After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 349 Mysterious man, interrogated overnight

Under the guidance of the president, Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu began to secretly investigate those people involved with the mysterious spice.

The news spread like wildfire and soon caused an uproar throughout the northern Shaanxi terminal. People speculated on the truth behind the matter, and various discussions broke out one after another.

"Have you heard? Boss Tan personally took action to investigate the smuggling of spices."

"Isn't that right? If this is found out, I'm afraid our Northern Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce will have a major earthquake."

The conversations between passers-by A, B, B, and D spread like ripples, adding a bit of tension to this long-peaceful town.

Many of them were shocked and admired Tan Zhixu's move, while others were worried about innocent people who might be implicated.

A few days later, on an ordinary evening, Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing met in a teahouse.
The whispers of the people around them stopped instantly, and all eyes focused on these two big shots from the capital.

"Shopkeeper Tan, you have caused a hot potato this time."

Gu Huaijing raised his eyebrows, but his words were full of trust and support for Tan Zhixu.

"Master Gu, now that I have taken over, I am sure to unravel the mystery. You also know that this matter is of great importance. Once successful, it will not only clear up the trade routes, but also bring justice to the people." Tan Zhixu responded confidently.

The moment the two people's eyes met, everything was unspoken.

Deliberately bluffing to let everyone know their behavior was the strategy the two had agreed upon.

The pretense of a cooperative relationship is also to confuse people behind the scenes.

As long as the other party feels that there is a loophole in their relationship that can be exploited, someone will definitely target them in the future.

At this time, an ordinary tea guest in the teahouse looked at them and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This boss Tan is so courageous. He dares to face such a difficult matter. If he can really find out the truth, he will definitely become our leader in northern Shaanxi." A legend of a generation.”

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly solemn, a gloomy-looking businessman hurriedly walked into the teahouse, his eyes evasive and he seemed panicked.

He walked straight towards Tan Zhixu and lowered his voice: "Boss Tan, I know something that may be able to help you..."

Tan Zhixu had already headed towards the shop, but after hearing this man's words, she turned back.

The gloomy-looking businessman met Tan Zhixu's eyes. Although the people around them were talking to each other, their eyes drifted towards them from time to time.

The man whispered: "I have some clues about the big smugglers of spices, but I need you to agree to a condition."

Tan Zhixu remained calm, with a meaningful smile on his lips, "First tell me your conditions, and then show your trump card."

The man hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I want a sum of money that will allow me to travel far away."

Tan Zhixu nodded slightly, showing a thoughtful look, while Gu Huaijing sat aside, seemingly drinking tea, but in fact he was vigilantly observing the surroundings.

He winked at the secret guard beside him, and the secret guard quietly retreated to the back door of the teahouse, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

"Okay, as long as the information you provide is true and valuable, I can consider your request."

Tan Zhixu's answer was so convincing that the man completely believed her words.

When the man saw this, he showed a satisfied smile, and when he was about to reveal further details, several men in black suddenly rushed in from the back door and came straight towards them.

However, before they could get close, Gu Huaijing's secret guards took action quickly and subdued these people in an instant. Witnessing this incident, the originally extremely tense atmosphere suddenly solidified. People looked at each other in shock, and then burst into an uproar.

The man's face changed suddenly, and a trace of fear and panic flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that his identity had been exposed.

"You are really here to deceive me." Tan Zhixu's eyes were sharp and he exposed the other party's disguise mercilessly. "The person behind the scenes thought he could use you to divert attention. Unfortunately, he underestimated us."

The man gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Gu Huaijing stood up and patted Tan Zhixu on the shoulder, telling her to calm down and that everything was under his control.

"It seems that there is indeed a powerful force hidden behind this mysterious spice." Gu Huaijing turned to the tea guests and said loudly, "Everyone, please rest assured that no matter how much resistance there is, Boss Tan and I will make the truth known to the public. , and bring peace to the North Shaanxi Pier!"

The crowd burst into warm applause and cheers, and people looked at Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing with admiration.

The man who tried to kidnap left in embarrassment under the escort of secret guards, becoming an episode in today's story.

At night, the streets are deserted.

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu arrived in prison.

The man from before is here now.

The guards had already set him up, and Tan Zhixu walked around the man twice, "You haven't told me yet? How many benefits did the other party give you to make you sacrifice your life for him like this?"

Under the dim light of the prison, the man closed his eyes tightly and his body trembled with fear.

Gu Huaijing stood aside and asked in a deep voice: "Name the person behind the scenes, and maybe you can still have a way to survive."

"I...I can't say." The man's teeth chattered and his voice was almost inaudible.

Tan Zhixu smiled coldly and approached the man, "It seems that ordinary methods are useless to you, so don't blame us for being rude."

The guards took the hint and began to prepare the instruments of torture.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and only the cold sounds of the collision of torture instruments, as well as the man's suppressed breathing and heartbeat, could be heard.

Suddenly, a teahouse regular dressed as a passerby was taken into prison. He came specially to witness this scene.

He glanced at the man nervously, then looked at Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing, and couldn't help but whisper: "When did this northern Shaanxi dock become so dangerous that even businessmen can risk their lives?"

When Gu Huaijing heard this, he turned to look at the passerby and deliberately raised his voice: "If someone didn't have ulterior motives and colluded with smuggling, why would this happen?"

When the man heard these words, a trace of struggle and despair flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he widened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said to Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing: "It's the president of the Northern Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce! He colluded with foreign countries to smuggle spices for personal gain, and I'm just his pawn."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the prison, and even the passerby who was watching took a breath, unable to believe that the usually respected president would do such a thing.

However, just as everyone was shocked, the man suddenly started bleeding from the corners of his mouth, biting his tongue and committing suicide, ending the painful torture.

Gu Huaijing reacted quickly and shook his head regretfully: "Even if you die, you must protect the people behind you. You are really loyal. However, now that the clues have been revealed, we have a new direction."

Tan Zhixu's eyes were firm and he said to Gu Huaijing: "It seems that we need to find the truth from within the Northern Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce. We can no longer let innocent people be implicated."
