In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Now that we've dealt with Li Kangjian, we can all still make money together!"

Gao Xiaoqin's timely appearance mediated the conflict between the two.

Zhao Ruilong snorted coldly and walked out! Hou Liangping looked at Gao Xiaoqin, who then offered a word of comfort!

"Don't take it to heart. He just has a good father. But I'm still not sure. Is Li Kangjian the kind of person who's easy to talk to?"

Gao Xiaoqin offered a reminder, but Hou Liangping waved his hand and said...!

"I know Li Kangjian; his explanation makes sense!"

Hou Liangping's understanding of Li Kangjian dates back to when they were students at Handong University twenty years ago. Now, Li Kangjian is only thinking about winning over Hou Liangping as soon as possible so that he can clean up the mess left by Teacher Gao and Senior Zhao. He wants to join the department!

The reason is simple: the Li family and the Zhong family joined forces to promote his father-in-law, Zhong Zhengguo, to a second-level official position. The political resources left behind by a second-level official can only propel one person to a higher position at most, and he himself would likely remain a ministerial-level official, or even just a nominal post. It's all because his father died young! There's nothing he can do; if his father hadn't died, it would mean the Zhong family had pushed him to the top, meaning his future would be limitless. His father-in-law has a son, and he has a brother-in-law; there's no way it would be his turn!

Therefore, Li Kangjian wanted to seize Zhao Zhongxin's coattails. The reason was simple: Zhao Zhongxin's father, Zhao Mengsheng, had already made his word. Zhao Zhongxin's bottom line was the 24 Heavens. It was hard to say what he could achieve above that. By following him, he could at least become a regional warlord!

The next day, at 5:30 pm, Li Kangjian got into Gao Xiaoqin's car on time, which puzzled him a bit!

"Huh? Senior Monkey said he'd have Director Cheng pick me up, why didn't he come?"

"Hey, what are you saying? Can't I come to pick you up? Wouldn't my coming show much more sincerity than Cheng Du's?"

Gao Xiaoqin smiled, and Li Kangjian nodded. Li Kangjian chatted with Gao Xiaoqin casually along the way.

Li Kangjian either glossed over or changed the subject when Gao Xiaoqin brought up those sensitive topics, refusing to engage with them!

Upon arriving at the Mountain and Water Manor, Li Kangjian looked at the policeman working as a waiter and said with a smile!

"Power is so good. I want to become the director of the Public Security Bureau someday, yay!"

"Not at all, these are just the few attendants accompanying Director Hou!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin could only change the subject! Cheng Du was blocking the door with several policemen, and Li Kangjian was asking questions!

"Hey, Director Cheng, you're here! I thought you came to pick me up!"

"Excuse me, Director Li, something came up unexpectedly. Please don't take offense! Also, this is a private gathering, so please hand over your cell phones and other communication devices to me!"

Du Cheng spoke with neither humility nor arrogance, but as soon as he said this, Li Kangjian got angry and showed the imposing manner of a young master from Beijing.

"Damn it, say that again? What kind of class do you think you are, trying to take my things? You call that bastard Zhao Ruilong out here, let him see if he dares to search me! Damn it!"

As he spoke, Li Kangjian slapped Cheng Du across the face. Several policemen behind him drew their service pistols and pointed them at Li Kangjian, who then sneered and said...

"Come on! Go ahead and shoot if you dare! What are you all pretending for? You invited me to dinner, and you even wanted to search me? Does Zhao Ruilong think he's some kind of big shot? Little sister-in-law, tell Senior Monkey that I'm not having dinner with that bastard Zhao Ruilong. We'll meet up alone next time!"

After saying that, Li Kangjian turned to leave. Zhao Ruilong, who was in the room, also heard Li Kangjian calling him a "dog" repeatedly, and his face turned ashen. Hou Liangping, on the other hand, looked very pleased, as if he was about to have an orgasm! He had initially thought that Li Kangjian also had a problem with him, but after Li Kangjian said that, he realized that Li Kangjian was only targeting Zhao Ruilong!

"Hey, what are you doing? Put down your guns! Ah Kang, don't go! Can't we talk this over?"

Hou Liangping stepped forward and smoothed things over. He had profited from Cheng Du's situation, but Cheng Du was not the one most grateful to him. Moreover, Zhao Ruilong's actions made Hou Liangping very unhappy. When Li Kangjian saw Hou Liangping come out, he smiled with a face full of displeasure!

"Senior, look at these police officers! Are they even police officers? They're pointing guns at me! I think they're becoming Zhao Ruilong's bodyguards!"

"Yes, yes, you can all leave now. Ah Kang is one of us, no need to search him!"

Hou Liangping didn't know what to say, since they were going to search Li Kangjian, but he still said something!

"Kang, but the conversation later is quite important, so let's not bring your phone or recording equipment. Your senior will definitely give you a surprise!"

"Oh? If you had said so earlier, that would have been fine, I'd have taken care of it for you!"

As he spoke, Li Kangjian handed the briefcase to Cheng Du, took a step, then turned back and said, "!"

"Take good care of yourself, or I'll break your legs!"

"We need to scan it again!"

Hou Liangping said with a smile! Li Kangjian nodded, pulled a gun from his back waist, and held it in his hand, saying!

"Scan it!"

When everyone saw the gun in Li Kangjian's hand, they were startled again, thinking he was going to hand it over. Cheng Du was about to take it when Li Kangjian slapped him across the face again!

"What are you doing, you lackey? This is a gun my grandfather gave me; I have a gun license!"

Gao Xiaoqin and Hou Liangping could see that Li Kangjian was talking nonsense. The gun had a serial number from Handong on it. He said his grandfather gave it to him. He was lying without batting an eye!

"Kang, why are you bringing a gun to a meal? Can't I protect you, your senior?"

Hou Liangping said helplessly that he was now unsure whether Li Kangjian was targeting him or Zhao Ruilong!

"Hey, senior, we're both in the law enforcement field. I'm carrying a gun because I'm afraid someone might steal it from me, but it's a gun my grandfather gave me, otherwise I would have given it to you!"

Li Kangjian laughed! Hou Liangping had no choice but to accept the gun; they weren't there to fight anyway. He gave Cheng Du a look, signaling him to glance at Li Kangjian.

I really wanted to cry. Damn it, you used to talk to me nicely, Li Kangjian, but today you came up here and slapped me twice, showing me no respect at all. And who in the whole of Handong doesn't know that I'm Zhao Ruilong's henchman? And look at you now!

He insulted my elder brother in front of me, his servant, and even tried to beat his servant in front of him! What's going on?!

If Li Kangjian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "What kind of servant are you? You're just a dog. I'm going to beat you in front of your master, and I'm going to curse your master in front of you. What can you do about it?"

With no other option, Cheng Du could only tremble as he scanned Li Kangjian's body with the metal detector. This time, there was no sound, but when Li Kangjian reached out, Cheng Du was startled. However, Li Kangjian simply tucked the gun into his waistband and didn't even glance at him!
