Chapter 20 The Path of the Strong
At the entrance of Wolongtang Village, a car was parked. A Third Grade Inspector was leaning against the front hood. He was squinting at the end of the road. It was Dai Xiaolou .
He really came.
The two of them had the same idea.
Gu Tianyou slowly walked towards Dai Xiaolou . From his gaze contact, he could tell that the Third Grade Lieutenant had come with bad intentions.
He pretended to be ignorant, as if he hadn\'t seen her, and brushed past her.
"Wait a moment, please." The moment the two of them crossed paths, Dai Xiaolou \'s eyes lit up and he almost instinctively stopped them.
Gu Tianyou paused and turned to look at him. "What? Is there anything wrong with the police officer?"
Dai Xiaolou was puzzled, but Gu Tianyou was much younger than he had imagined. The doubt brought by Jinghong\'s glance was not enough to support a formal inquiry. If it wasn\'t for the deputy captain reminding him that this youth was a little suspicious, he wouldn\'t have stayed here on impulse to wait for Gu Tianyou. Although he was speechless due to lack of preparation, he was still an experienced criminal policeman. After pausing for a moment, he immediately looked at Gu Tianyou with a serious expression. "You just came from the Flying Tiger Ridge Village?" He asked.
Gu Tianyou looked at him with a smile and replied, "Yes." He was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was calm, especially his rare smile was warm and warm, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.
Dai Xiaolou muttered in his heart, could this sunny youth really be the criminal genius behind the Flying Tiger Ridge Village? Could it be that he was too sensitive? His gaze softened a little, and his tone wasn\'t that harsh. He then asked, "Do you know Yang Wenshan well?"
Gu Tianyou nodded and said calmly, "Director Yang and I are relatives. We don\'t live far away, so we often walk around."
Dai Xiaolou frowned slightly. Why was this kid so calm? A child as old as him should be more or less restrained or frightened when faced with the interrogation of a police officer who appeared out of nowhere, right? Even if he didn\'t do anything wrong and wasn\'t afraid of the Ghost Scream Sect, his performance was still too calm.
Dai Xiaolou asked, "What\'s your name?"
The answer he got was, "Officer Dai, are you really free?"
Dai Xiaolou was stunned.
Gu Tianyou\'s eyes were sharper than his. Look at him. "If you\'re really free, I suggest you go for a stroll at the station, There were a few Xijiang people there all year round who brought their children to beg for food, "Those children are disabled. They kneel there helplessly and are eager to return to their parents. They are all people who really need your help. Yang Wenshan and I are just two law-abiding taxpayers. You have time to keep an eye on us. Why can\'t you spare some time to pay attention to them?"
The sudden questioning made Dai Xiaolou speechless and stunned. The 44-year-old middle-aged criminal police and Dai Xiaolou, who had been dealing with criminals for more than 20 years, were speechless in front of the suspects for the first time.
Gu Tianyou\'s words struck him like a cold whip in the heart, "A begging child was crippled and knelt there. What is he stating? If I had the right in your hands, I would never tolerate such a thing happening in my own jurisdiction." Hehe sneered, "Investigating the Flying Tiger Ridge Village case consumed a lot of police force, didn\'t it?"
Dai Xiaolou was a police officer with a conscience, so he felt even more embarrassed because of his conscience. The case on the Flying Tiger Ridge was urged by the higher-ups, not from his original intention. With limited police resources, what he had always wanted to do the most was to handle a large-scale kidnapping case. His expression was like iron, but he didn\'t want to look at Gu Tianyou again. He said in a formulaic tone, "You haven\'t told me your name yet. It\'s the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police."
"You and I both know why your superiors have found Flying Tiger Ridge Village several times." Gu Tianyou still refused to cooperate with his question and changed the topic. "You and I both know how those children were handicapped. There are more than a dozen such children in Flying Tiger Ridge Village who have no parents to claim them. Do you want to know their names?"
On the surface, Dai Xiaolou was unmoved, but his heart was already in turmoil. He silently revealed the handcuffs on his waist and stared at Gu Tianyou with his eyes shining.
Miao Shifan was a conspiracy theorist. He had a phrase he had heard from somewhere, but it was often said, "Quantity is justice!" However, in God\'s eyes, the silence or outburst of the majority does not represent a just choice. People like to follow the strong. The path of the strong is the path of righteousness in the world.
The righteous path in the mortal world was a long one, so it was naturally difficult to walk along the long road. Sometimes, it would be difficult to distinguish between black and white. Throughout history, only a handful of people have walked out of this path. Gu Tianyou believed that it was precisely this small number of people who decided on the number of positions.
Gu Tianyou was already twenty years old. From the moment he walked into the Flying Tiger Ridge Village with Gu Yufei \'s three million yuan left in the Gu Clan\'s old mansion, he had made up his mind to become one of the very few people. In the past four years, from the fake cigarette and alcohol business that spread throughout the province and beyond, to working with the largest gambling and soccer conglomerate in Southeast Asia, the goal of running the biggest gambling and soccer company in the country had always been clear.
Now, relying on the shortcut and a little bit of luck, the target finally seemed to have a little shadow.
Today\'s encounter was no accident from beginning to end. In fact, from the village entrance to Dai Xiaolou \'s appearance, until they met here, every single link was the result of Gu Tianyou\'s ingenious arrangements.
Facing the handcuffs Dai Xiaolou took out.
"I\'m telling you this because I know you\'re a good cop." Gu Tianyou looked at the familiar pair of metal rings and smiled contemptuously, "If you can promise me to get busy and stay away from the Flying Tiger Ridge Village, I can promise you to fulfill the wishes of those great figures behind the scenes who forced you to investigate this case and end everything on the Flying Tiger Ridge." "Don\'t use this to scare me. The procedure for arresting people is not like this. Before you abuse your power, you must know who you are targeting." He smiled slightly and said, "Don\'t use this to scare me."
"Looks like the expert behind Yang Wenshan is really you."
Dai Xiaolou slowly withdrew the handcuffs. He was surprised and felt that it was not unexpected. He looked at Gu Tianyou carefully and said after a long time, "You know who I am, but I still don\'t know your name. This is not fair."
"I\'m Gu Tianyou from Wolongtang Village." Gu Tianyou stretched out his hand as he said this.
Dai Xiaolou held onto the hand and said with some suspicion and probing tone, "Can you really shut down the Flying Tiger Ridge Village\'s counterfeiting and trafficking dens?"
Gu Tianyou said expressionlessly, "I don\'t know what you mean by making and selling fakes, but I\'ve already told you that I can satisfy those who are relentlessly pursuing this case. I can even provide you with information to help you catch those unscrupulous traffickers who kidnap and sell children."
"Why did you suddenly decide to stand on the stage? I\'ve been looking for the expert behind Yang Wenshan for the past two years." Dai Xiaolou simply cut to the chase and said, "I always thought that my opponent was a cunning old criminal, but I never thought that he would be such a young man."
"Because I\'ve decided to change my ways." Gu Tianyou gave a seemingly clear but actually ambiguous answer. His words were still watertight.
"So you admit that you have committed a crime?" Dai Xiaolou mistakenly thought that he had grasped the flaw in Gu Tianyou\'s words.
"I only admit that I am a child who has made mistakes. As for what kind of mistakes it is, I have the right to say it." Gu Tianyou played a crafty word game, but it was still watertight.
Dai Xiaolou stared at the young and mature Gu Tianyou. He suddenly realized that this person was cautious and shrewd. He hadn\'t revealed himself for two years. The scene at the entrance of the village was clearly done on purpose.
"Did you deliberately appear at the entrance of the village at that time?"
Gu Tianyou confessed, "I heard that Captain Dai is an upright man. He is a hero. I like to make friends with heroes."
Dai Xiaolou was unwilling, "Actually, I really want to know how you know about our operation."
He still wanted to use Heaven\'s Blessing words.
Gu Tianyou replied sophisticatedly, "I don\'t quite understand what you\'re saying. I only know that everyone has a price." "Some prices are based on money, while others are based on righteousness and kindness. I want to ask you what the price is."
"You want to bribe me? Why?" Dai Xiaolou raised his voice and said in a bad tone. But in fact, he was a bit cowardly, because he was already very sure that he could not catch the young man\'s hands on him. Moreover, he was already touched by the youth\'s words.
Killing and fighting, attacking the heart first. Gu Tianyou had been preparing for this encounter for a long time. From a friend of the Qinzhou Municipal Bureau, he learned that Dai Xiaolou had been investigating a large-scale human trafficking case for the past few years. However, his superiors ordered him to keep an eye on Flying Tiger Ridge Village. The two cases had already become Dai Xiaolou\'s knot. Gu Tianyou intends to help him untie this knot in exchange for letting him use it for me.
"Because you are so expensive that even money can\'t buy you. People like you are priceless treasures in this era. I have already decided to wash my hands in a golden basin. Next, I will make a big plan. One of the links must be yours." Gu Tianyou suddenly became sharp, and every word was heart-piercing.
"These words of yours are enough for me to bring you back for questioning." Dai Xiaolou was a bit bluffing, but if Gu Tianyou didn\'t handle it well, this sentence could come true at any time.
Gu Tianyou said calmly and confidently, "You will be interested in what I want you to do." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Because that concerns the recovery of four billion people\'s livelihood, the survival of dozens of village-run enterprises in Wolongtang, and the livelihood of thousands of employees in these enterprises. If you are willing to help me, I will help you dig out the roots of that human trafficking group."
"What do you need me to do?" Dai Xiaolou was even more moved.
"I want you to help me trace a person. His name is You Beiwang . He has a cat path. You\'ve worked in this industry for more than 20 years, and you have a lot of connections in and out of the province. Seeking such an escaping stolen official is your specialty. Rats have rats. It\'s more convenient for me to deal with those traffickers than you. Find him out and I\'ll give you what you want."
"Why this person?"
Dai Xiaolou had also heard a little about You Beiwang \'s case. Although economic crimes weren\'t within his scope of responsibility, because You Beiwang \'s case was too big, there were too many rumors in the bureau. Being at Dai Xiaolou\'s level, he naturally heard some inside information.
About five years ago, Yutai Group\'s Xinfeng Machinery Factory and Japan\'s Yamai Heavy Industries launched a joint venture that secured a $4 billion loan from state-owned banks, backed by Wolongtang Group. Just as the cooperation was successful and the project was about to start, You Beiwang , then the general manager of Yutai Group, suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the four billion yuan was also missing.
Because of this, Qinzhou City\'s star enterprise Yutai Group is deeply trapped in the quagmire of bankruptcy liquidation, Wolongtang also owes a huge debt. To repay the loan, two of the most important production lines for motorcycles and electric vehicles in the Wolongtang industrial complex are to be auctioned off by banks to Japanese companies.
"You don\'t need to know why I want this person. Please help me find him. If you help me, I will give you what you want."
