Chapter 719 - 709: Exposed?
"The Xu Family has been constantly threatening us to release their people, but there are always journalists and curious onlookers at our doorstep, so we don’t even dare to release them secretly.""Foolish!" A slap harshly landed on the face of the responsible person. Director Zhang looked at the person coldly, tossing the documents onto the table, and pointed at them. "You can’t even decipher these! Why do we need you as the responsible person?"
"Look closely. The reason these clues leaked out is because you met with the Xu Family!" Director Zhang yelled.
The responsible person was stunned, hastily examined the documents, and realized that every time the Xu Family demanded the release of Xu Liren and their people, the leaks occurred.
"Director... this..."
"Why are you looking at me!" Director Zhang glared, "This is a warning to you. I am watching you! As long as you show a hint of favoritism, or make wrong decisions out of fear of offending the Xu Family, he will mercilessly reveal everything!"
"When that happens, don’t even think about continuing your work!"
The responsible person’s face turned sour instantly, "But if I offend the Xu Family, I won’t be able to continue working anyway..."
Director Zhang looked at the responsible person with frustration and coldly said, "From today on, you’re on leave, Wei Ming."
"Director." A young man approached Director Zhang, "Since they are scared, you should handle it. You aren’t afraid, right?"
Wei Ming looked up at Director Zhang, suddenly curled his lips, "Absolutely not."
"Good!" Director Zhang gazed appreciatively at Wei Ming, "Now tell me your thoughts."
Wei Ming looked at the evidence and pondered for a moment, "I think that the only group in Qing City daring enough to threaten the police and oppose the Xu Family is the new underground kingpin, Nine Pavilion."
"You mean Nine Pavilion?" Recalling how his plan was seen through by the Pavilion Master of Nine Pavilion, and receiving just a taunting ’Director, your heart is not sincere’ in return, Director Zhang felt displeased.
"Yes, it’s Nine Pavilion." Wei Ming nodded, slowly analyzing, "Nine Pavilion is currently Qing City’s most mysterious gang and the new underground powerhouse, making waves in Qing City’s underworld."
"But Nine Pavilion acts discreetly, their members never flaunt their actions. Their bars even reject drugs and gambling. If someone brings these into their bar, they punish them without hesitation."
"Nine Pavilion has three leaders: Nine Wraith and Nine Mad, both second in command, and Zhan Jiu, the Pavilion Master."
"These three are extremely mysterious. Whenever they appear in public or private events, they always wear masks. Nine Wraith’s mask is a silver-faced hungry wolf, Nine Mad’s mask is a silver-faced greedy tiger, and Zhan Jiu’s mask is a simple golden half-mask with intricate patterns around the eyes."
"But it’s certain that the three of them are quite young, younger than us."
"What!" Director Zhang immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only Wei Ming, "Ming, explain clearly."
After everyone left, Wei Ming sat directly on the conference table. Director Zhang didn’t mind and urged him to continue.
Wei Ming raised his hand and continued, "So, if Nine Pavilion is really behind this, their actions targeted the Xu Family directly, and it seems they anticipated the Xu Family using connections to threaten."
"So, thinking back, with the height comparison provided by informed sources among the three Pavilion members, and those having grievances with the Xu Family, I can think of only one person."
