Chapter 938: Sending Hao Tao to the Provincial Capital
"Zhu Sheng, I will definitely find a way to lure Liu Yong back,
making sure this kid can't run away at all.
As for Hao Tao, I'll deliver him straight to you in the Provincial Capital tomorrow morning.
By the way, Zhu Sheng,
Wang Ge, the treasure we took from them hasn't been given to us yet.
I want to see Wang Ge and ask him to come over," I said.
"About those bronze artifacts,
don't worry, someone will talk to him about it then.
I'm sure he'll hand them over to save his life.
These people value their lives above everything.
Having Hao Tao in our hands is like holding the Wang family's seven‑inch leverage.
What they fear most is having their secrets exposed to the world.
Wang Family, this time they're finished," Zhu Sheng said.
"Alright then, Zhu Sheng, see you tomorrow in the Provincial Capital," I said.
"Alright, Jianqiang, see you in the Provincial Capital," Zhu Sheng said before hanging up.
I need to arrange this matter quickly. Right now, Ding Li is protecting Kang Yali.
The only thing I have at my side is Xiao Shitou.
I suddenly thought of Li Jia,
this woman drives fast,
so I might let Li Jia help,
I need to safely and quickly get Hao Tao to the Provincial Capital.
So I quickly contacted Li Jia and asked her to come early tomorrow,
so we could go to Qi He together to pick up Hao Tao and head to the Provincial Capital.
Early the next day, we went to Qi He,
Hao Tao's complexion was much stronger than before.
I said, "Hao Tao, we're going to the Provincial Capital today."
"Zhao Ge, what's the purpose of going to the Provincial Capital?" Hao Tao asked.
"Someone wants to see you, to learn about the Wang Family's Money Laundering and Smuggling," I said, looking straight at Hao Tao.
"Could it be dangerous?" Hao Tao asked worriedly.
"No, that day, the Zhu Sheng you met has already made arrangements.
Don't worry. By the way, have you finished writing your materials?" I asked.
"Zhao Ge, it's basically done," Hao Tao said, then took out a stack of papers from the room.
I glanced at them for a moment,
"Let's go. I'll look around on the way."
"By the way, are the doctor and Nurse still with us? I'm afraid something might happen on the road," Hao Tao said, looking at me.
This Hao Tao really fears death.
I smiled,
"Hao Tao, no need. After you arrive, Zhu Sheng will assign someone to take care of you.
We'll only have a three‑plus hour journey.
I asked Dean Yang, who said your health should be fine."
"That's good then, Zhao Ge, thank you for looking after me these past days," Hao Tao said, extending his hand.
"You're welcome,
Hao Tao, after this matter is settled,
still be a regular citizen living most comfortably." I shook Hao Tao's hand.
"Yeah, earning so much money, what's the point? Being alive is the most meaningful thing.
Through this, I've seen through the essence of society,
that we are merely tools used by others for Money Laundering,
and could be abandoned at any time," Hao Tao sighed.
"Mr. Zhao, get in, it's getting late," Li Jia said in the car.
"Let's go, we can chat in the car," I said to Hao Tao.
Hao Tao and I got into the car together.
Li Jia, driving, asked me,
"Mr. Zhao, where are we going in the Provincial Capital?"
"To Shunge Road No. 93 in the Provincial Capital, Zhu Sheng is waiting for us there," I said.
"Alright," Li Jia said, then floored the accelerator toward the Provincial Capital.
On the way, Hao Tao and I talked a lot.
This matter made Hao Tao see the Wang Family completely clearly.
He wants to live, to live freely,
must bring down the Wang Family, otherwise,
he will never be able to live under the sun.
Because he is alive, the Wang Family is always in danger; only his death would make the Wang Family feel safe.
I looked at the materials written by Hao Tao; he wrote them in great detail.
It detailed the Wang Family's overseas smuggling process and money‑laundering activities.
Especially, it listed exactly how much property the Wang Family had purchased overseas.
This can be said to be the most direct evidence of the Wang Family's crimes.
We had traveled for three hours,
and soon arrived at No. 93 Shunge Road.
This is a secret reception center in the provincial capital.
It is not open to the public.
Zhu Sheng greeted us at the door; otherwise we could not have entered at all.
After we parked the car,
I helped Hao Tao out of the vehicle,
Zhu Sheng looked at Hao Tao and said, "Hao Tao, your complexion is much better than the last time we saw you."
"Thank you for your care, Zhu Sheng," Hao Tao said, reaching out to shake his hand.
"Jianqiang, let's go to the meeting room," Zhu Sheng said, walking ahead.
We followed behind Zhu Sheng.
Inside a villa,
we saw several young people in black clothes standing there.
Zhu Sheng pointed at those young people and said, "They were sent from above to assist in investigating the Wang Family's affairs.
"Hao Tao, you need to tell these young people everything about the Wang Family's matters."
Soon two young men walked up to Hao Tao's side,
took Hao Tao from my hands,
one on each side supporting him.
"Zhu Sheng, I thought I was supposed to give my statement in the provincial capital."
Zhu Sheng shook his head and said,
"Hao Tao, no, you're going to Sijiucheng.
They'll take you away immediately. The higher authorities have formed a Special Investigation Team specifically to investigate the Wang Family.
This time they're serious.
Look at these people—they're young individuals specially selected from above, with no prior ties to the Wang Family.
Don't worry, Hao Tao.
Hao Tao was still somewhat panicked,
"Zhu Sheng, can't I give my statement here in the provincial capital? I'm afraid of going to Sijiucheng.
Because the Wang Family's influence is too strong.
I fear someone might have me killed there."
At that moment a young man said, "Mr. Hao, you don't need to worry.
You will face no danger.
Once we reach Sijiucheng, we'll first take you to a secret location for a physical examination.
To ensure you have no health issues.
Then you can gradually reveal what you know; when you need to identify someone, you'll appear then.
I want to tell you who is in charge of investigating the Wang Family,
so you can feel at ease." After the young man finished speaking,
he produced an identification document for Hao Tao to see.
then he leaned close to Hao Tao's ear and said something.
Hao Tao's face immediately broke into a smile,
"All right, it seems the higher-ups are really serious this time. I can finally relax.
I have already written a lot of material about the Wang Family.
Please take a look."
I then handed the materials written by Hao Tao to that young man.
The young man took them and glanced at them,
"Very good. These materials are important. Zhu Sheng, we won't stay here any longer.
We must return to Sijiucheng immediately."
Zhu Sheng said, "All right, Director Hu. Hao Tao is in your hands.
Please be careful on the road."
Director Hu shook hands with Zhu Sheng,
then shook hands with me and Li Jia respectively,
and they quickly left with Hao Tao.
After seeing them go,
I worriedly said to Zhu Sheng, "Zhu Sheng, are they reliable? What if, once they get to Sijiucheng,
Wang Ge finds out and has Hao Tao killed? That would be troublesome."
At that moment Zhu Sheng took out a cigarette and offered me one.
Then he said: "Jianqiang, your concern is not without reason."
But we are not handing Hao Tao over to the superiors.
How are we going to deal with it?
Can we, with our ability, catch Wang Ge?
Our current strength is too weak.
This time I went to Sijiucheng and have already met and talked with the main person in charge of the relevant department.
He clearly stated that this phenomenon currently existing in society.
We must curb the development of this phenomenon.
Moreover, we need to publicly deal with a few people; otherwise,
society will produce extreme dissatisfaction.
The superiors' intention is to use Wang Ge, Liu Yong, and Zheng Ge as negative examples.
You also see that the people the superiors are using this time are all young people."
