Chapter 131 - Cooperation
"Little Li, I only told you my identity because I treated you as a brother." Seeing the change in Li Xiang's expression, she laughed out loud, "I didn't want to tell you in the first place, I was afraid that you would be implicated because of me, I didn't expect you to actually know Zhang Quanan."
He already knew that Huang Shan's identity was not ordinary, but he didn't know the specifics. Looking at A Sen and the others' postures, he seemed to be a hoodlum.
However, the demeanor and conversation within the mountains did not resemble the mafia lord he had met, but more like that of a gentle and refined scholar.
"Brother Huang, you know Zhang Quanan?" Li Xiang asked.
Hearing Zhang Quanan's name, killing intent and disgust flashed past Huang Shan's eyes, "Little Li, do you still remember the first time I was chased by a little hoodlum?"
Li Xiang nodded his head, of course he wouldn't forget, if it wasn't for the chase, they wouldn't have recognized him. However, the Yellow Mountain didn't say who the person chasing after him was, nor did he ask. However, Li Xiang was curious to know who had the guts to be so ruthless, to kill the entire Huang Mountain at all costs.
"The one who wants to kill me is Zhang Quanan!" Huang Shan's words had undoubtedly dropped a bomb on Li Xiang's heart.
If Zhang Quanan wanted to kill Huang Shan, he must have obstructed their interests. But what kind of conflict of interests would there be between the two of them that caused Huang Shan to bring up his death with murderous intent?
Huang Shan looked at Li Xiang's doubtful expression and slowly explained, "Deputy mayor is already old enough to retire, and news comes from the province. Therefore, the position of the Deputy mayor became very popular. And Zhang Quanan, the secretary of the Deputy mayor, is one of the most popular candidate for the Deputy mayor. "
"But he was cut off by Big Brother, that's why Zhang Quanan tried to kill him in anger." Li Xiang suddenly continued Huang Shan's words.
Huang Shanzhong looked at him in surprise, admiring his quick reaction. In the future, he would definitely be an outstanding figure.
"That's right, Zhang Quanan's ability is insufficient, and he is extremely greedy. If he were to sit at that position, the entire Xiangjiang River would probably be in a bloody mess. That's why the Deputy mayor came to my side to discuss, and they decided to push me out so that I can sit in this position. "
Li Xiang digested the huge information from Huang Shan's words. He had guessed that Huang Shan's identity was a successful businessman, not only was he an underworld faction, he also had the shrewdness of a merchant.
However, she never thought that it would actually be a politician. Looking at A Sen who was constantly calling out Big Brother, she couldn't help but sigh.
Huang Shan knew that Li Xiang was a little doubtful, but wasn't he too? He was a little curious as to how he managed to walk down the political road.
"Then why does A Sen keep on calling you big brother? I thought that big brother was a hoodlum."
When Huang Shan heard this, his face revealed an expression of reminiscence, as if he had thought of something, and walked over to look at the faint figure outside: "A Sen is already used to calling out to him, but I can't change it, so I haven't corrected him either. I was the one who rescued A Sen from the streets, so he was always by my side and helped me save A Sen from being hunted down again and again over the years. "
Li Xiang did not question too much about Huang Shan's identity. After all, his current identity as a Deputy mayor was something that couldn't be exposed due to his previous black identity. However, since he was able to leave the mountain unscathed, his true identity must not be simple.
Li Xiang laughed, and drank the tea in his hand, "A Sen is very loyal."
Huang Shan gave him a silent look, with an inquiring look in his eyes. Li Xiang was indeed a smart person, neither arrogant nor impatient. He knew what to ask and what not to ask, and for such a person, she really wanted to suspect if he was just a bodyguard.
However, he believed that his investigations were not wrong, but Li Xiang was much stronger than those so called genius of the clan that he had met in the past. If it wasn't for the bodyguard written on the investigation data, he would have suspected that the heir of some large family had come out to gain some experience.
However, looking at Li Xiang's face, he felt that he had seen it somewhere, and it gave him a very familiar feeling. However, he had never seen it before. He decided to bury this unrealistic idea deep within his heart.
"To be frank, aside from becoming the next Deputy mayor, I also have one thing to do in Xiangjiang River, which is to investigate Zhang Quanan. The higher ups already received reliable information that Zhang Quanan is related to the recent incident of corruption. " Huang Shan told this secret to Li Xiang easily. He believed that Li Xiang would keep it a secret, "I need your help, I haven't been here for a long time, and what I lack right now is time. That's why I made a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?" Li Xiang looked puzzledly at Huang Mountain, "We only know about Zhang Quanan, but we don't know much about him."
"I know that, and I won't force you. I will help you solve your problems." Huang Shan's tone changed, "I hope you all can think for the people of Xiangjiang River, that the corruption that Zhang Quanan committed will definitely endanger the entire city. Cooperation is not for my benefit, but for the development of the entire Xiangjiang River City. "
Li Xiang pondered for a moment. As a soldier in the past, he naturally placed the safety of his people first, but he was ordered to protect Mo Fei. He did not want to involve Mo Fei in these matters.
"Alright, I agree to cooperate, but I have a condition that we must protect Mo Fei's safety. My main mission is to protect her, I do not want anything to happen to her."
"I didn't expect Xiao Li to be a person who cherishes the fairer sex. Don't worry, I will guarantee Miss Mo's safety and will not go back on my words."
"But what do you need me to do?" Li Xiang was curious, he couldn't help with political matters, could he be the one to assassinate him?
He stood up in the middle of the yellow mountain and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, not saying anything for a while.
After a long while, his calm voice sounded in the silent room: "I need you to go find someone. Zhang Quanan had hidden him, and I've already found the location, but I'll have to rely on you to save him."
Save people? Li Xiang's heart was faintly puzzled as he waited for Huang Shan's explanation.
Zhang Quanan is just a small fry. The person in charge has not been investigated by any of us, and only has a general idea of who he is. But the undercover man got substantial evidence of embezzlement, and unfortunately, the evidence was hidden in a place only he knew. " Yellow Mountain paused for a moment, his mood fluctuating, "That's why they imprisoned him. We just found the place where he was hidden."
That person should be very important to Huang Mountain. His usually calm mood started to fluctuate a little, Li Xiang looked at him doubtfully.
Huang Shan also felt his mood fluctuate and smiled apologetically: "Sorry about that. The prisoner is my good brother, so I implore you in my private name to save him."
Huang Shan took a step back and bowed towards Li Xiang. When Li Xiang saw that this steel-like person had actually bent over towards him, he hurriedly helped him up.
"Big Brother Huang, you are too polite. Don't worry, I will definitely let him out." Li Xiang patted his chest and promised Huang Shan.
"Good!" "I'm not mistaken. Come, let's eat first." Huang Shan laughed out loud.
Li Xiang waved goodbye to the yellow mountain in his hand and the car started moving slowly, moving further and further away.
Huang Shan looked at Li Xiang's gradually fading figure through the rearview mirror, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion. He hoped that this young man could give him a pleasant surprise and at the same time help to recover from his many years of regrets.
"Brother, do you trust Li Xiang?" A Sen curiously asked Huang Shan. Since his brother told Li Xiang such an important matter, he was not afraid that Li Xiang would tell others. If this information that they had obtained with great difficulty got out, then that person's hiding spot would be moved once again.
Just when A Sen thought it was sleeping, a cold voice came out from the carriage: "I can trust Li Xiang, but I'm afraid that if we don't save Ol 'Four this time, those people would not let him live."
Hearing this, A Sen's expression became heavy. He also wanted to save Fourth Brother, but they had failed two times in a row, and this time, they did not dare to take the risk.
However, seeing that Big Brother trusted Li Xiang so much, he relaxed. Big Brother wanted to save Fourth Brother more than anyone else, so he wouldn't risk Fourth Brother's life.
Huang Shan's eyelids were a little heavy, and he slowly closed his eyes. Recently, in order to deal with the matters of the Xiangjiang River, he had not slept well for a few days and nights.
However, the image of Ol 'Four could clearly be seen in his mind. It was as if he was once again hot-blooded when he was young, a carefree and high-spirited youth, and a group of like-minded brothers. After a long time, he thought of the four of them again. He just didn't know when he would be able to see them again.
He clearly remembered that night when the four of them had sat on the roof of the building drinking, each of them so drunk because it had been the last time the two of them had been together.
The first to leave was him. He had to shoulder the responsibility of the entire clan, and he had to give up everything in exchange for seven years of freedom. In these seven years, he had made friends with the best of his life.
Due to the fact that they gathered together because of their faith, they did not represent only themselves. They represented the clans behind them. Thus, they especially cherished the days of being together.
They had used seven years to establish their own underworld kingdom. From being a street hoodlum at the beginning to a gang that terrified everyone, he had put in all his effort.
After seven years, each of them would return to fulfill their obligations. Only Ol 'Three remained in the sect, and the other three all returned.
He followed his family and walked on the path of political affairs. His status was very high while his second son entered the military region. However, there was no news on the battlefield. He did not know if his fourth brother was alive or dead …
Huang Shan closed his eyes in grief, not daring to think any further. He should have stopped him at the beginning. There were so many policemen, yet they wanted him to be a spy.
Number four, just wait for elder brother. He will definitely let you return safely.
He still remembered the look in Ol 'Four's eyes before he left. It was filled with sorrow and reluctance. The last thing he said was, "Big Bro, if I return safely, let's gather together."
Huang Shan's eyes twitched and a teardrop flowed down his face.
