Chapter 1031 See You Twenty Years Later
"What kind of crap is this!"
Song Chaoyuan thought to himself, shook his head and sighed, then thought of something and asked, "What about this child? How is he being treated now? Did the Zhao family or the Zhang family take him back?"
"It's too late for the Zhao family to sever ties with the Zhang family. Not to mention that we can't be sure whether the child is Zhao Minglei's, even if it is Zhang Liming's, it is impossible to arrange it!" Luo Yang also shook his head and said, "There is nothing we can do about this matter, but the child should be fine. He is in Hong Kong and his family has assets. He will definitely have no problem living. But then again, the child is only in his teens. His nominal father is now waiting to eat peanuts, and his biological mother is missing. With such a large family fortune, few people are not jealous. Who can guarantee what the future will be like?"
Hearing this, Song Chaoyuan agreed with Luo Yang's opinion. Since the Xiangjiang man was born in the underworld, and many of the businesses he had done in recent years were half-shady, plus how he retaliated against Zhao Minglei, we can see some problems. Now Wang Juan's whereabouts are unknown, and the Xiangjiang man is detained in the mainland waiting for the final outcome. Once this happened, I'm afraid someone has already set their sights on his property. How can a child who is not yet an adult in his teens protect it without anyone to rely on?
Sighing, Song Chaoyuan felt a little sorry for this innocent child, but then again, it was impossible for Song Chaoyuan to care about this matter. According to Luo Yang, no matter who the child belonged to, the Zhao family and the Zhang family should step forward, not to mention Wang Juan's mother's family. If they didn't care, why should Song Chaoyuan, an outsider, worry about it?
"Oh, I almost forgot something." Luo Yang patted his head and seemed to remember something, and said to Song Chaoyuan, "After explaining the relevant matters, the Hong Kong man also mentioned a situation, which I think you will be interested in."
"What's going on?"
"Do you know who this Hong Kong guy is?"
"who?"
"His name in Hong Kong is Han Shaoqiang, but this name is fake. His real name is Zhang Bin. He is from Shanghai. He got into trouble in Shanghai a few years ago and ran away. Before running to Hong Kong, he also stayed in Yangcheng and Pengcheng. Especially when he was in Pengcheng, he kidnapped someone. This incident caused a big stir back then..."
"Wait! What did you say? What's his name? Zhang Bin?" Song Chaoyuan's eyes widened instantly, with an expression of disbelief.
Luo Yang didn't say anything, but he nodded very seriously. This was the real reason why he told Song Chaoyuan about this today.
Luo Yang and Zhang Bin actually had no intersection, and they had never even met each other. But he knew Zhang Bin because he had heard of this name when Gu Jie, Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo were chatting.
Especially when Qin Zhengguo was kidnapped in Pengcheng and almost lost his life, and it was finally found out that the person who kidnapped him was Zhang Bin, everyone felt that this world is really small.
After the kidnapping, Zhang Bin disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. Back then, Song Chaoyuan and his team had privately speculated that Zhang Bin might have taken a boat to Hong Kong, because according to the police investigation at the time, Zhang Bin had contact with several local boat captains before kidnapping Qin Zhengguo, and after the kidnapping, one of the boat captains went out to sea and never came back, and Zhang Bin also disappeared at that time.
Many years passed in a flash. Since Zhang Bin disappeared from Pengcheng, there has been no news of him. Gradually, everyone forgot about this matter.
But unexpectedly, he heard Zhang Bin's name again from Luo Yang today, and he was involved in such a complicated relationship with Zhang Liming, Zhao Minglei and Wang Juan. For a moment, Song Chaoyuan didn't know what to say.
"Are you sure this person is Zhang Bin?" Song Chaoyuan asked with a frown.
Luo Yang took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Song Chaoyuan. After Song Chaoyuan took it and looked at it, it was a recent photo of a fat man. This fat man looked fatter than Qin Zhengguo. He was wearing a suit and sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, smiling and looking very happy.
"Is this Zhang Bin?" Song Chaoyuan asked with a frown as he looked at the person in the photo.
"It's him. I specially asked someone to get it for me. Can you see if he is the Zhang Bin you know?" Luo Yang said.
Song Chaoyuan looked left and right for a long time, and felt that his features seemed somewhat similar, but he was not sure. After all, he and Zhang Bin had not seen each other for many years, and Zhang Bin was very thin when he left Shanghai. Now the fat man in the photo seemed to weigh at least 300 pounds, so he was not sure for a moment.
"Has he been sentenced now?" Song Chaoyuan asked.
"He's still in the detention center, but he'll be out soon!" Luo Yang said, "This case is not a small one, and there are instructions from above. He will definitely be punished. I estimate the final result will come out in the next few days."
"Where are they being held?"
"Why? Are you planning to meet him?"
"I have this idea." Song Chaoyuan sighed and said, "Whether he is the Zhang Bin I know or not, I have to confirm it. This photo doesn't show anything special. It would be best if I could meet him in person."
"Are you meeting it alone or...?" Luo Yang asked, pointing inside with his hand.
Song Chaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go alone. Don't tell Daqi Zhengguo and the others about this."
"Got it!" Luo Yang nodded, made a wait gesture, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected, Luo Yang chatted with the person on the other end of the phone with a smile, and then asked about Zhang Bin. After a while, he hung up the phone and said to Song Chaoyuan: "If you want to see him, you have to do it as soon as possible. My friend told me that the results will come out in the next two days, and the results will be implemented immediately. If you are late, you won't be able to see him."
Song Chaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if it's convenient for you to go there tomorrow, please help me say hello to them."
"I'll go with you."
"Thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? It's nothing." Luo Yang waved his hand and said to Song Chaoyuan, "Okay, let's go in. If we don't go back after being out for so long, they will look for us."
"OK!"
As they talked, the two turned around and walked back. On the way back, Song Chaoyuan was still thinking about Zhang Bin. Was this Zhang Bin who was about to eat peanuts the Zhang Bin he knew? Song Chaoyuan was a little unsure for a moment.
The next morning, Song Chaoyuan and Luo Yang rushed to the airport and took the fastest flight to the north.
Zhang Bin was captured in Guangzhou when he entered the mainland from Hong Kong. He was later sent to Yanjing for detention and interrogation. Some things were brought up during the interrogation and he was transferred to Changshan for other reasons. He is now being detained in Changshan.
The plane arrived directly at Changshan Airport. It was almost noon when we got off the plane. Luo Yang arranged a car and driver in advance.
After picking them up, they drove to the city and found a place to eat something. During the meal, Luo Yang made a phone call, and when he came back, he made an OK gesture to Song Chaoyuan.
Song Chaoyuan nodded, and after eating, they took a short rest. When the time was almost right, they got in the car, which drove steadily towards the detention center, arriving on time just after two o'clock.
With Luo Yang around, the rest went smoothly. After completing the required formalities, Song Chaoyuan and Luo Yang successfully entered the detention center and waited in a room.
After waiting for a while, the sound of iron chains dragging on the floor was heard in the corridor. Soon the door opened and a man in prison clothes and handcuffs was brought in.
The man entered the room and immediately saw Song Chaoyuan and Luo Yang sitting there. His eyes swept over Luo Yang and finally landed on Song Chaoyuan, with a look of slight surprise, as if he was very surprised that Song Chaoyuan was here.
However, this surprise soon disappeared, replaced by emotion and relief.
"I didn't expect you to come to see me." Zhang Bin said.
Compared with the photo that Luo Yang took to Song Chaoyuan, Zhang Bin is now much thinner. Maybe it's because he's been locked up here. His chubby cheeks have obviously lost some flesh, and he doesn't look very energetic .
It was for this reason that when he walked in, Song Chaoyuan was also looking at him, and found the familiar expressions in his memory on his face. Especially when Zhang Bin started talking, Song Chaoyuan was completely sure that this person was indeed the Zhang Bin he knew.
"I just learned about your story yesterday, and I thought I should come and see you." Song Chaoyuan replied.
At this time, Zhang Bin also sat down and was handcuffed to the special chair. Not far behind him, a young comrade stood on guard.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking to see if it's me? Or are you looking at my miserable state?" Zhang Bin asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. Without waiting for Song Chaoyuan's answer, he continued, "Anyway, I'm still very happy that you can look at me. At least it's a pleasant surprise to see an old friend before leaving."
Zhang Bin seemed to be ready to face everything calmly. Although he was surprised by Song Chaoyuan's sudden appearance, he quickly calmed down.
"Do you smoke?" Song Chaoyuan asked.
"certainly!"
Song Chaoyuan took out a cigarette, and Luo Yang next to him stood up and handed the cigarette and a disposable lighter to the young comrade in the room. Perhaps because he had already greeted him , the comrade didn't say anything. He took the cigarette, looked at it, and after making sure it was okay, he took out one and put it in Zhang Bin's mouth, then used the lighter to light it for him.
Zhang Bin greedily took a big puff, then slowly exhaled the smoke. He said with a little satisfaction, "Is it Huazi? Hmm... it really is. I know this smell as soon as I smoke it. I still remember the first time I smoked Huazi. It was the first time in my life, and I bought Huazi with my own money. The smell is much better than Da Guangrong..."
Zhang Bin said with great emotion: "When I smoked Huazi for the first time, I said to myself that if I could smoke such good cigarettes every day in the future, my life would be worth it. It was also because of this idea that I later pulled Wang Jianjun to work alone, with the goal of making more money and making our lives better..."
"What a pity! I'm not as lucky as you. Not long after I started working, something like that happened. You know what happened afterwards. I couldn't stay in Shanghai, so I had to flee to the south. I haven't been back to Shanghai for so many years..."
As he spoke, Zhang Bin shook his head, looking unwilling, helpless and lost.
