Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Teacher Chao, Ting Chao." Someone suddenly called him. Following the voice, Chao Long saw Song Dajiang with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's Director Song. What's the matter?" Seeing that it was Song Dajiang, who usually didn't talk to him, who was calling him, Chao Long spoke absentmindedly.

"Haha, Director Chao, I do have a little thing to find you, but it's not convenient to say it here. I have already booked a table outside, I wonder if you could do me the honor of coming?" Song Dajiang said with a smile and sincerity.

"You want to treat me to a meal?" Chao Long also reacted at this time, looking at Song Dajiang in surprise. He really didn't understand why the other party wanted his help, but when he thought that they were all deputy directors and would need to help each other in the future, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll obey your command."

"Thank you, thank you Director Chao for giving me face. Now your car can follow mine after get off work." Song Dajiang said happily as he saw Chao Long showing him the favor.

"Okay." Chao Long nodded, without thinking too much. In his life dictionary, he would be ruthless to his enemies, but he would unite with colleagues like Song Dajiang, or at least not offend them. It was for this purpose that he came up step by step. Of course, his relationship with the former director Wang Hailiang was another matter. If someone wanted to kill him, he would fight back without hesitation.

After work, Chao Long's car really caught up with Song Dajiang's car. The two cars drove out of the Provincial Public Security Bureau one after the other and arrived at the celebrity nightclub in the same urban area.

As soon as he arrived here, Chao Long's brows sank. He already knew the purpose of Song Dajiang bringing him here. After so many years in the capital province, it was impossible for him not to know who owned the Mingliu Nightclub and who it belonged to.

But now that he was here, Chao Long was not afraid. He wanted to see what Song Dajiang was up to. Was he really here just to eat, or did he have some other purpose? He thought it would be clear in a while.

In the building, Li Qing reported to Ji Dapeng that Chao Long had arrived.

"It seems that Chao Long doesn't know that I sent people to kill his brother Xu Chao. This is the best." Ji Dapeng thought to himself and stood up at the same time.

At this time, Chao Long really didn't know who killed his good brother Xu Chao. When Zhu Ting brought Xiao Hei back, he only knew that a man named Li Si was behind the scene. However, he was not very clear about who this Li Si was. Anyway, he knew that this was just a code name.

Following Song Dajiang, the two came to a very elegant private room upstairs, where a table of fine wine had already been set up, and even Ji Dapeng was already sitting there.

When he saw that there were indeed other people, Chao Long nodded. It seemed that what he thought was correct. It was not Song Dajiang who wanted to talk to him about something, but there were other people. However, when he saw Ji Dapeng, he was indeed stunned. He did not expect that the person who wanted to see him this time was Ji Dapeng, and the other person was waiting for him here. To be honest, this was a very high treatment.

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Chao Long did not dare to be arrogant after seeing Ji Dapeng, and said respectfully quickly.

"Haha, Mr. Chao, don't be so polite. Please take a seat." Ji Dapeng laughed with a sincere look on his face. If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they would think that these people were good friends for many years.

Friendships of many years are fake, they are just not good enough.

Chao Long was not polite either. Since Ji Dapeng had put up this formation, he must have something to ask of him, so he found a seat and sat down with confidence. Then he just looked at Ji Dapeng and waited for him to speak. Since the other party wanted something from him, he would of course take the initiative and not speak carelessly.

"Haha, Mr. Chao, come on, we are friends together, let's have a drink first." Seeing that Chao Long was able to remain calm in the face of danger, Ji Dapeng was somewhat impressed, so he raised his cup to face Chao Long.

"Please, Mr. Ji." Chao Long was used to this kind of scene, so he raised his glass. The three people including Song Dajiang drank a glass of wine together, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ji Dapeng finally spoke. Before he opened his mouth, he glanced at Song Dajiang first. The other party immediately stood up and went out under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

After waiting until there were only these two people left in the room, Ji Dapeng said, "Director Chao, I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"Master Ji, please speak." Chao Long laughed, but he said coldly in his heart, "If you want to discuss something with me, I'm afraid you really want to ask me for something."

"It's like this, a friend of mine wants to ask you for someone. Of course, you can name your price." Ji Dapeng also knew that he and Chao Long didn't have much in common, so he chose to get straight to the point.

"Oh? You asked me for a person, but I don't know who it is?" Chao Long was not surprised. As the most powerful force in the capital province, there were often some underworld brothers who were desperate and had offended others who came to them, hoping to take them in. And because Chao Long was a very confident person in the underworld, as long as the person had no problems and was not disadvantageous to him, he would take in anyone he could. So there were always people asking him for face and people, and this kind of thing was not surprising.

"Haha, actually this person is not a big shot, just an ordinary person. His name is Xiao Hei." Ji Dapeng laughed and reported Xiao Hei's name as if it didn't matter.

While saying this, Ji Dapeng was also very concerned about Chao Long's reaction.

Sure enough, when Chao Long heard the name Xiao Hei, his whole body trembled. This person was related to the murderer who killed his brother Xu Chao. He originally wanted to investigate it thoroughly, but now Ji Dapeng actually wanted this person. As long as he figured out who wanted this person, the truth might become clear.

"Xiao Hei? Haha, Master Ji, I wonder if I can know who wants this person?" Chao Long laughed and pretended not to care on the surface, but he was actually getting nervous in his heart. He really wanted to hear who dared to kill his brother.

"No." Unexpectedly, Ji Dapeng refused without hesitation. "This person is a friend of mine. He made this request and also said that he didn't want his name to be mentioned, so I can't say anything. I believe Chao can understand this."

In fact, there was no client at all. It was Ji Dapeng himself who wanted to find Xiao Hei, so he said that.

Chao Long was not satisfied with Ji Dapeng's answer. He could hand over Xiao Hei, and he could even not use this case to gain merit, but he had to find the man behind the scenes, because his brother couldn't die in vain. "I'm sorry, if that's the case, I can't hand him over."

Ji Dapeng was upset that Chao Long had rejected him, but he had other options. "Mr. Chao, why are you doing this? The person who came to me said that Xiao Hei was just an ordinary gangster, and he wanted to vent his anger after offending him. I think it's okay for Mr. Chao to give me some face for such a person. Besides, my friend is very generous and is willing to pay 5 million to find this person."

Five million is indeed not a small number. Under normal circumstances, even if he didn't have so much money, Chao Long would still give Ji Dapeng some face. But now, because the matter is related to the cause of his brother's death, he will definitely not be moved by the money.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Hei is just as important to me. I'm sorry that I can't agree to Mr. Ji's request." Chao Long refused for the second time without hesitation.

"What? Director Chao doesn't give me face?" Ji Dapeng's face turned cold and he just stared at Chao Long.

Chao Long was not nervous, nor was he afraid. He picked up a glass of wine from the table and sipped it slowly. Ji Dapeng was not easy to mess with, but was he? He had worked hard from a worthless little man to the present, and he had indeed suffered a lot. But compared to Ji Dapeng's status, he was nothing. If we must compare them, one is rubble and the other is porcelain. If the two collided, it would be obvious who would suffer.

Just with the idea that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, Chao Long did not give Ji Dapeng any face. He just didn't believe that the other party really dared to do anything to him.

Ji Dapeng stared at Chao Long with a cold gaze for a long time, but the other party had no intention of surrendering. After about three minutes, Ji Dapeng suddenly laughed, "Haha, Director Chao, you are really brave. How about this, as long as you are willing to hand over this person, I can add some chips, for example, in the future in the provincial department, Song Dajiang can fully cooperate with you and listen to your orders, and I will find a way to help you get the position of director, what do you think?"

Chao Long didn't expect Ji Dapeng to laugh, and he didn't expect him to give in to him again.

It must be said that the price Ji Dapeng saw was indeed not low. Sending a deputy director to his side for his own control and promising him the position of future director was a very high condition.

But Chao Long was not interested in any of these. As far as his career was concerned, he was very satisfied with his current position, and he had no requirements for the position of director. Perhaps he also understood the truth that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. People like him should not stay in a higher position, otherwise, it would be of no benefit to him. The position of director could not impress him, let alone Song Dajiang's obedience, which was even more meaningless to him.
