After all these things were discussed, it was already dark outside. Xie Wendong looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Everyone can rest now!"

  After hearing what Xie Wendong said, everyone stood up and stretched their numb waists. Suddenly, they felt hungry again, and then they remembered that they had not eaten for a day. In the past few days, everyone was anxious and flustered. No one had the heart to eat, and they just ate a few bites when they were hungry. Now that Xie Wendong has returned safely, their originally anxious hearts have settled down, and their appetites have been opened accordingly.

  Xie Wendong noticed that everyone had lost weight, and half-jokingly said, "Let's go out for dinner tonight. It would be best if we could book a restaurant and have all the brothers come out to get together."

  "That's no problem, leave it to me!" Li Shuang smiled with his mouth wide open when he heard about eating.

  At ten o'clock in the evening, a slight chilly wind blew and few pedestrians were seen on the road.

  Xie Wendong, Jiang Sen and Sanyan walked out of the hotel. The cold wind outside made the three of them feel refreshed. Screams and laughter were heard from time to time in the hotel. The brothers in Wendong Club hadn't had such a large-scale gathering for a long time. In addition, the depressed mood of the past few days was swept away with Xie Wendong's safe return. Everyone drank a lot of wine and laughed and laughed.

  Xie Wendong looked up at the night sky and thought of Peng Ling unconsciously, feeling melancholy in his heart.

  Seeing the melancholy in Xie Wendong's eyes, Jiang Sen asked curiously, "Brother Dong, are you worried about something?"

  Xie Wendong was depressed. When people have something on their mind, they always want to find someone to talk to and vent their worries. Xie Wendong was no exception. He sighed and told what happened between him and Peng Ling in the alley. After listening to it, Sanyan finally understood. He was a little surprised before. How could Dong Ge be caught so easily by the police when he wanted to escape in such a panic situation? Even if he was injured, it would not be difficult for him. It seems that this police officer named Peng Ling has a great influence on Dong Ge. Sanyan said, "So that's the case! Dong Ge, what are you going to do? Just let her go?"

  Jiang Sen had long been curious about Peng Ling and had sent people to check her background. He shook his head and said, "Brother Dong, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I just haven't found the opportunity."

  "Oh? What?"

  "Peng Ling is the daughter of Peng Shulin, and her father is the special commissioner sent by the central government and the deputy director of the provincial department of H Province!"

  "What?" Xie Wendong and Sanyan were both shocked. Xie Wendong had not expected that she was Peng Shulin's daughter!

  Sanyan said after a long while: "Then... then you can't touch her. The identity of the Central Special Envoy is not ordinary. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble!"

  Xie Wendong's heart moved, and after thinking for a while, he said: "No matter who her father is or how powerful his backers are, I will take revenge anyway!" After that, Xie Wendong turned around and walked back to the hotel. Sanyan and Jiang Sen looked at each other. Although Xie Wendong said so, they still saw a trace of melancholy on his face. The former whispered: "Lao Sen, what do you think Dong Ge will do?"

  "I don't know! But if Peng Ling is really important enough to affect what Dong Ge does, I will consider killing her..." Jiang Sen stretched out his finger and pointed it at his neck. Sanyan nodded in understanding. "Although I may not be able to get Dong Ge's forgiveness, this is definitely the best way when the time comes!"

  The next evening, Xie Wendong stood at the gate of the Municipal Bureau waiting for Peng Ling to get off work.

  His appearance was highly noticed. The police who were driving or walking in and out all changed their expressions when they saw Xie Wendong. They were shocked: How did he come out? The outside world might not know that Xie Wendong was the one who did the Huohong Nightclub incident, but everyone in the police knew about it. I heard that he was taken away by the military, and the final result should be a secret execution. I didn't expect that he would be standing at the door of the police station as if nothing had happened.

  At this time, Xie Wendong gave people the feeling that he was not here to wait for someone, but more like he was here to demonstrate!

  At around half past five, Peng Ling hurried out of the Municipal Bureau, followed by the policeman who had helped her to the hospital last time.

  When Peng Ling saw Xie Wendong standing there safe and sound, although it was strange, she was greatly relieved. Her heart was finally at ease and she was naturally happy. But when she saw Xie Wendong's cold and mocking eyes, her excited heart immediately cooled down.

  Xie Wendong watched the two people coming out of the gate, and he felt jealous. He looked at Peng Ling and the others with cold eyes, but he still greeted them with a smile on his face. "I want to talk to you, it's a private matter!" Xie Wendong glanced at the policeman next to Peng Ling.

  The policeman's face changed, realizing that Xie Wendong and Peng Ling had a special relationship. He quietly moved closer to the latter, looked at Xie Wendong in a demonstrative manner, and said with a pout: "It's strange that a gangster like you was released. Humph, don't think you are great just because you have connections in the military. Believe it or not, I will arrest you now..." He saw that Xie Wendong was taken away by the military and now came to the police station as if nothing had happened, and thought that there must be someone in the military protecting him.

  Xie Wendong didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and interrupted arrogantly: "There is no place for you to talk here, get out of here!"

  Seeing Xie Wendong's arrogant look, Peng Ling was furious and shouted, "Xie Wendong, if you have anything to say, just say it here. Also, please speak clearly, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau!"

  The policeman wanted to get angry, but after hearing what Peng Ling said, he suppressed his anger and shouted, "A gangster is a gangster, and a hooligans is a hooligans! Xiaoling, let's go. Don't stay with this kind of people. I don't think he can say anything good!" After that, he pulled Peng Ling's arm and walked aside. The policemen passing by heard his voice and stopped to watch.

  Peng Ling actually had a lot to say to Xie Wendong, but her pride made her unwilling to let others see that she had anything to do with him (the gangster). Moreover, Xie Wendong gave her a cold look as soon as he saw her. Wasn't it wrong for her to follow the duties of a police officer?!

  Peng Ling was dragged away by the policeman in a daze, but she didn't notice that Xie Wendong's eyes turned cold when he saw her coming out with the policeman.

  Watching the two people walking away, Xie Wendong gritted his teeth in anger. That damn policeman dragged Peng Ling away like that! He said fiercely in his heart: You remember this! After a long time, Xie Wendong looked at the direction where the two people disappeared, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a devilish smile!

  The next day, Xie Wendong was invited to the villa of Mr. Jin. He felt that Jin Peng had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a while. Xie Wendong heard from Dong Xinlei that the old man had been very concerned about his affairs and had traveled back and forth between S City and H City several times. Xie Wendong was grateful and was very respectful to the old man. After the two entered the living room, Xie Wendong recounted what had happened and handed the certificate given to him by Dongfang Yi to the old man.

  After listening carefully, the old man checked the documents and thought for a moment before saying, "I've only heard of the Central Security and Political Department. It's a completely powerful agency that takes orders from the Prime Minister. When they find something that's unfavorable to the country, they can make decisions directly without going through anyone. It's similar in nature to the East and West Factories during the Ming Dynasty. If you rely on them, it's like relying on a mountain!"

  "So what you mean is that this shouldn't be a bad thing for me?!" Xie Wendong understood that old people become more experienced. Jin Peng had much more experience than himself, and he really wanted to hear the old man's opinion.

  Jin Peng smiled and said, "It depends on what you do! If you can establish a relationship with the Central Committee through the Political Department, your future will be limitless. On the contrary, if the relationship becomes stagnant, your life will be in danger!"

  Xie Wendong thought about this and nodded, "I'll pay attention to this! I'm just afraid that if I become big in the future, the central government won't tolerate me. After all, I come from the underworld, and they can find any excuse to get rid of me!"

  Jin Peng shook his head. "I don't think that day will come with your brain. Even if you become big in the future, as long as you don't threaten the status of those leaders and can do something for them that they can't or don't want to do, they will not only not bring you down, but will also strongly support you!"

  Xie Wendong thought about it and realized that the old man was right. So what if he was from the underworld? As long as he could please the central government, he could do whatever he wanted!

  The two chatted for a long time in the room. Xie Wendong mentioned that he wanted to open a legitimate company, but he didn't know which areas could make money. Jin Peng helped him think of an idea, one is to do real estate, the other is to do computers. Jin Peng thought that both of these would be popular in the future, and he personally preferred the former because it was a business that could make a lot of money. Xie Wendong also thought it made sense, and doing real estate was indeed good, but he lacked talent in this area.

  Jin Peng smiled and said, "That's easy. If you trust me, I'll find you a consultant who's an expert in this field!"

  Xie Wendong said quickly: "Grandpa, you are too polite. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?!"

  The two of them decided on the matter. Jin Peng recommended a man called Yu Chao, who was young but very smart, especially in looking for land. However, he was in T City and would have to wait a few days before coming. Jin Peng asked Xie Wendong to take advantage of these few days to set up the company and find employees. He also told him some tips, which benefited Xie Wendong a lot.

  At noon, Jin Peng and Xie Wendong had lunch together. Jin Rong's school was far from home and he did not return.

  As he had something on his mind, Xie Wendong hurriedly ate something and got up to leave. He knew that it was not so easy to set up a company. First of all, he had to find the right talents and a place to set up the company. It would be even more troublesome when it came to the approval from above. The procedures were complicated, and any department could suppress you for a year or two if you didn't give them some benefits.

  These days, Xie Wendong has been busy from morning till night, with little time to rest. First, he bought a half-floor office building on Central Street, a prosperous area in H City, as the company's workplace. Then he recruited people through various channels, and his job advertisements were posted in talent markets, newspapers, etc. Xie Wendong was not very satisfied with most of the applicants, as most of them were freshly graduated students with no experience at all. Later, Sanyan got anxious and led the people in the Wendong Club to poach people from other companies, either by money temptation or force threat. Within two days, Sanyan really "invited" a group of people. Xie Wendong was relatively satisfied with these, at least everyone looked very smart and sophisticated. Real estate is all about speculation, and rookies who have just debuted are not good at this.

  While recruiting people, Xie Wendong had already started to register the company. Some government departments were unwilling to give in easily, hoping to get some money from him. But Xie Wendong didn't buy it. He knew how to deal with people in different ways. He kicked over the desk of the supervisor in the office, and Dong Xinlei, who was with him, took out a dagger and stabbed the man in the neck. Seeing that he had offended the underworld, the man didn't dare to say a word and just stamped the stamp. Xie Wendong's kick was famous, and other departments didn't dare to hold him back, and the procedures were completed quickly.

  Even the people invited by Sanyan admired the new boss. Even large foreign-funded enterprises could not register in China so smoothly!

  A few days later, Yu Chao, who was introduced by the old man, also arrived. Xie Wendong met Yu Chao in the villa of old man Jin. Xie Wendong thought to himself that this man didn't look like a real estate agent, but rather a thug. He was nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a big waist, and a pair of big hands that looked like two small fans. Who would have thought that such a big man was a brainiac!
