Lian Beichuan was furious, and Gu Qingdai felt that the air around her had frozen at this moment.
After a brief silence, Lian Beichuan looked sideways and spoke as calmly as possible: "I'll have someone take you back to the teahouse."
"Don't worry about me, you go and deal with business first." Gu Qingdai understood how angry and bad Lian Beichuan's current mood was.
Seeing that Lian Beichuan was indifferent, Gu Qingdai simply opened the door and got out of the car, and asked Huo Jie directly: "Where is the machine being detained?"
Huo Jie explained the details on the spot. There were four ships carrying Lian's trading company's machinery, two of which had already sailed into the dock, and the other two were moored in the nearby river and were preparing to enter the dock.
Initially, everything went as planned and everything went smoothly, until they were approaching Luancheng Pier when Cao Bang patrol boats suddenly surrounded them.
They forcibly boarded the ship to conduct a search on the grounds that there were important wanted criminals escaping in Luancheng recently.
As a result, the wanted criminal was not found, but many prohibited items were "accidentally" found.
"What prohibited items were found?" Lian Beichuan, who got out of the car later, asked urgently.
Huo Jie replied word for word: "Big smoke paste."
This is simply a big joke. Last year, who was the one who advocated plagiarizing the Fan Family Medical Center?
Is Lian Beichuan’s attitude towards the epidemic not clear enough?
Gu Qingdai suddenly recalled that on the primary day of the Miss Luancheng beauty pageant, Lu Mingze and his party were blocked by a temporary roadblock.
At that time, she really thought that some major case was going on, but it was only now that she realized that it was just a trap set up for Lian Beichuan.
Last time, he was the "just" party who assisted in the search for wanted criminals, and Li Zheng "escaped" under his nose.
This time, he changed from the "just" party to the object of suspicion, and "got both the stolen goods". It's really ironic!
"Is there anything else?" Lian Beichuan pursed his lips into a straight line and gradually regained his composure.
"It was said that the people on the boat refused to accept the Cao Gang's search and had a physical collision with them. One person from the Cao Gang died..."
The person is dead and his temper has become serious.
But Lian Beichuan knew very well that the machine manufacturer and transport fleet he chose were absolutely legitimate.
Everyone is just trying to make money by being friendly, so who would fight against the Caobang?
"Have the people from the police department arrived?" Lian Beichuan has many connections in the police department. It should be very beneficial for him to get involved as soon as possible.
Huo Jie shook his head and pointed to a group of people on the bank of the dock river. "It's too dark, so the second master can't see clearly. The police department didn't take over the matter. It was the Luancheng Security Team who came."
"The officers and soldiers have been alarmed." Lian Beichuan couldn't stop laughing. He opened two buttons of his shirt and looked into the depths of the empty river bank.
Huo Jie was uneasy: "Second Master, I'm having a hard time tonight."
Gu Qingdai looked at the heads moving back and forth not far away, "Where is Song Yueting?"
"How could he show up?"
"Where is the leader of the security team?" Gu Qingdai asked the key point.
Yuan Sen, the captain of the security team, is a well-known veteran. He takes money to do things and never talks about extraneous matters.
No matter how the political situation in Luancheng changes, he can always protect himself wisely.
"Yuan Sen also didn't show up." Huo Jie frowned. The Luancheng Pier tonight was tightly controlled by the Cao Gang.
Gu Qingdai took a deep breath. Neither Song Yueting nor Yuan Sen showed up. What this meant was self-evident.
She walked to Lian Beichuan's side and said, "Second Master... Beichuan, can the deputy county magistrate come forward to handle this matter?"
Lian Beichuan smiled when he heard Gu Qingdai call him this for the first time, "That Hongtao is of no use."
"Where is the county magistrate?"
"The county magistrate left this morning for a meeting in the provincial capital." Lian Beichuan stretched out his fingers and pressed his temples a few times. It all happened by chance.
"Now then..."
"Huo Jie, don't have a head-on conflict with the Cao Gang and the security team, otherwise there will be unnecessary casualties." Lian Beichuan began to explain in an orderly manner.
Huo Jie, who had been hesitant just now, suddenly cheered up because he felt that the fighting spirit of the young master's family had been aroused.
"They can do whatever they want, but remember one thing: no one is allowed to touch my machine."
Gu Qingdai agreed: "No matter how messy a thing is, you can slowly figure it out, but if the machine is destroyed, it won't just be a loss of money."
These machines are the key to converting Lian's Trading Company from manual work to mechanization. Does the other party want to hinder the transformation of Lian's Trading Company? Or is it simply to suppress Lian Beichuan?
These are still a mystery at the moment, but Gu Qingdai feels that Lian Beichuan is capable of handling them well.
This feeling is very subtle.
"I understand." Huo Jie immediately went to arrange for his men.
At the same time, Cheng Liyuan, Lian Yuchuan, Lian Pingchuan, Lian Rongchuan and others who were affiliated with Uncle Lian's uncle all arrived.
Only then did Gu Qingdai realize how embarrassed she was here. Seeing everyone surrounding Lian Beichuan to discuss matters, she sadly stepped aside and wanted to leave the dock quietly.
"Qingdai!"
Lian Beichuan raised his voice to stop her and quickly ran behind her.
Gu Qingdai turned back in embarrassment. Even in this dark night, she could still feel the gazes coming from many eyes.
"You, can you accompany me..."
"Can."
Although she didn't know what Lian Beichuan asked her to accompany him, Gu Qingdai agreed without hesitation.
She thought, just think of it as repaying his debt of gratitude.
Now is Lian Beichuan's most difficult moment.
He pulled her back to the car, then turned around and drove back to Luancheng.
"Let's go to Hongtao's house first."
"Isn't he irresponsible?"
"But he doesn't dare to offend me easily. I'll keep quiet first."
Gu Qingdai lowered her head and thought for a while, "I think..."
Lian Beichuan kept an eye on the road ahead and said, "If you have anything to say, say it boldly. Maybe I don't think as comprehensively as you do."
"Actually, whether this matter is serious or trivial depends on Song Yueting."
Lian Beichuan tightened the steering wheel and turned a corner, "Go on."
"We need to find out whether someone asked Song Yueting to come forward to bring you down, or whether Song Yueting himself wants to bring you down."
"Which aspect do you think is more likely?"
Gu Qingdai clicked her tongue, "Now is the period of the Miss Luancheng beauty pageant. Is it necessary for Song Yueting to add drama to herself at this juncture?"
"The objective fact is that my machine will arrive in Luancheng tonight. If they don't do it tonight, how will they have a chance?"
Lian Beichuan lightly stepped on the brakes, and the two of them had arrived at the door of the house.
Lian Beichuan knocked on the door first and directly announced his name, hoping that Na Hongtao would just open the door.
But a woman's voice soon came from the door. It was Na Hongtao's wife. She said that Na Hongtao had gone out to socialize tonight and had not returned home.
Lian Beichuan looked at Gu Qingdai asking for help, and then Gu Qingdai knew why he wanted to accompany him here.
"Madam, please open the door. We just have a few words to say to you."
Gu Qingdai knocked on the door slowly and quickly, and the sound echoed in the silent night.
The lady couldn't bear it any longer, so she finally asked her servant to open the door.
Gu Qingdai and Lian Beichuan entered the house almost at the same time. Gu Qingdai smiled brightly and said, "Madam, we are not in a hurry. We can sit down and wait for the deputy county magistrate to come back."
Even Beichuan almost laughed out loud, this little fox is really a "sweet talker and a sword"!
