Lin Dong was led into the warden's office by two prison guards, where Xue Jingqiu was sitting behind his desk, wiping a black police baton with a white towel with a gloomy expression.
"You all go out first."
Xue Jingqiu waved his hand, and the two prison guards tactfully withdrew and closed the door behind them.
What's about to happen in the warden's office is beyond the control of low-ranking prison guards like them.
Who cares? Just do your job well. As long as you don't make mistakes, or make as few mistakes as possible, everything will be fine.
"sit."
Xue Jingqiu pointed with his baton at a wooden chair, his tone somewhat cold.
Lin Dong smiled, sat down casually, and stretched out his handcuffed hands, revealing two fingers:
"Chief, do you have a cigarette? I'll have one."
Xue Jingqiu stood up and slowly walked to Lin Dong. With the sunlight streaming in from the window, he carefully examined the handsome face in front of him.
Suddenly, without warning, his right baton stabbed Lin Dong hard in the abdomen.
In a flash, Lin Dong's enhanced muscles reacted instinctively, instantly boosting his body's defenses to their maximum.
At this point, not even a police baton, let alone a sharp dagger, could harm him in the slightest.
However, you still need to show the appropriate expressions.
Lin Dong pretended to be in great pain, bent over, clutched his stomach with both hands, and let out a heavy groan.
"You feel the pain now? This is to teach you a lesson. In this place, I am the main character."
Xue Jingqiu patted Lin Dong's face with satisfaction, then pulled up a wooden chair and sat down.
"Tell me, what is the meaning behind your message that you asked Yu Ziyun to convey?"
Lin Dong wiped away the beads of sweat he had faked, pointed to Xue Jingqiu's upper right abdomen, and said slowly:
"Director Xue, haven't you noticed that the pain in your right abdomen has become more severe recently? Especially after falling asleep at night."
Xue Jingqiu's expression changed slightly, and he chuckled:
"What, you gangster now acting like a miracle doctor? Cholecystitis, it's an old problem of mine, I know it myself, you don't need to worry about it."
My question is, what do you mean by that statement: "[The patient's right abdomen is seriously injured, and he probably won't live to spend the 4.6 million yuan]"?
Lin Dong gave a strange smile and lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard:
"Director Xue, we are all sensible people. Don't you have any idea what you've done and how much you've taken over the past few years?"
4.6 million is a bit low, but it's a huge sum compared to your pitiful salary. However, no matter how much money you have, you need to be alive to spend it.
"How...how do you know so much?"
Xue Jingqiu panicked and blurted out.
He didn't even know how much illicit money he had received; the figure of 4.6 million was something he secretly tallied up yesterday.
"You don't need to worry about that, Director Xue. But I have a piece of advice for you: your illness can't be delayed. It's a serious case of gallstones that has already caused a local infection. Find some time to go to a major hospital for a checkup."
Lin Dong smiled and said:
"Also, Director Xue, would you like to turn 4.6 million into 5.6 million?"
Xue Jingqiu was taken aback:
"What's the meaning?"
"It's very simple. As long as you arrange for me to meet someone, someone will naturally deliver 1 million to your tea shop."
"You only saw one person? In the detention center?"
"Yes.
...
Xue Jingqiu
The temptation of spending 1 million to meet someone is hard for Xue Jingqiu to resist.
Moreover, he was shocked that Lin Dong could see through his physical condition at a glance and even knew the amount of black money behind him.
The next morning, Xue Jingqiu went to the Second People's Hospital of the province and had an ultrasound and blood test done by a friend.
The results shocked him; his gallbladder did indeed have severe gallstones, accompanied by inflammation and local infection. Had he arrived a few days later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He had no more doubts about Lin Dong's abilities.
That afternoon, under his arrangement, Niu Defa brought one million yuan in cash to Jingyuan Tea Shop and bought two cases of Dancong aged tea.
The next morning, Niu Defa was able to enter the Xintang Detention Center without any problems. In a private meeting room, he met Lin Dong, who had shaved his head.
When the two met, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Niu, have you done all the things I asked you to do?"
Lin Dong took a cigarette from Niu Defa, lit it, and took a deep drag.
"Everything has been done. The equipment that the military genius bought is complete. We haven't found the Hong Kong assassin; he's probably no longer in Nandu."
As Niu Defa spoke, he took out three packs of Nanyang Double Happiness cigarettes from his pocket and pushed them towards Lin Dong:
"Fengzi monitored Zhuang Tongfang for several days and discovered that he went to Yunying Building once."
That evening, he drove back to the Zhuang family's ancestral home near Qishi, carrying a leather suitcase. Fengzi suspected that the suitcase contained embezzled funds.
Lin Dong nodded:
"That's right. How could that old fox Lu Jingye not have top-notch henchmen? By the way, has there been any response from the Ling family?"
“I was just about to tell you. Ling Xiaoxiao called last night. She knows your current situation. The Ling family is currently dealing with the Yangjiaji land project in Wuhan and can’t be there for you.”
Niu Defa reported:
"But she's already asked her father to pull some strings, so there will be results soon. Also, Ling Xiaoxiao found out something:"
Zhuang Tongfang's daughter, Zhuang Wanting, happens to be pursuing a master's degree in economics at Hanzhong University in Wuhan, and she's been preparing for her exams for the past two days..."
"Oh? Zhuang Tongfang has a daughter?"
Lin Dong frowned, pondered for a moment, and calmly said:
"Old Niu, time is of the essence. To break this deadlock, there are a few things that must be done in the next two days. Remember them:"
