Chapter 2680

There is no wall that doesn't leak in the world. 'Leopard of Money' was well humiliated this time. He asked 'Golden Wolf' and 'Wild Wolf', who witnessed this incident with their own eyes, not to say anything about it, and secretly investigated the identities of Han Wu and the others, ready to retaliate at any time. However, this news eventually leaked out. 'Leopard of Money' was beaten by a group of people. This was a huge piece of news in the Xijing underworld. For a time, everyone in this circle started to talk about it. It didn't take long before it reached Tong Lan's ears.

When Tong Lan heard that 'Leopard of Money' was blocked on the road in the middle of the night and beaten for no reason, this news made her feel extremely shocked, but also made her feel puzzled. Tong Lan had known 'Leopard of Money', the boss of the underworld, since she and her husband ran a dance hall more than ten years ago. At that time, 'Leopard of Money' was already a famous hoodlum in Xijing, and no one dared to provoke him, let alone move against him. And in the years since she followed this old hoodlum personally, she had never heard of anyone who dared to be disrespectful to him. Only this old guy bullied others, and no one dared to provoke him. Even Sun Maomao, the second generation of officials, although he set up his own portal and mixed in Xijing, at most he was disrespectful to 'Leopard of Money' in words, and didn't dare to tear his face with him at all. And the incident happened on a certain day after she was tortured by 'Leopard of Money'. Coupled with the fact that she also heard that the group of people who ambushed 'Leopard of Money' were fully disguised with hats and masks, the coincidence in time and the abnormality of this group of people made her couldn't help but think of one person—Zhao Desan.

Thinking of everything Zhao Desan did for her, Tong Lan at this time felt very deeply and complicated! The humiliation of 'Leopard of Money' and Zhao Desan's counterattack against him for her made her heart fluctuate. Although she didn't ask Zhao Desan to do anything for her, finally there was a man willing to maintain her from her perspective. It was as if a lonely little boat was sailing in the dark sea, and suddenly encountered a big ship escorting it.

And at this time, Zhao Desan was chatting with Tong Xiaoli in the office to pass the time when he had nothing to do. The phone suddenly rang. He picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Tong Lan calling, so he guessed the purpose of her calling.

In front of Tong Xiaoli, it was not easy to say anything to Tong Lan on the phone. Picking up the mobile phone, Zhao Desan deliberately walked out of the office and reached the outside of the office building before answering the phone: "Hey! Sister Tong, looking for me for something?"

"Nothing much." Zhao Desan's question made Tong Lan feel a little speechless. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Are... are you at work?"

"Yes, at the unit. Sister Tong, that old guy didn't find you, did he?" Zhao Desan took the initiative to pull the topic to 'Leopard of Money'.

"No... didn't find me." Tong Lan smiled faintly and said, "But I... I can't live in the hotel forever, right?" In Tong Lan's view, if she kept hiding like this, she would be found by 'Leopard of Money' sooner or later.

"Sister Tong, you just stay in the hotel for a period of time, let me think of a way. This matter will definitely not make you difficult. Rest assured..." Zhao Desan comforted her emotions. He had also been thinking of ways these two days, how to handle this matter more perfectly, but he hadn't thought of any better way for the time being.

"Alright then... I'll listen to you first." Tong Lan reluctantly agreed to Zhao Desan, was silent for a moment, and tentatively said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, do you know that 'Leopard of Money' was beaten?"

"Is that so?" Zhao Desan was the mastermind behind this incident. Regarding Tong Lan's words, his reaction was naturally a bit indifferent.

"Hmm." Tong Lan hummed, smiled faintly, and said: "Alright, Comrade Xiao Zhao, you are at work, I won't disturb your work. If you are free in the next two days, I want to see you, I... I miss you..." Now for Tong Lan, Zhao Desan was her warm harbor, and she had already bet everything on her future on him.

Tong Lan didn't say much in this phone call, mainly to probe Zhao Desan's reaction to the incident of 'Leopard of Money' being attacked, which exploded in the Xijing underworld. From his calm performance, Tong Lan confirmed her guess that this incident was definitely done by Zhao Desan, and the only reason he did this was for her. Tong Lan felt very moved in her heart, and a warm current was flowing in her body, making her feel inexplicably happy.

After answering the phone, as soon as Zhao Desan returned to the office, he was rolled his eyes by Tong Xiaoli, who said in a frivolous tone: "Running outside to answer a phone call, there must be something shameful!"

Zhao Desan knew that Tong Xiaoli had some feelings for him, and she must be a little jealous. He used his foolproof trick—grinning and saying: "What's wrong? Jealous?"

"Forget it! I'm not!" Tong Xiaoli blushed slightly and rolled her eyes at him, denying it angrily, but the expression clearly had a meaning of 'there is no silver three hundred taels here'.

Zhao Desan chuckled, walked back to the desk and sat down, stared at Tong Xiaoli with that kind of malicious look for a while, and then found a topic to chat with Tong Xiaoli. At this time, Zhao Desan felt beautiful in his heart. From Tong Lan's action of calling just now, he understood the meaning of that young woman. Although he didn't directly admit that he did that thing, he understood that Tong Lan was a smart woman and would definitely understand that he did it entirely for her. In this way, presumably Tong Lan must be moved to tears at this moment. What can move a woman most is a man's willingness to do anything for her. Zhao Desan confidently believed that after this incident, Tong Lan would definitely like him even more in her heart. Zhao Desan, who was dizzy with the victory of hunting beauty, seemed to have forgotten the clouds of the incident where Zhao Da was beaten.

After get off work this afternoon, Zhao Desan didn't leave immediately as usual, but waited for Tong Xiaoli to leave, and sat in the office alone thinking about things, pondering how to arrange Tong Lan's life next. She couldn't hide like this for a lifetime, right? And Gao Haiping, who had been coveting Zhao Desan's director position, started to observe Zhao Desan secretly in his daily work, looking for his weaknesses and handles. After get off work this day, he didn't leave the unit either, and had been staring at Zhao Desan's whereabouts secretly. When the people in the unit were almost gone, this guy once again quietly approached the door of Zhao Desan's office and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the movement inside.

"I want to have a home, a home with a warm embrace..." Just as he was pondering Tong Lan's matter with his brows furrowed, Zhao Desan's mobile phone rang with music, interrupting his deep thought. Looking down, he saw that the phone actually displayed 'Zheng Jie's' number. He didn't know how long it had been since he received Zheng Jie's call. Today she suddenly took the initiative to call, was there something wrong? Thinking of this, Zhao Desan immediately became nervous, quickly picked up the phone and answered: "Hey! Sister-in-law..."

"..." There was no sound on the phone.

"Hey!" Zhao Desan raised his voice and said 'Hey'.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry, it was Nini playing with my phone and accidentally dialed you." Only then did Zheng Jie's voice come from the phone.

"Oh... Sister-in-law, how have you been lately?" Zhao Desan chuckled and asked with concern.

"Very good." Zheng Jie answered with a smile, "Are... are you doing well at work?"
