Chapter 226

However, despite this, I believe Xu Hongzhi will still do the surface work, so I just need to be careful at all times. That guy Zhang Longtao still has some tricks up his sleeve, and I still don't know how to tell Zhang Yinuo about this. After all, I am going to deal with her brother. Even if I hide it now, she will eventually have to know. If I wait until then to let her know, it will be even worse.

"Fourth, have you thought about how to deal with Zhang Longtao?" Xu Hongzhi asked me curiously.

"I plan to go directly and get straight to the point. There's no point in all those twists and turns!" I said indifferently.

Hearing my words, Xu Hongzhi gave me a thumbs up and said, "Awesome. Good, since you have the guts, I, as your Third Brother, will accompany you on this trip!"

Regarding Xu Hongzhi wanting to go, I didn't object. Xu Hongzhi's status itself was a form of deterrence. Bringing him along, while not safe, was also useful.

I had someone inquire, and Zhang Longtao was still in his old place, but it was hard to say when he would be there. So, at this time, I thought I would ask Zhang Yinuo, after all, she would have to know about this sooner or later.

When Zhang Yinuo heard that I wanted to ask about Zhang Longtao's whereabouts, she was also extremely surprised and said to me, "Are you trying to investigate what happened before?"

I nodded without speaking, indicating my attitude. Seeing my reaction, Zhang Yinuo sighed helplessly and said, "Since you are so persistent, I won't stop you. But I really don't know Zhang Longtao's whereabouts. I don't really keep in touch with him, and I don't want to deal with him!"

"Then do you have his contact information? The matter of Su Xueyan has dragged on for a long time, and I want to find him and ask clearly!" I said to Zhang Yinuo.

"I'm not sure about this. I haven't called this number for a long time. You can try calling it!" Zhang Yinuo found a number from her phone for me and then sent it to my phone.

Seeing this number, I was happy and prepared to dial it, but Zhang Yinuo poured cold water on me from the side: "Don't get your hopes up too high. I saved this number ten years ago. He probably changed his number long ago, who knows!"

"That's not necessarily true. It can be seen that your brother actually cares about you quite a bit; perhaps he hasn't changed it!" After saying that, I dialed Zhang Longtao's number, and it was answered before long.

"Who is this!" A male voice came from the other side. Although I hadn't heard Zhang Longtao's voice for a long time, I immediately recognized this voice that had haunted my dreams.

"It's me, Yang Yun!" I replied to Zhang Longtao simply and clearly.

"Yang Yun? I heard recently that you didn't die and popped back out. I originally thought those people were just bragging, but I didn't expect you to really not be dead!"

"Is it a disappointment to you?"

"It is indeed a bit disappointing. Did you come back to harass my sister again, you brat?"

"Uh, I didn't!" Zhang Longtao's sudden question left me stunned.

"You didn't? Hmph, then where did you get my number?"

I didn't say a word for a long time.

"What's the matter? Nothing to say, right? Yang Yun, let me tell you, if you dare to harass my sister again, I will kill you immediately!"

"Fine, since you want to kill me, find a place to meet tomorrow night at eight!"

"Since you are looking for death yourself, then don't blame me. It'll be on my turf, do you dare to come!"

Even so, Zhang Longtao was still very cautious. There was a reason he had been able to stand tall for so many years, but I wasn't afraid.

"Fine, I'll listen to you. Tomorrow night at eight, on your turf, we'll see each other there!"

After finishing, I hung up the phone. Zhang Yinuo, who was next to me, looked at me and said, "Do you really have to go and meet him?"

Seeing Zhang Yinuo's expression, I knew her current situation was the most awkward. On one side was me, and on the other was her family. She was caught in the middle, torn between the two. On the surface, it seemed like her relationship with Zhang Longtao was bad, but in reality, Zhang Longtao had always cared for her especially, and she wasn't so heartless that she wouldn't care if Zhang Longtao died.

I sighed, gritted my teeth, and said, "I'm sorry, but I must investigate the matter of Su Xueyan clearly!"

Seeing my persistence, Zhang Yinuo didn't say anything more.

Just at this moment, I suddenly received a call from Xu Hongzhi.

"What's wrong? Third Brother, is there something up?"

"Don't be surprised by what I'm about to say!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Aren't you going to deal with Zhang Longtao these few days? So I also specifically went to keep an eye on Zhang Longtao's recent movements. Guess who I found? You definitely won't expect this person!"

"Who is it?"

"Su Xueyan! I found Su Xueyan!"

Xu Hongzhi's surprised voice on the other side left me somewhat stunned, and then I shouted in disbelief, "What did you say? Is it true or false?"

"I couldn't have seen wrong, it must be Su Xueyan. But that person seems to not know me at all. I went to find her, and she treated me like a hooligan!"

Hearing Xu Hongzhi's words, I calmed my mood, thought for a moment, and said to him, "The person you saw couldn't be Su Xueya, could it? They look similar, you didn't mistake her, did you?"

"How could that be possible? Even if it were Su Xueya, she would know me. Besides, isn't Su Xueya in another city? How could she appear here!"

Xu Hongzhi's words were not unreasonable, but I still found it hard to believe: "At that time, you and I both watched Su Xueyan's funeral together!"

"Yes, I also think it's very incredible, but what I said is all true, I really saw it!"

"Oh, I see. Wait for me to go and meet Zhang Longtao tomorrow to see what kind of tricks this guy is playing!"

"What, you're going to see Zhang Longtao tomorrow? Is that confirmed?"

"Yes, I've already made an appointment with Zhang Longtao to see him on his turf tomorrow!"

"What? His turf? Fourth, aren't you being too arrogant? On someone else's turf, it won't be easy for us to take action. Even if Zhang Longtao isn't as strong as he used to be, he still has his foundation. On his turf, we won't get any advantage!"

"It's fine, I naturally have my own ideas. Third Brother, will you come with me then?"

When I said this to Xu Hongzhi, I wanted to force him to make a choice. If he came, he could hold his head high in front of his subordinates; if he didn't come, his image in front of his subordinates would definitely be damaged. Although I knew that even if he came with me, it wouldn't be of much use, I still wanted him to come because I still preferred to believe that Third Brother was still my old Third Brother, not the current Xu Hongzhi. A bond of brotherhood doesn't come easily. If possible, it's best to continue it; if he has really changed, then there's nothing I can do.
