Thank you!

Affected by Typhoon "Mekira," a sudden downpour swept through the
international .

This long-awaited rain finally brought a touch of
coolness to Zhonghai, which was still sweltering even though it was late September.

After the rain, the air in Zhonghai became much fresher.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Guopei finally woke up to the "pat-pat" sound of raindrops hitting the window.
Perhaps because he had gone to bed too late last night, he still felt dizzy.

Despite feeling unwell, Liu Guopei did not delay and got up immediately. As the saying goes, "Good people
who sleep too much will get sick, and sick people who sleep too much will die." Being decisive and not procrastinating is a habit he has cultivated over the years.

It was raining outside, and it was the weekend, so Liu Guopei didn't plan to go out for dinner. He quickly whipped up a simple meal
: a glass of milk, two fried eggs, and a sausage.

His wife must be up long ago and already working for several hours. Looking at the gradually
lessening rain outside the window, Liu Guopei thought to himself, although the quality of her work didn't affect his wife at all,
she always worked very conscientiously and diligently. His wife told him it was so that others wouldn't think of her as just
a pretty face with nothing else. She had always been a very self-reliant woman,
and that was precisely why he loved her.

Last night, the "Temptation of Wolves" forum resurfaced in Liu Guopei's mind. He was certain it
wasn't an ordinary adult website; what secrets did it hold?
Could really be the Qingdi Club? Although he wasn't sure, they at least had one thing in common:
ordinary people couldn't get in! According to the website, a yearly fee of 50,000 yuan only grants one entry per month
, with additional charges for expenses inside. Judging by this, this so-called "powerful club," even if not the Qingdi
Club, wouldn't be low-class! Since the Living Dead had given him the website link, he must
know about it. However, when he tried to ask yesterday, the Living Dead was offline, so he'd have to wait for him to log back on.

But since he had nothing to do today, Liu Guopei didn't want to just wait for the Living Dead to contact him. He decided
to check out "The Temptation of Wolves" again to see if he could get any valuable clues.

Returning to the erotic website's homepage, Liu Guopei felt much better than yesterday. At least he didn't feel
the same irresistible urge upon seeing the pictures and suggestive titles.

Yesterday he'd been looking at the main forum, so today he decided to try something different. After searching for a while,
a line of text caught his eye on the left side of the website: "Eighteen Styles of Wolf Friends." Curious,
Liu Guopei clicked on it.

"Welcome to the 'Eighteen Styles of Wolf Friends'! You can choose any of the eighteen packages below. We
have sexy beauties to provide you with in-home services. Eighteen different positions, eighteen unique styles, guaranteed
to let you enjoy yourself and experience a different kind of pleasure!"
This .

Below this message was a list of different packages for you to choose from. It turned out that the so-called "Eighteen Styles" were
eighteen types of packages you could choose from! They were also eighteen different sex positions!

Carp Rolling, Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg, Flat Road, Four Seasons of Prosperity, Flowers Blooming in Wealth, Upside-Down Hook,
Fishing for the Moon from the Sea Wind and Fire Wheel, Swinging on a Swing, One Sword Through the Heart, Ice and Fire, Crystal Love, Ants Climbing a Tree, One-Word Poison Dragon Drill,
Parisian Style, Moon Knight, Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, Old Man Under the Moon!

Liu Guopei looked at the eighteen packages listed on the page and was almost speechless.

Although he wouldn't actually choose this package, he was still quite surprised when he saw the names
. He and his wife usually used a very fixed missionary position, though he had considered
trying other positions. The key was that his wife was too traditional and unwilling to cooperate. Now, seeing these eighteen
packages , Liu Guopei was still a little curious and instinctively wanted to click on them to see what was going on.

Chapter Seventeen: Another Crazy Post.

With curiosity, Liu Guopei clicked on one called "Carp Rolling".

"The man lies flat on his back while the woman places a wooden stick between strips of cloth, grips it tightly with both hands, bends her knees and
hangs down. The man's penis penetrates deeply and rubs against her. The woman supports the man's body, turning around while manipulating him. When the cloth becomes twisted
, the woman suddenly lifts her legs off the ground and releases them, causing her body to spin in the air. The man's penis
spins pleasurably inside the woman's deep hole, bringing a different kind of pleasure! The man's hands can roam over the woman's sensitive areas and
freely enter and exit her breasts. This method allows both of them to receive intense stimulation in a very short time
!"

It has to be said that this position looks very seductive. Looking at these words, Liu Guopei couldn't help but
imagine this position. He felt a surge of heat in his heart and felt a little embarrassed. He casually clicked
on the next one.

"Moon Knight, the most primitive and direct method of sex. When engaging in rear-entry sex, the man
can use both hands to grasp the woman's buttocks, squeezing his penis to intensify the feeling of urgency.
During thrusting, the man can release his hands and use only his waist strength for the 'piston motion,' or he can use his hands
to support the woman's buttocks, or grasp her breasts to help with thrusting.
Initially , some women may not like this method, but once they try it, they may find themselves
enjoying it immensely. There are two methods of Moon Knight. One involves the woman kneeling, and the other involves the woman..." The man stands. When the woman kneels,
and both are on the same level (e.g., on the same bed), due to the intricate design of nature, the man kneeling allows for easy
insertion of his penis into the vagina without any adjustment. Alternatively, the woman can lower her head, which saves effort.
The woman can also lie on the bed with her feet on the ground, allowing the man to penetrate from behind. While thrusting, the man should use his hands
to caress the woman's body, kneading her breasts or slapping her buttocks. The woman will be incredibly grateful for your help, experiencing
multiple orgasms, and ultimately being completely conquered by you!

This is a position that exudes a sense of conquest for the man, riding on top of the woman and slapping her body.
He thrust repeatedly, listening to the woman's soft moans beneath him, wave after wave, until she reached climax. Liu Guopei
's desire reached a new height, and his penis gradually became erect.

Although his wife, so demure, would never cooperate with these positions, it still
excited Liu Guopei. Feeling his own embarrassment and realizing he couldn't get any useful information here,
Liu Guopei closed the so-called "Eighteen Styles for Wolf Friends," browsed the website again, and returned to
the forum main site from yesterday.

Upon entering the forum main site, Liu Guopei saw a new post at the top, posted that morning:
"Continuously updated, other people's wives sleep with me!" It was quite popular, with several hundred upvotes in the morning
. However, what caught Liu Guopei's attention was that this new post was from the same crazy
post he'd seen yesterday!

Was it another crazy post? Or was it the mysterious woman from yesterday's post? Liu Guopei
couldn't help but wonder.

Pink buds, perky breasts, a moist and rosy vulva—just thinking about the
post brought the image of that perfectly proportioned woman to Liu Guopei's mind.

Ultimately, Liu Guopei decided to check out the post that had just been published this morning. It was a post
only ; he'd deposited 1,000 yuan directly into his account via online banking and clicked on the post

. "Hello everyone, it's been a month! I'm back with more goodies! New photos taken last night,
still the same stunning young woman from last time. Here are three for you first, and I'll update irregularly later. As usual, if you enjoy the photos,
don't forget to upvote!"

Seeing the poster's words, Liu Guopei guessed correctly; it was indeed the woman from that crazy post he'd seen yesterday
. However, this new post only had three photos.

Chapter 18: Meng Yuan's Visit.

The first photo appeared to have been taken in a hotel, and from the window, one could see some high-end office buildings outside
, so the location was likely a high-floor room in a luxury hotel. The photo is a front-facing shot of a woman
wearing a Korean-style colorful polka-dot midi-length, V-neck, long-sleeved, fitted knit top—simple yet elegant. She
pairs it with distressed blue skinny jeans, the cuffs slightly rolled up, making her appear tall and slender. A
fringed , and she wears a pair of striking pointed-toe platform heels, exuding both sexiness and sophistication. She carries a
limited-edition LV bag, seemingly a new purchase, as a logo-like design
is faintly visible on the left side. Her face is blurred, but the overall outfit and clothing combination conveys a sense of high-class elegance and sophisticated style. There is no one else in the photo besides this woman, but from below the lens, a bare toe can be seen peeking out. A white sheet is visible in the background, suggesting the photographer was lying on the bed taking the picture and accidentally captured their own toe in the shot. In the second photo, a man appears next to the woman, shirtless, revealing a body of fat that looks disgusting. He's wearing baggy boxer shorts, and the bulge in them shows he's extremely aroused . He's pulling the woman's hand, as if trying to pull her into his arms. The woman's previously neatly knitted sweater is now disheveled and fluffy, revealing her black bra and fair skin underneath! However, the woman's pushing motion shows she's resisting . In the last photo, the man has the woman pinned to the bed, licking her face. The woman has turned her head to the side, and her sweater has been pulled down slightly, revealing her black bra. One fat hand is inside the bra, while the other is on her blue skinny jeans. The zipper is slightly open, and her pointed platform heels are gone, revealing her white feet sticking out from the edge of the bed! "That's all for today, but I'll update irregularly later. Don't forget to upvote after you've read them!" This was the poster's message, followed by some comments from other users, and that was it. After reading, Liu Guopei closed the page . Since there were only three pictures, he figured he'd update again next time. Then, bored, he browsed the forum. "Buzz—" Just as Liu Guopei was looking around, his phone rang. It was Meng Yuan calling. "Hey, Guopei, what are you doing?" Meng Yuan's loud voice came through the phone. "Damn, why is your voice so loud? You scared me half to death! I'm at home. Things haven't progressed much in Xicheng lately, and Typhoon 'Mikira' is approaching Zhonghai again. There's nothing to do." Liu Guopei was quite startled by Meng Yuan's voice and said irritably. "Okay, I'll keep my voice down. Damn, you're so particular! By the way, let's grab a bite to eat this weekend . Invite Zixin's wife and my niece Jiajia too; it's been ages since we've all eaten together." Meng Yuan lowered his voice and complained. "Zixin's on a business trip to Beijing and Tianjin, and Jiajia's at my mom's. Just the two of us, you come over, let's have a good drink! You still remember my place, right?" To be honest, Liu Guopei felt a little embarrassed. He'd been too busy lately , and Meng Yuan's rare visit to Zhonghai hadn't been his brotherly responsibility. "I know, Yayuan Community, Building D, 601, right? Since your wife and niece aren't here, it'll just be the two of us. Get the drinks ready! I'm on my way! Haha~" Meng Yuan hung up immediately. This guy's still so carefree after all these years; Liu Guopei couldn't understand how someone like him could have been chosen by CCTV . He smiled helplessly. Since Meng Yuan was coming and it was still early, Liu Guopei called a high-end Chinese restaurant near the entrance of his apartment complex to order some dishes. His wife wasn't home, and he couldn't cook, so this was the only option. The restaurant had plenty of food, though he didn't drink much. It has to be said, high-end restaurants are efficient; the dishes arrived quickly, and the food and drinks were ready. He was going to have a good drink with Meng Yuan. Twenty minutes later, Meng Yuan arrived, soaked to the bone. He wasn't carrying an umbrella but was carrying several bags of toys, saying they were for Jiajia. It seemed he had bought them beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived so quickly . And to get soaked while carrying these toys, Liu Guopei was genuinely touched; he hadn't made a mistake in choosing this friend.

Chapter 19: Do you believe he's trying to harm me?

"Come on, drink this first. You got soaked in the rain, you must be feeling pretty cold! You're really stupid, why didn't you bring these toys
next time ? Didn't you use an umbrella in the rain?" Liu Guopei poured Meng Yuan a glass of freshly opened baijiu,
Moutai, 15 years old.

"I'm fine, this is nothing. Damn, this liquor is so refreshing! It's really strong, Moutai? I have to say, Guopei, you
've really made a fortune these past few years! This liquor must cost several thousand yuan, right?" Meng Yuan drank a glass and said cheerfully,
immediately pouring another glass.

"Seven thousand, I guess. It's quite strong. I don't actually drink much, it's mostly my dad who drinks with me here.
You guys are here filming a documentary, why are you taking a vacation? If you really have nothing to do, I think you could film 'Meiqila,' it
would definitely make headlines, haha!" Liu Guopei also drank a glass and then joked.

"What? Are we not human? Do you think people can film typhoons? Besides, I was so busy with your
ribbon-cutting ! I guess I'm the only one in the world as loyal as me!" Meng Yuan
shook his head deliberately while drinking, teasing Liu Guopei, but his hands didn't stop, and he passed out after finishing his drink.

Although what he said was a bit exaggerated, Meng Yuan was indeed very loyal, straightforward, and
guileless .

"By the way, Guopei, what happened on the phone earlier when you said that things weren't going well in Xicheng? Wasn't the ribbon-cutting already done
? Has construction started?" Meng Yuan remembered what Liu Guopei had said on the phone earlier, so he
suddenly asked before Liu Guopei could answer.

"It's nothing serious. I've temporarily slowed down the construction progress, but it won't have a big impact. Even if construction had started smoothly, with
the typhoon making landfall in the South China Sea, it would still have been delayed anyway!" Liu Guopei had been struggling with whether or not
to tell Meng Yuan about what he had discovered about Director Wu. If he did, he felt like
a , but if he didn't, it would seem like he didn't consider Meng Yuan a brother, since Meng Yuan had been involved in the Xicheng matter all along
and had been helping him the whole time.

"Come and eat. The food at this restaurant is pretty good. Don't keep drinking, or you'll pass out
. Who am I going to drink with then?" Liu Guopei said after taking a bite of the braised carp.

"That's true. With the typhoon, no one can work. It's alright, we can prepare again.
But Guopei, not to criticize you, but even if Sister-in-law Zixin is away on a business trip, you should still take Jiajia with you. I
haven't seen my niece for almost two years. Is the little one in school yet?" Meng Yuan raised his glass and toasted Liu Guopei again.
This was his fourth glass, and his face was starting to flush.

"She's not in school yet, too young. I'd like to take her with me, but I need time. Even if I did,
Zixin is away on a business trip, and I can't cook. How can I take care of her? Am I supposed to make Jiajia eat noodles with me every day?" Meng Yuan's
words made Liu Guopei feel wronged. He wished he could be with Jiajia every day.

The two drank inside. The rain outside had lessened considerably, but it was still drizzling.

The distant, hazy rain curtain seemed to be draped down from the horizon, obscuring people's view.

Back inside, the bottle of fifteen-year-old Moutai on the table was already empty. Liu Guopei had drunk quite a bit
today ; he probably could only drink so heartily with his good brother!

"Meng Yuan, last time I took you back to the hotel, I heard you call someone 'Director Wu' when I left. Is he
the team leader for this trip?" Liu Guopei decided to get to the bottom of this, so he asked tentatively.

"Last time? Oh, I remember! It was when I was drunk, right? Hmm, he's the deputy director leading our team this time,
a very upright person." Meng Yuan thought for a moment and said.

Ha! Upright? That's because Meng Yuan didn't see him with Zhang Yiyi, but of course, he
wouldn't say it directly, as that would seem like he was wronging him!

"Is he married?" Liu Guopei raised his glass again and toasted with Meng Yuan, then asked casually,
although he basically knew the answer, he still wanted to be sure.

"Haha, what a ridiculous question! Are you drunk? Master Wu's daughter is already in middle school, do you think she's not married
? Haha!" Meng Yuan couldn't help but laugh at Liu Guopei's 'idiotic' question.

Having received confirmation from Meng Yuan, Liu Guopei was ready to speak directly to him. After all, the Green Wolf Gang was
clearly targeting him, along with some city officials. His focus would definitely be on this matter later,
and resolving a potential problem now would buy him more time later!

"Very well, then I'll say he's actually a real villain, and he wants to harm me. Do you believe me or him?"
Liu Guopei pressed down Meng Yuan's hand as he raised his glass, then looked at him with a resolute gaze.

Chapter Twenty: The World Is About to Change

"Guopei, what did you say? You're not kidding, are you? How is this possible? You don't even know Director Wu,
how possibly harm you?" Meng Yuan was quite shocked by Liu Guopei's words, his speech becoming incoherent. The effects of the alcohol had sobered up
considerably. Instinctively, he thought Liu Guopei was joking, but his serious expression suggested otherwise. However, he was certain
that he and Director Wu had never met before.

To be honest, Liu Guopei had already anticipated Meng Yuan's reaction. If he were Meng Yuan,
he probably would have reacted similarly.

To prove his point, Liu Guopei
recounted what he had seen and heard at the Tianfu Hotel that day, along with his speculations and analysis. After finishing, Liu Guopei picked up his wine glass,
walked to the window, and quietly watched the light drizzle outside. He stopped speaking, because at this moment, Meng Yuan needed
to think for himself; he had said what he needed to say.

Five minutes ago, the two men, who had been drinking and chatting animatedly, fell silent, lost in their own thoughts
. The room felt heavy, with only the persistent patter of raindrops against the window.

"Hey, actually, I also found it strange that Director Wu suddenly asked us to do a surprise report in Xicheng that morning, but I
didn't think about it that way. Now that you mention it, thinking back on that sudden decision, it really was unusual!
We didn't have any interview plans that day!" Meng Yuan broke the silence first. Although he hadn't fully accepted it,
it seemed he had come to some understanding. The reason he could think this way was entirely because he trusted Liu Guopei. If
someone else had said they saw Director Wu having an affair with a girl in a hotel, Meng Yuan would never have believed it! But Liu Guopei was
different. He was not only his brother, but also possessed a convincing aura that commanded respect. Perhaps this was
why he had become a multi-millionaire in just a few years.

"But I still don't understand something. Guopei, why did you think Director Wu would do this? You don't even
know him!" Meng Yuan suddenly stood up and walked to the window, saying to Liu Guopei.

"I don't know either. I've never met this Director Wu before. I believe you wouldn't misjudge
him. Perhaps he was originally a fairly upright person, but he changed after coming to Zhonghai. After all,
Zhonghai isn't the same Zhonghai it used to be!" Liu Guopei didn't turn around, still quietly looking out the window.

"Zhonghai isn't the same Zhonghai it used to be? What do you mean?" Meng Yuan was a little confused by Liu Guopei's words.

"From the day the West City redevelopment was officially put on the agenda, Zhonghai was no longer the same Zhonghai it used to be. Even
China isn't the same China it used to be. This is a struggle between the old and new factions within the government, and we were just
drawn into it without any choice. I don't know how many people will be ruined because of this game. The world is about to change." Liu Guopei
turned back to Meng Yuan, who was full of doubts.

"Meng Yuan, perhaps coming to Zhonghai this time wasn't the right decision," Liu Guopei sighed
inwardly , then continued, "Indeed, he's too straightforward, making him vulnerable
to being taken advantage of in this competition. Maybe I shouldn't have talked to him about so many things hidden behind the scenes of the Xicheng redevelopment; I should have just let him be
an ordinary reporter. Now he's dragged into it too.

" "I'm not afraid at all! Although I'm not as smart as you, and I don't see through many things, I'm just a
reporter. What can anyone do to me? It's you who's in charge of this huge Xicheng redevelopment project. From what you're saying
, it sounds so risky. You should be careful! If it really comes down to it, just give up. You can earn money elsewhere; protecting yourself
is the most important thing! If there's anything I can do right now, Guopei, just let me know! Between brothers,
just tell me what you need me to do. Even if I can't be of much help, I can still put in the effort!" Meng Yuan patted
his chest , his eyes resolute.

Hearing Meng Yuan's forthright words, Liu Guopei was deeply moved. This was the kind
of brotherhood that transcended years of hardship!

"There's no going back! Now that we're involved,
we have to rely on ourselves to survive this competition! That's why I need your help, Meng Yuan!" Since Meng Yuan already knew about
Master Wu's situation, Liu Guopei didn't hesitate and directly stated his thoughts, because
only Meng Yuan could help him with this matter.

Chapter 21: Room 1, Qingdi Club

"Speak, Guopei! I'll do anything I can without hesitation!" Meng Yuan
said without much thought.

"I need you to closely monitor Master Wu's every move. Tell me immediately where he goes, who he meets, and
any ! Find out why he's targeting me!" Liu Guopei said slowly.

"Since Master Wu has already started targeting you, is it still meaningful to find out the reason now? Shouldn't we
focus on preparing for the next attack?" Meng Yuan voiced his doubts.

"That would make us seem very passive! I believe that Director Wu and I don't have any real grudges. It's just
that something happened after he came to Zhonghai that made him turn his attention to me. So he has a weakness! As long as we find
this breakthrough, we can try to pull him back to our side!" Liu Guopei told
Meng Yuan his analysis.

"Okay, I'll keep a close eye on him! I'll go back now, I can't delay.
I'll try to inform you as soon as possible of any moves he makes." Ever since hearing from Liu Guopei that the Xicheng renovation project was fraught with difficulties and pressure,
Meng Yuan wanted to help his good brother. Now that he could use him, he naturally had to do his best.

Hearing Meng Yuan say that he should go back now and keep a close eye on Director Wu, Liu Guopei didn't try to persuade him to stay, because that would seem
hypocritical. Now was the time to help him. He just gave him a brotherly
hug , everything was unspoken

. He looked up at the clock on the wall, it was past two o'clock. Three hours had passed without him realizing it, and the rain outside the window
had completely stopped.

After Meng Yuan left, Liu Guopei returned to his study. He had a nagging suspicion about Master Wu
, though he found it hard to believe: Master Wu's actions against him might be related to his wife's best
friend, Zhang Yiyi! From their conversation at the Tianfu Hotel stairwell, he could tell she
already knew Master Wu was trying to harm him, yet she hadn't mentioned it. This suggested she was also
involved! Otherwise, how could someone as unworthy as Master Wu be with someone like him?

As fate would have it, while Liu Guopei was pondering Zhang Yiyi, she was also
talking Liu Guopei

. At the Qingdi Club on Xianglan Street, in room number one

, a naked man and woman lay on the large bed. Judging from the heavy sweat and panting,
they had just finished a passionate encounter!

The man's face showed wrinkles; he was probably over fifty. His serious expression and imposing
presence exuded a sense of authority, clearly the air of someone who had long held a position of power.

The woman lying quietly in the man's arms was quite young, with fair and tender skin that radiated a healthy glow;
her face was rosy and her almond-shaped eyes had a slightly misty quality, as if they were pools of autumn water; her delicate
eyebrows and small red lips were pursed in a half-smile, giving her a very beautiful appearance. This woman was none other than
Zhang Yiyi, whom Liu Guopei was thinking about!

"Secretary Wang, Liu Guopei has now successfully signed the demolition contract, and the groundbreaking ceremony has been held. Isn't the
West City renovation project about to start? This means that Mayor Kong and his team have already gained the upper hand. Why do you seem so
unhurried?" Zhang Yiyi twisted her body, opened her alluring eyes, her face flushed, and said sweetly to the
man called Secretary Wang.

"Hmph! Why should I be in a hurry? I basically control the entire municipal party committee now.
Who else does Kong Xianming have besides Zheng Yizhou? Letting him take a few steps ahead is no big deal! If I want him to fall, he can fall anytime!"
Secretary Wang sneered, then pinched the woman's round, white breasts with his hand!

"Mmm," Zhang Yiyi's mouth involuntarily opened slightly as the man kneaded her breasts, letting out a soft
moan!

"I hate it, didn't we already do that? Hmm, you're touching me again, hmm," Zhang Yiyi
said coquettishly while moaning softly, but she did not stop Secretary Wang's hands from ravaging her breasts. On the contrary, she looked like she was
enjoying !

"Haha, who told you to be so charming! Baby, are you getting used to it here? You can
ask Xiao Qing to do anything you need. You're my woman, he wouldn't dare disobey you!" Secretary Wang continued to stroke Zhang
Yiyi's tender breasts, and the pressure increased.

"Mmm, Boss Xiao is so good to me, be gentle, don't be so rough, it hurts!" Zhang Yiyi's moans grew louder,
it seemed she was really in pain. However, for some reason, when she heard Secretary Wang mention Xiao Qing earlier, a strange expression appeared on her
face , but she quickly recovered.

"You're moaning so loudly, do you want it again? Yiyi, why don't you come to the municipal party committee and be my secretary, instead of
being a host." Zhang Yiyi's voice aroused Secretary Wang's heart, and he couldn't help but want
to press her down hard again.

"You're squeezing so hard, it hurts, of course the sound is loud! I don't want to be a secretary,
wouldn't your wife kill me then?" Zhang Yiyi blushed at Secretary Wang's words, buried her head in his chest, and
said coquettishly.

"You're blushing, haha, it's not the first time. Okay, it's fine if you don't want to go! Come on, sit up and lick me,
then we'll do it again. I can't take it anymore!" Secretary Wang stopped what he was doing, pulled back the blanket,
pointed to his still somewhat limp penis, and said to Zhang Yiyi.

Hearing his words, Zhang Yiyi obediently knelt down between his legs, tied her hair up, then stuck out her buttocks,
used her hand to stroke his penis a few times, and then stretched out her soft, sexy tongue to lick the dark penis.

Zhang Yiyi skillfully enveloped the gradually awakening penis with her small mouth, vigorously
whipping , while gently biting with her white teeth. The penis caressed the palate and parotid glands of her mouth. One
slender, fair hand grasped the testicles beneath the penis, gently kneading them, while the tip of her middle finger rubbed the scrotum, making continuous
circles. She also let out occasional moans as she stroked her mouth

. Under her licking, Secretary Wang became extremely excited. He pulled Zhang Yiyi's hair with one hand and vigorously rubbed her tender breasts with the other
, panting heavily. He thrust in and out of
the penis

for several minutes. After a few minutes, Secretary Wang could no longer bear it. He poured out two white
pills from a bottle on the bedside table, swallowed them, and then took out a condom and handed it to Zhang Yiyi, who was between his legs.

Zhang Yiyi stretched out her fair hand and gently put the condom
on the penis, which was now even more erect and dark after taking the pills.

Secretary Wang helped Zhang Yiyi up, then made her lie face down on the headboard, her round, tender buttocks raised, her moist pink hole slightly
open. He came up behind her, holding her buttocks, and forcefully thrust in and out, panting heavily.

"Mmm...ahhh!" Accompanied by the 'slap slap—' sound of his penis entering and exiting her pink hole, Zhang Yiyi's moans
grew louder and louder.

"Harder, it's so itchy...mmm...harder!" The room echoed with the two men's heavy breathing, along with lewd moans and
the 'slap slap' sounds of impact.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Because—I'm Angry

"Beep beep—" Liu Guopei, who was sitting in front of the computer in his study thinking, was pulled back to
reality .

He saw that it was a message from Living Dead, "Boss, are you there?" It was a very simple sentence,
Living Dead's typing was always so concise.

"Yes, have you prepared the materials?" Liu Guopei typed directly.

"It's basically ready, I'll send it to you in a bit!" The reply was quick this time, it seemed the Living Dead
had everything prepared.

Seeing this message, Liu Guopei was quite pleased. At least with this, his
understanding would be further enhanced, giving him more confidence in future confrontations!

"Okay, no rush! Tell me what you know about the Green Emperor Club and the Green Wolf Gang first."
From their previous chats, Liu Guopei knew that the Living Dead was very knowledgeable about the Green Wolf Gang, and
the numerous indicated he had frequented the Green Emperor Club multiple times!

"Oh, right, also tell me about that 'Wolf's Temptation' website link you sent me."
Just as he sent the previous message, Liu Guopei suddenly remembered the mysterious adult website.

After waiting two minutes without a reply from the Living Dead, Liu Guopei was wondering what was going on and was about to ask again
when his message arrived.

"From what I understand, the Green Emperor Club was established by the Green Wolf Gang about six years ago. Initially,
it wasn't called the Green Emperor Club, but simply the Green Wolf Bar, which was basically a gathering place for a bunch of thugs. Starting in
the latter half of 2003, the Green Wolf Bar was renamed the Green Emperor Club, and then it expanded rapidly, becoming the largest and most upscale nightclub on Xianglan Street and even in Zhonghai City in less than
two years ! Prostitution and drug trafficking were rampant there, and these
were their two biggest sources of income. The drugs on Xianglan Street basically all came from there!
The 'Wolf's Temptation' website was also established because their new leader wasn't satisfied with his real-world business and started
developing online, probably in early 2004!"

Just as he'd guessed! After reading the Living Dead's reply, Liu Guopei couldn't help but think to himself.

Actually, Liu Guopei had initially wondered if the "wolf" in "Wolf's Temptation" referred to the Green Wolf
Gang, and if the so-called "powerful club" referred to the Green Emperor Club! Now, after the Living Dead's confirmation, he finally
understood completely.

"How do you know so much? From our conversation, you don't seem like
someone who's been involved in the Xianglan Street underworld for years." Liu Guopei then asked the question that had been bothering him. Why
did this "living dead" know so much detail that he couldn't find out no matter

how hard he tried? There was another silence on the other end of the computer. Had he touched on some painful memory?
Liu Guopei felt that he might have touched a sore spot again and couldn't help but regret it.
He knew from their last conversation that this "living dead" was a very pitiful person.

"I know because I have a Purple Gold Membership Card for the Qingdi Club. I can enter at any time, and I got
this information from there." A few minutes later, the "living dead" finally replied to his question.

After reading this, Liu Guopei felt for some reason that the "living dead" was hiding something from him
and didn't want to talk about it. Moreover, this information and the photos couldn't possibly be obtained just from a Purple Gold Membership Card!
But since he didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't force him. After all, how he obtained this information was important to him.
It's not important what he says, as long as he gets the information, he doesn't care about the process!

"Since prostitution and drug trafficking are rampant in the Qingdi Club, hasn't anyone reported it to the higher-ups all these years?
Why doesn't Zhonghai City shut it down?" This question had actually bothered Liu Guopei for a long time. Since Xianglan Street is so chaotic,
surely someone would have reported it to the higher-ups, so why is it still able to exist?

Liu Guopei had always believed that in today's society governed by law, the chaos of the 1990s should
never happen again. That's why he initially thought it
was a joke when the Living Dead first exposed Xianglan Street in the group! But as he learned more about it, he realized that not only was it not a joke,
but he himself was ridiculously ignorant!

"Hehe, boss, you're thinking too simply. If someone at the higher-ups could manage it, would I have ended up like this?
Although I don't understand the management structure of the Qingdi Club, one thing is certain: the Qingdi Club
couldn't been run by the Qinglang Gang alone!" the Living Dead replied.

"What do you mean? Explain it clearly? Is someone in the government backing you up?" Liu Guopei was very sensitive to this question and
immediately replied, because this information was very important to him. Mayor Zheng had said that a large force in the city
opposed the West City redevelopment and would definitely target him. And in the blink of an eye, the Green Wolf Gang was coming towards him aggressively
. Liu Guopei would never believe that there was no connection between the two! Therefore, if he could
get evidence from the Living Dead that the government was colluding with the Green Wolf Gang, it would be a great
help !

"There must be a big shot backing the Green Wolf Gang, but I don't know who it is, and I have no evidence.
But I've encountered several police raids at the Green Emperor Club, and the manager knew in advance and managed to evade them.
Once, I even heard a policeman in charge complaining, 'Damn it, even top-secret operations can be known in advance!'
So there must be some big shot protecting the Green Emperor Club, otherwise how could a top-secret government operation be leaked?"

Top-secret operations can be known in advance? Upon seeing these words, Liu Guopei still felt he had underestimated the Green Wolf
Gang. Such a large-scale operation against organized crime typically wouldn't be known to more than five people even within the government.
This meant that the underworld protector hidden within the government was definitely a top figure in the municipal party committee!
Perhaps even above Vice Mayor Zheng!

"Boss, why are you so interested in the Green Emperor Club? You don't seem
very interested ," the Living Dead sent another message after a long pause, seemingly hesitant before
asking.

"It's not that I'm interested in them, it's that they've driven me to the brink! But even if they stop now,
I won't let them go! Because I'm furious!!" Faced with the Living Dead's question, Liu Guopei
replied decisively without hesitation. Yes! There was no room for maneuver between him and the Green Wolf Gang!
In this competition for the West City redevelopment, only one of them could survive—himself, the Green Wolf Gang, or the old and new factions within the government—
and have the last laugh!

Chapter Twenty-Three: I've Met This Woman.

"Boss, although I don't know what grudge you have with the Green Emperor Club, it's our common
enemy , and you've even paid for my son's medical treatment! I know I'm no match for the Green Wolf Gang, but I believe in
you, Boss! Someone who has the guts to give 300,000 to a complete stranger is definitely not an ordinary
person! Just tell me what you need me to do in the future. Even if it means death, I won't hesitate. My life, Liang Yu's
life, is yours, Boss!" After another two minutes of silence, the "living dead" on the other end of the computer replied to Liu Guopei
.

It turned out the "living dead" was named Liang Yu. The fact that he told Liu Guopei his name meant that
only now was he truly willing to work for Liu Guopei from the bottom of his heart! Although Liu Guopei gave Liang Yu 300,000 to
get the information he possessed, Liu Guopei
gave which was practically giving it away for free. Otherwise, Liang Yu wouldn't have thanked him so much.

"I'm truly touched that you think this way! But don't worry, I don't think I'll let you die in my place.
In fact, I'll do my best to help you. I'll make sure you see your son walk out of the hospital healthy and strong!"
Liu Guopei decided to help Liang Yu. Perhaps before, their relationship was just a transaction of money and information,
but now it's different. This is a good person, someone who deeply loves his son and is grateful for kindness
. Such a person is completely worthy of his help!

"Thank you!" After receiving Liu Guopei's words, the Living Dead simply replied with two words, but
Liu Guopei could feel the weight contained in those two words! It was a promise that someone would give
their life !

"Liang Yu, I need you to gather as much criminal information as possible about the Qingdi Club, the more the better.
Ideally, should get evidence of collusion between government officials and them. Even if you can't get evidence, you need to find out
who their backers are in the government. Don't think you can't bring them down; as long as you gather evidence, that's enough! I'll handle
the rest I'll personally deliver all this to Mayor Zheng of the Municipal Party Committee!" Actually
, Liu Guopei didn't know when Mayor Zheng would return. He said this to let Liang Yu know that he wasn't alone! He and
many righteous people in the Municipal Party Committee were on his side, so that he would take a gamble with him!

"Don't worry, boss, I understand. The old 'living dead' is gone. Now there's only Liang Yu,
Liang Yu seeking revenge! I will spare no effort to help you break this dark curtain that has shrouded Zhonghai for so many years!!"
The 'living dead' —no!—should be Liang Yu replied.

"Boss, I'm going to the Qingdi Club tonight. It's a busy weekend night, which will make it easier to gather
evidence !" Liang Yu sent a message.

"Is a membership card absolutely necessary to enter the Qingdi Club? I'd like to go and see it too." Liu Guopei had always wanted to visit
the Qingdi Club in person to see what was so attractive about this so-called most upscale club in Zhonghai that would
drive people crazy enough to spend 500,000 just for a chance to enter!

"As far as I know, unless you're a big shot, you need a membership card to enter the Qingdi Club
! But as a Purple Gold member, everyone has the opportunity to introduce someone else to join.
If I introduce you, you only need to pay 200,000 for the first year of your Purple Gold card, but the annual renewal fee is still 500,000 every year thereafter,"
the Living Dead replied.

"Okay, 200,000 is no problem. Anyway, I'll definitely be going to the Qingdi Club many times in the future. I'll
go there with you tonight, so we can look out for each other!" Since he could save 300,000,
Liu Guopei decided to get a card and check out the Qingdi Club.

"That's good, boss. Here's my phone number. What time should we meet tonight?" Liang Yu sent
over his phone number.

"No need to be too early, how about 8 o'clock? I'll be waiting for you at the Qiaojiaren Bar on Xianglan Street! Just
call me when you get there. This is my phone number. Also, you don't need to call me 'boss' anymore. My name is Liu Guopei, you can call me whatever you
want." To be honest, Liu Guopei really didn't like Liang Yu's constant "boss, boss."

"Okay, I'll contact you again at the Qiaojiaren Bar tonight, Mr. Liu! I'll get ready now."

Liu Guopei was helpless. He had just said not to call him "boss," and now he was being called "Mr. Liu." "Fine, let him be."
Just as Liu Guopei was about to type "see you tonight," he suddenly remembered something important he'd forgotten to ask.

"Wait a minute, did you see those two women at the Qingdi Club? And have you ever heard of Xiao Qing
?" Liu Guopei sent a photo of his wife, Zixin, and Zhang Yiyi together from his computer
. The old man who worked at his wife's company had said that his wife had been picked up, most likely by Xiao Qing and taken to the Qingdi Club.
As for whether Zhang Yiyi had ever been to the Qingdi Club, Liu Guopei wasn't sure, but based on
her , he vaguely felt that she was also part of the veiled conspiracy surrounding him.

To be honest, Liu Guopei was extremely anxious while waiting for Liang Yu's reply, fearing he would learn the possibility
he dreaded most. Although he knew in his heart that his wife was likely cheating,
he had no concrete evidence, so deep down he still held onto a sliver of almost nonexistent hope!

This was also why he had been unwilling to confront his wife, because once he did,
this last glimmer of hope might be extinguished! His daughter, Jiajia, was still young, and he didn't want the family to fall apart like this
. But if Liang Yu's answer was the most terrifying possibility, what should he do?
Confront ? And then get a divorce?

Liu Guopei didn't know, and dared not think about it. He only hoped to get a negative
answer from Liang Yu, so that he could feel a little better!

Staring intently at the computer screen, afraid of missing his reply, his heart pounded wildly.

"Yes, I've seen this woman." Finally, Liang Yu replied.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Qingdi Club

I've seen this woman! These seven short words were like seven sharp knives piercing Liu Guopei's heart,
mercilessly !

Liu Guopei felt waves of pain in his heart. Although he roughly knew
the answer , the moment he actually received the reply, it still felt like being struck heavily by a hammer,
so heavy that it was hard to accept. Was the last glimmer of hope deep in his heart about to disappear?

"Mr. Liu? Are you there? I haven't heard of the name Xiao Qing you mentioned, but
I've seen the girl in the photo with slightly shorter hair, and more than once." Seeing that Liu Guopei hadn't replied, Liang Yu typed again,
explaining what he knew.

Slightly shorter hair? The one? Liu Guopei suddenly realized that there were two
people in the photo he had just sent Liang Yu—not just his wife, but also Zhang Yiyi! Suddenly, Liu Guopei felt
a glimmer of hope, like grasping at a straw, and his heart raced even faster!

He quickly pulled up the photo he had just sent and compared it. Sure enough, his wife's hair in the photo was noticeably
longer than Zhang Yiyi's! So, Liang Yu saw Zhang Yiyi at the Qingdi Club, not his wife, Zixin?

"Take another look. Are you sure it's the one with shorter hair? Have you seen the one with long hair?" Liu Guopei
controlled his tense and anxious emotions, typing for Liang Yu to confirm again, and then quietly waited for his
reply.

"I can't be mistaken, Mr. Liu, you can trust me. I've really seen this girl with slightly shorter hair a few times. I don't recognize
the other one!" Liang Yu replied quickly, thinking Liu Guopei didn't believe him.

Liu Guopei only paid attention to the last part of Liang Yu's sentence, "I don't recognize the other one."
Everything else was unimportant; this was what he wanted to see. His anxiety subsided

. "Okay, it's alright. Go prepare. See you at the Pretty Girl Bar tonight!" Liu Guopei had already gotten
his answer and didn't want to waste any more time, letting Liang Yu go about his business.

Not long after closing the chat window, Liu Guopei received a file from Liang Yu:
"Qingdi Club." Judging from the name, it seemed to be some remaining information about the Qingdi Club.

Opening it, he found two sub-files: one labeled with photos, and the other surprisingly
a map ! The photos were likely the missing ones from the parts Liang Yu had uploaded to the group last time
. Liu Guopei had already seen the general content, so he was more interested in the map file! If I'm not mistaken
, this should be the map of the Qingdi Club!

Opening the map file, it indeed contained an architectural diagram. The drawing was very simple, just a rough sketch,
probably drawn by Liang Yu himself. From the map, it can be seen that the Qingdi Club only has two floors. The first floor is
mainly divided into a lobby and private rooms. The private rooms are distributed along both sides of a long corridor. In this way
, the first floor of the Qingdi Club doesn't seem much different from the Qiaojiaren Bar; it's just a typical
nightclub . The second floor is drawn even more simply, with only a row of rooms labeled with numbers from 1 to 30.
The first five rooms are crossed out, and the ninth room has a white label—its meaning is unclear.
I'll ask him later. However, judging from the map, Liang Yu doesn't seem to know much about the second floor either.

At 7:30 PM, on Xianglan Street,

Liu Guopei, visiting the Pretty Girl Bar for the fourth time, felt quite familiar with the place. Perhaps knowing he
wasn't one of the majority of the people there, he instinctively sat down at an empty spot at the bar,
ordered a Louis XIII, and watched the group of young men and women dancing wildly in the distance. Pretty Girl was still as
lively as ever

, but what surprised Liu Guopei was that he didn't see Zhao Qin today. To be honest, he had a really good impression of this smart and optimistic
girl, and he had come here early to wait for Liang Yu, hoping to chat with Zhao Qin casually. Ideally, he could...
It was enough to convince her to work at his company, because there weren't many girls who could remain chaste in such a brothel
. Right now, she had that so-called "Sister Hong" protecting her, but that wasn't a long-term solution.
No one could predict the future; maybe one day Sister Hong would abandon her, and then who would help her?
She was destined to be assimilated into the filth of Xianglan Street. Of course, all of this was up to Zhao Qin herself. Perhaps she was overthinking things.
At

7:55, Liu Guopei saw a
man in his thirties, about 175cm tall, wearing glasses, carrying a cell phone in one hand and
a walk into the bar. Although he hadn't seen Liang Yu before, Liu Guopei was certain this man was him. The right
time, the right place, in his thirties, looking haggard, carrying a cell phone—who else could it be but Liang Yu?!

"Brother Liang, hello, I'm Liu Guopei," Liu Guopei
said . Such a good man deserved to be called "Brother."

"You...you're General Manager Liu?" Liang Yu's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the smiling man before him.
He could hardly believe that the man who had spoken so charismatically online, and whom he had even admired, was
actually so young!

"Brother Liang, if you think highly of me, please don't call me General Manager Liu anymore. You're a good father, and I
admire you very much," Liu Guopei said sincerely.

"Alright, then I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Liu," Liang Yu
said decisively, seeing Liu Guopei's response, as it would seem pretentious.

It was almost eight o'clock, so the two decided not to waste any more time and headed straight for the Qingdi
Club on the south side of Xianglan Street. On the way, Liang Yu gave Liu Guopei a miniature GPS device. With this, they could track each other's location
via their phones. The watch on his wrist was actually a miniature camera.
Liang Yu's preparations were undeniably thorough; no wonder he had managed to take so many photos at the Qingdi Club without being discovered!

After walking for a short while, the two saw a magnificent two-story building directly ahead, its interior adorned with crystal walls.
Four large, gleaming golden characters stood out prominently in the center: "Qingdi Club"!

The Qingdi Club only had two floors, but each floor was a full 5 meters high! Four white marble pillars
stood like four imposing giants at the entrance, and in front of them were two enormous
wolf heads ! Under the lights, the blue marble wolf heads gleamed, giving off a chilling yet eerie feeling!

There was a fairly large parking plaza in front of the entrance. Liu Guopei and Liang Yu glanced at it as they walked past; the cars parked
there were mostly luxury sports cars. Even Liu Guopei's Porsche Cayenne would probably
look quite ordinary here! And new luxury cars were constantly arriving, indicating that the Qingdi Club was very popular!

Upon reaching the entrance, four burly men in black suits stood there, intently watching everyone
entering and leaving the club. Undoubtedly, anyone who dared to cause trouble here would be instantly beaten to the ground by these men.

A smiling middle-aged man stood before four security guards, holding a machine.
Liu Guopei noticed that everyone entering and exiting had to swipe a card on the machine. Liang Yu also took out a purple
membership card and had Liu Guopei follow him. The two then walked towards the entrance with the flow of people.

"This is my friend, a newcomer, going to get a purple card!" Liang Yu skillfully handed the purple membership card to
the man holding the machine and said.

"Okay, okay! No problem at all. Welcome to our Qingdi Club, but first..."
The man said with a smile, then pretended to be hesitant, looking at Liu Guopei and rubbing
his thumb and forefinger together before falling silent.

"Swipe the card!" Liu Guopei directly handed over his bank card. If he didn't have this much awareness, he
should n't be in the business world.

Money talks; Liu Guopei easily obtained the so-called purple membership card, and without further hindrance, the two
went inside.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Zhao Qin, who was drugged,

truly lived up to the reputation of Zhonghai City's most upscale nightclub! Upon entering the lobby of the Qingdi Club, Liu Guopei
couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The lobby appeared to be twice the size of the Qiaojiaren Bar. The white marble floor shimmered under
the crystal chandeliers, exuding an air of opulence! Stylish genuine leather sofas were scattered
throughout the lobby, modern yet elegant.

It was only eight o'clock, but the lobby was already crowded. Groups of two or three were gathered, some flirting and raising drinks
; others were lounging on the sofas, intimately embracing young women. Liu Guopei even noticed that some of the girls
' stockings had been pulled up to their knees, radiating a seductive aura. The entire lobby was filled with an irresistible,
sensual atmosphere.

A band on one side was playing a fast-paced slow rock tune, and many scantily clad men and women were wildly swaying their bodies
to the music. Brightly colored lights swept across the group
of men and women, who were completely absorbed in their frenzy. Women in revealing miniskirts, stockings, and crop tops constantly tempted the men's visual senses.

After finding an empty sofa to sit on, Liu Guopei told Liang Yu to do as he pleased and not to worry about
him. Since this was Liu Guopei's first time there, he knew nothing about the place, and having the two of them together would actually hinder
Liang Yu's actions.

After Liang Yu left, Liu Guopei ordered a drink and slowly sipped it, his eyes casually scanning his surroundings, as if
trying to spot something.

A few minutes later, Liu Guopei noticed several young men walking towards him. As they approached, he could clearly see wolf tattoos on their
exposed arms—the Green Wolf Gang's henchmen! Liu Guopei was
startled. Had they recognized him? Impossible! Apart from Zhao Kun and Hu Zi, no one in the Green Wolf Gang had ever
seen him before!

His heart pounded with anxiety, but he maintained a calm facade, leisurely
sipping his drink. However, the young men didn't linger with Liu Guopei; instead, they went straight to an
empty sofa on the left and sat down. So they weren't after him! Liu Guopei breathed a sigh of relief.

The young men sat on the sofa next to him, loudly drinking and shouting. Liu Guopei wouldn't have paid
them , but their conversation caught his eye. The henchmen were bragging loudly about
their experiences with women, claiming they'd slept with several in the club's restrooms, some of them virgins.
"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Liu Guopei instinctively thought of the
pretty girl being raped in the toilet in the candid photos Liang Yu uploaded to the QQ group! And the man in the photo also had a wolf tattoo on his back! That pretty
girl must be one of the victims!

These people are truly insane; not only did they rape someone, but they also dared
to announce it ! Liu Guopei focused his attention, trying to hear if he could glean any useful information.

Just then, a rather gruff voice came from the other side, "You guys are nothing! Who can
compare ? You guys just used brute force to gang rape some girls. If Brother Kun takes a fancy to something,
he can easily get it that same day! Last time, I saw two girls get what they wanted from Brother Kun in less than half an hour with just two
pills, and they had a threesome upstairs all night! Damn, those two girls looked like the innocent type who hadn't been to
bars , maybe even virgins!"

Brother Kun? Zhao Kun? Upon hearing the voice say "Brother Kun," Liu Guopei immediately thought of
Zhao Kun, who had treated him to dinner at the Hongxin Hotel!

"If you ask me, the most powerful one is still our Wolf Head! No matter how beautiful a woman is, without force or drugs,
just one night with Wolf Head and she's completely submissive. So many women who look like fairies
are nothing but sluts to Wolf Head! He can do whatever he wants with them!" Another voice followed.

"Hey, brother, how do you get those beautiful and classy women?"

"To deal with those women, you definitely can't force them at first, otherwise you can only sleep with them once at most. You need to
know what she likes and dislikes. First, you have to get close to her, make her feel safe, and attract her. But when
the time you have to be ruthless, half soft and half hard, say something about love or something, and she'll be confused. At this
point, you must strike while the iron is hot, get her drunk and go for it. These days, after a woman is slept with, just a few
sweet words and she'll easily get another one!" A henchman was talking glibly, as if he had such
experience.

"Who's that guy who always comes to room number one upstairs? He always comes to room number one, even
Wolf Head is only number two! And Wolf Head even let him sleep with his girlfriend!" a slightly shrill voice
said.

"Damn, keep your voice down, do you want to die? If Brother Kun hears this, you'll lose your tongue!"
someone said in a low voice, but it was still barely audible.

"I heard that the secretary, or rather, Wolf Head slept with him." They lowered their voices even
further, and Liu Guopei could only catch a few words, even with all his might. Secretary? What secretary? And who did he sleep with?
What did these words mean?

However, Liu Guopei still managed to glean some information from them: there was someone in the Qingdi Club whose
status was probably even higher than Wolf Head's, and who was very likely some kind of secretary? This room number one should be
the room marked with the number 1 on the second floor of Liang Yu's map.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Guopei decided to check out the second floor of the Qingdi Club. He
headed towards the white marble staircase leading to the second floor next to the bar. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he saw Liang Yu rushing down from upstairs.

"Brother Liu? Come with me, I've got something!" Liang Yu was taken aback when he saw Liu Guopei coming upstairs,
then pulled him towards the lobby and found a sofa to sit down.

"I was installing miniature cameras in the rooms on the second floor. I just finished installing the one around the corner and came out
when I saw a man helping a young girl go in. Luckily, I just came out, or I would have been discovered.
Judging from the girl's unconscious state, she was probably drugged and they were about to rape her! They're about to start. My phone
is connected to the camera; see if you can use it as evidence?" Liang Yu took a sip of the water on the table, took a
breath, and said with a hint of excitement.

"Brother Liang, how did you get into the room? Don't they lock the doors?" Liu Guopei subconsciously asked
the question he had been wanting to ask. He hadn't understood how the camera had been
installed !

"Hehe, I have this! An engineer sold it to me online. It cost me a lot of money, but it works really well!"
Liang Yu looked around, then took a plastic box from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Guopei.

An automatic lock pick! Looking at the words on it, Liu Guopei finally understood how Liang Yu had entered the room
and installed the camera.

Liang Yu connected his phone to the camera and handed it to Liu Guopei to take a look.

The camera showed a girl lying motionless on the bed, her face obscured. She was wearing
a white t-shirt and black tights. A short man was vigorously stroking
the girl's buttocks. After a minute, seemingly unsatisfied, he moved between the girl's legs, lifted her long
legs onto his shoulders, and then, through the black tights, began licking her crotch from behind
. The drugged girl seemed to sense something; in her dazed state, she struggled slightly,
and the legs on the short man's head weakly kicked his shoulders. The man licked between the girl's legs while his hands brazenly grabbed her
round, plump buttocks!

A few minutes later, he slowly pulled the girl down onto her stomach, revealing a pair of sexy purple
panties underneath. Seemingly impatient, he buried his head between her buttocks again, licking and reaching into
the purple panties. The constant undulating motion of his hand indicated he was rubbing her vulva!

The girl remained motionless; it seemed Liang Yu had indeed drugged her. Feeling he'd had enough, the man pulled down
his pants, revealing an ugly, hard penis. He turned the girl over and then climbed on top of her, kissing her repeatedly.

When Liu Guopei saw the girl's unconscious face on the phone screen after she was turned over, his mind
went blank with shock!

Zhao Qin! The girl being drugged and raped was Zhao Qin! Liu Guopei jumped
to his , a surge of anger rising in his chest!

Chapter Twenty-Six:

No wonder I didn't see Zhao Qin at the Pretty Girl Bar earlier; she was brought here!

Although it was strange that Zhao Qin was here, there was no time to think about it now. I had to hurry
and save her. I've always had a good impression of this optimistic and intelligent girl, especially her
self-discipline , which I've always admired! Now that she's about to be violated, I definitely can't ignore it!
Judging from the man's anxious look in the video, it would be too late if we waited any longer.

Liu Guopei suppressed his anger for the moment, and without even having time to explain to Liang Yu, he turned and ran towards
the second floor .

"Hey, Brother Liu?!" Liang Yu was startled by Liu Guopei's sudden change of heart. He was about to call out to him when he saw that
Liu Guopei had already gone upstairs. Why was he reacting so strongly? Was this girl someone to him?

Liang Yu also quickly got up and went upstairs. This was the Qingdi Club; he couldn't act impulsively, or the two of them might
not even be able to get out!

Soon, Liu Guopei arrived at the corner room Liang Yu had mentioned. He pushed the door and found it locked
. Just as he was about to kick the door down, Liang Yu rushed up. "Brother Liu, don't kick the door, I'll do it!" Liang Yu
was quite startled to see Liu Guopei about to kick the door and quickly whispered. Looking around, he was relieved that it was still early, and
most people were downstairs; there weren't many people on the second floor.

"Hurry, Brother Liang, it's too late!"

Liang Yu knew the girl who had been raped must know Liu Guopei, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry. He immediately
took out a lock pick and opened the door.

*Squeak—* The moment the door opened, Liu Guopei rushed in. Liang Yu immediately followed, then
locked the door from the inside to prevent any accidents.

Entering the room, he saw Zhao Qin's purple lace panties had been thrown onto the bed, her
few pubic hairs between her legs were disheveled, and her labia were red from the man's vigorous rubbing;
her bra was also pulled up, revealing her pink breasts slightly erect. Her face showed a pained yet dazed expression!

"Who...who are you?" The short, young man, holding an unopened condom,
looked at Liu Guopei and Liang Yu in panic.

Thankfully, this guy hadn't succeeded yet!

"You don't need to know who I am, you should be glad you haven't succeeded yet!" Liu Guopei turned his head, looked at him,
and then suddenly swung his fist forcefully at the young man!

The short man hadn't expected Liu Guopei to attack him so directly. Before he could react, he was punched
to the ground.

"Ouch!" He spat out blood as he lay on the ground, then

looked up angrily at Liu Guopei, "I'll fuck your mother! You know who I am!"

"Bang—"

Liu Guopei hated it most when people insulted his mother, especially by the man who had tried to rape Zhao Qin. Before he could finish
, he stomped on the man's face!

"Who are you fucking?" He released his foot.

"I'm fucking you!"

"Bang—" Before he could finish the word "mother," he was kicked again.

"Who are you fucking?" He released his foot again.

"Brother Liu, let it go. This is the Qingdi Club. Judging from the wolf tattoo on this kid's chest, he's definitely from the Qinglang Gang
. Let's not make a scene." Liang Yu was afraid the guy on the ground would be stubborn and cause trouble, so he whispered in Liu Guopei's ear.

"I...I...I was wrong!" The guy was stunned, not expecting Liu Guopei to be so fierce and serious. He could only
apologize first

. "Stand up, I have a few questions for you." Knowing that Liang Yu's words were not without reason, Liu Guopei could only
let .

The short guy wobbled to his feet, covering his face with his hands, looking like a shy little wife, which
was quite comical. His penis was no longer as erect as it had been in the footage, drooping and
limp .

"Look up at me, do you know this girl on the bed?" Liu Guopei helped Zhao Qin put on her clothes first, then
turned around and asked.

"Yes, I know her. She's a hostess at the nearby Qiaojiaren Bar named Zhao Qin. Friend, I...I really didn't know she
had anything to do with you." The short man's mouth was slurred from being hit.

"How did you end up at Qiaojiaren Bar? Did you kidnap her?" Liu Guopei ignored the man's question and
continued to ask.

"Honestly, she wanted to come with me! If you don't believe me, ask her yourself when she wakes up, brother," the
short man said, feigning a wronged expression.

"Friend! Brother! She really did come with me. Around 6 pm tonight, I
went to the 'Pretty Lady' restaurant with some buddies, and when she saw me, she offered to drink with me. Then she kept asking me about
our Green Wolf Gang and the Green Emperor Club. I told her that if she really wanted to know, she should come with me to see for herself, and she
agreed without hesitation! She really wanted to come!" Afraid Liu Guopei wouldn't believe him, the guy quickly explained.

Zhao Qin asked to come to the Green Emperor Club herself? She'd been around Xianglan Street for so many years; she must know
how dangerous it is to come here alone. Why would she make such a request? And why keep asking about the Green Wolf Gang?

Could it be because of him?

Liu Guopei suddenly thought of this possibility!

He remembered the first time he chatted with Zhao Qin, she didn't know much about the Green Wolf Gang and didn't seem interested in learning about it
! He even tried to convince himself not to find out. In their subsequent encounters, he mentioned several times that he wanted to
visit . Could it be that Zhao Qin was trying to help him, which was why she risked her life to come to the Qingdi Club alone with this thug?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed! Looking back at Zhao Qin lying quietly on the bed, after helping her put
on her clothes, the pain on her face was gone; she was now peacefully asleep.
Liu Guopei felt a pang of guilt

and unease. He recalled their conversation and drinks in the private room, her genuine and unpretentious smile so
endearing.

He never imagined that after only a few drinks with her, this optimistic girl would help him so much
, even almost getting raped because of him.

He was so glad he had decided to come to the Qingdi Club with Liang Yu today; otherwise, if Zhao Qin had really been violated by this thug because of
helping him, he would undoubtedly regret it for the rest of his life!

However, Liu Guopei would never know that Zhao Qin's help was almost entirely
due to what he had said to her in the private room! That trust!

For Liu Guopei, that trust might not mean much, but for Zhao Qin, a girl who had spent years in the decadent
Xianglan Street, constantly looked down upon, it was something she would remember for a lifetime.

People are sometimes that simple.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Zixin's Heartbreak

"How did you bring her in? She doesn't have a membership card here!" Liu Guopei suddenly turned around and asked.

The short man was startled by Liu Guopei's sudden turn, thinking he was going to hit him, and quickly
covered . Only after hearing Liu Guopei's question did he lower his hands.

"No need for the card, the card is for outsiders. I told Brother Yun she's my girl, and I brought her here to show off.
Brother Yun let us in. Boss, I didn't know she was your woman! I won't do it again!" The short
man didn't forget to emphasize that he didn't mean it when answering the question.

"There's going to be a next time?" Looking at the man's ugly face, and remembering what he had seen the guy
do to Zhao Qin on camera, Liu Guopei was furious. He kicked him again. Judging from the guy's arrogant attitude just now,
he must have done this kind of thing many times before!

The short man was kicked hard by Liu Guopei and fell to the ground, groaning in pain!

"Brother Liu, let's leave here first. Your friend needs to rest. It's not safe here."
Liang Yu still felt that since they were on the Green Wolf Gang's territory, rushing upstairs like that might have
attracted attention. It was better to leave first to be safe.

Liu Guopei knew this place wasn't safe, but he'd been too caught up in the moment to care.
Now that Zhao Qin was safe, they needed to leave.

"If you dare touch this girl again, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible fate!" Liu Guopei coldly
told the short man lying on the ground.

"Yes, yes," the man on the ground stammered.

To prevent him from calling for help after they left, Liu Guopei used his clothes to tie him naked to the corner of the bed.
As they were leaving, Liang Yu stopped Liu Guopei, who was supporting Zhao Qin, and made him sandwich Zhao Qin between them before leaving.

"There aren't many rooms on the second floor, and they're expensive, so people often take drunk girls out to
hotels like this. This way, no one will suspect anything, and we can't see her face,"
Liang Yu explained, seeing Liu Guopei's puzzled expression. It has to be said that Liang Yu was very meticulous; he even considered this. No wonder he
could take so many photos secretly at the Qingdi Club without being discovered!

As expected, no one questioned Zhao Qin as they helped her downstairs and even after they left the Qingdi Club. However,
quite a few people gave the three of them knowing, ambiguous glances.

After leaving, Liu Guopei and Liang Yu headed straight for the Qiaojiaren Bar. On the way, Liang Yu didn't ask about the girl
's relationship with Liu Guopei, because he thought there must be something unusual between them,
and some things were better left unasked. However, he didn't know that he was overthinking things.

After returning to the Qiaojiaren Bar, to prevent others from seeing Zhao Qin
's disheveled appearance, Liu Guopei covered her face with her hair. He then booked a private room at the bar, placed her on the sofa, and after thinking
for a long time decided to let Zhao Qin rest there and visit her again later. Then, he and Liang Yu
drove away from Xianglan Street in their Porsche Cayenne. This

night was fortunate for Liu Guopei, as his impromptu decision saved Zhao Qin. However, for Zixin, who was in Beijing and Tianjin, it was an ordeal. In the presidential suite on the 18th floor of the Farade International Hotel in Beijing and Tianjin, an extremely beautiful woman stood by the window, gazing silently out. She stood alone, like a fairy who had fallen earth! Her tightly furrowed brows revealed a hint of sorrow in her heart, making one want to embrace her and comfort her. Upon closer inspection, her meticulously groomed face was as white and delicate as solidified milk. Standing at 1.67 meters tall, she wore white high-heeled sandals, which made her appear even more graceful. The well-fitting fabric accentuated her full breasts, and her smooth, beautiful long hair exuded a faint fragrance. Her aloof almond-shaped eyes and slightly parted lips revealed a sense of pride and nobility. Standing by the window, she possessed a noble air that could be admired from afar but not dared to be profaned. A white, tight-fitting blouse, adorned with several large red flowers, revealed a blue bra beneath the thin fabric, her full breasts seemingly about to burst forth. A light blue, tight-fitting pencil skirt clung to her ample hips ; the fabric appeared to be a finely woven silky material, faintly shimmering. Below the skirt, her shapely calves were encased in flesh-colored stockings, and delicate blue high-heeled crystal sandals accentuated her graceful and sensual figure. This beautiful yet melancholic woman was none other than Zixin, Liu Guopei's wife, now residing in Beijing and Tianjin! Standing by the window, Zixin's heart was filled with contradiction and despair. Since leaving Zhonghai and coming here, she had been enduring torment and regret, not to mention guilt towards her husband, Liu Guopei. She didn't know how she had lied to him about coming to Beijing and Tianjin on a business trip. Now, the only thing Zixin knew was that she had compromised once again, fallen into depravity once more . Chapter Twenty-Eight; A Storm is Brewing. Under the cover of night, Zhonghai remained a bustling scene of traffic and vibrant lights, with beams of light piercing the darkness from the rooftops. In recent years, under the increasingly relaxed policies of the central government, this metropolis of Zhonghai has experienced rapid development, becoming not only the most dazzling pearl on the coast but also gradually becoming the economic center of China and even Asia! Late at night, in Tianjing, the capital of China, in an ordinary courtyard house. "Old Yun, this is the current situation of the Zhonghai West City redevelopment. Do you have any instructions for me to take back to Secretary Wang and Mayor Kong?" a middle-aged man politely asked an elderly man in his seventies, with a square face, imposing presence, and a dignified air. The old man sat on an old-fashioned wooden chair, not replying to the middle-aged man, but instead talking to himself, "I was born in Zhonghai when I was a child, and my political career started there too. Speaking of which, it's been several years since I joined the Discipline Inspection Commission." "Old Yun, if you want to come to Zhonghai, you can come anytime. Secretary Wang and Mayor Kong will definitely be very happy !" The middle-aged man quickly responded to the old man's words, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his expression. "Ah, I was just saying, I'm old... and I can't get away anyway, Xiao Zhou." The middle-aged man Xiao Zhou, completely ignoring the middle-aged man's awkward expression, but given their ages, it was quite normal for him to call him that. "I'm listening, please speak!" "I know there have always been differing opinions within your Zhonghai Municipal Committee regarding the West City redevelopment project, and many people are unwilling for Zhonghai to be the first to spearhead the redevelopment of an old urban area! I don't care about those things, but now that you've finally reached a consensus and chosen to start this project, you must do it well and not ruin the first pilot area for the redevelopment of old urban areas in our country under your hands! Go back and tell Xiao Wang, Xiao Kong, and the entire Zhonghai Municipal Committee that in this project, whether you support it or oppose it, whoever causes problems will be held accountable."

"Come find me at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection with your own head! No matter who you are!" The old man said with a serious and unquestionable expression,
exuding an aura of authority and power, unlike someone in his seventies.

Night always comes suddenly and goes quickly.

Monday, the start of another work cycle.

Although 'Chimera' hadn't completely left, its impact was minimal. Before landing in Zhonghai City,
most of its energy dissipated at sea, and the rain gradually stopped at dawn. In

the early morning, Liu Guopei got up early and went to the fitness square in Yayuan Community to exercise. In this
era of ever-increasing pace of life, occasionally taking time to relax here is a good choice!

After running a few laps around the square, Liu Guopei sat down on a plastic chair to rest. He wondered when
Mayor would return. Xiao Hui said he had gone to Tianjing. Without Mayor Zheng, his room for maneuver would be
much smaller, especially now that the Hai Le Gang and the Qing Lang Gang were eyeing Xicheng, not to mention some of the behind-the-scenes figures in the Municipal Party Committee
!

What Liu Guopei found most unacceptable was that the compensation for the first phase of demolition revealed collusion between someone in
his company and the Hailu gang. Otherwise, how could
he have been completely unaware of such a serious matter as withholding nearly half of the homeowners' compensation?

The money wasn't the most important thing; it could be earned back. The most crucial issue was that
someone in his team, who had been with him for so many years and had a proven track record of success, was betraying the company!

Liu Guopei had always believed that the relationship between boss and employees was reciprocal, like the interplay of forces.
If they will certainly work diligently for you; conversely, if you treat them poorly, they will just
coast along without any ambition. Therefore, he had always been very caring and generous to his employees, but he never
expected that someone would still betray him!

This truly made Liu Guopei very uncomfortable, because if the company couldn't be united internally, how could they possibly succeed in the Xicheng
redevelopment project a place that wasn't even his home turf? He was destined to
be mercilessly swallowed up by that hidden curtain, leaving no trace

. So, since Mayor Zheng wasn't in Zhonghai for the time being, he could take this opportunity to
thoroughly investigate the company's internal affairs and see who was colluding with the Hailu Gang!

After his run, Liu Guopei ate some breakfast at the entrance of his residential area, then went home to take a shower before driving his Porsche to
the company.

"Xiaohui, why are you here so early again? It's only 7:30! You're a girl, you should sleep in a little longer next time.
People who don't know better might think I'm exploiting you, haha!" Liu Guopei thought he was the first one to arrive at the company,
but as soon as he entered, he saw Xiaohui already sitting at her desk working. What a sensible girl! For some
reason every time Liu Guopei saw this capable and sensible young woman, his mood would unconsciously improve!

"Mr. Liu, you're here! You're here so early too, and you're still criticizing me!" Xiao Hui stood
up said crisply, her rosy, delicate face beaming with a sweet smile

. Xiao Hui was about 1.62 meters tall, with loose hair. A dark blue women's formal suit tightly hugged her curvaceous
figure. White lace trim peeked out from the neckline, revealing a glimpse of
her . Beneath the suit skirt were a pair of straight, shapely legs clad in light flesh-colored stockings, and
ordinary black leather sandals with mid-heeled shoes. She had an oval face typical of East Asians, with delicately arched eyebrows
and small but always slightly bewildered almond-shaped eyes. Below her small nose were soft-looking
lips. Especially when she spoke, her naturally pouting lips exuded a youthful cuteness and liveliness, making her seem
like a pure and lovable girl next door!

"Haha, that's right, we're all good comrades! Since you're here, come to my office for a moment, I have something to ask
you. Just bring in the contracts signed by the first phase of the demolition owners!" Liu Guopei chatted and laughed with Xiaohui for a few moments,
then gave the instructions and went into his office.

Not long after he sat down, Xiaohui came in from the doorway carrying a large stack of documents.

"Mr. Liu, these are the first phase of the demolition contracts, a total of 516. 203 owners have already
moved out, and construction can begin on this part at any time. The remaining 312 households are expected to move out in about two weeks according to the contracts.
Furthermore, 30% of the owners have already received their compensation, and the remaining 70% have been submitted to the finance department for review."
Xiaohui spoke fluently and efficiently. It was clear from this that this lovely girl had put in
a lot of effort and hard work; otherwise, she wouldn't have remembered everything so clearly.

"Hmm, Xiaohui!
Besides ?" Liu Guopei pondered for a moment after listening, then asked, his mind racing as he considered
where the contract had gone wrong.

"Known beforehand? Impossible! You told me, and I personally relayed Manager Sun's information.
How could anyone else know?" Xiaohui was puzzled by Liu Guopei's question, tilting her head
thoughtfully.

Actually, Xiaohui understood what he meant, but if someone hadn't known the details beforehand and informed the Haile
Gang, revealing his bottom line, then according to Wenxing's initial compensation offer, the Haile Gang wouldn't have much profit
after deducting They wouldn't take such a big risk for such a small amount!
Therefore, Liu Guopei believed someone in the company knew his bottom line and leaked it!

"Mr. Liu, is there a problem with the contract?" Xiaohui seemed to realize something and asked cautiously.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pointing to Sun Wenxing

Xiaohui was a poor college student he had once helped; meeting her was a kind of fate!

Back then, I had just started my own business. The company was small and not located in this upscale office building; we just rented a
small, ordinary ground-floor shop as our office. That August, I was looking to hire a college student as a summer
temporary worker .

It was a very hot afternoon. Since we couldn't afford air conditioning, I was sweating profusely as I
worked when I suddenly heard a shy girl's voice from the doorway, "Boss, are you hiring summer workers
?" Although her voice was slightly shy, it was clear and pleasant to listen to, especially when I
was sweating and feeling irritable.

I stopped what I was doing and looked towards the door. I saw a girl in a light blue school uniform
standing there, looking at me expectantly, as if she really wanted the temporary job. Her voice was unusually clear.
Her gaze was like a gentle breeze, instantly calming him down. The afternoon sun shone on her oval face,
making her already shy cheeks even rosier. Beneath her school skirt, her fair and delicate legs peeked out, like two sections of jade lotus root
just emerging from the water. She wore a pair of worn white canvas shoes. Her whole appearance was youthful and elegant!

Liu Guopei decided to hire her the moment he saw her. And subsequent events proved that this shy girl
did not disappoint him. Her hard work surpassed everyone else's; just like now, she was always the first to arrive
and the last to leave. Her excellent learning ability allowed her to excel in the two-month temporary job,
doing better than anyone else!

Later, through conversation, Liu Guopei learned that Xiaohui was a girl from a poor rural family with
a younger brother. Except for the first month after arriving at university, she hadn't spent a single penny of her family's money during her years of university! Her tuition was covered by
student loans, and her living expenses were all earned through temporary jobs!

Liu Guopei was moved by the girl and, without hesitation, sponsored her to finish university and even paid off
her loans. After graduation, Xiaohui wanted to work for him. At that time, the company was still in its early stages, and he didn't want
to hold her back, so Liu Guopei refused. However, the girl insisted on staying, crying.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu? You're spacing out again. Are you alright? You've been like this lately," Xiaohui called out with concern when Liu Guopei
ignored Then, pouting, she muttered softly, seemingly
unhappy about his frequent spacing out

. Hearing Xiaohui's worried voice, she quickly snapped out of her reverie. Faced with her doubts, Liu Guopei decided
to tell her, because she would never betray him!

Liu Guopei
recounted to her. After finishing, he quietly looked at Xiao Hui, who was utterly shocked. Liu Guopei smiled wryly. He
had hoped Xiao Hui would share her thoughts, but seeing her gaping mouth in astonishment, he knew
she hadn't expected this situation either, and wouldn't be able to say anything now.

"Xiao Hui?" Now it was Liu Guopei's turn to call her.

"Uh, Mr. Liu, do you mean there's a mole within our company?" Xiao Hui, regaining her
composure , blushed and quickly said, but she couldn't bring herself to say the word "traitor."

Seeing Liu Guopei nod helplessly, Xiao Hui knew her guess was right. Was there really
a mole in the company? Xiao Hui recalled her entire involvement in the signing of the first phase of the demolition contract, seemingly trying to
find something out, because she wanted to help Liu Guopei and didn't want to see him troubled.

"Mr. Liu," Xiao Hui hesitated.

Seeing her expression, Liu Guopei knew she had something to say but was hesitant to say it. "Xiaohui, just
say what you're thinking. I've only told you about this in the company because I completely trust you!"
Liu Guopei encouraged her.

"Mm," Xiaohui blushed even more upon hearing Liu Guopei's words, but she seemed quite happy to hear that
he had only told her.

"Because you let me join the signing of this first phase of the demolition contract, I was involved in the whole process. Although you weren't there much at
headquarters , I was there almost every day. If someone were tampering with things here, I
would definitely have noticed. In other words, if what those two market aunties said is true, then the problem with the contract
could have occurred at the Xicheng base! That means..." Encouraged by Liu Guopei, Xiaohui boldly
voiced her thoughts, but hesitated at the end.

"So, the mole is with the advance team that Wenxing brought?" Liu Guopei continued, picking up where Xiaohui left off
.

Xiao Hui's analysis was not without merit. Given her cautious nature, she would spend some time at headquarters every day,
so it was impossible for her to be fooled by someone!

"Xiao Hui, keep going. It's just your analysis, it hasn't been implemented yet, it's okay!" Xiao Hui
didn't dare to speak up because she was too kind and didn't want to talk badly about others behind their backs. However, this was very important to the company,
so Liu Guopei encouraged her to continue.

"If that's the case, the problem can only be at the Xicheng base. Hai Le said he's also
from Xicheng, so the two match up perfectly. But...but..." Xiao Hui hesitated again.

"But what? Xiao Hui, don't hesitate. Just say what you want to say. You know what this
means for the company! The reason we need to investigate isn't because of the compensation, but because if we don't
seize this opportunity to find this person, the subsequent projects will definitely still run into trouble! The Xicheng redevelopment
isn't just a project for Zhonghai, but also the starting point for China's reforms! Many people are watching closely! If
something goes wrong, do you know how serious it will be? At that point, not only us, but even Mayor Zheng won't be able to protect himself
. So just say what you think of, don't hesitate!"

"I...I..." Xiao Hui was also anxious, her face flushed. She was about to muster her courage, but then hesitated again.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you even trust me? Is there something you can't tell me?" Liu Guopei
was getting impatient and couldn't help but raise his voice to shout at Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui lowered her head and thought for a long time before finally raising her flushed face and looking at Liu Guopei with a determined gaze.

"Since the Hai Le Gang did this, they must know our bottom line! Otherwise, the risk would
be too great. And this price was something you told me personally last time, and I personally relayed it to Manager Sun.
There were no documents, so only the three of us know this figure! If
the problem originated from the Xicheng base, then it can only be Manager Sun! The reason you can't understand it is because you trust
Manager Sun and have never doubted him, so you can't figure out where the problem lies!" Xiao Hui finally mustered all her
courage to voice this bold conjecture from the depths of her heart!

Chapter 30: The Shocking Bank Transfer Slip

"Absolutely impossible! Wenxing and I started from scratch together, he would never betray me!" Liu
Guopei jumped up from his office chair with a "Zheng!" and decisively refuted Xiaohui's speculation. What a joke!
How could Sun Wenxing betray him given their relationship? He also finally understood why Xiaohui
had —she suspected Sun Wenxing! However, Liu Guopei still
believed she was wrong without a doubt.

"Then…I must have miscalculated, or…or…it's possible that Manager Bo told one of his
subordinates about …" Xiaohui didn't really want to speculate like that. Sun Xing had always treated her like a younger sister, but…
I hope my speculation is completely wrong.

Xiao Hui's previous deduction is probably correct; the problem most likely lies with the West City base! And
judging from the current situation, it's quite possible that Wen Xing told someone he trusts, and that's how
the information leaked out!

"Xiao Hui, don't tell anyone about this for now. I believe this person will definitely slip up!"
Liu Guopei instructed. Since this person has already betrayed the company, he certainly won't be satisfied with just a mere first-phase
demolition ! As long as the West City redevelopment project continues, he will be discovered sooner or later!

"Mr. Liu, we've already disbursed 30% of the compensation, and the finance department
will soon approve the remaining 70%. Should I stop their approval process? We can't just let it go like this..."

"Don't rush to stop it. If we stop it completely, people will definitely be suspicious. Then that mole
will just run away, and that'll be too easy for him! I'll write a note, and you can take it to the CFO, Zhang Yang, and tell him to
approve 20% first. Find a reason to hold back the remaining 50%. Without my signature, no one can approve it!"
Liu Guopei interrupted Xiao Hui. Although he understood her concerns, stopping it all at once was definitely not an option; it would be
too obvious! They absolutely couldn't let this person get away. He had always treated all the employees well, and since
this guy dared to betray the company for money, he couldn't let him off easily!

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll go out now. I'll handle this matter later!" Xiao Hui
said .

"Wait a minute, Xiaohui! Has Secretary Yang mentioned Mayor Zheng to you recently?" Liu Guopei asked
again . He couldn't help it; the mayor was too important to his operations! "No...no...I haven't contacted that person either!" Xiaohui blushed

again when Liu Guopei mentioned it, her expression unusual. "Xiaohui, what's wrong? Your expression seems strange?" Liu Guopei couldn't understand why she was blushing such a strange expression, so he asked suspiciously. "I'm fine, Mr. Liu, you're busy, I'll go out now!" Xiaohui didn't answer directly and turned to leave. Although Xiaohui didn't say anything, Liu Guopei instinctively guessed from her expression that something must be wrong! And it was very likely related to Mayor Zheng! Why did she react this way when he brought this up? He thought about it carefully but still couldn't figure out the connection. Sigh... Forget it...I'm already overwhelmed...Normally, Liu Guopei would definitely ask Xiaohui for clarification , mainly because he was afraid she was carrying some burden alone without telling him. However, he was overwhelmed with work and couldn't spare the time to deal with this. If anything happened, Xiaohui would contact him… But what Liu Guopei didn't know was that six months later, he would regret this carelessness for the rest of his life… and could never forgive himself…!! He questioned himself countless times… why didn't he keep Xiaohui for just one more minute to ask her clearly…? Of course… that's a story for later, let's leave that aside for now…! Liu Guopei spent the entire morning at the company, replying to some routine emails and approving some documents Xiaohui had brought. He treated Xiaohui to lunch outside at noon, then returned to the office; after all, he hadn't been to the company for several days and still had a lot to do. When someone is engrossed in something, time seems to fly by. Take Liu Guopei, for example… He'd been working in the office since lunch, and before he knew it, it was 4 PM… “Knock knock…” Just as Liu Guopei was absorbed in his work, there was a knock at the door. Without even looking, he knew it was Xiao Hui again. “Come in,” Liu Guopei called out, and sure enough, Xiao Hui walked in. But strangely, she was carrying several sheets of paper. “Mr. Liu, after you talked to me about the contract this morning, I spent a long time checking it this afternoon. Could you take a look at these sheets of paper?” Xiao Hui said with a disappointed look, seemingly a little sad. Seeing her expression, he knew she must have discovered something very important! Liu Guopei immediately stopped working and took the sheets of paper to examine them carefully . “Bank transfer records? What's the significance of that?” These were four bank transfer slips, but what could they possibly mean ? Liu Guopei asked curiously. “These are just a few transfer records, but they are very helpful to us!” I thought about it for a long time at noon. Given our company's consistent caution, if someone had done something underhanded, they would definitely have left something behind . So in the afternoon, I sorted through all the documents and went to the finance department to retrieve the records of the 30% compensation payment. Sure enough, I found the problem! "Xiao Hui explained quietly. "Go on, what exactly is the problem?" "When our company was distributing the compensation, we discovered that the finance department had approved the entire 30% at once and then stopped recording it in our company's financial reports. In other words, the money wasn't directly distributed to the homeowners by our company! Finance Manager Zhang said it was first transferred to a so-called Xicheng District government account, which I found very strange. Logically, this money should have been distributed by us, not by the Xicheng District government! If someone really colluded with Hai Le to withhold this money, there would definitely be a record! Since Manager Zhang often deals with banks and knows many people, I asked him to have his friends at the bank check where the money ultimately went. Sure enough, after two transfers, most of the money ended up in the name of a company called Hai Le Investment! It's these two pieces of paper!" Xiao Hui carefully told Liu Guopei what she had found out and took two pieces of paper from Liu Guopei's hand. "Now that we know about the Haile Gang, it's not surprising that this money ended up in Yemen's accounts..." "It's not surprising that it ended up in Haile Investment Company, but these are only two of them... there are more..." Xiao Hui interrupted Liu , pointing with her slender white fingers to the two remaining pieces of paper in his hand. "Where did these two go?" Liu Guopei realized something, as if the remaining two were the key, and reflexively grabbed Xiao Hui's hand, asking hurriedly. "Mr. Liu..." Xiao Hui blushed slightly, knowing he didn't mean it, and said shyly when she saw Liu Guopei grab her hand. "Uh... I'm sorry... Xiao Hui! I really want to know the result, please tell me!" Realizing his action , Liu Guopei quickly let go of her hand and urged her. "This money also went through two transfers before finally ending up in two private accounts. Manager Zhang's friend at the bank checked..."

"Then, we discovered the account holder... the account holder is... is..." She was fine until now, but Xiaohui
hesitated . Liu Guopei was a little exasperated... He wondered how many times she'd stammered today...

"Who exactly is the account holder?"

"It's... it's... Xicheng... the head of the Urban Construction Bureau, Chu Hua's... and... and another one is... is... Manager Sun
's!"
