Seeing that Lin Kai, who had come with Tang Huimin, had been sitting at the table in the card table, Zhao Wenlong knew that it was not appropriate to have a head-on confrontation with them on such an occasion, so he gave a word of advice to the bodyguard beside him and returned to the VIP room.
“What the hell does Tang Hui Min want? Whose VIP card does that one in her hand really belong to?” Zhao Wenlong sat his butt down on the soft bench sofa inside, took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.
“Zhao Dong, you’re calling for me at this time, what’s the matter?” A man’s curt voice came from the phone.
“Mayor Li, Tang Huimin is the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, right?” Zhao Wenlong asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Although Li Chengyun did not know that Zhao Wenlong was the famous Dragon Master of the Black Dragon Gang, he had usually received many favours from the Dragon Python Group of Companies, and therefore, he was treated with respect.
“She came to the Yanjing International Hotel with a VIP card to investigate the case, did you know that?” Zhao Wenlong questioned.
“I don’t know, what is this all about?” Li Chengyun asked suspiciously.
“You’re asking me, who am I asking?” Zhao Wenlong asked in a stern voice, “Our company is a legitimate business, and that woman named Tang from the Public Security Bureau is always harassing us, how can we still do business?”
“Nothing has gone wrong, right?” Li Chengyun was feeling anxious about the fact that the Red Capital City nightclub had been investigated, the general manager Yang Wenbin had been killed, he had authorized the assistant general manager Ma Xiaoli to be on the run, and now there was this mess, which made him feel worried.
“He pointed a gun at our staff, do you think there is any chaos?” Zhao Wenlong said in a cold voice, “I really don’t know, how do you usually manage this part of the public security system?”
“Huh? How could this happen? Is that really true?” Li Chengyun asked in amazement.
“Couldn’t I have lied to you?” Zhao Wenlong said indignantly.
“I’ll have to get someone from below to look into this matter, should I send someone over now to collect her sidearm?” Li Chengyun asked curtly.
Zhao Wenlong didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so he said, “No need, this side of things is almost taken care of, there’s no need for you guys to interfere.”
……
Tang Huimin took three steps to the restaurant’s cashier and handed the gold card in her hand to the cashier.
Zhang Linlin, who was following her, said to the cashier, “Xiao Liu, this is Deputy Director Tang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, you can print out the information on this VIP card and give it to her.”
“Okay.” The cashier answered and then, after putting the VIP card into the card swipe machine and swiping it, a slip of paper was then printed out.
She tore the slip of paper off and handed it to Tang Huimin.
Tang Huimin swept a glance at the slip of paper and then opened her eyes wide. It turned out that the cardholder was actually Xiao Wenbin, the director of the city’s Public Security Bureau, and there was only one purchase record, amounting to $22,000.
“How could Chief Xiao have a VIP card here, how could his card be in Lin Kai’s pocket, and how could he spend so much in one go?” Tang Huixin was so confused that her mind couldn’t turn around for a while.
“How could this card belong to Xiao, the director of the city’s Public Security Bureau? It seems that the man she was with is not a small man, if that’s the case, then Missy has kicked the iron plate,” Zhang Linlin swept a glance towards the note, a little nervous in her heart, and deliberately asked, “Deputy Director Tang, have you found out anything?”
Tang Huimin then slowed down, and seeing Zhang Linlin talking to her in a teasing tone, with a smug look, she said in no good humour.
“Now, you guys believe that this card is real, right?”
“Well, it’s real!” Zhang Linlin nodded her head and said.
“Since it’s true, your Missy has to apologise to us.” Tang Huimin said unrelentingly.
At this moment, Zhao Shan and Yang Song were sitting face to face in a card table not far from Lin Kai.
Zhang Linlin looked at them and said, “Is it okay if I apologise to you for Miss Zhao Shan?”
“No,” said Tang Huimin, shaking her head, “Tonight, she was the one who insulted me, she must apologise to me personally, or else I won’t be finished with you!”
After saying that, she walked straight to their booth and sat opposite Lin Kai.
Zhang Linlin was a bit embarrassed, but fearing that Tang Huimin would continue to spill her guts in the restaurant, she stiffened her head and went to the card table next to Zhao Shan and Yang Song.
“Manager Zhang, has that woman found out who owns that VIP card?” Zhao Shan asked first.
“Well, found out.” Zhang Linlin nodded and said.
“Whose is it?” Zhao Shan asked eagerly.
“The cardholder is Xiao Wenbin, the head of the city’s Public Security Bureau.” Zhang Linlin replied.
“Ah? How could it be his?” Yang Song frowned.
“Isn’t it just the tiny public security chief? What’s the big deal?” Zhao Shan said disdainfully.
Yang Song reminded, “Shan Shan, you mustn’t say that, this Chief Xiao looks smiling but is actually a ruthless foot soldier, even your father has to give him a few points, we can’t offend him easily.”
Zhao Shan felt that Yang Song’s words made sense and asked Zhang Linlin, “What did that woman say?”
“She said that you insulted her in front of so many people and asked you to go and apologise to her.” Zhang Linlin replied truthfully.
……
“Lin Kai, how come Chief Xiao’s VIP card is in your hand?” Tang Huimin asked, raising her willow brows as she handed the gold card into Lin Kai’s hand after sitting on her butt on the bench sofa opposite him.
“This card was given to me by Song Lina, how should I know?” Lin Kai tucked the gold card into his pocket, sighed and said, “Ai, if only Song Linna was here.”
“Do you miss her so much that you can’t get her out of your mind?” Tang Hui Min said sourly.
“No…… not at all……,” Lin Kai explained in a panic.
“You don’t have to explain to me, can’t I see that little thing in your heart?” Tang Huimin glanced at Lin Kai and said, “You don’t say, since we rescued Song Lina from the Japanese invasion country, we haven’t seen her since, where did she go anyway?”
“I don’t know either, I went to find Song Linna’s father and grandfather, they both said that Song Linna had gone to a safe place and told me not to worry about her, do you think, is she deliberately hiding from us?” Lin Kai inquired.
“I don’t think so, don’t worry, I reckon it’s because Song Linna wants to prove something to us.” Tang Huimin said with relief.
“Let’s not talk about her, you’d better look at dealing with the matter at hand!” Lin Kai said slyly.
“What’s there to deal with? That woman has to apologize to us,” Upon being reminded by Lin Kai, Tang Huimin then remembered that she had asked the restaurant manager to ask Zhao Shan to apologize to them, and dropped her gaze to the card table with Zhao Shan and Yang Song.
……
“What did you say? Let me go and apologize to them?” As soon as Zhao Shan heard Zhang Linlin say that, she became angry enough and said in a cold voice, “You going to tell that woman named Tang is simply a fool’s dream, there’s no way!”
“She said that if you don’t apologise, she will not be finished with us ……” Zhang Linlin reminded.
“I’d like to see what she can do to me,” Zhao Shan was used to being pampered since she was young, where does she see a small policeman in her eyes, and said to Zhang Linlin, “This is our family restaurant, I don’t want to see them, we don’t welcome them here, you go and tell them to get lost, don’t affect our appetite!”
