Chapter 360

After hanging up the phone, I fell into deep thought.

What should we do next?

I have been in Sijiucheng for many days,

here, I do not feel any danger.

because no one here knows me, nor has anyone heard of me.

I, Zhao Jianqiang, used to be someone important in Zaocheng,

but now in Sijiucheng I am nothing.

Living like this is more relaxed,

If there is any movement from Kong Shi, if it really comes to it, I will bring all those people to Sijiucheng; anyway I have rented a large villa.

I was thinking, I will discuss it with Zhu Sheng tomorrow and then decide.

The next morning,

I and Zhu Sheng discussed this matter in the room,

After Zhu Sheng heard me finish speaking, he lit a cigarette,

"Jianqiang, your idea is to bring them all to Sijiucheng. Having so many people come at once, I do not approve.

More people means more affairs, and more talk.

Our dealings with Wen Han are still unclear.

As the ancient saying goes, a ruler who is not discreet loses his state; a minister who is not discreet loses his self.

We must now act secretly, bringing them all from Zaocheng to Sijiucheng,

it is the easiest way to leak news; then we would be busy for nothing."

It seems Zhu Sheng is unwilling to let them all come over.

I said, "Zhu Sheng, I understand what you say, but Shangguan Zhuren is under too much pressure in Zaocheng.

Moreover, we now only have Lei Lei to restrain Kong Shi; if Liu Shiru returns to Zaocheng and strongly urges Kong Shi to raid the Zaocheng mine, they will all be finished.

I am very worried."

"Jianqiang, given the current situation, we can only separate them, not gather them together. The Qi He mine is unsafe; you were right just now, relying on Lei Lei to draw Kong Shi's force is too weak.

Tell me, how many people need to be transferred from the Qi He mine?" Zhu Sheng asked,

"Li Ming, Shangguan Zhuren, Xiao Long, Shi Yong, Shen Honghong, Xiao Fang, Qian Niang, Zhou Wei, He Qing, Ru Meng, Ya Ling, and others. I estimate about ten or more people."

"Oh, that many. Humph, let's do this. I have an idea; let me tell you, see if it works."

"You say, Zhu Sheng."

"With so many people, moving them all to Sijiucheng definitely won't work.

Your wife's health is poor; I know the director of a hospital in the provincial capital, and we have a very good relationship, so we can transfer Zhou Wei to that hospital in the provincial capital.

Like your foster mother, Li Ming, and Ru Meng, they can all go to the provincial capital.

I have a place there, after all I once worked in the provincial capital.

Shangguan Zhuren, Shi Yong, and Shen Honghong will come to Sijiucheng.

They can live with us, and maybe they can help us out."

Upon hearing Zhu Sheng say that,

I felt what he said was very reasonable,

If we bring too many people to Sijiucheng,

it will become very chaotic.

It would easily lead to trouble.

"Zhu Sheng, you are right. I will do as you say. Then you should now contact the provincial capital's hospital to prepare for their transfer."

"Okay, Jianqiang. I will contact them now. You also discuss with Shangguan Zhuren to see who goes to the provincial capital and who comes to Sijiucheng." Zhu Sheng said this and then stood up,

and went to contact the hospital.

I was about to pull out my phone to contact Shangguan Zhuren again.

At that moment my phone rang,

I saw it was not a familiar number,

so I answered cautiously,

"Jianqiang, I finally found your phone number; I am anxious. Something big has happened." Zhang Zong's urgent voice came through the phone.

"Zhang Zong, what happened?" I asked.

"Alas, Kong Shi has moved Lei Lei out of Jinling."

"What? Impossible. Xiao Wu has been watching Lei Lei every day in Jinling; how could he be moved out?"

He sends pictures of the child to Shangguan Zhuren every day, and Shangguan Zhuren forwards them to Kong Shi."

"You have all been deceived by Kong Shi. The child that Xiao Wu photographed is not Lei Lei at all,

that child is a stand-in Kong Shi found; the real Lei Lei was transferred away a few days ago. I just got the information today and immediately contacted you,

but your phone number had changed, so I found Shangguan Zhuren, asked for your number, and hurriedly contacted you, fearing something might happen to the Qi He mine." Zhang Zong said.

"Ah, is this really true? Zhang Zong."

"Jianqiang, this is absolutely true. Because Kong Shi came today to discuss with me how to encircle the Qi He mine.

I then asked him, 'You, Zhao Jianqiang, don't you know Lei Lei is in Jinling?'

Kong Shi proudly told me, 'Lei Lei has already been transferred out.'

His older sister found a child similar to Lei Lei, who reads at home every day, deliberately letting Xiao Wu and them take photos.

To numb you all. Then, at that time, they will directly round you all up." Zhang Zong said.

Hearing Zhang Zong say that,

My heart leapt to my throat,

What are we to do,

Kong Shi is too vicious.

I said, "Zhang Zong, I'm telling you the truth, I'm not in Zaocheng now, I'm in Sijiucheng. So many people are at Qi He Kuang, what are we to do."

"When will Kong Shi act?"

"He said, in a few days Zhou Jie will come; he wants to wait for Zhou Jie to arrive, then personally seize you and Li Ming, and claim merit from the Zhou family,"

"So you need to quickly think of a way to move the people out as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much, Zhang Zong; if you hadn't warned me, we'd really be done for."

"What thanks, Jianqiang? I can still help you a bit; the company's car can be used. Tell me where to transfer, I'll send it. If Kong Shi finds out, I'll take the blame."

Jianqiang, I know you're busy with big matters in Sijiucheng; leave the small family matters to me.

"You can go ahead and work boldly over there," Zhang Zong said.

Zhang Zong's support like this,

I feel reassured.

"Zhang Zong, thank you; I'll contact Shangguan Zhuren now, have him get in touch with you to see how we can move the people out."

"Okay, Jianqiang, no more talk between us. Have Shangguan Zhuren contact me. The car and personnel will support you anytime." Zhang Zong said and hung up.

After hanging up, Zhu Sheng came in from outside,

"Jianqiang, the hospital in the Provincial Capital has been contacted,"

"I've also found lodging for others in the Provincial Capital; all are safe places, so you can relax."

"Zhu Sheng, perfect timing; just now Zhang Zong from Da Heng Group called."

He said Kong Shi had his son Lei Lei moved out.

He deliberately made a child similar to Lei Lei and placed it at his older sister's home in Jinling to confuse us.

Then he could net us all.

I'll contact Shangguan Zhuren now, have him find Zhang Zong to move the people to the Provincial Capital. Zhang Zong said he'd use his company's car, so no one would dare inspect on the road.

"Great, Jianqiang, get in touch quickly; damn, this Kong Shi is too vicious, we almost fell for his trick." Zhu Sheng said.

I took out my phone,

I dialed Shangguan Zhuren's number,

"Shangguan Zhuren, just now Zhang Zong said that Kong Shi had moved Lei Lei; he deliberately made a child,"

to attract our attention, then after Zhou Jie goes to Zaocheng, he'll net us all.

Now Zhu Sheng has already found us a new place; I'll send you the address shortly.

You contact Zhang Zong and have him send a car to move Zhou Wei, Qian Niang, Ru Meng, and He Qing to the Provincial Capital.

Others, follow Ding Li and Xiao Long's cars to Sijiucheng; I've already rented a place here.

"Jianqiang, I was saying, Zhang Zong sought you so urgently because of this. Kong Shi is a damn bastard; we almost fell for it."

Like this: whoever goes to the Provincial Capital, whoever goes to Sijiucheng, I'll arrange it; you don't need to ask.

Keep busy with your affairs in Sijiucheng.

"You don't need to worry about this here." Shangguan Zhuren said.
