Chapter 386 The Secret of Jin Chengdong
Gu Nankai's eyes were terribly heavy. He looked at Jin Chengdong's photo, then nodded slowly: "Yes, there is an inseparable relationship."
He took a breath and continued, "The Jin Chengdong in the photo is the Dong Ye that Gao Yuan found out about, and he is also the person in charge of the Macau Casino."
He looked at everyone and said, "Although we couldn't reach out that far at the beginning, and besides, this Master Dong had little to do with the death of Sheng Yuandong and the others, we should have only to find out that their company was linked to the Macau casino, and if we continued to investigate, there would definitely be some obstacles. But I was still worried, so I asked someone to check this Master Dong privately."
He paused and said, "The Dong Ye I found is the same person as the Jin Chengdong in the files we have now."
When Gu Nankai said this, everyone was extremely shocked. Three boys even stood up from their seats out of shock, with disbelief in their eyes. Gao Yuan immediately said, "Boss, is it true that Jin Chengdong went to a Macau casino after he was released from prison?"
Gao Yuan quickly thought of what he had learned at that time, and immediately spoke again: "Although you can't judge a person by his appearance, but I vaguely remember that I asked someone to help me find out about this Dong Ye. It was said that he was a gangster, and he was also ruthless, so he was very popular in Macau. But this kind of person... has nothing to do with things like San Ge's international patents."
Yes, any discerning person would think that this person has nothing to do with the three international patents. With a little thought, it would be clear why the three international patents exist.
Gu Nankai's eyes were filled with contemplation, and his brain was working rapidly. He was thinking about Jin Chengdong's purpose of being eager to get out of prison, his true relationship with the Macau casino, and even more so, whether this series of relationships, from Jin Chengdong being imprisoned to being quickly released to becoming a big shot in the Macau casino, was related to the case three years ago, and even more, whether all this was just a setup.
The situation began to unfold when Jin Chengdong was imprisoned.
"It's not related." After thinking for a while, Gu Nankai finally spoke.
"I only now truly feel that there were too many strange things about what happened three years ago." He added, his eyes slowly falling on a certain place on the table. He felt a little annoyed in his heart. Why hadn't he checked this matter in the past three years? Why hadn't he cared about it in the past three years? Why had he fallen into sadness and muddled along from the very beginning?
If he had started to face and find out the truth earlier, wouldn't everything be different today? Would Zhang Qingqing and Zhao Zhengrong not be like this now?
Wu Qingluan seemed to see the annoyance on his face. She coughed calmly and then said, "It's good for us to find strange places. Isn't our goal now to find as many things that are wrong as possible three years ago?"
Gu Nankai came back to his senses at her voice, and then he said, "All the people were arrested three years ago. We can't seem to find anything strange in that case now. If there is something wrong, it can only be that Arong was framed. Now that I think about it, the case was about to be closed, why did they go to the trouble of framing Arong?"
As he said this, he already had the answer in his mind, and Gao Yuan and Cao Cang had also thought of something. The three of them looked at each other and said solemnly, "Their goal is to kill Zhao Shengrong."
After the three of them finished speaking, Cao Cang added, "Even if their ultimate goal is not to kill Senior Brother Zhao, they will definitely threaten everything he has. And by doing this... is it because Senior Brother Zhao has some kind of obstacle that makes them want to attack Senior Brother Zhao?"
This is the most reasonable explanation given by his mother. Gu Nankai has thought about it over and over again in the past few days. The other party would not do this simply because they wanted to deal with Arong at that time. That would be too much of a waste of effort. And they were able to spare the time to do that to Zhao Zhengrong at that juncture. There must be a reason why Zhao Zhengrong had to die.
And why did Zhao Zhengrong force himself to kill him, or kill Zhang Qingqing in the end?
Gu Nankai's face was gloomy. He sat down in silence and then told everyone what he had just been thinking. When he asked his last question, everyone fell into deep thought.
After a long time, everyone made a slight sound.
Wu Qingluan slowly began to guide everyone: "We have two choices: the consequences of Zhang Qingqing's death and the consequences of Zhao Zhengrong's death."
After she said that, Gu Nankai quickly followed this line. He murmured, "What if Zhang Qingqing died? Under the circumstances at that time, what consequences would her death have caused? Me or Arong? I still don't know what the relationship between them is. Let's not talk about this for now. If Zhang Qingqing died at that time, the person who would suffer the most should be me. If we assume that there was true love between them, then why did Arong force me to kill one of them?"
After he finished speaking, Cao Cang continued his words, "So in my opinion, Zhang Qingqing seems to be a very strange existence in this matter. It is said that there is some kind of relationship between her and Senior Brother Zhao, but Senior Brother Zhao insisted on choosing between him and her. I always feel that Senior Brother Zhao is not someone who deliberately uses Zhang Qingqing to threaten you, the boss. There is no huge and irreconcilable conflict between you because of Zhang Qingqing. If he wants to deal with you, it is basically impossible."
Cao Cang said this while looking at Gu Nankai, then he pursed his lips and continued, "Speaking of Senior Brother Zhao, if he died, the blow to you, Boss, is almost foreseeable. You are the best friends and the best partners, and you have too many unparalleled tacit understandings. So, the death of Senior Brother Zhao is a huge blow to you, to your team, and even to the Longhai Criminal Police Brigade. We have also seen the consequences. After Senior Brother Zhao fell into the sea, you, Boss, were unable to recover for three years, and the Longhai Criminal Police Brigade gradually became the laughing stock of the entire criminal police industry. It was not until three years later that Director Chen asked you to come back that we have reached this point today. If this is what the enemy wants to do."
He paused and explained again: "I mean, if Senior Brother Zhao's death was planned by the enemy, then their goal was to attack you, or to attack your group. If Senior Brother Zhao was forced to die, then why did he die..."
Cao Cang always felt that they could see the motives behind some things, but when they really said it out loud, they felt extremely blank.
Gu Nankai's voice came out slowly at this time. He continued Cao Cang's words with a tense face and said solemnly: "Perhaps it was because, at that moment, he had to make that choice to protect me from further harm. After all ..."
After all, it was not Gu Nankai who fired that shot. Even though Zhao Zhengrong kept forcing him to make a choice and insisted that one of him and Zhang Qingqing die, the final choice was still made by Zhao Zhengrong. He shot himself, so he knew at that time that Gu Nankai would not make a choice. He had already decided what the final result would be from the beginning to the end.
He didn't say this half of the sentence, because at this point, everyone could figure it out with just a little thought.
