Chapter 186 The Calm Before the Storm



At 8 PM on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, in the Lu family residence in Beijing, in Lu Zhengjing's study.

"Young Lu, the 'Long Eagle' behind it all had someone in Beijing recently launch an indiscriminate attack on more than a dozen people."

Although it includes you, he doesn't believe you are Falcon, right? On the phone, Han Zhanlei wanted to analyze 'Long Eagle's' behavior more deeply.

"Yes, he's very afraid of death, loves money, and is arrogant and conceited, thinking that I am too!" Lu Zhengjing briefly described.

After all, it's only natural for 'Long Eagle' to have desires for money, power, affection, status, prestige, and the like.

"Changying" even called Jingsheng Company, pretending to admire him and trying to win him over.

"The current calm is somewhat abnormal." Han Zhanlei quickly went over the information he had received during this period with Lu Xiaozi.

Especially in Ontario, the Golden Club.

They had always believed that the club was connected to the Black Hawk Gang, but they couldn't find any evidence.

Moreover, the club only deals with alcohol and sex; nothing else is touched.

"No, Lieutenant General, you just said that Golden Club has been doing its hotel business in a very proper manner for the past two years, and no special circumstances have been found."

Are men and women just a little more extravagant when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun?

However, as you just mentioned, the data we received from our comrades' monitoring showed anomalies, although the total number of people was correct.

However, the number of men and women who entered the hospital over a period of time did not match the number of men and women who came out.

Just recently, last week, on January 7th.

Eleven women and 59 men went in, but ten women and 60 men came out that day.

However, over the several days prior, the numbers of all other men and women matched, except for one person.

Lu Zhengjing's expression turned serious. Although one cannot judge a problem based on the number of people entering and leaving in a single day.

After all, it's normal for some guests who go to clubs to stay overnight or stay for a few days, but he always felt something was off.

"It was a woman disguised as a man! Lieutenant General, please have someone investigate the true situation of the 11 women who went in that day."

“Young Lu, you mean…” Han Zhanlei said in a deep voice.

“Yes, ‘Long Eagle’ should have appeared. He finally couldn’t resist and was going to take action himself,” Lu Zhengjing affirmed.

“Okay, I’ll make the arrangements, but it will be difficult if he doesn’t show up again, since many days have already passed.”

Also, based on your guess, he was specially dressed up; he is a very cautious person.

"It seems that if we really can't find him, I'm considering detaining Liu Bo," Han Zhanlei said after a moment's thought.

"Lieutenant General, I suggest we wait a little longer? Without solid evidence, it won't be easy for you to detain Liu Bo."

Moreover, interrogations last a maximum of twenty-four hours, which could alert the suspect. Lu Zhengjing had a different opinion.

He recalled that he had been unable to extract the true identity of "Long Eagle" from Mr. Gan and Lao Hei, whom he had captured before.

Even if Liu Bo knew, it would be difficult for him to get the information out of him.

After all, if it really is a 'long eagle', its first stop would be the Golden Club.

Therefore, his relationship with Liu Bo must be extraordinary.

Even two trusted confidants couldn't compare; without any crucial clues, relying solely on interrogation and coercion of Liu Bo wouldn't yield a high success rate.

"We'll give you six months. If it takes too long, we can't afford to drag it out." On the other side, Han Zhanlei's expression was somewhat solemn. He had already run into the Liu family in Beijing.

Last year, he had Liu Wucheng, the second son of the Liu family, arrested.

The final investigation revealed that Liu Wucheng was merely using the drug, not involved in its sale.

Of course, even if Liu Wucheng was just using drugs, being arrested was a standard procedure.

However, since no crime was committed, he was only detained for a period of time before being released.

However, this has had a negative impact on the Liu family's reputation.

Old Master Liu still retains his integrity, but since it was his children and grandchildren's scandals that were exposed, it's inevitable that he might harbor some resentment towards him.

Moreover, as Mr. Liu gets older, he might value family ties even more.

Before ending the call, Han Zhanlei suddenly remembered something.

He wanted to tease Lu Xiaozi again, "Zheng Dao got married last year. I never expected that he and the eldest daughter of the Chen family would have such a fate!"

"Young man, isn't your father pressuring you? Are you really planning to stay single forever, a lifelong bachelor?"

In the military, leaders have become accustomed to considering the lifelong marriages of their subordinates.

Otherwise, with them spending all their time training and on missions, it would be difficult for them to start a family on their own!

It's not that they aren't good enough, but some of them are clumsy when it comes to relationships; on the other hand, they mainly lack the time and opportunity to meet girls.

Those who are already married are basically introduced by elders in their families or in the military.

Like Zheng Dao, who earned it himself, it's a joyous occasion worth celebrating and encouraging.

"...I have no plans to get married for the time being."

"So, Lieutenant General, you know Comrade Zheng's new wife?" Lu Zhengjing asked politely, also to change the subject.

In fact, from the moment he joined the army, he and Zheng Dao were incompatible and couldn't stand each other.

However, Zheng Dao was a few years older than him, and was also a senior soldier and a former king of soldiers who was a year ahead of him.

He would still go through the motions of politeness.

"We know each other, and this is exactly what I was going to tell you. I've already arranged for someone to secretly cooperate with you and Zheng Dao to make sure we capture 'Long Eagle'."

Zheng Dao's wife is this man's older sister. So, they're destined to be together." Han Zhanlei said with a smile.

"Received, okay, understood," Lu Zhengjing replied in a rigid tone.

Han Zhanlei on the other end of the phone said, "Boring!" As he hung up, he muttered to himself, "Comrade Chen Chunhua is wronged. She's newly married, and Zheng is already on a mission."

Hearing this faintly, Lu Zhengjing's eyebrows furrowed instantly: Chen Chunhua?

Is it the same person, or just a coincidence of names? Is it really that much of a coincidence?

Last autumn, Changxing married Comrade Li Hualin.

And his nephew's wife is Zheng Dao's cousin.

If it really is the same person, then...

Lu Zhengjing suddenly felt a headache coming on, sensing that things were about to turn awkward and difficult to handle once again.

As for the Chen family, he had a feeling before that he was destined to encounter them.

Just then, his phone, which he had just put down on the desk, rang again, interrupting Lu Zhengjing's thoughts.

"Seventh Master, come out quickly! Bai Xiaosi is dead drunk, his wife dumped him!"

Xie Jinzhou sounded anxious on the phone, but it was easy to detect a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

"Didn't he decide to divorce her a long time ago?" Lu Zhengjing said casually.

At the beginning of last year, Bai Feng was coerced by his aunt, who used both soft and hard tactics, and was eventually forced to agree to marry someone.

Bai Feng was already unwilling, and later he discovered that his new wife actually had someone else in her heart.

Six months ago, after giving birth, she felt that she had fulfilled the task of arranging the marriage between the two families, so she asked Bai Feng for a divorce.

After dealing with both families for half a year, Bai Feng and his wife finally divorced.

Bai Feng getting drunk doesn't seem like it's because he's heartbroken or dumped. It's more like he feels that his dashing and charming self has lost face by being divorced and dumped, and he wants to use this as an excuse to cause a scene.
