Chapter 103: An Accident Happens
"Knowing that there can be no clues and progress in a short period of time, but still having to invest unlimited manpower and time, that is not called action, it should be called stupidity. I have now handed over this matter to Chongqing Station, which not only reduces our burden and trouble, but also allows us to share a benefit from Chongqing Station afterwards, which is called stop loss. In other words, no matter whether Chongqing Station can win this case or not, we have no loss. The dissatisfied look on Tang Cheng's face made Zhao Dashan and the others speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, they also admitted that Tang Cheng's words just now sounded fine.
Tang Cheng, who successfully fooled Zhao Dashan and the others, was full of smugness in his heart, but after he and Zhao Dashan returned to the safe zone, a bad news suddenly fell on Tang Cheng's head. "What? You said that the surname Bai went to my house? When did it happen? What else did the caller say? The old policeman who was questioned by Tang Cheng looked anxious, and he didn't know the specific situation, but he didn't know it, and someone called to inform him.
The person who called Tang Cheng was an apprentice of Ma Ye, and after Tang Cheng moved his family to Chongqing, the safety of his family has been entrusted to Ma Ye and his apprentices. Tang Cheng did this, on the one hand, because he didn't want to be known about his relationship with the intelligence department and the investigation team, and on the other hand, Tang Cheng was also worried that his family would be implicated because of him. So after coming to Chongqing, Tang Cheng rarely went home, and even when he did, it was mostly after dark.
Tang Cheng moved his family to Chongqing to protect his family from the war, and although living in Chongqing was also dangerous, at least it would not disconnect his family from society. Tang Cheng defended the forces of the robe brothers in the city, and also guarded the intelligence department and the investigation team, but now, these things that he had been painstakingly building were broken by Bai Zhanshan. "You guys go about things as usual, I'll be away for a while, and I'll call later." When Tang Cheng left, there was a thick anger shining in his eyes, which made Zhao Dashan and the others secretly worried.
What Tang Cheng couldn't understand was why Bai Zhanshan suddenly went to his house, at this time, shouldn't Bai Zhanshan be in the barracks to interrogate those involved in the case? With a deep doubt, Tang Cheng hurried all the way home. When Tang Cheng went home, the first thing he saw was not his family, but the person who called the safe house, that is, Zhou Chuang, Ma Ye's eldest apprentice. "Young master, we are incompetent and have not been able to stop them." Seeing Tang Cheng, Zhou Chuang's face was full of guilt.
"It has nothing to do with you, those people are not easy to mess with!" confirmed that Zhou Chuang and they did not suffer casualties because of this, Tang Cheng did not reveal Bai Zhanshan's identity to the other party, but just waved his hand, and did not feel that Zhou Chuang and they should be responsible for this matter. "Tell me carefully, how long has the surname Bai been here? How many people did you bring with you when you came? How is my family doing? Tang Cheng had too many questions to ask Zhou Chuang, and for a while, Zhou Chuang, who was asked one after another, didn't know that he should answer that first.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chuang finally spoke, "When the old lady went to church in the morning, everything was normal, but when she came back, the little lady wanted to eat Li Ji's red oil and copy her hands, and the old lady should have been touched by the surnamed Bai at that time." The old lady and the surnamed Bai were just chatting casually at that time, and no one thought that we would go home for a while, and the surnamed Bai brought someone to chase after him, and I saw that the old lady didn't want to deal with the surnamed Bai. ”
Zhou Chuang was honest by nature, he didn't answer the questions that Tang Cheng asked one by one, but according to his own habits, he first explained why Bai Zhanshan came here. When the surnamed Bai brought someone to find him, we had already blocked the street, and the old lady agreed to let the surnamed Bai in, otherwise don't look at him bringing someone here, he will definitely not be able to enter this street..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Before the junior brother's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhou Chuang's glare. "The one surnamed Bai only brought three people, and I saw that although those three people were all practitioners, the skills they brought were not deep. My two junior sisters are inside, and there is Xiaohu by the old lady's side, if the surnamed Bai moves his mind that he shouldn't have, he and the people he brought will definitely not be able to walk out of this street. Perhaps under the influence of Tang Cheng, Zhou Chuang's expression also became cold.
Tang Cheng finally softened his expression, and waved his hand lightly, "It's not that serious, I just don't understand, why did the surname Bai come to the house!" Don't worry, the surname Bai will never dare to think about my family, otherwise I will let him know what it means to live and not to die. Tang Cheng's words sounded even more ruthless than Zhou Chuang's previous words, and Zhou Chuang, whose palms were already sweating, couldn't help but secretly think in his heart that Bai Zhanshan and the others deserved to say something in advance.
"Okay, since Huzi is inside, it won't be a big deal. I'll go in first and see, you're all still the same old rules! Although his questions were not answered by Zhou Chuang, Tang Cheng's mood had stabilized. Reaching out and patting Zhou Chuang on the shoulder, Tang Cheng came out of the tavern and strode towards his own house at the end of the street.
Almost all of the money Tang Cheng got from Nanjing and Shanghai was spent here, thanks to the help of Ma Ye and their old guys, this whole street is actually the property of the Tang family, and Zhang Jianghe's family also lives in this street, but Zhang Jianghe did not accept the shops that the Tang family gave away for nothing. The shops in this street are only rented and not sold, and the rent is not much, but it will only be rented to acquaintances who know the roots.
Walking to Tang Cheng at the end of the street, he greeted a few familiar faces very vaguely, and after more than a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng appeared outside the gate of his house. Compared with the Tang family's old mansion in Nanjing, the area of this mansion is significantly larger, which can be seen from the scale of the gate alone. "Young Master, why are you back? Didn't you say last time that you wouldn't be back until the end of the month? "The porter Lao He is a veteran with only one eye, if it weren't for Ma Ye's face, this veteran with a mysterious origin would never come to Tang's house to be a gatekeeper to watch the door.
"Uncle He, is there a guest at home?" Tang Cheng did not answer Uncle He's question, but went straight to the point and asked Uncle He about things at home. Tang Cheng's words can be regarded as the reason why he suddenly went home, and Uncle He, who was originally tense, instantly relaxed, and the eldest young master who can take charge of the family is back, and the few uninvited guests inside don't have to worry about themselves.
"It's a guest, I heard that Xiao Hei said that it was an old acquaintance of the family in Nanjing, but looking at Xiao Hei's appearance, the guest who came should not be a good stubble!" Uncle He's answer sounded a little confused, but Tang Cheng already understood what Uncle He wanted to express. Leaving the cigarettes and lighters in his pocket to Uncle He, Tang Chao raised his feet and stepped over the threshold into the courtyard, and at first glance he saw the sunspot pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"Brother, why are you back?" Seeing Tang Cheng appear at the door, the original worried look on Kuroko's face dissipated in an instant, and the footsteps towards Tang Cheng also looked light. The sunspot who strode to Tang Cheng's side immediately lowered his voice and said to Tang Cheng, "The one surnamed Bai brought someone to the house, and he also brought a person surnamed Ma, saying that he was a distant relative of our mother, but I look at our mother's reaction, I should not know that there is such a relative." ”
There was a hint of anger in Kuroko's voice, Bai Zhanshan suddenly came to the door with a sense of weirdness, and the person who rarely contacted him on weekdays not only suddenly came to the door, but also brought a so-called distant relative, although Heizi was young, he also knew that there was something here. "It's okay, leave everything to me, this is our family, they can't afford to make waves." Tang Cheng patted Kuroko on the shoulder as if comforting and affirming, and then walked towards the main house.
Tang Cheng had just walked to the door of the main house, when he heard a voice coming from the main house, it was an unfamiliar voice, Tang Cheng, who had stopped his steps, could be 100% sure that he had never heard this voice before. "Cousin-in-law, although my cousin's branch has nothing to do with the old house, I can't write two horse characters in one stroke, no matter how I say it, we are also the ancestors of the clan. Now that I know that you have moved from Nanjing to Chongqing, I have to come to the door to take a look, otherwise others will gossip about the Ma family in Yunnan. ”
The voice coming from the main house was unfamiliar to Tang Cheng, but the words he heard just now made Tang Cheng realize that this voice should belong to the distant relative surnamed Ma. "Mom, how did I hear that there are relatives in the house! For as long as I can remember, I've never heard you say that we still have relatives in Yunnan! Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the main house and walked in, and when he entered the main house, he saw clearly that the people in the main house seemed to be clearly divided into two groups.
Tang Cheng's mother sat on the left side, behind Tang Hu and the pair of mixed-race twins, and the eldest sister Tang Juan and Zhou Chuang's two junior sisters stood by the window. On the right hand side sat Bai Zhanshan and a strange middle-aged man, and behind the two stood Bai Zhanshan's two subordinates, Bai Zhanshan looked at ease with an old god, but the strange middle-aged man was eager. "You... How did you get back? Bai Zhanshan was glanced at by Tang Cheng, and there was a panic in his heart for no reason.
Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to Bai Zhanshan, but first greeted his mother and eldest sister, and then Tang Hu and the twin sisters with a simple smile. "Mom, don't worry, leave it all to me!" Tang Cheng rarely goes home, but Ma Guixiang knows that many things at home are actually arranged by Tang Cheng. Ma Guixiang was not surprised by Tang Cheng's sudden return, and after Tang Cheng made a guarantee, Ma Guixiang simply closed his eyes and made an attitude of letting Tang Cheng be the master.
