The atmosphere at the dinner table became dull. Gua Yi and the others no longer concealed their emotions and stared at Lao Gui with unfriendly eyes.
"Mr. Lian, whether you believe it or not, when I wanted to intercept him, I didn't want to use him to do something bad to you or Mie." Lao Gui explained with a sincere tone.
Lian Jun was not so easy to fool. He said, "But if you just want to intercept the man and use him to show your good will to me, then the best thing for you to do is to inform me immediately after getting the information about him. In this way, you will not have to face Jiuying directly, and you can also earn a favor from me. You don't want to make such a calculated deal, but you choose to take the risk and confront Jiuying. Excuse me, I don't see any goodwill towards me in your choice."
Lao Gui was choked. He knew that he could no longer hide anything in front of Lian Jun. Thinking of those brothers who were still in a life-and-death situation, his straight back suddenly bent down. He wiped his face and said, "Yes, I admit that I want to intercept the man. I really want to use him to do something. I even want to get the parent copy of the poison that you were poisoned with that year from him. I know you need it."
Hearing the word "parent copy", Gua Yi and others' emotions immediately became agitated.
Lian Jun waved his hand to signal them to stay calm, looked at Lao Gui and asked, "You know I need this, so what do you want to do with it?"
Lao Gui replied grimly, "Exchange it for your resource help. The official has not taken any action in recent years, but has been making small moves secretly. I can roughly guess what they want to do, so I want you to take me with you to find a way out. What I need is not something that can be exchanged for a small information or favor. In order to get a chip that will make you help me with all your strength, I have to take the risk and confront Jiuying."
Lian Jun had to admit that Lao Gui was indeed very smart. He was able to infer the official's intentions based on some small actions of the official in secret, and immediately locked the chance of survival on himself. But sometimes smart people always do stupid things.
There was no need to continue the conversation. Lian Jun slid his wheelchair slightly, faced Lao Gui, and said, "I will thank you for providing information today. I will find a way to rescue the people you have detained in the southeast region. I will also help you get help from the authorities, but I will not speak for you. Whether you can get official help depends on your own ability." After speaking, he glanced at Gua Yi, who immediately stood up and held his wheelchair.
Gua Er and others also stood up tacitly, no longer looking at Lao Gui, and followed Lian Jun to the outside of the private room. Shi
Jin and Gua Jiu fell behind, and just as Shi Jin was about to step out of the private room, Fei Yujing's voice came from inside the door.
"Shi Jin, you shouldn't be here." Shi
Jin paused, and said without turning back: "No, you shouldn't be here." After that, he left.
Xiao Si was a little confused and said, "Jin Jin, your progress bar has been regressed to 500."
"Normal." Shi Jin replied, having already figured out Fei Yujing's train of thought. "Fei Yujing is a person who puts profit above all else. He used to be nice to me and acted in front of me because I could provide him with benefits. Later, when I lost my usefulness, he withdrew very neatly. When we met in the morning, I showed hostility to him under the identity of a member of a violent organization, which was an unstable factor that might threaten his business this time, so he naturally became wary of me. Now I am sure that I am a subordinate of the person his employer wants to show goodwill to this time, and I can be considered a person who can provide him with benefits. How do you think he will treat me?"
Xiao Si replied hesitantly, "Will he show goodwill to you?"
"He has already started to do this. The sentence just now was his test." Shi Jin felt very bored when he said this. Thinking of Fei Yujing's attitude towards the original owner in the original plot, he made up his mind that no matter what Fei Yujing was going to do next, he would not accept the other party's script. As soon as
Lian Jun left the private room, he called Zhang Zhuoyuan and told him about the ghost den, and then sent a text message to Lao Gui, asking him to go directly to Zhang Zhuoyuan.
Gua Yi was a little puzzled and asked, "Master Jun, why do you want to help Lao Gui? I can understand saving people, but helping him to connect with the authorities..."
Lian Jun hung up the satellite phone and replied, "Lao Gui is a smart man and suitable to be an ally, but he needs a little persuasion. Helping him to connect with the authorities is to do him a favor and to sever ties with him. The authorities don't want me to suddenly have an extra helper. Don't forget who we live in now. On the official ship, our contact with Lao Gui will definitely be known by the authorities. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the authorities, we must take the initiative to let the authorities participate in this contact and give them the control they want. "
Gua Yi was thoughtful after hearing this, and probably understood what Lian Jun meant - in a word, on the official ship, no matter what you do, it is best to go through the eyes and hands of the officials, and give the officials a hand, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
The two walked forward for a while, and Lian Jun suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Jin who was following at the end, and said: "Pay more attention to Fei Yujing."
Gua Yi also turned his head to look at Shi Jin who was walking at the end, nodded and responded in a low voice.
Not long after the dinner ended, Lao Gui was invited to the office by Zhang Zhuoyuan. He did not come out until the afternoon meeting was about to start. When he came out, his expression was serious, his brows were slightly furrowed, but his face was much less anxious, and his steps were much more relaxed.
Lian Jun hung up the call from Zhang Zhuoyuan and said, "The authorities accepted Guishe's surrender and said they would cooperate with their economic case operations and help them get people out, but they did not agree to help Guishe clean up and transform to ensure the safety of their entire organization."
Gua Yi and others' expressions relaxed a little after hearing this - the officials were not stupid after all. After accepting the face they sold, they also appropriately returned some of their sincerity and trust.
"It seems that if the ghosts want to get out of this mess, they have to bleed heavily once." Gua Er spoke, and although his tone was serious, there was a little bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.
He was very vindictive, and the old ghost had wanted to plot against them before, and he had not let it go yet.
Shi Jin was sitting next to Lian Jun, holding a half-peeled orange in his hand. Hearing this and seeing that they had no intention of continuing this topic, he tried to change the topic and asked: "The doctor who was taken away by Jiuying, and the mother copy that the doctor might have in his hand..." As soon as
these words came out, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the room immediately became tense again.
Guayi and the others actually wanted to bring up this topic in their hearts, but they were always concerned about Lian Jun, so they held back and didn't bring it up. Now that Shi Jin had spoken, they quickly turned their attention to Lian Jun.
Lian Jun glanced at them and said, "Let's talk about this after the afternoon meeting. Zuo Yang, the leader of the Nine Eagles, will definitely come to the meeting in the afternoon. Given his personality, if he really has something in his hand, he will definitely come to test me. Let's see his attitude first."
Guayi and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Seeing that Lian Jun was not reluctant to bring up this topic, but had already made a plan in his mind, they all felt relieved.
Only Shi Jin was still confused and worried.
Seeing this, Lian Jun asked Guayi and the others to leave first, leaving Shi Jin alone.
Shi Jin immediately handed the peeled orange to Lian Jun and said, "Try it, it's very sweet. I heard that people who stay at sea for a long time will lack a lot of vitamins. You have to pay more attention."
To be honest, oranges peeled purely by hand are very ugly, but Lian Jun thought the orange peeled by Shi Jin was very cute, very round, like a ball, and with a sweet fragrance.
"Vitamin deficiency is caused by unbalanced diet. The official ships are well-supplied and this problem will not occur." Lian Jun explained, ate a slice of orange, praised it for being very sweet, then used a tissue to wipe the orange juice off Shi Jin's hands, and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you everything."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jin forgot to care about his hand being held by him. He hurriedly moved closer and asked, "The doctor who betrayed you...is he the one who caused your legs to become like this?"
Lian Jun nodded and replied, "Yes, his name is Long Shi, and he is Uncle Long's adopted son. He is very talented, but it's a pity that he turned against us."
He is actually Uncle Long's adopted son?
Shi Jin frowned and asked, "What about the mother copy..."
"Long Shi, like Uncle Long, majored in nutrition and physical conditioning. Uncle Long originally intended for him to inherit his position and continue to take care of me, but Long Shi doesn't like those gentle subjects. He likes to see blood and likes to study various poisons. The poison I was poisoned with was made by refining toxins from a variety of organisms. The ingredients currently known include snake venom and a certain kind of highly poisonous seaweed, all of which are psychotropic toxins. The poison in my body was not completely eliminated back then. If you want to completely eliminate it, you must get the complete mother copy of the toxin and conduct targeted research, but Long Shi took the mother copy away."
The more Shi Jin listened, the tighter his brows frowned, and his expression even became a little solemn.
Lian Jun felt soft-hearted when he saw him like this. He reached out and pressed his hand between his brows and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't have the mother copy. There are only so many neurotoxins in the world, and you can sooner or later piece together the ingredients of the mixed poison I used that year using the stupid method of permutations and combinations. It just will take a little longer."
"I'm not stupid." Shi Jin pulled his hand down, his brows still wrinkled. "Although I don't understand medical things, I still know that drugs will react with each other and produce new elements. This is not a simple permutation and combination. This is like picking up a needle in a haystack."
"The ocean also has limits. You'll be able to pick up a needle sooner or later." Lian Jun was still trying to comfort him.
Shi Jin looked at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Yes, the sea has its limits, but your life is also limited. If you just wait, who knows when the result will come out? We must find a way to get Long Shi back from Jiuying and examine him carefully."
"We must get the person back." Lian Jun continued to comfort him. After thinking about it, he decided to give him a preventive shot first and said, "But you'd better not hold out too much hope for the mother copy. Long Shi is a cunning man. The clues you can get from him may be false, or they may be used to set another trap. Shi Jin, don't worry about it." Shi Jin
was silent, and secretly retorted in his heart: No, as long as the person is brought back and Xiao Si is there, he will be able to get the real mother copy components from Long Shi.
The afternoon meeting started on time. Shi Jin and Gua Jiu stood in the same position as they had in the morning. However, this time, they did not look at the sea, but looked in the direction of the Nine Eagles' ship.
Their actions did not attract much attention, because most people on the deck were staring at the direction of the Nine Eagles' ship, wanting to see if Zuo Yang would cancel the afternoon meeting again.
However, to everyone's disappointment, at 1:50, Zuo Yang appeared on the deck of the Nine Eagles' ship and walked towards the official ship in a nonchalant manner.
Everyone withdrew their gazes in boredom - it seemed that they would not be able to see the drama of the big organization and the official confrontation, what a pity.
Three minutes later, Zuo Yang jumped onto the official deck and met Lian Jun's line of sight in the middle of the deck. He smiled and waved to Lian Jun, saying, "Hi, Lian Jun, long time no see. You look better than last year. Sick beauties are more lovable." Shi Jin's
face darkened when he heard this, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit him - Zuo Yang was really mean enough to make fun of the appearance and body of an organization leader.
Lian Jun was obviously not someone who could be teased without getting angry. He stretched his hand back and took the gun that Gua Yi had put up, loaded the bullet, aimed at Zuo Yang without hesitation, and shot him directly.
Bang!
This shot was very tricky, aiming at Zuo Yang's groin. It was not difficult to dodge, but if he wanted to dodge, the action would definitely not be very good.
Lian Jun's original intention was to embarrass Zuo Yang, but Zuo Yang was so overly proud that he pulled a subordinate to block the bullet.
This subordinate was relatively tall, and the bullet hit his thigh near the center of his leg. The moment he was shot, his legs went limp and he almost fell down, with blood gushing out.
The expressions of the people on the deck became very ugly.
There was nothing wrong with being shot in a sudden attack, but as the leader of an organization, he could have easily dodged the bullet himself, but chose to pull his subordinate to block it just for the sake of face. This behavior was really too disheartening.
"Zuo Yang, you look so good dodging bullets, and you are so lovable." Lian Jun replied coldly, returned the gun to Gua Yi, looked at Zhang Zhuoyuan beside him, and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped the gun."
Zhang Zhuoyuan replied considerately, "It's okay, as long as you don't enter the conference room, we won't care about the personal friction between the organizations."
This was clearly to support Lian Jun.
Lian Jun thanked him, looked at Zuo Yang with special consideration, and said, "The doctors following me are all top-notch. Your subordinate seems to be in a bad condition. Do you need help?"
Zuo Yang was obviously irritated, but he tried to keep a smile on his face and replied, "No, go and take him back to the ship." The latter sentence was said to the subordinate behind him.
His subordinates responded, grabbed the injured subordinate who was already pale, and dragged him away almost roughly.
Everyone's expression suddenly became uglier. Zuo Yang's attitude of not treating his subordinates as human beings was really too bad.
Lian Jun no longer looked at Zuo Yang, and said to Zhang Zhuoyuan: "Director Zhang, the meeting is about to begin."
Zhang Zhuoyuan responded and began to greet the leaders of the organization who were still outside to enter the meeting room. Lian Jun was also pushed by Gua Yi and turned to go to the meeting room.
After this episode, the atmosphere on the deck became a little dull. Everyone stopped talking to each other and kept a distance from the people of Jiuying intentionally or unintentionally.
Shi Jin didn't dare to be distracted by the scenery this time. His eyes were always fixed on Lian Jun in the conference room, worried that Zuo Yang across from him would do something strange again.
The atmosphere of the afternoon meeting was obviously not as relaxed as the morning meeting. Zhang Zhuoyuan kept talking about something, holding a document in his hand, and seemed to be naming some organizations. All the organizations named had ugly expressions on their faces, and some even said a few words to Zhang Zhuoyuan.
The one who reacted most violently was Lu Shan. She even slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Zhang Zhuoyuan and started to curse. Zhang Zhuoyuan looked plain and slick, but his attitude was unexpectedly tough. No matter what Lu Shan said, he was as calm and serious as a mountain. In the end, it was Lu Shan who compromised. After a low curse, she sat back and kept silent with a sullen face.
As the atmosphere in the conference room became obviously tense, the emotions of the people on the deck became more and more tense. It was Shi Jin's first time here, so he was a little affected and his nerves were always tense.
After the meeting lasted about two hours, a tall figure suddenly blocked Shi Jin's view of the conference room. It was obviously intentional.
Shi Jin stretched out his hand to push the person away without hesitation, saying, "Don't block my view, thank you." After
pushing the person away, he realized belatedly that the person was Fei Yujing. He frowned and looked over, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Come here to talk." Fei Yujing replied, patting the sleeve that Shi Jin had just pulled.
Shi Jin noticed his action, rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and moved his gaze back to Lian Jun in the conference room, and said bluntly: "There is nothing to discuss between you and me. I will not deliberately instigate Jun Shao to ruin your employer's business, nor will I be soft-hearted and help you just because you play the role of a good brother. You want to withdraw from me and be strangers who don't bother each other. I also think this is good. I hope we can have some tacit understanding on this matter. Now I am 'Gua Si' and you are Lawyer Fei. We don't have any personal relationship. Understand?"
Fei Yujing leaned against the railing beside him and replied: "I don't understand. Shi Jin, you have changed too much."
Shi Jin ignored him.
He had said everything he wanted to say, and he didn't want to waste time talking to Fei Yujing.
Because of the position, Fei Yujing was facing Shi Jin's profile. He listened to Shi Jin's words, looked at the curve of his profile, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Shi Jin, I don't like your current attitude." Shi
Jin was a little angry at what he said, and looked at him sideways, and asked coldly, "When you played the role of a good brother in front of me for the sake of profit, did you ask me if I liked you using me like this? Fei Yujing, don't be so hypocritical, I don't like it."
Fei Yujing looked at him, and was very calm about his accusation, and said, "Hypocrisy is the nature of people like me, Shi Jin, I don't like you now, you have become smart and hard to deceive."
"Tsk." Shi Jin really disliked Fei Yujing, a sober "bad guy". If you blame him, even if he is right, he will not get angry or refute. Instead, he can accept all the accusations without any pressure and will not be affected at all. If you reason with him, he will not listen. He has his own set of rules in his heart and will not be easily shaken. If you play the emotional card, I'm sorry, he has no feelings, and congratulates you, you just fell into his trap.
Fei Yujing seemed to be unable to see the disgust on Shi Jin's face, and continued: "Shi Jin, you are very good at finding a backer. In the past, it was Shi Xingrui, and now it is Lian Jun. I may not know you as well as I thought."
"No need to maybe, you just don't understand me." Shi Jin turned to look at him, took out the gun he always carried with him, pointed it at his heart, and said coldly, "Either leave immediately and don't bother me anymore, or I will shoot you right now to help you completely stop wanting to use me. Fei Yujing, I hate being used by others, and I hate it even more when others use the mask of family affection to deceive me. Don't waste your breath on me anymore, I'm not very patient now." Fei
Yujing Fei Jing said without changing his expression, "You won't shoot."
Shi Jin was also very calm and said, "In order not to cause trouble for my boss, I will of course try not to shoot, but if you continue to bother me, I may not be able to shoot today, but your mother may not be without bullets."
Fei Jing's expression finally changed, and he reached out and held Shi Jin's hand holding the gun, and said in a deep voice, "Shi Jin, you dare."
"Just come and see if I dare you, Fei Yujing. I warn you, as long as you still have a soft spot, don't take it for granted that you will hurt others, otherwise those injuries will sooner or later come back to the people you care about." Shi Jin hit Fei Yujing's chest with the muzzle of the gun, then shook his hand away, sneered, and turned away from him.
Gua Jiu, who had been watching, also stepped aside at the right time and stood between Shi Jin and Fei Yujing.
Fei Yujing's eyes were heavy, he touched his chest that was hit, looked at Shi Jin who was half blocked by Gua Jiu, and finally turned around and left.
In the conference room, Lian Jun withdrew his gaze from the outside and turned his attention back to the information in front of him.
Zuo Yang, who was standing opposite him, saw his movements and asked the same question that Lu Shan had asked yesterday, but his tone was much more vicious: "Lian Jun, who is your new subordinate over there?"
At this time, everyone in the conference room was checking a new document issued by Zhang Zhuoyuan, and no one was talking. He suddenly spoke, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people looked out the window where Zuo Yang pointed.
Lian Jun put down the document without a change of expression, looked at Zuo Yang, and asked instead: "Zuo Yang, I haven't settled the account with you for letting the Tianma leader steal someone from me last year, and you are targeting another of my subordinates. What, do you have no one available in Jiuying?"
