Lin Dong smiled wickedly, stubbed out his cigarette, and calmly walked up to the 10th floor through the emergency exit.
Without even looking, Lin Dong guessed which apartment on the 10th floor Li Songwei had entered.
Aside from units 1008 and 1007, Li Songwei will not choose any other units.
Because these two apartments are closest to the emergency exit.
Given Director Li's cautious nature, he would definitely choose this option in order to shorten the distance he travels between floors and avoid being exposed as much as possible.
Why was Lin Dong so certain? Simply because he himself was a cautious and prudent person.
Lin Dong hid in the fire escape on the 10th floor and smoked most of a pack of Nanyang Double Happiness cigarettes.
After waiting for a full hour and a half, the door to room 1007, which was diagonally opposite in the corridor, finally opened.
Then, a gentle woman's voice came over:
"It's cold outside, remember to wear an extra layer next time you come."
"Okay, go back now. I'll come see you again in a few days."
Another deep male voice answered.
Lin Dong was certain that this man was Chen Songwei. He hadn't expected this guy to know how to enjoy himself so much. Heh.
The 12th floor is used to hide wealth, and the 10th floor is used to keep a mistress. Money and women can be kept at the same location on different floors of the same building, which is both secretive and safe, and also efficient.
Hearing the door close and Li Songwei's footsteps as he left, Lin Dong quickly peeked out and confirmed that it was indeed Li Songwei's back.
He breathed a sigh of relief; the most crucial first step was finally complete.
...
41-year-old Li Songwei graduated from Nandu Vocational Police Academy in his early years, and was the only top student in all subjects that year.
After graduation, he was assigned to a grassroots police station in Lugang, where he repeatedly made meritorious contributions based on his outstanding performance.
At the young age of 33, he was promoted from director to provincial department, serving successively as deputy captain and captain of the anti-smuggling brigade, until three years ago when he was promoted to deputy director of the anti-smuggling bureau.
His early life was filled with dazzling glory, and he encountered almost no setbacks.
But in recent years, his frequent contact with various underworld figures has gradually made him taste the benefits of power, especially money and women, which has led him to sink deeper and deeper into depravity.
He was very cautious, so the dirty deals he made behind the scenes were all done in great secrecy.
The current location where he hides his stolen goods, as well as the place where he keeps his mistress, were all carefully planned and arranged by him.
At work, he was always a respectable deputy director; at home, he was a successful husband and a kind-hearted father.
This Sunday, Li Songwei had a wonderful afternoon nap at home, and didn't get up until 2 p.m. feeling refreshed.
He went out of the living room, brewed a pot of Tieguanyin tea, picked up a newspaper, and sat on the sofa to read it leisurely.
The sunlight streaming in from the balcony dispelled much of the winter chill, its warmth and gentle touch on the skin feeling like a lover's caressing hands.
Li Songwei occasionally looked up and glanced at his middle-aged wife knitting a sweater beside him, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
This morning, I was embracing my beautiful mistress.
He couldn't help but savor the memory of that fair, smooth body and the passionate, enchanting moments they shared.
Oh dear, people are so easily tempted.
Especially after you've experienced the pleasures of being a young and beautiful woman, the contrast between these two completely different visual and tactile experiences is just too strong.
"Ring ring..."
Just as I was lost in thought, the red landline phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.
Li Songwei frowned and picked up the microphone:
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Director Li?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"Director Li, you don't need to know who I am. I just want to meet with you to talk about something."
"If you need anything, please come to my workplace during working hours. Otherwise, I will not accept any invitations outside of work."
"Really? Hehe... Director Li is truly upright and righteous. What a pity. I wonder if Director Li is interested in the items on the 10th and 12th floors of Building 26 in Jinliyuan?"
Who exactly are you?
"At 3 PM today, at the Olena Western Restaurant, in private room number 3, I'll be waiting for you."
Before Li Songwei could react, the call was disconnected.
The constant beeping of the dial tone pounded in Li Songwei's heart, and his face turned deathly pale.
Oh no, my secret has been revealed.
Who exactly is this person? What is their purpose?
In this situation, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and go to the appointment.
An hour later, at 3 p.m., at the Olena Western Restaurant.
At this time of day, the Western restaurant is almost deserted, except for a few customers drinking coffee. The usual bustling scene is nowhere to be seen.
The small speaker hanging on the wall plays soft, lyrical piano music, unconsciously evoking a sense of languidness.
At this moment, in VIP box number 3, two men were sitting facing each other.
"I saw you this morning in the emergency exit on the 12th floor of Jinliyuan. Were you following me?"
"Director Li, let's not waste any more words. We're all sensible people; we're not interested in what you've hidden in Jinliyuan."
Lin Dong said calmly.
He picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and found it slightly bitter at first, but with a sweet aftertaste that lingered in his mouth.
"Okay, so what do you want?"
Li Songwei sighed inwardly and said dejectedly.
Unfortunately, their biggest weakness is now in someone else's hands.
"It's very simple. At the end of last month, you seized a batch of smuggled electrical appliances in the Nantan waters, right?"
