I lit a cigarette again and took a deep breath. The smoke slowly swirled in my mouth. I let it swim in my mouth for a moment, and then slowly exhaled it.
The faint smoke seemed to come to life under the light, dancing gently in the air, and finally slowly dissipated.
In the midst of the smoke, my thoughts seemed to be taken to a distant place, to those past days and the grudges and grudges I had with He Hong.
"Boss, what happened? Just now you sent a message asking me to gather people, but you didn't see anything happening." Chang Jianlin asked with a frown.
There was a hint of urgency in his tone, and a trace of confusion and worry flashed in his eyes.
I didn't answer immediately, but took another deep drag on the cigarette, letting the smoke fill my mouth again, as if this could give me some temporary peace.
I slowly exhaled the smoke, letting it drift aimlessly in the cold night sky.
The smoke swirled in the air and gradually dissipated, just like my chaotic thoughts at the moment became clearer bit by bit.
"He Hong, come to the old street." I spoke calmly but loudly, as if these five words contained an endless storm.
"What?! He Hong? Which He Hong?" Chang Jianlin's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
He obviously didn't expect that this name that once kept us awake at night would suddenly appear this night.
Zhou Yang was also stunned, and it took him a while to find his voice: "You mean, He Hong has come to Lao Cai? Hasn't he been developing in Malaysia? Why suddenly..."
His words were full of doubts, and his eyes glanced at me and Chang Jianlin complicatedly, as if looking for answers.
I nodded and looked solemnly: "Not only did he come, he also became a guest of the Wei family. Tonight at the Henry Hotel, Wei Rong hosted a banquet for him. The grandeur even surprised me."
Having said this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. He Hong's ambition was greater than I imagined.
Chang Jianlin and Zhou Yang looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces.
Like me, they are well aware of the grievances between He Hong and me, and know the meaning behind it all.
The appearance of He Hong undoubtedly added another layer of variables to our situation.
"What's this guy doing in Laojie?" Chang Jianlin asked, with a hint of worry in his voice.
"He wants to cooperate with the Wei family to build an AI face-changing system in his campus in the Philippines." I said, with a hint of indifference in my tone, as if I was talking about something that had nothing to do with me.
"Ah?" Chang Jianlin was stunned, "Did the Wei family agree?"
"Not yet. I'm not sure what Wei Rong is thinking now." I said, my eyes darkened slightly, but my heart was filled with turmoil.
I know that no matter what Wei Rong's decision is, He Hong's appearance has already given me a huge impact.
"Boss, in my opinion, we have to strike first." Chang Jianlin's eyes burned with a determination that could not be ignored. He clenched his fists, and his whole body exuded a cold aura, as if he was about to attack. The beast said, "This is the old street! As long as you give the order, I will immediately lead people to kill He Hong! Let him know that the old street is not a place where he can come or leave whenever he wants!"
I shook my head and gently pressed out the cigarette butt with my fingers, leaving a firework in the ashtray.
I turned my head and looked at Chang Jianlin with deep eyes. My tone was calm but decisive: "Jianlin, you are too impulsive. Not to mention how many bodyguards He Hong brought here this time, he is now Wei Since we are guests at home, we cannot act rashly."
I paused and my voice became calmer: "Think about it, if we disturb He Hong in the Wei family's territory, what will be the consequences?"
Chang Jianlin was instantly discouraged, his fists slowly loosened, and his face became a little embarrassed.
Although he is extremely brave, in this complicated situation, he is indeed prone to being impulsive and ignores the complexity of the situation and the seriousness of the consequences.
Zhou Yang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. His voice sounded in the room, with a hint of contemplation: "I do have an idea."
He paused and glanced sharply at everyone present: "Since He Hong is here for our AI face-changing system, can we find a way to make Wei Rong refuse his cooperation? If Wei Rong insists, If we cooperate with him, the worst we can do is break up with the Wei family, right?"
I stared at Zhou Yang, with some admiration in my eyes, but soon this admiration was replaced by deep worry.
I shook my head slowly, with a trace of helplessness in my voice: "Your idea is not unreasonable, but it ignores a key issue."
I took a deep breath and continued: "The attitude of the Ming family and the Bai family towards us is still unclear at the moment. If we offend the Wei family again at this time, I am afraid we will really have no place in Laojie. "
After hearing this, Zhou Yang suddenly realized, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.
The office fell into silence for a moment, as if even the air was frozen.
Everyone is thinking about countermeasures, but they all find it extremely difficult.
The emergence of He Hong has indeed given us a big problem. It is like a time bomb. We must handle it carefully. Any wrong step may cause our entire power to collapse in Lao Cai.
In the tight air, Chang Jianlin suddenly burst out with an unwilling force. He slammed the table excitedly, as if to shatter all the silence and hesitation.
He stood up, his body looking particularly determined in the dim light: "Boss, we can't sit still and wait for death!"
There was a trace of uncontrollable anger burning in his eyes: "How about this, I will arrange some people first to keep an eye on He Hong's every move in secret. Once we find out that he makes any small moves, we will kill him in one fell swoop!"
I pondered for a moment, looking for a glimmer of hope in this chaotic situation, and said, "It is necessary to keep an eye on him, but you cannot act rashly."
Chang Jianlin nodded solemnly, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and went out to make arrangements.
His back was elongated in the light at the door, like a soldier about to go on an expedition, full of determination not to retreat.
I turned to Zhou Yang and said in a low and powerful voice: "From now on, you have to find a way to manipulate the system. If it doesn't work, we will all perish together!"
Zhou Yang responded, his eyes showing determination, and he resigned.
I was the only one left in the huge office.
I walked to the French window and looked out at the night outside. The dark sky seemed to be waiting for the storm to come.
I exhaled a long breath, trying to release the depression in my chest into the invisible night.
He Hong, He Hong, what are you planning?
This question is like a fog, shrouding my mind and making me unable to settle down.
Thinking of this, I made up my mind.
Tomorrow, I'm going to find Wei Rong and ask her in person to see what her attitude is towards He Hong.
Only by figuring out the Wei family's position can I adjust my next response strategy in time...
