Zhang Yang took the teacup in An Yuchen's hand, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "The best Tieguanyin!" An Zhiyuan's words have already made it clear to him that his current situation is very difficult.

An Zhiyuan sat up: "I'm not sick, if I say I'm sick, it's heart disease!" ”

Zhang Yang looked at An Lao quietly, this old man obviously had a clear idea of the purpose of his coming, so he didn't need to talk much at all, all he had to do was just listen.

An Zhiyuan said: "Recently, our family has encountered a little trouble, my eldest son has an accident, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has targeted my son, the Commercial Crime Bureau has targeted me, and we have been in Antai, and the wall has fallen and everyone has pushed it." A lot of old things have been put on the table, they want to mess with me, and they want to take this opportunity to knock me into the abyss from which I will never recover. The old man's face showed an inviolable expression.

Zhang Yang doesn't care about what happened to An's family, what he cares about most is the tourism development plan of Qingtai Mountain, is the money invested in the first phase of Anlao black money? Does this old man have the purpose of money laundering?

An Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Yang with deep meaning: "Zhang Yang, I have always regarded you as a friend who can be honest with each other, so there are some things that we still say frankly between us, did you come to me this time, did you encounter trouble?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, since An Zhiyuan saw the purpose of his visit, he had no need to hide it: "An Lao, the tourism development of Qingtai Mountain has encountered great trouble.

An Zhiyuan sighed and said: "The group's capital account is temporarily frozen, and the next investment must wait until this crisis is over, and give me more time." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head: "An Lao, you didn't understand what I meant, what I said was not a problem of funds, but a problem of where the funds came from." Now there are rumors that you are using the Cheongdaisan tourism development to launder money, so this matter has caused a political storm. ”

An Zhiyuan was silent, he opened the lunch box, took out a piece of durian cake and chewed it slowly, and said after a long time: "They thought that my investment was black money, so they made a fuss about this matter, this time I am afraid that it will affect many officials, right?" ”

"You should know that if the source of this money is unknown, the situation will become very serious, and now Li Changyu, the executive vice mayor of Jiangcheng, has been shuanggui, and Qin Qing, the mayor of Chunyang County, is also facing the same fate, An Lao, I believe you, it is a good thing for you to invest in your hometown. But now that there is such a big problem, I want you to come up with evidence to prove where the money came from, and don't let innocent people be implicated. ”

An Zhiyuan stuffed all the durian cakes into his mouth. Eat slowly, enjoy it, and lean back on the bed. Slowly closed his eyes, making people mistakenly think that he wanted to sleep, in Zhang Yang's opinion, this old man wanted to use this attitude to give himself an eviction order, when his heart was unhappy, An Zhiyuan said: "When I came to Hong Kong, my hands were empty, I was penniless, a mainlander, a bandit's son, what do you want to rely on in Hong Kong?" Rely on courage, rely on fists, if you want to gain a foothold in this mixed land, you have to be more ruthless than others! ”

An Zhiyuan still closed his eyes, his thoughts returned to the distant past, he had a time of fierce fighting, he relied on his fists, relied on a mountain knife, and fought a bloody way in Hong Kong, his power reached its peak in Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies, and the Xinyi Hall he created single-handedly was even better than three at that time

Synthesis. And the departure of his wife made An Zhiyuan suddenly enlightened overnight, he decided to change his mind and turn the family business into the right line, when this decision was made, his fourth son An Deyuan had a fierce conflict with him, and finally the two broke off the father-son relationship, An Deyuan went to Taiwan, and twenty years have passed, An Zhiyuan used twenty years to launder his family business a little bit, the efforts and dedication of outsiders are unimaginable, and even Xinyitang has disappeared in the underworld in Hong Kong, An Zhiyuan thinks that he has completed the whitewashing of the entire community, he can finally enjoy his old age in peace, for so many years, he has not returned to his hometown to invest, but also out of concern about the past underworld experience, I didn't expect that these old things were turned over after all, and the fuse of the incident turned out to be the most stable eldest son in his eyes. An Zhiyuan said: "It took me a full twenty years to whitewash the An family, and I didn't expect that I was still black in the eyes of outsiders!" He slowly opened his eyes, stared at Zhang Yang's face and said: "Zhang Yang, don't worry, I don't have the slightest evil intentions for my hometown and my old people, the money I used to invest in my hometown is clean, and I will give an explanation to my hometown people as soon as possible!" Zhang Yang saw his sincerity in An Zhiyuan's eyes, nodded and said, "I believe in you!" ”

A bodyguard outside the door suddenly rushed in in a panic: "Master, something is wrong!" ”

"Young Master Ming has an accident! The police found drugs in the car, suspected him of hiding drugs, and have arrested him! ”

An Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "How is it possible, Daming never touches that thing!" An Daming was born to his second son, after returning from studying in the United States, he has been working in his group, down-to-earth and hardworking, is the most important one of An Zhiyuan, in his heart he was shocked to regard this grandson as the head of the future An family, I didn't expect this to happen, An Zhiyuan quickly calmed down, although he was recuperating in the hospital these days, he no longer paid attention to the outside movement all the time, he realized that the investigation of his eldest son by the Independent Commission Against Corruption was just the beginning, and someone was planning a series of actions against him. An Zhiyuan pursed his lips and made an extremely important decision in a short period of time: "Little demon, tell them that I will be discharged from the hospital immediately!" ”

An Yuchen looked at his grandfather with some astonishment, not knowing why he suddenly had such a thought.

An Zhiyuan said: "What should come is to come after all, I want to see who is hurting me behind my back!" ”

Although he only met An Zhiyuan in a hurry, Zhang Yang already felt that the old man's current situation was not good, and when he got up to say goodbye, An Zhiyuan said softly: "Zhang Yang, the day after tomorrow is my seventieth birthday, can you come to enjoy the light?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded happily and said, "Okay!" No problem, I just want to stay in Hong Kong for a few days! ”

An Yuchen felt very strange, originally his grandfather didn't plan to celebrate his birthday, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind, if he had a big birthday the day after tomorrow, he would start preparing now.

An Zhiyuan said: "Speaking of which, I haven't gotten together with my old friends for a long time, little demon, contact Lawyer Zhou, and bail your brother Ming out immediately, I don't want him to be wronged at the police station." ”

"Whoa!"

An Yuchen sent Zhang Yang all the way to the outside of the ward, and there was not a trace of a smile on her face from beginning to end, and it could be seen that her heart was still very serious.

Zhang Yang told An Yuchen of his mobile phone number in Hong Kong, which Qiu Yueru temporarily lent him to use, and he comforted An Yuchen and said: "If you want to open up a little bit of everything, I think this matter should pass soon." ”

An Yuchen pursed her lips: "Master, I'm sorry......" Her eyes were slightly red.

Zhang Yang smiled very sunny and bright: "Little demon, you have no place to be sorry for me, no one wants this situation to happen now." He waved his hand and said goodbye to An Yuchen.

An Yuchen stood quietly outside the gate, silently looking at Zhang Yang's back until he disappeared completely

Zhang Yang walked slowly along the street in front of Jiabo Hospital, he was very sympathetic to the situation of An Lao, but he had a feeling of helplessness, and wanted to help An Lao get out of trouble, but he couldn't start, after all, the environment here was too unfamiliar, he was not familiar with everything about An Lao, what he knew was only the kind and kind old man in Chunyang, and he never thought that his Beijing was so complicated and involved in all aspects so far-reaching.

A black Toyota sedan stopped beside Zhang Yang, and a middle-aged man poked his head out of the window and smiled: "Zhang Yang, get in the car!" ”

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there were people in a place like Hong Kong who knew him, but no matter how he looked at this person, he had never seen this person himself, and he didn't have the slightest impression. Zhang Daguan's curiosity has always been strong, and this guy is not afraid of things, but at least vigilance should still be there, he glanced at the middle-aged man: "Do I know you?" ”

The middle-aged man's smile remained unchanged, looking kind and friendly: "You don't know me, but you must know Du Tianye!" I'm his friend! ”

Zhang Yang is wondering, Du Tianye? The matter of coming to Hong Kong by himself is very secret, how could Du Tianye know, this middle-aged man mentioned Du Tianye's name as soon as he came up, and he has something to do with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, could it be that he has been targeted by people since he came to Hong Kong, the more he thought about it, the more likely it is, nodded at the moment, pulled the car door and sat in, there was a young man in the back seat, his facial expression was very cold, and his eyes were extremely unfriendly, Zhang Yang originally wanted to smile with him, but when he saw this dead bird, he was angry, and glanced at him coldly, and said to the middle-aged man, "What's the matter with me?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yang: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Xing Chaohui, director of the Hong Kong Office of the Fourth Bureau of the National Security Bureau, and he is my assistant Chen Jinjian." ”

Zhang Yang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, the National Security Bureau, he had also heard of this unit in the past, it seemed to be related to national security, equivalent to the CIA of the United States, the KGB of the former Soviet Union, he didn't do anything to communicate with foreign countries, and he didn't harm the interests of the country, how could these people find their heads.

Xing Zhaohui saw Zhang Yang's confusion, and said with a smile: "Recently, we have joined forces with the steel side to monitor An Zhiyuan, from the time you entered Jiabo Hospital, we only noticed you, just now we confirmed your identity, knowing that you are the director of the Chunyang Beijing Office, through contact, we can be sure that you came this time to find out An Zhiyuan's tourism development in Qingtai Mountain." ”

Zhang Yang still didn't want to tell them the truth, and said slyly: "Director Criminal, you think too much, I really came to visit An Lao's illness this time, purely out of personal feelings, and I didn't think about other things at all." ”

Xing Zhaohui's smile remained unchanged: "Zhang Yang, we are all members of the Communist Party and state cadres, no matter where we are, the first thing that comes to mind is to safeguard the interests of the country. ”

Zhang Yang looked at Xing Zhaohui, and suddenly said, "Why should I believe you?" ”

Xing Zhaohui nodded, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a call, and then handed the phone to Zhang Yang: "Director Du's phone!" ”

Zhang Yang picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was Du Tianye.

Du Tianye sighed on the other end of the phone: "Zhang Yang, the criminal director, their starting point is good, in order to find out the truth of this matter, I hope you can take a cooperative attitude with them, so that it is possible to help the officials involved in this matter clear of suspicion." ”

Zhang Yang said angrily: "If I say that I just came to Hong Kong to visit An Lao, do you believe it?" ”

Du Tianye groaned for a moment and said in a low voice: "Qin Qing has been shuanggui!" ”

Although he had known that there would be this result, Zhang Yang's heart was still shaken, he nodded, hung up the phone silently, and returned the phone to Xing Zhaohui: "What do you want to know?" ”

"The content of the conversation between you and An Zhiyuan just now!"

Zhang Yang said: "I came to Hong Kong to ask An Lao face to face, whether the money he invested in Qingtai Mountain was black money, and whether he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of this tourism development to launder money as rumored. Xing Zhaohui nodded and said, "What did he say?" ”

"He said that his money was clean, and he was worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth!"

Xing Zhaohui said indifferently: "We communists pay attention to factual evidence, and it doesn't matter what he says. He said to Zhang Yang: "An Zhiyuan has no guard against you, you can easily approach him, I want you to cooperate with our country's action of safe living." ”

Zhang Yang understands, people are engaged in espionage work, this is to let themselves cooperate, he has thought about this matter very thoroughly and very clearly, since the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Security Bureau know that he came to Hong Kong, his actions in Hong Kong must be greatly controlled, after all, he is in the system, everything must be done with national interests in mind, which is directly reflected in the observance of the rules of the system, although Zhang Yang is not a person who likes to be restrained, but if he wants to continue to mix in the officialdom, he has to make some kind of concessions, But Zhang Daguan has never been a person who is willing to be manipulated, what this guy is best at is bargaining, he asked very directly and realistically: "What's that...... What benefits do I get? ”

Xing Zhaohui laughed.

Judging from the flamboyant information he knew, he knew that this guy was not a good type, and the bargaining was also expected by him, Xing Zhaohui said in a low voice: "What benefits do you want?" "He is not a rigid person, and his long-term work in Hong Kong has given him a better grasp of work flexibility than many colleagues in the mainland.

Zhang Yang pursed his lips: "I'm still just a sub-department!" ”

Chen Jinjian on the side showed an extremely disdainful look, which did not escape Zhang Yang's eyes, Zhang Yang was secretly angry in his heart, numb, Lao Tzu wants the official to do your, you dog show me this face, you better not fall into my hands in the future.

Xing Zhaohui replied quite simply: "Zhang Yang, if you can help us successfully complete this investigation mission, I can promise you that you will help you get a department-level position after you return to China, and all the expenses of your visit to Hong Kong this time will be taken care of by our National Security Bureau." ”

Zhang Yang didn't expect him to agree so happily, he immediately regretted it, Zhengke? Damn, this National Security Bureau is awesome, and the official level will be allowed to himself without beating, is the director of the Hong Kong office of the National Security Bureau even more awesome than the mayor? Zhang Daguan immediately sat on the ground and raised the price: "Zhengke? Originally, the organization was going to mention me as a regular department! ”

Although Xing Zhaohui had a smile on his face, he couldn't help but scold in his heart, you can really make it up, think Lao Tzu hasn't read your resume? It's been less than a year since I got into the system, and I don't know what means to rely on to get mixed up, and now you're making an exception for the main department, and you're embarrassed to ask for it again? He doesn't know what Zhang Daguan has done, putting aside the relationship with Vice Premier Wen, just the relationship between Zhang Yang and the Gu family, it is not difficult to mix up a deputy in a short period of time, but Zhang Yang doesn't want to rely on nepotism, since Xing Chaohui has opened this mouth, he has to squeeze a little more benefits, after all, this time he earned it by his ability, Lao Tzu will deal with it for you, you always have to give me a little bit in return. He smiled and said: "This mission is very important to the National Security Bureau, it involves the interests of the country and the people, I will do my best to do it well, so what...... In fact, I don't have any requirements, as a young national cadre, I actively ask for progress, Director Xing, you see that if I do this well, is it possible to be promoted or something! ”

Xing Chaohui knew that this guy wanted the lion to open his mouth, looking at Zhang Yang with a shameless smile, he almost didn't scold, numb, you think it's so easy to be in the right place, and at the age of twenty, who do you think you are? What do you think you're from? But Xing Chaohui also knows that Zhang Yang still has a lot of value for him now, at least for now, he has to give him some temptations, so that he can hang this guy and let him do things for himself.

Xing Chaohui said: "I don't dare to assure you of the main department, but if you perform well and promote you to the deputy department, I am still somewhat sure." Xing Chaohui did not exaggerate, the National Security Bureau is different from other departments, the Fourth Bureau of the National Security Bureau, responsible for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan affairs, and as the owner of the Hong Kong office, his rights are second only to the director of the Fourth National Security Bureau, and it is the task with the highest voice to become the next director, and he is also one of the real power figures of the National Security Bureau.

Since Zhang Yang has a bargaining mind, he is already very satisfied with the result of this deputy department, and he became a deputy department at the age of twenty, which is not common in the entire Pinghai, and Zhang Yang understands the truth of greed and lack of snake swallowing elephants, and now it should be time to accept it when he sees it, he nodded and said: "Director Xing, you just said that my trip is considered a tolerance?" ”

Xing Zhaohui smiled and said, "Of course it's tolerance!" By the way, keep the bills for your expenses, and our National Security Bureau will be responsible for reimbursement! ”

Hearing Xing Chaohui's words, Zhang Yang began to feel that it was not a bad thing to be approached by the National Security Bureau, since people showed such sincerity, he had to repay him with peach, Zhang Yang revealed a message to Xing Chaohui, An Zhiyuan will be discharged from the hospital soon, and he will be swaggering

Birthday feast. After all, this matter will soon be known, and he is not betraying his interests, besides, the National Security Bureau is also to find out the source of An Zhiyuan's funds, and to find out the real purpose of his investment in the opening up of tourism in Qingtai Mountain, whether there is any money laundering phenomenon, Zhang Yang came to Hong Kong alone, originally with a momentary righteousness, but he is unknown, and the appearance of the National Security Bureau made him find an organization in a daze, at least the waist is much tougher than in the past, and now he can do things under the banner of safeguarding national interests.

Xing Zhaohui nodded: "Very good!" He took out a mobile phone and handed it to Zhang Yang: "This is the mobile phone we have prepared for you!" ”

"I have one!"

Xing Zhaohui smiled: "You're not afraid of being monitored? Being tracked? We have one-line contact on this mobile phone, and I will contact you soon! ”

At the corner of the street, Xing Zhaohui stopped the car, Zhang Yang pushed the door and walked down.

Chen Jinjian looked at Zhang Yang's back, and his voice was gloomy: "Director, do you really trust him?" ”

Xing Zhaohui said with a smile: "Our party's policy is to use people without suspicion, there should be no problem with the people that Du Tianye admires, I have seen this kid's resume, and he should have some ability!" The most rare thing is that he is very close to the An family, and An Zhiyuan is not wary of him! ”

"Director, he has not undergone any training at all, and it is not possible to destroy the entire operation plan by bringing such a new hand into our team."

"Hong Kong's cooperation with us is superficial, they are perfunctory to us, if you want to know the real details of this matter, you have to break into the inside of the An family, although Jiuqi has not arrived, but Hong Kong has always been a part of our motherland, and her peace is extremely important to us. An Zhiyuan is a big tiger, although he is old, it seems as if he is asleep, don't forget, he has always been a tiger, the tiger is old and majestic, once he wakes up, this land will face an unprecedented shock. Our task is not to provoke disputes, but to make crises invisible before they occur! ”

Zhang Yang just returned to the hotel, he received a call from Qiu Maocheng, Qiu Maocheng booked a seat in Xintongle tonight, invited him to come over for dinner, and helped him pick up the wind and wash the dust by the way, Zhang Yang had nothing to do anyway, and happily agreed to Qiu Maocheng's invitation, Qiu Maocheng wanted to come and pick him up, Zhang Yang declined his kindness, he decided to take a taxi by himself, and browse the scenery of Hong Kong by the way.

Just walked out of the door of the Furama Hotel. A gray Land Rover drove towards him and stopped steadily beside him, An Yuchen was sitting in the car, her face was still as pale as when Zhang Yang saw her, and it could be seen that her mood was very low, and her physical condition was not very good: "Best strategy!" ”

Zhang Yang pulled the car door and sat up, because of the rule of driving on the left side of the vehicle in Hong Kong, the co-driver was on the right, which made Zhang Yang a little uncomfortable, he looked at An Yuchen: "Girl, what's wrong?" Who bullied you? Tell Master, I'll help you beat him! ”

An Yuchen sighed, her fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel: "I'll invite you to drink!" ”

Zhang Yang remembered that he had already agreed to Qiu Yueru's invitation, and said in a low voice: "Or I'll invite you." In the evening I promised a friend to go together? ”

"Forget it, I'll send you over!"

Looking at An Yuchen's lonely face, Zhang Yang suddenly had an indescribable sympathy in his heart, this girl was not this kind of character in the past, it seems that her father was arrested, which hit her very hard, the real purpose of her coming to invite herself to drink is to find someone to talk to, pour out the depression accumulated in her heart for many days, Zhang Yang smiled: "I didn't want to go over there, I still pushed it!" After he finished speaking, he made a phone call to Qiu Yueru and turned down the dinner that night.

An Yuchen saw that Zhang Yang pushed off the dinner without thinking about it, and her heart was still a little moved, although the two of them had constant conflicts in Chunyang in the past, but unconsciously she had regarded Zhang Yang as her good friend, since her father was controlled by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, An Yuchen's mood began to become extremely depressed, her relatives around her were busy because of the sudden change in the An family, she had few friends, and there were no friends to talk to, which made her feel extremely lonely during this time, When she saw Zhang Yang, she felt a long-lost warmth.

An Yuchen handed the invitation to Zhang Yang, and then took him to Sai Kung, located in the eastern New Territories, Sai Kung's streets are narrow and maze-like, which retains a strong old style, and the market street on the coastline can be seen rows of live fish shops like aquariums, with huge colorful lobsters, crabs, shells, fish, and the seafood stalls here are also the most famous in Hong Kong.

The two of them sat down at the Mingji seafood stall, An Yuchen ordered a few dishes of seafood, she knew that Zhang Yang didn't like to drink foreign wine, so Chelit brought two bottles of Moutai. Zhang Yang opened a bottle of Moutai and poured himself a full glass, but did not pour wine for An Yuchen, and said with a smile: "You drive, or drink!" ”

"I want to drink!" An Yuchen was very stubborn, grabbed the wine bottle in Zhang Yang's hand, and filled himself with a glass.

Zhang Yang knew that she was in a bad mood, and he didn't stop her, he was ready to wait for her to drink more and send her home, raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our reunion after a long absence!" ”

An Yuchen touched the wine glass with him, and actually raised his snow-white neck and drank the whole glass, Zhang Daguan was stunned, he just said, but he didn't expect her to really dry this glass of wine, Zhang Yang saw it, tonight this An Xiaodemon came with the purpose of getting herself drunk, Zhang Yang also drank this glass of wine, seeing that An Yuchen filled the wine glass for himself, and said seriously: "Little demon, this is not like that, it is used to help fun, not to pour sorrow, borrowing wine to pour sorrow is even more sorrowful, what is wrong with you talk to me." After all, I am your master! ”

An Yuchen reluctantly showed a smile and said: "Master, you eat vegetables, come all the way to Hong Kong, I entertain you at the food stall, will you think I am insincere?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Little demon, you know, I'm just a turtle, if you really invite me to that kind of high-end place, I will feel uncomfortable." How good it is here, the air is fresh, the people are boiling, no one pays attention to anyone, there is no need to worry about so many etiquette and manners, you can drink heartily, you can indulge in laughter, this is called life, this is called truth! ”

The flamboyant roughness made An Yuchen feel refreshed from the heart, and she finally laughed heartily: "Master, I like the tone of your voice the most, although you are a bit of a scoundrel, but you are much better than those hypocrites!" After being depressed for so many days, after seeing Zhang Yang, her mood finally improved.

", you actually compare a hypocrite with me and insult my personality!" Zhang Yang took a sip of half a glass of wine, and found that a blonde and blue-eyed exotic girl at the table was throwing flattering eyes at him, this guy never lost his demeanor in front of women, and smiled politely back at others, and the expression on the foreign girl's face became more and more charming.

An Yuchen found something strange from Zhang Yang's expression, she turned around and saw the cattle behind her, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her eyes were round, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Death Sanba, what do you see, believe it or not, I will kill you!" As soon as the words came out, the four were shocked, and the foreign girl was so frightened that she quickly blew her head down, and threw away the idea of seducing Zhang Yang.

Zhang Daguan was a little embarrassed by the strange eyes around him, and coughed dryly: "What's that...... Can't you be a lady? ”

"Zhang Yang, that's a prostitute, you look at her eyebrows, be careful of acne! No, be careful of AIDS, your little fur medicine may not be able to save you! An Yuchen Zhenzhen said.

"Damn, can you accumulate some virtue? I just took a look, our China is a country of etiquette, foreign friends smile at me, I always have to show our great country demeanor with courtesy, right? I said, "Why do you care about me?" I am your master, you are my apprentice, how can there be an apprentice to manage the master? Zhang Daguan said indignantly.

An Yuchen said: "You know the dignity of the teacher, you should also know how to be a teacher, right?" How can a womanizer like you be qualified to be my master! ”

"Hairke! Do you think I want to be your master? Last time, if you hadn't begged me for nothing, I would have been happy not to be your master! ”
