"Okay, I'll go notify you right away."
With that said, I put down my phone only after I heard Liu Qingzhong hang up the phone.
I came to Li Jinming's room.
She was typing something on her laptop.
"Have things been dismantled?"
"Maybe……"
Li Jinming looked at me and spoke slowly.
Judging from his hesitant look, I guess she just said something. Whether the two disruptors did anything or not is another matter.
Looking at it this way, she does trust her men.
Generally speaking, this should also be done.
I can't say it's wrong.
"Liu Qingzhong is looking for us."
"We need to make arrangements for the future."
I spoke directly.
"I didn't mean to do it again after the New Year..."
Before she finished speaking, she read the meaning on my face.
"Let's go out first."
"Tell me on the way."
I can only hope that the two troublemakers don't bug my car too.
After borrowing a car from Wang Fan, I drove all the way out of the villa and headed to downtown Hezhou.
"This is what your two men did."
In the car, I sighed, "I guess they have been caught by Liu Qingzhong."
"You can't say that, they are professionals."
Li Jinming said, "Can you please stop being so hostile to them?"
"Why else would Liu Qingzhong let us go?"
"I don't really want to treat you to a meal, do I?"
I said with a mocking look, "This is Hezhou, not Guangdong and Guangxi!"
"Hello!"
"You understand, our Public Security Bureau is an official department!"
Li Jinming argued, "We have all done investigations, okay?"
Suddenly, I touched something like a small stone from the side of the gear lever.
Taking advantage of the red light, I looked down.
It looks like a button battery and is very discreetly attached to the side of the gear.
I picked it up and looked at it - a bug.
"You can explain it to him later."
After saying this, I will say no more.
If his two "good brothers" have been caught by Liu Qingzhong now, then all the conversations just now have been in Liu Qingzhong's ears.
I really shouldn't... have any contact with Li Jinming!
She should have continued to pretend on the ship and let her actions fail!
I didn’t know it would be so serious!
A hatred suddenly arose in his heart, and he even wanted to kill Li Jinming.
But now let’s think about how to protect ourselves.
Driving to the underground parking lot of the building where the Antiques Association is located, I sat in the car and thought of countless "quibbles".
"Done yet?"
"Get out of the car."
Li Jinming urged.
She is not afraid of being exposed. In the worst case, she will report it to the Public Security Bureau and walk away.
But what about me?
I talked for a while and opened the car door.
I can only hope that Liu Qingzhong didn't catch those two people. He didn't know about our conversations, including the conversations in the villa.
Taking the elevator all the way up, I wiped my face to make myself look energetic.
When I walked into the Antiques Association, I felt something was wrong.
There was no one at the front desk inside, and the entire Antiques Association looked empty.
This is definitely not because there are fewer people celebrating the New Year.
"Secretary Liu, we are here."
As usual, I knocked on the door and waited for Liu Qingzhong to open the door.
This time, there was no movement inside, and Liu Qingzhong quickly opened the door.
Although there was still a smile on his face, I felt vaguely weird.
"Here we go, come in and sit down."
He also welcomed us in with great enthusiasm.
The two of us sat on the sofa, and Liu Qingzhong didn't say anything but made tea for us himself.
"Shen Fan, how are you doing lately?"
"Are you unhappy working under me?"
Liu Qingzhong was sitting on the sofa, still smiling, but I could already see the caution in his eyes.
"No, everything is fine."
I pretended not to know anything until he clearly "accused" me.
"Then is there something you didn't tell me?"
"For example, what happened to Miss Li?"
Liu Qingzhong glanced at Li Jinming as he spoke.
He was like a frog boiling in warm water, approaching step by step and slowly increasing the "pressure".
"I've told you everything I need to tell you."
"I have nothing to hide from Secretary Liu."
I picked up the teacup freely and took a sip of tea.
"real?"
Liu Qingzhong looked suspicious, but still kept smiling.
I knew he must have some solid information and wanted to know where I stood.
Of course, Li Jinming still thought everything was normal.
"Shen Fan and I live well."
"I want to wait until after the Chinese New Year to find a house to live in."
Li Jinming also smiled.
"But...Miss Li, your subordinates seem to be a little disobedient."
When he said this, Liu Qingzhong's smile disappeared, and he seemed expressionless, but I could clearly see the murderous look in his eyes.
"What subordinate?"
"Miss Li, do you have any subordinates?"
I just pretended not to know and turned to ask.
If Li Jinming is really caught by Liu Qingzhong, I will sell her without hesitation.
I don't want to protect her when she indulges her subordinates in causing trouble.
"Subordinates? I actually brought two people here. My uncle told me to bring them."
"Say... to protect my safety."
Li Jinming admitted it generously.
"But why did your two men put bugs in my house?"
Liu Qingzhong clapped his hands as he spoke, and no fewer than ten people poured into the room.
"Okay, no more chatting, let's pull him up!"
As he said this, two people who were tied up were brought up by this group of people - the two undercover men brought by Li Jinming.
"Shen Fan, if I hadn't heard those words, I would have chosen to believe you."
"But...you found out about the Columbus Trust Fund behind my back...and you didn't tell me?"
A twisted smile appeared on Liu Qingzhong's face, "And Miss Li from the Public Security Management Department, what do you want to investigate about me?"
The two spoilers exposed my entire plan.
Moreover, it is just because of the personal grudges of this "love rival".
A few bugs made all my hard work for so long was in vain.
Li Jinming, Li Jinming, your men are so powerful!
"In addition to placing bugs in Secretary Liu's place, the two of them also placed bugs in my place?"
I'm going to give it a try.
Anyway, the worst-case scenario now is that I am discovered by Liu Qingzhong and "knocked to death" by him.
Why not give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle?
"Yes, my people followed them and caught them, and also heard some of your recent remarks."
"Want to arrange to investigate me carefully later in the year?"
Liu Qingzhong nodded slightly, and the smile on his face completely turned into anger, "I thought you really wanted to do things with me, but I didn't expect that..."
