A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole!
Although Cheng Muyun had doubts, he still couldn't believe it. "What evidence do you have to prove that the Liang family has been involved with opium?"
Chen Hede spread his hands, "There is no evidence, only speculation."
Cheng Muyun immediately stood up. "Deputy Director Chen should know why the Cheng family and the Liang family are on good terms, so without evidence, I will not touch Liang Shaozun."
The Cheng family's friendship with the Liang family was not only to consolidate their position, but also to ensure the survival of their troops.
In chaotic times, everyone is poor, but those soldiers who are willing to follow Commander Cheng just to have enough to eat should not be let down. Therefore, Cheng Muyun will not touch Liang Shaozun unless absolutely necessary.
Cheng Muyun walked towards the side hall, and Chen Hede stood up. "What if I said I have evidence to prove that the opium case a year ago was related to the Liang family?"
The man's face was half-hidden in the darkness, but one eye gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
"Chen Hede, you had better take responsibility for what you said."
These words were like a gust of wind blowing from the frigid Arctic, carrying shards of ice that pierced straight into Chen Hede's heart.
"That's natural."
Cheng Muyun clenched his fists, as if he had made a great decision, and slowly turned around, his bloodthirsty eyes meeting Chen Hede's serious face.
Chen Hede clasped his hands together and bowed deeply. "Young Marshal Cheng, I also hate opium and am determined to restore peace and tranquility to China. I have come to see you today with the utmost sincerity."
Cheng Muyun crossed his arms and said, "What is your sincerity? Show it to me."
"The person who set the fire a year ago was Liang Shaozun. Because the explosion happened so fast, he was left with a back injury. Young Marshal Cheng can tell the extent of the wound caused by the Songyou Factory explosion at a glance."
Back then, Cheng Muchuan received a tip that the transaction would take place at the Songyou Factory, but as soon as he entered, it exploded, and his body was never found.
In the past year, this has been the only explosion caused by pine resin.
Cheng Muyun turned his head, his expression hidden in the dim light, and said, "I'll talk about it after I've verified it."
Chen Hede bowed again, "I will be waiting for Young Marshal Cheng at the police station."
Cheng Muyun did not respond and walked towards the side hall. His steps were heavy, as if he were carrying countless things on his shoulders, or as if someone was holding his legs back, making him walk very slowly.
One step, one pause; one step, one stop; one step, one hesitation.
Pushing open the door to the side hall, one finds it empty.
"Xu Zhuohua!"
Cheng Muyun called out, but no one responded.
The two searched the entire house but couldn't find Xu Zhuohua.
A living, breathing person simply vanished right under the noses of the young marshal and the deputy police chief.
Cheng Muyun rushed out to find someone, while Chen Hede went to find the security guards at the Paramount Ballroom.
Luo Yunqiao bumped into Cheng Muyun's arms. Cheng Muyun pushed him away and looked around. Liang Shaozun, who had been next to Luo Yunqiao, was nowhere to be seen.
This made Cheng Muyun even more nervous.
Did Liang Shaozun find out something?
"Where is Shaozun?" Cheng Muyun asked.
"I don't know. Mr. Huo from the Paramount came looking for him, and he went with Mr. Huo."
Cheng Muyun's alarm blared.
The Paramount Ballroom was one of the places where opium was sold, and it was impossible for Boss Huo not to know this. He was very likely a beneficiary, which means that the two of them must have some unspeakable secret.
Did Liang Shaozun sense danger? Is that why he kidnapped Xu Zhuohua?
