“What’s the news?”
Ji Feng immediately asked.
Zhang Lei must have investigated some problems in the past few days in Haizhou, and with his ability, it would be strange if he couldn’t find out the problems.
And these were also the problems that Ji Feng wanted to know the most.
Zhang Lei said, “I might have found out the whereabouts of Zhao Kai’s old man, didn’t that nanny in his family say that their whole family left Haizhou and went abroad, but after my investigation, I found out that I’m afraid Zhao Kai’s old man didn’t leave Haizhou!”
“What?!” Ji Feng was stunned: “Lei Zi, tell me in detail, what is going on?”
The fact that Zhao Kai’s old man hadn’t left Haizhou was a surprise and astonishing to Ji Feng. To know, Zhao Kai’s old son was an official in Haizhou, if he was still in Haizhou, there would definitely not be no news at all, even if something had happened, there would definitely be some rumors in the community.
But Zhang Lei had been in Haizhou for two or three days, but he hadn’t heard anything about what had happened to Zhao Kai’s old man, which was obviously not normal.
Even Ji Feng thought at first that Zhao Kai’s family must have left Haizhou, and most likely in some legitimate name, and only then would there be no rumours in the community and no family members of Zhao Kai could be found.
The news that Zhang Lei brought was indeed amazing.
“To go into detail on this matter, it would have to start at the beginning.” Zhang Lei said, “After I came to Haizhou, I just went to Zhao Kai’s house and met the nanny, and then I was followed by someone.”
“Heh!”
Ji Feng laughed, “That’s really efficient!”
Zhang Lei nodded and said, “At that time, I knew that either someone was watching Zhao Kai’s house all the time, or, there was something wrong with that nanny, and she was the one who informed some people to follow me. However, I personally feel that the second one is more likely.”
Ji Feng raised an eyebrow, “Why?”
Zhang Lei said, “I don’t know why, it’s just a feeling. Because if it was someone watching Zhao Kai’s house, I should feel ……”
Ji Feng nodded slightly, he understood what Zhang Lei meant.
This feeling that Zhang Lei was talking about was actually because of an improvement that Zhang Lei had made after practicing aerobics. All aspects of his body had improved, such as his hearing, vision and senses, etc.
Although Zhang Lei couldn’t tell the truth, Ji Feng was very clear that the kind of feeling Zhang Lei had was actually a manifestation of his progress, because Ji Feng had already had this kind of feeling when he first started practising aerobics, and he knew better than anyone else exactly what kind of feeling that was.
“On top of that, before I entered Zhao Kai’s house, I deliberately skulked around as if nothing was wrong, just to see if there was anything unusual around, but I didn’t find anything as a result.” Zhang Lei said, “Combining these factors, I can be sure that there must be something wrong with that nanny, there is no doubt about it!”
Ji Feng nodded, he really wasn’t surprised by this news, in fact, he had already sensed that something was wrong with that nanny by talking to her on the phone.
And now Zhang Lei had personally met with that nanny again, so it was a final confirmation.
“Then what happened?” Ji Feng asked again.
“Because I found out that I was being followed, I was a bit less convenient when I was investigating.”
Zhang Lei said, “Although I can very easily get rid of the person following me at any time, but if that happens, the other party will definitely know that I am more difficult to deal with, and they will definitely be more alert then, and if they doggedly do something against Zhao Kai and his family as a result …… ”
Ji Feng immediately said, “You are right to do so.”
As Zhang Lei said just now, when he first came to Haizhou, he only knew that something must have happened to Zhao Kai’s family. But exactly what had happened was unknown, and if Zhang Lei had come up and displayed his overpowering abilities, making certain people feel extremely threatened, then maybe Zhao Kai’s family might have been hurt even more.
“Although there is just that possibility, but I don’t dare to take the risk, especially right now when Zhao Kai and his family don’t know where they are or even if they are alive or dead, a casual move on my part could cause harm to his family!” Zhang Lei said.
Ji Feng nodded and said, “So when you encountered this situation, you called me?”
Zhang Lei shook his head, “Of course not. Although I was being followed, I always had to do something, so I pretended that it was because I hadn’t found Zhao Kai, so I was just having fun in Haizhou alone, first I got a room here and then wandered around, only in the process of wandering, I pretended that I was going to a nearby supermarket to buy cigarettes, or fruit or something like that, and then indirectly chatted with other people for a few minutes, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning Zhao Kai’s family ……”
Ji Feng smiled and said, “That’s a good idea.”
The place that is not too far from this hotel is the government family courtyard, Zhao Kai’s home is in that family courtyard, and although the common people are also afraid of the officials, but they usually like to talk about, certainly not less than the officials of all kinds of things, especially they are still in the vicinity of this family courtyard business.
If Zhang Lei chatted with them, he might really be able to find out some information.
“Good for what?” Zhang Lei shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Originally, I also thought this was a good idea, no matter if it was a rumor or something else, I could always hear something, right? But who knows, just as soon as I opened my mouth to ask, or just chatted a few words, before I could get to the point, a city manager came over and drove all those stalls away.”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be stunned, “Driven away? What about the people in the supermarket?”
The city management drove away the vendors who had set up stalls, but there was no reason for them to drive away the people in the supermarket, right?
Zhang Lei grunted: “Of course the people in the supermarket are busy welcoming the industry and commerce! That’s not all, there’s something even more odious! The day after that, none of those hawkers showed up, I originally thought they should be afraid of getting into trouble and might have ducked out for the time being, so I didn’t care, but a few days ago I inadvertently spotted a man at a junction ……”
Zhang Lei’s face welled up with a look of annoyance: “It was a middle-aged man who had a fruit stall, and when I saw him later, his face still bore obvious scars, and as soon as he saw me, he had a clearly panicked look on his face, and without saying a word he hurriedly pushed his car and turned around and ran, not even wanting the boxes of fruit that were on the ground… …”
Ji Feng’s eyebrows instantly tightened up, his face was gloomy and ugly.
Needless to say, the middle-aged man selling fruits had definitely been beaten up, and the reason they were beaten up was definitely because of Zhang Lei, otherwise, that person wouldn’t have had a panicked look on his face as soon as he saw Zhang Lei.
Even if I thought with my toes, I knew that the reason why someone would beat up those vendors was not for anything else, but because they had chatted with Zhang Lei.
It was because some people were afraid that they had said something to Zhang Lei that they shouldn’t, so they taught them a lesson!
And that was why the middle-aged man who was selling fruits, also turned around and ran without saying a word after seeing Zhang Lei, because he was afraid, he was afraid that if he talked to Zhang Lei again, he would still be beaten up, maybe even with more serious consequences!
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: “I’ll F**k his ancestors! When I saw this situation, I immediately understood what was going on, this is someone who doesn’t want those stallholders to talk to me!”
Ji Feng said in a deep voice: “It looks like this person behind the scenes who doesn’t want those vendors to talk to Zhang Lei has a lot of energy in Haizhou! …… Hehe!”
To be able to mobilize people from industry and commerce and city management, and to do things so recklessly, yet the police have not reacted much, this means that at least the industry and commerce and city management departments, all listen to this person’s orders, and the police also give this person face.
From this point of view, this person should at least be a leader of the district.
It is even possible that he was a higher-level leader.
Of course, there is also the possibility that he is a very powerful person outside the system, but no matter what the identity of this person is, at least this matter must have involved some leader of the district.
In that case, the reason why Zhao Kai’s family will be in trouble, should be an official matter involved.
In fact, if you think about it, it’s not surprising that Zhao Kai’s father is a cadre himself, so the person who can get him into trouble should naturally be an official, and the level must be higher than his.
“Those B*****ds, they’re really arrogant enough!” Zhang Lei snorted coldly, even now when he thought about it, his face was still very unpleasant.
“It’s more than arrogant, it’s to the point of being reckless!” Ji Feng sneered.
“This is also called reckless?” Zhang Lei shook his head with a sneer and said, “The truly unscrupulous is still behind!”
“How so?”
Ji Feng asked in a deep voice.
Hearing the meaning of Zhang Lei’s words, it seemed like something even more outrageous had happened later?
As expected, Zhang Lei took a fierce puff of his cigarette and said in a cold voice, “On the same night I met that fruit vendor, there were police officers coming to check on me at the Haizhou Hotel, and this Haizhou police’s inspection was very interesting.
Ji Feng frowned: “They’ve come to arrest you?”
Zhang Lei sneered, “Those policemen didn’t come to invite me to dinner anyway!”
Ji Feng asked, “Then how did you get out of it? Did you reveal your identity, or some other method?”
Zhang Lei snorted, “Showing my identity with that gang? I can’t afford to lose that kind of face! Before they entered the room to check, I had already gone out of the window at the stairway, hung on the vent at the back, and waited until they left before I came in!”
Speaking of this, Zhang Lei’s face turned gloomy, “I’m sure that those dogs must have wanted to plant evidence on me or find some random reason to take me away, only they didn’t think that as soon as they arrived downstairs, I realised that they should be coming for my trouble, so I hid in advance… …”
