A down-and-out middle-aged man unexpectedly reincarnates back to 28 years ago. He encounters a shocking heist and activates the "Black Gold System".

Chapter 21 Li Songwei's Secret

Yesterday, Lin Dong successfully obtained Li Songwei's detailed information and 3 million yuan in cash from Fan Gui.

Of course, Lin Dong would convert this black gold as soon as possible.

His wealth increased by another 3 million, and now his wealth balance is 19.91 million yuan.

In the 1990s, such wealth would have made someone a true tycoon.

But Lin Dong knew that if he wanted the system to keep upgrading, this amount of money was simply not enough.

Lin Dong was very curious about what would happen if his "Black Gold System" were upgraded to the highest level.

Will I become omnipotent at that time?

...

The seizure of Wanqi's previous batch of smuggled electrical appliances was personally overseen by Li Songwei of the Provincial Anti-Smuggling Bureau. In other words, Li Songwei was the key to resolving this matter.

Once we've won him over, Wan Qingshan's goods will be back.

Lin Dong carefully studied the information provided by Fan Gui. On the surface, Li Songwei seemed unremarkable, but one suspicious point caught Lin Dong's attention:

Li Songwei lives in the provincial government's staff quarters, but he appears at Building 26 of Jinliyuan almost every weekend morning and occasionally on weekday evenings.

They appear frequently and regularly in the same neighborhood. Do you think there's nothing fishy going on?

The next morning, Lin Dong lay in wait downstairs at Building 26 of Jinliyuan, waiting for Li Songwei to appear.

Lin Dong believes that although waiting passively for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is foolish, it is effective.

Just after 9:30, a tall man came into Lin Dong's line of sight.

Although the man was wearing a mask, Lin Dong recognized him at a glance.

Besides, isn't there an even more secure option, the "Black Gold Eye"?

[Li Songwei, male, 41 years old, deputy director of the Provincial Anti-Smuggling Bureau, is involved in 43 cases of corruption and abuse of power for personal gain, with illicit gains valued at 46.5 million yuan.]

Holy crap, this guy's a big fish!

Lin Dong watched him enter the elevator and then quickly walked into the lobby on the first floor.

Because it was a weekend morning, there weren't many people waiting for the elevator in the lobby.

Lin Dong walked to the elevator and stared at the rising elevator numbers until it finally stopped at the 12th floor.

Li Songwei should have gotten off the elevator on the 12th floor, but in order to confirm his guess, Lin Dong decided to follow him up himself.

A short while later, the elevator started descending again.

"bite!"

The elevator doors opened, and a girl wearing a white down jacket stepped out. She had an elegant demeanor and a rather pretty face.

The girl's appearance caught the eye of the people waiting for the elevator.

"This girl is so beautiful," Lin Dong thought to himself.

To avoid attracting too much attention, he lowered his head and quickly walked into the elevator.

"Hello!"

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, the girl in white suddenly turned around and called out to the inside of the elevator:

"Wait, I forgot something. I'll go upstairs to get it."

The girl slipped back into the elevator and saw Lin Dong press the 12th floor button. A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her lips.

"bite!"

They arrived at the 12th floor, and Ouyang Qing followed Lin Dong out.

Lin Dong deliberately slowed down, intentionally letting Ouyang Qing go first, because no matter which way the girl went, he would choose the opposite direction.

Strangely enough, this beautiful girl with an outstanding temperament also followed Lin Dong's example and stood still at the elevator entrance.

"Are you... alright?"

Even if Lin Dong was stupid, he would know that the woman was doing it on purpose. Could it be that he had been seen through? Impossible.

"You are... Lin Dong?"

The girl no longer tried to hide her feelings and openly looked Lin Dong up and down:

"You must be Lin Dong, hehehe, what are you doing at Jinliyuan so early in the morning?"

Damn, she really got recognized? Who's this woman?

Who are you? Do we know each other?

"I don't know you, but we're acquainted now. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ouyang Qing, and I'm a reporter for the 'Qingqing Online' program on Southern Metropolis TV."

"A TV reporter? How do you know me?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own methods. Lin Dong, let's schedule a time for an interview."

"Reporter Ouyang Qing, right? Maybe you've got it wrong. I'm not some big shot, and I certainly don't accept any exclusive interviews."

"It's not just big shots who get interviewed. We can interview anyone or anything that interests our program..."

"I refuse."

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he walked to the right. Reporters were not to be trifled with, so he decided to stay away from them first.

"Hey, what do you mean by this? Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Ouyang Qing quickly caught up with him.

"No need to consider it, I refuse."

Lin Dong answered coldly, and while walking forward, he secretly activated the Black Gold System.

[System scan in progress, no black gold detected yet...]

Lin Dong followed the 12th floor because, based on his experience in his previous life, many corrupt officials liked to buy or rent a house outside specifically to store their ill-gotten gains.

In news reports from my past life, there were often stories of corrupt officials being found with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in some hidden house.

They even hoarded a considerable amount of gold jewelry, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, and expensive wines.

Therefore, Lin Dong guessed that Li Songwei must be hiding a huge secret on the 12th floor.

It's either a place to hide gold or a place to hide a mistress, or both.

"Lin Dong, what are you doing at Jinli Garden?"

Ouyang Qing was still not giving up, and followed Lin Dong, chattering on and on:

“I know this place well. If you’re looking for someone, I can help you.”

"No need, I know where he lives."

Lin Dong said irritably, thinking to himself: This woman is so annoying.
