Outside the “Starlight” private room, Chen MO hesitated for a moment, seemingly unsure about something.
But soon, he gathered his thoughts and pushed open the door of the room.
“Brother Cheng, you called for me?” Chen MO looked at Zhang Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa, and quickly walked over to him.
“First of all, I need to apologize to you,” Zhang Cheng stood up and earnestly said to Chen MO, “I haven’t managed my subordinates strictly, causing trouble for you. This is my fault.”
“Brother Cheng, don’t say that,” Chen MO knew what Zhang Cheng was referring to, but that wasn’t his main concern right now. “I want to know…”
“I know what you’re going to ask,” Zhang Cheng interrupted Chen MO again.
“I had someone check. Indeed, they previously took a couple to a place using my car.”
“But later, they moved the people somewhere else.”
“I sent someone to check, but they’re not there anymore. As for where they were moved to, they’re not sure.”
Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Chen Mo’s face darkened.
“Can’t find them anymore?” Chen MO asked for confirmation.
“As it involves my people, I will naturally continue to have it investigated,” Zhang Cheng noticed Chen MO’s grim expression. “But… it might be difficult.”
“Is it the Jiang family?” Chen MO voiced his suspicion.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Cheng nodded in affirmation.
He knew Chen MO must have already found out some information.
“The current situation of the Jiang family seems to be rather dire, but why they targeted that couple, I haven’t found out,” said Zhang Cheng helplessly.
“I’ve heard a bit about the Jiang family. Moreover, Jiang Lu from that family is deliberately getting close to me and Xia Wan,” Chen MO shared the information he had found.
He trusted Zhang Cheng and didn’t intend to hide anything.
“Brother Cheng, do you know about the case that the county is currently investigating?” Chen MO asked, slightly restraining his expression.
Zhang Cheng was also taken aback, pausing before responding, “I’ve heard a little about it.
“This case involves a wide range, and a lot of information needs to be checked, so some other forces have been utilized.
“I happen to have some connections involved, so I understand a bit about it.”
“Are you saying that this case is also related to the Jiang family?” Zhang Cheng suddenly realized what Chen MO was implying.
“Although the police can’t catch some of the people involved now, and there are still a few leaders at large, there are some inconsistencies that need to be further investigated,” Chen MO continued, “And the timing of Jiang Lu’s appearance is very strange.
“Especially his knowledge about the case, which is more than both me and Xia Wan know.
“Even, he knows the whereabouts of some people involved in the case.
“I believe that even if the Jiang family is not involved in this case, Jiang Lu is somewhat implicated.”
Hearing Chen Mo’s analysis, Zhang Cheng didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Jiang Lu had hosted a banquet in the county town to entertain the old leaders, although it was through Xu Jia’s siblings’ connection. If this event also implicated the old leaders in such an incident, it could be problematic…
Thinking this, Zhang Cheng’s face gradually darkened. “I can’t do too much publicly. If you need to investigate anything, just tell me!”
“Thank you, Brother Cheng!” Chen MO sincerely thanked him, “Regarding the whereabouts of Xia Wan’s parents, please pay more attention.”
“As for Jiang Lu, if Brother Cheng finds it inconvenient, I will handle it myself.”
“Okay!” Zhang Cheng agreed, already starting to think about how to inform the old leaders about this matter.
After Chen MO left, Zhang Cheng called Zhang Feng. “If Jiang Lu contacts you again, do as he says.”
Zhang Feng, though puzzled, obediently agreed.
Zhang Cheng went to Liang Tao’s room and knocked lightly on the door.
Liang Tao’s voice came from inside. “Is that Zhang Cheng? Come in! ”
Zhang Cheng turned the doorknob and entered, closing the door behind him.
Liang Tao was sitting under the light, looking at a few pages of documents. Without lifting his head, he said, “What’s the matter? Speak!”
Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment before speaking up. “Leader, that young
Jiang Lu has caused some trouble and got my people involved too.”
“How could you be so careless?” Liang Tao looked up at Zhang Cheng with a displeased expression.
Zhang Cheng lowered his head, full of apologies: “It’s my lack of supervision. I’ve already sent someone to follow up on this matter. It won’t affect you, leader…”
“You’re foolish!” Liang Tao’s expression turned even uglier.
“You’re someone I personally brought up. In many people’s eyes, what you do represents me!
“Do you think your mistake won’t affect me?”
