The Investors

Chapter 10: CCTV King Palace Hotel Broken?

An atmosphere of grief enveloped the audience at Nanping's public funeral that afternoon. Nearly a thousand people attended Gao Li Liang's funeral which led to the funeral being overcrowded. Most of the people present were members of Hei Laohu Association, Xiongmeng de Shizi Association and Bao Society. These three underground organizations although on the surface look like they do not get along, but they have mutual respect for each other.

Among these attendees were also the wealthy people of Nanping City, including Hao Zhao. The relationship between underground rulers and wealthy businessmen is inseparable, they have been complementary, so on this occasion they also paid their last respects at Gao Li Liang's funeral.

Everyone knows the cause of Gao Li Liang's death from being killed by people, but no one will bring this fact to the surface. These underground groups do not like their business to be meddled by the police. If the real cause of death of Gao Li Liang is sniffed by the police, then they can no longer avenge the culprit. They have their own way of solving problems, they have their own laws, namely the debt of life paid for by life.

Since last night until now never once Cia Yonggan moved from the side of Gao Mei Gui. The girl did look tough, but Cia Yonggan realized that she was currently feeling a deep wound. Although he did not recognize Gao Mei Gui before, he could guess that this girl was now an orphan like him, because from last night he never saw Gao Mei Gui accompanied by a mother. They must be fateful.

The tears were no longer flowing, leaving only the eyes. The suffering can be lost, but the wound cannot be erased.

Now one by one the mourners have started to leave the cemetery, but hundreds of members of the three underground societies are still on guard there.

Hong Gan, the Chairman of the Bao Society and Kang Fang the Chairman of the Xiongmeng de Shizi Society approached Wei Chung, Ou Julong, Guan Zheng and Po who.

Hong Gan glanced at Gao Mei Gui who was still standing in front of his father's grave with the young man who had never left his side. He guessed, the young man must be the girlfriend of Gao Li Li Liang's late son.

Hong Gan asked these Gao Li Li Liang confidants. "Have you found any clues as to the mastermind behind all this?"

"Chairman Hong, we're still trying to find out, but haven't found a single clue who did it yet. While at the time of the incident, the CCTV at the King Palace Hotel at that time was having a disturbance," Wei Chung hurriedly explained.

Ou Julong who was listening to this glanced towards Wei Chung. What did Wei Chung mean by saying the CCTV in King Palace was being disrupted during the event? Clearly he had already seen the recording with Hao Zhao.

But just as he was about to protest, he saw Cia Yonggan giving a gesture of silence. Then he restrained himself. It was good for him to follow Cia Yonggan's cue, fearing that it would cause this mourning event to be noisier.

"If the Hei Laohu Society needs help, we Bao people are willing to help so that this puzzle is revealed soon," Hong Gan said in a pleasant conversation.

Wei Chung responded hurriedly. "Chairman Hong, don't be too shy. Later if we need your help, we'll say it."

"Well, as soon as we go first. See you all," said Hong Gan slightly bowed and walked away from the funeral followed by dozens of members.

Afterwards the Chairman of the Xiongmeng de Shizi Society, Kang Fang came over while saying. "Life is not eternal. But the way that Gao's brother left caused a wound in my heart. I swear to bring the culprit to justice, even though you Hei Laohu people didn't ask for it. Me and brother Gao once bled each other before the peaceful declaration of division of territory."

"Chairman Kang..." Wei Chung wanted to respond, but did not know what to say.

"Wei Chung, and my brothers, take good care of yourself, the killer is still out there. We're all not safe before the killer is found" he said, hinting at his members to pass.

After they left, Po Yang disbanded and ordered his members to return to their respective jobs.

While Guan Zheng came over to Gao Mei Gui and took out a jewelry box.

"Mei Gui, this is the birthday gift from your father that he has prepared and has not had time to give to you. I as your uncle represent him to give to you" said Guan Zheng.

This Guan Zheng was large in stature and looked calm.

Gao Mei Gui glanced for a moment at the red jewelry box. She was actually not interested in receiving a present like this, but anyway it was her birthday present, the last gift from her father, then she reached out to receive the jewelry box.

"Uncle Guan, thank you. I'll keep it as a memento" Gao Mei Gui kept the box in her shirt pocket.

"Do you not want to open the box here?" guan Zheng said again.

"No uncle, I will open it later," Gao Mei Gui chimed in firmly.

Wei Chung opened his voice. "Mei Gui, you don't get so sad. Soon you and Wei Heng will graduate from university. You better focus on your final task."

"Okay uncle, I listened to your advice" replied Gao Mei Gui.

"Julong, you bring Mei Gui home after this," Wei Chung said again. And then he added. "Later in the evening we gathered at the headquarters to discuss in case there was any clue who the people who had dared to make a fuss here were. If you're willing, you can come, Mei Gui."

Gao Mei Gui replied.

"Uncle you guys, I understand this is the risk my father must take. As a child, it was appropriate for me to also find out who did it, but I was just a woman, and my father's underground society was none of my business. So I gave everything to uncle. I'm sure you'll do your best" Gao Mei Gui said as he looked at the people's faces.

"Well, you just trust us on this. Later if the culprit has been found, I promise I will bring the person to you," Wei Chung assured.

Ou Julong was silent. He still could not figure out why Cia Yonggan was hinting him to shut up. Then he slowly inched closer to the young man's side, looking for an opportunity to ask him directly.

While Cia Yonggan only slightly nodded at him as he realized the fat man was coming closer to him.

"Mei Gui, you haven't introduced this young man to us yet," Wei Chung asked the young man while looking at him intently.

"Uncle, he..." Gao Mei Gui who was asked suddenly became nervous, he was confused to introduce this young man, because indeed the young man had nothing to do with him or his father at all.

Seeing the nervous Gao Mei Gui, Cia Yonggan took over.

"My name is Cia Yonggan. I had known the deceased even though only a moment before he died," said Cia Yonggan not cover up.

He met Gao Li Liang before he died.

"Every night Ou Julong and I saw you fighting with someone at the site where our late leader found, did you know that person, and why did you fight with him?" Wei Chung was trying to dig up information on whether this young man recognized the person he referred to as Master Mo.

If this young man knew the identity of Master Mo, then it was likely that the dirty tricks he had compiled would soon be exposed in the hands of this young man.

Cia Yonggan who knew what Wei Chung meant was deliberately playing around. "I don't hit them. I came when Uncle Gao was already helpless. I don't know why the five attacked me. And... Oh yes, if I don't remember wrongly, someone called the leader Master Mo, but I don't know his name. I don't know what Mo."

And his words successfully made Wei Chung's face turn black green, while Ou Julong, Guan Zheng and Po Yang looked shocked. They had never heard of someone named Master Mo all along.

"Damn it, this young man already knows the clan of Master Mo," he whispered inwardly. But he hurriedly said on the surface. "Ah, this is a clue, one day we will find out who the person surnamed Mo really is. Thanks for this information,"

Wei Chung clenched his hands, as if he really wanted to show that the information he had obtained was an important clue.

These two people both had a bad impression of each other. Wei Chung, who did not want this young man to expose Master Mo too much, intended to end the conversation.

"Then we say goodbye, after this there is still a lot of business to be done. Mei Gui, you take good care of yourself" he said without waiting for an immediate answer to pass from there

Then Po Yang and Guan Zheng also said goodbye to Gao Mei Gui.

From a distance, a young man like Gao Mei Gui kept looking at the young man standing flanked by Gao Mei Gui and Ou Julong. His eyes implied a blind jealousy towards Cia Yonggan, he seemed to dislike the presence of the young man beside Gao Mei Gui.

Seeing Wei Chung who was slowly walking closer towards him, he immediately caught up with the man while exclaiming. "Dad, who is that young man with Mei Gui?"

While still walking, Wei Chung gestured to the young man who turned out to be his son. "Sttts... Wei Heng, you don't ask much questions first, I have a duty for you, we will talk again. Let's go home."
