Chapter 135 Fighting

Mrs. Huang was a little shaken, and the panic in her eyes could not be concealed.

In comparison, Yan Baiqing was much calmer. He crossed his legs and clapped his hands to the music in the banquet hall. He was very patient, as if he was determined to wait for an answer.

After Chen Qing finished the glass of wine, his cheeks flushed and his eyes became wandering. He still remembered the purpose of this trip, so he secretly hid behind the screen, pursed his lips and observed this side.

Yan Baiqing was amused by her appearance. She looked so naive and cute when drunk. She was so well-behaved that she stood there motionless and didn't move an inch.

He couldn't help but imagine Chen Qing being hot-tempered, temperamental, and lively and pure when she was with Jiang Jingyan. Jingyan, on the other hand, was a man who wouldn't yield to pressure in official matters, but when a man met someone willing to yield, his personality and principles would vanish. She would probably occasionally act like a spoiled child, but she could handle him.

For six and a half years, Chen Qing and Jiang Jingyan had been entangled on the same vine, inseparable, and the only option was to cut it off.

The more I think, the more my thoughts drift away.

Yan Baiqing's smile gradually faded, and he lowered his eyes to play with his phone.

Mrs. Huang thought about it for a while, then stood up as if she had made up her mind and respectfully held up the teacup. "Mr. Yan, I'll tell Old Huang about it. If it's any later, we'll have to go to Mr. Jiang's place."

"Mrs. Huang's actions have secured prosperity and wealth for the Huang family for the rest of their lives."

She chuckled and hurried out of the room to make arrangements.

Yan Baiqing held the cup of tea, the temperature of which penetrated the wall of the cup and burned into his palms. He brought it to his lips, and the moment the steam rose, the waiter who stayed with Chen Qing to take care of him came closer with a wine glass in his hand.

He frowned and was about to stand up to stop them when two men in black came in and blocked their way.

"Sir," the leading man bowed and closed the lounge door tightly. "Mrs. Huang asked you to return first. She'll have Mr. Huang meet you in person to discuss the next steps in the business after the wedding is over."

Yan Baiqing looked at the two of them with sharp eyes.

Suddenly, he stood up and poured out the hot tea in the cup. The powerful stream of water hit the man's eyes. In the gap where the two figures dodged, the screen was empty.

Chen Qing is missing.

"Don't try that on me." Yan Baiqing's expression was grim as he strode out.

A wave of guests were about to leave the banquet hall. It was a huge crowd, and every face was unfamiliar.

He did not bring his secretary or bodyguards this time. He wanted to find a living person in the hotel, but since it was on the other party's territory, he had almost no advantage.

Anger flashed in Yan Baiqing's eyes, and a strong sense of unease made his heart suddenly tighten.

…

Lian Zhuo received a call from an informant, saying that Boss Huang changed his mind halfway and jumped out of the car on the way here. It was too dark and they took the small road in the village, so they searched around but couldn't find him.

The Huang family's business is not clean. This man uses all kinds of tricks to survive and make money.

He rushed into the office.

The city had punished Jiang Jingyan for his personal safety, as a show of force. His previous report had gone unresolved, but this time the incident had become so serious that he had to be punished.

Logically speaking, with the result, the matter would be over, but the Huasheng board of directors was unaware of the inside story and believed that he was not qualified to be the general manager. They were even more dissatisfied with him for being above the directors and making decisions in the group, and repeatedly finding fault with him.

The higher-ups didn't care, and they couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, Jiang Jingyan was very capable and had enough momentum. He had been working tirelessly these past few days in Huasheng, and nothing had gone wrong.

Lian Zhuo found him in the inner room. The ashtray on the coffee table was full of cigarette butts and was smoky. The man's face looked gloomy.

"Boss Huang ran away?" Jiang Jingyan knew everything and spoke first.

"You know?"

"I didn't place any hope on him."

"Do you want to chase?"

Jiang Jingyan held a cigarette between his lips and handed him a business card. "Tell the informant to continue pursuing the case. You go find this Young Master Shang. He's keeping a woman for me. Her name is Liu Mei. She was a close confidant of the former vice president of Qingyoufuyuan. All the important people involved in the case received life sentences, but this woman was imprisoned for three years."

"Three years?" Lian Zhuo was surprised. "How can you be considered a confidant for three years?"

"Liu Mei changed his name after he was released from prison and has been secretly Ji Mingyin's puppet. In order to avoid getting into trouble, he has not been in contact with us. His senior brother transferred him out of the province, and he has completely lost his chance." Jiang Jingyan slowly inserted the cigarette butt into the ashtray, as steady as a rock.

Lian Zhuo was shocked and felt a chill on his back.

On the surface, he was trying to win over Boss Huang, planting spies, and using counter-espionage tactics. Yan Baiqing must have thought that Jiang Jingyan's target was only this one person.

Even he didn't know about this plan. To be honest, some forces in Huasheng were dissatisfied and under pressure from above. There was also a marriage at home that he couldn't get rid of. He thought Jiang Jingyan was already overwhelmed, so he ended up quietly arranging this deception.

Too stable.

"I'll be there right away."

Jiang Jingyan stood up and tucked his shirt into his trousers. "When you pick someone up, you don't have to come see me. Go to the Li family and find Madam Li. Tell her this is my thank you gift."

Last time, in order to find Chen Qing's whereabouts, I borrowed the list from Madam Li. Although it violated the original agreement, what Liu Mei said was enough to repay the favor.

He originally thought that this woman would be of great use to him, but Yan Baiqing made the first move, so he had to accept it.

Lian Zhuo was about to leave when he was stopped.

"How's Mrs. Huang doing?"

"She left the wedding half an hour ago, around the same time Boss Huang jumped out of the car."

Jiang Jingyan frowned and asked sharply, "Wedding?"

If Yan Baiqing wanted to catch Boss Huang, he would definitely find another way to find Mrs. Huang. Since he wanted to meet her, given his cautious nature, he would not choose a place with many people around.

Unless you want to force Mrs. Huang to compromise.

Lian Zhuo was confused and held his breath, "What's wrong?"

The man took out his cell phone and called Chen Qing three times in a row, but no one answered.

Without time to think it over, he urged Lian Zhuo to act according to the plan. He drove to the ancient town and stopped by the wedding scene to inquire.

When we arrived outside the hotel, three men dressed in low-key clothes came up to us and reported through the car window, "Mr. Yan came here, but didn't notice us. He met with Mrs. Huang."

"He came alone?"

"right."

The other thought for a moment, "It seems that when I entered the door, there was a woman next to me. I didn't look closely, but when I left, she turned into a person. I guess she was just a character used to deceive people."

Jiang Jingyan almost couldn't breathe, and didn't even ask about the woman's appearance. He confirmed that it was Chen Qing.

He didn't let too many people know about Chen Qing's existence, and when negotiating with Boss Huang, he also avoided talking about his relationship with Chen Qing, just to prevent this from happening.

Boss Huang has a habit in doing business. No matter who the other party is, he must have something in his hand to check and balance him, so as not to lose his life before getting the money. The best outcome is that everyone is happy, and the worst outcome is that everyone will perish together.

In tonight's negotiation, Yan Baiqing had the initiative in the first half, but in the second half, a substitution was made.
