Finally, Gua Jiu helped Shi Jin out of the predicament. He patted him with his hand, pointed to the sea in the distance, and said, "Nine Eagles are coming." Shi
Jin immediately turned his head and looked over, and then took back his middle finger, pretending that nothing had happened. As
expected, the figure of Nine Eagles appeared on the sea in the distance. The ship of Nine Eagles was very large, and a golden flag with an eagle painted on it was very childish, which made it very easy to recognize.
People from other organizations also gradually noticed the arrival of Nine Eagles, and the deck, which had been relatively quiet, immediately became agitated.
"It's Jiuying."
"Jiuying is getting later and later."
"I heard that Mie can no longer control them."
Various whispers and discussions came from different corners. Shi Jin heard all these words clearly because of Xiao Si's hearing buff. He looked at Jiuying's big ship and frowned slightly - Jiuying has affected Mie's intimidation in the underworld, which is not a good thing.
"Pretending." A short-haired woman in her forties, dressed very socially, suddenly spoke disdainfully. The voice was not loud, but many people noticed it because of her special hoarse voice.
Everyone looked over.
But the woman had already retracted her gaze and stopped watching Jiuying's final performance. After saying hello to the conference host Zhang Zhuoyuan, she took the people to the large conference room connected to the deck.
"She is the leader of the Wolf Spiders, named Lu Shan, who is very experienced and an old acquaintance of Young Master Jun, but on the surface, they are hostile to each other." Gua Jiu explained in a low voice in Shi Jin's ear.
Shi Jin was surprised, and took a look at Lu Shan, and then confirmed the location of the Wolf Spider's boat, and silently marked the Wolf Spider with a green dot representing friendship in his heart.
While the two were talking, Jiuying's boat had already approached, and it moved outside the circle of boats, and finally squeezed out several small boats on the periphery and stopped on the other side of Mie, and together with Guishe's boat, it sandwiched Mie's boat.
Xiao Si was so scared that he couldn't breathe. He said, "Go in, baby's progress bar has risen to 900, just after Jiuying's ship stopped next to baby's ship!"
Shi Jin frowned fiercely and looked at Jiuying's ship unhappily. The progress bar rose so sharply, and Jiuying's purpose of stopping the ship was obviously not pure.
Gua Jiu's expression was also very ugly. His baby face was stern, and a rare trace of disgust appeared on his face: "The leader of Jiuying probably doesn't want to live anymore." Those who
understand the situation know that Jiuying's seemingly normal action of stopping the ship is actually a provocation to Mie, so they all looked at Lian Jun, who was still sitting in the middle of the deck, staring at the situation of people getting on the ship with Zhang Zhuoyuan, to see how he would react.
Lian Jun was also looking in the direction of the Jiuying ship, his expression did not change. He even had time to take out his mobile phone to check the time, and said to Zhang Zhuoyuan, "It's already nine forty-five, let's get ready to start the meeting."
Zhang Zhuoyuan retracted his gaze from the Jiuying after hearing this, and did not ask what to do with the Jiuying that had not yet built the bridge, or whether they should wait for them. He nodded to Liu Zhenjun who was standing outside the cockpit on the third floor. Liu Zhenjun waved his hand, and the soldiers waiting in various corners of the deck moved together, directly raising the deck fences that had been lowered for building the bridge, and dispersed at fixed distances to surround the deck.
The leaders of the organizations still on the deck saw this and their eyes moved. The smarter ones immediately guessed that the authorities must be dissatisfied with Jiuying's arrogance. The dumber ones could also sense that Jiuying would most likely be turned away by the authorities because of his late arrival.
Everyone walked towards the conference room connected to the deck with their minds wandering. When they arrived at the door of the conference room, all the people brought by the leader stopped, and only the leader entered the conference room. Those who had followed the leader into the conference room in advance to wait for the meeting to start also began to walk out.
Soon, all the leaders of the organizations on the deck entered the conference room, leaving only their subordinates outside.
Lian Jun was also not allowed to bring his subordinates into the conference room. When he reached the door, he waved his hand to let Gua Yi stay outside, then glanced at the position of Shi Jin and Gua Jiu from the corner of his eye. He found that Shi Jin was not looking at him. He frowned, but quickly frowned, and entered the conference room with Zhang Zhuoyuan.
At 9:55, the door of the conference room was closed. At the same time, the floor-to-ceiling curtains that blocked all situations in the conference room were all raised, and large glass windows were exposed, showing the scene in the conference room clearly.
After the curtains were raised, the subordinates waiting outside looked through the glass windows at the positions of their leaders, which made the leaders of the organizations sitting in the conference room look like a group of monkeys being watched.
Shi Jin: "..." This seemed different from the secret meeting he thought.
Gua Jiu explained: "These glasses are specially made and bulletproof. The leaders entering the conference room cannot bring weapons, but their subordinates can. In this way, even if there is a conflict outside, the people in the conference room will not be hurt. Once there is any movement in the conference room, the people guarding outside can also rush in to help. This is the result of a compromise between the authorities and us, and it has been maintained for many years." Shi
Jin could only say again: "..."
The table in the conference room is rectangular. Zhang Zhuoyuan sits in the first seat, and there are several assistants beside him, who should help with paperwork. Lian Jun sits on the right hand side of Zhang Zhuoyuan, and Lu Shan is the next one. The seat opposite him is empty. Judging from the situation, it should belong to the late leader of the Nine Eagles.
The leader of the ghost den has no real name, only a code name - Old Ghost. He sits diagonally opposite Lian Jun, fourth from the left, in the first echelon, and his position is not very good.
At ten o'clock, the meeting started on time, and Zhang Zhuoyuan's assistant began to distribute materials and equipment.
People outside can't hear the sound inside. After Shi Jin saw Lian Jun holding a stack of materials and starting to read, he retracted his sight and looked at the Nine Eagles' ship again.
The people of Nine Eagles were building gangways and crossbridges. They arrived too late. Although they stopped at a place closer to the official ship, because Mie beside him was not prepared to help him build the ladder, he could only take a detour and do it himself.
Objectively speaking, the Nine Eagles were quite fast in putting up the ladder, but they arrived too late. By the time they finished putting up the ladder, the meeting had already started for more than ten minutes.
Liu Zhenjun went down to the deck and watched the leader of the Nine Eagles come over along the cross bridge, and then was blocked outside by the deck fence. He said with a stern face, "Please go back. Once the fence is closed, you have to wait until the meeting is over before you can start again. Please come early for the afternoon meeting."
The leader of the Nine Eagles was a young man about the same age as Lian Jun. He looked pretty good and looked a bit ruffian. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that so... forget it. Anyway, the morning meeting is just to call everyone's names. It's boring. You go ahead. I'll go back first. Bye." After that, he really left with his people in a swagger.
Liu Zhenjun watched him leave coldly, then turned around and went back to the cab.
Shi Jin had never thought that the leader of the Nine Eagles would be so arrogant, and was speechless for a moment. He asked, "Has he always been so arrogant? Is he like this to the officials as well?"
"He's a brainless person." Gua Jiu commented, his tone was full of disdain. "If there's no time to build a ladder, won't he take a boat? He can definitely make it to the meeting in time. He's just too proud and brainless. He's so brazenly offending the authorities. He probably thinks his life is too easy."
After hearing what he said, Shi Jin felt that the leader of Jiuying was so arrogant that he didn't seem to be a brainless person. Instead, he seemed to have something in his hand that would never be targeted by the authorities or brought down by other organizations, so he was very fearless.
"Shi Jin." Gua Jiu suddenly turned Shi Jin's head.
Shi Jin came back to his senses and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Gua Jiu pointed to a certain direction on the deck and said, "That person has been looking at you, as if he knows you." Shi
Jin turned his head and looked over. Not surprisingly, he found that the person looking at him was Fei Yujing, whom he had deliberately ignored and neglected. His eyebrows jumped, and he decisively chose to retract his gaze, turned sideways to face the sea, and replied: "That's my second brother Fei Yujing. I want to pretend that I don't know him. Please cooperate."
Gua Jiu was surprised and speechless. He turned sideways to look at the sea with him and asked: "I remember that your second brother is a lawyer. How could he appear in this occasion?"
"I don't know either. He came here with the boss of Guishe." Shi Jin replied.
Gua Jiu nodded to show that he understood, and took out his mobile phone to report the situation to Gua Yi.
So when Lian Jun pretended to look at the corner where Shi Jin was during the break of the meeting, he found that Shi Jin was actually looking at the scenery with a carefree attitude, not caring about his employer who was in a "wolf's den".
"Is that your new subordinate?" Lu Shan, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice while flipping through documents.
Lian Jun withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, and also pretended to flip through documents, and replied: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"Tsk, you really become less lovable as you grow older." Lu Shan frowned in dissatisfaction, and obviously moved her stool to the other side, as if she didn't want to get too close to Lian Jun.
Others soon noticed their movements, and when they saw that Lu Shan moved her chair to keep a distance from Lian Jun, they all withdrew their gazes as if they were used to it.
The older the organization, the more enemies it has. Both Mie and Wolf Spider are old and large organizations. Over the years, the hatred between the two organizations has accumulated for various reasons, which is estimated to be deeper than the sea outside. However, the official arranges the leaders of the two organizations to sit together every year. I don’t know what the intention is.
The morning meeting was just a simple summary and inventory, and it was dispersed on time at 11:30. The afternoon meeting will start at 2 o'clock, which is the highlight of today.
The subordinates of each family met their leaders at the door of the conference room, and after Liu Zhenjun sent someone to lower the deck fence again, they dispersed.
Shi Jin had been looking at the sea for more than an hour, and Fei Yujing had been staring at his back for more than an hour. He was exhausted. Seeing Lian Jun coming out, he hurried over and took the job of pushing the wheelchair. He asked, "Master Jun, are you tired of attending the meeting?"
"Not as tired as you looking at the scenery." Lian Jun replied with a calm tone and expression. Shi Jin
nodded very straightforwardly and rubbed his eyes, saying, "It's very tiring to look at the scenery. Looking at the blue color of the sea for a long time will make your eyes swell."
Lian Jun tightened his hands on the wheelchair, his expression became even more indifferent, and he said, "Then you can watch something else in the afternoon."
"I'm also planning to watch something else in the afternoon. Although there is no signal on my mobile phone at sea, I can still play stand-alone mahjong. I plan to play mahjong in the afternoon." Shi Jin was very happy to share his happiness, and suggested, "Young Master Jun, you can also play stand-alone games to relax during the breaks in the meeting. I brought a power bank, do you want one?"
Lian Jun decided not to talk to him for the time being, for fear that he would get angry and reveal some flaws, which would be seen by those cunning people.
Without getting a response, Shi Jin wanted to ask more, but Gua Yi finally couldn't help it, and held his shoulders and pulled him back, taking over the job of pushing the wheelchair. He gave Gua Er a look that said "keep an eye on him", and pushed Lian Jun to go first.
Gua Er took the opportunity to catch Shi Jin and covered his mouth. Shi
Jin felt that he was being targeted, so he poked Gua Er's eyes with his backhand.
The group was talking and making a fuss, and was about to go down to the restaurant on the first floor for lunch, when the leader of the ghost den suddenly caught up from behind and called Lian Jun.
Lian Jun waved his hand to signal Gua Yi to stop, and turned his head to look at Lao Gui who was approaching quickly with Fei Yujing. His eyes paused on Fei Yujing and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Lao Gui?"
"I want to have lunch with you." Lao Gui answered simply, but he gestured the number "9" with his hand.
"9", nine, nine eagles.
Lian Jun understood his hint, nodded, and said: "Then come together, who is this?"
"Fei Yujing, the lawyer I hired. Recently, several businesses under my name have run into problems, and several assistants have been trapped. He is here to help." The old ghost answered, and then introduced to Fei Yujing, "This is Lian Jun, the leader of Mie."
Fei Yujing took the initiative to extend his hand to Lian Jun, with a very formal and polite attitude, and said: "Nice to meet you."
Lian Jun raised his hand and shook hands with him, but did not respond to him. He just nodded as a response, and then signaled Guayi to continue pushing him to the restaurant.
Seeing this, Lao Gui was a little confused. Lian Jun's performance just now clearly showed that he was not very interested in Fei Yujing, but Lian Jun was definitely not the kind of person who would be so rude to someone he met for the first time. He frowned and asked Fei Yujing in a low voice, "Have you met Lian Jun before?"
"No." Fei Yujing shook his head, his eyes always on Shi Jin who was trying to act as a stranger and background board. After thinking about Lian Jun's attitude, he replied, "Mr. Lian's attitude should be due to some other personal reasons. Don't worry, I won't make mistakes."
Lao Gui still had confidence in him, so he was relieved after hearing this and didn't continue asking.
The group sat down in the restaurant's private room.
Shi Jin could feel Fei Yujing's eyes still falling on him from time to time, but he continued to pretend not to notice and sat at the end of the table with Gua Jiu, eating in silence.
With Lao Gui around, everyone was more reserved. Except for Lian Jun, Lao Gui, and Fei Yujing, no one else spoke at the table.
After the initial greetings, Lao Gui finally got to the point.
"My business in the southeast region has run into some problems. It has now been confirmed that it was caused by Jiuying. Zuo Yang, the leader of Jiuying, is very ambitious. He doesn't want your position, but a higher position. As far as I know, he has already hooked up with some local organizations in the southeast region. This is why I got into trouble this time. The situation in the southeast region is getting more and more chaotic. Jiuying came here to mess up my situation. I am not prepared to compete with him, but I can give up the business, but I must save all the people. I can't abandon my brothers."
Lian Jun pointed at the armrest of the wheelchair and asked, "So?"
"So I invited lawyer Fei to come here, and I'm going to do it openly, using the economic case as a cover, and let the authorities put pressure on them, and extradite my people back through formal channels. This is the safest way I can think of to save people at the moment." Lao Gui told him everything he knew, and his attitude was very sincere.
Lian Jun heard this and probably understood his intention, and said, "Lao Gui, you are not such a naive person. Jiuying and local organizations have detained people together, and they have crossed the border. The official's hand can't reach that far."
Lao Gui said, "I know the official's hand can't reach that far, but you can."
This is asking for help.
Gua Yi and Gua Er both looked over, then retracted their gazes as if nothing had happened and continued to eat.
Lian Jun did not reply. The atmosphere at the table was a little dull for a while. Lao Gui was obviously a little anxious, but he managed to keep a calm face and did not urge Lian Jun to give an immediate answer.
"Excuse me, who is this?" Fei Yujing, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly spoke up and directed his topic to Shi Jin who was chewing pork ribs.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table looked at Shi Jin in unison, their movements were very uniform. Shi
Jin was locked in by everyone's gaze. He didn't know whether to spit out the pork rib bone in his mouth or not. He glanced at Fei Yujing and then at Lian Jun, his expression innocent.
"He is my new subordinate, codenamed Gua Si." Lian Jun answered, looked at Fei Yujing and asked, "Why, Lawyer Fei, are you interested in my subordinate?"
Upon hearing this, Fei Yujing moved his gaze away from Shi Jin and replied calmly, "I am a little interested. After all, I haven't seen anyone with such a 'special' way of eating for a long time. It's a bit of an eye-opener."
This was a roundabout way of saying that Shi Jin's eating habits were ugly.
Shi Jin spat out the bone, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that Attorney Fei has such a narrow view that he has never seen me enjoy the food with all my heart. I guess he must have had a hard life in the past few decades. Jun Shao, it seems that my eating habits have affected Attorney Fei's meal. Do you think I should leave first?"
"No need." Lian Jun answered in a light tone, "Gua San, ask someone to open a separate table for Attorney Fei."
Gua San put down his chopsticks and stood up.
The others were concentrating on eating, as if they didn't hear anything.
Lao Gui didn't expect things to turn out like this. Seeing that Lian Jun really wanted to open a separate table for Fei Yujing, he hurriedly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, comforted Shi Jin, and even stood up and pretended to go and stop Gua San.
Lian Jun could embarrass Fei Yujing, but he couldn't give Lao Gui face, so he took advantage of the situation and gave up Gua San, but his attitude became even colder. Shi Jin
stuffed another piece of pork ribs into his mouth in front of Fei Yujing, which was full of provocation.
Fei Yujing looked straight at him, without any embarrassment on his face, but instead a deep thoughtful look.
During the meal, Lao Gui kept trying to bring the topic back to the previous topic, but Lian Jun stopped talking and practiced Tai Chi with him the whole time. Perhaps he was too impatient. When the dinner was about to end, Lao Gui suddenly fell silent for a while, and then said with a desperate move: "Master Jun, as long as you help me this time, I can help you get rid of Jiuying."
This was a big sacrifice. Guixie had always kept a low profile and never took the initiative to cause trouble. Now that he said this, it was almost like he was willing to be used as a gun by Lian Jun.
Lian Jun remained indifferent and said, "I don't have any idea about Jiuying."
Lao Gui was a little helpless, and his expression was obviously impatient. Fei Yujing suddenly spoke again at this time, still pointing at Shi Jin, and said, "I'm sorry." Shi Jin
was puzzled, and then strangely found that his progress bar had dropped back to 550.
Lian Jun glanced at Fei Yujing and finally relented, saying: "Old Ghost, I can help you pass the message to the authorities and ask them to cooperate with your economic case, but I will not interfere in the southeast. Your brother's life is life, and my brother's life is also life."
Old Ghost was happy at first when he heard him relent, but after hearing what he said, his brows wrinkled again, and he was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "There is actually another reason why I was targeted by Jiuying." The truth
is finally revealed.
The atmosphere at the table relaxed inexplicably, and Lian Jun leaned back in his chair and said, "You go ahead."
Seeing his attitude, Lao Gui knew that Lian Jun was playing a psychological game on him. He sighed in his heart and said, "My subordinates found that Jiuying was investigating the doctor you had back then, and found some clues in the southeast district."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the table changed instantly. Gua Yi and others couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Lao Gui who was speaking.
"Continue eating." Lian Jun knocked on the table.
So everyone calmed down again, eating and chatting. It seemed that they had returned to normal, but in fact their attention was all on Lao Gui.
Shi Jin also looked at Lao Gui with a frown on his face. He felt that the doctor Lao Gui mentioned was related to Lian Jun's current physical condition, and his heartstrings were a little tense.
Lao Gui was a little scared by the strange atmosphere at the table, so he simply confessed everything he knew at once and said, "After discovering Jiuying's movements, I ordered my subordinates to pay attention to them for a while, and followed their tracks to find a small, unremarkable hospital in the local area. This hospital is just a very old community hospital on the surface, but it is actually a place used by a local organization to stockpile goods. The doctor who betrayed you, He has been hiding in there all these years. He had plastic surgery and changed his identity. If it weren't for the people of Jiuying who have been keeping an eye on him, I wouldn't have noticed his strangeness. "
Lian Jun listened to him quietly and asked, "Where is he?"
The old ghost clenched his fist and replied, "He was taken away by the people of Jiuying after my subordinates tried to approach him."
The atmosphere at the table changed again. Everyone was not stupid. They understood what the old ghost meant. The approach in the old ghost's mouth was definitely not a simple approach, but to snatch the person from Jiuying. As for the purpose of snatching people, needless to say, it must be the same as Jiuying, wanting to use this person to do something against Mie or Lian Jun.
It's a pity that the ghost den is not strong enough to intercept the person, but was bitten by Jiuying instead. Now that the ghost den has been in the southeast region for two years, the old ghost has no choice but to ask for help from Lian Jun, who he was planning to plot against. This behavior is also very disgusting. No wonder he has been unwilling to really confess before. With such a previous cause, it is lucky that Lian Jun did not kill him. How could he help him save people?
