172 Chui Chui, I Love You! (1/2)
In the other side of the hall.
”Weiguo, it's already past 8, why isn't Dali here yet?” Hong Jianye's face was full of nervousness. ”This is his coming of age ceremony, being late will leave a bad impression on him. Quite a number of guests are already impatient.”
It was a very rude thing towards the guests for the male character not to appear on his coming of age ceremony.
Hong Weiguo insipidly looked at his fourth brother, Hong Jianye, smiled and said, ”Relax, he will settle things over at his side very quickly. I believe in him.” Saying so, he looked at one of the people in the crowd. ”Don't you agree, Chief Dong?”
”That's indeed the case.” Vice-Chief Zhang from the sub-department had already informed him about the matter regarding Ling Xiaoyi, so he was aware of the situation. ”I heard that this matter was because of Ling Xiaoyi's brother. He was lured into consuming drugs. This matter must be taken care of, if not his subordinates will lose faith in him. Also…” Chief Dong took a look at Hong Jianye, gave him a mysterious smile, and said, ”Also, I feel that this matter isn't so simple. If we investigate further, we might be able to discover the main culprit behind this.”
At his side, Boss Jin smiled and said, ”Oh my, speaking of which, Chief Dong, I asked a few underlings of mine to protect Young Master Dali. You have to help me inform your side to let them off. You know that it's a hard time for us to make a living nowadays.”
”No problem.” Chief Dong patted Boss Jin's shoulder. ”Your Golden Light enterprise is doing quite well lately, and also helped me settle quite a lot of problems.”
When he just entered the triads, it could be said that there was a lot of bloodsheds. However, Boss Jin had been trying hard to wash away his triads bad image and had been secretly settling some things for the Police that couldn't be shown in public. Therefore, his relationship with Bureau Chief Dong Huarong was quite good.
People like him who was in a triad normally had connections with both the Underworld and the Police. If not, they couldn't have lasted long if the Police kept checking on them and their business every two to three days.
”Haha, you're flattering me. I'm just helping to share some of your burdens, it's my duty to do so!” Boss Jin laughed loudly. ”But Chief Dong, it isn't easy trying to find that two bastards who lured him into taking drugs. I'm afraid that someone may be hiding them.”
”Of course, I'm aware of this.” Chief Dong shot a meaningful look at Hong Jianye and then smiled and said, ”However, nothing is impenetrable in this world. Can that person hide them forever?”
”That's true!” Boss Jin cooperated.
Hong Jianye watched these two people act in from of him and gave a cold laugh in his heart. On the surface, he nodded and said, ”Since this is the case, I shall wait for your good news. Speaking of which, this action of luring people into taking drugs must be taken care of.”
”That's for sure.”
Seeing that they had nothing more to say to him, Hong Jianye instantly walked away. When he walked to a corner, his son Hong Anbao came up and asked softly, ”Dad, they couldn't have found out about us, right?”
”Of course not.” Hong Jianye smiled and said, ”I'm careful when doing things. Hehe, because of Hong Dali, Hong Weiguo probably spent a lot of money for today. This is a good excuse to use during the family meeting. We shall just stand aside and see how it plays out from now on. We don't have to do anything else.”
”OK.” Hong Anbao smiled and said, ”It's fine as long as our goal is achieved.”
As they secretly conversed in the corner, Hong Weiguo was also discussing this matter at his side too. Dong Huarong asked, ”Weiguo, regarding the matter about Ling Xiaoyi, who do you think is the mastermind?”
”There are a lot of suspects.” Hong Weiguo shook his head and said, ”Dali has been involved in a lot of industries, any of his rivals might be the one behind this. Of course, my main suspect is… Unfortunately, I don't have any proof, so there's nothing I can do.”
Boss Jin was from the triads, he was naturally familiar with such stuff. ”I encountered such a situation before too. Someone wanted to lay his hand on my son. I didn't waste any words but just broke the legs of all those related. And now, my son is living perfectly fine. Hehe, you can't be soft-handed when dealing with such matters. If not, those bastards will think that you are easy to bully. A kind person will be bullied, a kind horse will be mounted on, this is how things are.”
”Yup, this is my intention as well.” Hong Weiguo gradually said, ”Although I'm not sure who is the culprit this time, I can put stress on the people who executed the plan. I need to let everyone know that even if I can't find the mastermind, I will take it out on those who executed the plan!”
”Yes, this is the right thing to do.” Boss Jin agreed. ”After this incident, they won't dare to lay their hands on Dali again. Back to the main topic, I wonder how Dali is doing now. There couldn't be any problems at his side, right?”
”There's no problem.” Hong Weiguo nodded affirmatively. ”Although Dali is a prodigal, he isn't silly. Don't worry.”
