Chapter 865: Marginal Characters
Lin Ran was good at observing words and expressions. Even if Song Wenbin said he didn't know him, his hesitation for that second undoubtedly betrayed his heart.
Sure enough, after Lin Ran said this, Song Wenbin was touched and stood in front of the driver's seat, but did not enter.
"You may be able to do whatever you want locally, but do you really dare not to take China seriously?"
Song Wenbin turned around and saw Lin Ran looking at him with cold eyes and a sense of oppression exuding from his body.
He had only seen this kind of momentum from his brother, so he was speechless for a moment.
Song Wenbin was naturally unwilling to be deprived of his power, and when he learned the true identity of the imprisoned person, his inner shock was indescribable.
The businesses their company engages in are all-encompassing, but in fact they are all on the sidelines, even directly outside the red line.
If you usually cause trouble, you can settle it by finding a relationship.
However, if they really offend such a big shot, their company will be wiped out.
However, he also has difficulties.
If you say it...
Song Wenbin suddenly thought of something, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ran.
Said: "I really don't know anything, but he may know, okay, you should leave quickly, if we are seen by others, we will not survive."
After giving Lin his business card, he got into the car, honked the horn three times, and drove away.
Lin Ran looked at the business card in his hand. It had "Shen Taowen" printed on it and the address was Hoya Nightclub.
After his car drove away, the previous bodyguard came out of the darkness.
They stared at Lin Ran and the others with cold eyes until they left the parking lot.
"What's going on with this card?" Lin Ran was full of doubts.
It was obvious that Song Wenbin was definitely aware of the situation. He only appeared guilty when he knew who the imprisoned person was.
In this case, the person behind his brother is definitely not simple. It is even possible that he knew Yuan Jiahao's identity and deliberately asked them to imprison him.
Back at the hotel, I received a call from Jiang Zhou.
"The Hoya Nightclub is on the edge of the city. If I am assigned to be a manager there, I'm afraid there will be no chance of promotion." Jiang Zhou knows the situation in Chengdu fairly well, and he also knows which locations are profitable and which locations are purely landmarks. .
"Why open a nightclub if you don't make money?" Lin Ran asked.
"Money laundering." Jiang Zhou replied, "On the surface, their family is engaged in these businesses, but there must be more to it than that."
Jiang Zhou was not a stickler for the past and didn't know how to adapt. He wandered around the mall and saw the clues right away.
In comparison, Lin Ran's former members of the museum system were relatively simple.
"If you are assigned to a marginal area, you will be eliminated sooner or later." Jiang Zhou said, "Perhaps this is the meaning of Song Wenbin asking you to find him."
Anyway, he and his brother have reconciled, and in their eyes, the other party is no longer important.
Their contradictions are known to everyone with some status in the city.
And Song Wenbin can be obedient to Song Hongyi, which naturally means that he has been dealt with.
Now that someone comes out to stir up trouble, Song Wenbin is of course willing to help, but he must do it in private.
"But I'm afraid it will be a scam if you go again." Jiang Zhou said, how could the other party trust outsiders so easily.
If it was really a matter of family survival, how could they believe it just because of Lin Ran's few words.
However, Lin Ran was worried that Yuan Qianyun was so eager that he would miss this opportunity.
The next day, they took Xu Ning and Guan Yun to the Hoya Nightclub.
At the door of the nightclub, the guard stopped them: "You young people, are you here to have fun so early in the morning? Save it, we won't open until four in the afternoon."
Lin Ran walked to the doorman and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not here to have fun, I'm here to see Manager Shen Tao Wen. Is he in there now?"
"Manager Shen? Who are you?" The gatekeeper saw that Lin Ran was so young, and he despised him in his heart.
In the past, many people who claimed to be friends of the boss came to nightclubs to eat and drink, but we dare not underestimate the shamelessness of today's young people.
Lin Ran secretly took out a ten-dollar bill, handed it to the doorman, and said, "Brother, I really have something urgent to do with Mr. Shen."
The doorman quietly took the money, looked around, and said: "Manager Shen is indeed inside, but it's not working time now. He should be sleeping in the attic. Well... you go in and keep a low profile. If you are discovered, don't say anything." I let you in."
"Okay, thank you big brother."
Money is still good. Even though they are all high-end places, there is not much money to be made as a doorman, and there is no tipping system like in European and American countries.
So the janitor is naturally happy to make extra money.
Lin Ran and the others followed the gatekeeper's directions and headed directly to the third floor.
"Manager Shen is also the manager of a nightclub, right? Why does he live in the attic?" Guan Yun asked curiously.
"Maybe he pays more attention to his career." Lin Ran also felt strange.
Nightclub managers generally appear infrequently to avoid jail time.
Unexpectedly, there was a manager living inside. If he didn't love his job, he couldn't find a better explanation.
They reached the third floor, only to find that there was an iron door on the stairs leading to the attic, which was still locked.
While he was hesitating, a stern questioning voice came from behind.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
As soon as they finished speaking, several people in black suits pressed them against the railing of the iron gate.
The action was too sudden and caught off guard.
After being pushed against the wall, Guan Yun and Xu Ning gritted their teeth and resisted.
It actually pushed the men in black back. Seeing this, they all pulled out their knives.
After all, it depends on the occasion.
"Don't get me wrong, we are here to see Manager Shen!" Lin Ran shouted quickly, "We are not here to cause trouble."
The people in black didn't bother to pay attention to him and entered without invitation. Their duty was to eliminate outsiders, no matter what method they used.
Not to be outdone, Guan Yun took out a dagger from his pocket and threw one to Xu Ning.
Seeing that a bloody conflict was about to happen, at this moment, a voice came from behind the iron gate.
"Find me?"
The movements of the men in black stopped.
Lin Ran turned around and saw an old man in a Tang suit. It could be seen that he was old, but he had a tall and straight figure, a Chinese character face, and a fierceness in his eagle eyes.
"Are you Manager Shen? Hello, we are..."
"That's enough!" the old man yelled at them, "You all go down, go to work, go to rest, don't disturb me."
"Yes." The people in black nodded, then turned and left.
Lin Ran had to admire this kind of momentum.
The iron door was opened, but the old man didn't look at them. He just said, "Follow me."
He interrupted himself just now, obviously because he didn't want others to know the purpose of their visit, and he almost announced Song Wenbin's name.
