Lai Xiaohu learned some other information about Pingliang by buying someone who also worked in the Municipal Government Secretariat. This person named Ping Liang has been taking leave for half a month and has not come to work. The whole office knew that Pingliang's mother was seriously ill, so it was easy for Pingliang to take a week-long vacation. Later, Pingliang's vacation time came, but news also came that his mother's operation failed. Although Pingliang did not come this week, his colleagues, including Pingliang's supervisor, expressed sympathy for his experience. There was no rush to urge him to come to work. Pingliang didn't go to work for half a month, and after hurriedly dealing with his mother's funeral, he didn't show up for several days. During these days, no news came out from Pingliang. Moreover, Lai Xiaohu also learned that Ping Liang did not have a good relationship with Geng Jian at work. It should be said that most of the people in his work unit did not have a good relationship with Geng Jian. This was especially true for Ping Liang, who was in the same office as Geng Jian. Why. As Lai Xiaohu saw, Geng Jian was extremely arrogant. When facing a group of colleagues from ordinary families in the office, he almost turned his nose up. Usually Geng Jian either didn't pay much attention to other people, or even talked to them. They were all mixed with some sarcastic remarks. In addition, relying on his connections, Geng Jian always likes to command others to do things as a leader. Except for the two or three people who are fawning over Geng Jian, no one in the entire secretariat has any respect for Geng Jian. What a good impression. The bad relationship between Pingliang and Geng Jian is not only due to the above reasons, but also because Geng Jian robbed Pingliang of his promotion opportunity. Although everyone works as a secretary in the secretariat. But the levels are also different from each other. Pingliang finally found an opportunity to be promoted to half a level, but later the opportunity for promotion was given to Geng Jian. This made Ping Liang, who originally thought he was sure of his promotion, very dissatisfied. Needless to say, he must have always believed that Geng Jian was using his connections to steal his opportunity. It is not easy for a person with no background like Ping Liang to be promoted. Naturally, he cherishes every opportunity. It is strange that Ping Liang is not angry because he was robbed of a chance by Geng Jian. Pingliang has always been resentful towards Geng Jian, but he knows that it doesn't matter that he has no background, so he can only bear it and keep silent towards Geng Jian. Geng Jian, on the other hand, was more dismissive of Pingliang. Perhaps in Geng Jian's view, it was impossible for Ping Liang, who had no background or connections, to surpass him. Pingliang has not been to the company for half a month, and there is no trace of his appearance, which makes it more difficult for Lai Xiaohu to find Pingliang. Moreover, Lai Xiaohu learned that there were no relatives in Pingliang's family. After his mother's death, it could be said that he was the only one left in the family. As for the girlfriend. There is one in Pingliang, but the two of them have broken up long ago. As for friends, most people in the company don't know. Through the relationship, Lai Xiaohu found Pingliang¡¯s ex-girlfriend again. She was twenty-five years old and good-looking. Lai Xiaohu spent a thousand yuan to hook her up. "Why do you all come to ask me about Pingliang? Did he commit something?" The other party asked curiously after Lai Xiaohu said Pingliang's name. Others also came to inquire about Pingliang. Lai Xiaohu guessed that the man should be sent by Geng Jian, "No. He has not committed any crime, and I am not a policeman." "Does that mean he owes a loan shark?" The other party asked again: "I heard that his mother He's sick, and he doesn't have much money. Could it be that he borrowed money from you to treat his mother's illness?" After asking around, Lai Xiaohu got very little information. He had no contact with him since he broke up with Liang. Yes, and she got most of the news about Pingliang from others. As for whether there are other relatives and friends in Pingliang that Lai Xiaohu is concerned about that he can seek refuge with. The other party said no. "Pingliang has no relatives now. As for his friends, he does have a few, but the relationship is not very good. I had dinner with Pingliang and his friends, and I can see that their friendship is very average. Those few people are not Like someone who would take Ping Liang in. " He gave the other party another five hundred yuan and asked him to keep it secret. Then Lai Xiaohu let her go. Now it seems that if you want to find Pingliang, you have to start with Geng Jian. There is no one close to Pingliang now, and it is difficult for Lai Xiaohu to find him when he is hiding consciously. But Lai Xiaohu doesn¡¯t believe that Pingliang will never show up. Now that he has asked Geng Jian for five million, he will definitely get it. As long as he dares to show up, Lai Xiaohu will be sure to catch him. After thinking of a way, Lai Xiaohu focused on monitoring Geng Jian and his son. In order not to miss the fleeting opportunity, Lai Xiaohu even boldly installed a monitor in Geng Jian's house when no one was around. In this way, Geng Jian's car and home are within the monitoring range of Lai Xiaohu, and he can basically fully grasp Geng Jian's movements. Through the monitoring last night, Lai??Hu learned about the plans of Geng Jian and his son. They planned to get rid of Geng Jian in one fell swoop when he appeared. As for the things in Geng Jian's hands, they would destroy them on the spot. The specific time and place of the meeting have not yet been determined, and Geng Jian is also waiting for Ping Liang¡¯s call. Even for this meeting, Geng Jian didn't go to work the next day and directly asked for a day's leave from his work unit. Geng Jian's leave was naturally approved. In the morning, Pingliang received a call, "How about it, will you give me five million?" "Yes." Geng Jian said immediately: "But I hope to meet your people, and I also hope that you can be honest. "Hello, hello," Geng Jian had already hung up the phone before he could say anything, which made Geng Jian almost drop his phone in anger. Later, Geng Jian calmed down under Geng Feng's signal, and then called You Bo again. "The call time was too short, and the people from the Public Security Bureau said they couldn't locate the other party's location information." You Bo said on the phone. "Okay, if that's the case, let's just wait patiently," Geng Feng said from the side after Geng Jian hung up the phone. Although Pingliang is not necessarily that powerful, he still has the vigilance he should have. He also knows that the phone may be monitored. So each call is very short. In fact, if Geng Jian calls the police, Ping Liang will be captured under the full police pursuit. Pingliang's ability to hide is still very vulnerable to professionals. It's a pity that Geng Jian decided not to call the police. Once the things in Ping Liang's hands were obtained by the police, Geng Jian himself would be in trouble. Therefore, he could only use Yu Bo's relationship to secretly mobilize some police power to help him, but he never dared to rely too much on the police, and Geng Jian even felt a little cautious. Although Geng Jian can mobilize some police power, these powers are all mobilized through Yu Bo's relationship. He still trusts Yubo, after all, he is his father-in-law. However, Yu Bo is only a deputy mayor, not the director of public security. Yubo's ability to mobilize the police depends on his connections. But after all, those connections are no longer our own, who knows if they will do some trick behind the scenes. Lai Xiaohu heard the conversation between Geng Jian and Geng Feng clearly. In order to monitor the father and son, Lai Xiaohu drove to a place not far from Geng's house and waited there. There was no further call from Pingliang until noon. Geng Feng and his son were so troubled by Pingliang that they could neither sit nor stand. They even had no intention of eating lunch. On the other hand, Lai Xiaohu found a restaurant outside and had a delicious meal. Hearing the constant sighs of the two father and son, Lai Xiaohu felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Pingliang suddenly received another call, "I will send you a bank account in a moment. You can transfer 4.5 million of the 5 million to this one within an hour." In the account. "Give me the rest in cash." "No." Geng Jian immediately refused, "I have to see you in person and get what you have before I can send the money." You don't trust me, but I don't trust you either." "Okay, then you continue to wait for my call." Ping Liang hesitated and then said. After saying these words in a hurry, Pingliang immediately hung up the phone. "What does Pingliang think?" Lai Xiaohu thought in his mind after hearing the conversation between them. Pingliang asked Geng Jian for five million. But Lai Xiaohu has never been able to figure out what Pingliang will do after he gets the five million. Want five million in cash? You must know that the weight of five million cash alone reaches more than 100 kilograms, and the volume is not small. Lai Xiaohu didn't think Pingliang could carry such a heavy thing and escape quickly. And now Pingliang asked for bank transfer. Didn't he know that Youbo could freeze the bank account he reported with just a phone call? Now that Pingliang has something that the Geng family is afraid of, they naturally dare not attack him directly, but once these things are handed over. The possibility of revenge from the Geng family is high. If it were someone like Lai Xiaohu, he would dare to take the five million. As for the Geng family's revenge, he is not afraid at all. But even if someone like Ping Liang got five million, he probably wouldn't be able to spend it. But he asked for so much money. Could it be that he was just unhappy with Geng Jian and wanted some blood from the Geng family? Since Lai Xiaohu doesn¡¯t understand it, he won¡¯t think about it anymore. He will figure it out when he finds Pingliang. Pingliang seemed to have suddenly evaporated without any news. Geng Jian did not receive any more calls from Pingliang throughout the afternoon or even into the evening. This also made Geng Jian angrily overturned a table at home, "Is this Ping Liang playing tricks on me again?" People like Geng Jian don't have much patience. Ping Liang had already asked Geng Jian for it before. It was already half a million, and now he wants five million. This has made Geng Jian very angry.He believed that Pingliang was not trustworthy. We originally made an appointment to meet today, but it was already ten o'clock in the evening and there was no news. This made it clear that this was the end of the day. In Geng Jian's opinion, this was Pingliang teasing him again, and it would be strange not to be angry. Geng Jian was angry, but Lai Xiaohu was disappointed. I waited all day in vain and nothing happened. Moreover, Lai Xiaohu also listened to the conversation between Geng Jian and his son and thought that Pingliang would not appear again today. After looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock, Lai Xiaohu reluctantly left the vicinity of Geng's house. Lai Xiaohu found a hotel two streets away from Geng¡¯s house, got a room and lay down on the bed to rest. At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lai Xiaohu was suddenly awakened by the sound of an alarm bell. When I turned on the light, I saw that the alarm on the table was going off. It was a warning device connected to the monitor on Geng Jian's car. Once the sound decibel received by the monitor reached a certain height, it would emit a warning sound to alert the monitoring party that there was a change. Lai Xiaohu got these gadgets from Donald. Anyway, the US imperialism is still very advanced in surveillance. All kinds of unimaginable devices emerge in endlessly. I saw this alarm going off. Lai Xiaohu secretly said that he was lucky that he didn't turn off these devices when he went to bed last night, and quickly turned on the monitoring equipment to monitor what was going on there. The first thing Lai Xiaohu heard in the headphones was the sound of an engine. After a while, Geng Jian's voice came, "He asked us to drive to the South Fourth Ring Road. Call him when we get there." "That far?" Lai Xiaohu was surprised when he heard Geng Jian speak. This ordinary person The place Liang wanted to go was quite far. In terms of Shangdu City, the South Fourth Ring Road had already reached the towns outside, and it was not even far from the new city. Then there was a discussion between Geng Jian and Geng Feng. Through their conversation, Lai Xiaohu learned that they had already arranged a back-up plan. Geng Jian planned to catch Ping Liang and kill him during this meeting. But this kind of thing cannot make the two father and son come forward. So in the end, Geng Jian found two people to help him through his connections. After Geng Jian and his son left on the road, Lai Xiaohu quickly got dressed, and then ran out in a hurry without washing up. While driving in the direction of Geng Jian and his son, Lai Xiaohu looked at the time and found that it was just a little over three o'clock. "This Pingliang is really good at picking the time." Two o'clock in the middle of the night is always the time when people relax their vigilance the most. Even those who stay up late fall asleep at this time. Pingliang chose to trade at this time not only because it was dark and there was no one outside. And more importantly, the Geng family and his son were suddenly woken up by Pingliang while they were sleeping. Then they hurried out of the city after receiving a call from Pingliang. It can be said that the Geng family father and son suddenly woke up from their sleep. Then they came out in a hurry. Not only would their previous plans be disrupted, but the effect of rearranging them now would not be very good, because their mental state was not very good at this time. It is estimated that the two father and son were still a little confused. This time Pingliang directly disrupted all the arrangements of the Geng family. Most people will feel confused when they are suddenly woken up while sleeping soundly. Even Lai Xiaohu is forcing himself to cheer up now. Seeing his own condition, Lai Xiaohu thought of the Geng family and his son. It would be great if the two of them had an accident while driving. Of course, that is just an expectation of Lai Xiaohu, and there is no possibility of success. Because more than an hour later, Lai Xiaohu followed the Geng family and his son to the vicinity of the South Fourth Ring Road. Geng Jian drove the car without any incident along the way. On the contrary, Lai Xiaohu struggled to keep up. Except for the two of them, it is difficult to see other vehicles passing by on the road. So in order not to expose himself, Lai Xiaohu didn't even dare to turn on the car lights. After leaving the city, most places have no street lights. Lai Xiaohu was scared to walk on the dark road at night, fearing that he would drive into a ditch. Moreover, Lai Xiaohu couldn't get too close to Geng Jian, otherwise the sound of the engine might be heard by the other party. This night's tracking was Lai Xiaohu's hardest time. When he arrived at the South Fourth Ring Road, Geng Jian did not call Pingliang directly, but called the two people he had arranged in advance. "Mr. Geng, just wait a moment. If something happens on the road, we'll be there soon." He said quickly as soon as the call was connected. "How is it? Is it serious?" Geng Jian asked eagerly after hearing this. "It's not serious. I just didn't do well in Qingpi's driving test and hit something on the road." There was a series of complaints on the phone, "This guy named Pingliang is really looking for death. It's not good to come out at any time. He has to do it in the middle of the night. Originally, I They both slept well. Not only did they delay their rest in the middle of the night, but the car also crashed. "It seems that Lai Xiaohu's prayer that something happened to Geng Jian didn't work."?But something happened to someone. "Okay, okay, I'll pay for the repair of the car. You and Qingpi come over quickly." Geng Jian directly interrupted the other party's complaint. Geng Jian knew very well who the other party was. In fact, Qingpi and the others were not too far away from Geng Jian. In about ten minutes, Lai Xiaohu saw a car driving slowly towards them. Fortunately, Lai Xiaohu hid the car behind a stone pier, otherwise it might have been discovered. "Young Master Geng." Qingpi said respectfully to Geng Jian after he and another person got out of the car. As for Geng Feng, he didn't get out of the car at all. "Are you all ready?" Geng Jian glanced at the two of them and then asked. "Don't worry, Mr. Geng. Everything is ready, and I guarantee that he will not see the sun in a few hours as you said." The two said in unison. After receiving the assurances from the two people, Geng Jian called Pingliang with confidence, "We have arrived, what should we do next?" After telling his specific location, Geng Jian asked. "There is a section of ancient city wall outside the South Fourth Ring Road, you know, right? Wait for me near the stone monument of that section of the ancient city wall." Ping Liang said briefly in the same way and hung up the phone. "Old city wall, let's go." Geng Jian got in the car and drove south. The man named Qingpi and another man got Geng Jian's order and started to take a detour. "Ancient city wall?" Lai Xiaohu also had some impressions of it. It was a very old-fashioned city wall in ancient times, said to be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, that section of the city wall was not made of stone bricks, but made of compacted soil. Because it had been covered with various trees for a long time, it looked like a small forest from a distance.
