Chapter 343 Meet the Man behind the Screen Again
Finding the time has come, Tong Lean presses the bird eye on the huge wall painting. The wall painting is separated to both sides. A small door emerges. Tong Lean goes through it first and Gu Yang follows him.
It turns out to be an underground chamber.
Go down the steps until the end, and then you’ll see a room of about dozens of square meters. It’s not big, but there is a table, a chair, a bed and a bathroom. It also has great ventilation. Therefore, it’s a fairish shelter.
Gu Yang sits by the sofa. Tong Lean walks to the table to boil water to make tea.
Once the tea is made, a man walks down the other step entrance opposite to the previous one.
The dignified man wears light casual clothes. His cold face looks expressionless. When he enters the chamber and sees Gu Yang and Tong Lean, he just raises his eyes, which is his way to say hello. Then he walks to the sofa and sits down slowly.
Gu Yang has risen and is standing aside with his head lowered.
Tong Lean gives an exquisite cup to the man respectfully, “Boss, your favorite Maojian Tea.”
The man nods slightly and lifts the cup slowly.
Gu Yang can’t wait anymore obviously. He strides to the man and grumbles loudly, “Boss, I disposed of Lin Jiao properly. The police won’t suspect Rongsheng definitely, so we don’t need to meet so carefully.”
The man blows the hot tea and is about to drink it. Hearing what Gu Yang says, he puts the cup down lightly.
“Scarman, how many years have you worked for me?”
Gu Yang is surprised and then replies, “Ten Years.”
The man doesn’t ask more and continues to drink tea.
Gu Yang doesn’t understand his meaning apparently. Tong Lean pulls him back and explains to him, “Our boss means that now that you have worked for him for so many years, you should believe his judge.”
“I…I believe our boss, of course. But boss, you also should believe the abilities of Old Yao and me.” Gu Yang looks at the man confusedly.
Tong Lean thinks and asks, “Boss, are you worried about Luo Jiahua?”
Gu Yang becomes indignant immediately, “That guy was scared stiff by Lin Jiao’s death. When he came to his senses, the police had surrounded him. But boss, we have remedied it with the backup plan already. The police regarded the accident as a traffic one and said Lin Jiao needed to take the main responsibility. Moreover, Lin Jiao’s sister, Lin Hong, said nothing after she got the compensation.”
The man asks leisurely, “You planned to ask Luo Jiahua to hit and kill Lin Jiao and then escape. Weren’t you afraid he would be shot by the surveillance equipment and then investigated?”
Gu Yang says complacently, “I wasn’t. Luo Jiahua wore a pair of big eyes and hid his face with the collar. His appearance can’t be seen clearly in the surveillance equipment.”
Tong Lean pats his forehead suddenly and says regretfully, “Boss, we didn’t arrange carefully enough!”
Gu Yang stares at Tong Lean for quite a while and thinks about what he said just now. Then he realizes what the problem is and can’t help slapping his thigh.
Without a great response, the man still says calmly, “Yang Tao and Ji Muxian have checked the surveillance pictures. According to their reconnaissance ability, they should have become suspicious of Rongsheng.”
Tong Lean still counts on luck, “They only suspect that we hit and killed Lin Jiao intentionally at most, but they won’t suspect that we aim at the trap map of the coffer, right?”
The man breaks Tong Lean’s dream directly, “The police should have guessed that Xiao Dawen buried the false explosive just to throw Lin Jiao into prison and protect Fu Zhengzheng. Soon they will investigate you through Xiao Dawen. These things are a whole. If they spend more time thinking, they will connect them together.”
Gu Yang begins to curse regretfully, “It’s all the bitch Lin Jiao’s fault. If I hadn’t been nostalgic for the old relationship, I would have taken a chance to take her here and put her into the cement pillar. A lot of trouble would have been saved.”
“Scarman!”
Tong Lean pulls Gu Yang secretly. Gu Yang realizes he is too outspoken, so he begins to comfort the man instead, “Boss, they will suspect Old Yao and me at most. They won’t associate us with you. If the worst comes to the worst, I will shoulder all the responsibility. I will confess that I covet the coffer so I want to protect Fu Zhengzheng’s safety. Meanwhile, I will bind explosive on my body to explode the police office. Then they will be distracted, and you can take the chance to do something.”
Tong Lean dissuades Gu Yang at once, “Scarman, it’s only our speculation, right? Don’t act rashly. If you do it, you not only can’t help our boss but will get him into some bigger trouble.”
The man glances at Gu Yang and then sighs suddenly, “The more we do, the more easily our trick will be exposed. It’s inevitable.”
Tong Lean adds tea for the man and says in a low voice, “Boss, we only put a wrong bet on Luo Jiahua. Other things were all done carefully. I don’t think you need to be so nervous.”
Gu Yang echoes, “Right. I think everything is all right, including Li Xiaomeng’s death, Xu Ziqiang in C City, the explosion case on the ring road and the incident in Lingshan Nunnery, all clear.”
The man waves, signaling him to stop, “Now the point is to find out if the trap map is kept by Fu Zhengzheng.”
Tong Lean looks at the watch and says, “Six hours has passed since she was called last time. I will ask someone to call her again.”
The man nods. Tong Lean makes a call at once.
Gu Yang moves to the man and asks, “Boss, Fu Zhengzheng said she hadn’t made a decision. Doesn’t it mean she has the trap map, right? Now that she has the trap map, why not kidnap her son just like last time. She will certainly give us the trap map as she surrendered the key last time.”
Tong Lean has given his order. When he hangs up the phone, he hears what Gu Yang says and objects, “When can you become less impatient? Now Han family and the police are protecting Fu Xing heavily. I guess even if you go to kidnap him with our men and guns, you may not catch him easily. At that time, everything will be exposed before them.”
Choked by Tong Lean to be speechless, Gu Yang stands aside embarrassedly.
The man ignores Gu Yang. He asks Tong Lean, “The call has been made?”
Tong Lean nods. Finding the tea before the man becomes cold, he gives him another cup of hot tea.
The man doesn’t take the cup this time. Instead, he looks at them and says in a deep voice, “Scarman, Old Yao, you have followed me for many years. I won’t let you be harmed unless there is no other way…”
Gu Yang interrupts the man to show his attitude immediately, “Boss, I enjoyed myself to the full in the past six years. I have experienced all the fun for the rest of my life. Even if I have to die for you right now, I won’t be regretful at all!”
“Shut up!” The man’s eyes are fierce again.
Tong Lean pushes Gu Yang away and corrects him, “Scarman, we said we would try our best to help our boss fulfil his dream, didn’t we? Now the coffer hasn’t been opened and our boss’s dream hasn’t been fulfilled. Do you want to withdraw?”
“I don’t want to withdraw. I just…” Gu Yang hesitates.
Firmness spreads across the man’s face, “I’m determined to get the coffer!”
“Yes, the coffer is yours!” Tong Lean is also confident.
When Tong Lean is just done, his phone rings. He connects it quickly and hangs up the phone after a few seconds with a beam.
“Boss, Fu Zhengzheng said she would like to cooperate with us and agreed to meet at the place appointed by us.”
The man straightens his body and stands up instantly, “Fabulous. Are our men ready?”
“Yes.” Finding the man still looks worried, Tong Lean adds, “This group of men are absolutely reliable. There will be no problem.”
The man nods, thinks and then says, “After it’s finished, suspend all illegal projects of Rongsheng. Abide by the law and behave yourselves for a period of time. Don’t contact me temporarily. I will contact you if necessary.”
“OK.” Tong Lean and Gu Yang nod and watch the man off.
After the man leaves, Tong Lean goes up the steps. Seeing Gu Yang standing still, he stops his feet, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Yang looks confused, “Old Yao, our boss has accumulated considerable wealth in the six years. In B City, only Weihan is a little more powerful than us. Our money is enough for us to live a high life. Why does our boss still rack his brains and take such a big risk to get the coffer?”
Tong Lean sighs, “What his father earned during half of his life is in the coffer. Besides, to get the coffer, our boss even sacrificed his baby. Now the coffer has become his unswerving target. If he can’t get it, he will be unhappy in the rest of his life. I guess he even can’t close his eyes at the hour of death.”
Perhaps realizing the word “death” is ominous, Tong Lean spits for three times on the ground.
Gu Yang pauses and then asks, “Who can’t our boss put down in his heart, the unborn baby or Li Xiaomeng?”
Tong Lean answers honestly, “Li Xiaomeng is the daughter of the man killing our boss’s father. Our boss has deep hatred towards her. Even if he can’t put her down, he won’t admit it.”
“I think our boss shouldn’t have killed Li Xiaomeng. She was extremely loyal to him. If he had been more patient, Li Xiaomeng would have given the coffer to him actively. Then our boss could have spent freely the wealth earned by Li Ming with his life in daytime and dallied his daughter at night. Don’t you think it’s the best revenge to the enemy? Even thinking of it can make me feel satisfied!” Gu Yang talks on and on.
Tong Lean pats him out of the dream, “Now that you have the time to imagine it, you’d better think about if there are any slips in the arrangement tonight.”
“I’m thinking, OK?” Gu Yang catches up with Tong Lean.

Han Siqi’s room in Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort.
Han Siqi and Fu Zhengzheng are sitting opposite to each other in silence. They both look serious.
Fu Zhengzheng’s phone rings. The call is from Yang Tao. She connects it immediately.
Once connecting it, Yang Tao’s worried voice comes to her ears, “Zhengzheng, we have made arrangements in the appointed place. But possibly it’s not the place where you really meet. Let’s play to the score tactically.”
“I know.” At this moment, Fu Zhengzheng becomes composed instead.
“Be cautious.”
“I will.”
When Fu Zhengzheng just hangs up the phone, someone knocks at the door.
