Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1274 The water is too deep

Xu Chunliang asked: "Which aspects specifically?"

"Zhao Feiyang originally brought in Jishi Medical to negotiate the acquisition of Changxing Hospital from Huanian Group. You should know the inside story of that matter."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "Jisi Medical was introduced by Qiao Rulong. The reason why they decided to acquire Changxing Hospital should be said to be Qiao Rulong repaying Zhao Feiyang's debt of favor."

Lu Qi said: "Zhao Feiyang once saved Qiao Rulong's life."

Xu Chunliang didn't think so. He thought it was Shu Yuanhang who saved Qiao Rulong's life, and Zhao Feiyang only provided Qiao Rulong with his wife Pei Lin's heart.

Lu Qi said: "If Jishi Medical had not been transferred to Equator Capital, would Zhao Feiyang have much more power than he does now?"

Xu Chunliang said: "That's for sure. You don't doubt Zhao Feiyang, do you? I don't think there is any old grudge between him and Wang Jiancheng."

Lu Qi said: "This case really troubled me. The surveillance cameras near Huajian Japanese Restaurant were destroyed. The mastermind of this premeditated murder must know Wang Jiancheng very well and know his itinerary very well."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don't worry. I think the higher-ups will send someone to take over the case soon."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, your level is not high enough."

Seeing Lu Qi's face change, Xu Chunliang said again: "I don't mean to look down on your ability. I think this case is very complicated. You should remember the car accident that Qiao Rulong had, right?"

Lu Qi nodded: "Of course I remember, wasn't that an accident?"

Xu Chunliang said, "The Qiao family, the Ye family, and the Wang family have a very good relationship. In the past two years, all three of them have had some problems. First, Qiao Rulong almost died in a car accident, then the Ye family, my godfather Ye Changyuan encountered a plane crash, and now it's Wang Jiancheng's turn. If Zhai Pingqing hadn't rushed to the scene to rescue him in the first time, I'm afraid he would have died too. Do you dare to say that everything is a coincidence?"

Lu Qi pursed his lips. What Xu Chunliang said was right. Looking at one single incident, it might be a coincidence. However, three accidents happened in succession during this period of time, which could not be explained by coincidence. Could it be that bad luck really befell these three families?

Xu Chunliang said: "As far as this case is concerned, not many people dare to touch Wang Jiancheng. Zhai Pingqing is not qualified. The reason why he acted bravely is that he was afraid that the Wang family would hold him accountable later."

"You mean to say that the person who planned this murder is more powerful than Zhai Pingqing?"

Xu Chunliang didn't say anything, but his expression already gave a positive answer.

Lu Qi took a breath of cold air. Xu Chunliang was right. If this was true, this case was unfathomable. His rank was indeed not high enough. He knew that there were many difficulties, but as a police officer, Lu Qi was still unwilling to give up. He whispered, "Can you give me another hint?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I have told you everything I know."

At this time, Qi Mingxue, director of the Chamber of Commerce's office, came to find Xu Chunliang. When he saw someone in the office, he was stunned for a moment and said he would come back later.

Lu Qi had just finished asking questions. He was now under time pressure and had a heavy workload, and he still had to investigate the case.

After Lu Qi left, Qi Mingxue closed the door and said, "Director Xu, there is news from Lexing. They agree to send representatives to negotiate. Secretary Lin asked you to set a specific time."

Xu Chunliang laughed: "They want to talk, so they can talk? They don't want to talk?"

Qi Mingxue smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to talk than not to talk. The pressure from above is strong, so this matter must be resolved."

Xu Chunliang said: "No hurry."

Qi Mingxue said: "If the Korean side really decides to withdraw its investment, it will be troublesome. Secretary Wang will definitely hold them accountable."

Xu Chunliang said: "Just withdraw, but don't threaten us with withdrawal of investment. Secretary Wang doesn't have the energy to deal with these things recently."

Qi Mingxue was completely speechless and whispered, "How should I reply to Secretary Lin?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Tell the truth, whoever of you is willing to talk to the Korean side can go ahead and talk. Anyway, I won't participate. Secretary Wang asked me to come here to attract investment, not to seek peace."

Qi Mingxue relayed Xu Chunliang's words verbatim to Secretary Lin Yaoming.

In fact, Qi Mingxue didn't want to pass messages between the two sides. In his opinion, Lin Yaoming should talk directly to Xu Chunliang.

Ever since Xu Chunliang came to the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yaoming has adopted the attitude of having as little contact with him as possible. Xu Chunliang was sent by Secretary Wang, and this man had a bad reputation. It was said that not long after he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the top two leaders of the Civil Affairs Bureau were successively removed from office, and this did not include other cadres who were implicated.

If he could refuse, Lin Yaoming would definitely turn this guy away, but since Secretary Wang sent him, he had no choice but to accept him.

After listening to Qi Mingxue's words, Lin Yaoming was silent for a long time: "Did he really say that?"

Qi Mingxue said: "How about I call him over and you ask him directly."

Lin Yaoming waved his hands distractedly: "That's not necessary." He opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit it with a frown.

Qi Mingxue clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly oppressive, and he said cautiously, "Secretary Lin, if there is nothing else, I will leave first?"

"are you busy?"

Qi Mingxue smiled and said, "I'm just worried about delaying your work."

Lin Yaoming took a puff of his cigarette and said, "When the superiors arranged for him to come here, they specifically stated that he was to participate in the negotiations with Lexing Group. Why did he refuse to accept it? Recruiting investors? Whose investors? The fat meat that was in his mouth is about to fly away. Are all young people nowadays as ambitious as him?" Qi Mingxue said, "Secretary Lin, maybe he is sure of it?"

"How sure are you? Lexing Group invested 15 billion US dollars. How much is that in RMB? If they leave, where can we find such a large enterprise to invest?"

Qi Mingxue said, "Secretary Lin, I should say something that I shouldn't have said. We were not the ones who brought in Lexing Group in the first place. Now that they want to leave, why should we be held responsible?"

Lin Yaoming was even more aggrieved than him: "You ask me? Who should I ask? Our Business Committee is just a name, how can we have so much power? I won't say anything more. You tell Xu Chunliang that he must participate in the negotiations."

Qi Mingyue had a sad face. Why did you have to go and pass the message yourself? The phone was on your desk. Can't you tell him yourself?

There was a lot of unrest outside and Zhai Pingqing felt deeply uneasy. He had an unprecedented sense of crisis. The most urgent task was to transfer the Dongzhou project. He took the initiative to contact Xiahou Mulan, who told him that she would arrive in Dongzhou tomorrow and the two sides could meet. Zhai Pingqing was asked to wait for notification on the specific time and place.

Zhai Pingqing judged from Xiahou Mulan's calm tone that she had completely taken the initiative, and was prepared for the possibility that she would further lower the price tomorrow. Zhai Pingqing had to lower his expectations again.

When Xu Chunliang drove past the bridge, he found that workers were repairing it there and traffic had basically returned to normal. He imagined the scene of Wang Jiancheng getting into a car accident in his mind.

In Xu Chunliang's opinion, Wang Jiancheng's car accident was very similar to Qiao Rulong's. Although the latter was finally determined to be an accident, both accidents were extremely serious and almost killed the two people, coupled with Ye Changyuan's accident not long ago.

People from the Qiao, Ye and Wang families all suffered misfortunes, which cannot be explained by coincidence. The most likely possibility is that the mastermind behind the scenes is the common enemy of the three families.

Before Xu Chunliang parked his car, Xu Ying came out to pick him up.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Sister Xu, it's cold outside, just wait inside."

Xu Ying said: "Your coming here today is a timely help, and it is only right for me to go out and greet you."

Xu Chunliang said: "You are too kind. It's just a meal. How can it be called timely help?"

Xu Ying invited him into the store. There were not many customers in the store. She had always relied on appointments, but because of Wang Jiancheng's incident, all appointments for the past few days were cancelled.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Which room was Wang Jiancheng in that day?"

Xu Ying pointed and said that she didn't arrange a place for Xu Chunliang today, mainly because she was worried that he would have some concerns.

Xu Chunliang said: "I will go to that room."

Xu Ying was a little puzzled and said, "There are other rooms as well."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I don't have so many taboos."

Xu Ying knew his temper, so she could only follow his will and asked the waiter to change the room in time.

Xu Chunliang did not go in immediately. It was still early and he did not expect Huang Youlong to come in time. He took this opportunity to ask Xu Ying about her situation over the past two days.

Xu Ying told him that she was called in for questioning by the police, and even Zhao Feiyang was investigated. This incident made Xu Ying feel depressed, and she even thought about closing the store. But then she thought, the more this happened, the more she couldn't do it, otherwise people would think she had something to hide.

Huang Youlong arrived on time. Seeing Xu Chunliang standing at the bar chatting with Xu Ying, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't interrupt your conversation, did I?"

Xu Chunliang said: "No, Mr. Huang, please come in."

The two of them came to the room and sat down. Huang Youlong looked around the interior decoration and said, "This Japanese restaurant has a good location and elegant decoration."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Mr. Huang likes it?"

Huang Youlong nodded.

Xu Chunliang said: "We had dinner in this room the night Wang Jiancheng got into trouble."

Huang Youlong laughed. He was not surprised. It was he who specified to have dinner here. He guessed at that time that Xu Chunliang would most likely choose this room.

"Although I haven't had much contact with Mr. Wang, I still admire his taste."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved."

Huang Youlong handed Xu Chunliang a square brocade box.

Xu Chunliang thought he had brought him a gift and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang is too polite."

Huang Youlong said: "Open it and take a look."

Xu Chunliang opened the brocade box and found a copy of "Su Wen" inside, a thread-bound edition that was quite old.

Huang Youlong said, "Return the item to its original owner. This book can be said to be my enlightenment book. I borrowed it from the Xu family to read in the past, but due to some strange circumstances, I have never been able to return it. I wanted to hand it over to Mr. Xu in person, but I didn't expect that he is now separated from me by the Yin and Yang. However, it is the same if I return it to the descendants of the Xu family."

Xu Chunliang nodded and thought to himself, if it is confirmed that you are related to my grandfather's death, I will bury you with this book.
