Chapter 187 Assassination of Lu Qiubai
Why did people gather at the gate of Feng Jingyao's mansion to denounce Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li? Because this was where they attacked the Blue Shirts Team.
Everyone despises traitors, and even Feng Jingyao doesn't want to be associated with these two words. If it weren't for this hot potato, he wouldn't have let Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li do the dirty work.
At that time, Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li did this dirty work in order to show their loyalty, but now the backlash has come.
"Wen Qiang, have you found out who did this?" Feng Jingyao asked Xu Wenqiang beside him unhappily, frowning as he held a long cigarette holder in his mouth.
Xu Wenqiang was silent for a moment: "I found out that a newspaper received the tip-off~~"
"Hey, please deal with this matter as soon as possible. The impact is too great."
"But it's about the bidding for the water plant~~"
"Let's put that aside for now. The most urgent thing is to stop those people from talking nonsense about us in the newspapers."
"Mr. Feng, I have an idea."
"Oh, tell me."
"Mr. Feng, since someone is using the newspaper to attack us, why don't we just buy the newspaper?
This not only solves the current problem, but we can also use newspapers to speak well of ourselves or to attack others. Besides, running a newspaper does not necessarily mean losing money.”
If Zhang Dongliang were here, he would definitely applaud Xu Wenqiang's idea. Awesome! With money in one hand and public opinion in the other, he can play the tricks of later generations. He is not an ordinary person. He is worthy of being a student of Yanda University.
Xu Wenqiang's later experience in the play also proves an old saying: Gangsters are not scary, what is scary is that gangsters are educated.
After listening to Xu Wenqiang's words, Feng Jingyao thought for a moment and his brows relaxed.
"Yes, Wen Qiang has an idea. This is a good idea. I'll leave it to you, Wen Qiang."
After a pause, Feng Jingyao continued, "But you'd better clear yourself from the Blue Shirts incident. I remember you weren't there, right?"
After Feng Jingyao finished speaking, he looked at Xu Wenqiang meaningfully.
Xu Wenqiang frowned and did not answer Feng Jingyao's question: "Mr. Feng, I'm going to do my work first."
Looking at Xu Wenqiang's receding back, Feng Jingyao murmured, "Young man~~"
Feng Jingyao's meaning was clearly implied, that is, if Ding Li could take the blame for this matter, everyone would be able to pass smoothly.
It all depends on what decision Xu Wenqiang makes.
After Xu Wenqiang joined Feng Jingyao's camp, he had more opportunities to meet Feng Chengcheng.
Feng Jingyao also intended to create opportunities for Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng to meet more often.
Feng Chengcheng also had a liking for this well-dressed young man.
Xu Wenqiang was efficient and effective, handsome, polite, a top student at Yan University, and worked under his father. In every way, he was a good match for him.
As time goes by, love grows. Feng Chengcheng's affection for Xu Wenqiang grows day by day.
But at this moment, news suddenly came out that Xu Wenqiang had let the traitor go, which made Feng Chengcheng's heart sink suddenly.
Even if she was a good match, Feng Chengcheng would not dare to marry a traitor or someone who had many connections with traitors.
Although born in a dark family, Feng Chengcheng was not contaminated under Feng Jingyao's careful isolation. Feng Chengcheng could still distinguish between right and wrong on major issues.
This bad news made Feng Chengcheng depressed all of a sudden.
The attacks on Xu Wenqiang in the newspapers did not affect Xu Wenqiang's acquisition of the newspaper.
Xu Wenqiang came to the newspaper office to announce the news, and announced in public that Lu Qiubai was transferred to the entertainment gossip section. Lu Qiubai resigned angrily without saying a word or even looking at Xu Wenqiang.
"Hahahahaha", Lu Qiubai laughed out loud towards the sky as he walked out of the newspaper office.
Xu Wenqiang had planned everything, but he still didn't expect to be one step too late. Today's newspapers had already been printed and distributed, and the newspaper boys had already started selling them on the streets. His last article was among them, and they could no longer change this fact.
This is all thanks to Mr. Zhang's careful arrangements.
The third wave of ultimate killing moves was aimed at Feng Jingyao.
The fact that he bribed the socialite Fan Mei to give her to the Japanese Oshima for entertainment in order to seek the position of director of the Municipal Council was exposed in the newspapers.
Compared with the actions of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li, Feng Jingyao's move was a clear act of treason. The people's anger was ignited, and a large number of people surrounded the gate of the Municipal Council to protest against Feng Jingyao's election as a director of the Municipal Council.
Feng Jingyao was furious about this.
"Wen Qiang, what's going on? Didn't you say that this matter has been resolved?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Feng, we are a step late."
After Xu Wenqiang left, Feng Jingyao waved to A Xiang and said, "A Xiang, check to see who did it and solve this problem once and for all."
"Yes, Mr. Feng." A Xiang never hesitated in carrying out Feng Jingyao's orders.
"Brother Wen, your classmate has gone too far. To what extent has he harmed both of us? No, I'm going to go and settle the score with him."
"Ali, don't be impulsive."
"I am still impulsive? He called me a dog and you a dog. Now we are not only dogs, but also accomplices of traitors. How can we live as human beings in the future?"
"Ali, calm down. This might be a trap. We are all pawns right now. Don't act rashly."
Ding Li didn't listen to Xu Wenqiang. "Humph, Brother Wen won't go, then I'll do it alone."
Ding Li had already found out where Lu Qiubai lived.
Before Lu Qiubai came back at night, Ding Li rushed to Lu Qiubai's residence and sneaked in in advance, broke the light wires in Lu Qiubai's room, hid in the room, and waited for Lu Qiubai to come back to give him a fatal blow.
"Listen carefully, both of you. After killing someone, you must pour lamp oil on the place so that it looks like a fire. Do you understand?" Ah Xiang instructed the two killers.
"Don't worry, Uncle Xiang. This is not the first time we have done this. Don't worry, it will definitely look like an accidental fire." A killer patted his chest and said to A Xiang.
"Here's the money for you. After you're done, go hide outside for a while. I don't want to see you in Shanghai anytime soon."
"Uncle Xiang, I understand. Don't worry. We'll go to Guangzhou after we finish this job."
"Third brother, which chick are you looking for to have some fun with tonight?"
"Finish the work first, don't let your crotch get in the way and delay the important work."
"Okay, you're the elder brother, you have the final say."
"Get the lamp oil, let's find a place to hide first."
Zhang Dongliang has not been idle these days. He knows this plot. He has also been hanging around Lu Qiubai's residence recently. He must stop this assassination.
In order to adapt to this era, Zhang Dongliang specially modified an M1903 Springfield rifle and installed a silencer on it to be prepared.
Zhang Dongliang had already seen Ding Li sneaking into Lu Qiubai's residence, but he did not stop him. He was also patiently waiting for Lu Qiubai to return home.
He has been reminding Lu Qiubai to be careful, but Lu Qiubai didn't care. Today he wants to let him see with his own eyes that the danger is right beside him.
