Chapter 1051 - 1049: Interrogation
Luo Guoqing said, "Xiao Xue, do you think we can find out who's behind this from the seal on the envelope?"
"How is that possible, what kind of..." Xiao Xue stopped mid-sentence, her mind suddenly making a connection, her eyes lighting up, and she said, "Oh right, how did I not think of that? Old Luo, you're so smart."
Old Luo, receiving Xiao Xue's praise, immediately appeared a bit smug: "Well, after all, I've got the brain of a Sherlock Holmes."
Xiao Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "Old Luo, let's not boast like this. Do you think we should tell Secretary Tang about this?"
Luo Guoqing said, "I think we shouldn't tell Secretary Tang for now. Let's figure things out before we talk to Secretary Tang."

After Yang Zi received news about Lin Chuan being in Washington, she rushed there the next day, but she was too late. Lin Chuan had left Washington the day before. Standing at the door of the Washington hotel, she felt extremely frustrated.
Lin Chuan, you bastard. Yang Zi cursed silently. She had traveled such a long way to find Lin Chuan only not to see him, anyone would be furious.
Since Lin Chuan was no longer in Washington, there was no point in Yang Zi staying. So she quickly returned to Jiangbei City.
Back in her office at her company in Jiangbei City, her assistant, Xiao Qiao, came in and said, "Chairman, I have good news for you, Tang Yumeng has been suspended."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zi, who was initially feeling somewhat depressed, immediately seemed a bit happier. This was the best news she had heard in days.
Although Yang Zi was quite happy inside, she maintained a calm expression and said to her assistant Xiao Qiao, "I know, you may leave now."
Assistant Xiao Qiao acknowledged and turned to leave Yang Zi's office.
Once Xiao Qiao stepped out, Yang Zi's expression changed immediately. Her eyes flashed a chilling look as she muttered to herself, "Tang Yumeng, don't think you can have Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan belongs to me, Yang Zi. I won't allow anyone to take him."
Washington, United States.
Taozi had long recovered from his injury. He led a group of newly joined Jvyi Gang members to fully immerse themselves in work. The news that Jvyi Gang had taken out Sanhe Gang had spread, attracting many people who wanted to join Jvyi Gang.
Initially, Taozi did not intend to accept them, but these people lingered around the newly established Hengchuan Group's U.S. branch, refusing to leave. With no other options, Taozi went to consult Huang Bo, who was still recovering. Huang Bo advised Taozi to accept them all.
In less than ten days, over a hundred people had joined the U.S. branch of Jvyi Gang.
Huang Bo had already been discharged from the hospital and was resting in a house that Taozi had arranged for him. Naturally, he was being cared for by Xiao Feng.
Having long missed the taste of sweet love, Huang Bo wore a bright smile every day. His relationship with Xiao Feng had reached a point where their affection for each other was intense. He didn't mind Xiao Feng's past, as Xiao Feng was also a victim, partly due to Huang Bo's actions.
Xiao Feng had initially not intended to rekindle her relationship with Huang Bo, knowing she was no longer worthy of being with him. However, over time, the flame of love in her heart began to reignite.
Matters between men and women are like a piece of paper and a mountain. Before it's pierced, it feels like a great mountain stands in the way. Once pierced, it becomes as thin as paper.
Xiao Feng was able to escape her plight, mostly thanks to Huang Bo. The two grew increasingly close, finally reaching the highest level one night.
As for what the highest level is, I believe everyone understands without needing an explanation, haha.
Hawkins and Clinfu returned to Washington and immediately went to see the United States Secretary of Commerce, Nancy.
Secretary Nancy was nearing fifty, yet she didn't appear the least bit old. Hearing Hawkins's account of the Hengchuan Group, she was quite pleased.
After Hawkins and Clinfu left, Secretary Nancy immediately called the relevant personnel, informing them they could begin full cooperation with the Hengchuan Group.
Jiangbei City, Hengchuan Group, Zhou Rui's office.
On this day, Zhou Rui had just finished signing a document when the phone on the desk rang.
Picking up the phone, a very unfamiliar voice came through, speaking in English.
Fortunately, Zhou Rui understood English. Upon hearing that the caller was from the largest chain store in the United States, she quickly inquired about their needs.
The caller was none other than Ross Clee, the CEO of the largest chain store in the United States, Wal-Mart Group. He had received instructions from Secretary Nancy, hoping they could engage in full cooperation with the Hengchuan Group.
Upon hearing that the Wal-Mart Group wanted to make significant purchases of seafood products to sell in their chain stores, Zhou Rui's eyes immediately lit up.
Collaboration with the largest chain group in the United States would surely elevate the Hengchuan Group to a new level.
Next, both parties discussed many details, including sending someone to visit and inspect the Hengchuan Group, while Hengchuan Group would send someone to the Wal-Mart Group to sign related documents.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui immediately had a clear blueprint in her mind. Zhou Kai and his team in Fukuoka, Japan mainly focused on seafood wholesaling. If these seafood products were sent back to the Hengchuan Group's food factory in China for processing and then distributed in the United States, a complete chain would be formed.
Zhou Rui sat on the office chair thinking for a long time and decided to first inform Zhou Kai about this. Then, she would have Zhou Kai return to Jiangbei City and accompany her to Washington, United States.
New York City, United States.
Lin Chuan, following the address provided by Li Tiansheng, went there with Helen to search for Mu Zhengqing, China's number one red-wanted fugitive.
Behind the prosperity of every city, there are always some dark places, and the international metropolis of New York is no exception.
Helen and Lin Chuan specifically found a taxi to take them to the address provided by Li Tiansheng. As the taxi turned a corner, the situation suddenly changed.
This street seemed out of place compared to the outside, not only looking dirty but also filled with people dressed in bizarre costumes.
The taxi stopped in front of a street-side entrance, and Lin Chuan paid the fare and got out of the taxi with Helen.
After getting out of the car, Lin Chuan first glanced around. It was an area of low buildings, with a few American black men watching at the entrance who didn't seem like good people.
Lin Chuan looked at Helen and walked towards the entrance with her.
At the entrance, the black men immediately stopped them. One of them looked at Helen's face and body with ill intentions, saying, "You can't go in here."
Lin Chuan didn't yet know who lived here and was about to inquire when Helen took the initiative and said, "We are here to find someone."
"Who are you looking for?" The ill-intentioned guy looked even more lascivious, as if Helen had stripped off her clothes for him to see.
Helen's eyes flashed with a hint of anger and disgust, but she wore a smile and said, "We are looking for a Chinese man named Mu Zhengqing, and here is his photo."
With that, she took out a prepared photo and handed it to the man.
The man glanced at the photo, a slight change on his face, and returned it to Helen, saying, "There's no such person here. You've got the wrong place."
The slight change on the man's face did not escape Lin Chuan's eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "We are his friends, and we have some urgent matters with him."
"Get lost. I told you there's no one like that here. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude." The man cursed, eyeing Helen with a wicked look.
Helen frowned, and without another word, suddenly reached out her right hand, moved her body, and pressed her fingers on the guy's chest. The guy yelped, his face instantly filled with pain.
Several people behind the guy shouted and all moved towards Lin Chuan and Helen, followed by a dozen more people quickly coming over.
Lin Chuan laughed, seemingly unconcerned about these people, and said to Helen, "Helen, I didn't expect your acupuncture technique to become so skilled. How many of these guys do you think you can handle?"
Helen coquettishly gave Lin Chuan a glance and said, "I gave you a head start, the rest is all yours, I'll just watch."
Lin Chuan laughed loudly, moved quickly, and charged at the nearest guy. His right fist landed a loud punch on the guy's face, and the guy clutched his face and screamed as he fell to the ground.
Not wasting a moment, Lin Chuan threw his left fist at another person next to the guy, knocking him down as well.
There were still over ten of them, and seeing Lin Chuan quickly knock down two companions, they all drew out weapons, mostly knives and daggers.
Lin Chuan moved faster, using both fists and feet, and within a few minutes, he had taken down all the opponents.
Helen watched with a smile, surprised in her heart. She had seen Lin Chuan in action twice, but she hadn't expected Lin Chuan's attack speed to be even faster than she thought.
After Lin Chuan knocked down more than a dozen people, he turned and walked to the black man he had spoken with earlier, grabbed the man's collar, and looked at him coldly, saying, "Do you know where Mu Zhengqing is now?"
The man maintained a tough stance, saying, "We don't have that person here. I don't know him."
Lin Chuan's face showed a chilling smile, and he said, "If you don't talk, hmm, the consequences will be serious."
The man looked at the smile on Lin Chuan's face, an overwhelming sense of fear rising in his heart, but he remained tough, saying, "I really don't know. What do you want me to say?"
Lin Chuan didn't say another word, grabbed the man's left hand with his right hand, and twisted it back, dislocating the man's left shoulder. The guy immediately let out a loud scream, cold sweat breaking out on his face.
"Are you going to talk or not? If you don't, you'll suffer more." Lin Chuan shouted coldly.
