Chapter 805: Go and Take a Look
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
For three days in a row, w.a.n.g Yao worked in the clinic in the morning and planted trees on the hill with Zhong Liuchuan in the afternoon. Soon, a small forest began to take shape.
Around 3 p.m., a guest came to visit w.a.n.g Yao. It was Sun Yunsheng. He had brought along Hao.
“h.e.l.lo, have a seat,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
Zhong Liuchuan brewed them a pot of tea.
“Thank you,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“What can I do for you?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“There is one thing,” Sun Yunsheng said. “Were you investigating something when you went to Dao last time?”
w.a.n.g Yao hadn’t notified them in advance during his last visit or communicated with the Sun family. Considering the family’s recent discovery, he was curious if w.a.n.g Yao knew anything.
“Indeed, I was investigating something,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Why do you ask?”
“It’s like this, Sir, we recently discovered that a company in Dao, Sihai Trading Company, is working with the Dongying people ostensibly for the trade of drugs and health care products but actually for the trade of human organs,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“What?” w.a.n.g Yao was stunned. “Human organs?”
“Yes, their company sells the organs of our country’s people to Dongying people,” Sun Yunsheng replied. “The victims were mainly vagrants, beggars, and migrant workers.”
Before he arrived, Sun Yunsheng was worried about a possible relations.h.i.+p between the company and w.a.n.g Yao. Although that possibility was very small, he still wanted to confirm the matter.
“Shouldn’t the relevant departments immediately intervene in the investigation?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“They’ve stepped in, Sir,” Sun Yunsheng said. “Do you know the company?”
“I went there last time because of that company, but I was looking for someone within the organization,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Was it their chairman, Zhang Wei?” Sun Yunsheng asked.
“Yes,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Was that explosion caused by you?” Sun Yunsheng instantly connected all the dots.
“It was because of me,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile. “To be exact, it should’ve been a trap.”
“That’s good.” Sun Yunsheng was a little relieved. In that case, their next action could be continued. “Sir, please continue with your busy schedule. We have something else to do, so we’ll go back now.”
“Do you want to stay for dinner?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“No, we have plans,” Sun Yunsheng replied. “Let’s go.”
w.a.n.g Yao walked the two men out of the clinic. Two high-end cars were parked outside to the west of it.
When he returned inside, he said, “There are many matters in the company you used to work for. They are selling human organs and have relations with Dongying!”
“I knew he was in contact with Dongying’s Junichiro Musas.h.i.+, but I didn’t know that they were doing those kinds of things in the dark,” Zhong Liuchuan replied. “In theory, the business should be profitable. There should be no need to engage in those things!”
“Some people feel there is never enough money,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Sir, I’d like to go to Dao for a few days,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“Are you going because of past matters?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Yes, I want to go take a look,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“Alright, that’s probably a good idea,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Tell me before you leave. I’ll prepare something for you.”
Zhong Liuchuan returned home to prepare. That night, he went to see w.a.n.g Yao.
“I will go to Dao tomorrow, Sir,” he said.
“OK, take this.” w.a.n.g Yao gave him a small box that was one-third the size of a matchbox.
“What is this?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
“It is ointment for continuing life, which can be used in times of need, and a prolongation pill,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “In a critical moment, it can help you avoid death and prolong life.”
“Thank you, Sir!” Zhong Liuchuan took the small box. From w.a.n.g Yao’s att.i.tude, he could tell the value of the two medicines.
“If you have any difficulties, you can find the Sun family in Dao,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “This is their contact information. They are very influential there.”
“Got it, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
During this visit, he was just going to take a look. He was not intending to fight with them.
The next morning, Zhong Liuchuan got on the bus to Dao. He arrived at about 11:00 a.m. Dao was a place with which he had once been very familiar.
Sihai Trading Company’s business had not been so good lately. The police had just conducted a range of investigations and taken away several people who were key to the company’s success. Based on recent happenings, it would be illogical if their business was good.
Zhong Liuchuan went to a cafe and asked for a cup of coffee. He sat quietly as the afternoon pa.s.sed by. He thought, It is indeed a lot emptier.
That night, in a small, mediocre restaurant, he was meeting someone.
“Why are you back?” a man asked.
“Why can’t I come back?” Zhong Liuchuan replied with a smile. “The company is very empty.
“Of course, it’s empty,” the man said. “The chairman hasn’t appeared for nearly a month. I don’t know whether he is still alive. A few days ago, some people were taken away by the police. They are suspected of committing a felony. Everyone’s in danger now. How many people in our company are clean?”
“Yet, you’re still here,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“There are still thousands of dollars a month,” the man said.
“Where is President Zhang?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
“Near the reef,” the man said.
“Do you know who has been in contact with him?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
The man took a sip of wine and said, “That’s tough to determine!”
Zhong Liuchuan didn’t speak. He carefully stared at the man sitting opposite him for a long time.
“What’s the matter?” the man asked.
“Is it necessary to wear a mask when meeting me?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
“Ah, occupational habits, occupational habits,” the man replied. “How is Anxin?”
“Very well, she has recovered from her illness,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
The person sitting opposite him was a friend from the company. Since he had once saved the man’s life during a mission, a friends.h.i.+p had formed. However, the meeting between the two people was very cautious because the nature of the company was so unique.
“That’s good,” the man said. “You shouldn’t have come back.”
“I didn’t want to come back, but the people in the company are still finding me,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “There have already been several waves of people. I have to make a clean cut.”
“The boss won’t show up for the time being,” the man said.
“He will sooner or later,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“What is the purpose of this visit?” the man asked.
“To look around,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.
“Is that it?” The man seemed suspicious of the answer.
“It’s that simple,” Zhong Liuchuan said.
“That’s good,” the man said. “Let’s drink.”
The two of them drank a bottle of wine and talked for more than an hour.
When he had finished his drink, the man took a bite of a foot and turned away to leave. He said, “I’m leaving. I have to get to bed early. Otherwise, it’s not good for my skin.”
“Just like old times!” Zhong Liuchuan drank the rest of the wine alone.
He moved to where the man had sat. There was a note on the table with a phone number.
…
In a villa somewhere in Dao…
“You have to find a way,” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ said.
“What way?” Zhang Wei asked.
“Our voices have been suppressed,” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ said with dissatisfaction. “Why did the Sun family suddenly make a move?”
“How would I know?” asked Zhang Wei, who was wearing a baseball cap. “They always need to report to me when they do things!”
“It must be that your people are not doing well and have exposed the dirty business between us,” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ said.
“That is possible.” Zhang Wei said.
“Why are you so calm?” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ asked.
“What can I do if I don’t calm down?” Zhang Wei asked. “If I come out at this time, aren’t I just asking for the police to catch me?”
“What about our business?” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ asked.
“We have to let it go for now,” Zhang Wei said. “Let’s give it some time. We’re not in a hurry.”
“You can wait, but the people behind me can’t wait,” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ said.
The man in the baseball cap suddenly turned to look at the man next to him. “I said wait, so we wait!” His tone was cold as a blade.
“Alright!” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ took a deep breath.
“Also, don’t come to me if you have nothing important,” Zhang Wei said. “I want to leave Dao for a while.”
“Got it,” Jiro Musas.h.i.+ said. “I’ll call you if I have anything.”
The next morning, somewhere by the sea in Dao, Zhong Liuchuan and Jia Zizai met up.
“When did you arrive?” Jia Zizai asked.
“Yesterday morning,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.
“Hmm… Your temperament has changed since you began following Sir,” Jia Zizai said with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
It had only been a short time since they had last seen each other, but he seemed to have changed into another person.
“Where is President Zhang?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
“Near the reef,” Jia Zizai replied.
“Are you certain of that?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.
