Chapter 204 Mysterious Map!
Rong Xi held the mysterious map, and his heart was filled with ripples. This was not only a clue, but also a trap. But no matter what, he had to find out the truth.
"Get ready, we will take action tomorrow night." Rong Xi said to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li nodded without asking any more questions. He knew that Rong Xi must have his reasons for making the decision.
As night fell, Rong Xi led a capable team and quietly came to the location marked on the map. It was a desolate abandoned factory, and the dilapidated factory building looked even more gloomy under the moonlight.
"Everyone be careful, there may be a trap here." Rong Xi reminded in a low voice.
They walked carefully through the ruins, and suddenly, a slight noise caught Rongxi's attention.
"Who's there?" Rong Xi shouted.
A dark shadow flashed out from the darkness, holding a dagger in his hand, and rushed towards Rong Xi and the others.
Rong Xi dodged the opponent's attack by turning sideways and at the same time punched the opponent in the abdomen, subduing him.
"Tell me, who are you? Why are you here?" Rong Xi asked coldly.
"Haha, do you think you can crack the secret of the puppet?" Although the man was subdued, a strange smile appeared on his face, "You have fallen into the trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, strong lights suddenly lit up around him, and a group of men in black surrounded him from all directions.
"Rong Xi, you are finally here." A familiar voice sounded in the darkness!
"You're not dead?"
This person is the one who planned the treasure hunt for me!
"Yes, I'm not dead." The man sneered, "Are you disappointed?"
Rong Xi's eyes were stern, "You left clues on purpose just to lure me here?"
"That's right." The man admitted frankly, "I knew you would come. You really want to reveal the true face of the puppet."
"So, you used this to set up a trap?" Rong Xi's tone revealed a hint of anger.
“You can say that.” The man smiled, “But don’t be angry. This game is not just to trick you, but also to make you see the truth.”
"The truth?" Rong Xi frowned, "What truth?"
"The truth about Puppet Shadow." The man said mysteriously, "You think you know Puppet Shadow, but in fact you only see the tip of the iceberg."
Rong Xi didn't say anything, just looked at the other person coldly. He knew that it was useless to say more at this time, and he could only wait for the other party's next words.
"Puppet Shadow is not a simple organization." The man continued, "There are more complex forces behind it. And I am just a pawn in it."
"Are you saying this to win my sympathy?" Rong Xi laughed sarcastically.
"No, I just want you to understand that your real enemy is not me." The man said seriously, "but the force hidden behind the puppet."
Rong Xi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "So, can you tell me who that force is?"
The man shook his head. "You're about to die, does this matter?"
He said with a proud look!
"Is it Uncle Kong!?"
Rongxi said that person with a little trembling!
"No, no, no, Uncle Kong, he doesn't have to do anything to you!" But that person actually denied Rong Xi's answer!
The man looked at Rong Xi, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Uncle Kong? Hahaha, you thought of him? But you guessed wrong this time."
Rong Xi's eyes narrowed, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. Could it not be Uncle Kong? Who was the person behind this?
"Want to know who the big boss behind this is?" The man smiled and said slowly, "I actually want to know too, but unfortunately, my level is too low to get in touch with him."
Rong Xi frowned, feeling very uncomfortable with being teased. "So what do you know?"
"I know a lot." The man smiled proudly, "For example, the real purpose of the puppets and why they chose you as their target."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Rong Xi said coldly, trying to remain calm.
The man didn't rush to answer, but looked around, as if to make sure the surroundings were safe. "This is not a place to talk, how about we go somewhere else?"
Rong Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you lead the way."
They came to an abandoned warehouse, and the man found a clean place to sit down and began to tell everything he knew.
"Puppet Shadow is actually a mysterious organization that has existed for many years." He said slowly, "Their purpose is far more than simple criminal activities, but they have more far-reaching plans."
"What plan?" Rong Xi couldn't help but ask.
"The Rong family has occupied the Chamber of Commerce for too long!" the man said grimly!
"Are you here for the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's for sure. Only by controlling you will the old man in your family give up the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce!" It seemed that every word from that man made people feel a sinister feeling!
"You guys are really good at calculating." Rong Xi said coldly, with a mocking look on his face, "Do you think that by controlling me, you can control the entire Rong family and the Chamber of Commerce? That's just wishful thinking."
"Humph, whether it's just wishful thinking or not, you will soon find out." The man snorted, "Besides, we don't intend to control you directly, but... make you disappear."
The atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became tense, as if even the air had frozen. Rong Xi's pupils shrank when he heard this, but he remained calm, "Oh? You want me to disappear? That depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
"Hahaha, you are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger." The man stood up and walked in front of Rong Xi. "However, I admire your courage. However, admiration does not mean that I will let you go."
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Rong Xi. "Now, you have two choices. One is to cooperate with us and let your family give up the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce; the other is... I will send you off now."
Faced with this sudden threat, Rong Xi did not seem too panicked. He looked at the man deeply, then slowly said, "Do you think you can threaten me in this way? You are underestimating the Rong family."
"Humph, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die." The man sneered, "Since you are so ignorant of the current situation, don't blame me for being rude."
As he said that, he was about to pull the trigger!
"Bang, bang! After two gunshots, the man fell down!"
"You are too young to fight with me!"
Rong Xi looked at the person on the ground and said!
The person who fired the shot was Rong Xi's men, he had already made plans!
It’s a pity that Rong Xi couldn’t get what he wanted from this person!
.......
At this time, Tong Luoluo, Rong Xi, Qingying and others were worrying about the project, because according to the schedule, they should have handed over the project for acceptance by now, but because of the previous incident with the ancient tomb, the construction period was delayed by at least half a month!
"What should we do? The other party said they would deduct 50 yuan from our project payment!" Rong Yu asked Tong Luoluo!
"Don't worry, let's see who on the other side is responsible for this settlement!"
Tong Luoluo has become more experienced after more than half a year of training!
As soon as Tong Luoluo finished speaking, Rong Yu frowned and looked a little anxious: "Luoluo, the other party has a tough attitude and time is running out. We have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
Qingying also interrupted at this time: "Yes, this project fee is not a small amount for us. Once it is deducted, the company's capital chain will be strained."
Rong Xi looked at the two people's anxious expressions, took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, let's calm down and analyze the situation first."
He turned to Tong Luoluo and said, "Luoluo, go check who is in charge of this settlement and see if there is any breakthrough."
Tong Luoluo nodded and immediately turned on the computer to start searching.
Qingying looked at Rongxi worriedly: "Brother Xi, do you think this incident has anything to do with Guiying?"
Rong Xi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It's hard to say, but I feel that there is more to this matter than meets the eye. However, we have to solve the current trouble first."
At this moment, Tong Luoluo suddenly exclaimed: "Found it! The person in charge of this settlement is the other party's deputy general manager, named Li Hu."
Rong Xi immediately asked, "What is the background of this Li Hu? Is he related to Guiying?"
Tong Luoluo shook his head: "So far, we haven't found any direct relationship between him and Guiying, but he did have contact with our competitors before."
Rong Xi frowned: "Competitor? Could it be..."
"That's right, it's the guy from the Kong family!" Tong Luoluo added.
Rong Xi's heart moved. It seemed that the Kong family had something to do with this incident. He immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and meet this Li Hu."
The three of them quickly left the office and drove to Li Hu's residence. Along the way, Rong Xi was thinking about how to deal with Li Hu and how to get more information about Guiying from him.
Arriving at Li Hu's residence, Rong Xi and the other two knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and a burly middle-aged man appeared at the door. It was Li Hu.
"Who are you looking for?" Li Hu looked at the three people warily.
Rong Xi smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Li. We are from Rong Group and would like to talk to you about the project settlement."
Li Hu frowned: "Construction settlement? Isn't it overdue? What else is there to discuss?"
Rong Xi said calmly: "Yes, we are indeed overdue, but we are willing to bear all the losses incurred. However, we hope to talk to you in person to see if we can find a solution that both parties can accept."
Li Hu hesitated for a moment, then let the three people into the house.
After sitting down, Rong Xi said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, we know that you are very dissatisfied with this matter, but we are also helpless. We are willing to bear all responsibilities and pay the corresponding liquidated damages. However, this 50 project payment is very important to us, and I hope you can be more generous."
Li Hu sneered: "Please show mercy? Do you think I will let you go so easily?"
Rong Xi did not get angry, but continued to explain patiently: "Mr. Li, we know that you have some friendship with the Kong family, but this incident has nothing to do with the Kong family. Our Rong Group has always adhered to the principle of honest business, and I hope you can give us a chance."
Li Hu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Well, since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance. However, it is not so easy to get back the 50 yuan project payment."
Rong Xi's heart moved, knowing that there was a chance: "Then what do you want, Mr. Li?"
