147: Upon learning about Di Xiaoba, was it a pleasant surprise or a shock?
"Yes."
Su Guoqiang nodded.
"According to the scene and the record of the interrogation, there was indeed a group from Xinyi Group, but their goal was to rescue hostages."
"When we arrived, they were being suppressed by people from Baishan. The person with the dagger at their throat was the head of Xinyi Group."
"The real mastermind behind this should be someone else, right?"
"That's right."
Su Guoqiang said, "It's someone named Zhang Yu."
At this point,
Su Guoqiang also couldn't figure out when Zhang Yu became involved with Xinyi Group.
To what extent was their relationship?
It was all unknown.
What was known was that Xinyi Group had done a good deed this time.
Moreover, since Xinyi Group appeared in Jiangcheng, they hadn't committed any evil deeds.
Therefore, he didn't want to make enemies with them.
"It's been a long time since I went down to take a look."
The Leader sighed.
"The current Xinyi Group is quite different from what it was twenty years ago."
"So, what should I do?"
Su Guoqiang asked for instructions.
"Don't mind them!"
The Leader said, "Just do your daily work, patrol when you need to, and stand guard when you need to. All right, you may go."
"Yes!"
Su Guoqiang saluted.
Then he walked out of the office.
His Deputy at the door had also been waiting for a long time.
"Director Su, what did he say?"
"For this matter, focus on the people from Baishan and find a breakthrough."
Su Guoqiang instructed, "As for the people from Xinyi Group, after their statements are taken, let them all go back."
"Yes!"
Although the Deputy was surprised, he still nodded and complied.
"Oh, and today's incident, all public opinion must be blocked. The news cannot be released."
Su Guoqiang said.
After all, this matter was too complex, involving too many people.
Since the case was under investigation, control over public opinion needed to be strengthened.
To prevent some people from misleading those who don't know the truth by spouting nonsense... "Master, I've arrived."
Yezu said.
An ordinary residential building in the city center looked unremarkable.
"Is this Xinyi Group's... settlement in Jiangcheng?"
Zhang Yu thought of 'hideout' and 'stronghold', but neither seemed appropriate.
How could he describe his own place like that?
"Yes, Master, do you want to go up and take a look?"
Yezu asked.
"Since I'm already here, I might as well go up and take a look."
Zhang Yu nodded.
Yezu led the way, and after passing through several alleys,
They stopped in front of an iron gate.
She tapped lightly and rhythmically on the door a few times.
Someone came out to open the door.
Seeing Zhang Yu, a stranger, the person's face was full of vigilance.
"This is the master of Xinyi Group!" Yezu exclaimed, "Don't be rude!"
The person immediately became respectful.
Zhang Yu followed Yezu through the iron gate.
They went up to the third floor.
The building had a 'hui' ( times) shape structure, with residents on all four sides and a small garden in the middle, serving as an activity space.
"Master, this is where we usually hold meetings."
Yezu led Zhang Yu to one of the rooms.
Zhang Yu walked in and looked around.
Wow, what a sight.
On two of the walls, one had a huge map.
The other wall was like a spider web, with lines connecting various photos of different people.
If one didn't know what this place was,
It really did look a bit like the analysis board commonly used by police officers for cases.
No wonder Xinyi Group could grow so large.
Even the smallest organization had a clear structure and powerful intelligence-gathering capabilities.
"Master, here's some water."
Yezu handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"By the way, how do you usually handle food and lodging?"
Zhang Yu asked curiously.
"Aside from meetings, there aren't many people here normally. Everyone outside is a security guard, a vendor, or an office worker. So they eat at their workplaces."
"As for living, besides the third floor, the second and first floors have more residents. Each floor has a door lock."
Yezu replied.
"That's good."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Master, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it."
Yezu said at this moment.
"Ask away."
"This question was also feedback from the subordinates, which is, in which direction should our Xinyi Group go in the future?"
"Just stay put," Zhang Yu said. "Since everything is normal now, there's no need to fight for territory and profits. Just keep a good watch over those establishments."
"I understand!"
Yezu also understood Zhang Yu's meaning.
That is, to change their style and no longer cause trouble.
But they had to consolidate their current territory, such as KTVs, pubs, and similar places. They couldn't let others seize them.
The main principle was: if others don't offend me, I won't offend them.
But they also needed the confidence to flip the table at any moment.
"What's this?"
Zhang Yu saw many documents, USB drives, and mobile phones on the cluttered table.
"Master, these are some important people's information that we have. Do you need a copy? I can transfer it to you right away."
Yezu said.
"Is there anything about me?"
Zhang Yu smiled.
"Master!"
When Yezu heard this, she was startled and immediately knelt on one knee: "I would never dare to investigate you! But for your safety, we conducted an investigation into the people around you!"
"If Master dislikes it, I will destroy everything immediately!"
"I was just asking, you don't need to be afraid."
Zhang Yu knew that this was Yezu's duty as a subordinate.
She would definitely understand the people around him to prevent anyone from harming him.
However, she hadn't said anything so far.
This indicated that the people he encountered had clean backgrounds and no issues.
Even if she hadn't investigated, he would have known this himself.
"But Master, there's something you probably don't know."
Yezu said.
"What is it?"
"One of your tenants, Di Xiaoba, had a check-up at the hospital and seems to be pregnant."
What?
When Zhang Yu heard this,
His pupils widened.
Is it that exciting?
He had only learned about Lu Hanxiao's situation through Su Mei.
And what Yezu said should not be false.
Could it be that Di Xiaoba also... This news truly surprised Zhang Yu.
"I don't know how Master plans to handle it. If Master needs, we can also..."
Those who often create 'accidents' know how to do something without leaving a trace.
"What are you saying?"
Zhang Yu glanced at Yezu.
"You are loyal enough, but I told you not to act on your own initiative."
"Yes, Master!"
Yezu's face also turned pale.
"Alright, you should rest well. I'm going back to check things out."
Zhang Yu stood up.
If he didn't go back soon, he felt like the house would be in chaos.
Should this news be described as a surprise or a shock?
How could all these things happen at once?
