
The meal was eaten quietly, and when she went upstairs, Cheng Rongjian said: "She was sent by the old lady, so you don't have to worry about what you say." ”
His tone was very light, and Jiang Guangguang only reacted after a while that he was talking about Sister Xu. Cheng Rongjian didn't say anything more and went into the bathroom.
It is rumored that Cheng Rongjian was born as a noble son, but there is almost no one along the river who knows about Cheng Rongjian's family background.
Jiang Guangguang stood in place for a while, and then went back to the room. In a strange place, she couldn't sleep, and lay on the bed with her eyes wide open.
The night was silent, silent all around, only the heart pounding. After a long time, Jiang Guangguang closed his eyes. She will have to repair the wall tomorrow.
Jiang Guangguang got up a little late the next day, the door of Cheng Rongjian's bedroom was closed, she looked at it, a little absent-minded, and did not go downstairs, but walked over directly.
Before she could reach for it, the door opened from the inside. The person who came out was not Cheng Rongjian, but Sister Xu. She glanced at Jiang Guangguang and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?" ”
In this way, it is like Jiang Guangguang is an unsightly thief.
"I'm looking for the second master." Jiang Guangguang rubbed his nose and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Sister Xu's eyes showed a little contempt, and said: "You have to see clearly what kind of identity you are, don't think that if the second master looks at it, he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”
Her eyes were picky, and after saying this, she walked out of the bedroom, no longer looked at Jiang Guangguang, closed the door and left.
Jiang Guangguang touched his nose and went downstairs slowly. Naturally, there was no breakfast for her downstairs, and Jiang Guangguang didn't go to the kitchen to see it. Just walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Reiner walk in. Jiang Guangguang's footsteps paused, the corners of his eyes picked, he took two steps forward, stared at Jiang Guangguang and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Jiang Guangguang snorted and said, "The second master called me over." ”
Retort Ran's beautiful face suddenly approached her, smiled coldly, and said, "Don't use the second master to prevaricate me, do you think I don't know what your relationship with him is?" There was a slight pause. She straightened up and said nonchalantly, "I don't care about what happened before I came." But in the future, you'll have to be careful. ”
There was a strong warning in her tone, Jiang Guangguang smiled and said lightly: "You should say this to Cheng Rongjian." ”
"We'll see." He glanced at her contemptuously, and walked directly past her arrogantly.
Jiang Guangguang walked out slowly, and after walking so far, she lit a cigarette and smoked it. It's complicated here. It's far more than she could have imagined. Now that she has another retort burned, she has to get it as soon as possible, otherwise, the more she goes on, the more difficult it will be.
She looked up at the sky, and there was some hollow pain inexplicably. She sniffled and snuffed out the cigarette butt.
Later, Jiang Guangguang went to the casino, but was told that a batch of goods would come to the dock and asked her to come over to help. When Jiang Guangguang passed, Anan was already there, there was a salty sea breeze blowing in his face, and the atmosphere on the pier was much more tense than before under the dim yellow light.
After Anan finished talking to the people, he looked back at her and said, "Go to the warehouse and keep an eye on it." ”
Jiang Guangguang nodded, and went to the warehouse without saying a word. There are more people today than usual, and the unloading is always uninterrupted, and there is no pause.
Jiang Guangguang was in charge of keeping an eye on the warehouse, helping to keep accounts when he was too busy. The lights were lit up in the dark night, but the docks were busy.
Jiang Guangguang's movements are neat, and her long-term black-and-white upside-down life is clear even in the middle of the night, and she whispers or explains. The dim yellow light stretched her thin shadow long.
These days, with Anan, whether it is the dock or the casino, as long as it is not big, she will deal with it.
The night in May was already a little hot, although it was on the seaside, the wind was a little strong, and it didn't take long for Jiang Guangguang's body to sweat.
She reached out and wiped it, picked up the mineral water on the shabby table and just took a sip, when suddenly a voice came: "Who is it?" ”
The scolding was very loud, Jiang Guangguang was stunned, a strong light had already swept over, and a voice scolded: "Police, don't move." ”
This police voice made the people below stunned, and I don't know how long it has been since the word police has appeared along the river. Immediately, there was a stir at the bottom, and some people even threw the goods directly on the ground, and panicked for a while.
I didn't know what the situation was on the other side of the dock, and the voice was even louder, Jiang Guangguang's heart sank so much that he looked over there. scolded in a low voice: "Brother Nan is here, what are you panicking about?" No matter how bad it is, there is a second master. ”
Her gaze swept over the goods, and she said in a low voice, "Stay where you are, I'll come when I go and see." After a slight pause, she continued: "If you want to take this opportunity to make trouble, you have to think about it." ”
There was cruelty in her voice, a pair of eyes swept over everyone coldly, and she didn't say anything, and walked away with her body on her back.
The people below looked at her figure, and they all squatted on the ground quietly for a while.
Before Jiang Guangguang could go far, a flashlight swept over, and someone shouted loudly: "Police, squat down, don't move." ”
As he spoke, he fired a shot into the air. The people who originally wanted to rush to the dock suddenly quieted down, and Jiang Guangguang also squatted down with the crowd, holding his hands on his head.
The people below were all flustered, and no one knew when the police would appear in this place where there had never been a policeman. There was a whisper for a while.
Jiang Guangguang raised his head and looked at the dock, where the lights were dim and noisy, and he couldn't see anything. She looked at the pile of goods on the ground again and closed her eyes.
The waiting time was particularly long, Jiang Guangguang originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but Cheng Rongjian came quickly, and he came over in just ten minutes.
Anan was holding a wooden stick and leading people to confront those policemen, and when he saw Cheng Rongjian, he stepped back and called the second master respectfully.
The crowd automatically gave way to a way, and the police officer led by handed the search warrant to Cheng Rongjian, and said expressionlessly: "We received a report from someone that your batch of goods contains prohibited things." ”
Cheng Rongjian didn't look at the search warrant, his eyes swept lightly at the policeman with a gun, and said casually: "Tell your boss to come out." ”
The policeman in charge immediately said coldly: "I am the person in charge of this time, please get out of the way of your people, if it interferes with our official duties"
Cheng Rongjian lit a cigarette and smoked, and before the man's words were finished, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's okay to search, if you can't find something, who will be responsible for my loss this time?" I'm a serious businessman, and I have to have some evidence to say that I have prohibited items in my stuff for no reason, right? ”
He didn't blush at all when he said this, he was very smooth. The man gritted his teeth and said, "What does the second master mean, is it not allowed to be searched?" We also received a report, and asked the second master not to embarrass us. ”
Cheng Rongjian dusted off the fireworks in his hand, the smile on his face was plausible, and said, "Of course I won't embarrass you, I have always been a law-abiding citizen." Only, you have to don't embarrass me. I'm doing business so seriously that I can't afford to toss a few times a month. ”
The corner of his eye swept the crowd.
"What does the second master want?"
"I don't want to do anything, since I received a report, there is always such a person, calling people out. Just because you said that, how do I know if someone really reported it or "Cheng Rongjian seemed to laugh, and didn't say anything more when he said this.
He was clearly embarrassing them.
The face of the leader changed, pursed his lips, and said, "If we have to search, what is the second master going to do?" ”
Cheng Rongjian smiled faintly. Said slowly: "If you have to search, it's not impossible." Not to mention whether you can find something, there are so many of you, if you put something in it, won't I be at a loss? ”
He looked at the time, his fingers tapping nonchalantly on his watch.
The people on both sides confronted each other, and Huo Zhiming, who was the leader, had an ugly face, but he didn't dare to break through. He has a guy in his hand, but Cheng Rongjian has a lot more people here than them. And. The more Cheng Rongjian stopped it, the more it could only show that there was a problem with this batch of goods.
Huo Zhiming knew that today's task was tricky, not to mention that this was the first time to go out to the police along the river, and since they had come out, they couldn't go back so gloomy.
He swept the docks, and it was pitch black. The huge sea area is like a monster with its mouth open, as if it can swallow everyone at any moment.
He fell silent, and the minutes ticked by. Cheng Rongjian's gaze stayed on Zhou Lai in the crowd, the corners of his lips hooked, and then moved away.
Zhou Lai naturally noticed Cheng Rongjian's sight. He took a step forward and said something in Huo Zhiming's ear.
Huo Zhiming's face softened slightly, and said, "Since the second master is afraid of people putting things, then the second master will order someone to search for it." If there is nothing, we will withdraw immediately. Please don't embarrass me. ”
He looked like he was swallowing his anger.
Cheng Rongjian smiled faintly and said slowly: "People here, I only know Officer Zhou, so I'll bother Officer Zhou." ”
He said and glanced at Zhou Lai lightly. When it came to Zhoulai, Zhoulai was not surprised at all and stood up.
Who knew that before he could move forward, Cheng Rongjian called Anan lightly. Anan took a step forward, and Cheng Rongjian then said, "Although Officer Zhou and I know each other, we are not very pleasant. To be on the safe side, my men had to search Officer Zhou for anything he was carrying. ”
He's just deceiving people so much that it's completely reversed.
Huo Zhiming's face changed, and Zhou Lai had already stepped forward and raised his hands. Cheng Rongjian wasn't joking, Anan stepped forward and searched Zhou Lai's body with both hands.
Time seemed to stand still, Cheng Rongjian's face was careless, Anan searched for three or four minutes before he stopped, took a step back, and said respectfully: "Second master, there is nothing." ”
Cheng Rongjian nodded slightly, and said casually: "Accompany Officer Zhou on a trip." ”
He suddenly became so generous, Huo Zhiming's heart chuckled, he always felt that something was wrong, but Zhou Lai had already followed Anan away.
Cheng Rongjian's people had already broken a stool for him, he sat down, hooked his lips, and said, "Only Officer Lao Fuhuo is here to wait first." ”
His eyesight was so good that he had just glanced at him and noticed his name.
Huo Zhiming said politely, and his eyes followed Zhou Lai's back.
The waiting time is long, and the longer the waiting, the more anxious Huo Zhiming becomes. Zhou Lai has not come back, which means that nothing has been found.
Cheng Rongjian was very calm, and sat on the Taishi chair. Fingers tapped from time to time, occasionally checking the time.
Jiang Guangguang was not surprised when he saw Zhou Lai, she saw Zhou Lai, and Zhou Lai also saw her, but it was just a glance, he quickly looked away and went to the warehouse.
The waiting time was extraordinarily long, Jiang Guangguang's heart was pounding, and she remembered the scene when she opened the box that night.
Cheng Rongjian can put people in, and he must have already taken care of things. Even if it is not handled well, hidden in the middle of so many goods, with Zhou Lai alone, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out.
It's just that Zhou Lai is no longer Zhou Lai. Perhaps, then there is indeed a handle in the hand.
She just squatted with her head down, and after more than ten minutes, Zhou Lai came out of the warehouse, his face was not good-looking, and he walked directly to the dock.
When Zhou came and went, Huo Zhiming was already waiting restlessly, if he didn't catch Cheng Rongjian's handle this time, he might not be so easy to search next time.
When he saw Zhou Lai returning empty-handed, his heart chuckled. Cheng Rongjian, the old fox, in the end, was not fully prepared.
It was still so far away, Cheng Rongjian's eyes fell on Zhou Lai, and he said slowly to Anan beside him: "Let people order a few tables of meals in Huamao, the police officers are tired for most of the night, take everyone to relax." ”
He is like this, and he is clearly determined that he can't find anything in the future.
Zhou Lai's fists were clenched tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't bother the second master, I'm disturbing, please forgive the second master." ”
Cheng Rongjian glanced at him with a smile. Said slowly: "I searched and searched, Officer Zhou doesn't want to give me this face?" ”
Zhou Lai pursed his lips, Huo Zhiming was still more sleek in the end, and said politely: "Thank you Second Master for your hospitality." I won't bother this time, and I still have a lot of things to do when I go back. ”
Cheng Rongjian's face was careless, but he still didn't say anything, and said to Anan beside him, "Send Officer Huo." ”
I didn't find anything, but I still didn't have enough confidence, Huo Zhiming said a few more greetings, and then left with someone.
Waiting for all the police to leave. The people below breathed a sigh of relief. The expression on Cheng Rongjian's face was faint, and he swept around, and then lightly ordered: "Continue unloading." ”
So tossed down, almost all of them are disgraced. For the police who suddenly appeared, everyone had doubts in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
For a while, the entire dock was silent, and Jiang Guangguang returned to the warehouse, where there were many opened cardboard boxes on the ground, but they were all cigarettes and alcohol.
She just glanced at it and looked away. Command the box to be resealed.
Probably because of this, Cheng Rongjian didn't leave again, just stared at the dock. Everything was the same as before, as if nothing had happened.
She was slightly distracted, and suddenly remembered that she had been stopped from smoking. Today, did Cheng Rongjian get the news earlier, or did he really not get involved in those shady businesses?
Her heart sank slightly, and she said that if he hadn't stood in those shady businesses, probably no one would believe him.
She was slightly in a trance, and her heart was clear that they were starting to do it. With this beginning today, it means that there will be no peace in the future. Today you can check contraband, tomorrow you can sweep pornography and ban gambling. For a long time, it will not be calm again.
It's just a matter of who has the higher number of segments.
She lowered her head slightly, looking at the long shadows on the ground that were stretched by the light.
