"I heard you, President Ning. It was my fault." The burly man covered his head and forced a smile.
"Ms. Yun, let's talk in the next private room," Ning Ye said to Gu Manyun with a forced smile.
In the next private room, Ning Ye served fine wine: "President Yun, these are wines I usually keep in my collection. I wouldn't have brought them out if it weren't for your presence. Here you go."
"Xiao Ningzi, don't go to such lengths. I've come to see you today because I have some questions to ask you." Gu Manyun pointed to Ye Xingchen: "This is Mr. Ye. He has some things he wants to ask you."
"Hello Mr. Ye, since you were introduced by President Yun, you are one of us. Please feel free to ask me anything. I will not hide anything from you as long as I know it."
"Then thank you in advance, President Ning. Do you recognize the child in these photos?" Ye Xingchen casually took out a few photos.
These photos are of children who have recently gone missing from the orphanage. Ning Ye took the photos, looked at them carefully, and then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize them."
"Really? You don't recognize him?" Ye Xingchen noticed a strange look deep in his eyes.
"I really don't recognize them." Ning Ye shook his head, put down the photo in his hand, and asked in confusion, "Who are these children?"
“Xiao Ningzi, let’s stop speaking in riddles,” Gu Manyun said. “These children are from the Huimin Community Orphanage. They went missing a few days ago.”
"Huh? Did you call the police?" Ning Ye was taken aback. He waved his hands frantically, "President Yun, these things have nothing to do with me. I stopped doing those kinds of things a long time ago. I served six years in prison and have already reformed myself. I will never dare to do those kinds of things again."
"Of course I know it wasn't you," Gu Manyun said with a smile. "You're doing quite well running a bar now, why would you do such immoral things, right?"
"Yes, yes, I've been atoning for my sins all these years. I've helped several parents find the children I handled, and I've also been doing some charity work to find missing persons, all to atone for what I did in the past." Ning Ye nodded quickly.
“Just because you don’t do it doesn’t mean you don’t know it,” Gu Manyun said. “After all, you have experience in Nanjing and know how to send children to Nanjing or overseas.”
“This…” Ning Ye’s expression froze. He smiled bitterly and said, “President Yun, I’m no longer in this industry, and I haven’t contacted these channels for a long time.”
“Just because you don’t contact them doesn’t mean others won’t ask you,” Gu Manyun said. “Tell me, who has contacted you, and who have you introduced these channels to?”
Ning Ye fell silent. Yes, someone had inquired with him about some overseas channels.
When he did this before, he had connections with many people overseas, and he knew how to get people out of the country faster.
"Don't hesitate any longer, just say what you know," Ye Xingchen said. "The longer you hesitate, the more dangerous those children become."
Ning Ye remained silent. He picked up the wine, took a sip, and then placed the glass on the table.
He fiddled with the cup for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "President Yun, it's not that I don't want to speak up, but the other party's identity is special. It's better if you don't interfere in some matters."
"Oh, is this a warning to me?" Gu Manyun laughed.
“No, this isn’t police, this is advice.” Ning Ye said sincerely, “President Yun saved my life, and I am very grateful to him. So I advise you not to get involved in these matters, because President Yun can’t afford to offend the person behind the scenes.”
"There's nothing to be afraid of. They're just working for Liang Chenghu." Gu Manyun said leisurely, "The Shengshi Chamber of Commerce was destroyed, and the territory I occupy now is strictly speaking Liang Chenghu's territory."
"He and I are probably mortal enemies. Do you think there's any chance we can make peace?"
"This..." Ning Ye was dumbfounded. He knew Gu Manyun was fierce, but he didn't expect her to be this fierce. She really wanted to fight Liang Chenghu to the death.
“Liang Chenghu is secondary, but the foreign forces… are very strong. Liang Chenghu is also supplying some foreign forces. If the supply here is cut off, it’s equivalent to offending foreign forces.” Ning Ye gritted his teeth and told them everything he knew.
"Don't worry about these things. Just tell me a name, and I'll go find him right now. I promise I'll take care of him as quickly as possible and make sure it doesn't implicate you." Ye Xingchen guessed what this guy was thinking.
The reason this guy was speaking hesitantly was simply because he was afraid of being implicated. Ye Xingchen gave him a shot first to put his mind at ease.
"Really?" Ning Ye looked up at Ye Xingchen. To be honest, his biggest worry was that he would be implicated, since the other party was no pushover.
“With my guarantee, you can speak with confidence,” Gu Manyun said. “Besides, since you’ve already given them the channels, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later. It’s better for you to clear yourself of any wrongdoing sooner rather than later.”
Ning Ye stopped talking. He drank another glass of wine, then nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, then I'll tell you."
“I know of a group of desperados who used to be Huang San’s men, but they now take orders directly from Liang Chenghu.”
"After Huang San and his son were killed, this group was not affected because their business... was specifically to connect with overseas entities."
"What are their names?" Ye Xingchen raised an eyebrow, just as he expected.
“The Zhou brothers, Bing and Qiang, have a base at the foot of the mountain to the north.” Ning Ye gritted his teeth and said, “I heard that there is a need for young donors overseas. There are a few young clients overseas, so they should be making their move soon.”
"But because customs is checking so strictly, this group of people can't get the organs out, so... they might just use what they have on the spot and transport the organs directly out."
"Thank you." Ye Xingchen stood up. "I'll go deal with them right now, and I guarantee you won't be implicated in anything."
“President Yun…” Ning Ye quickly stood up and called out to Gu Manyun.
"Is there anything else?" Gu Manyun turned her head and asked.
“I know you’re determined to get involved in this, but I still want to give you some advice. This is a very complicated matter, and there are far too many vested interests involved.” Ning Ye sighed and said, “If you insist on investigating, you will really be implicated.”
"Thank you, Xiao Ningzi, for reminding me even at a time like this." Gu Manyun said with a smile, "I am not a righteous person, but at least I would not do such a thing that treats human life so lightly. The Liang family deserves divine retribution."
“I’m determined to handle this matter. Besides, I have Mr. Ye here with me.”
Ning Ye was stunned. His attention had been focused on Gu Manyun, and he hadn't paid much attention to Ye Xingchen. Only after hearing her say that did he realize that this Ye Xingchen was Gu Manyun's biggest asset.
