Chapter 122 The Closest One Must Be Saved
When Tong Luoluo rushed to his father's place, he saw his father and Long Dehai sitting in the small courtyard, and they had already finished most of the bottle of white wine.
"Dad, I have something to ask you." Tong Luoluo said bluntly.
Tong Husheng glanced at his daughter, a little surprised, "Lolo, why are you here? What's the matter?"
"Dad, are you hiding something from me?" Tong Luoluo stared into his father's eyes, trying to find the answer.
Tong Husheng was stunned and avoided his daughter's gaze. "Lolo, what are you talking about? How could I hide something from you?"
"Dad, I'm not a child anymore. I can sense that something is wrong with you recently." Tong Luoluo insisted, "If you really have something wrong, I hope you can tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it."
Long Dehai also saw the clues. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said softly: "Husheng, Luo Luo has grown up. She has the right to know the truth."
Tong Husheng sighed, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Lolo, actually... there are indeed some things I haven't told you."
Tong Luoluo's heart tightened, she was finally going to hear the truth.
"Many years ago, I was still a young and energetic young man. In order to make a living, I embarked on a road of no return." Tong Husheng's eyes became deep, as if he had returned to that era. "At that time, I met some people, and we did some... not so glorious things together."
Tong Luoluo felt mixed emotions when she heard her father's words. Although she had guessed that her father might have some unknown past, she still found it hard to accept when the truth was laid out before her.
"So, are those people threatening you now?" Tong Luoluo asked.
Tong Husheng nodded, "Yes, they got the information about my past from somewhere, and now they want to blackmail me."
"What do they want?" Tong Luoluo asked.
"Money." Tong Husheng smiled bitterly, "They want me to pay a large sum of money to shut them up."
Tong Luoluo took a deep breath and secretly vowed to resolve this matter. She couldn't let her father get hurt again.
"Dad, don't worry, I will handle this matter." Tong Luoluo said firmly.
Long Dehai looked at Tong Luoluo with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. He knew that this girl had the same tenacity and wisdom as her father.
"Lolo, just tell me if you need any help." Long Dehai said, "Although I'm down and out now, I still have some connections and resources that can be used."
"Thank you, Uncle Long." Tong Luoluo looked at Long Dehai gratefully, "I will find a way to solve this matter."
After saying that, she turned and left the courtyard. She knew that time was running out and she had to act quickly.
Tong Luoluo immediately began to investigate those who threatened her father after returning to the company. She used all her connections and resources to find the weaknesses of those people.
However, things were not that simple. Those people seemed to be very cunning and always managed to evade her tracking.
Just when Tong Luoluo felt helpless, a mysterious person contacted her.
"Miss Tong? I know about your father." The mysterious man's voice was deep and powerful. "If you want to know more about those people, come and meet me."
Tong Luoluo was shocked. Who was this mysterious man? How did he know about her father? She was full of doubts and vigilance.
"Okay, where shall we meet?" Tong Luoluo asked.
"Meet at the abandoned factory in the east of the city at 10 o'clock tomorrow night." The mysterious man said and hung up the phone.
Tong Luoluo knew that this was a risk, but she had to go for her father. So she began to prepare an action plan and secretly contacted Lao Chen and Rong Yu, hoping that they could protect her secretly.
The next night, Tong Luoluo came to the abandoned factory in the east of the city as agreed. It was a desolate place with only a few dim street lights flickering, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Suddenly a dark shadow walked out from the darkness.
"Miss Tong, you're here." The mysterious man took off his hat and revealed his true face—it was actually the man who had helped Rong Yu to gather information before!
"It's you!" Tong Luoluo said in surprise, "How do you know about my father?"
"You don't need to know this." The man said coldly, "I just want to know if you are willing to cooperate with me to deal with those people."
"Why should I believe you?" Tong Luoluo asked warily.
“Because we have a common enemy,” the man said, “and I know their weaknesses.”
Tong Luoluo was silent for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll cooperate with you, but you have to tell me your plan."
The man smiled slightly. "It's simple. We need to secretly collect evidence against those people and then take them down in one fell swoop."
In the next few days, Tong Luoluo worked closely with the mysterious man and began to secretly collect evidence against those people.
In fact, Tong Luoluo also knew him. If others had evidence, they would never produce it easily!
What's more, this incident may have happened many years ago, and now people are digging it up just to extort money from Tong Luoluo!
That night, Tong Luoluo lay in bed and thought over and over again. She always felt that the mysterious man appeared too suddenly, and everything seemed like a pre-designed script. But she also thought that she had no choice now and could only take it one step at a time.
The next day, she came to the company early in the morning, ready to follow up on the mysterious man's plan. As soon as she sat down, Lao Chen walked in.
"Lolo, where did you go last night?" Lao Chen asked worriedly, "I heard you went to the abandoned factory in the east of the city, but it's not safe there."
"It's okay, Uncle Chen." Tong Luoluo smiled and comforted him, "I just went to meet a friend and find out the situation."
Lao Chen frowned. "Friend? What kind of friend would make you go to a place like that at night to meet him?"
"Hey, Uncle Chen, please stop asking." Tong Luoluo turned his head away impatiently, "I know my limits."
Seeing her like this, Old Chen could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, since you said so, I won't interfere any more. But you have to be careful and don't put yourself in danger."
"Got it, Uncle Chen." Tong Luoluo responded and started working.
In the next few days, Tong Luoluo and the mysterious man continued to work closely together.
They collected a lot of information about the threat actors through various channels and developed a detailed plan.
However, the night before they were about to implement the plan, the mysterious man suddenly lost contact.
Tong Luoluo waited anxiously all night, but never received any news.
Early the next morning, she decided to go find the mysterious man herself.
She came to the abandoned factory where they had met before, but found it empty.
She looked around and suddenly found a black envelope placed in a conspicuous place.
She walked over quickly, picked up the envelope, opened it, and saw a note and a photo inside. The note said, "The plan has changed. Meet at the West Pier at 8 o'clock tonight."
The photo shows one of the threat actors talking to a mysterious man wearing sunglasses.
Tong Luoluo took a deep breath. She knew that this mysterious person was probably the mastermind behind the scenes. She decided to go to the West City Pier tonight to find out.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tong Luoluo arrived at the west city pier on time.
She saw a cargo ship docked at the shore and a mysterious man standing at the bow waiting for her.
"You're here." The mysterious man said calmly, "We have to act quickly. Those people have already noticed it."
"Who are you?" Tong Luoluo couldn't help asking, "Why are you helping me?"
"I'll tell you about these issues after this is over." The mysterious man turned and looked at her. "The most important thing now is to solve the problem at hand."
Tong Luoluo nodded and followed the mysterious man onto the cargo ship.
They quietly approached the ship where the threats were and then took quick action.
After a fierce fight, they successfully subdued the threat actors and found the mastermind behind the incident.
It turns out that the mastermind was an enemy of Tong Husheng many years ago. He had always held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on the Tong family.
Tong Luoluo and the mysterious man handed the man over to the police and successfully rescued the kidnapped Tong Husheng. When Tong Husheng saw his daughter, he was so excited that he shed tears.
"Thank you, Luoluo, for saving me." Tong Husheng hugged his daughter tightly. "I really didn't expect you to be so brave and strong."
"Dad, I'm glad you're okay." Tong Luoluo also shed tears of emotion. "I will definitely work harder to protect you in the future."
After the incident was over, the mysterious man said goodbye to Tong Luoluo and took off his sunglasses to reveal his true face.
It turned out that he was a private detective who had been secretly investigating the case.
"Thank you." Tong Luoluo looked at him gratefully. "Without your help, I might not be able to complete this task."
"You're welcome." The private detective smiled and said, "I just did what I should do."
After saying that, he turned and left the dock and disappeared into the night. Tong Luoluo returned home with a full sense of accomplishment. She knew that from today on, her life with her father would be better.
In the following days, Tong Luoluo's life returned to its former peace. The threatening perpetrators were arrested by the police one by one, and the mastermind behind the scenes was punished as he deserved. Her relationship with her father became closer because of this incident.
Whenever night falls, Tong Luoluo always stands in front of the window and recalls that thrilling night and the help of the mysterious man.
She knows that there are still many kind and just people in this world who have been silently protecting herself and those around them.
