This...this...
Rongxing and Tiequan Nan watched this scene in disbelief:
Iron Fist South: "Wait, is this sniper really that bad? So inaccurate when shooting Qin Jiang, but incredibly accurate when shooting his own men..."
Rong Xing: "It's not that the sniper is bad! Anyone who can make a name for themselves on the international battlefield is no bad. And haven't you noticed that almost everyone who peeks out gets hit the instant they appear? What does that mean? It means it's not that his skills are bad, but that Qin Jiang is too abnormal. He seems to be able to pinpoint the sniper's location every time..."
"Or perhaps someone close to him could sense it..."
Iron Fist South: "Impossible, right? There really are people like that in the world..."
Rongxing: "Yes! I've seen it! But it's not a sniper with premonitions, it's someone who can predict gambling: at first I thought he was cheating, but later I found out he really could predict things. Although it's not 100% accurate, the success rate is very high. By analogy, there must be similar people. It seems that either Qin Jiang has such a person around him, or he himself is such a special existence."
Iron Fist South: "Pervert! Absolutely pervert!"
Rongxing: "That's fucking perverted..."
Iron Fist South: "Brother Rong! What do we do next?"
Rong Xing: "What do we do? Nothing! Immediately send people back to pick up the spies, have the key figures leave Pudi immediately, sever all communication links with the Nest Gate, and make sure that the Nest Gate's affairs don't trace back to us..."
Iron Fist South: "But what if those Samba guys betray us...?"
Rongxing: "Give us a chance? Did we cooperate with him? Do they have any concrete evidence? What can they do to me without evidence? At most, some of their men in the vicinity might be suspicious, but suspicion isn't evidence. Suspicion alone can't convict me."
Iron Fist Nan nodded: Although many people were involved in the murder of Qin Jiang in cooperation with the Nest Gate, few knew the inside story. Most of them were ordered to be in charge of a separate area. Moreover, when Brother Rong communicated with the people of the Nest Gate, he searched those people and found no eavesdropping devices or recording equipment. Under such circumstances, even if Samba and others wanted to drag them into the mess, they would have no evidence at all.
To put it bluntly, they'd rather die than admit it!
With their status and powerful backers, no one could do anything to them; it was just that the plan was not quite as expected.
Rongxing opened his phone, took out the SIM card, and handed it to Tiequan Nan: "Destroy it completely. Also, prepare a generous gift for me! I'm going to pay my respects to the clan chief next week."
He was confident that neither the Ning family nor Governor Wang could obtain concrete evidence of his involvement, but he also needed to inform the Zhou family: after being a dog for so many years, it was time for the master to do something!
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!
Moreover, although the plan was not perfectly completed, it did achieve the goal of establishing Rongxing's authority and embarrassing the Ning family.
It's not really a failure!
...
The Zhong family!
The Zhong family was bustling with activity today: after the Ning family personally sent a car to escort Zhong Ling yesterday, the Zhong family became the focus of everyone's attention.
It's all the rage:
Zhong Ling is paired with Qin Jiang, a distinguished guest of the Ning family and a bigwig in the mainland: Zhong Ling's connection with Qin Jiang will not only give the Zhong family the opportunity to enter the mainland market, but also allow them to establish a relationship with the Ning family. As a result, the Zhong family will surely rise to prominence in the future. Naturally, many forces intend to take the opportunity to make connections with them. Therefore, the Zhong family is very lively!
lobby:
Mr. Zhong and his second uncle were receiving the bigwig.
backyard!
Zhong Ling was surrounded by a large number of young men and women, all of whom were second-generation rich kids in Pudi. Some of them had no prior connection with Zhong Ling but made up an excuse to come and welcome her. Among them, the few rich kids who had said goodbye to Zhong Ling halfway through yesterday because of family matters came early this morning and even acted as Zhong Ling's close friends to help her greet the other second-generation rich kids.
That obsequious appearance!
You couldn't tell at all that they were embarrassed when they left yesterday!
They also changed how they addressed Zhong Ling; they used to call her by her name or something like "Xiao Ling".
But now they are all called:
"Sister Ling!"
.....
"Sister Ling! I had to leave in a hurry yesterday because of family matters, and I haven't had a chance to give you the gift I prepared to celebrate your return..." A young man took out a gift box and presented it to Zhong Ling: "A pair of golden phoenixes! Auspicious! Congratulations on your return, Sister Ling, and may you soar to the heavens!"
He opened the gift box: inside was an exquisitely carved pure gold phoenix; judging from its weight and craftsmanship, it was clearly a valuable item, meticulously prepared.
...
He took out a gift.
The others also took out gifts they had prepared beforehand, especially the group that left yesterday, who went to great lengths to ease tensions, bringing out gifts that were all quite valuable:
What kind of jade carving is this bamboo?
What famous master painted this?!
.....
All in all, it must be worth at least tens of millions!
This is extremely rare even for an ordinary rich second-generation like Zhong Ling. Although the Zhong family has assets of 1 billion yuan, she is not the only descendant in the family, but as many as eight or nine! Among them are many male descendants! To put it bluntly, when she comes of age and gets married, her family can normally give her a dowry of only 10 to 20 million yuan.
Anything beyond that, she'll have to rely on herself!
after all:
Most industries have fixed assets that cannot be moved, and the main heirs are definitely male. By the time it comes to these great-granddaughters, the amount of money they can get is very small, just enough to ensure they have enough to eat and wear. But now, the value of the gifts she received today is almost as high as this figure, which is simply outrageous!
even:
She felt that her fate had taken a turn for the better. Not only were these people fawning over her, but even her family was doing the same: although they used to like her very much and treat her like a little princess, now the elders were more respectful towards her.
He shook his head.
Zhong Ling nodded to the people who were giving her gifts, not thinking about any of that.
"Thank you!" She didn't refuse the gifts because refusing would be like slapping the other person in the face and turning them into an enemy.
Tongtong, feeling quite embarrassed, said, "Sister Ling! I'm so sorry! I forgot to prepare a gift for you today..."
Zhong Ling held her hand: "We don't need gifts, you'll always be my best friend." She remembered that Tongtong hadn't left her side even in that dangerous situation yesterday.
Tongtong felt very guilty: She hadn't planned to leave yesterday, but she was too embarrassed to leave since everyone else had. Now, hearing this, she naturally felt a little guilty.
Zhong Ling patted her shoulder: "If you're free today, why don't you stay and sleep with me? We haven't talked all night in ages..."
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at Tongtong with envy. Having such a relationship with Zhong Ling might allow her to get close to the Ning family in the future. Even if she could only become a familiar face, she would still have some influence and make a lot of money in the future.
Tongtong nodded, "Okay!" She thought to herself, "Zhong Ling treats me as her best friend, and I can't hesitate any longer. I will treat Zhong Ling as my best friend and never leave her."
Just as the Zhong family was enjoying a lively time, news of Qin Jiang's attack suddenly broke, turning the once bustling place into a silent one....
