During this period, a number of outstanding and righteous police officers, such as An Xin, had no chance to get ahead. In fact, they were suppressed. The Public Security Bureau and the police station accepted bribes and became protectors of organized crime.
Even Li Xiang had to humbly hide in this quagmire in order to secretly gather evidence and get things done.
No wonder the new leadership group was able to have Guo Ming, a director, stand guard for him tonight.
The next morning, Tang Ping met Gao Qiqiang at Bai Jinhan.
Upon meeting, Gao Qiqiang said with a smile, "Aping, Uncle Tai told me on the phone that we brothers can join forces again this time, that's great. Come, come, sit down. Xiao Sheng, go make some tea!"
There was no one else in the office except Gao Qisheng and Tang Xiaohu.
"Have you figured out how to do it?" Tang Ping sat down and asked directly.
Tang Xiaohu interjected, "Of course, we should capture the leader first. Damn it, this Ma Shuai has been acting like a madman lately, raiding several of my territories. I'm leading my brothers around putting out fires, and we can't even bring our weapons, or we'll get arrested by the police if we're not careful."
“There’s nothing we can do about it. The new CEO group has powerful backers, which is where we’re at a disadvantage. I think it’s okay to target Ma Shuai first, but we need to find a comprehensive approach,” Gao Qiqiang said thoughtfully.
Tang Ping shook his head and said, "Dealing with Ma Shuai won't work. He's too cautious and has many bodyguards. Besides, I don't think he'll go out alone during crucial times. In my opinion, we should deal with the two people around him first: Li Chengyang and Da Jiang."
"Why?"
Tang Xiaohu and Gao Qiqiang were both puzzled.
Tang Ping analyzed, "Li Chengyang is Marshal Ma's confidant and strategist; many plans are devised by him. Dajiang is Marshal Ma's right-hand man. Dealing with these two will serve two purposes: first, to intimidate Marshal Ma and make him behave himself, preventing him from fighting too hard as a pawn; second, to clip his wings, making it much easier for us to deal with him again."
Gao Qisheng, carrying a teapot, poured tea and said, "Without his right-hand men, even if Commander Ma is incredibly powerful, he can't act with impunity. I think Brother Ping's method is reliable. However, before we take action, we must thoroughly investigate their patterns of movement, routes, residences, and accompanying personnel. When we make our move, we must arrange for vehicles to provide backup and ensure everything goes smoothly. Because we may only have one chance to act; afterwards, they will definitely be on guard."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaohu and Gao Qiqiang both nodded.
Tang Ping glanced at Gao Qisheng and smiled, "Little Sheng is very experienced."
When Gao Qisheng isn't acting crazy, his IQ is always online. But when he gets really ruthless, he's the kind of person who would set fire to his own mobile phone shop, and the key thing is that the police still can't find out who did it.
"That's just a little suggestion I saw in a book," Gao Qisheng said with a smile, adjusting his glasses.
Tang Ping nodded and said, "Yes, I think Xiao Sheng makes a lot of sense. Let's split up. Xiao Hu, you two are responsible for arranging people to keep an eye on Li Chengyang and Da Jiang's whereabouts these two days, and figure out their daily routines. Be smart and don't get discovered. I'll be responsible for finding people to carry out the operation. Xiao Sheng, you help find two vans, the kind that are abandoned and the police can't find."
Okay, I understand.
Although it was called a discussion, Tang Ping was basically making the arrangements, and Gao Qiqiang and the others had no objections to it.
After leaving Bai Jinhan, Gao Qiqiang saw him to the door and said, "Aping, after the bidding for the coastal highway project is over, I want to break away from Uncle Tai and start my own business."
"Have you thought it through?" Tang Ping wasn't surprised, he simply asked.
Gao Qiqiang said, "Well, it's good to take shelter under a big tree, but you're always working for someone else. Look at this time, Uncle Tai arranged for me. Usually, I'm sidelined when it comes to important matters in the construction group, and I only get the dirty and hard work. Hehe, I don't think there's any future in following someone like that."
"If you've thought it through, that's fine. I support you on that point."
Tang Ping smiled, then turned and left.
Back at Wan Zi Qian Hong, entertainment venues have been closed for the past few days. Firstly, Sister Xia is still in Ma Shuai's hands, and secondly, Hu Xiandong is still recovering in the hospital.
Hu Xiandong's top fighter jet was still a bit lacking and couldn't control the situation, so Tang Ping simply shut down all the venues and suspended operations.
In the lobby, Feiji immediately came over and said, "Boss, there's a girl looking for Sister Xia, but she's not here. How about we bring her here?"
Tang Ping asked, "What is it?"
"She said she wanted money, 500,000, and I couldn't make that decision."
"Okay, then bring her to the office to talk. Also, don't call me boss, call me Boss. I'm not a gangster."
Tang Ping said, offering a reminder.
The plane immediately saluted and said with an awkward smile, "Understood, boss!"
Hu Xiandong and Sister Xia are not here, and the entertainment venue is in a mess. It's almost the end of the month, and many technicians and employees haven't had their wages sorted out.
Tang Ping took out his ballpoint pen and began to calculate the wages one by one. Regardless of whether the business was open or not, the wages still had to be paid, otherwise morale would collapse.
When people go out to work, they're all in it to make money.
Tang Ping had just sat down to organize the reports when someone knocked on his door.
"Enter!"
Tang Ping said without looking up.
A moment later, a thin girl in a school uniform walked in.
She is quite pretty, with a pure and innocent look in her eyes.
The girl seemed a little scared, standing there, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.
Tang Ping asked, "What's your name? Oh, please sit down, don't be so formal."
The girl whispered, "Li Tiantian."
Seeing that the girl didn't move, Tang Ping couldn't help but smile inwardly. He quickly got up, poured her a glass of water, and said, "Have some water first. Don't be afraid. I heard from Feiji that you need 500,000? What do you need it for?"
The girl bit her lip and said, "My mom was hit by a car and is in the hospital. I need money to save her life..."
"Who introduced you?" Tang Ping asked casually.
“There was a senior from our school who was involved in the entertainment industry. She said that among the entertainment venues in Jinghai, only the boss of Wan Zi Qian Hong treated his employees the best.”
"So, you're planning to sell yourself for 500,000?" Tang Ping asked as he returned to his seat.
The girl kept her head down and didn't say anything.
Tang Ping twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Going into business to make money will ruin your life, you know? I don't recommend you do that. Go back to school and study hard, get a degree, and find a good job. How about this, the 500,000 yuan is my advance payment, but you have to sign a contract with me that you must get into a good university and then work for me after graduation, how about that?"
The girl looked up in surprise, staring at Tang Ping in disbelief, and asked, "Is this alright?"
