306. Chapter 306: Liang Xiaotang

A flash of imperceptible amusement flickered in Du Housheng's eyes at this moment, then he feigned concern and asked, "Do you think these two matters are related?"

Rao Tiansong exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "They are forcing me to hand over the accounts, perhaps suspecting me of embezzling public funds, so they grabbed—"

"Are you sure?" Du Housheng continued to ask.

"This is just one possibility. They didn't answer."

Rao Tiansong raised his voice, then added helplessly, "Or maybe that brat took some pills and got into trouble, or perhaps it really is a kidnapping for ransom; in any case, anything could happen, otherwise I wouldn't have had to call the Police."

Rao Tiansong's financial ability might be very strong, but his other abilities appeared quite mediocre.

A person like him was only suited to be a high-level executive in a company, responsible for financial matters, rather than being pushed out to be a Boss.

His psychological endurance was very poor; if it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't have chosen the desperate measure of calling the Police.

After a moment of silence, Rao Tiansong said to Du Housheng, "Have you had anyone investigate?"

"Yes, I hired a private investigator," Du Housheng nodded and said.

"Your people are more discreet; I don't want to blow this matter out of proportion," Rao Tiansong instructed.

Du Housheng nodded and said, "Understood."

Having stayed in the New Territories for two days, Chen Jiajun had more or less briefed Lu Hantao on the situation.

Fortunately, Lu Hantao was not senile; at the very least, he could still listen to his daughter's words.

So, the relationship between the two and Chen Jiajun had eased somewhat.

To be honest, after seeing the information provided by Chen Jiajun, Lu Hantao was also left with lingering fear.

If he had really let someone like Rao Tiansong enter the Lu Guo Group, he truly dared not imagine what kind of things would have happened later.

Don't look at Lu Hantao as the highly respected Elder Lu in the New Territories; in the end, he was just a countryman with insufficient insight.

Regarding the treacherous clouds and waves outside, they were simply not adept at handling them.

When the time came, the only ones to suffer would be his own simple-minded villagers.

After settling things with Lu Hantao, Chen Jiajun returned to the company, but before he could even sit still, Ya Qi came over in high spirits.

"Boss, Boss. I discovered something interesting," Ya Qi said with an excited face.

"What matter has you so excited?" Chen Jiajun asked with some curiosity.

Ya Qi said mysteriously, "You would never guess; it's even more exciting than watching a blockbuster from the United States."

"If you keep me in suspense, believe it or not, I'll slap you?" Chen Jiajun said irritably.

Ya Qi immediately straightened his expression and said, "Just the night before last, Rao Tiansong's son, Rao Xia, went missing."

"That lousy rapper? The one who's been caught by the Police several times?" Chen Jiajun paused and said.

"That's right, that's the kid," Ya Qi sneered and said, "Those paparazzi all call him some kind of young master of the entertainment industry."

"He's not worth a fart as a young master; he just has a good father," Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Get to the point. This kid is missing? Was he kidnapped by those people behind Rao Tiansong?"

"At first I thought so too, but—" a strange smile appeared on Ya Qi's face as he said, "The truth is exactly the opposite. Those people only wanted to scare Rao Tiansong, but the one who actually took action is someone else."

"What do you mean? There are others?" Chen Jiajun frowned and said.

Ya Qi nodded and said, "You would never guess; the one who actually took action is someone by Rao Tiansong's side."

"Who?"

"His Lawyer, Du Housheng."

"A Lawyer?" Chen Jiajun was stunned upon hearing this: "A perfectly good high-profile Lawyer, why would he kidnap Rao Tiansong's son? Has he lost his mind?"

A high-profile Lawyer is a very lucrative role in Hong Kong; just helping Rao Tiansong with this lawsuit would bring in at least seven figures, which is much faster than kidnapping. Even if he wanted to make money, he wouldn't need to use this method.

Ya Qi said excitedly, "The point is with this Du Housheng. This guy's personality is just too interesting. On the surface, he is a high-profile Lawyer, and the very standard type of litigation shark. As long as he can make money, he will take any case. And he can win them."

"So in a short period of time, he went from an obscure little Lawyer to the position of partner in a law firm."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Normal, and then?"

"But this guy seems to have some kind of moral germaphobia," Ya Qi said with a smile, "As long as the scum he helps win a lawsuit, they will die an unnatural death shortly after. He will take action himself to punish those who are guilty."

"So twisted?" Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "Isn't this just being hypocritical?"

"Yes, but this guy thinks he is upholding justice. In his own way," Ya Qi said with a smile, "This guy's personality is just too interesting."

"A crazy Lawyer," Chen Jiajun also sighed with emotion, "So he kidnapped Rao Xia intending to punish Rao Tiansong?"

Ya Qi nodded and said, "I'm afraid so. He has probably guessed what kind of trash Rao Tiansong and the people behind him are, so he is preparing to let them tear each other apart."

"I reckon that even if Rao Tiansong hands over the money from the Lu Guo Group, he probably won't see his son again."

Chen Jiajun changed to a comfortable position and said, "Since this guy dares to do this, he must be confident. I estimate that in the coming period, he will constantly provoke Rao Tiansong, then force him to go to war with the people behind him. That would kill two birds with one stone."

"That's great, saves us from having to do it ourselves," Ya Qi said with a smile.

This Lawyer's line of thinking was exactly the same as Chen Jiajun's; both intended to use Rao Tiansong and those money-laundering guys behind him to tear each other apart.

It's just that this guy did it more ruthlessly and more thoroughly.

However, with things this way, Chen Jiajun didn't need to worry and could just let the matter continue to develop.

So Chen Jiajun turned his gaze to Mo Yilie: "How is it over at Su Xingbai's side?"

"This kid finally got revenge for his broken leg," Ya Qi shook his head and said, "But his actions this time were quite risky; I don't know if the kid can hold up."

Su Xingbai used the business on Wind Street to viciously screw over Mo Weili.

Through his cooperation with Liang Xiaotang, he directly raided Yifeng's brothel.

But that bastard Mo Weili was despicable enough to lure underage girls out to work in the brothel.

He even fed these girls drugs; that son of a bitch deserved to die.

Just as Mo Weili was about to fall into the hands of the Police, Su Xingbai killed his way out and took Mo Weili from the Police.

Then he directly drove a car and crushed Mo Weili's leg.

Resulting in Mo Weili becoming a vegetable, likely to be bedridden for the rest of his life.

It just so happened that Mo Yilie returned to Hong Kong at this time, so naturally, he would not let off anyone involved in this matter.

Originally, he had intended to issue a gangland kill order and planned to deal with Su Xingbai, but he did not expect that Su Xingbai, who had been hiding for many days, would take the initiative to appear at Mo Yilie's Poon Choi Feast.

"Take him inside first; I will be there in a moment," Mo Yilie said indifferently to his subordinates.

The subordinates took Su Xingbai into a small room in the ancestral hall and, without a word, gave him a sound beating.

After all, Mo Weili was Su Xingbai's Big Brother; even if these people did not know that Su Xingbai had broken Mo Weili's leg, abandoning one's Big Brother and disappearing was still grounds for a beating.

After Mo Yilie entered, he raised his hand to stop his subordinates, sat down with a glass of red wine, and said, "The night the incident happened, where the hell did you die?"

"Lie Ge—" Su Xingbai just wanted to speak.

Mo Yilie's right-hand man, Tank, punched Su Xingbai in the stomach and said viciously, "Is 'Lie Ge' something you can call him?"

"That's enough." Mo Yilie stopped Tank again, then said to Su Xingbai, "What do you have to say?"

"That night at the Pier, I was preparing to run away by boat with Weili Ge. During that time, I went to use the restroom. When I came back, I saw Weili Ge lying on the ground, covered in blood." Su Xingbai endured the pain and spoke in broken sentences.

Mo Yilie said coldly, "He was lying on the ground, and you didn't go to save him? Isn't he your Big Brother?"

"At that time, the Police had already arrived; if I had gone out, I would have been arrested just the same. After the Police left, I boarded the boat and went to Thailand," Su Xingbai argued.

At this moment, La Jiang, who was on the side, scolded, "If you have nothing to hide, why didn't you make a single phone call back?"

"I did call you, La Jiang Ge, but it went to your voicemail," Su Xingbai said with a look of grievance.

La Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said to Mo Yilie, "After the incident, we all switched to burner SIM cards for fear of being wiretapped by the Police. I'll go check the voicemail right now."

Seeing La Jiang go to check the voicemail, Su Xingbai continued, "Lie Ge, I didn't go to save Weili Ge because I had no choice. I wasn't trying to save my own skin, but to protect the company's assets."

As he spoke, Su Xingbai pointed directly at a travel bag nearby.

Mo Yilie gave a look, and Tank immediately opened the bag to check.

To his surprise, it was filled with rolls of banknotes.

Su Xingbai continued, "These millions were taken by Weili Ge from the company's safe. I kept them with me because I didn't want them to be confiscated by the Police."

Tank nodded and said, "Lie Ge, there are indeed millions here. He doesn't look like a mole; otherwise, he would have run away with this money long ago."

Subsequently, La Jiang also confirmed, "Lie Ge, this kid did indeed call back. And A Chao still hasn't shown his face; I feel the mole is likely him."

Mo Yilie smiled and stood up.

He patted Su Xingbai's face and said, "Does it still hurt?"

"It's nothing," Su Xingbai said hurriedly.

Mo Yilie nodded and said, "Good, wash your face, change your clothes, and come out to eat with me."

Afterward, he picked up the money and said, "This money was originally gone, but now it's back. Everyone can split it; following me in the future will earn you more than just this."

After the Poon Choi Feast, Su Xingbai had essentially succeeded halfway.

But he knew in his heart that he had not completely cleared the hurdle.

This time, by messing with Mo Weili, he had also played his partner Liang Xiaotang for a fool.

Given that guy's personality, he would absolutely not let him off.

Moreover, that guy had been an Undercover for so many years and knew very well how to deal with a hoodlum.

It was very likely he would spread rumors again to make Mo Yilie suspicious of him once more.

Therefore, after leaving the Poon Choi Feast, he began to consider a solution.

Just as Su Xingbai was pondering, Ya Qi walked into the Restaurant at some point, sat directly opposite him, and said with a smile, "Congratulations on clearing the hurdle again. But don't you think what you did was a bit risky? With the methods of a guy like Mo Yilie, he might have killed you directly before you even opened your mouth."

Su Xingbai smiled and said, "I had no choice. If I didn't do that, I'm afraid I would hardly have a chance for revenge. But it can be considered a blessing in disguise; just now at the banquet, Mo Yilie said my name, and perhaps I will be able to rise in the ranks soon."

"Not bad, your methods are truly not bad," Ya Qi said sincerely.

To be honest, Ya Qi had not seen many brainy hoodlums, but Su Xingbai was definitely among the best.

It was no wonder his own Boss valued this kid so much.

Su Xingbai shook his head and said, "You flatter me, but I didn't handle this matter too well. The loose ends weren't cleaned up, and there might be trouble later."

"Oh? Why?" Ya Qi asked with some curiosity.

Su Xingbai did not hide it and said directly, "Because that Police officer named Liang Xiaotang—I estimate he will come looking for me soon."

"Oh, you played him for a fool, right?" Ya Qi then remembered that this kid had once collaborated with a cop to break the deadlock, which was indeed a very risky thing to do. "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Su Xingbai bit his straw and nodded, "I already have some ideas, but the risk is too great. And after this, I will definitely be tied to La Jiang."

Ya Qi shook his head and said, "I can't help you with that; all I can provide is intelligence and money."

Su Xingbai sighed and said, "Then give me a sum of money. I estimate that after I rise in the ranks, I'll need to open a hall and recruit people; I don't have much money left on me."

"How much?"

"One million," Su Xingbai thought for a moment and stated a number.

Ya Qi did not waste words, took out a card, handed it to Su Xingbai, and said, "Find out about Mo Yilie's shipment as soon as possible; the Boss is already getting impatient."

"I know," Su Xingbai put away the card and said seriously, "Mo Yilie is definitely here to sell goods this time. Now that the bigger drug lords in Hong Kong have all been taken out by the Boss, it is the perfect opportunity for him to show his stuff. I will seize this opportunity."

"Very good, I won't disturb you chatting with your little girlfriend." Seeing the girl walk in at the door, Ya Qi winked at Su Xingbai, smiled, and left directly.

On the other side, Rao Tiansong was on the verge of a breakdown.

Du Housheng was not only a good Lawyer but also a psychologist; he was very skilled at creating psychological pressure on people.

Under Du Housheng's constant stimulation, Rao Tiansong prayed to gods and Buddhas all day, wanting to get news of his son.

Later, after the Police made Rao Tiansong go to the morgue to identify a body, which caused Rao Tiansong to vomit on the spot, this guy finally exploded.

With his heart suppressed to the extreme, and after Du Housheng's subtle hints that Zhan Baida was the one playing tricks,

this guy acted like he had gone mad, took his bodyguards, and blocked Zhan Baida halfway.

"Give me back my son, give me back my son!" After roaring at Zhan Baida, Rao Tiansong pulled out a Shotgun and fired a shot at Zhan Baida's car.

Fortunately, Zhan Baida dodged relatively quickly, which was why he wasn't blasted to death by Rao Tiansong's shot. (End of chapter)
