Tsui Harding and Tan Ziming witnessed many zombies jumping into the sea one after another. They didn't know what happened until Luo Lie and the other two returned. At this time, the reinforcements sent by Shao Wei and Hai Mingzhu also arrived.

This team was led by Hai Mingzhu in person. The reason why she insisted on it was because there was still a glimmer of hope for her father in her heart.

Zhang Changgong walked over and took Hai Mingzhu aside and whispered something.

When Tan Ziming saw the three of them coming back empty-handed, he was inevitably disappointed. It seemed that this mission ended in failure. Luo Lie came to him to explain to him. Tan Ziming smiled indifferently and said, "It's good that you come back safely, nothing else matters."

Luo Lie shook the pendant in front of Tan Ziming and said, "It's also worthy of my responsibilities."

Tan Ziming looked at the small pendant in a daze. The coffin drawn in the kidnapper's letter was almost exactly the same as this object, but the difference in size was too big. Tan Ziming said skeptical: "Is it really this thing?"

Luo Liedao: "There should be no mistake."

Tan Ziming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best." He was quick-witted and immediately guessed that this thing must be unusual. He asked in a low voice: "Is there any mystery here?"

Luo Lie said: "I don't know very well." He must keep the secret that Yang Huaming said strictly. If Tan Ziming knew that this small thing hidden ways to restrain the zombie virus, he would not know what kind of thoughts would come to mind. Once a person grasps the secret, it would be equivalent to having great power, and power would inevitably corrupt people.

Tan Ziming did not continue to ask questions, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope this thing can successfully rescue the lady."

Luo Lie said: "Brother Tan, I want to ask you something, this time I came to help, is it what you mean or what others mean?"

Tan Ziming said: "I did think so, but it was Yu Guanglong who first brought up this matter. After hearing this, the governor asked me to come over and invite you out of the mountain."

Luo Liedao: "For us, trouble may be just the beginning."

Jiang Shaoxiong lived like a year, and there were only five days left before the deadline given by the kidnappers. Tan Ziming and his party have not come back yet. If they could not return as scheduled, or if they did not find the coffin smoothly, he would probably not be able to see his daughter in his life.

After Tan Ziming left, Jiang Shaoxiong did not give up on the search in Huangpu. He used all aspects of the relationship and searched Huangpu almost all, and arrested a lot of suspects, but there was still no news about his daughter. Just when Jiang Shaoxiong was suffering like an ant on a hot pan, Tan Ziming finally came back.

Tan Ziming returned alone this time. Not only did the gunboat equipped by Jiang Shaoxiong did not come back, but even a soldier did not come back with him. Tan Ziming landed from Yupu Wharf, but he did not dare to speak out and quietly came to the Governor's Mansion.

When Jiang Shaoxiong saw Tan Ziming appearing suddenly, he excitedly greeted him, grabbed Tan Ziming's shoulder and asked impatiently: "Ziming, how is the situation?"

Tan Ziming briefly explained the situation of going to Mangjiao Island this time, but only ignored the section about the zombie virus. This was also his decision after discussing with Luo Lie and others. As for the gunboat and other soldiers, it was said that the storm was silent at the sea, and most of the people were dead. If the Hailong Gang had not saved them, they might have been wiped out.

Although the losses were huge, Jiang Shaoxiong didn't care. His most concerned experience was whether Tan Ziming completed the task.

Tan Ziming handed the pendant that Luo Lie gave him to Jiang Shaoxiong.

Jiang Shaoxiong saw that the army was mobilizing to the end and was looking for such a small thing, and he was a little unbelievable. However, the shape of the pendant matched the graphics sent by the kidnappers. While he was looking at it, the phone rang. The guard picked up the phone and said to Jiang Shaoxiong: "Supervisor, it's a lady!"

Jiang Shaoxiong quickly got up and took the phone, but heard his daughter Jiang Yunxiu sobbing and crying from the other end of the phone. Jiang Shaoxiu said, "Yunxiu, don't cry, where are you? I'll pick you up now."

Tan Ziming listened and felt puzzled. He had just returned, and the kidnappers actually knew about it.

Jiang Shaoxiong put down the phone and said to Tan Ziming: "Go and prepare the car!"

No one expected that this robbery would end like this. Jiang Yunxiu, who had been hijacked for many days, actually returned on his own, which made Tan Ziming's trip to sea a useless effort. Since Jiang Yunxiu returned safely, there was naturally no need to negotiate terms with the robbers, let alone exchange them with pendants.

The pendant that Tan Ziming held was just an exquisite copy, and it was still in Luo Lie's hands. After Jiang Yunxiu returned to the Governor's Mansion safely, Tan Ziming immediately notified Luo Lie of the matter. Luo Lie and others were waiting for news at the sparrow's house. When they heard the news of Jiang Yunxiu's safe return, they were also surprised.

Zhang Changgong said in surprise: "The robber spent so much effort to release her in the end?"

Cheng Yufei shook her head and said, "It's not that she was letting go, but that Miss Jiang escaped by herself while the robbers were not careful."

Sparrow said: "How is it possible? She is the key target of robbers' surveillance, how could the robbers be so negligent?"

Cheng Yufei said: "This is indeed strange."

Hai Mingzhu said: "It's not a farce directed and acted by her, right?"

Sparrow said: "It's her directing and acting, or she's lucky, in short, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Several people turned their eyes to Luo Lie, who had not expressed their opinions. Luo Lie stood in front of the window with his back, looking at the scenery outside the window, but thought of Ming Huayang's words in his heart.

Zhang Changgong said: "Luo Lie, what do you think?"

Luo Lie said: "Abstract, it's not a bad thing for her to come back, and there is no conflict of interests between us and the governor."

Cheng Yufei said: "It is better to have less than more things. It is better to have less things than this matter. We don't need to continue interfering." She stood up and said: "I'll go to the police station, and Chen Haodong's case can be settled."

The sparrow said: "It's already noon, let's have lunch together before going."

When Hai Mingzhu heard the word "eating", she immediately started to retching. Zhang Changgong hurriedly accompanied her to the door. Everyone followed her out of concern. Zhang Changgong smiled and said, "It's okay, Mingzhu's reaction during pregnancy has become more severe."

Only then did Cheng Yufei and Maque realize that Hai Mingzhu was pregnant and congratulated Zhang Changgong and his wife.

Zhang Changgong said to Luo Lie: "I'm going to take her back to Manchuria." In fact, he had already made a decision on his way to Huangpu and told Luo Lie that since the matter in Huangpu has been settled, Chen Haodong has also become a zombie and stayed on the Python Jiao Island to fend for himself. Huangpu's crisis has been temporarily resolved, and Zhang Changgong can leave for a while.

Luo Lie said: "You go, there is nothing wrong here anyway. After I solve the problem here, I will go to Europe to see my daughter."

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. The sparrow listened, and his heart couldn't help but sink. The relationship between her and Luo Lie might only reach this point. Luo Lie will eventually return to his family. He thought, if it weren't for the purpose of rescuing him, that kind of relationship would not have happened between them. He had to be more open-minded and would never cause any trouble to Luo Lie because of this incident.

Zhang Changgong accompanied Hai Mingzhu to rest, and Cheng Yufei also decided to go to the police station immediately to finish the matter, and Luo Lie proposed to send her over.

On the way to the police station, Cheng Yufei couldn't help but look at Luo Lie, "I didn't encounter any trouble when I went out this time, did I?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "There is no trouble."

Cheng Yufei said skeptically: "Is there anything wrong with you and the Sparrow?"

Luo Lie heard her question so bluntly, and his face became a little hot. He laughed: "Why did you ask like this?"

Cheng Yufei said: "Don't forget what my profession is. You are all deliberately avoiding each other's eyes."

Luo Lie sighed in his heart, thinking that he could face it calmly, but he still didn't do well enough after all.

Cheng Yufei said: "Before Qinghong went to Europe, she specially invited me and sparrow to have a meal. Her intention seemed to be to match you with sparrows."

Luo Lie said: "Yufei, we are old friends, don't joke like this. I'm fine. The sparrow has not yet married. If she knows, it will inevitably be embarrassing."

Cheng Yufei said: "You know her better than me. She should be the one who is wrong to you and you will not marry in this life."

Luo Lie was really embarrassed. He had the urge to smoke, but fortunately he had already arrived at the French Concession Police Station. Cheng Yufei blinked at him and said, "Hug him left and right, enjoy all the blessings of all the people, why not consider it."

Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "I really shouldn't have come to see you."

Cheng Yufei said: "Since you're here, you might as well wait a little longer. I'll finish the work. I'll help you drive me back."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the newspaper to wait for you!"

The Minghua Daily, which was in the French Concession Police Station, was Luo Lie's property. During the period when he left, Liu Honggen and Ge Lide were responsible for the management. When Luo Lie came back, they hurried over to greet him. Luo Lie first asked about his recent business conditions.

Ge Lide reported the recent operating status of Minghua Daily and said with a smile: "Recently, many old brothers from the past have come over. They all expressed their intention to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Hong Gen and I discussed it, but now we don't dare to make decisions without authorization. We temporarily arrange for them to work at the dock."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "You can do these things." After Chang Chai died, the brothers who were originally from Huangpu branch went their separate ways, after all, everyone had to live.

Liu Honggen said: "Mr. Luo, there are actually many properties in the Huangpu Branch of the Tumen. We have recently rectified these properties and took stock of the debts that we have to pay. This is the account book, and you have reviewed it."

Luo Lie said: "No need to look at it. I am not your sect leader now. You two can decide on the matter of stealing the sect."

The two of them became anxious when they heard this, and Ge Lide said, "How can that work? We only convinced you. Without Mr. Luo, we can't even save our lives. Besides, it is all your credit for getting back these industries and debts in Huangpu Branch."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "What? I've done something wrong with you when I'm going to collect your debts?"

Liu Honggen shook his head and said, "That's not what it means. Now the thief has become a piece of loose sand. You are the only one who can bring everyone back together, and no one else has the ability to do this."

Luo Lie said: "You can't say that. Before I entered the thief, the thief was even stronger than now. It was still defeated by my hands, which proves that I was incompetent."

Liu Honggen said: "Mr. Luo, do you think the thief is shameless?"

Luo Lie said: "It doesn't mean that, but you know my personality, and it's not suitable for doing such a job."

Liu Honggen said: "The current situation is turbulent and panic. If our brothers lack constraints, they may do bad things to make a living. The more they are, the more they need a backbone to guide us. When Elder Fu chose you as his disciple, he also recommended you to be the leader. Isn't it because he is afraid that the sect sect will fall into the hands of people like Chen Haodong, leading everyone on evil paths and destroying the reputation of the ancestor."

Ge Lide said: "There is also a way to steal. You can do good things with an upright and wise sect leader, but you will do bad things. If you do it, you may harm the country and the people and leave them with a bad reputation for thousands of years."

Liu Honggen said: "Anyway, we have recognized you. Only by following you can you not go the wrong way. Do more things that benefit the country and the people, and do more things that will thieves for the heavens." The two of them sang and said it was hard to refuse Luo Lie. If you quit the situation in front of you, it would be unreasonable. It would be better to accept it for the time being and wait until you find a suitable candidate in the future. What's more, Bai Yunfei has not yet appeared. This person is always a hidden danger of stealing the door if he doesn't get rid of it for a day.

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. Before I find a suitable candidate, I will be the leader of the sect for a few days."

Ge Lide smiled and said, "You are the leader of the sect."

At this time, Wang Zhaofu came. As soon as the guy entered the newspaper, he shouted: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, are you back? I'm here to pay my respects to you."

Luo Lie saw this guy bowing his head and walking into the office, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You are not a eunuch, and I am not the emperor, don't do the old tricks."

Wang Zhaofu said: "In my heart, you are much better than the emperor. If you really become the emperor, I will be willing to be a eunuch by your side."

Liu Honggen said happily: "Wang Zhaofu, your picket captain is also first-class in flattery."

Wang Zhaofu smiled and said, "It's not up to the praises of the masters."

Luo Lie said: "How do you know I'm back?"

Wang Zhaofu said: "I just met Miss Cheng in the police station, so I learned about your return from triumphantly, so I came over to pay my respects to you."

Luo Liedao: "It's well-informed."

Wang Zhaofu said: "Not only do you wish you a favor, but you have other things to report to you."

Luo Lie nodded, meaning that he would say.

Wang Zhaofu understood Luo Lie's meaning, and he smiled and said, "The case of the robbery of the governor's daughter was solved. Jiang Yunxiu provided testimony himself, saying that she was arrested by Chen Haodong's people. Now the French Concession and the Public Concession work together to clear Chen Haodong's forces in the entire Huangpu. All the people who had been with Chen Haodong in the past were panicked."

Luo Lie said: "How much power can he have?" Before Jiang Yunxiu disappeared, Chen Haodong was approaching the situation of being betrayal of his relatives, and even Liang Zaijun, who had always supported him, turned aside him. Luo Lie did not think that Jiang Yunxiu's disappearance was related to Chen Haodong. Now it seems that Chen Haodong is just an abandoned son.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yunxiu's disappearance and return are also strange.

Wang Zhaofu said: "I originally wanted to act in concert, but I was worried that Wang Jinmin would take the opportunity to insult me, so I would like to ask you for your opinion first."

Luo Lie said: "We'd better not get involved in this kind of thing. Chen Haodong is a wall that is down and everyone is pushing him. There is no need to join in the fun."

Wang Zhaofu nodded repeatedly.
