“By the sea, near the reef beach,” Li Fang said.
“Can’t you be more specific?” Jia Zizai asked.
“I can’t be more specific,” Li Fang said as he took a sip of tea. “You know he doesn’t trust me so much. He’s wary of me.”
“A man like the chairman is living too tiredly,” Jia Zizai said, blowing out a puff of cigarette smoke. “He has to be on guard against this and that all day. There is no one he trusts. Hey, do you think that when he sleeps with a woman, he has to be careful about whether the other party is an assassin? Killing him when she’s with him… He couldn’t even be happy then!”
“As far as I know, the chairman does not touch women,” Li Fang said.
Jia Zizai took another drag on his cigarette. “Tsk, tsk, he doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t perm his hair, doesn’t touch women… Hey, is he a eunuch?”
“Stop talking nonsense,” Li Fang said. “He has a beard.”
“That might be fake too,” Jia Zizai said.
“I think he must have a very trusted person,” Li Fang said.
“Who?” Jia Zizai asked.
“How would I know?” Li Fang replied. “I wish I did.”
“Any evidence?” Jia Zizai asked.
“No, intuition,” Li Fang said.
“Intuition? Isn’t that a woman’s patented trait?” Jia Zizai asked. He knew Hu Mei’s intuition was very accurate. He couldn’t quite get used to hearing it from a big man’s mouth. “Well, what is the chairman’s ability?”
“He’s a master of kung fu, a real master,” Li Fang said.
“I know that,” Jia Zizai said.
“He is almost able to be unscathed by weapons and has a strong resistance to poisons,” Li Fang said. “His ability to determine a person’s position from the wind is first-rate.”
“Anything else? Can you finish it in one breath?” Jia Zizai asked. He already knew everything that was just said.
“That’s all I know,” Li Fang said.
“You know less than I do! Have you been following him for so many years in vain?” Jia Zizai felt that Li Fang must have something left unsaid and was keeping something.
“I feel like he should be good at using cold weapons,” Li Fang said after a moment’s silence.
“Intuition again?” Jia Zizai asked.
“I’ve seen his left hand,” Li Fang said. “There were thick calluses on them, which is often caused by holding something, but not by holding a gun.”
“Left-handed?” Jia Zizai thought for a moment. “He’s left-handed, but I remember he used his right hand to sign documents.”
“That means you didn’t observe carefully,” Li Fang said. “He habitually curls up his left hand in the form of a fist, which indicates conscious concealment.”
“Even if weapons can’t harm him, a bomb will blow him right up,” Jia Zizai said. “The key is where the information he holds is hidden. If he dies, those things would be exposed. Wouldn’t we die as well?”
Once his blackmail materials fell into someone else’s hand, it was equivalent to having a hanging sword overhead all the time. It might fall at any time. This caused him to be unable to sleep and eat in peace.
“I’ve got some of the blackmail information,” Li Fang said.
“Do you have mine?” Jia Zizai asked.
“I don’t know,” Li Fang said.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” Jia Zizai asked.
“It’s a hard disk,” Li Fang said. “I’ve tried to find a computer expert to try to decipher it. Not only is there a password, but the person also told me that once I try to open the file inside, the hard disk would automatically clear the contents and send a message to someone.”
“Damn, what an old fox,” Jia Zizai said. “He asked you to keep the information, but you don’t know what’s in it.”
“Correct,” Li Fang said.
“Well, if something happens to him, what did he ask you to do?” Jia Zizai asked.
“He told me to give it to Tengwei,” Li Fang said.
“Tengwei? Impossible!” Jia Zizai shook his head. “He and the chairman are the last to deal with each other!”
“Not necessarily,” Li Fang said. “Things are not as they seem. You never know how many of these directors are collaborating or how many of them are one with the chairman.”
“Can anybody be one with him?” Jia Zizai asked.
“Aha, even Qin Hua has several good friends,” Li Fang said. “Let’s find them first and get rid of them one by one. Finally, only the chairman will be left. It would naturally make it easier for us.”
Since his son’s condition had shown signs of improvement, Li Fang had completely changed. He had a new yearning for life. For that reason, he would use all means.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you haven’t been so brutal for a long time!” Jia Zizai sighed
“Shall we start?” Li Fang asked.
“Let’s start,” Jia Zizai replied.
When the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was time for killing and setting fires. The next morning, the sky was cloudy. Rain soon began to fall.
…
A week quickly passed. Zeng Yichuan was now able to get out of bed on his own without relying on the crutches. The color on his face had returned to normal.
“Captain, I think we can leave,” he said.
“Alright, I’ll go and tell Dr. Wang,” Cheng Haidong replied.
They went to the clinic together to say goodbye to Wang Yao.
“Yes, you can leave.” Wang Yao laughed and gave them several more doses of the Primordial Spirit Soup. “Take this with you.”
“Thank you, Dr. Wang,” Zeng Yichuan said. “In the future, if you need anything, just let me know.”
“Sure.” Wang Yao smiled and nodded.
They invited Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan to have lunch at the restaurant in Xiacun. At the table, Cheng Haidong mentioned the medical fees again, which was lightly brushed away by Wang Yao. Since he said that no medical fees would be charged, he would not break his promise.
After eating, Cheng Haidong and Zeng Yichuan bid farewell with their packed bags. The car they were driving was moving along a narrow cement road.
Zeng Yichuan looked at the continuous hills on both sides. Their troops were stationed in the mountains.
“Captain, this place is quite good,” he said.
“Yes, it’s indeed quite good and so are the people,” Cheng Haidong said.
The treatment had saved the life of one of his comrades-in-arms, and the doctor hadn’t charged them anything. He was impressed by and admired Wang Yao’s medical skills and ethics.
“Does he have some connection with the Su family?” Zeng Yichuan asked.
“Su Zhixing calls him brother-in-law,” Chen Haidong said.
“Hey, why does that fellow get all the good things?” Zeng Yichuan laughed. Through these few days of contact, he had become quite fond of Dr. Wang. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a sister.”
“The one from the Su family was also cured by him,” Chen Haidong said.
“Well, expressing gratitude by giving herself, right?” Zeng Yichuan asked. “I met her a while ago. She’s like a fairy, but it matches Dr. Wang well.”
…
On a reef beach in Dao…
“When are you going to show up?” a man asked. “Some of the work in the company is seriously lagging behind now. Some customers are very dissatisfied.”
“Wait a while more,” the man in a baseball cap said. His face was a little pale.
“You have to take care of yourself,” the other man said.
“Alright, when you come back, you must be careful not to be watched,” the man in the hat said.
The other man sighed and left the beach. He walked around and took a huge detour before flagging a taxi and left. He thought his whereabouts were kept well, but he didn’t know he had been spotted.
“This is unexpected! It’s him!” a man exclaimed
“Who’s there?” Jia Zizai asked.
“Uncle Li, the old guard,” the man said.
“Oh, damn!” Jia Zizai was stunned. “Did you see it correctly?”
“Absolutely, I’m definitely right,” the man said.
“How could it be?” Jia Zizai scratched his head.
He would always see this old man every time he went to the company. He was a jolly person over 60 years old. He could chat with anyone. He was just an ordinary old guard. No one could imagine that he could have personal contact with the unpredictable chairman of the company.
“We really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover,” Jia Zizai said. “Investigate him!”
No one would pay attention to someone like him or even think much about him. After all, he was only a guard. He was even completely ignorant about their company’s main business.
“He has hidden too deep,” Jia Zizai said.
They now had a clue as to what they had to do next. The investigation around Uncle Li soon quietly began.
…
Zheng Weijun arrived in the mountain village. The construction of Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company was progressing smoothly. The main project was scheduled to be completed in October. The relevant procedures were also going well. He had dropped in to check on it and visit Wang Yao.
“Have you been busy lately?” he asked.
“Fortunately, there have not been many patients the past couple of days,” Wang Yao said. “You look good!”
“I’m doing well.” Zheng Weijun said.
When people were happy, they were refreshed. Recently, he had taken over more affairs, and the power in his hands had grown. This was his family’s trust and test for him.
