Under the cover of night, Cheng Chun Kui arrived at the rendezvous point with practiced ease.
The man's figure remained hidden in the shadows of the trees, blending perfectly with the night.
When he saw Cheng Chunqiu arrive, he said, "Why are you sending me the code again, telling me to come over for a rendezvous? Didn't I say I'd come to you if there was a mission?"
Cheng Chunqiu said, "I have something going on on my end, and I don't have time to wait for you to contact me. I can only use a code to find you."
The secret code she and this man agreed on was the front for her family's bar.
When the bar is open, a sign is hung on the big tree in front of the bar. It is a yellow cloth flag with the words "bar" sewn on it in red cloth.
There are large trees on both sides of the bar entrance, and usually this sign is hung on the tree on the left.
If this sign suddenly appears on the big tree on the right one day, that would be the code Cheng Chun-kui sends out for the nightly rendezvous.
This man saw the sign hanging on the big tree on the right, so he went to the agreed meeting place that night.
The man asked, "What's going on? Tell me!"
Cheng Chun-kui said, "I told you last time about Song Wen-hui's matter, why haven't you resolved it yet?!"
Today, Song Wenhui came to the bar and made a scene, trying to take over the bar and all the money it made. She almost revealed that I wasn't the eldest daughter of the Cheng family!
"This is too dangerous! I haven't left yet! If my identity is exposed, none of us will escape!"
She had to threaten the man she was meeting with!
We must get rid of Song Wenhui, otherwise she will be exposed sooner or later. Once Song Wenhui is dead, who will dare to say that she is not the eldest daughter of the Cheng family?
The man said, "I heard some people saying that Song Wenhui caused trouble at Cheng Xiaokui's bar again. I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Cheng Chunqiu said, "Of course it's serious! I almost got exposed today! Why didn't you deal with it sooner?"
The man said, "You think I don't want to solve this?! Cough cough, it's just that I didn't succeed, isn't it? If you gave me a chance, I could have solved it too!"
His words were vague, and he did not tell Cheng Chun Kui the real reason.
The real reason was simple: he felt that they might retreat at any time, and there was no need to take such a big risk by killing Song Wenhui at that time.
He was betting that Cheng Xiao Kui would be convicted in the next few days! Of course, reality was far more complicated than he imagined; Cheng Xiao Kui has not been convicted yet!
Cheng Chun-kui said, "Just tell me straight! When are you going to get rid of Song Wen-hui?! If I get exposed and arrested, none of us will be happy!"
The man sneered and said, "You're threatening me?! Ha, you've got some nerve!"
Cheng Chunqiu said, "Everyone looks out for themselves. Who isn't afraid of death?! I've risked my life for the organization and carried out so many missions. I don't want to be caught off guard and make a pointless sacrifice!"
And this shipwreck has nothing to do with me; it's because of your inaction! How could I possibly accept that?!
The man said, "Who's not doing anything? I just failed! Don't worry! I'll send Song Wenhui to meet her maker in the next couple of days! Is that alright?"
Cheng Chunqiu said, "Fine! I'll trust you one more time. But if you still don't cooperate with my work, I'll escalate the matter to a higher level and have you punished!"
The man said, "Alright, I got it! You should leave now; the longer you stay together, the more dangerous it will be."
Cheng Chun Kui waved to the man and then turned to leave.
However, she had only taken two steps when the man noticed that money was floating out of Cheng Chun Kui's coat.
A lot of money floated out, including ten-yuan notes and five-yuan notes; piles of money fell to the ground and drifted away in the wind.
The man couldn't help but shout, "Qianqian! The money's gone! What happened to you?!"
Cheng Chunqiu turned around, looking puzzled, and asked, "What? The money ran away? Money can run away?"
The next moment, she exclaimed, "My money! How did all the money disappear?"
Although it was a gasp, she tried her best to control the volume and covered her mouth with her hand.
The money that fell to the ground was swept up by the wind, rolling around in the street as if it had gained freedom!
The man said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pick up the money! Shine the flashlight on it!"
It's so dark here, you can only see a little shadow. To grab the money accurately, you have to use a flashlight.
Cheng Chun-kui quickly turned on her flashlight and shone it on the money on the ground.
The man had expected a lot of money to be lost, but he didn't expect it to be this much.
He stared in astonishment at the money on the ground. He couldn't care less about anything else; all his reason was clouded by the money. He quickly squatted down to pick it up!
Cheng Chunkui, holding a flashlight, also squatted down to pick up the money. They picked up the money around them and quickly shone the flashlight on a place further away.
Cheng Chun-kui held a flashlight and scanned the entire street, including the man beside her.
The man was caught off guard when the flashlight suddenly shone on him. By the time he reacted and tried to block the light with his hand, two seconds had already passed.
Before the man could speak, Cheng Chunqiu hurriedly said, "Did the light shine on you? I was so focused on the ground that I didn't notice where you were. Did the light blind you?"
The man took two steps back and said, "It's nothing. It just swayed again. Were you looking at the ground the whole time? Be careful!"
Cheng Chun-kui said, "That's right, there's so much money on the ground, who else would we look at but the ground? Hurry up and pick it up, there's a whole lot of money ahead."
As she spoke, she took several steps forward to pick up the money over there.
The man followed, and no one complained about the money. He picked up the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
He figured that Cheng Chunqiu must have really just been looking at the ground. After all, with so much money, what else would she be looking at but the money?
Anyway, that's how he was. The two of them checked the entire street twice, making sure all the money had been picked up.
The man handed the handful of land he was clutching to Cheng Chunqiu. Cheng Chunqiu didn't even count it, and simply stuffed it into another coat pocket.
She said to the man, "Look, there's a hole in my left coat pocket, that's why the money fell out! This is all the money we earned in one night."
I closed up shop late today and rushed over to meet you, so I didn't have time to count the money. I was worried it would get stolen if I left it at home, and then a big bag of money leaked out, almost losing all the money. This is so tough!
Thank you so much! If you hadn't stopped me, this money would have been blown away by the wind, and who knows who would have gotten it!
The man said, "It's nothing, we're gay after all! You should go back now."
Cheng Chunqiu waved to the man, turned on her flashlight, and walked back. Her figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.
The man reached into his pocket, which was bulging with money.
A slight smile curved his lips. After all, Cheng Chunqiu was his subordinate; how could she possibly be as clever as him?
He casually embezzled a large sum of money, and what he kept were all ten-yuan notes! Haha!
