Chapter 2145: Something

Zhong Shikun ate a few bites without much appetite, then stood up. "Chairman Zhou, President Yao, I still have some matters to attend to. Please, take your time."

"Go on then!" Zhou Andong nodded.

Yao Jun watched Zhong Shikun leave in a hurry and couldn't help but laugh. "Why did you scare him like that?"

Zhou Andong picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. "He's no good either. I was being merciful by not scaring him to death."

In his previous life, Zhong Shikun had gotten a waitress pregnant. The girl wasn't old—only nineteen at the time—and had been working at the Beishan Hotel for less than a year.

Zhong Shikun was the general manager of the Beishan Hotel and a minor celebrity in Jiangzhou. At the time, the incident had caused quite a stir and became a common topic of gossip for many people after their meals.

The result was that Zhong Shikun was dismissed from his post. In the end, no one knew if the guy had divorced or which department he was transferred to. As for the girl, she had an abortion, took 50,000 in compensation, and disappeared.

Actually, this incident wasn't an unforgivable crime, but the girl was only nineteen, and it was said she came from the countryside and was naive about the world.

Zhong Shikun was old enough to be her father, yet he tricked her into bed and got her pregnant. He was truly a piece of work.

Of course, if Zhong Shikun hadn't been so nosy and insisted on hovering around Zhou Andong, Zhou Andong wouldn't have been bored enough to go out of his way to scare him.

Yao Jun asked, "Are you heading back to the Group?"

"Back to the Group!" Zhou Andong checked the time. "The municipal TV tower, the Daily, and the Evening News have promised to report it, but they absolutely won't report the identities of Yin Mo and his group. We have to have our Group's TV station do that."

Yao Jun said with a smile, "But the influence is limited to just our Jiangzhou. Do we need to find Old Guan?"

"Finding Old Guan is useless." Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and tossed one to Yao Jun. "Old Guan can't help with this matter; their leadership would never agree to it."

Let's put it this way: this matter can't be published in the People's Daily or by CCTV. Even your sister-in-law's grandfather wouldn't agree to it. But aside from the People's Daily and CCTV, other media outlets are fine."

Yao Jun asked, "Then who do you want to find?"

"Naturally, media outlets with significant influence." Zhou Andong lit his cigarette with a lighter. "For example, the Yangcheng Evening News; their national circulation is among the top."

Yao Jun was stunned for a moment, then reacted. "Uncle Jian has already gone to Guangdong Province to report, right?"

"He went a long time ago." Zhou Andong leaned lazily against the back of his chair. "After the Yangcheng Evening News reports it, I'll give the Youth Daily a heads-up and have them reprint it."

Yao Jun asked, confused, "Why not let the Youth Daily report it directly?"

Zhou Andong shook his head. "The Youth Daily is a national-level newspaper, and its headquarters is in the capital. If they dared to report it, how could the Yin family let it go? But if they reprint the report, the Youth Daily won't be under as much pressure. Even if the Yin family comes looking for trouble, they'll have an excuse."

Yao Jun said with great regret, "Outside media can report it, but our provincial media can't. Thinking about it, I'm really not reconciled."

"There's nothing to be unreconciled about." Zhou Andong said with a smile, "The Yangcheng Evening News and the Youth Daily are distributed nationally; they can be bought anywhere. As long as one person sees it, such explosive news will definitely spread quickly."

The two chatted, finished their cigarettes, and stood up to walk outside.

Wang Wentian and Shen Weiming were also staying here; the two had gotten up early and had already gone out after eating.

Zhou Andong walked out of the hotel gate and looked up at the still gloomy sky.

"This rain is going to keep falling."

The expression on Yao Jun's face was very serious. "The terrain of the old brewery staff quarters is relatively low-lying. Most of the staff have moved upstairs, but there's still a portion who stayed there because their children are in school."

Speaking of this, Yao Jun looked at Zhou Andong. "The houses there are decades old, and many are still adobe houses. If they get flooded and the houses collapse, if people get buried, the situation will be huge."

Zhou Andong asked, "Have you moved over there?"

"Didn't you say we needed to let off some steam? We weren't in a hurry to move over." Yao Jun said, "But the current situation doesn't allow for living there anymore. I'll move today. Anyway, everything is there; we just need to go over."

Zhou Andong asked, "Are there still tenants over there?"

"Not many!" Yao Jun pondered for a moment. "As far as I know, it's only about thirty or fifty households, all of them from out of town, doing small business here."

Zhou Andong pondered and said, "I have to make arrangements when I get back; have the brewery staff move upstairs immediately. As for the tenants, we need to discuss this with the district; find them a place to stay for a few days."

At this moment, Wang Wentian drove the car over. Zhou Andong waved at Yao Jun. "I'm off!"

At the same time, downstairs at the Yugong Liquor Industry factory building, two police officers were taking statements from Lian Kai, the security section chief, and the two big men.

There were three other police officers; one was checking the punctured tires, and one was taking photos with a camera.

There was another one, who looked very young, standing outside the passenger window of the Crown, looking inside, and then his face changed.

"Huang Wei!"

The police officer who was taking photos looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Come over and take a look." The young police officer didn't say anything, just gave a wink.

Huang Wei immediately knew something was up and walked over.

The young police officer said softly, "Look at what's in the car!"

Huang Wei leaned on the car window to look inside and saw a snake-skin bag on the seat. The zipper wasn't pulled tight, and he could clearly see a handgun and a hand grenade inside the bag. Moreover, vaguely, there were quite a few other things inside.

Huang Wei's face also changed instantly. He turned and walked to the side of the police officer who was checking the tires and whispered in his ear.

"Old Li, there's a new situation!"

Old Li was stunned. "What new situation?"

Huang Wei glanced at the two big men. "On the passenger seat of the Crown car, there's a snake-skin bag with guns and hand grenades inside."

Old Li stood up with a start and asked with a serious face, "Are you sure?"

Huang Wei nodded. "I shouldn't have misread it."

Old Li walked over quickly, leaned on the car window to look inside, and then raised his head to whisper a few words to the young police officer and Huang Wei.

"Chang Kezhang Zhang!" Huang Wei shouted.

Security Chang Kezhang Zhang Qinghe looked over, and Huang Wei beckoned to him.

Zhang Qinghe walked over quickly. "Brother Huang, what's the matter?"

"There are guns and hand grenades in this car." Huang Wei instructed softly, "Hurry up and gather a few people to cooperate with us and control those two first."

Zhang Qinghe had also heard about the conflict between Chairman Gu and Yin Mo, but the Chairman's attitude decided everything, so naturally, he wouldn't say anything and was quite polite to the two big men.

It wasn't just him; several other security guards had accompanied the two big men drinking until midnight, got them drunk, and then carried them to the beds in the security section lounge.

Now, guns and hand grenades were actually discovered in their car; he couldn't help but be nervous. After all, Chairman Gu had had a conflict with them; who knew what these guys would do.

Zhang Qinghe didn't hesitate, turned around, and entered the factory building, and soon came out with more than ten people.

Huang Wei instructed Zhang Qinghe softly, "Those two guys might have weapons on them. Once we make a move, we must control them and not give them a chance to struggle."

"They don't have weapons on them." Zhang Qinghe said in a low voice, "We were drinking together last night; they got drunk, and we carried them to the security section lounge to sleep."

Huang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. "That makes it easy to handle."

"Leave it to us." Zhang Qinghe smiled along. "Captain Han, you take people to control them."

"No problem!" Captain Han nodded and took his people over.

The section chief and deputy section chief of the security section were formal employees of the brewery, but the captain and security guards were all dispatched by Jin Dun Security.

Captain Han gave a wink to a security guard beside him. The two came behind the big men and simultaneously raised their feet, kicking hard into the bends of their legs.

With a cry of "Mom!", the two big men, caught completely off guard, fell to their knees on the ground with a thud.

Then, the other security guards quickly controlled them and pressed them to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

The two guys struggled desperately and roared, "Do you know who we are?"

The police officer taking statements was also a bit confused, not knowing what had happened.

Huang Wei and Old Chen took out handcuffs and cuffed the two big men.

"Guns were found in their car."

Old Chen let out a long breath and explained.

Huang Wei felt around in their pockets and took out two keys; one was a Mitsubishi, and the other was exactly the Crown's.

Huang Wei took the keys, opened the Crown car, and lifted the snake-skin bag; he almost threw out his back—it was too heavy.

He lifted the snake-skin bag out, carefully placed it on the ground, and the moment he pulled the zipper, everyone felt their heartbeats skip a few beats.

Inside, there were five handguns alone, more than a dozen hand grenades, two Type 81 assault rifles, one submachine gun, one AK, and some ammunition.

The two big men were also dumbfounded. Their boss did indeed have guns, and even a private gun vault.

But this time, they really didn't bring this stuff. Even if they had, they wouldn't have put it on the passenger seat so blatantly, right? Immediately after, the two understood: they had been set up.

"You guys have guts."

The two guys sneered at Lian Kai. They called the police last night, but the police didn't come, and then they got them drunk; it was clearly to buy time to set this up.

However, they weren't afraid at all, because with their boss's status and background, no matter who set them up, they would definitely die a miserable death.

"Do you know who my boss is?" One big man sneered at Huang Wei and the others. "I advise you to let us go, honestly find the person who punctured the tires. If you are obsessed and insist on following Zhou Andong to the end, you will definitely regret it."

"Regret what?" Zhou Andong's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
