Chapter 414

Hearing me say this, Wang Changguang no longer worried about anything,

He asked again: "My money, where is it? I can't just be busy for nothing."

"Your money is upstairs. Later you and Lao Wai will split it."

After saying that, I hurriedly brought Wang Changguang and Ding Li upstairs.

Once upstairs, I had Ding Li and Shi Yong each carry a bundle of money.

The remaining money, I said to Lao Wai: "Lao Wai, we brothers have been through thick and thin, there's still a lot of money left here, this money includes yours and Wang Changguang's, you two should split it."

"Also, Ding Li found many stall owners to help, this money is also inside; later you will distribute it to them." Lao Wai tilted his head looking at me,

"Zhao Jianqiang, is what you're saying this time true? You can't deceive me again."

"True, but I have a condition."

"You say it, as long as it can be done." Lao Wai said.

"Regarding our matters, you absolutely must not tell others; when people ask you, you know nothing." I said.

"Don't worry, these are trivial things; I, Lao Wai, have the tightest lips." Lao Wai patted his chest and said.

Hearing Lao Wai say that, I didn't say anything else.

I just patted Wang Changguang's shoulder,

"Brother-in-law, I'm leaving; give my sister my regards, and also Xixi. You two split this money."

After saying that, I pushed open the room and left.

Only Wang Changguang and Lao Wai remained in the room.

As for how they split the money, let them discuss it themselves.

They are brothers who have bowed their heads to the ground together; they should split it fine.

I quickly got into the car,

"Ding Li, drive, hurry up."

"Where are we going?" Ding Li asked.

"To the Provincial Capital, to deliver money to Zhu Sheng." I said.

Because we acted swiftly, plus the license plate from Sijiucheng, there was basically no inspection on the road.

Our car soon got onto the highway.

After getting onto the highway,

Shi Yong complained to me: "Brother, you left them too much money. That Lao Wai, what kind of person is he? With that much money, he'll surely cause trouble."

If he causes trouble, it will implicate us.

Actually, we really should have dealt with Lao Wai.

I smiled,

"Shi Yong, do you know? I intentionally left Lao Wai that much money."

"Why? I can't figure it out." Shi Yong said.

"Dealing with Lao Wai brings us no benefit; I've known him for many years. People should talk about feelings. If something happens to Lao Wai in my hands, I would feel uneasy."

"Keeping Lao Wai also benefits us; after all, he has helped us. Without his mijimi xiang, many things would go badly. That much money is also enough to support him in old age." I explained.

"Brother Zhao, I feel Yong Ge is right; this guy Lao Wai, when he has money, he shows off. He might now be flaunting his money."

Leaving Lao Wai that much money,

will let Kong Shi catch him. Capturing Lao Wai would be very disadvantageous for us." Ding Li said while driving.

"Exactly, Brother Ding Li, you're right; if we can't, we'll go back and deal with Lao Wai." Shi Yong shouted.

I took out a cigarette,

"Shi Yong, Ding Li, you don't know. I want Kong Shi to catch Lao Wai. I know what kind of person Lao Wai is; once he has money, he will surely show off everywhere. Then Kong Shi will investigate him."

He will surely confess our affairs.

After he confesses, Kong Shi will follow the leads and find Fan Shazi, Director Lu, etc. These people sell antiquities illegally and must be dealt with. Moreover, that Fan Shazi, damn it, he actually dared to set a trap, trying to ruin our good deeds.

Such people must be thrown back into prison." I said harshly.

"Putting Fan Shazi in jail is a small matter. The problem is we'll attract Kong Shi's attention, and if Lao Wai again tells them what we've been up to in Sijiucheng, what then?" Ding Li worried.

"Ding Li, your worry is justified; Lao Wai will definitely spill everything he knows. I just want Kong Shi to know that we're now relying on the Wen Family."

"I'm even more confused," Shi Yong said.

"Shi Yong, I want to see Kong Shi's attitude knowing we're relying on the Wen Family."

He's just a fence-sitter; whichever side is stronger, he'll lean toward that side.

Through him we can also gauge how strong the Wen Family really is.

Also, I hope Kong Shi can change a bit, not go down a single path to the end.

That would be too advantageous for us.

"Zhao Ge, we have a life-and-death conflict with Kong Shi; if he changes, can we accept that?" Ding Li asked.

"Yes, because Shangguan Zhuren is in his hands; I'm trying to find a way to rescue Shangguan Zhuren." I said, looking out the car window.

Xiao Fang's words came to mind again in my ear, urging me to return to Zaocheng to inquire about Shangguan Zhuren's news.

But I simply couldn't find out anything.

I also don't know what Shangguan Zhuren's situation is now.

I decided to use Lao Wai to test Kong Shi, to see what his attitude would really be.

If he could show some change, that would be our greatest benefit.

See if we can get Shangguan Zhuren out from him.

The car was speeding on the highway,

After a little more than three hours, we arrived at the Provincial Capital.

After getting off the highway, I said we should quickly contact Zhu Sheng.

Ask him where to find him.

Because a few days ago Zhu Sheng got in touch with me; he told me that people here in the Provincial Capital are safe, but they have no money.

Zhou Wei's condition has changed a bit, and the money must keep up for treatment.

So I brought all the remaining money over and let Zhu Sheng use it first.

Later, I'll send some from Sijiucheng to Zhu Sheng.

Zhu Sheng's phone connected.

"Hello, Zhu Sheng, this is Zhao Jianqiang. Where are you staying now? We've already left the highway."

"Jianqiang, you're here—great. We live near Shadowless Mountain. After you cross Little Clear River, there's a Heavy‑Vehicle Parts City. Contact me there," Zhu Sheng said over the phone.

I replied, "Alright, Zhu Sheng. We'll be there in about half an hour."

I said to Ding Li, "Go to Shadowless Mountain."

Ding Li said, "The car navigation isn't working now; I don't know Shadowless Mountain. How should we go?"

"Let me drive; I know Shadowless Mountain. I've been here before," Shi Yong said.

"When did you come to Shadowless Mountain in the Provincial Capital?" I asked Shi Yong.

"A few years ago, Mao Hai from Zaocheng and I met a big brother here who claimed to be the ruler of Shadowless Mountain. In Shadowless Mountain he keeps his word,

Mao Hai and I often come from Zaocheng to here to find him for drinks," Shi Yong said.

"That's great, Shi Yong, you know this big brother; let's meet him. Here we can also protect Zhu Sheng's safety," I said.

"Sigh, don't bring it up. He was executed by shooting. Robbery and murder," Shi Yong shook his head.

"Shi Yong, the people you know are either robbers or societal riffraff; none are respectable," I said to Shi Yong.

Shi Yong chuckled,

"Brother, my main goal is to influence them. I'm a respectable person; I've always been doing good deeds.

I want to use my actions to influence the people around me, all for good, but some people just don't get on the right path.

If they willingly walk the dark path, there's nothing I can do."

This Shi Yong always has a reason to explain himself.

After Ding Li parked the car, Shi Yong took over the driving.

We quickly passed Dikou Road,

and stopped at an intersection,

Shi Yong said, "Brother, we've arrived at Shadowless Mountain."
