People differ.<\/span><\/p>

It might seem superfluous, but this phrase warned against holding prejudices towards anyone or anything.<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian didn\u2019t like Huang Ze, that much was obvious, but he didn\u2019t hold any prejudice against the inspector.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze climbed to his position at a young age. Although his background contributed to that, coming from a family of businessmen, his background wasn\u2019t exactly much help in his career as an official. Huang Ze genuinely climbed up the ranks with his own effort.<\/span><\/p>

To Xing Cong Lian, people who didn\u2019t live off their family were worthy of respect which was why he was willing to talk to Huang Ze.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze took his words to heart. Eyes wandering to Lin Chen\u2019s face, he asked, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s dangerous.\u201d <\/span>Otherwise, I wouldn\u2019t have bothered to talk to you in the first place.<\/span><\/i> Lin Chen paused and swallowed the second half of his sentence.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI can\u2019t close this highway just because of what you think.\u201d Huang Ze looked at Consultant Jiang who was being interviewed by the reporters. \u201cHe\u2019s the real expert and I only listen to what the experts say,\u201d he added seriously.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze was a rigid, by the books man, which was why he retained the respect of his competitors despite defeating them to become the inspector in the provincial department. This wasn\u2019t a bad personality trait, but at times, not a good one as well.<\/span><\/p>

He politely apologized to the reporters before taking Jiang Zhe to Lin Chen.<\/span><\/p>

Upon hearing Lin Chen\u2019s reasoning, Jiang Zhe immediately blew up. \u201cThis is just a prank by a rebellious kid and you want to close down the highway? Who are you kidding?\u201d Jiang Zhe kept his voice down, not wanting the reporters to hear what he was saying. He sneered at Lin Chen. \u201cI know that you just want to make this thing bigger than it actually is so you can get famous again. Do you really think you can get back to the place you used to be?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Having finished speaking his mind, he waved his hand and walked away, but Lin Chen stopped him. \u201cJiang Zhe, can you take responsibility for this analysis you\u2019ve made?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLin Chen, who are you trying to scare?\u201d Jiang Zhe turned and stared at Lin Chen incredulously. \u201cI can\u2019t take responsibility, yet <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> can?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI can.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

This question was obviously a rhetorical one, but Lin Chen answered it seriously. His voice wasn\u2019t loud, but it was solemn, making it so that no one could say anything in response.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou\u2019re crazy!\u201d After mulling over Lin Chen\u2019s reply, Jiang Zhe could only respond with this.<\/span><\/p>

After that, the curly-haired psychologist left without turning back.<\/span><\/p>

Huang Ze shrugged and said to Lin Chen and Xing Cong Lian, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but my expert said your idea is nonsense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHuang Ze. If anything happens, let me know.\u201d Lin Chen stared at the inspector.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou look like you want something to happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s not that I want something to happen, but something is definitely going to happen. That\u2019s not something that can be changed by my will alone..\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After Lin Chen said that, Xing Cong Lian patted his shoulder and said, \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If someone wanted to close down the highway and was in a hurry, the best way to do it was to go straight to the highway management office.<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian got in his car and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the jeep sped away.<\/span><\/p>

The atmosphere inside was heavy, no one daring to speak. Lin Chen sat in the front seat while Wang Chao and Yang Dian Feng sat in the back. After holding back for so long, the manager finally couldn\u2019t help himself. \u201cYou didn\u2019t need to speak to Young Master Huang at all!\u201d As he spoke, he glared at Lin Chen with accusation in his eyes.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s my duty. If I didn\u2019t speak up, it would be my problem, but since he didn\u2019t listen, it became his. It\u2019s fine.\u201d Xing Cong Lian gripped the steering wheel with both hands and took a moment to nudge Lin Chen, saying, \u201cGive me a cigarette.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Lin Chen looked around, but couldn\u2019t find a pack.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIn my pocket.\u201d Xing Cong Lian leaned forward slightly.<\/span><\/p>

Yang Dian Feng watched all of this from the back seat, feeling as though he had been completely ignored again.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have left. Inspector Huang choosing to reply as he did is totally because of personal reasons. You need to report this to your superior!\u201d Yang Dian Feng spoke again, raising his voice.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhy should I do that?\u201d Xing Cong Lian never took Huang Ze seriously to begin with. He stepped on the accelerator and cut off the vehicle in front of them. \u201cAnger is a waste of time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

If Huang Ze was here, he probably would\u2019ve vomited blood.<\/span><\/p>

Hong Jing Highway management office was located about 50 km away from the crime scene. Even at full speed, they didn\u2019t arrive until nearly half an hour later.<\/span><\/p>

On the way over, Xing Cong Lian called the old director and made a report on the case\u2019s latest progress, hoping to get his help.<\/span><\/p>

Anticipating their arrival, the highway management\u2019s people were waiting for them in the parking lot.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHello, Captain Xing. I am Liu Hang, assistant to the chairman of Hong Jing Expressway Co., Ltd.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

A young man with gold-rimmed glasses approached as Xing Cong Lian and his party were getting out of the car.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYour chairman?\u201d Xing Cong Lian asked as they walked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe chairman is in a meeting.\u201d Liu Hang looked at Xing Cong Lian and everyone else. Although Liu Hang remained polite, his tone still held a shed of disapproval.<\/span><\/p>

When he received a call from the office just now, he heard that the captain of the criminal investigation team wanted to see their management to close up the highway. He thought it was ridiculous for a mere captain from the municipal police office to make such a request. Now that he met the actual person clad in plain clothing and saw the jeep he drove, Liu Hang was even more certain that the captain had no background. In short, he was just an ordinary civil servant.<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian knew that this man looked down on him. In any case, using the power of one\u2019s background to pressure people was only one way of solving problems. Using reason was another.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re in a rush. Even if the chairman is in the toilet right now, we need to break through.\u201d Xing Cong Lian didn\u2019t waste any time with the assistant\u2026.<\/span><\/p>

Liu Hang was struck speechless.<\/span><\/p>

As an assistant, Liu Hang certainly could not allow his boss to be embarrassed. Making a decision, he invited Xing Cong Lian and his company into the office before excusing himself to go and find the chairman.<\/span><\/p>

The four in the office were left to their own devices.<\/span><\/p>

Hong Jing Highway ran through two provinces, so it was quite a profitable business. Naturally, the chairman\u2019s office was very luxurious.<\/span><\/p>

Oak flooring, mahogany furniture, a leather sofa, <\/span>jade carvings<\/span><\/a>, all four eye-catching items essential for the rich were seen here. The only difference compared to other offices was that instead of a famous foreign painting or one of <\/span>a fierce tiger<\/span><\/a>, there was a massive picture that hung behind the leather chair.<\/span><\/p>

The picture was old with yellowed corners. The people in it were wearing late 80\u2019s clothes, spreading mortar for the highway\u2019s foundation. If one paid closer attention, figures of some big-shots who had already entered retirement could be seen. With that in mind, these people should be quite old by now.<\/span><\/p>

Only one part of this massive photo looked new, located in the lower corner. It was that of a beautiful lady wearing a simple silk cheongsam. Her long hair was tied in a bun, held by an ebony hairpin with several strands of hair framing her face. Instead of appearing messy, the hair made the lady\u2019s ears look like jade. Her face was unadorned, wearing only a quiet smile. It showed a temperament that exposed her excellent upbringing, something that couldn\u2019t be imitated.<\/span><\/p>

It was as if her presence was the sole reason that the picture shone with brilliance.<\/span><\/p>

Yang Dian Feng noticed the big photo occupying half of the wall as soon as he entered the room. Once he saw the beautiful lady on it, he subconsciously turned to Xing Cong Lian.<\/span><\/p>

Even Xing Cong Lian was shocked when he saw the picture.<\/span><\/p>

Since both Yang Dian Feng and Xing Cong Lian were staring at the photo, Lin Chen and Wang Chao followed suit.<\/span><\/p>

And so, when Liu Hang returned, what he saw was four people sitting on the sofa, staring at the picture on the wall.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe chairman said that he would be here in a minute.\u201d Liu Hang coughed, interrupting the four scrutinizing the picture.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAre you interested in this picture, Captain Xing?\u201d The room was too silent, so Liu Hang scrambled to find a talking point. \u201cThis photo was taken on the day the foundation of the Hong Jing Highway was laid. The ceremony was very grand. Not only did many high ranking officials appear in person, even more noteworthy was an important person from the highway investors was also there.\u201d Having recited these sentences thousands of times, Liu Xing was eloquent. Then, he looked at the beautiful lady and continued to talk.<\/span><\/p>

As the first ever highway to be built in China, the initial progress for Hong Jing Highway was met with numerous roadblocks, particularly with funding. At that time, private companies had only begun to expand and those so-called North and South rich families were just starting out.<\/span><\/p>

In order to raise money for construction, Hong Jing\u2019s mayor asked for money everywhere. After several setbacks, he found himself in front of what legend had it was the most prominent family in China.<\/span><\/p>

It was said that on the day the mayor went to the family\u2019s door for a cup of tea, he came out with all the funds needed to complete the construction.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIs this beautiful lady <\/span>that<\/span><\/i> Miss. Xing?\u201d Wang Chao suddenly raised his hand and asked excitedly.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNo, not Miss. Xing, it\u2019s Mrs. Xing.\u201d Liu Hang looked at Xing Cong Lian and smiled, \u201cIn pronunciation, it\u2019s just like Captain Xing\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNah, our boss\u2019s name is written with <\/span>the knife radical<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s just the name that\u2019s pronounced the same as that big family.\u201d Wang Chao patted Xing Cong Lian\u2019s shoulder and said, \u201cBoss, your surname is the same as the Xings, yet you\u2019re still so poor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xing Cong Lian staggered a bit from the pat, and unexpectedly stayed silent as he looked at the picture of the lady.<\/span><\/p>

Wang Chao was joking, but it showed that in the minds of ordinary people, other than being rich, the most prominent family in China was super rich.<\/span><\/p>

The Xing family had been in business since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Their traces could be found all over the world. From big industries like oil and mineral resources to everyday necessities like firewood and rice, this family did it all. But if it was just this, the Xing family would have just been another rich family.<\/span><\/p>

Rumor has it that Chinese people all over the world deeply respected this family.<\/span><\/p>

The reason for this was, when war broke out a hundred years ago, the Xing family provided shelter for countless Chinese people overseas. Even now, they run the biggest overseas Chinese charity organization, focusing on helping their countrymen in foreign lands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In summary, all the praises boiled down to this one sentence:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Xing family is really awesome.<\/span><\/p>

Breaking the silence all of a sudden, the door was pushed open and the chairman of the Hong Jing Expressway Co., Ltd strode into the room.<\/span><\/p>

Instead of greeting the people inside his office, he sat down behind his desk and began answering his phone.<\/span><\/p>

The content of the call was full of trivial minutiae, such as going abroad for an inspection. He talked to the person on the other end without pausing, appearing as though he didn\u2019t intend to end the call any time soon.<\/span><\/p>

At this moment, Xing Cong Lian got up, walked over to the chairman\u2019s desk and pulled out the cord.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWho are you? Who let you into my office?\u201d The chairman was indignant.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cXing Cong Lian, Captain of the Hong Jing Criminal Department.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Perhaps Xing Cong Lian\u2019s gaze was too glacial, but the chairman relented after a moment of deadlock. \u201cCaptain Xing, please sit down.\u201d The man waved his hand and said, \u201cI heard you\u2019ve come to ask me to close down the highway?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe concluded that the hijacker might make a big move today. For the safety of the highway\u2019s users, I hope you can agree to temporarily close down the highway in the Hong Jing section.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou\u2019re telling me to shut down the highway just because you think a kid might do something? Do you know how much the shareholders will lose if we do that?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNo idea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNo idea?!\u201d The chairman was so angry, his finger almost poked Xing Cong Lian\u2019s face.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t know much, but what I do know is that if you don\u2019t take responsibility now, you will have to bear the consequences later.\u201d Xing Cong Lian\u2019s eyes were ice cold.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cConsequences?\u201d The chairman sneered. \u201cCaptain Xing, do you think the highway belongs to your family?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Hearing this, an odd thought rose in Xing Cong Lian\u2019s mind.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
