When Wu Zhanqi got the news from his subordinates, he almost instantly thought of Qingdai.
Apart from anything else, the kid from the Chu family actually has some wolfish nature hidden behind his gentle mask.
If he noticed the problem and interfered, there was no telling what might go wrong.
So Wu Zhanqi could only try his best to suppress the matter without making any noise.
It was not until late at night that Chu Luwei was asked to return to his room. In name, it was "invited", but in fact, two rows of officers forcefully sent him back.
In fact, he could sit still longer than Wu Zhanqi expected, and he had been playing Tai Chi with him the whole afternoon. Wu Zhanqi was evasive in his words, just saying that there was a traitor in the hotel, and vaguely said that the traitor would definitely find the real culprit.
Of course, Chu Luwei didn't believe a single word he said.
He could also clearly feel that Wu Zhanqi was trying to hide something.
Originally, Chu Luwei just wanted to capture that woman because he was provoked repeatedly.
But now he felt more and more that... the identity of the escaped woman was not ordinary.
Wu Zhanqi tried to hide the truth, and Chu Luwei had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend to know nothing.
The purpose of this trip has not yet been achieved, so it is not advisable to break up with Wu Zhanqi too early.
…
But Chu Luwei certainly wouldn't just stay in the Ping An Hotel obediently.
late at night.
A man dressed in a neat military uniform walked out of the Ping An Hotel and quickly got into a black car.
The drivers sitting in the front row were paying attention to the road conditions all the way. They had to be vigilant at all times to see if they were being followed. After turning several corners to shake off the tailgater behind them, the drivers subconsciously looked up and looked at the governor behind them through the rearview mirror.
He was a little different at this moment than he was during the day, with a cigarette between his fingertips. Even though the car had gone through several high-speed races and turns, his clothes were still not messed up at all. His black eyes stared at the front, and his emotions were hard to read.
Arrived at the destination.
A group of people walked in the dark and finally entered the place where they would rest for the night.
A man came out of the house. His name was Qi Jiang, Chu Luwei's deputy.
Of course, Chu Luwei couldn't have come to the southern territory alone. During the day, Qi Jiang was just sent by him to do other tasks.
"How's the investigation going?"
Chu Luwei walked in while unbuttoning his military uniform. He waved his hand, and the large group of people following him dispersed in an instant.
Qi Jiang consciously followed behind him to report.
"Commander-in-Chief, we've already found out. The Tang family is the foremost medical family in Jiangnan. The Tang family has been Wu Zhanqi's mainstay for many years, so I'm afraid they won't easily cooperate with us."
Knowing that hope was about to be shattered, Chu Luwei did not frown, as if he had already expected such an outcome.
"Besides the Tang family, are there any other families?"
Qi Jiang shook his head.
"The Tang family has been practicing medicine for generations and has a deep family heritage. The other families have shallower foundations than us, and are not even as good as the medical families in the north."
Chu Luwei sat down on the chair. Qi Jiang took a look at his empty expression and immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and handed it to him.
It’s not that the governor loves tobacco so much, but the people who serve him know that this is his usual action when he is thinking.
It was also at this time that Chu Luwei showed a slightly different side of himself.
The military jacket was slightly torn open, and two buttons on the shirt inside revealed the white collarbone, which felt like warm jade under the light.
A cigarette was lit, and wisps of white smoke rose. The man's black eyes were narrowed by the smoke. He didn't smoke it, but just lit it and held it between his fingers.
It's hard to imagine that a handsome man would do such a thing.
At this moment, the man seemed to have shed his elegant and gentle appearance, gradually revealing his inherent ruffian nature.
How could a warlord truly be elegant and refined? It was just that the governor was more reserved and reserved than the average soldier.
"What's going on with the Tang family?"
"The current head of the Tang family, Tang Yizhong, has only one biological daughter, whom he cherishes as the apple of his eye. She's currently being arranged to marry Wu Zhanqi, and she's his nominal fiancée. She'll likely become his legal wife soon, so Tang Jia and Wu Zhanqi's relationship is getting even closer... But something seems to have gone wrong recently..."
Chu Yuwei glanced at him and knew that what followed was the main point that Qi Jiang was going to talk about.
"If you have any questions, please tell me directly."
"Originally, Wu Zhanqi's fiancée was extremely doted on, and the Tang family, unable to stand up, devoted all their efforts to her. However, in recent years, Wu Zhanqi's behavior has become increasingly absurd, causing a rift between him and his fiancée. I think this could be considered a breakthrough..."
Chu Luwei listened and suddenly said:
"Today at the Ping An Hotel, Wu Zhanqi clearly wanted to hide something. Go down and find out what it is, and trace it back to the traitor who attacked him at the Ping An Hotel."
"yes."
Chu Luwei relit the cigarette at his fingertips, took a puff and slowly blew out a small smoke ring. Even this somewhat ruffian action, when performed by him, had a certain indescribable elegance.
He waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
Qi Jiang watched from the side and suppressed the urge to sigh in his heart. The governor did not have this habit before, but in recent years, the Marshal's health has been deteriorating, and all the burdens of the north have been placed on the governor, causing him to gradually develop this little habit.
The Marshal's condition was getting worse. If there was no one in the north who could treat him, the governor would not have risked his life to come to the south in person.
Chu Luwei's sitting posture was somewhat casual and less serious, and he was not as nervous as Qi Jiang thought.
He didn't like to tense himself when thinking, and soon, what happened today was organized into several key points in his mind.
If it weren't for the urgent matters, he could even stay in the south for a while longer and make the muddy water as muddy as possible.
Seeing that his men were all facing a formidable enemy, he curled his lips and smiled faintly.
"Don't be so nervous. The old man has been a soldier for half his life. Even if the King of Hell wants to kill him, it won't be that easy."
If the old man in his family gets angry, he can easily knock down two people with one hand.
However, Qi Jiang's group, whose hands would not shake at all when holding their guns no matter how many enemies they faced on the battlefield, were frightened by the old man's physical condition.
"Can……"
"How to deal with the Tang family? I already have a plan."
Qi Jiang raised his head suddenly, "What the Governor means is..."
The man gave a faint smile, his deep black eyes faintly revealing a certain iron-blooded strength.
