Chapter 943: Can't afford to offend
Tang Jianye cursed viciously, but still booked a room for him.
Gao Zheng was the first to say to the hotel owner, "Just a double room will do."
Gao Zheng insisted on going into a room with Tang Jianye.
Then, amid Tang Jianye's cursing, he fell onto the bed.
He took a long breath.
Too tired.
Physically and mentally exhausted.
Tang Jianye sat on another bed, looking at the tall man lying straight there, his handsome face looking extremely embarrassed.
The blood stains at the corners of his mouth had not been wiped clean yet.
It seemed like he did it on purpose, deliberately letting him see his masterpiece to make him feel uncomfortable.
Humph, he didn't mean it at all. He wished he could give him two more punches to disfigure him.
Gao Zheng lay there gasping for breath, and Tang Jianye looked at him angrily, sulking.
He wanted to grab him and settle the score with him, but the old guy looked really pitiful, and he couldn't bear to quarrel with him.
It's so fucking shit between acquaintances.
If this was a stranger, he would have hired someone to deal with him long ago.
Gao Zheng lay down for a while, but was too hungry to lie still, so he stood up again.
When he turned his head, he saw Tang Jianye's eyes that seemed to want to kill someone, staring at him angrily.
Gao Zheng was really too hungry to care about much else.
He asked Tang Jianye for money, saying that he was going to buy food.
Tang Jianye, with a dark face, "..."
The sight of Gao Zheng in the past thirty years completely overturned his understanding of him.
Why is he like this?
Tang Jianye looked at his shameless hand and said coldly, "Gao Zheng, your previous sanctimonious appearance was all just an appearance, right?
You are a wolf in human skin!"
Gao Zheng sat beside the bed, looking serious. "I haven't slept for two days and two nights, and haven't eaten for a day and a night. Putting aside our future relationship, we are acquaintances after all. I lent you a few dollars. Do you have to escalate to the level of personal attack?"
Hearing his words, Tang Jianye's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, and he snorted coldly, "Why don't you starve to death!"
Gao Zheng's tone softened, "Don't be angry, wait until I'm full, then we can talk. Now that things have happened, we have to solve them. Besides, don't you want to know why Jingyue was injured?
Don't you want to know why we went to your factory on a mission?"
Gao Zheng's words instantly aroused Tang Jianye's interest.
Of course he wanted to know.
That day, he was so angry that he kept scolding Gao Zheng and forgot to ask about the real business.
Tang Jianye glanced at his hand that was stretched out for money and sneered, "Are you so poor?"
“Who gets paid for coming out to carry out the mission?
These clothes belong to the comrades from the Linjiang Narcotics Control Bureau. This is all I have on me.”
Gao Zheng lifted his shirt, revealing the pistol case at his waist.
Tang Jianye looked at the thing tied around his waist and was horrified, "..."
Can't afford to offend.
Not only did he give up the idea of beating Gao Zheng again, he also obediently took out five dollars and gave it to him.
Gao Zheng went out of the hotel and bought two packs of bread and two bottles of soda.
Afraid that Tang Jianye would lock the door, he quickly came in carrying his things.
Tang Jianye's fat body sat on the cramped little bed, occupying half of it. He looked at what Gao Zheng was holding and couldn't help asking, "Is this what you're going to eat?"
"Um."
Gao Zheng sat on the other side of the bed, took out a bag of bread that cost one dollar, tore it open, and took a bite.
Take off most of it in one bite.
Tang Jianye was watching from the side with a complicated expression.
He ate too fast and choked a little, burping. He unscrewed the open of a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda that cost five cents a bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
He put down the bottle and suddenly glanced to the side, seeing Tang Jianye's expression of having seen a ghost, he said casually, "It's good to have something to eat when carrying out a mission, how can there be a hot meal to eat."
He glanced at Tang Jianye and said quietly, "Unlike you bosses, who prepare eight dishes for every meal."
Tang Jianye said in a bad tone, "Eat your bread quickly. After you finish, I want to talk to you."
Gao Zheng finished another bag of bread in a few bites, drank the last bottle of soda, took off Captain Liu's jacket, took off the blood-stained vest on his body and threw it aside, then lay down directly on the bed.
Tang Jianye felt complicated when he saw the shocking scars on his body.
I feel a little sorry for him.
Gao Zheng pulled the quilt over himself.
Tang Jianye didn't have time to settle other accounts at this moment, he asked anxiously, "Gao Zheng, can you please tell me what happened?
You guys are on a mission, where is Jingyue?
How could she be hurt?
How could our medicinal materials factory be involved in this?"
Gao Zheng put his arms behind his head, looked at him, and said, "The murderer who assassinated Jingyue is called Wang Xiaoliang. He is an employee of your medicinal material factory and also a drug dealer. You should know him."
"Wang Xiaoliang?"
Tang Jianye was stunned and thought for a few seconds, "The employees of the factory in Bincheng?"
Gao Zheng nodded, "Yes."
"I came here disguised as the boss to track the case. Jingyue was afraid that it would be too abrupt for me to come here alone, so she accompanied me into the factory under the pretext of accompanying me for an inspection, and then coordinated actions with comrades in Linjiang at night.
Wang Xiaoliang was very cunning. When we were taking action, he sensed something was going on and fled into the factory, where he was discovered by Jingyue, who broke his head and blinded his eyes. He then stabbed Jingyue with a knife.
Tang Jianye was terrified and dumbfounded when he heard this. He looked at Gao Zheng in horror, "There are drug dealers in our factory?"
"That's right. Wang Xiaoliang used the opportunity of following the car to transport drugs from Linjiang to Bincheng for a long time. The amount was huge."
Mentioning drugs and drug dealers, Tang Jianye cursed angrily, "These inhuman bastards!"
He looked at Gao Zheng and complained unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Gao Zheng said, "Work confidential."
Tang Jianye sneered, "Work secrets?
If you didn't tell me, how did Jingyue know about it?"
Gao Zheng explained, "When I first went to investigate Wang Xiaoliang as the boss, I went with Jingyue to prevent too many people from knowing and alerting the enemy. I asked her to cooperate. I didn't tell you that she doesn't talk much and can keep secrets."
Tang Jianye: "..." Do you think he talks too much?
He asked with a straight face, "Did you seduce my daughter during this process?"
Gao Zheng expressed his dissatisfaction, and shot his eagle eyes over, "Please be careful with your wording."
Tang Jianye was not afraid of him at all. "Don't try to be so mean to me. And be careful with your words. Then I ask you to pay attention to your image as an uncle. Are you aware of that?"
Gao Zheng looked at him and said righteously, "I have no blood relationship with your Tang family. To put it bluntly, our two families are just friends. Please don't get too involved in the drama and always treat me as your brother."
“What’s your attitude?
"You've been calling me brother since you could talk when you were little, and now you're suddenly treating me like this?"
Gao Zheng said calmly, "To be honest, I have wanted to call you uncle since I was a child."
Tang Jianye looked at him with a firm attitude, "Gao Zheng, no matter what you say, I still don't agree with you two dating."
Gao Zheng's expression was sharp, "Reason."
He added, "Don't use the so-called seniority to pressure me. I am not your brother at all. Give me other reasons that can make me stand firm."
