Chapter 284: Two links

"Tell me you found something," Yang Bingqing said, heading out towards the garden.

"I did pick up some breadcrumbs. But this is not my age to do that, you know? I should be holding my grandchild in my arms and not wringing them around some thugs’ necks to get answers."

"You can punish the perpetrator all you want for disturbing your peace of life," she chuckled.

"First of all, your left hand man is useless," he sneered. "Cooped up in his house and not picking up my calls. The nerve! I thought Ningkai and I would suffer together but...!"

Ningkai was Shi Ningkai, who helped Mingshen in his favor at the Medical Association.

"Has he become a monk or what?"

"I have also put him on the job to investigate. He must be doing his own thing," she shrugged. "You tell me whose neck I should be wringing for using my gang’s name for their dirty purposes."

A dark and bloodthirsty glint shone in her eyes, her knuckles already cracking with murderous intent.

"First of all, this She leader, whoever he or she is, is quite elusive and knows how to hide their tracks well. Especially after the cops’ crackdown at the charity event. They are more cautious than ever. It took me to dig up my whole network to hear even a whisper."

"Did you get to hear any?" She raised her brow.

"Two things. A low level thug told me how he saw a friend of his friend - who is also a thug as him obviously - make some exchange with a guy who apparently had a She tattoo on his neck."

"Money?"

"Probably. Could be drugs, gold or a hundred other things. He didn’t see what was inside the bag, but he did see the exchange."

"Where can we get this friend of a friend thug?"

"Which brings me to my second piece of information. Where do thugs usually hang around?"

"Bars, clubs, steak places," she shrugged, "wherever there is music, lights, food and women."

"There is another place which fulfills all that criteria. A red-light district."

"Oh."

"Yes. Apparently, this friend of a friend thug often visits Huayuan."

"Wait a second. How come underworld thugs are allowed into Huayuan? Doesn’t the leader control that?"

"I also don’t know how. But he does go there."

She knitted her brows.

"So some goon exchanged something with a member of this new gang and he visits Huayuan."

"Yes, that is the first information I got."

"I thought going to Huayuan was the second part."

"No. The second information is connected to Huayuan only. One of my informants was hovering around Huayuan yesterday and he was shocked to see a cop outside the entrance."

"A cop?"

"Song Jia."

Yang Bingqing slightly widened her eyes. "Jia was there?"

Xie Zi Han said, "Yes. But she didn’t get an entry as was expected from Huayuan’s rules. So I told my informant to investigate. I thought she found information on the same friend of a friend thug. But she hadn’t. Instead, she was looking for a woman. My man chatted with a woman there and he got to know about a woman named Yong."

Yang Bingqing looked thoughtful. "Jia is also investigating this cult so most probably, this Yong woman must be related to She in some way."

"She is because Yong was the same woman Song Jia was chasing after all hell broke loose. It was a whole spectacle in front of the guests as was Hou Tengqi’s accident."

"Don’t care about him. But..." Yang Bingqing blinked. "...I cannot imagine Huayuan being related to She in such a way. It might have been possible during Long Sicong’s era but not after the new leader took place. Huayuan has been peaceful since then."

"Long Sicong is gone but not necessarily all the men who held the same views as him."

"Which I assume the new leader would have taken care of."

"Maybe they are taken care of. And maybe this new leader is secretly no better than Long Sicong. We cannot say."

"So is Yong hiding in Huayuan or somewhere else?"

"That’s what Song Jia wanted to investigate I presume but she didn’t get any answers and neither did my guy. They were very tight-lipped about that part. Any more questions and they would have thrown him out.

But the more I think about it, the more I feel that this leader is upto no good. He or she let a thug in, which according to their own rules cannot."

Yang Bingqing looked thoughtful.

"I can leave Yong’s part to Jia. Let’s not interfere with that or else she and Mingshen could get suspicious. But we need to find this friend of a friend."

"I have told that thug to keep an eye on him and let me know about his whereabouts. I will be there wherever he pops up next time."

She raised her hand and slowly rubbed the back of her neck as if feeling the presence of that now invisible tattoo she once held.

"Ahh let’s get this over with so that I can enjoy my cuddly life with my husband again~"

"Don’t throw dog food at this single father."

"You are just jealous. How is your daughter doing?"

"Busy with her work," he sighed. "By the way, she said that she might drop by for a visit at the Yang villa tomorrow."

"Oh that’s great!" She chirped. "Mulan is always welcome here~"

"Not really. I want to keep my daughter far away from you."

"Haww, that’s rude," she flared her nostrils. "I will be a very good host. I always am!"

A smile formed on his lips. "Good night, Boss. I will keep you updated."

He hung up and she glared.

How dare he hang up! I am still his ex-Boss!

She harrumphed and turned only to freeze on her spot. She then broke into a nervous laughter.

"J-Jia dear..." she said, patting her forehead.

"Aunt," Jia blinked once and stared at her. "What were you...?"

Oh shit!
