Chapter 403: Sealing the Star Moon Bar

Tang Kun had come back by taxi. When Chen Yang and Zheng Yun picked him up, he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, looking left and right, afraid of being recognized. Even after getting into Chen Yang's car, he remained cautious.

Chen Yang was amused by his sneaky appearance and reminded him: 'My car has privacy glass; as long as you don't open the window, outsiders can't see you.'

'You should have said so earlier!' Tang Kun exclaimed, immediately taking off his mask, then said to Chen Yang: 'Did you bring the money?'

Chen Yang opened the box he had prepared in advance, which contained one million yuan in cash, and showed it to him. The other's eyes instantly gleamed with greed.

Chen Yang quickly closed the box and said: 'You've already seen the money; now it's time for you to tell me the information I want.'

Tang Kun reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the money box and told Chen Yang: 'The Star Moon Bar opposite the Red Romantic Bar is actually property of the Zhang family. Zhang Jun told me that the bar's owner once saved his father's life, which is why he let him manage that property.'

Chen Yang said: 'I already knew that the Star Moon Bar belongs to the Zhang family; can you tell me something I don't know?'

Tang Kun didn't expect Chen Yang to also know that the Star Moon Bar is Zhang family property, and he gaped in surprise. This secret was something he had overheard from the Zhang family's conversation.

But he quickly figured it out. Lin Jianguo is the chief of Qingshui City Public Security Bureau, and as his son-in-law, Chen Yang can easily investigate Zhang Daguo's background.

He then continued: 'There are drugs and sex trades in the Star Moon Bar. I heard Zhang Jun say that the bar has private rooms on the second floor, which they specifically use for illegal transactions.'

Chen Yang seriously asked Tang Kun: 'How can you prove that what you just said isn't a lie to me?'

Tang Kun thought Chen Yang was trying to wriggle out, and anxiously said: 'Lin Wei's father is the public security bureau chief; just have him send people to investigate and you'll know.'

Chen Yang called Lin Feng and relayed Tang Kun's exact words to him.

Since it wasn't dark yet, Chen Yang had Zheng Yun drive the car to Old Folk Meat Industry Limited Company. After they had dinner there, Chen Yang told Tang Kun to keep waiting in the car for news.

'Chen Yang, you won't go back on your word, will you?' Tang Kun looked at Chen Yang with a tense expression. Since helping Zhang Jun devise the idea to give Chen Yang a laxative, their relationship has deteriorated. If it weren't for the temptation of one million, he really wouldn't want to come back to Qingshui City.

Chen Yang smiled: 'I'm a man of my word. Although I don't like you, as long as the information you provide is true, I won't short you a single cent.'

Tang Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He assured Chen Yang: 'Rest assured, this information is definitely reliable. A few days ago, I even went to play at their branch in Xingcheng.'

'They have a branch in Xingcheng too?' Chen Yang immediately became intensely interested, because this was a secret he didn't even know in his previous life.

If the Star Moon Bar indeed involves illegal transactions, Lin Feng's action is likely to alert the Xingcheng side as well. Since we aim to cripple Zhang Daguo's arm, we must do it thoroughly.

Thus, Chen Yang had Zheng Yun monitor Tang Kun in the car, while he returned to the office and called Chen Bing.

'Brother Bing, the Zhang Group has opened a Star Moon Bar in Xingcheng, which may involve illegal transactions.'

'Chen Yang, the Star Moon Bar is outside my jurisdiction. To investigate them, my old man needs to step in.'

'By the way, Uncle Lin today urgently dispatched a team from the province to Qingshui City; could this also be related to the matter?'

'Yes, Zhang Daguo also opened a Star Moon Bar in Qingshui City. According to the information I received, there indeed are drug trafficking and sex trades inside.'

'Alright then, I'll first communicate with my old man! Wait for my news.'

After hanging up, Chen Yang immediately called Lin Feng again, informing him that Zhang Daguo also had a Star Moon Bar in Xingcheng. He also told him that he had entrusted Chen Bing to investigate that Star Moon Bar.

Lin Feng told Chen Yang not to rush, saying he would coordinate with Chen Bing before taking action.

Chen Yang knew that being anxious now would be useless, so he simply lay back in the boss's chair to rest with his eyes closed.

About two hours later, Lin Feng's call came through. His voice was very excited: 'Chen Yang, the information provided by your classmate is basically true; the city bureau has jointly sealed the Star Moon Bar with provincial department comrades.'

Five minutes later, Chen Bing's call also came through: 'Chen Yang, your information is very accurate; the provincial department comrades have already sealed the Star Moon Bar. The related criminal suspects have all been apprehended!'

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was in high spirits.

Zhang Daguo had just acquired four plots of land; if his economic source is cut off, developing any of them will be very difficult.

In a pleasant mood, Chen Yang returned to his car.

He handed the box containing one million yuan to Tang Kun and asked: 'This one million, how do you plan to use it?'

Tang Kun clutched the money box tightly, afraid it might fly away if he wasn't careful. He told Chen Yang: 'I plan to go back to Xingcheng to continue working. I'll return to my hometown only after Zhang Daguo no longer suspects me.'

Chen Yang wasn't worried that Tang Kun would sell him out after returning to Xingcheng, because the fact that the Star Moon Bar is Zhang Daguo's private property was information Tang Kun provided. If the news leaked, Zhang Daguo would tear him apart in minutes.

At the same time, Zhang Daguo, who was drinking with Zhou Zixin, received the news that the Star Moon Bar had been sealed, and he flew into a rage, slamming the table.

'Lin Jianguo, you bastard, I won't let this rest!'

'Director Zhang, what happened? Why are you overreacting?'

'Boss Zhou, my enterprise in Qingshui City has been sealed by the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau.'

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zixin's face also darkened. Because Zhang Daguo had just said he would give him some shares, but in an instant those shares went up in smoke.

'What is Lin Jianguo trying to do? Does he really think Qingshui City is the Lin family's backyard?'

Zhang Daguo, with a sorrowful expression, told Zhou Zixin: 'Boss Zhou, Lin Jianguo relies on his position as public security bureau chief to act lawlessly. In just half a year, he has already sealed two of my bars.'

'Lin Jianguo shouldn't be like that!' Zhou Zixin, although in a bad mood, still kept his composure and boldly guessed: 'This must be the idea of that brat Chen Yang behind the scenes.'

After saying that, he quickly picked up the phone: 'Hey, help me investigate the boss of Old Folk Agricultural Products Trading Company, Chen Yang; the more detailed the information, the better!'

Seeing Zhou Zixin willing to step in to resolve the Star Moon Bar issue, Zhang Daguo's mood brightened greatly.

Although Lin Jianguo is the Qingshui City Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary and Public Security Bureau Chief, the top leader of Qingshui City is Zhou Zhixiang.

As long as Zhou Zhixiang does not agree to seal the Star Moon Bar, Lin Jianguo dares not voice any objection.
