The person who spoke was Zhu Junchi. He was dressed casually and had combed his short hair. He was dressed rather plainly.
The person standing next to him was a little taller than him. He was another member of Team 4, Wei Yulong.
In Team 4, Wei Yulong was slightly older. He was already 37 years old and his strength was considered top-notch.
Although he was not young, he had a baby face and looked about the same age as Zhu Junchi.
The two of them were dressed very similarly, not looking like anything special. Although he was wearing branded clothes, he kept a low profile and did not show off at all.
This was also a habit that they had developed over the years. After being molded by the Central Guards Brigade, their living habits were different from those rich playboys. They looked proper and reserved.
âYou two are finally here. Letâs talk while we eat.â
After entering the private room, the two of them sat down. Zhu Junchi was the first to open the Maotai and fill the glasses of the other two.
The three of them clinked their glasses and took a sip. Zhu Junchi said,
âOld Zhou, weâve known each other for a while. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you putting on such a show?â
âThe Zhonghai project has been suspended. We donât know when it will be able to start.â
âStopped? How is that possible?!â Zhu Junchi said in surprise.
âThere were no problems with the official process for the project. Why was it stopped?â
âThey said that that piece of land had other uses, so they urgently stopped it,â
Zhou Yuan cursed.
âThis is too sudden. Why do 1 feel that something is wrong?â Zhu Junchi said doubtfully.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, it should be Liang Ruoxu,â Wei Yulong said.
âLiang Ruoxu? Liang Xiangheâs granddaughter?â
Wei Yulong nodded and said in a deep voice,
âLiang Ruoxu is Lin Yiâs lover. Now that heâs dead, sheâll definitely help.â âIsnât she overstepping? The private yacht project is just one part of our water park, yet sheâs interfering with even that?â Zhu Junchi said indignantly.
âYou have to understand, anyone from the Liang family is never a pushover, Wei Yulong replied.
âI suspect she must have sensed something, which is why she reacted this way. Otherwise, thereâs no reason for such a strong response.
âReally? Weâve been so discreet, and she still figured it out?â
Zhu Junchi felt a chill run down his spine. If Liang Ruoxu could discern even this, her insight was truly terrifying.
âWei, arenât you exaggerating a bit? Actually, thereâs something else you all donât know,â Zhou Yuan said.
âWhat happened now?â Wei Yulong lit a cigarette and asked in a low voice.
âThe Central Guards Brigade went to my uncleâs house.â
Hearing this, their expressions changed.
âWho went?â
âTwo women and a man.â Zhou Yuan said.
âOne of the women even attended my cousinâs burial ceremony. Looks like she
has some status.â
â1 know who it is.â Zhu Junchi said.
âIt must be Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che. The last man should be Tao Cheng. Theyâre all veterans of Team 3 and often hang out together. They must have been sent by the higher-ups to express their condolences to your Zhou family.â
âThatâs unlikely. The Central Guards Brigade sacrifices members every year, but Iâve never seen the organization send out such a huge force to express their condolences.â Wei Yulong said,
âTeam Leader-level figures donât come and go as they please.â Zhu Junchi spun his wine glass and also felt that something was amiss. He looked at Zhou Yuan and asked,
âOther than that, what other information do you have?â
âThereâs nothing else.â Zhou Yuan said.
âI only replaced the security guards at home with my people. 1 donât know what they talked about.â
âI donât think this matter is simple.â Zhou Yulong said.
âThey must have discussed something in secret. Otherwise, they wouldnât have made such a big move.â
âI think so too. With Liang Ruoxuâs status, sheâs not someone ordinary people can mobilize. It must be the result of people from the Central Guards Brigade interfering.â Zhu Junchi said.
âBy the way, I heard you mention before that thereâs a very irksome person in your company who seems to have been guarding against you. Whatâs her name again?â
âFan Jiayi is my auntâs niece. Sheâs the deputy general manager of the company.â
âI think she might have something to do with this. You should focus on her.
Zhou Yuan nodded without commenting.
With Uncleâs current state, it was unlikely that he would participate in the companyâs matters.
The only person who could possibly oppose him was Fan Jiayi!
He had to start with her!
âIn truth, Fan Jiayi is nothing. I can easily take care of her. The main problem is still with the Central Guards Brigade. Without their support, the project wouldnât have been stopped.â
âJust deal with Fan Jiayi. Weâll take care of Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che.â
Wei Yulong was fiddling with his phone.
âTheyâre already in Chengdu. Next, we need to use our resources to locate where theyâre staying and discuss this matter in detail.â
âIt wonât be difficult to find them. Given their status, theyâll be staying in high-end places. I can name most of the five-star hotels in Chengdu, so it wonât take long to track them down.â
Zhu Junchi leaned back in his chair and looked straight ahead, as if in a daze. âGiven their relationship with Lin Yi, if theyâve come to handle this, they likely wonât compromise easily. The chances of negotiating are low.â âHeh hehâ¦â Wei Yulong chuckled coldly and said slowly.
âIf the soft approach doesnât work, weâll use the hard approach. Even if they band together, those two families canât stir up much trouble.â
Zhu Junchi looked at Wei Yulong.
âDonât tell me you want to fight them?â
âSo what if it comes to that? Weâre still members of the Central Guards Brigade. Sparring between comrades is perfectly normal, and the higher-ups wonât say anything,â Wei Yulong replied.
âMoreover, their families are about the same size as ours. Thereâs no need to be afraid.â
âBrother Wei, I can tell now. You look kind on the outside, but youâre cold on the inside.â Zhu Junchi said.
âIf it were me, I wouldnât dare to use such a method.â
âTheyâre overestimating themselves, thinking they fear nothing because they used to hang out with Lin Yi. Now that Lin Yi is dead, theyâre still acting like they have power. Itâs time to set them straight.
Zhu Junchi picked up some food from the table, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
âI think thatâs a good idea. Letâs do it.â
âSince we have a plan, letâs have a toast and then get to work. We canât afford to delay any longer,â Zhou Yuan said, raising his glass..
