I could feel that Liu Qingzhong really wanted me to follow him.
Of course, I will continue to "behave" like this in the future - until I defeat him.
We chatted first, eating and looking at the scenery in the yard at noon.
In fact, there is a floor-to-ceiling window between the balcony outside the door and the yard. We can see various small animals in the yard.
It's a zoo in disguise.
"Secretary Liu, your cousin is actually quite capable."
I deliberately pretended not to know, "I heard that there was a financial crisis before and many real estate markets collapsed. How can he maintain it like this?"
"That's just me helping out a little bit."
"We are all from our own family, and I will tell you something. My relatives all came from the countryside to establish relationships."
Liu Qingzhong drank a lot of wine and was able to talk things out.
He doesn't have much wariness about me anymore.
Of course, it is impossible for me to ask some key questions, that is, I can use some words during small talk.
According to Liu Qingzhong himself, when he was a child, his family had a good relationship with Liu Qingyi's family.
Therefore, when he became deputy secretary, Liu Qingyi's father came to establish connections, hoping that his son would also benefit from it and make some money.
"So let him have a sinecure."
Liu Qingzhong spoke slowly, "If it weren't for my help, his real estate company would have collapsed without waiting for the financial crisis."
These can actually be used as evidence, but I didn't record them.
Later there was more evidence that was fatal to Liu Qingzhong, and there was no need for me to pursue this one.
I just want to know from Liu Qingzhong’s mouth the general relationship between him and Liu Qingyi’s real estate company.
The goal has been achieved, and I also have some "extra gains":
Liu Qingzhong looked half drunk, but in fact he was no longer wary of me.
This means that I have slowly penetrated deep into his insides and am only one step away from becoming that key confidant who can reveal everything!
After finishing the meal, Liu Qingzhong paid the bill.
If it were my first time here, I might be shocked by the prices.
Of course this isn't the first time I've eaten here.
Gradually, just a few steaks, a few barbecues, etc., turned out to cost a full 10,000 yuan.
At this price, robbery would not be as profitable as them.
Liu Qingzhong swiped his card, signed the form, and took me out.
The driver was waiting outside the door. When he saw Liu Qingzhong opening the door, he immediately went up to greet him.
At this time, I felt something was wrong.
Even though I had met this driver many times, he was always so reticent that I barely got to know him.
But as long as Liu Qingzhong goes out, it seems that the driver is always there.
Taciturn and secretive enough...
I'm going to approach this driver and see if I can get anything out of him.
"I'm here to help."
I said putting on my shoes and helped me to the other side.
Only then did I realize that I had not looked at the driver carefully at all.
While helping Liu Qingzhong back into the car, I looked at the driver carefully.
The driver was young, seemed to be about my age.
He had been wearing light-colored sunglasses, as if he was covering something up.
I don’t know why, the more he looks at me, the more I miss Liu Qingzhong.
Maybe it's an illusion.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work."
He and I worked together to put the somewhat heavy Liu Qingzhong into the car. I patted his shoulder and smiled slightly.
"fine."
He just replied these two words lightly, then got into the car expressionlessly and prepared to drive.
I was a little stunned, not sure if this was an illusion, but...
There was some hostility in his eyes...
"Send Shen Fan back first."
After I got in the car, Liu Qingzhong spoke slowly, seemingly still drunk.
It was not easy for me to deal with this driver in the car, so I thought I would find an opportunity to chat with him alone later.
When I arrived at Xintiandi, I got off the bus.
Of course, I still said thank you to him when I got off the bus.
I don't know where his hostility comes from, but I have a vague feeling that this is a crisis - an opportunity full of danger.
When I got home, I saw leftover pizza on the table along with various bags and boxes, and I knew they had had a big meal.
But before I could say anything, Su Yu couldn't wait to run over.
"how is it going?"
"Where did you and Liu Qingzhong go to eat?"
Amelia Su's face was full of curiosity and expectation.
Maybe she also wants me to take her to eat.
"I don't know where it is. It's expensive and tastes terrible."
I shook my head slightly, "A luxurious villa in the suburbs."
"ah?"
"I think I've eaten there before, the one with a zoo in the suburbs, right?"
Su Yu said a little disappointed, "That store's food is rubbish! My grandpa didn't want to eat it after eating it once!"
Indeed, apart from being expensive, that villa has no other special features.
"Let's prepare for the New Year."
"Is everything arranged?"
I waved my hand slightly and turned the topic to the Chinese New Year.
"Everything is already being prepared!"
Amelia Su said excitedly, "You will definitely like it!"
"That's almost it. Save some money."
I smiled and looked at Chen Cheng.
"Why are you looking so sad today?"
I sat on the sofa next to Chen Cheng.
"Chen Lihe is here."
Su Yu said, "That guy actually wants to hide here with us!"
"hide?"
Only then did I remember that Chen Lihe had been "publicly declared" to be an undercover agent. If he still dared to show off in Hezhou, he would probably be dead.
"We kicked him out!"
Su Yu said, "I'm so angry just looking at that rotten gambler!"
At least when it comes to Chen Lihe, Chen Cheng and Su Yu are on the same front.
"Just drive him out. There should be no problem, right?"
"He is looking for you and has traveled to several places looking for you."
After Su Yu’s reminder, I discovered that there were a bunch of missed calls on my mobile phone—all from Chen Lihe.
I thought about it, even if I want him to get out of Hezhou, I have to give him a way.
I want him to live to experience this torture.
"I'll go take care of Chen Lihe."
"Otherwise he will come to harass me again in the future."
I said and patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder.
After I walked out of the door, I called Chen Lihe.
"Oops, you finally answered the phone!"
"I was having dinner with Secretary Liu earlier. What's the matter?"
I asked deliberately pretending not to know anything.
"I don't know why I became their undercover agent. Son-in-law, only you can help me!"
I heard a hint of happiness in Chen Lihe's voice.
"How can I help?"
"Only you can prove that I am innocent!"
He said and gave an address, "We'll meet there, you have to help me!"
"Okay, I'll come right away."
Having said that, I have no intention of going without any preparations. I always prepare myself just in case.
I hung up the phone, thinking, and went downstairs.
Just when I was going downstairs, Yu Wenbo was waiting for me downstairs.
"Brother Shen, there is news over there."
"We talked in the car."
