The whole thing doesn't seem to be as simple as I thought, after years of experience of swords and swords, I seem to smell some hidden conspiracy, not only the Haotian family has problems, but also those financiers. But I didn't find a breakthrough, and I didn't want to get involved in their deeper conspiracy, so I returned to Shanghai after rescuing my mother, and I didn't bother to care about this mess.

Now the clue is broken, but it doesn't mean that I don't have any other breakthroughs, and a thought suddenly popped into my head while I was smoking, Jiang Shan kidnapped my mother on behalf of the Haotian family, and I can use this guy's body as a breakthrough! There may be unexpected gains!

Of course, Jiang Shan also disappeared with the kidnapping of the Haotian family, but it was easier to check him than the Haotian family. This man's family history is basically tied to my mother, and I heard the story between them from the mouth of the female bigwig.

"Jiang Shan? Do you want to know about him? The woman asked, holding a wine glass.

"Of course, you should have told me a long time ago, after all, he was a key member of this kidnapping." I spoke.

The female boss nodded and said, "Yes, then I'll tell you about it." Jiang Shan is different from your mother, he is from Hong Kong, and if you count up, the old people of their family came to Hong Kong at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, life is not satisfactory, just like in the Republic of China, although everyone said that Shanghai could make a fortune, Shanghai is full of gold, but in fact, more people can't even eat. His ancestors carried large bags at the Hong Kong dock and also joined gangs, but they didn't mix well. By the time of his generation, he still didn't have much money, and he lived in a small house, so much so that he had to borrow money to go to high school after he finished junior high school. But Jiang Shan can be said to have changed the fate of this family, he finished college by work-study after graduating from high school, and after graduation, he worked in a foreign trade company through the relationship of a senior in college, and spent two years to pay off his family's debts. Then he quit his job and started looking for opportunities, and that's when he met your mother. ”

This seems to fit in terms of age, he looks much younger than my mother when I last saw him.

"He studied law in college and successfully obtained a lawyer's license, but it doesn't mean that he can make money with this license. Before meeting your mother, this license was just a piece of paper. After meeting your mother, they started a partnership, and your mother had accumulated a small fortune and started a small company of less than ten people, but it cost a lot of money to hire a lawyer in Hong Kong, both then and now. At this time, Jiang Shanmao, who was aiming at the opportunity, recommended himself, used his lawyer's license as a bargaining chip, invested in the company, and became your mother's right and left hand. I have to say that he is still very capable, he can basically handle legal matters, and the company's operation is gradually on track, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Externally, he has always regarded himself as your mother's legal counsel, but in fact he is the second-in-command of your mother's company, and he even has the final say on many projects. The cooperation between the two has always been very pleasant, and your mother has not given him any less money, and the most glorious time for the two of them should be when the fifty-story building was built. I also went to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and after the ceremony, a few of my friends were standing on the top of the tall building and looking out, even if it wasn't the tallest building in Hong Kong. What I saw in your mother's eyes at that moment was pride, and in his eyes was greater ambition. Sure enough, after the glorious moment, the disagreement between the two began. Your mother feels that the company should continue to grow along the current route, but he thinks it should be ready to go public as soon as possible. Listing is indeed a good way, but there is no doubt that it is the boss's pocket that is full of the listing, and it is the money of retail investors that is hollowed out. Your mother felt that the time had not yet come, and she kept refusing to agree, and the analysis of the two people grew bigger and bigger, and finally a fierce conflict broke out. In that quarrel, Jiang Shan said cruel things, he said that if it weren't for him, your mother would still be running the poor ten-person company in the dim small building today, and he was the one who single-handedly created today's business empire. And he wanted to get back everything that belonged to him, and the two began to fight openly and secretly. But it turns out that he is no match for your mother. Your mother may not be as professional as he is, and she may not be as financially savvy as he is, but your mother has the advantage of having more friends. The bosses of the vote, including me, are standing behind your mother, Jiang Shan can't afford the wind and waves, and finally admits it, but he has planted a bane. After that, the Haotian family and kidnapping happened, and it was funny that this man's ambition was realized in this way. ”

Starting a business is difficult, not as simple as a hundred minutes in the movie, anyone who starts a business needs to pay a lot of energy, endure pain and exclusion, after all, the top of the gold tower is so little place, only enough for one person to stand.

"Then do you know where Jiang Shan's house is? Or does he have any friends or family? I asked.

"He wasn't married, but he had a few children, but they were sent abroad. If you talk about his family, he has an old house in Kowloon Tong, and maybe someone lives in it. The female boss also talked about Kowloon Tong, which coincided with what the dead silver snake said before he died! I thought there was a play, so I secretly wrote it down in my heart, and when I said thank you and was about to go back to my room to sleep, the female boss said, "Have you thought about it?" If you are not willing to inherit your mother's business, who will she leave it to? ”

I didn't answer, waved my hand and went back to the house.

I went out early the next morning, and went to the old house in Kowloon Tong according to the address provided by the female boss, and now this place has changed, but Jiang Shan is rich after all, and the old house is relatively well preserved. After the car stopped, I walked to the old house and looked inside, it seemed that no one lived in it, it was relatively empty, and it was not very popular. I thought they were going to hide my mother inside, but now it seems that I was overthinking.

"Nobody......" was a little disappointed, and when he was about to leave, an old man came across the street, wearing a wool vest with a chickenheart collar, walking on crutches, and carrying a bag of vegetables in his hand. I didn't care, I raised my feet to leave, but I saw him walking in my direction while touching the key, and my heart suddenly moved, can't this old man live here?

Sure enough, he walked to the door and opened the door while taking out the key, as if his eyes were not good, and he was too old to notice my presence at all. When I opened the door, I couldn't help but say, "Hello. ”

Only then did he realize my presence, looked up at me in some surprise, and then asked me in Cantonese, I did not understand and hurriedly waved to the driver, and he immediately ran over to act as an interpreter. After asking, I learned that this person was Jiang Shan's old uncle, Jiang Shan's father's younger brother, and he was eighty years old. I lied that I was a friend of Jiang Shan, and he invited me into the house.

The interior of the old house also has the feeling of an old-fashioned Hong Konger, but I was a little surprised that I didn't see the maid. Why didn't Jiang Shan, who is so rich, hire a servant for his uncle, he is already in his eighties, and no one will know if something happens and he dies.

He put down the dish and poured us tea tremblingly, sat down and spoke, and the driver translated: "He said that Jiang Shan had only come back recently, just the night before yesterday." Leave some money and go. ”

As soon as I heard this, I felt that there was a door, and immediately asked, "Do you know where to go?" ”

The old man shook his head, and I asked a few more questions, but the old man didn't know anything. I was a little disappointed, I stood up and was about to say goodbye, but my eyes saw a photo hanging on the wall, the photo was an old black and white photo, or a group photo of many people, but the face of one of them seemed to be familiar to me, so I walked over to take a closer look, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.

The photo is a group photo of five men, a man who has a three-to-four resemblance to Jiang Shan is standing in the middle, hooking the shoulders of a man next to him, looking very good.

"This person is Jiang Shan's father, who was a soldier in the early years, and this is a photo with his comrades." The driver next to him immediately translated.

I stared at the person in the photo hooked by Jiang Shan's father in a daze, and only after a while did I speak: "Is there really such a coincidence?" ”
