Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Yang Shumao raised his head and looked at Shi Xiaona. "Internal? You mean, find the people around Niu Tinggui?"

Shi Xiaona nodded. "Yes. We can try to get closer to the people around him and see if we can get more clues from them."

He Daqing thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea. We can try to get close to some of his confidants and see if we can get more information."

So, they decided to act separately. Yang Shumao was responsible for continuing to investigate Niu Tinggui's background, He Daqing tried to contact some people around Niu Tinggui, Zhao Yajing was responsible for sorting out and analyzing the existing evidence, and Shi Xiaona was responsible for taking care of and comforting Shi Xiaojun.

A few days later, He Daqing finally found some breakthroughs. He learned that one of Niu Tinggui's confidants, named Adong, was his right-hand man. He Daqing decided to try to get close to Adong to see if he could get some useful information from him.

One night, He Daqing asked Adong to meet him at a bar. The lights in the bar were dim and the music was deafening. He Daqing found Adong, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Adong, long time no see." He Daqing said with a smile.

Ah Dong turned around and saw He Daqing. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Daqing, long time no see. How come you have time to come to see me?"

He Daqing smiled, sat down and said, "I have something I want to ask you recently. Do you have time to talk?"

A Dong nodded and raised his glass, "Of course, let's drink and talk."

The two chatted for a while, and He Daqing gradually turned the topic to Niu Tinggui. "Adong, I heard that Niu Tinggui has some troubles recently. I wonder if you have heard about it?"

Hearing this, Dong's expression became a little serious. "Yes, Tinggui has indeed encountered some troubles recently. But he always has a way, I think he can solve it."

He Daqing smiled and raised his glass, "Of course. Niu Tinggui has always been smart, how could he be stumped by trouble?"

A Dong nodded and took a sip of wine. "But, to be honest, there are some things that have worried me recently."

He Daqing pretended to be concerned and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Dong looked around and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's quite expensive. I've been dealing with some criminals recently. I think something bad will happen if this continues."

He Daqing's heart was moved, but he remained calm on the surface, "Really? Then have you ever thought about reminding him?"

A Dong sighed, "I've thought about it, but it's expensive and he never listens to advice. I don't know what to do."

He Daqing patted his shoulder and said, "Adong, you are his right-hand man, he will definitely listen to you. You should try to talk to him and ask him to pay attention to safety."

A Dong nodded, seeming a little shaken, "Maybe you are right, I should try again."

He Daqing smiled and raised his glass, "Come, let's drink to our friendship."

Ah Dong also raised his glass, and the two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. He Daqing secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking that he had successfully planted a seed of doubt.

After returning to the company, He Daqing told Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing about the meeting. They both thought it was a good opportunity and decided to follow up to see if they could get more information from Adong.

A few days later, He Daqing asked Adong to meet again. This time, they chose a quiet cafe.

"Adong, since our last meeting, I have been thinking about the things you said." He Daqing went straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

A Dong nodded, looking a little worried, "Yeah, I've been thinking about what to do."

He Daqing smiled and said, "In fact, sometimes we need to take some proactive measures and can't always wait passively."

A Dong raised his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "What do you suggest?"

He Daqing pondered for a moment and whispered, "I think we can try to find some evidence to let Niu Tinggui understand how dangerous his current situation is."

A Dong hesitated for a moment, "But, wouldn't it be too risky to do this?"

Xie Zhiqiang didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he had to keep quiet.

The night when He Daqing met Adong again, the sky was full of stars, but his mood was as heavy as the night. He knew that today's meeting was crucial because they needed more clues to deal with Niu Tinggui. The lights in the cafe were soft and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee. He Daqing and Adong sat face to face, each with their own thoughts in their hearts.

He Daqing looked at Adong, with a hint of sincerity in his tone: "Adong, I know you don't want to make things worse, but we must fight for justice for Shi Xiaojun. We can't let Niu Tinggui continue to be so unscrupulous."

A Dong sighed, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "Da Qing, I understand what you mean, but you know Niu Tinggui's methods, he is not so easy to deal with."

He Daqing nodded and said firmly: "That's why we need stronger evidence. Only in this way can he have nowhere to escape."

A Dong was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best to help you collect more evidence. But you have to be careful, Niu Tinggui is not a good person."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Adong. Your help is very important to us."

After the conversation, He Daqing returned to the company and told Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing the results of the meeting. Everyone felt that this was an important development and decided to continue to follow up on Adong's clues.

A few days later, He Daqing received a call from Xie Zhiqiang. Xie Zhiqiang was a senior employee of their company and a good friend of He Daqing. On the other end of the phone, Xie Zhiqiang's voice seemed a little low: "Daqing, I have something to talk to you about. Can you come over?"

He Daqing agreed to Xie Zhiqiang's request and immediately rushed to his residence. Xie Zhiqiang's home was in an old-style courtyard house, with flowers and plants everywhere, and it was peaceful and tranquil. However, when He Daqing walked into the house and saw Xie Zhiqiang, he found that his face looked a little solemn.

"Daqing, you're here." Xie Zhiqiang forced a smile and motioned He Daqing to sit down.

He Daqing looked at Xie Zhiqiang and asked with concern: "Zhiqiang, what happened? You look very worried."

Xie Zhiqiang was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Daqing, I have actually been paying attention to the company's situation recently, especially the matter regarding Niu Tinggui. I know you have been investigating him, but I hope you can handle this matter calmly."
