Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Shi Kun's face turned pale, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Why were the two of them captured and brought into Lido? Who captured them into Lido?"

"These two are the core figures of Longmen. Besides, everyone knows that Gong Yicun and Ma Wei are my men. Without my order, who dares to arrest them?"

The younger brother said, "I don't know, Deputy Hall Master, I feel something is wrong. Gong Yicun and Ma Wei are not ordinary people. No one in Shanghai dares to arrest them."

"And now, the two of them were caught at the same time, and were taken into Lido. Is there something wrong?"

Shi Kun said: "You mean, we were discovered collecting protection money? That's impossible. We did it very secretly, and the Law Enforcement Hall didn't receive any information."

"If the collection of protection money is discovered, the first to know should be the Law Enforcement Hall. I am the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall and I am now in charge of all its affairs. If the people below have any clues, they will report to me first."

"But now, I haven't received anything. This proves that no one should have discovered the collection of protection money."

As the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Shi Kun manages all law enforcement affairs in Longmen.

Whether it's collecting protection money or violating gang rules, as long as it's discovered, he will be the first to receive the news.

But this time, he clearly received nothing.

This means that everything should be fine, so what is going on?

The younger brother said, "Deputy Hall Master, could it be that someone in Longmen who is higher than you knew about this matter, so he directly arrested Gong Yicun and Ma Wei?"

"Otherwise, how could we not receive any information?"

Hearing this, Shi Kun's face changed, and people of higher rank than him arrested Gong Yicun and Ma Wei.

impossible.

He is the core of the core in Longmen.

There are only a dozen or so people who have higher status than him.

Moreover, he knew all these people, and if there were any actions, they would definitely tell him.

Now no one has told him the news, which is obviously wrong.

However, he also realized that there was definitely something wrong with this matter.

If Gong Yicun and Ma Wei were really arrested at the same time and brought to Lido, it would be most likely a matter of collecting protection money.

Moreover, everyone in Longmen knows that Lidu is the headquarters of Longmen, and it is also the place where Longmen leader Ye Yunfei lives and handles gang affairs.

These two people were captured and taken to Lido. Could it be that they are really related to the sect leader?

This made Shi Kun start to feel uneasy.

He knew that within Longmen, collecting protection fees was a serious violation of gang rules.

If the higher-ups find out, even he will be in trouble.

Although it is still uncertain what the situation is, Shi Kun, who is extremely vigilant, already has a bad premonition.

"No matter what the situation is, we may be in trouble this time. For safety reasons, we should retreat."

"Let's leave Shanghai first."

Shi Kun said.

The younger brother said, "Deputy Hall Master, you mean leaving Shanghai, will there be any problem?"

"What if they track it down later?"

Shi Kun said: "What are you investigating? I'm going to go out and hide for a few days. If this matter is really found out, I have to run away, otherwise it will be over."

"If this matter has not been found out, then I will come back normally and tell Longmen that I was out on business. With my identity, Longmen will not pursue it."

"So, no matter what, the safest thing to do now is to leave Shanghai."

"At least it can ensure that my life will not be threatened, and if something unexpected happens, there will be a way to retreat."

Shi Kun has made the decision to leave Shanghai immediately.

Shi Kun, who had been on the brink of death for many years, keenly felt that this matter was of no trivial importance.

Have to go.

"Pack your things immediately, especially my gold bars and money. Don't leave any behind. Take them all away."

Shi Kun gave instructions to several of his men.

"Yes."

Those men immediately packed up their things and prepared to evacuate.

"Shi Kun, where are you going?"

However, just when Shi Kun was about to leave, the door of his villa was opened, and then he saw Ding Li walked in.

He looked at Shi Kun with a gloomy expression.

Shi Kun was planning to retreat, but unexpectedly, someone broke into his villa.

He was still serious. Who would be so brave as to come directly to his villa?

When he saw who was coming, he was suddenly speechless.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Shi Kun said.

Ding Li said: "Why did you tell me to come here, Shi Kun, you just said you were leaving, where are you going?"

Shi Kun said: "No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going out for a walk to relax."

"Brother Li, weren't you in the Northeast? How come I didn't know when you returned to Shanghai?"

He knew that Ding Li had been busy with things in the Northeast recently and had not come to Shanghai.

That's why I acted a little more recklessly.

Unexpectedly, Ding Li came back without anyone noticing.

Moreover, he didn't even know when Ding Li came back.

Ding Li said: "Shi Kun, you have been with me for so many years. We have come from Zhabei District together, from having nothing before to being in a high position now."

"You are not only my subordinate, but also my brother. I hope that if you have any questions, you can tell me directly and don't do anything irrational."

"We two brothers can talk about anything."

"As long as you tell me, I can help you solve it."

Hearing what Ding Li said, Shi Kun's face changed. He said, "Brother Li, did you misunderstand me? I have nothing to say. I have been working in Shanghai. Everything is normal and nothing has happened. What should I say?"

"Brother Li, why don't I understand what you mean."

Ding Li stared at Shi Kun and said, "Shi Kun, you still don't want to tell the truth. I have always treated you as a brother, and I have always cultivated and promoted you. We have experienced life and death together."

"I feel like we should be able to talk about anything. No matter what happens to you, I can help you, but you have to speak up."

"If you don't tell me, I can't help you at all."

"I really don't want anything to happen to you, understand?"

Ding Li said these words while staring into Shi Kun's eyes.

After Ding Li finished speaking, Shi Kun stood there with a cold expression.

After a moment, he said, "Brother Li, Gong Yicun and Ma Wei, you sent people to arrest them, right?"

He knew that Ding Li's words meant that everything he had done had been discovered.

So, there is no need to hide it, just ask directly...
