Chapter 31: Opportunity

  "Wu Bin was caught?" Wu Hong immediately stood up from his seat, his face full of incredulity. He even felt that this was a joke, but today wasn't April Fool's Day.

  "This is true, I heard that Tang Heng personally led the discipline inspection team to arrest them, and more than 20 people were arrested. They were immediately transferred to Yanjing by chartered plane. Apart from this, we have not received any other information, and it seems that everything has been blocked by him!" His secretary's voice was also filled with tension. Although Wu Hong is still fine for now, but from this series of events, it can be seen that this is a bad omen for the Wu family. Tang Heng is definitely not a reckless person.

  "Bang!"

  Wu Hong lit a cigarette for himself, his face slightly wrinkled under the swirling clouds of smoke. The news came too suddenly and coincidentally.

  But Wu Bin didn't say that Li Meng was just a country bumpkin? However, because he had too little information in hand, he really couldn't infer whether this matter had anything to do with Li Meng.

  "Is that Li Meng still around?" Wu Hong asked suddenly.

  "He is no longer at the police station. Whether he was released or sent to Yanjing, we have no idea." His secretary replied cautiously.

  Wu Hong rubbed his temples with both hands, feeling a headache. After some thought, he still picked up the phone and dialed Tang Heng's number.

  "Hello, I'm Tang Heng!" A loud and clear voice came from the receiver.

  Wu Hong sneered, Tang Heng had been in Chengdu for two years, but he had always been suppressed by him, what attitude could he put on! Of course, although this was what he thought in his heart, on the surface he was very polite: "Secretary, I am Wu Hong."

  "Oh, so it's Governor Wu after all!" Tang Heng suddenly realized, and before Wu Hong could speak, he continued: "I forgot to tell you something, your younger brother-in-law Wu Bin made a mistake and has been transferred to Yanjing by the higher-ups. I'm very sorry for not telling you in advance."

  "Wu Hong's smile was a bit dry, he was reprimanded by Tang Heng, the words he had prepared were swallowed back into his stomach, and he forced a smile: 'So that's how it is, if I made a mistake, then I should accept the organization's punishment.'"

  "Heh heh, as long as Governor Wu understands!" Tang Heng's tone was very pleasant, in fact, he was truly happy, for the past two years, he had never felt so carefree. So when he received Huang Yang's instructions, he knew his opportunity had arrived.

  He is now a big shot, and naturally knows more than ordinary people. The mystery and terror of the Yan Huang he has long heard of. Not to mention that the Wu family is just a local snake, even if it's a dragon in the sky, you have to be humble! This is also why he respects Li Meng, and it's also the basis for his dealings with the Wu family.

  Wu Hong's face didn't look too good, but there was no way to bring it up, so he forced a smile and asked with intentional vagueness: "Secretary, I heard that Wu Bin offended a young master from the capital, is there any truth to this?"

  "Director Wu, are you asking me to break the rules?! This matter has been classified as top secret, and no one is allowed to leak it!" Tang Heng's tone was difficult, but his attitude was very firm.

  "…Alright, I won't ask any more questions and won't disturb the secretary's rest!" Wu Hong heavily hung up the phone and began to think about the information he had obtained, suppressing the anger in his heart.

  Tang Heng's words were few, but they revealed many useful signals. Firstly, Wu Bin's arrest was done by the 'top', at least Tang Heng accepted instructions from above, and Tang Heng also used this to warn Wu Hong not to mess with him.

  In addition, Tang Heng currently has no intention of taking action against the Wu family, otherwise he would not have spoken to him in such a tone, which made Wu Hong slightly relieved.

  Finally, Wu Hong realized that things were not normal, so he abandoned Wu Bin very decisively. However, he still had many unanswered questions in his heart, especially about Li Mao, the mastermind behind this incident. The information he currently knew was almost zero, and this uncontrollable feeling made him feel uneasy and fearful.

  Li Mang did not participate in or understand these worldly matters, and they were not on the same wavelength. The Wu family deserved to die, but Li Mang decided not to take action against them for now, as he was worried it would affect their mission. There would be plenty of opportunities after the task was completed.

  At this moment, Li Meng had already moved his luggage to another small hotel and settled in, and entered the Shan Hai Jing space, fishing by the shore of Lixu Water.

  But in fact, there are no fish in the surrounding area at all. The situation in the water is clear at a glance. These guys are too vigilant and can't be caught unless they use special methods to lure them.

  However, Li Meng wasn't fishing for fish, but to calm his restless mind. Lying on the hotel bed, he couldn't shake off the image of the police officer he had killed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The world of Shan Hai Jing was a bloody and cruel space, but its beauty could also soothe Li Meng's heart, like a paradise, and it was everything to him. Every time he came here, he felt at peace.

  ……

  The next morning, Li Meng ran to a nearby company called Coral Culture, which was a comprehensive enterprise integrating publishing, film and television, and advertising. The owner of the company was Chen Zishan, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, another target of Li Meng's mission this time.

  "This task is even more difficult than catching a ghost!" Looking at the luxurious building in front of him, Li Mang couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that he had no way to start, because he needed to get close to the Chen sisters and find out who was the real ability holder.

  Moreover, he only has half a month's task time, yesterday has passed one day, now there are only fourteen days left, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

  "Boom..."

  A red sports car appeared in Li Mang's line of sight, followed by two black sedans, which stopped one after another at the parking lot in front of the Coral Cultural Gate.

  A beautiful figure emerged from a red sports car, wearing a pink evening gown and high heels, with flesh-colored silk stockings that seemed to go on forever. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, not a single strand out of place, framing a face that was cold and unfeeling, yet extremely beautiful - none other than Chen Zixuan, the eldest young mistress of the Chen family.

  "Drip!"

  A Lamborghini drove into Li Mang's line of sight and finally stopped in front of Chen Zixuan. It could be seen that Chen Zixuan's willow eyebrows slightly raised, but immediately returned to being icy cold.

  The top of the Lamborghini was open, revealing a man's upper body. His hairstyle was fashionable and had a hint of elegance, but his face was slightly thin and his build couldn't be discerned. Li Mang couldn't help but feel that this person looked familiar, like a celebrity? But it didn't seem to be, and for the moment, he couldn't quite place what identity this person held.

  "Hey, Zisan!" The man waved his hand and greeted Chen Zisan.

  "Hello, Mr. Gao." Chen Zixuan nodded lightly, with a neutral expression.

  A flash of inspiration suddenly lit up in Li Meng's mind, and he finally remembered who this person was. Gao Di, a renowned author at home, was a successful commercial writer whose books were bestsellers both domestically and internationally. He never expected to run into the man himself here.

  "Zi Shan, haven't had breakfast yet? There's a local congee shop at the south gate that even high-end clubs can't match. Want to go together?" Gao Di extended an invitation.

  "Sorry, Mr. Gao, we have an early meeting soon and I may not be able to accompany you, thank you for your kind intention." Chen Zixuan politely declined.

  "Your meeting is at 8 o'clock, there's still time, it won't delay you for too long." Gao Di had already made plans.

  Chen Zixuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she didn't want to have breakfast with Gao Di at all, but Xanadu Culture was about to sign an important agreement with Gao Di, if things went wrong, it would be a huge loss for the company.

  Li Meng, who had been waiting for an opportunity on the side, finally stopped being a passerby and suddenly walked over in anger, scaring Chen Zixuan's bodyguard to block her in front.

  Li Meng angrily walked up to Lan Bo, grabbed his collar and said with a sneer: "Lan Bo, I've finally caught you!"
