Chapter 31 Secret Meeting (Part 1)
1:00 AM. Small conference room at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The room was brightly lit by fluorescent lights, making it seem like daytime. Five people sat around the small conference table: Li Changnian, Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department; Zhang Aijun, Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau; Qi Shundong, Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation; Niu Yonggang, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and head of the security department of the provincial branch of the People's Bank of China; and a beautiful young woman in her early twenties. It turned out to be Qi Xiaoya, Shang Rong's new friend.
"Distinguished leaders, let me first introduce the progress of the recovery of the stolen funds in the Zheng Gang case, and then I will introduce the next steps,"
Qi Shundong said, looking at the notebook in front of him. "
Our investigator, Comrade Sun Xiaoyu, has successfully approached Shang Rong in the name of my daughter, Qi Xiaoya, but so far, we haven't found any valuable intelligence."
"What do you mean by 'approached'? How close? And how did you approach him?"
Deputy Director Li Changnian interjected.
Director Zhang Aijun of the Municipal Public Security Bureau stood up and said, “Let me first introduce Comrade Sun Xiaoyu. Comrade Xiaoyu was specially recruited by our bureau this year from the Senior Police Academy. She was undergoing training at the base for a while and only returned to her post two months ago. Don’t underestimate Xiaoyu! You may have all heard of her grandfather, Comrade Sun Gan, the former Deputy Director of the Second Department of the General Staff, a veteran of our country’s intelligence front. Her father is Comrade Sun Haiyang, the Director of the Intelligence Department of the Central and Southern Military Region. After learning about the Zheng Gang case, Xiaoyu volunteered to participate in the work of the embezzlement recovery team, which I personally approved.”
“Good! A daughter of a military family, from an intelligence family.”
Li Changnian couldn’t help but applaud. Sun Xiaoyu stood up and saluted the leaders.
“Xiaoyu, please introduce the situation regarding the question Director Li just asked,”
Qi Shundong said.
Sun Xiaoyu pondered for a moment before speaking, “I’ve been monitoring Shang Rong for over a month and haven’t noticed anything unusual. However, a month ago, Shang Rong suddenly left his mistress Zhang Yan’s house and returned to his old house alone, which caught my attention. My two-person monitoring team monitored Shang Rong 24 hours a day. They discovered that after moving into the old house, Shang Rong stayed home almost entirely for about a month, during which time only one woman named Gao Yan came to visit. This Gao Yan is the Human Resources Director of Huiya Company. We analyzed that Gao Yan had two possible reasons for visiting Shang Rong: one, to report on work; two, to satisfy Shang Rong’s physical needs. We believed that Gao Yan was not the most important among Shang Rong’s three mistresses and should not know about Shang Rong’s secret, so we didn’t disturb her.”
“What exactly has Shang Rong been doing at home for a month?”
Director Li asked, seemingly to himself.
"Because we haven't yet dealt with Shang Rong, and besides, the windows are covered in ice in winter, so even without drawing the curtains, we can't see inside. Therefore, we're just speculating. We think he might be recuperating, or perhaps he's hiding at home speculating in stocks,"
said Niu Yonggang, director of the People's Bank of China. "We've already investigated Shang Rong and his mistress's bank and stock market accounts. Lin Zihui has over 200,000 yuan in cash, Zhang Yan has over 50,000 yuan, and Gao Yan has over 60,000 yuan. Shang Rong has over 20,000 yuan. We only found one stock market account belonging to Shang Rong, with over 3 million yuan in capital. The initial capital was only over 500,000 yuan, and the remaining 2 million yuan was profit, every transaction verifiable.
" Director Zhang Aijun laughed, "This Shang Rong is a stock market expert! Turning 500,000 yuan into over 3 million yuan is truly impressive!"
Qi Shundong laughed, "But last year he lost everything in the stock market, and even his wife divorced him. He's hardly an expert."
Seeing that the topic had veered off course, Li Changnian tapped the table and said, "Please, Comrade Sun Xiaoyu, continue."
Sun Xiaoyu continued, "..." My approach to Shang Rong was purely accidental. It was the night before he ended his reclusive life. Shang Rong went out alone, and a member of my group and I followed him. He was acting strangely; he wandered the streets alone for almost an hour in the cold before finally entering the city's famous Wild Wolf Bar. I followed him in alone, and he ordered a bottle of vodka and drank it all by himself. Later, he watched several art school students dancing on stage, and I recognized Qi Ju's daughter, Xiao Ya, among them. When the dance ended, Shang Rong spoke a few words to a waiter. I stopped the waiter and asked him what was going on; it turned out he wanted Xiao Ya to sit with him.
Qi Shundong's face turned bright red upon hearing this, but he remained silent.
Sun Xiaoyu glanced at Qi Shundong and continued, "The bar was dimly lit, and the stage was about twenty meters away from Shang Rong. Plus, the performers were all wearing costumes and makeup. I figured my height, age, face shape, and hairstyle were similar to Qi Xiaoya's, so if I changed clothes, Shang Rong definitely wouldn't recognize me. So I warned the waiter and went to sit at his table as Qi Xiaoya. We chatted for over an hour, and my intuition told me he hadn't discovered the switch. Later, when he took me home, I didn't try anything funny; I just parted ways with him at the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's residential compound and exchanged contact information."
"Brilliant! No wonder you come from an intelligence family; you can adapt to changing circumstances and seize opportunities,"
Zhang Aijun praised.
Li Changnian, however, fell into deep thought. Zhang Aijun looked at the old director and said, "Old Li, do you have any questions?"
Li Changnian came to his senses and said to Qi Shundong, "Shundong, you should first talk about the basis for your decision to use Shang Rong as the breakthrough point
in recovering the stolen money. This way, combined with Comrade Sun Xiaoyu's investigation materials, we can get some insights." Shang Rong cleared his throat and said, "At first, I didn't connect Shang Rong with the stolen money. It was Shang Rong's hint that provided an important clue for arresting Zheng Gang. If Shang Rong were involved in this case, he wouldn't want us to arrest Zheng Gang, and he wouldn't have given me that important hint." "
Could it be that Zheng Gang had some connection with Shang Rong after he was brought to justice?" Li
Changnian asked.
This was precisely the turning point. We believed Zheng Gang's ill-gotten gains were definitely hidden somewhere, and he would have passed on this information—the location of the hidden money—to someone before he was brought to justice. To say that Zheng Gang intended to take the money to his grave seemed inhuman, and I simply didn't believe his delirious confession that he buried the money by a pond and it was dug up. Nevertheless, I still sent people to conduct a thorough investigation around the ponds where Zheng Gang frequently fished, and found no signs of digging that met technical standards.
Regrettably, since Zheng Gang's imprisonment, not a single person has visited him. We investigated... "We checked Zheng Gang's relatives. Besides his ex-wife, he only has a father suffering from dementia. We've ruled out his ex-wife's involvement, otherwise Shang Rong wouldn't have openly kept her around. As for the 500,000 yuan refund, it was indeed Shang Rong who asked Zhang Yan to return it. He tacitly admitted it during my conversation with Shang Rong. His condition was that we wouldn't pursue Zhang Yan's responsibility, and in fact, we didn't intend to.
Zheng Gang's father has been suffering from dementia for six years, and his condition is very serious. If Zheng Gang gives him the money, I think the old man might use it as toilet paper."
Several people chuckled.
"So Zheng Gang's father isn't of much value. So who will Zheng Gang pass this information on to? We've been waiting."
Qi Shundong glanced at the remaining people and stared at Li Changnian, saying, "If it weren't for the report from our informant at Detention Center Line 5, we would have almost missed a major discovery."
Everyone pricked up their ears and stared at Qi Shundong, but Qi Shundong picked up his water glass and gulped down some water.
After drinking his fill of water, Qi Shundong continued, "The day before New Year's Day this year. Everyone, please note this time. The day before New Year's Day, there were half as many police officers on duty at the detention center as usual. I believe that Zheng Gang deliberately chose this time.
It was on this day that Shang Rong went to the detention center to meet with Zheng Gang, and the detention center did not use any methods during the meeting, so to this day we still do not know what Zheng Gang said to Shang Rong."
Later, I specifically investigated this matter. It's fair to say that this meeting was a favor-based meeting arranged by the detention center in violation of regulations. The news was relayed to Yu Yongming, the director of the prison administration office, by a deputy director of the detention center. We also investigated Yu Yongming; it's safe to say that he's more of Shang Rong's personal representative within the prison administration than the director of the prison administration office. His job is to serve Shang Rong's projects within the prison administration.
He has certainly received many benefits from Shang Rong, though we currently have no evidence.
In short, through Yu Yongming, Shang Rong is currently the first person to have met Zheng Gang without any restrictions.
Li Changnian slammed his fist on the table, angrily saying, "There are such people in our public security force who disregard party discipline and national laws. To put it mildly, it's illegal and disorderly conduct; to put it more seriously, it's colluding with criminals. Those two cadres must be dealt with seriously."
Qi Shundong hurriedly said, "It's not the right time yet. If something happens to these two, it might alert Shang Rong, which would be detrimental to our subsequent plans."
Director Zhang Aijun slowly said, "Unfortunately, we can only speculate about the content of Zheng Gang and Shang Rong's conversation." "We still lack convincing evidence!"
Qi Shundong continued, "Also, I planned to invite Shang Rong to dinner that day to thank him for his contribution to solving the Zheng Gang case. But before I could even extend an invitation, his invitation came first.
On the surface, Shang Rong asked me to do a small favor, to inquire about the family situation of a company employee. I believed him at the time, but when we were almost finished eating, he suddenly became concerned about the remaining embezzled funds from Zheng Gang. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Shang Rong had slipped up.
First, he invited me to dinner about a month after he met with Zheng Gang. Second, he didn't ask about the whereabouts of Zheng Gang's embezzled funds, but rather inquired about our progress in recovering the funds, that is, he inquired about our attitude towards the embezzled funds. I remember giving him a helpless attitude at the time.
I can now say with some certainty that Shang Rong's dinner invitation was actually a test. Since he was testing the waters, he probably already had the money. The period when Shang Rong stayed home, as Xiaoyu mentioned earlier, was after he met with Zheng Gang and had dinner with me." The above is my basic judgment that Shang Rong is an insider or even the possessor of the embezzled funds. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Chapter 32 Secret Meeting (Part 2)
Qi Shundong's words made everyone fall into deep thought. After a long while, Li Changnian suddenly said to Sun Xiaoyu, "Shang Rong has never boasted about his wealth in front of you?"
Before Sun Xiaoyu could speak, Qi Shundong said, "Shang Rong is a very shrewd person. His shrewdness is a bit out of line with his age. This is also the conclusion I came to after several contacts with him. He would not flaunt his wealth in front of anyone."
Zhang Aijun said, "Xiaoyu, tell me about the second time you contacted Shang Rong. The more detailed the better."
Sun Xiaoyu opened a notebook and looked at it for a while before saying, "This time, I took the initiative to contact him. At first, he seemed very reluctant. I thought he had something important to do, but later I found out that he just wanted to go to Qingyuan Temple in the southern suburbs to burn incense. I asked to go with him, but he was quite feudal, saying that women cannot go with men to burn incense, etc. Later, I came up with an excuse and he took me." The incense-burning process itself wasn't anything special; I asked him what he wished for, but he wouldn't say. However, a small incident afterward has always puzzled me. An old monk who was performing the consecration ceremony recited a few verses, and Shang Rong seemed to be in a meditative state for several minutes, his expression quite strange. "
What verses?"
Li Changnian asked impatiently.
Sun Xiaoyu glanced at the notebook and said, "During the consecration ceremony, the monk recited four lines: 'The Buddha's teachings are vast, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, gold and jade have no spirit, the soul is solidified.' He didn't react much to these four lines, but he did react to the two lines the old monk said behind him when he was about to leave. Those two lines were: 'The head originally has no light, light comes from heaven.'" "
For a moment, several people were chanting a few verses repeatedly like monks, creating a buzzing sound in the meeting room.
Seeing that no one spoke, Sun Xiaoyu continued, 'On the way back, Shang Rong went to the nursing home in the southern suburbs to visit Zheng Gang's father. As soon as the old man saw Shang Rong, he grabbed him and kept shouting that he wanted to marry a wife, making Shang Rong quite embarrassed. It was really ridiculous.'
At this point, Sun Xiaoyu seemed to suddenly remember something and added, 'Speaking of Shang Rong's strange behavior, I remembered something that I can't explain either. It was after Shang Rong took me home that day. According to the surveillance team, not long after Shang Rong entered the building, a member of the team looked through binoculars at his window and unexpectedly discovered someone on the roof. When the lens zoomed in, it turned out to be Shang Rong. He seemed to be talking to someone, but he was definitely alone on the roof. It was a very cold night, and he talked to himself on the roof for over an hour. I just can't figure it out.'" The people in the conference room listened to Sun
Xiaoyu's account and felt a sudden, inexplicable fear. Qi Shundong felt goosebumps rise on his skin.
Li Changnian, however, remained calm, lighting his twelfth cigarette of the night and saying, "Don't be fooled by his feigned mystery. We must fully consider the enemy's cunning nature, even assuming he already knows about our actions, and how we should respond. Also, that monk must be investigated to see what his background is."
He then turned to Qi Shundong and asked, "Is it possible that Shang Rong knows Qi Xiaoya, or has any contact with your daughter?"
Qi Shundong replied, "It's unlikely. At that dinner, I only mentioned that my daughter was a student at an arts school; I didn't tell him her name, age, or grade. Besides, my daughter isn't attending school anymore. If Shang Rong connects Qi Xiaoya's name with mine and finds the school, he can only find this Qi Xiaoya."
Li Changnian nodded and said, "It seems your work is very meticulous. " Qi Shundong stood up and said, “
I’m here now to report on one of our bold plans. This plan is top secret and currently only known to the five of us. I’ve already submitted it to Director Zhang for review, and now
we’re mainly seeking Director Li’s opinion. This plan is based on Zheng Gang’s behavior in prison. According to multiple reports from our informants, Zheng Gang has a tendency to escape—I only say a tendency. But if given the opportunity, he might very well take the risk.
So our plan is to arrange an escape, of course, under our absolute surveillance. We will arrange for someone to escape with him. The escape will take place after the court verdict, when Zheng Gang will be sentenced to death. The mental pressure will be even greater then, and his sense of desperation will be stronger.
The purpose is: Zheng Gang will need escape funds after his escape, and it seems no one will help him right now, so he will risk using the stolen money, providing us with a direction for recovery.” Furthermore, assuming Shang Rong already possesses the stolen money, he will inevitably panic upon learning of Zheng Gang's escape. On one hand, if Zheng Gang gave the money to Shang Rong, he will try to contact Shang Rong for help. On the other hand, even if Zheng Gang doesn't contact him, he will certainly take action.
Moreover, if Shang Rong has indeed taken Zheng Gang's money, then he is now the one most hoping for Zheng Gang's death. Upon learning of Zheng Gang's escape, he might desperately try to silence him, thus exposing his true colors.
At that time, with Zheng Gang putting pressure on Shang Rong from the outside and Sun Xiaoyu closely monitoring him from the inside, we can promptly grasp any slightest movement. The plan involves many details, which I won't go into here.”
Li Changnian remained silent for a long time after listening. “The plan is good, but it's too audacious.” “
Have you considered that once Zheng Gang escapes and becomes uncontrollable, he will have hundreds of millions in funds, and with someone like Shang Rong secretly helping him, if he really gets away, we will become infamous nationwide.”
Inspired by your plan, I wonder, do we really have to have Zheng Gang actually escape? Can't we stage a fake escape?
The attendees exchanged glances. Zhang Aijun said, "That's a real eye-opener! This will put pressure on Shang Rong."
Qi Shundong said worriedly, "In that case, Shang Rong will only receive a message. If he remains inactive and just waits, our plan will fail. Furthermore, the scope is too broad, and maintaining secrecy will be difficult."
Li Changnian said, "Shundong is right. No one dares to make this plan alone. I'll take your plan back for a higher-level decision."
Qi Shundong said, "Director Li, please ensure secrecy."
Li Changnian pointed at Qi Shundong and laughed, "You don't even trust me anymore?"
Then he turned to Zhang Aijun and said, "I think I have a better understanding of Shang Rong now, which makes me worry about Comrade Xiaoyu's safety. I wonder how you've arranged things?"
Qi Shundong said, "..." "From the current perspective, Xiaoyu is safe. Even if Shang Rong discovers Xiaoyu's identity now, he won't take any action. He might only act desperately after his true identity is exposed. Besides, based on my understanding of Shang Rong, he probably can't even touch Xiaoyu's clothes."
Another burst of laughter followed. Li Changnian didn't laugh. He looked at Xiaoyu and said, "Undercover work is an extremely complex task, and all aspects must be considered. For example, Xiaoyu is young and beautiful. Doesn't Shang Rong have any interest in her? What if he makes improper moves? This isn't a problem with ordinary contact, but it's a problem to consider when conducting close surveillance."
Xiaoyu understood her superior's meaning. Blushing, she said, "Please rest assured, sir. I will handle this matter well. As long as it helps solve the case and recover state assets, I will weigh the pros and cons."
Li Changnian looked at Xiaoyu meaningfully and said, "We are all waiting for your good news."
After the meeting, Qi Shundong called Sun Xiaoyu to his office. Sun Xiaoyu joked, "Director Qi, I've been treating you like my daughter for so many days, and you haven't shown any appreciation at all."
Qi Shundong laughed, "I'd like to invite you to a fancy hotel for a meal, but are you brave enough to go? Shang Rong frequents those places."
Sun Xiaoyu sighed, "There's no hope until the case is closed. Even if you invited me, I wouldn't be interested.
" Qi Shundong looked at Sun Xiaoyu and said, "You'd better not come to the station too often these days. If you need anything, just call me. Remember to call him 'Dad' when he's around."
Sun Xiaoyu said, "Director Qi, do you think I'm some little brat? My grandfather wasn't a match for me when I was ten.
" Qi Shundong smiled and said, "Better safe than sorry. By the way, find some time to see Xiaoya and let her tell you about what's going on at school. I have a feeling Shang Rong will come to the school to see you."
"What's Xiaoya so busy with these days? I haven't seen her for a year,"
Qi Shundong sighed. "When you were ten, your grandfather was no match for you. My daughter is already 21. Do you think I, as her father, can still control her? Lately, she seems to be involved in some kind of modeling team. I objected to her doing this kind of thing, but what's the use of objecting?"
"Director Qi, there's something wrong with your thinking. What's wrong with modeling? Xiaoya studies dance; modeling is her specialty."
Qi Shundong waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about work. What are your plans?"
Sun Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't think the honey trap will work on this man much. He has three mistresses, all of whom are beautiful, so he's generally not easily tempted by other women. Plus, he's very shrewd. If he's really involved in a serious case, he'll be extremely cautious, especially with women. I think if I don't take the initiative to get close to him, he won't come looking for me. In time, he might even forget about me. Unless..."
"Unless what? We're talking about work, just say it."
"Unless I'm talking about feelings with him."
Sun Xiaoyu looked at Qi Shundong and said, " Shang Rong is a rational man. Such men have a strong sense of responsibility; once a woman holds a place in his heart, he'll always remember her.
Qi Shundong seemed lost in thought for a while before saying helplessly, "Xiaoyu, I'm not worried about your work. But judging from Director Li's tone today, our plan might not be approved! If we can't proceed as planned, I doubt you'll make any progress."
"Why do you say the plan won't be approved?"
Qi Shundong sighed again. "These days, leaders are afraid to take responsibility. Our plan is very risky. If something goes wrong, whoever approved it will bear the responsibility—and that's no small responsibility! So I don't think anyone will step forward to take that risk." "
Director Qi, you proposed this plan. If something goes wrong, won't you be the first to be held accountable? Since you're so willing to take the blame, don't other leaders have the same level of understanding?"
Qi Shundong smiled. "What a silver tongue you have. I worked my way up from the bottom, and to be honest, being a bureau chief isn't as satisfying as being a criminal investigation team leader. I really envy you guys, being able to fight on the front lines. I hope, as you say, that the higher-ups will approve our plan, then Shang Rong won't be able to escape our grasp."
Sun Xiaoyu felt a vague unease listening to Qi Shundong's words, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She had no choice but to take her leave; it was already 5 a.m.

Chapter 33: A Solo Meeting
Shang Rong hadn't expected that Luo Na, that little bitch, would actually call him. It seemed his master was about to show up, and the matter at the construction site was a gift to him. He had to find a way to give him a gift in return; Chinese people value reciprocity, after all. It would be impolite not to reciprocate. Impolite. Impolite.
A sly smile appeared on Shang Rong's face. It seemed he had already chosen a gift for his opponent.
Luo Na had never met Shang Rong, only heard Yang Jun describe her. In Luo Na's impression, Shang Rong was the kind of fierce and menacing figure, at least more formidable than the Russian Feng Yangge. Although the Russian was aggressive in bed, he was usually quite gentle with her. However, Luo Na was quite confident in completing the Russian's mission. How many men could resist her temptation? She didn't understand why the Russian would offer his woman to his opponent. Perhaps it was just perversion.
Luo Na nervously rang the doorbell of room 1805. A young, pale-faced scholar opened the door. "
I want to see General Manager Shang Rong. We had an appointment."
"I am Shang Rong. Miss Luo is very punctual. Please come in."
Shang Rong hadn't expected this little bitch to be quite attractive, almost as good as Gao Yan. Her eyes were even more alluring than Gao Yan's, but unfortunately, her lipstick was too bright. Shang Rong's quirk was that he never kissed women who wore lipstick, so Zi Hui and Zhang Yan never wore lipstick when they were with him.
As Luo Na entered, she kept glancing sideways at Shang Rong. Could this really be the Shang Rong who stole the Russian's business? Turns out he's just an ordinary pretty boy; he doesn't match the ruthless Shang Rong Yang Jun described at all.
Shang Rong closed the door and saw the woman swaying her hips as she walked in. Damn, every woman sways her hips, but this little bitch's swaying is way too exaggerated, almost like those prostitutes in Hollywood movies.
"Please hang my coat on the hanger, Mr. Shang, thank you!"
That coquettish voice almost made Shang Rong collapse to the ground.
How come he'd never encountered such a gem before? She'd brought stage art directly into real life.
The intense resentment he felt towards this woman earlier was somewhat diluted by her comical entrance. If it weren't for maintaining his dignity, Shang Rong would have already burst out laughing. But then he thought, who knows if this is just a weapon this little bitch uses to deal with men?
"Mr. Shang, could I borrow a light?"
The woman was already sitting on the sofa, holding a cigarette delicately in her hand, her legs crossed in a masculine manner. Despite the cold winter, she was only wearing thin stockings, and the white flesh of her skin could be seen at the hem of her short skirt.
Shang Rong lit a cigarette for the woman, then lit one for himself, and sat down on the sofa opposite her. "
Miss Luo, you can tell me what important matter you wanted to discuss with me now."
Luo Na giggled and said, "Judging from Mr. Shang's expression, you're still angry about that matter!"
"I should be happy about what you mean, thank you and your ex-brother-in-law for messing with me."
Shang Rong said, feigning anger.
"Sigh!"
The woman actually sighed. "
I didn't know Mr. Shang before, but I didn't expect you to have such a broad mind. Not only did you not blame my ex-brother-in-law, but you even made him the general manager of the entertainment venue. You men often say, 'When two countries are at war, each serves its own master.' Although I am a woman, I also have my own unspeakable difficulties. Since Mr. Shang can forgive Yang Jun, I think he won't hold a grudge against a woman like me."
Shang Rong almost spit out his cigarette. "I underestimated you. You've got a sharp tongue, haven't you? You've got me wrapped around your little finger with just a few words." Shang Rong chuckled dryly and said, "Miss Luo, you're quite the talker. You bit me and now you're licking me back. There's a difference between men and women in bed, but in business, it's a matter of life and death. Who knows who's doing whom? I really look down on your master. Always having a woman pave the way, aren't you afraid some man will take her?"
Luo Na chuckled after hearing this. "
Mr. Shang, you're really funny. I'll get straight to the point. Chairman Feng Yangge of Taiji Company wants to talk to you. It's about the prison bureau's project. Mr. Shang won't refuse, will he?" "
Miss Luo, did you just ask to meet me to pass on a message?"
Shang Rong stood up and walked to the window to ask.
"A phone call would have been enough, but I've long admired Mr. Shang and wanted to meet him."
Luo Na used her coquettish charm again.
Shang Rong was genuinely annoyed. "
Now that we've seen it, let's do some communication to reinforce the impression,"
Luo Na chuckled. "How do we communicate? Please instruct me, Mr. Shang."
"Take off your clothes."
Shang Rong looked out the window without turning around, waiting for the woman's reaction. After a long silence, he turned around and saw Luo Na lying naked on the sofa, her breasts trembling slightly, her eyes blazing with desire as she stared at him.
Damn it! I thought I was going to be raped, but she came prepared. What bad luck! I wanted to rape her, but I chose the wrong person. Couldn't you at least pretend to resist? Her skill at undressing is truly rare. For a moment, Shang Rong felt his gift to his opponent was rather unimpressive.
When Huiya Company opened, there were only three shareholders, no grand opening ceremony, the only ritual was the three of them drinking a toast of unity. This time, for the opening of the entertainment center, Fatty Wang and Yang Jun both advocated for a big celebration, and even Zi Hui, the money-grubber, said they should attract more customers. Shang Rong agreed and told them to go all out, the more lively the better.
The premise was that Zi Hui would represent the company at the celebration, and he himself wouldn't attend. Several people had practically talked themselves hoarse, but Shang Rong simply said, "I'm not going."
Shang Rong had his reasons; for him, the more low-key he was, the better. He wanted others to think he had no interest in business anymore.
The company had been completely handed over to Zi Hui; he no longer held any shares and, aside from his affair with Zi Hui, had no connection to the company. Attending the entertainment center's opening ceremony under these circumstances would inevitably lead to all sorts of rumors. Shang Rong didn't want to do anything right now.
He was well-versed in the I Ching, understood the principle of "a hidden dragon should not be used," and knew that the time to "meet the great man" hadn't yet arrived. What he needed now was enough patience; he just needed to listen carefully for news. He needed news of Zheng Gang's execution. When that news came, he, Shang Rong, would be soaring to the heavens.
Shang Rong lay on the sofa reading a book, imagining General Manager Zi Hui giving her speech at the opening ceremony, and also imagining Zhang Yan's curious look as she looked at Zi Hui. A smile involuntarily crept onto his face. Both women were VIPs at the ceremony today. Zi Hui was known as the company's general manager. Zhang Yan, on the other hand, stood out as the ex-wife of the notorious embezzler Zheng Gang and Shang Rong's mistress. Imagining his two women being fawned over, Shang Rong felt a surge of accomplishment. Women are naturally drawn to the limelight, and men should defer to them; those who try to steal the spotlight from women are fools.
Just as Shang Rong was smugly nodding his head, the phone rang. The nanny, Yang Sao, picked it up.
Shang Rong put his hand to his mouth and spoke in a mute manner to Yang Sao, meaning she should answer the phone and ask who it was. But Aunt Yang didn't understand her master's meaning and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mr. Li, are you going to answer or not? Damn it, how can I not answer when you're shouting so loudly? Zi Hui really can't find a good person; who can stand such a loud voice?" Shang Rong picked up the phone irritably. First, he heard intermittent sobbing, then he heard Qi Xiaoya's adorable voice. "
Brother Rong... come pick me up... I..."
Brother Rong! Is he that affectionate? Only two beauties call me "brother," but they only do it in bed. Oh, right, Xiao Qiaofei called me "brother." "
Xiaoya, what happened? Tell me slowly,"
Shang Rong tried to coax her gently.
"I'm homeless. Take me to find a house. I'll tell you in detail when you get here. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the family compound." "
Hello... Xiaoya... Hello..."
Why does this brat always hang up before I can even say anything?
Could it be that there's some kind of internal strife in the daughter of the police chief? Father and daughter turning against each other? Why? Does he not approve of her having a boyfriend?
Did Qi Shundong find out she was singing and working as a hostess at a bar? Or did someone else get her pregnant, disgracing the family? Shang Rong suddenly shuddered. Could it be because of me? What if that girl fell in love with me, went back and told her father, I disagreed, but she insisted on marrying me, and even threatened to kill herself, so I got angry... Anyway, I can't get too involved with the daughter of the police chief. Shang Rong was speculating wildly as he prepared to leave.
"Mr. Li, are you going out? Miss will ask me what to say when she comes back,"
Aunt Yang asked solicitously.
"Just say I went on a blind date." Looking at Xiaoya's swollen eyes, Shang Rong thought, "
This girl has really suffered a lot of injustice. She's usually such a lively and adorable girl, but now she's curled up in the car seat, looking so pitiful, it's truly heartbreaking." How could Qi Shundong not show any tenderness towards such a beautiful girl? Then he remembered they were father and daughter; the phrase "tenderness" didn't seem appropriate for Old Qi.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Can't you comfort me?"
Qi Xiaoya said coquettishly.
"Miss, you haven't told me what happened yet. How can I comfort you? I have to be specific, otherwise it'll just be empty comforting."
Xiaoya pouted and didn't speak for a long time. Shang Rong looked at the girl's charming appearance and wanted to hug and kiss her, but when he remembered she was the daughter of the police chief, that enthusiasm immediately cooled. "
Look at all those bags you're carrying, are you planning to elope with me?" "
Although he dared not take action, a little verbal sparring would still give him a thrill.
But the girl remained silent. Shang Rong glanced at her and saw a few glistening tears rolling down her face. Shang Rong pulled the car over to the side of the road, slapped himself, and said, 'Look at my stinking mouth! Come on! You should slap yourself to vent your anger.'"
He leaned his face toward the girl.
Xiaoya chuckled and lightly slapped him across the face. "
I'm already like this and you're still bullying me."
She pouted as if she was about to cry again. Like a pear blossom in spring rain.
Shang Rong quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't bully you anymore. Tell me what happened."
"I don't want to say. Find me a place to stay. I'm not going home anyway,"
the girl pouted.
Find a place to stay. He was frantically searching for a place to stay. "What if your father comes after me if I find you a place to stay?" "
Where can I find a place to stay right now? How about this, I'll take you to school, and you can stay in the dormitory for now, okay?"
"I'm a day student, where are there dormitories?"
Xiaoya said defiantly.
Turns out she's a fraud. "
You can stay with your classmates!"
"Are you out of your mind? It's winter break now, and besides, it's almost Chinese New Year, there's not a soul in the school."
Damn, looks like she's got me cornered. Shang Rong felt a pang of annoyance. If it were any other girl this pretty, Shang Rong would probably invite her to sleep in the same bed, let alone have a place to stay. But this girl wasn't just any girl; her father had a gun, and from the barrel of a gun, there are always innocent souls!
Seeing the man's troubled expression, Qi Xiaoya turned around and went to get her bag from the back seat.
Shang Rong grabbed her arm and said, "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
Xiaoya shook off the man's hand and said, "None of your business. I misjudged you. I'm a lowly girl, I..."
She started crying again.
Shang Rong couldn't bear to see her cry, and hardened his heart, saying, "What are you saying? Since you came to me, how could I abandon you? But you should at least let me think about it."
Xiaoya stopped trying to get her bag and just kept wiping away her tears with her head down.
Shang Rong thought for a long time and said, "I can provide you with a place to stay. But let me make this clear, you can only stay for a few days. Once you find a suitable place, you'll have to move out. If you stay too long, your family will cause me trouble. I'm a married man, so don't accuse me of keeping a mistress..."
Xiao Ya tilted her head back and snorted at him, "You stingy guy, keep what? You think I'll let you keep a mistress? As long as your wife doesn't come looking for you.
" Shang Rong said while driving, "Be careful, I keep several mistresses at home."

Chapter 34 Fatal Misunderstanding
Xiao Ya looked around the room, as if afraid someone was hiding there. Shang Rong ignored her and leaned on the sofa smoking.
Xiao Ya looked around and came back to sit on the sofa, hugging a cushion and said mysteriously, "This is where you keep your mistress, right?"
Shang Rong hummed and said, "I'm keeping you now."
Xiao Ya didn't care, but just rolled her eyes at the man and asked. "
Is this house usually empty?
No, someone lives here.
Who lives here?"
Xiaoya looked around, as if searching for someone.
"My parents! Your parents?"
Xiaoya got goosebumps all over and almost asked, "Your parents aren't dead?" But she suddenly remembered her identity and held back. "
Where did they go?
They live in the columbarium and come back to visit occasionally,"
Shang Rong said calmly.
Qi Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw down the cushion and screamed. She ran to Shang Rong's side, plopped down on the sofa, grabbed his arm, and said in a tearful voice, "Don't scare me! I'm scared."
Feeling the softness of a pair of small breasts pressed against his arm, Shang Rong laughed triumphantly. "
I thought modern college students were all atheists, but I didn't expect them to believe in this too."
Xiaoya pinched the man's arm, making Shang Rong wince in pain. Damn it, I get pinched more times a year than I live a full year. I have two pinchers at home, and now I've run into another one, even better than the other two. I wonder if there are any women in this world who don't pinch men.
Seeing the man's furrowed brow, Xiaoya laughed happily, "Serves you right, who told you to be so mean?"
Shang Rong grinned and said, "If I were being mean, you'd be virgins by now."
Hearing this, Qi Xiaoya blushed, grabbed a cushion, and smacked the man's head a few times. Damn. It's always pinching or using a cushion; why didn't she throw away these weapons women are good at?
"I'm hungry!"
Xiaoya commanded.
"Go find the refrigerator if you're hungry, coming to me won't help,"
Shang Rong said weakly, a cushion on his head.
Xiaoya stared at the man for a while, then snorted and went to find the refrigerator.
Perhaps because he'd been spending so much time in bed with two beauties lately, Shang Rong actually fell asleep on the sofa.
Qi Xiaoya came in after cooking and saw the man sleeping soundly. She stared at him for a while, then went to the bedroom to get a blanket and covered him. She then sat beside him, resting her chin on her hands, watching the sleeping man deep in thought.
A phone ring woke them both up at the same time. Shang Rong glanced sleepily at Xiao Ya on the sofa.
"Have you eaten? I'm waiting for you. You're sleeping like a log."
Shang Rong ignored Xiao Ya's words, took out his phone, and saw that it was Yu Yongming calling. "
Hello, it's me. What did you say? Suicide? When did it happen? Where? Can't I go now? Okay, okay, you arrange it, I'll go see her first thing tomorrow morning."
Hanging up the phone, Shang Rong sat there silently. Xiao Ya observed the man's expression. "
What happened? Tell me!"
Shang Rong suddenly lay down on the sofa, covering his face, and said, "A classmate of mine attempted suicide. She failed.
" Xiao Ya pulled the man up and said, "Can't you talk to me properly? Which classmate of yours attempted suicide?"
Shang Rong suddenly felt disgusted. Which classmate? The one your father put in jail.
But think about it, what does it have to do with a girl? "
A female classmate of mine."
"Are you going to see her tomorrow? Take me with you."
Xiao Ya pleaded.
"What are you going there for? It's not a good place." "
Shang Rong stood up and said.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ya used her ultimate move again, hugging Shang Rong's arm and rubbing her small breasts against it endlessly. "
Just take me with you, I'm all lonely here. Take me with you."
Shang Rong couldn't take it anymore and wished she could find a knife to chop off her arm. "
Okay, okay, I'll take you, I'll pick you up tomorrow. But I have to go now."
"Aren't you going to eat? You made me cook so much."
"Eat slowly, it's free anyway."
After saying that, she dashed out.
Xiaoya stood on the balcony watching Shang Rong's car disappear from sight before rushing inside. She stood in the center of the living room, surveyed the surroundings, and then focused her gaze on the computer. She quickly went over and turned it on. A few moments later, a prompt appeared asking for a password. Xiaoya repeatedly entered various passwords, all incorrect. On the third try, the computer automatically shut down.
Xiaoya pondered for a moment, then checked her watch; it was already 11 PM. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
"It's me. I can't open Shang Rong's computer. I'm removing the hard drive now. Send someone to pick it up and return it by tomorrow morning. Meet me at the intersection in front of his old house in half an hour. There's something else. Someone just called Shang Rong, saying his female classmate attempted suicide. It's clearly referring to Zhang Caixia. You know about this, right? What? My God! Even a businessman isn't as well-informed as the police. It's ridiculous."
That night, Shang Rong began having nightmares again, waking up repeatedly until he finally fell into a deep sleep in Zhang Yan's arms in the middle of the night.
He woke up again before dawn, feeling restless. He decided to get up and not sleep anymore. He went downstairs alone, washed up, and
suddenly thought of the girl in the old house. She must have been terrified last night. He shouldn't have said those things to frighten her; girls are easily scared. Imagining her huddled under the covers, he felt both amused and sorry for her. He grabbed his car keys and went out.
The house was quiet. Xiaoya hadn't gotten up yet. He quietly opened the shoe cabinet and changed into slippers. Just as he closed the cabinet, he saw a pair of red slippers inside. Looking down, he saw purple slippers on the floor. He started to wonder. The red slippers were Zhang Yan's, and the purple slippers were Zi Hui's. Yesterday, when he got slippers for the girl, he hesitated for a moment and specifically gave her the red ones. But now, Zi Hui's pair was on the floor. What was going on? Shang Rong tilted his head, thinking, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
Oh no! "That brat has a lover. She went out last night, probably to meet some guy. Maybe..." Shang Rong tiptoed and gently opened the bedroom door a crack. The scene on the bed wasn't what he imagined. He saw Xiao Ya wrapped in a blanket, fast asleep, her long eyelashes seemingly fluttering.
Shang Rong walked into the living room, lit a cigarette, and panted heavily. "Damn it, I thought you were as pure as snow, even offering you up to Buddha. Now look what happened! Buddha, with his keen eyesight, can't help but recognize you as a fake! I can't escape the accusation of deceiving my ancestors!"
Another voice chimed in: "What does her meeting another guy have to do with you? Who is she to you? Are you jealous?"
Regardless, Shang Rong felt like he'd swallowed a fly, utterly uncomfortable. What could she be doing out so late? He wondered how late she'd been out partying last night. No wonder she was sleeping like a log.
"Why are you here so early?"
Xiao Ya, wearing pajamas and with her hair disheveled, stood at the living room doorway.
"Why are you here so early? I'm here to catch you cheating.
"
Shang Rong asked, his face dark.
Xiao Ya was startled, seeing the man's angry expression. She wondered how he knew she had gone out.
Seeing the girl's silence, Shang Rong understood, confirming his suspicions. He stood up and looked the girl in her pajamas up and down, saying, "You don't look like a virgin at all! Actually, it's so cold, why did you sneak out in the middle of the night? Just call me in, just don't do it on the bed, a little mess on the sofa is fine. Yesterday I was wondering how a girl could rub her breasts like that..."
Xiao Ya finally understood what the man meant, feeling a surge of shame, indignation, and anger. She lunged at the man, knocking him down onto the sofa with too much force, and then pinning him to the ground, pounding her fists on his chest. She screamed hysterically, "Shang Rong, I'll fight you to the death, you bastard, go to hell..."
Then came an uncontrollable sob, her body collapsing limply onto the man.
Shang Rong was dizzy from Xiao Ya's violence. His chest ached from her pounding. Her body was warm, soft, and faintly fragrant; a few tears tasted salty in his mouth.
He finally managed to free himself from under the girl, sitting on the sofa, panting heavily. He looked at the girl, lifeless from crying, her plump little bottom dangling from the edge, half her fair waist exposed—a position familiar even to an adult man.
Shang Rong straightened his disheveled clothes, grabbed the girl's legs, and lifted her onto the sofa, laying her on her back. Her pajamas were lifted, revealing her flat stomach, a delicate belly button staring at him like a small eye.
Unable to bear it any longer, Shang Rong went to the bedroom and brought a blanket to cover her alluring body. Xiaoya had stopped crying and was only sobbing, tears still streaming down her face.
Shang Rong coughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so fierce. You almost killed me."
Seeing that the girl didn't speak, he tried to make conversation, saying, "I didn't want to come so early either, but I was worried you'd be scared."
Xiaoya suddenly threw off the blanket and sat up. Shang Rong jumped aside in surprise, but seeing that the girl was just sitting there blankly and didn't seem to be attacking him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a fawning smile, "Go back to sleep for a while, it's still early. Last night..."
Xiaoya's sharp eyes made Shang Rong swallow the rest of his words. He didn't dare to speak again.
The two sat quietly for a while. Then Xiaoya stood up and left without a word. Shang Rong wanted to follow her out, but as soon as he stood up, he sighed and sat back down on the sofa, running his hands through his hair. Women are the source of men's happiness and pain.

Chapter 35 True Feelings Revealed
On the way to the hospital, Xiaoya looked out the window without saying a word. Shang Rong stole several glances at her, having initially hoped she would explain what happened last night, but now he gave up hope.
The girl seemed exhausted, her usual smile completely gone, even her spiritedness seemed diminished, as if she had suffered a fatal blow.
Shang Rong cursed himself inwardly. She hadn't seemed to be in much pain when she was kicked out of her home yesterday, still retaining her usual charming innocence, but after less than a day with him, she was already so withered. It seemed that any flower would wither in his hands.
Arriving at the entrance of the prison hospital, he saw Yu Yongming pacing back and forth at the gate, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Shang Rong parked the car and honked the horn, and Yu Yongming ran over.
"It's so cold, why didn't you wait inside?"
Shang Rong said.
"If I were inside, how would you get in? What do you think this place is?"
Yu Yongming said, glancing repeatedly at Xiao Ya. When Xiao Ya met his gaze, he looked away again.
"How is she now? Is she alright?"
Shang Rong asked.
“It was discovered early, so she's not in serious condition. But the doctor said your female classmate has lost the will to live and is only thinking about suicide. She's being watched 24/7 now, just in case she tries to kill herself again,”
Yu Yongming said as they walked.
Shang Rong asked, “How are the conditions at this hospital? Should we transfer her to a better hospital?”
Yu Yongming laughed, “Have you forgotten your status as my old classmate? Unless this hospital can't treat her illness, we can go to another hospital. If it can be treated here, we have to treat her here. The doctor said she doesn't have any major problems; it's mainly a psychological issue. This kind of illness can't be cured anywhere else.”
Hearing Yu Yongming's words, Shang Rong suddenly remembered Zheng Gang and asked, “What was Zheng Gang's illness when he was hospitalized a while ago? Did you make any arrangements?”
Yu Yongming laughed, "What illness does that kid have? He just wants to fake a hospital stay and enjoy himself. Those old hands in the detention center all know this trick, but I didn't expect Zheng Gang to learn it so quickly. I've already arranged it for him; he's currently in the Second Prison Hospital."
He then went to the ward. The small room had six beds, but five were empty; only the innermost bed had someone lying on it. A woman in prison clothes sat by the door, probably the nurse Yu Yongming had mentioned.
A doctor who had accompanied them called out, "Zhang Caixia, someone's here to see you."
There was no response for a while, so the doctor was about to call again. Shang Rong waved his hand and went over. He saw Zhang Caixia with one arm sticking out from under the covers, an IV drip attached. Her hair was loose, and her eyes were closed, as if she felt nothing. Her face was pale, but very calm. Shang Rong thought his old classmate wasn't bad-looking, just average-looking, but now her face appeared serene and dignified. Shang Rong glanced at the doctor with a puzzled look.
The doctor said, "She can hear you when you speak; she's always been like this."
Shang Rong sat down on a nearby bed, unsure how to begin. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "At least open your eyes and see who's here to see you."
Still, there was no response. Shang Rong continued, "I've already inquired. You'll get a maximum sentence of five years. The law allows for parole now, and I'm confident I can get you out in three years. Three years will pass quickly. Why are you so distraught?"
Zhang Caixia remained unchanged, as if life had already left her body.
Shang Rong suddenly felt how pale and powerless her words were. Talking to someone weary of life was pointless; besides, how could outsiders understand the pain she endured?
Thinking of this, Shang Rong sighed deeply and said, "Perhaps living is painful for you, and death is a relief. But there are many ways to live. If you don't want to be a participant in life, you can be an observer. If you don't want to see the ugliness of life, or feel the coldness of the world, you can watch the sunrise and sunset. There's no need for you to die like this. Is there any point in dying like this?" Suddenly, Shang Rong saw Zhang Caixia's lips move a few times. "
Shang Rong."
Her voice was a little hoarse, but at least she spoke, and I still remembered her voice. "
Back in school, you were very eloquent. I admired you then.
If you hadn't always held your head high, I would have liked to be your friend. But..."
Zhang Caixia's lips moved a few times with difficulty and then fell silent again.
Shang Rong leaned closer and said, "Back then, I was young and didn't know what arrogance and inferiority meant. It was just bookish pride. You wouldn't hold it against me, would you? But now, facing a woman who dares to end her own life, I am willing to lower my head. From now on, I, Shang Rong, will always be your friend. I'm just afraid you'll look down on me, a mere mortal." Tears welled in Zhang Caixia's eyes. Shang Rong wiped them away a few times, and suddenly noticed a faint smile appear on Zhang Caixia's lips. "
Shang Rong, whether what you said is true or false, even today, I'm still happy to hear it."
Shang Rong felt as if he wanted to tear out his own heart and offer it to this person who had given up on life. His legs went weak, and he knelt before the woman's bed, sobbing. Then, a strange sadness overwhelmed him, and the sobbing turned into a wail, his grief no less than that of someone who had lost their parents.
If someone owes you, you will be angry. If you owe someone, you will be restless for life. At this moment, Shang Rong was burdened with a heavy sense of guilt, and he couldn't help but kneel before the woman's bed. Because, rather than saying the woman was desperate, it was the woman's appearance that made Shang Rong feel desperate. He only wanted the woman to live, so that he would have hope of redemption.
The others exchanged glances, all feeling bewildered. They seemed to be asking: What is he to her?
Zhang Caixia finally opened her eyes, which she hadn't intended to open again. Because no man had ever cried like this for her in her life, and although she wasn't dead, she felt she couldn't bear a man's tears.
She reached out her hand, still attached to the IV drip, and stroked the head beside the bed a few times, like a kind grandmother, or a wise person comforting a weeping fool.
Shang Rong looked up and saw the woman looking at him with pity, and his urge to cry intensified. But when he noticed there were a few other people there, he changed his mind.
"Caixia, aren't you a Catholic? You can't just abandon your duty when the Lord hasn't called you."
Only then did Shang Rong remember that the woman was a Catholic, so he said something inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, the woman sighed and said, "I haven't felt the Lord's revelation for a long time. I am a sinner, and the Lord has abandoned me."
Shang Rong hurriedly said, "How could that be? The Lord's revelation is everywhere; it just depends on how you perceive it. In the Lord's eyes, there are no sinners, only servants. The Lord will never abandon His lambs. In fact, the Lord is in your heart. You just don't know it."
Zhang Caixia listened to the man's seemingly ambiguous words, but smiled again. "
Shang Rong, go back. I won't die again. Just like you said, be an observer of life."
Shang Rong said with surprise, "Caixia, is what you said true? When you come out, I'll build you a church."
Zhang Caixia slowly closed her eyes, but the smile on her face did not disappear.
On the way back, because he had cried in front of the red radish and was in a gloomy mood, Shang Rong remained silent. This time, Xiaoya secretly glanced at him several times before finally unable to hold back and saying, "I didn't expect you to cry!"
Shang Rong felt extremely embarrassed and angrily retorted, "Are you crazy?! Who doesn't cry? I've only seen you a few times, but you've cried in front of me over eighty times."
Unexpectedly, Xiaoya wasn't angry. Shang Rong stole a glance and saw the corners of her mouth curling up as if she were secretly smiling. "
You still haven't explained where you went last night?"
Xiaoya stretched her neck and said, "Why should I explain to you? Who are you to me?"
Shang Rong argued, "Although I'm not anyone to you, since you're staying at my place, I have to be responsible for you, otherwise I can't explain it to your parents. From what you're saying, it seems like you're the guardian appointed by my parents. If you're not at ease, then don't go home and watch me all night!"
Xiaoya also started to argue unreasonably.
Shang Rong was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he stepped on the gas and sped towards home.
Qi Shundong had excitedly spent the entire night fiddling with the hard drive Xiaoyu had brought, but after cracking the password and looking through everything inside, he cursed Shang Rong a hundred times in his heart. It turned out the only valuable thing on the computer was over thirty pornographic films. He'd wasted most of the night.
This morning, he couldn't stop thinking about the monk. He felt there was something strange about the old monk Xiaoyu had mentioned. Two sentences could make Shang Rong pause for several minutes, meaning those two sentences had touched a nerve, or at least stirred his thoughts.
Could the old monk be an insider? He'd recited those two sentences hundreds of times, but he still couldn't decipher their meaning, nor could he see any connection to Zheng Gang's ill-gotten gains. Finally, he gave up completely, but he wasn't entirely convinced. It didn't matter if he couldn't understand the words, but he absolutely had to see the monk. With no other clues, the monk became the only lead.
Qi Shundong was a Communist Party member and a materialist, so he didn't burn incense or pray; he just wandered around the temple, searching for the old monk. He had met two people before, but after showing them the note with those two sentences written on it, he knew they weren't the people he was looking for.
Just as Qi Shundong was about to give up, a Buddhist chant sounded, and an old monk walked up to him and said, "Would you like your work blessed, benefactor?"
Qi Shundong noticed that although the old monk's robe was old, his face was distinguished. He possessed the air of a master, which made Qi Shundong feel a sense of respect. He handed over the slip of paper with both hands and said, "Please, Master, consecrate this slip of paper."
The old monk glanced at the two lines of writing on the slip of paper, laughed, and said, "Consecrating paper requires some skill. Please follow me, benefactor."
Without waiting for Qi Shundong's reply, he walked towards a small path.
Qi Shundong felt a little wary, but the monk was clearly the person he was looking for. How could he give up so easily? After a slight pause, he followed.
The monk and layman arrived at a small meditation room. The monk sat down on a meditation cushion, and Qi Shundong, seeing that there was nowhere else to sit, had no choice but to sit down on a meditation cushion as well.
The monk, holding the paper, said, "You don't want it consecrated, but rather you want this old monk to decipher these words, right?"
Qi Shundong said, "That's right, please enlighten me, Master."
The monk smiled and said, "This old monk doesn't know where you got these two sentences from. This old monk is just telling you not to waste your efforts. These two sentences are only useful to those who need them, and have nothing to do with ordinary people.
" Qi Shundong said, "How do you know they have nothing to do with me, Master?"
This time the monk laughed heartily and said, "It's very simple, because you can't understand them."
Qi Shundong thought to himself, "Isn't this nonsense? If I understood them, why would I come to you?"
"The master means that someone can understand these two sentences.
Naturally, someone will understand.
Who can understand them?"
Qi Shundong seemed very eager.
"The person who gave you these two sentences can understand them."
If it weren't for the old monk's age, Qi Shundong would have already started cursing. Isn't this clearly playing me for a fool? "
But as far as I know, these two sentences came from the master. Does the master not understand them?
Of course he understands.
Then please explain them to me, master. Even
if I explain, you still won't understand.
" No matter how well-mannered Qi Shundong was, he couldn't hold back any longer. He took out his identification from his bag and said, "I am from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. These two sentences are very helpful for us to solve a major case. I hope you can assist me."
The old monk chuckled and said, "You monks don't understand these words."
Qi Shundong stood up and said, "Monks are also citizens and have an obligation to assist us in solving the case. If you don't tell me, I will ask you to go back to the station to talk."
The old monk also stood up and said, "Young man, don't act rashly. If you listen to this old monk, you will live to be a few years old. If you don't listen to this old monk, you will die a violent death within two years. Do you want to listen?
" Qi Shundong was so angry that he shouted, "You evil monk, talking nonsense! Come back with me first."
"As he spoke, he reached for the monk's wrist. But for some reason, he couldn't grab anything. When he tried to grab it again, the monk had already slipped past him and floated away. Qi Shundong chased after him and came out to look, but the monk was nowhere to be seen. Qi Shundong stood there in a daze for a while, and suddenly felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart."
