Lin Wu was caught off guard by the question.
Gu Tangzhang nodded.
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why they were talking about Chi Yangzhi's matter and why they were bringing up the funeral industry at this time.
But she still went along with it and said, "Before this, when I was dealing with the Five Elements of the Black Market, I rarely dealt with the funeral industry. I didn't know much about them. I only knew that they were low-key and rarely showed up. I really came into contact with them a few months ago. When I was looking up some things, I found out that the owner of the funeral industry was Leng Linfeng, who I had a grudge against."
"Leng Linfeng is a very strange person. He is obviously the young master of the Leng family in North City. He has been raised in North City since he was a child. He has basically had no chance to contact the black market. Logically, he should not be the owner of a funeral home. Because according to rumors, the owner of the funeral home has always been in Lingnan. However, he had a car accident three years ago. After recovering, he went to Lingnan despite everyone's obstruction. After returning from there, his temperament has changed drastically."
"So I suspected that the real Leng Linfeng failed to come back from Lingnan, and that the funeral director pretended to be Leng Linfeng. But there is no evidence to prove its authenticity, and Leng Linfeng himself is vague about it."
Later, so many things happened that she couldn't take care of Leng Linfeng, so she never investigated further.
After listening to her, Gu Tangzhang asked, "Anything else?"
"???"
Lin Wu didn't quite understand what he meant, so he asked, "What does Mr. Gu mean?"
Gu Tangzhang then reminded: "The part about them and the Huo family."
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered something.
"Leng Linfeng is working for the Huo family."
"But that's not important. What's important is that he seems to hate the other four industries and has some grudges with them, and he himself is the victim of that grudge."
This is what Lin Wu heard Leng Linfeng say before.
Later, she told Cheng Man about it, and asked him to investigate. However, because so many things had happened, he forgot about the matter.
Now that he thought about it, Lin Wu realized that there was something strange about it.
If Leng Linfeng is really the head of the funeral industry, then he and the Huo family must have had a feud. After all, many people in the funeral industry died in the "511" case. The only two team members who were able to come back to report the news also died at the hands of the head of the Huo family.
Just because of this, Leng Linfeng and the Huo family became opposed to each other.
However, he helped the Huo family... Could it be that he was really Leng Linfeng himself, not the funeral owner in Lingnan, but became the new funeral owner by chance when he went to Lingnan? Gu Tangzhang murmured Leng Linfeng's name, "If he was the young master of the Leng family in Beicheng, he would not have any grudges with the other four industries. But he does, which means he is really a person in the funeral industry. But he is not necessarily the funeral owner."
Lin Wu was confused by this, "What do you mean?"
Gu Tangzhang said: "Wuwu, since you know that he has grievances with the other four groups, do you know what the grievances are?"
Lin Wu shook his head.
Gu Tangzhang sighed, "This feud is really about the other four industries being unfair to the funeral industry. No, to be more precise, they are being unfair to the family of the funeral industry owner eighteen years ago."
Lin Wu asked: "What happened? What does it have to do with Teacher Chi?"
Gu Tangzhang recalled, "This is also related to the '511' case. The team that went overseas never came back. At first, the five groups in Beijing and the five elements in the black market were very angry and wanted to see the person alive or dead. The funeral industry was the same. The person who went there was the brother of the boss. The two brothers had a close relationship and insisted on getting the person back."
"Not long after, they actually found a clue. They discovered that deep in the heart of Lingnan, there was a trace of the boss's brother. After the boss found out, he wanted to go there himself. However, the other bosses were disappointed so many times that they gradually gave up the search and stopped believing that the clue was real."
Lin Wu was slightly stunned, thinking that this clue might actually be true.
Because the team was not completely wiped out back then, the younger brother of the former funeral director should be among those who are still alive.
"The funeral director finally led his men there himself. They narrowly escaped death in the deep hinterland of Lingnan. Although they did not find the man, they did find a lot of evidence to prove that his brother had indeed been there. Although this was incredible, it was at least a hope. At the same time, they also found traces of people from other industries. At this time, the other industries reluctantly believed it and took the initiative to send people to reinforce the funeral director to work together to find the man."
"However, they still did not get anything, and then something shocking happened."
He said, "They encountered an accident during their search and were poisoned by a local poison. Not only the funeral director himself went there, but also the backbone elites of several other industries. If they died, it would be a fatal loss to the five elements. So those people tried their best to find a way to rescue them, but they couldn't find one, and people died one after another. In the end, the funeral director found them and rescued him and the few remaining people."
"Because the loss was too severe, they gave up trying to find someone to come back. But not long after they came back, the other four industries actually found something from the funeral director. This thing could completely cure the poison they had planted in Lingnan at that time."
Lin Wu asked: "Did the funeral director take it back?"
Gu Tangzhang shook his head: "The people who were with the funeral director said that they didn't see him bring anything back, so the thing must have been in his home. When they were detoxifying in Lingnan, it just so happened that the funeral director was the first to find the only and rare detoxifying thing. These two things connected together, and gave the other people an idea."
Lin Wu understood immediately: "Could it be that they suspect that the funeral director did this on purpose?"
"Yes, they suspect that the funeral industry owner wants to use this to undermine the elite backbones of other industries so that he can dominate the industry." Gu Tangzhang said, "Because in the '511' case, all five industries suffered losses, but the funeral industry suffered more than the other four industries. But after the other four industries suffered losses in Lingnan, the funeral industry was the most prominent."
"Therefore, the other four industries were extremely angry and went to the funeral home owner to settle the score. The funeral home owner and his family said that they didn't know why that thing appeared in their home and they were unaware of it, but the people from the other four industries didn't believe it and forced the funeral home owner to cut off their own hands and pay compensation, but the funeral home owner refused to agree."
Gu Tangzhang sighed, "That day was the first time that the other four industries came together to confront the funeral industry, and it was also the last time. The confrontation that day eventually turned into a fierce conflict. The two sides failed to reach an agreement, and the other four industries joined forces to deal with the funeral industry. In just one night, the entire family of the funeral industry owner was wiped out."
Lin Wu was slightly stunned.
Gu Tangzhang added: "Since that incident, the remaining people in the funeral industry are no longer willing to live in the capital and have retreated to Lingnan. That's why you heard that the owner of the funeral industry has been in Lingnan in recent years."
Lin Wu asked: "Since they attacked the funeral industry, why did they leave some of them alive, allowing the remaining funeral industry members to grow and develop in the south? Aren't they afraid of retaliation in the future? And it sounds like the funeral industry owner is sorry for the other four industries, why did they just say that the other four industries are sorry for the funeral industry?"
Gu Tangzhang explained: "In this case, anyone with a little bit of brains would think about the consequences of revenge and the severity of leaving the victim alive. The other four groups have also thought about wiping them out, but they are not kind people."
"However, just when they were all silencing each other, another incident occurred."
"After a night, the news of the funeral industry's misfortune finally spread. People in the underworld were shocked that they would suddenly attack the funeral industry. After inquiring about the situation, they felt that the funeral industry had brought it upon themselves, so they ignored it."
"And that morning, when the other four groups were about to kill everyone, someone appeared at the black market and stopped them."
Speaking of this, Gu Tangzhang sighed.
"That person showed up and said that the antidote that appeared in the funeral home was indeed not made by the funeral owner himself, but was entrusted by someone else to deliver it. It has nothing to do with the funeral owner at all."
Lin Wu's eyelids jumped, "So the funeral home owner and his family really died innocently at that time?"
Gu Tangzhang nodded, "Yes, the other four banks made a mistake. But how could they admit that they were wrong for such a big thing? If they really admitted their mistake, there would be no way to end such a big crime. So at that time, someone in the four banks suggested that they just let it go. They also wanted to kill the person who came."
Lin Wu frowned.
Gu Tangzhang said, "But they were a step too late. Before that person came, he had spread the news, and quite a few people knew about it. The old friend of the funeral owner finally stood up and saved that person. But the other four industries were unwilling to admit it, and finally after several negotiations, the following results were achieved. The four industries let the survivor of the funeral industry go, but this person also had to suppress the news about the funeral owner's family and not pursue it any further. It was true that the backbone elites of their industry died because of the funeral owner, and they also suffered a lot."
Lin Wu: “…………”
"Perhaps the funeral industry was severely damaged, and the remaining people were unable to compete with the other four industries, so they finally agreed and left Beijing for Lingnan. After that, the funeral industry became even more alienated from the other four industries. Not only did they not interact with each other, they also often confronted each other secretly." Gu Tangzhang said.
Lin Wu used to have a good impression of the four industries in the black market, but now that he suddenly knew all this, he had a blank expression on his face and didn't know what to say.
So this is the grudge that Leng Linfeng was referring to?
He was the one who survived the funeral business, and his family died at the hands of the other four businesses in the conflict that night? Then how did he go from being a disciple to becoming the head of the business, and even the eldest son of the Leng family in North City? No, this is not the important matter at the moment.
Lin Wu looked at Gu Tangzhang, his eyes darkened. "I don't know about these past events, and neither do Cheng Man and the others. This is enough to prove that these events were suppressed well and not spread out. Then how did you know so much, Mr. Gu? At that time, didn't the Five Clans and the black market stop dealing with each other because of the '511' case? Even if you could hear the rumors, you wouldn't be able to find out the secrets of the Five Elements so clearly."
Gu Tangzhang was silent for a moment, "Because this matter is related to your mother to some extent."
