After leaving the private room, Bai Qianmo took the elevator downstairs and left the Zunhuang Hotel.
I arrived at the roadside, flagged down a taxi, got in, and drove away.
At the same time, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Help me look up Wu Zouyang of Vantone Group."
"Wu Zouyang? Is that the infamous old lecher from Wantong?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.
"Hmm." It's even spread overseas; it seems this old man has a bad reputation.
They let Man Xueni go today, but she'll probably have a hard time tonight.
"That's a good-for-nothing spoiled brat who does whatever he wants with the family fortune his grandfather built up. Why are you investigating him?"
"I don't like him," Bai Qianmo said calmly.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a low laugh from a man.
"That old lecherous man is reaching out his evil hand to you?"
Bai Qianmo remained silent, while a cold snort came from the other end: "You're really courting death. You wait, I'll get back to you in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Qianmo called Luo Cheng again to inquire about the case of the fire at the Chengbei Cemetery.
“The cemetery keeper has been investigated. There are no suspicious points in his past. He wandered here alone and was taken in by his godson Liu Fuyong’s father, and then settled in the village. The cemetery just happened to be short of a cemetery keeper, so the villagers introduced him to work here.”
"Where is the gravedigger's godson?"
"Based on the evidence we have on the surface, the tomb keeper's son has no connection with Zhao Guofeng. He has been working in the south and only comes back two or three times a year. But there is one thing I find quite interesting."
"you say."
"Liu Fuyong fell seriously ill last year with late-stage lung cancer. After returning to his hometown for treatment, his condition worsened, and the hospital even issued a critical condition notice. However, a few days later, he suddenly became energetic, and all his physical indicators returned to normal. The cancer cells shrank significantly, and he was discharged from the hospital a month later."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Qianmo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Late-stage cancer suddenly cured?
No wonder Liu Fuyong looked so thin and gaunt in the photos, with sunken eyes, that he appeared to be terminally ill.
Perhaps that group photo was taken during the time when Liu Yongfu was ill.
That's interesting.
“Keep an eye on Liu Fuyong; he’s very suspicious.”
Luo Cheng said, "The tomb keeper has been buried and the funeral arrangements have been made. Liu Fuyong should be heading south to work in a few days."
Bai Qianmo remained silent for a long time: "Have you checked the situation of his workplace?"
Luo Cheng paused for a moment. In fact, he had always felt that Liu Fuyong, a simple farmer from the countryside, did not seem like a bad person, so he only investigated his situation in the capital.
Seeing that Luo Cheng remained silent for a long time, Bai Qianmo understood.
"It's crucial to have someone secretly investigate where he works."
"good!"
Just then, Man Xueni called.
"I'm hanging up now!"
After hanging up with Luo Cheng, Bai Qianmo did not answer Man Xueni's call immediately; the phone rang for a while before she hung up.
Then, just three seconds later, the phone rang again.
Even after the third phone call came in, the driver couldn't help but glance at Bai Qianmo through the rearview mirror.
She then slowly and deliberately pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Sister Xue Ni."
"Bai Qianmo, what's wrong with you? Why did you take so long to go to the restroom? Is it appropriate to keep all the bosses waiting for you?"
Man Xueni wanted to curse in her heart. Why did Bai Qianmo, that bitch, have to go to the toilet at this crucial moment?
With Bai Qianmo not around, a group of old lecherous men are eyeing her covetously.
Sensing Man Xueni's suppressed anger, Bai Qianmo's lips curved into a smile.
"I'm so sorry, Sister Xue Ni, I suddenly have a terrible lower abdominal pain. I think I ate something bad. It will take a while for the pain to subside."
Man Xueni's face was terribly gloomy. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't come out in ten minutes, I'll go to the toilet and fish you out."
"Don't worry, Sister Xue Ni, I'll be there in a bit."
Man Xueni hung up the phone, took a deep breath, forced down her disgust, forced a smile, and pushed open the door to enter the private room.
"I'm so sorry, everyone, Qianmo isn't feeling well and may not be able to come and keep you company for a while."
Wu Zouyang said, "They've been gone for more than ten minutes. By now, most of the issues should have been resolved, right?"
With a smile on her face, Man Xueni reached out and gently patted Wu Zouyang's hand.
"It's understandable that the young lady is nervous when she meets so many important people for the first time. Besides, you all know about women's health issues; there are always a few uncomfortable days every month. Let's ignore her for now. I'd like to offer a toast to all the bosses as an apology."
"One glass isn't enough. There are so many of us here. Who are you going to apologize to with just one glass of wine?" One of the bosses chuckled lightly.
His narrowed eyes stared intently at Man Xueni's rounded breasts, making Man Xueni stiffen all over.
"Mr. Wu, she's a girl. It's not appropriate to make her drink like this."
Man Xueni cursed the other person in her heart, then turned her head and faced Wu Zouyang in a coquettish manner.
Wu Zouyang stroked Man Xueni's small hand: "You begged your brother, of course I can't let you drink so much wine. How about we compromise? In ancient times, people would punish themselves with three cups when apologizing to others, so you can drink three cups."
Man Xueni's lips twitched, and she cursed inwardly that the old man was a piece of trash. Everyone at the table with him today listened to him.
As long as Wu Zouyang is willing to speak up for him, he doesn't actually need to drink a single cup of wine.
The people around her cheered and poured three full glasses of wine, pushing them in front of Man Xueni.
