Chapter 1668 What Are You Talking About?
Li Ziyang looked up at them, sighed, and handed the phone to them. "Take a look, this is the private job that instructor Qin Yuan mentioned."
Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin took the mobile phones and browsed the news content, and also showed surprised expressions. "This... this is a big case! The leader of the Zhou family is offering a reward of one million yuan! Ziyang, do we really want to take on this task?"
Li Ziyang nodded, his eyes firm. "Yes, I have decided. Although this task is difficult, as long as we work together, it is possible to succeed. Moreover, this is also a rare training opportunity for us."
Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that once Li Ziyang made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. Moreover, they are also full of curiosity and desire for this task.
"Okay, Ziyang, we will accompany you!" Yue Ming patted Li Ziyang's shoulder and said firmly.
Duan Jinglin also nodded to express his support. "Yes, we are a team. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face it together."
Li Ziyang looked at the two of them, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that with these two brothers by his side, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would be able to work together and overcome them together.
The next day.
In Qin Yuan's office, the lights were dim and warm, but there was also a serious atmosphere that should not be underestimated. The large maps and tactical charts hanging on the walls silently tell that the owner here is an experienced military strategist. At this moment, Qin Yuan was standing next to a table covered with case files and photos, his brows furrowed and his eyes as sharp as an eagle, examining every detail.
Li Ziyang, Yue Ming, and Duan Jinglin stood neatly in front of the table, their faces solemn and focused. Obviously, this task was much more complicated than they expected.
"Zi Yang, tell me about the information you found about the antique theft case." Qin Yuan's voice was low and powerful, breaking the silence in the room.
Li Ziyang immediately stepped forward, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the page he had queried before, and began to report: "Instructor, I checked the recent antique theft cases and found that the biggest case was the theft of the leading finger ring of the richest man Zhou's family. This The ring finger is not only priceless, but also a symbol of the Zhou family’s power. It is said that the Zhou family has offered a reward of one million to recover it.”
Qin Yuan nodded, glanced at the three people's faces, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is more difficult than we thought. It has been seven days since the antique was lost. It has not appeared on the black market, and no one has reported it to the Zhou family. Asking for payment is unusual."
Yue Ming scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "Instructor, who do you think did this? It can't be someone from outside, right? The Zhou family is the richest man, and their security measures must be very tight."
Qin Yuan shook his head and looked deeply: "No, I think it is more like someone inside the family did it. It is difficult for outsiders to have the opportunity to touch the faucet and pull the finger, let alone take it away quietly. ”
Duan Jinglin frowned when he heard this: "Within the family? Who could it be? There are so many people in the Zhou family, how can we check?"
Qin Yuan stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the table. His tone was cold and firm: "My main suspects are the three sons of the Zhou family - the eldest son Zhou Min, the second son Zhou Shi, and the third son Zhou Meng. Each of them Everyone may take action for power or wealth. In addition, our employer this time, Zhou Meier, the third granddaughter of the Zhou family, cannot be ignored. Although she is a woman, she also has a certain status and influence in the Zhou family. "
Li Ziyang was stunned and asked in surprise: "Instructor, are you saying that Zhou Meier may also be a suspect? But why did she hire us to retrieve the thumb ring? Isn't this a contradiction?"
Qin Yuan sneered, and a glint flashed in his eyes: "Contradictory? Not necessarily. Maybe she just wants to use our hands to find out the truth, or cover up her own crimes. Don't forget, in this circle, nothing is Impossible."
When Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin heard this, they both showed expressions of sudden realization. They had only regarded Zhou Meier as a simple employer before, but they did not expect that she might also be a key figure in this crisis.
"Then what should we do now?" Duan Jinglin asked, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "We need to split up. Ziyang, go investigate Zhou Min and Zhou Shi to see if they have any unusual behavior recently. Yue Ming, go keep an eye on Zhou Meng, he is People are impulsive and may reveal some clues. Jing Lin, go and see if you can get any useful information from her. Remember, be careful and don't jump into trouble."
When the three heard the words, they immediately nodded to express their understanding. They knew that this mission was not only related to their honor and dignity, but also related to the future and stability of the Zhou family. If they can successfully retrieve the leading finger and reveal the truth, then they will receive the gratitude and appreciation of the Zhou family; but if they fail, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Instructor, we will be careful." Li Ziyang said firmly, his eyes full of determination and courage.
Qin Yuan looked at the three of them, filled with relief and expectation. He knew that although these three young men were young, they all had great potential and perseverance. As long as they persist, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges.
"Okay, go ahead. I'm waiting for your good news." Qin Yuan waved his hand, indicating that the three of them could leave.
In order to get close to Zhou Min and Zhou Shi, Zhou Meier used her resources and connections within the Zhou family to carefully plan a new identity for Li Ziyang - a consultant for a well-known security company. This identity not only allows Li Ziyang to enter the Zhou family legitimately, but also allows him to have more convenience and cover during the investigation process.
Zhou Meier made an appointment with Li Ziyang on a sunny afternoon, and the location was chosen in a high-end coffee shop owned by the Zhou family. The sunlight shone on the two of them through the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a sense of mystery to this secret meeting.
"Ziyang, this is your new identity information." Zhou Meier handed a delicate folder to Li Ziyang, which contained his new identity certificate, work permit and a detailed background introduction to the security company.
Li Ziyang took the folder and read the contents carefully. He couldn't help but admire Zhou Meier's thoughtful arrangements. "Meier, you are so attentive. With this identity, I should be able to get closer to Zhou Min and Zhou Shi more easily."
Zhou Meier smiled slightly, her eyes shining with wisdom. "Yes, this identity allows you to walk freely within the Zhou family without attracting too much attention. However, you have to be careful and don't let them notice your true purpose." Li Ziyang nodded and handed over the document She put the folder away and then looked up at Zhou Meier. "Mei'er, don't worry, I will be careful. By the way, do you have any special knowledge about Zhou Min and Zhou Shi? For example, their personalities, preferences, etc."
Zhou Meier thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Zhou Min is the eldest son. He has a calm personality and is cautious in doing things. He is a powerful figure within the Zhou family. Zhou Shi is relatively younger. He has a lively personality and likes to be sociable, but he is not very good at family affairs. They don’t have much say in the matter. However, they both have one thing in common, that is, they attach great importance to the interests of the family.”
Hearing this, Li Ziyang nodded thoughtfully. "I understand. I will start with their personality traits and see if I can find any clues."
In the days that followed, Li Ziyang frequently appeared inside the Zhou family as a consultant to the security company. He first contacted Zhou Min on the grounds of checking the Zhou family's security system. During the conversation, Li Ziyang discovered that Zhou Min was indeed as Zhou Meier said, with a calm personality and handled family affairs in an orderly manner. However, when talking about the theft of the faucet finger, Zhou Min behaved extremely calmly and seemed not too concerned about the matter.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any opinion on the theft of the faucet finger?" Li Ziyang asked tentatively.
Zhou Min glanced at Li Ziyang indifferently, and then replied: "I have handed this matter over to the police. I believe they will give me a satisfactory answer. As for the rest, I don't want to say more."
Seeing this, Li Ziyang knew that there would be no results if he continued to ask, so he had to change the topic. In the next few days, he approached Zhou Shi again in the same way. Unlike Zhou Min, Zhou Shi showed great enthusiasm for Li Ziyang's arrival. Not only did he take Li Ziyang to visit every corner of the Zhou family, he also took the initiative to introduce the family's history and culture to him.
"Zi Yang, you are a distinguished guest in our family!" Zhou Shi patted Li Ziyang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you need any help in the future, just tell me!"
Li Ziyang smiled and nodded, but he had some reservations about Zhou Shi's enthusiasm. He knew that in a big family like the Zhou family, everyone kept their secrets secret. So, in the following days, he began to observe Zhou Shi's every move more carefully, trying to find any clues.
However, after a period of contact and investigation, Li Ziyang did not find any unusual behavior in Zhou Min and Zhou Shi. Both of them behaved very normally, neither showing excessive concern for the faucet trigger nor any suspicious behavior. This made Li Ziyang feel a little confused and frustrated.
One night, Li Ziyang was sitting alone in his dormitory, looking at the survey data in his hands and frowning. He really couldn't figure out why Zhou Min and Zhou Shi faced the theft of the dragon's head and finger so calmly. Do they really have nothing to do with this?
Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang. Looking at the screen, it turned out to be a call from Zhou Meier.
"Ziyang, how's the progress going there?" Zhou Meier's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of concern.
Li Ziyang sighed and told Zhou Meier about his investigation. "Meier, I contacted Zhou Min and Zhou Shi, but they both behaved very normally. I didn't find any suspicious clues."
After hearing this, Zhou Meier was silent for a while, and then said: "Ziyang, don't be too anxious. After all, this matter involves a dispute within the family, and it cannot be found out so easily. However, I believe that as long as you persist, you will definitely succeed. The truth will be found.”
Li Ziyang nodded, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that no matter what difficulties he encountered, Zhou Meier would be his strongest support. So, he cheered up and decided to continue investigating further.
In the days that followed, Li Ziyang began to dig deeper into the Zhou family's internal information.
other side.
Due to the assassination attempt on the high seas cruise ship last time Zhou Meir was assassinated, the Zhou family attaches great importance to security issues. Zhou Meng, as the third son of the Zhou family, is usually impulsive, but he is extremely cautious in this matter. He knows that as a member of the family, he may also become the target of some lawless people. So, under Zhou Meir's recommendation, Yue Ming, an extraordinary and experienced bodyguard, naturally became Zhou Meng's personal guard.
On this day, the sun was shining and the breeze was not dry, which was a good day for playing golf. Zhou Meng made an appointment with several business friends early in the morning and prepared to show his skills on the golf course. Yue Ming followed Zhou Meng closely, always keeping vigilant.
The golf course is located in an open area on the outskirts of the city, with green trees and neatly trimmed lawns. Zhou Meng and his friends put on professional equipment and started a fierce game. Yue Ming stood not far away, with a sharp gaze, scanning the surroundings to ensure that no suspicious people approached.
However, just when the game was halfway through, a discordant voice broke the quiet atmosphere. Several seemingly idle people were chatting on the side of the court. Their voices were not loud, but their words revealed some rumors about the power struggle of the Zhou family.
"Have you heard? The theft of the dragon head ring in the Zhou family is said to be related to the power struggle within the family." One of them whispered.
"Yes, I heard that Zhou Min and Zhou Shi are secretly competing for control of the family." Another person echoed.
These words happened to be heard by Zhou Meng, and he was immediately furious. He felt that these people were talking about the right and wrong of his family behind his back, which was simply an insult to the Zhou family. He suddenly put down the club and strode towards those people.
"What are you talking about? Say it again if you have the guts!" Zhou Meng's voice was like thunder, and those people looked at each other in fear, at a loss.
One of them continued with courage: "We just told the truth. The power struggle within the Zhou family is no secret."
This sentence completely angered Zhou Meng, and he raised his fist, ready to teach the other party a lesson. Seeing this, Yue Ming immediately rushed forward to stop Zhou Meng's impulsive behavior. However, Zhou Meng had lost his mind and punched the other party.
The other party was not a vegetarian either, and immediately fought back. The two of them wrestled together, and the scene was in chaos. Yue Ming was quick-witted and quickly inserted himself between the two, blocking Zhou Meng's attack with his body, and at the same time subdued the other party to the ground with his backhand.
