Chapter 1698 4 possibilities

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your promise, uncle. I will keep it in mind."

Chief Bai smiled and said, "The current situation of the Tang family must be very interesting."

Liu Fusheng said: "Mr. Tang should be very angry, or rather, very confused, right?"

Chief Bai said: "Except for the traitor, everyone should be confused."

……

After the fire in Chaojiang City, most people in the Tang family were indeed a little dazed.

Late at night, Mr. Tang was holding the most important family meeting.

The reason for holding the meeting in the middle of the night was that Tang Shaoying had no time during the day as he was always busy coordinating and dealing with the fire.

The impact of this incident is really huge.

The victims represent the country's authority and reputation. The fire burned away the faces of state officials and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Mr. Tang looked at the exhausted Tang Shaoying in the video and said, "Have you investigated clearly? Who is causing the trouble?"

Tang Shaoying sighed and said, "It's not clear yet. Today I have questioned all the relevant personnel in the hotel, and investigated the more powerful clans and group companies in Chaojiang City through our family's channels, but I didn't find any valuable clues."

Tang Shaohao said indifferently: "Brother, there must be a loophole. I didn't expect that the special case team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would encounter a desperate criminal, so the security work was not in place."

Tang Shaoying has always been known for his rigor and has hardly ever made any mistakes. There is a certain irony in Tang Shaohao's words.

Tang Shaoying was unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Third Brother, I was indeed negligent in this matter, but I did everything I should do. This matter is very unfavorable to the Tang family. Before the matter is investigated clearly, I hope you can focus your energy on the right place and not criticize or blame me."

"Good good."

Tang Shaohao laughed and said nothing more.

Elder Tang said calmly, "Boss, don't get excited. The Third Brother probably doesn't mean to blame you. What's more, what he said makes sense. Let's talk about the facts. You haven't thought about it enough."

Tang Shaoying's face changed. He didn't expect that Mr. Tang would say the same thing about him.

This is the old man expressing his dissatisfaction with what happened in East Guangdong Province.

As the highest person in charge of the Tang family in eastern Guangdong, no matter what the reason, if things are not done well, they are not done well. Any shirking of responsibility will make Mr. Tang dissatisfied.

Tang Shaoying could only take a deep breath and said, "Father, don't worry, I will find the arsonist as soon as possible."

At this time, Tang Shaoxiong suddenly asked: "Brother, Bai Rufeng contacted you not long ago, right?"

Tang Shaoying said: "Yes, Bai Rufeng provided me with the investigation information of the special task force, which has involved some people who have close ties with our family."

Tang Shaoxiong said, "I don't know what you discussed specifically. I'll just share my own opinion... When I learned about the fire in Chaojiang City, my first reaction was that the task force had found substantial evidence of maritime smuggling. This evidence should have a lot to do with our family, so my eldest brother and the old man discussed it before deciding to take action... It seems that I thought too much."

Tang Shaoxiong's words seemed to be expressing his own inference, and he finally used "overthinking" as the final conclusion.

After listening to this, Mr. Tang frowned. Looking at Tang Shaoying's expression, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Tang Shaoying hurriedly said, "Second brother, don't let your imagination run wild. After Bai Rufeng handed me the information, I immediately reported it to my father. We all agreed that even if the task force had some evidence, the Tang family couldn't do anything radical. At most, they could cut off contact with those people in Chaojiang. How could they attack the task force?"

Tang Shaoxiong said with a smile: "Brother, don't misunderstand me. I was just saying it casually. We didn't do it. Just investigate it with peace of mind. I'm sure you can give a satisfactory explanation to the higher-ups."

"satisfy?"

Elder Tang said seriously, "This incident happened in East Guangdong Province. Regardless of whether it was done by the Tang family or not, the higher-ups will hold us responsible. Those people will not be satisfied until the Tang family is dealt with."

"The balance between us and the Bai family is about to be broken. In addition to national sanctions, we also have to face the counterattack of the Bai family!"

Mr. Tang's voice was rhythmic and his three sons were completely silent.

Tang Shaohao thought for a moment and said, "Father, could this be a self-torture trick directed and acted out by Chief Bai? They deliberately..."

Elder Tang waved his hand, interrupting Tang Shaohao and saying, "Impossible. Old Bai is indeed very skilled and cunning, but he is not a ruthless person at heart."

Tang Shaoxiong felt that the time was right, and said with a smile: "Father, I see that my eldest brother is under a lot of pressure, and we can't just sit there. If you need me, I can help my eldest brother share his worries."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Tang Shaoxiong.

Tang Shaoxiong explained: "Shengtang Group also has some industries in Chaojiang City. I can use private channels to conduct some investigations and find out who is behind this matter!"

Mr. Tang asked, "What do you think, Boss?"

Tang Shaoying said: "I will do my best to investigate the truth as soon as possible, help the Tang family clear their suspicion, and minimize the country's crackdown on us."

"I think Lao Er's idea makes sense. Civilian investigations have some unique advantages, and the methods can be more radical, which will naturally make them more efficient. In addition, if the investigation really can't produce any results, Lao Er can also find someone to take on the responsibility."

After a pause, Tang Shaohao asked word by word: "Second Brother, can you handle it?"

Looking for someone to take on these responsibilities?

Everyone understood instantly that Tang Shaohao needed someone to take the blame.

Tang Shaoxiong said with a smile: "Boss, this is a great idea. No matter what, we must safeguard the dignity of our country. If we fail to solve the case, the higher-ups will probably resort to drastic measures. By then, both the big tigers and the small flies in East Guangdong Province will be in trouble. We might as well find a scapegoat."

Mr. Tang said, "Okay, second brother, you should first plan how to cooperate with your eldest brother in the investigation, and also look for a qualified candidate in case of emergency."

Tang Shaoxiong nodded immediately.

Elder Tang rubbed his brows and said, "You all need to take this matter seriously and never take it lightly. Let's do this for now."

This concludes the video conference.

Tang Shaoying and Tang Shaoxiong were both out of town, and only Tang Shaohao was still standing next to Old Man Tang.

Mr. Tang said, "The matter of Chaojiang is very complicated. I want to hear your opinion."

Tang Shaohao said: "I can think of four possibilities. First, the eldest brother did it. Second, the second brother did it. Third, the Bai family directed and acted it out. Fourth, the local forces in Chaojiang were too shallow to realize the seriousness of the problem."
