Chapter 301: Return to Da Heng Group

I looked at Zhang Zong,

Then he said seriously: "Zhang Zong, the safe place I mentioned is the Da Heng Group. We all will return to the Da Heng Group; it is the safest there."

"Returning to the Da Heng Group, isn't that too crazy?" Zhang Zong asked.

"If before it could be described as crazy, now it's different; with you at the Da Heng Group, our safety is guaranteed." I said.

Shangguan Zhuren nodded,

"The New Year is coming up soon; should the Da Heng Group be closing for vacation soon, Zhang Zong? When you go back, arrange for staff to take early leave. That way, there will be no one left in the group."

"Even if they take leave, someone still needs to be on duty." Zhang Zong said.

"To be considerate of subordinates, you take the duty alone. I'll first get past this immediate obstacle, then we'll talk." I said.

Zhang Zong took a puff of cigarette,

"Shangguan Zhuren, Jianqiang, returning to the Da Heng Group is also a good option. I can arrange early leave for the New Year; anyway, by the year's end, construction sites are idle. Everyone has nothing to do at work."

"Kong Shi is busy catching you, Liu Shiru and Ruan Wei have already gone back south for the New Year; anyway, right now the Da Heng Group only has me."

"Moving into the Da Heng Group, at the very least I can guarantee your safety."

Upon hearing Zhang Zong say that,

I laughed and said,

"Zhang Zong, others in the Group Company can take leave, but the cook who stir-fries dishes cannot; I really crave his spicy chicken."

"This is trivial; I'll arrange it. While on New Year leave, Jianqiang, you need to have a good talk with Xiao Shitou." Zhang Zong said, looking at me.

"Don't worry, I guarantee he will definitely acknowledge you as his biological father."

"Alright, everyone said that. Zhang Zong, it's getting late; you should head back early to avoid raising their suspicions." Shangguan Zhuren said worriedly.

"Okay, Shangguan Zhuren, after I go back, I will immediately arrange for the company staff to take leave."

"Then, for safety's sake, I will send a car to pick you up the day after tomorrow. How many people are there?" Zhang Zong asked.

I said: "That's better, to avoid encountering road checks. There are six of us. The Da Heng Group has enough rooms. The driver must be someone you trust most."

"Don't worry, everyone has a few trusted people around. It's getting late; I must head back. Wait for my call tomorrow."

Zhang Zong finished speaking and stood up.

I and Shangguan Zhuren each shook hands with Zhang Zong,

then saw Zhang Zong out the door.

After Zhang Zong left,

Shangguan Zhuren asked: "Jianqiang, is returning to the Da Heng Group really safe?"

I said: "Shangguan Zhuren, it's absolutely safe; this Zhang Zong is not the same as before. He lacks absolute confidence and won't take on challenges. Moreover, he now seeks our help, aside from having Xiao Shitou call him dad,

also, that is the future of the Da Heng Group, which he himself stated clearly: straddling two boats.

that is, cooperating with us,

in this way he can hand over the Da Heng Group to Xiao Shitou.

Zhang Zong currently holds little influence among them; therefore, he places his hopes on us.

He knows a lot about our situation. Shangguan Zhuren, I ask you, is our backer Zhu Sheng?"

Upon hearing me say that,

Shangguan Zhuren took a puff of cigarette,

"Jianqiang, there are some things I originally planned to tell you in a few days, but since you already know, I'll tell you. Our backer is Zhu Sheng.

Without Zhu Sheng's support, we could not learn about Zhou Fuhai and the Zhou family's secrets.

But currently Zhu Sheng is suspended; he does not want to be exposed.

So some things, you just need to know; others shouldn't talk about them.

Zhang Zong has learned about Zhu Sheng; it seems the Zhou family also knows.

Our actions must be sped up."

I said: "Shangguan Zhuren, you weren't planning to go to Sijiucheng in March, were you? Why wait until March? Why don't we go now?"

"Now it's freezing cold; what would we do in Sijiucheng? Wait, March will bring changes. Jianqiang, we are already in a difficult situation, maneuvering in their hands,

we haven't let them catch us; instead, we've even captured an important figure in our hands.

Thinking of this makes my heart bloom with joy."

No need to ask; what Shangguan Zhuren said refers to Shen Honghong.

Shen Honghong is extremely important. She is the bullet that will topple Zhou Renfeng.

I said: "It seems we must definitely protect Shen Honghong well."

"Yes, Zhu Sheng told us we must spare no effort to protect this woman; when the time comes, everyone will rely on her. Alright, summon the big guys; let's tell everyone we're preparing to return to Zaocheng." Shangguan Zhuren said.

Then I summoned Xiao Long, Li Ming, and Shi Yong.

I told them to prepare to return to the Da Heng Group in Zaocheng the day after tomorrow, and to cooperate with Zhang Zong.

Upon hearing this news,

Shi Yong got excited,

"Returning to the Da Heng Group, we'll fear nothing; I'll protect everyone's safety—I have the Security Team."

"Alright, Shi Yong, you must not seek out the Security Team; we're most afraid that familiar people will find out." I criticized Shi Yong.

"Everyone returning to the Da Heng Group must be extra careful, because we are still in danger. Xiao Long, at that time you will do nothing but focus on protecting Shen Honghong's safety." Shangguan Zhuren arranged.

Xiao Long nodded.

"What does Shen Honghong do, is she that important?" Li Ming asked.

"Brother, I'll explain this to you later; in short, it's very important." I said.

Li Ming stopped asking.

After we held another meeting and worked out some countermeasures, we were just waiting for Zhang Zong's notice.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Zong called.

He told us that he had dispatched a business car, which had already set off and would arrive in Huaihai City in two hours.

We hurriedly prepared.

Shen Honghong heard that we were moving again and was very unhappy,

but whether she was happy or not didn't matter.

We had to leave; if we didn't, we would be waiting for Kong Shi to come and arrest us.

For safety, we did not let the business car come to the Yin Du Hotel.

We had the driver drive to the train station and wait for us.

The few of us took a taxi from the hotel to the train station.

Then, when we arrived at the train station, we got on the business car that Zhang Zong had arranged.

After getting on the business car, Shi Yong muttered, "Damn, this business car is just our old car; fuck, thinking about it really pisses me off."

I quickly used my gaze to stop Shi Yong's words.

At this point the driver hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, you must stay quiet; at the junction of the two provinces' expressways there will be inspections. I have already prepared the documents for you. If they do a spot check, just take them out."

After saying that, the driver handed each of us a document, which was an invitation letter from Da Heng Group.

I thought to myself,

It looks like Kong Shi is getting serious; even on the highway they're conducting inspections.

We really need to be careful.

The driver quickly got us onto the expressway and then headed straight toward Zaocheng.

When we reached the junction of the two provinces, we indeed saw people inspecting vehicles.

My nerves were at their breaking point; I was really afraid they would find something.

My face is starting to look more and more like Zhao Jianqiang's.

And Shi Yong's black face,

nobody doesn't know it.

When we arrived at the checkpoint,

All I saw was the driver shouting at the inspector, "This is a Da Heng Group vehicle; let me show you the special pass. Our group's Zhang Zong invited these guests—do you really need to inspect a big shot like this?"

After the inspector took the special pass from the driver and glanced at it, he waved his hand and let our car speed away.

Then, with a wave of the hand, they let our car quickly leave.
