The Red Lantern Society is not very large and the congregation is by no means of that size of the Green Dragon Gang.
But Zhao Zichen, a man who was very good at enlisting people, had his brothers everywhere in the country.
He was not a big deal and treated his brothers very well, so everyone was happy to call him Master Zhao.
Master is an honorific title, and those with high status in the jianghu are handed over as masters. Some people are obviously older than Zhao Zichen, but they respect him, so they will call him master.
This security guard looked older than Zhao Zichen’s age, at least five years older.
Zhao Zichen waved his hand, “You’re welcome, just call me Doctor Zhao. What’s wrong with this guy?”
“A rich kid with eyes on his head, looking for trouble everywhere, it’s good for you to clean him up for us, Doctor Zhao.”
Only then did the rich boy realise that he had not been unlucky this time, but that he had kicked the iron plate.
He could not wait to find a place to burrow into, so he could disappear immediately and not let those two men who pulled out guns at the drop of a hat look at him again.
Zhao Zichen indicated that he understood and kicked the rich young man on the ground with his foot.
“Don’t look for trouble on my brother’s turf, get out of my sight immediately.”
The rich second generation couldn’t wait to hear this word, the word roll was the best fairy sound to him now.
The three men got up from the ground, soaked in dust that they didn’t even bother to pick up their wallets, and without looking back, they scurried into the supercar and left in a huff.
The funny thing was that the supercar was a single compartment, and I was wondering how the three men had managed to fit into two seats.
Zhao Zichen explained a few things to his little brother, then picked up his wallet and got in the car.
He jumped on the passenger side and let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that it was Cai Xiaobing who was driving.
Then he saw me in the rear-view mirror reaching for him and had to helplessly take the gun out, “Toys, big brother, you take a real one and I can’t even take a fake one?”
I took it over and weighed it, the weight of the gun was not right, it was really a fake, I threw it back to Zhao Zichen.
“It’s also illegal to take a fake gun like this, take it easy.”
“I’m a f*cking triad, you let me a triad ……” he said the words halfway, a long sigh said, “Okay okay, I’ll be a law-abiding association member in the future. ”
He threw something back at me, a wallet, the same wallet that the rich kid had dropped earlier.
“Just that grandson lost it, I want to obey the law, first start by picking up money, later when I get to Ningcheng I will go and hand it over to the police uncle, eh, why did you open the wallet?”
I was trying to see what this person’s name was, Ningcheng is not too big, not too small, in case we run into each other again, it’s not like two eyes are blind.
He had quite a lot of stuff in his wallet, his bank card and ID card were all intact, and a few sheets of cash.
Nowadays, everyone pays by mobile phone, and there really aren’t many people who carry money around with them.
The man’s name was Zheng Peng, a very common name.
Chu Xiaoxiao, who works in media, took a look at the name on her ID card with her head and instantly recognized it.
“Guang Yao Media, ah, it’s a local entertainment company in Ningcheng, quite a few big stars are under their hands.”
“Shouldn’t that be quite rich, how come his car is still so cheap?”
Chu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Who told you it was cheap? Is it cheap at two or three million?”
My original guess was within one million, but now Chu Xiaoxiao said two or three million, which I felt wasn’t too expensive.
“It’s more expensive than I guessed, but it’s not too expensive.”
“That’s true. Guang Group Media is a big business, but it’s still no match for Junran. That’s not because he’s poor, it’s because you’re too rich. Hey, damn rich people …… oh no, you’re my boyfriend, so I’ll have to be nice to you as a big money man.”
She threw her arms around me and pouted, while pulling a business card out of her purse.
The business card didn’t belong to Zheng Peng, it was a man named Huang Hao, the manager of the Lanjiang Hotel.
Lanjiang.
Was it a coincidence? How come it was Lan Jiang?
Lanjiang is not close to Ningcheng, and it takes more than six hours by car.
I couldn’t help thinking of Yun Guihai and Yun Zong, who had travelled to Ningcheng from Lanjiang, and this Zheng Peng, who was originally from Ningcheng himself, had also been to Lanjiang.
Could this be a coincidence?
Chu Xiaoxiao scanned the business card and explained to me, “It could also be a trip to Lanjiang, which is a tourist city and has the number one peak in China. There was a time when I wanted to go there for a commercial film.”
I nodded, this was a reasonable explanation.
There was nothing else in the wallet, and I wasn’t interested in the money, so I should just do what Zhao Zichen said and hand the wallet over to the police when I got to Ningcheng and let them find the owner.
I was about to close the wallet when Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly took it and took the money out.
Zhao Zichen looked in the rearview mirror and said, “Zhang Chao, now it’s your girlfriend who’s not following the law, ah, you have to treat her equally and criticize her.”
Chu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and took the money out and put it in my hand, with two tickets sandwiched between the notes and the banknotes.
These were two high-speed train tickets.
One had Yun Zong written on it and one had Yun Guihai written on it.
The departure point is Ningcheng, and the city at the end is Si Cheng, about forty minutes away.
That was not the point, the point was how did the license plates of Yun Zong and Yun Guihai come to be in his possession?
High-speed train tickets are all purchased in real names, and only with these two people’s ID cards could they buy tickets to board the train. So as long as this high speed train ticket was genuine, there was no possibility that he had falsely purchased the tickets in place of the two Yun family fathers and sons, and it was even more unlikely that he had bought the tickets in this person’s name but let someone else take the train.
To put it bluntly, Zheng Peng and these two people must have met.
Our car had already driven out for a while, and Zheng Peng must have left the service station, so it was too late to go back and chase him.
I pulled my hair out in frustration, and suddenly I remembered something.
“Turn back.”
“Turn back now? Zheng Peng is long gone.”
I said, “Turn back, I’m going to put this wallet back, and anyone who picks it up can’t be the one I saw.”
Go down the junction ahead and exit the highway, then turn around.
Cai Xiaobing immediately came down at the junction ahead and made a U-turn, turning around and driving back in the direction of the service station just now.
We went back to the service station and asked the Red Light Society security guard if anyone had come back to look for the wallet.
The guard said no.
I handed him the wallet: “If he asks you who found it, just say you found it yourself.”
“How much money is left in it?”
“A thousand or so.” I said, “You can’t take anything east in here or you’ll get into serious trouble.”
