Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 627 - 417: Absolutely Unfazed (Double-Length)
Evening, Hutao Villa.
Qin Minghui actively arranged to meet Qi Yun, delivering a very hidden message to him.
"There’s something I don’t know if you’ve heard about, a delegation from above will be coming down, and the schedule is set for tomorrow."
Qi Yun nodded, "Mm, heard it from a friend."
With a serious expression and a hint of implication, Qin Minghui continued, "If you don’t have much going on recently, why not take a few days off, take the wife and kids on a trip."
Qi Yun was surprised, glancing at him. This was obviously a message with an underlying meaning.
Even a fool could tell it was a suggestion for him to run away.
It seemed this guy must have heard some rumors...
"Hehe." Qi Yun laughed as he picked up his teacup, "Thank you, Leader Qin, for your kindness. I appreciate the gesture."
"But I’ve got a lot going on at the company recently, can’t get away for now."
Qin Minghui scrutinized him, deducing from Qi Yun’s reaction that he already knew what he was talking about.
After pondering for a moment, he sighed, "I know you and that Director Xiao have a close personal relationship, but he is not part of this team. There’s a saying: distant water cannot quench nearby fire."
"If they really want to make things difficult for you, there’s no one here who can help you."
A flicker of emotion crossed Qi Yun’s eyes, not surprised by the news itself, but by Qin Minghui’s attitude.
For him to openly say these things showed that he genuinely wanted to stick with President Qi.
After all, if these words reached the ears of that person, Qin Minghui might also be dragged down with him.
"I’m very touched that Leader Qin could say these words. Thank you for your kind reminder." Qi Yun spoke sincerely, regardless of his intentions, he was indeed looking out for him.
Pausing for a moment, he put down his teacup and shifted his tone, "However, I’m just an honest businessman; I haven’t engaged in any illegal activities, so I’m not afraid of being targeted."
Qin Minghui was taken aback.
These words sounded very naive; anyone with a bit of social experience wouldn’t be so simplistic, let alone Qi Yun.
The only explanation was that he wasn’t afraid, or he was already fully prepared...
Qin Minghui gave Qi Yun a deep look, raised his teacup to indicate, "Alright, since you’re aware of the situation, I’ll say no more."
The meeting between the two didn’t last much longer; after finishing a pot of tea, Qi Yun took the lead in saying goodbye. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Back at Golden Collar Villa, the long-waiting Eagle came to report on the situation.
"Boss, I’ve figured it out."
Qi Yun motioned for him to come to the yard: "Let’s hear it."
Eagle leaned in closer, lowering his voice, "Behind those few grain and oil stores is a man called Brother Qiu. It’s said that Brother Qiu is one of Li the Eighth’s men from the south of the city."
"Additionally, everyone spreading the goods to your friend has been caught. How do you want to handle it?"
Li the Eighth from the south of the city?
It turned out to be this guy.
The names Zhang Liang and Xu Qian involuntarily flashed in Qi Yun’s mind.
That fitness coach Zhang Liang, who used to live upstairs from him, ended up escaping to Chang’an after having an affair with Xu Qian but was caught and has since disappeared.
The same happened to Xu Qian.
The last time Qi Yun went to Ku City in search of that Golden Rattan Chair, he accidentally ran into her; she seemed to be on the run as well.
And the mastermind behind this was this Li the Eighth, known in the underworld by this name.
This person was a generation older than Luo Yang and the others, made a fortune early, owned numerous businesses, and was unquestionably powerful, a big shot.
Back then, Xu Qian offered some valuable things to exchange for Qi Yun’s help, but at that time, he was too weak to provoke Li the Eighth, so he had to cruelly refuse.
"This guy, really as greedy as a horse, you have so much money already, yet you still dabble in such heartless business..." Qi Yun murmured to himself.
After a bit of thought, he instructed Eagle, "Teach them all a lesson, leave them at the hospital’s door."
"Then make a trip to the New District Branch, find Zhang Dayong, and hand over all the evidence you’ve gathered for him to handle."
"Understood." Eagle nodded and quickly turned to leave.
...
Lyon, the Gwen Clan’s manor.
Alfred, the elder of the Gwen Clan besides old George and with the highest prestige, was pacing back and forth inside with a cane at this moment.
"De Gaulle, didn’t you say that the space wasn’t dangerous? Why haven’t we heard any news from the people we sent for two days?"
De Gaulle had his arms crossed over his chest, face unmoved.
Since old George didn’t attend the meeting today, he sat at the head by default.
"I’ve never said that the space was without danger, just that when I led people in, we didn’t encounter any danger."
In response to his remarks, Alfred was visibly unsatisfied, the cane striking heavily against the marble floor: "Are you playing word games with me?"
He was already unwilling to accept De Gaulle sitting in this position, so he harbored hostility towards him, and now, using the pretext of the team’s disappearance, naturally, he would make things difficult for him.
De Gaulle’s expression remained calm, though his eyes grew colder: "Respected uncle, I will reiterate: I have not hidden any risks."
"You were the one who suggested sending people. I can’t imagine what reason you have to argue with me here."
As he said this, all eyes turned to De Gaulle.
The future leader of the Gwen Clan was showing a firm attitude at a family meeting for the first time, no longer as kind and yielding as in the past.
"You!" Alfred was choked up, his face instantly turning ugly. Just as he was about to rely on his status to reprimand De Gaulle, a nearby elder interrupted.
