There is probably such a strange situation. Many bars, or so-called venues, are places where there are a bunch of fierce-looking men watching over them. Some people will feel uneasy, thinking that these places are dirty, filthy, and may be doing some shameful things.
However, the fact is quite counter-intuitive. In Wanghai recently, the places protected by these underworld brothers are cleaner, while those places with clean signs are more likely to encounter dirty things.
This is a microcosm of an era where small evils are perpetrated while big evils go unpunished.
It was as if everyone was looking towards the sky, waiting for the storm that had been brewing for a long time to settle, to see who would soar and who would fall, and who would establish a new way of playing in the new order.
Chen Tinghan has experienced the vicissitudes of the times, but did not play any important role in them, because last time he was very young, ignorant and could only follow the back of one person.
Doing it again, he didn't seem to have much influence, but he was just a shadow, and the direction of the undercurrent was completely inseparable from Chen Tinghan.
"I really envy you. You have a smooth life, a peaceful childhood, and then you step on the shoulders of big men and soar to the sky." In the noisy bar, Ji Yanghai's just-right voice accurately reached Chen Tinghan's ears:
"You can succeed in everything you do, but I have endless revenge to take every day, and I'm locked in the past every day. So the person I can't understand the most in this world is you. What are you trying to achieve?"
Chen Tinghan stood behind him for a while, confirming that there was nothing fishy about this place, before he sat down and responded with a hint of sarcasm: "Is anyone forcing you to seek revenge?"
Ji Yanghai said decisively: "Yes, those who have been dead for who knows how many years are urging me to die every day."
Chen Tinghan pondered everything about him, and after a moment he said, "I've been looking for your whereabouts for a while. I have to say, it's really fate that plays tricks on me."
"It's fate? Where do I even begin to explain this?" Ji Yanghai was a little puzzled.
"I just recently found out that you returned to your hometown in the mountains, so I also found out that you are also from Puzhen."
Ji Yanghai raised his eyebrows and said, "But you are not."
"Officer Zhou, whom you nearly killed that day, was from Shangpo Village and attended a village-run primary school." Chen Tinghan said, "And there was a teacher in that primary school whose surname was Liu."
Ji Yanghai was surprised. He looked at Chen Tinghan, trying to figure out whether this guy was lying to him or whether it was true.
Chen Tinghan said, "That school is called Shangpo Hope Primary School. If you're interested, the old school site is still there. Graduates still go back to visit from time to time. On the podium of the only classroom in the school, there's a sealed roster of the last graduating class. If you flip through it, you'll definitely see Zhou Jinwei's name.
And if you calculate the time, you two are brothers from the same class."
"That's true, fate plays tricks on us." Ji Yanghai smiled slightly and said, "But using this to get close to me was a miscalculation. I didn't visit that teacher this time when I went back. She must have left that remote place."
"And you've even found this out. You must have put in a lot of effort. But I'm still curious. How did you find me? Looking for a needle in a haystack in Wanghai? Impossible, right?"
"Of course not, it's just some small calculations." Chen Tinghan said.
"Let me guess, something must have gone wrong with Shi Zirui." Ji Yanghai took a sip of his wine and said, "When she contacted me, I felt something was amiss. Conventionally, the only people who could contact me were the eldest lady and her.
But this time she was in a hurry and used the emergency plan, sending a woman to find me. At that time, I vaguely felt that you might come. I had already made preparations, but I didn’t expect that you would still find me.
Chen Tinghan said, "It's nothing mysterious. I just guessed how Shi Zirui would react in this situation."
"Pushing her into a desperate situation, she wouldn't have contacted me alone as a last resort. You're also tied to this rope. To protect our shared secret, she can only contact you to handle it." Chen Tinghan said, "Of course, this statement is too absolute and too idealistic. In practice, many variables may arise, but in order to find you, some risks must be taken. It seems I'm lucky.
Guess who she wants to silence the most, and after pushing forward step by step, she finally found you."
Looking at the nonchalant Chen Tinghan, Ji Yanghai really admired him, but it was a pity that he was his enemy.
Ji Yanghai put down his wine glass, his murderous intent undisguised, and said, "So you're here to avenge him, the police officer, and want me to pay you back with blood?"
"No."
"So you're still holding onto that childish idea and trying to talk to me about the law?" Ji Yanghai said coldly, "You can try. I've planted bombs in three random locations in Wanghai City. No matter how clever you are, you won't be able to find them. If I'm caught or killed, these bombs will explode, and who knows how many people will die."
"I believe you're a very good bomber, so unfortunately, I don't want to arrest you." Chen Tinghan spread his hands and said, "I just want to talk to you."
Ji Yanghai frowned and said, "Talk, you went through so much trouble just to talk to me? You don't think you can convince me, do you?"
"That's even more wrong." Chen Tinghan said, "I know you're just like her, a person who's determined to keep going down this evil path until the end."
Ji Yanghai said: "Then I don't understand."
Chen Tinghan sighed and said helplessly, "I've always had a very stupid idea. I thought I could convince Wang Jinling, but that's just a fantasy."
"So I had to change my thinking. Just like we had to deal with Wang Kai, Zhang Keqi, and Li Ze, who were an impenetrable wall that we couldn't get around, if we wanted to deal with Wang Jinling, you and Shi Zirui would also have to go through a difficult path. Once you understand this, her weaknesses become very clear."
"You are a little too arrogant." Ji Yanghai said with a smile.
"Not arrogant, not at all." Chen Tinghan smiled back and said, "I'm really fed up with you. As long as you're still under her control, she will take extreme measures day after day, year after year, until she pushes herself off the cliff.
So I decided to use an offer you couldn't refuse."
Ji Yanghai still didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Tell me about it."
Chen Tinghan waved his hand, pulled out a document from his pocket, and said, "I don't have that much to say. All the information I've learned from my investigations during this period is here. It should be enough."
"I only have one request of you. It's best to read this document before deciding whether to tell Wang Jinling about all this."
