The girl with Takeuchi Shun was really there, but it was Ran's mom who answered the phone.
"Auntie! Is Xiaolan home?"
I'm so anxious! If they find out I didn't go back, they might be wary of me, and I won't be able to conduct a secret investigation.
"Xiao Lan went to play with the villagers, and you are..."
The phone was on speakerphone, and I could hear everything the other person was saying clearly.
"I'm Xiaolan. Auntie! I just wanted to ask, has that handsome Engineer Zheng from the research institute gone back yet?"
Alright! Xiaolan's house is in the village. If she pays a little attention, she'll find out I didn't go back.
Xiao Lan's mother was silent for a moment, then said:
"I really don't know that. The research institute has been working overtime these past two days, and no one has gone back to the village."
Phew! I breathed a sigh of relief. At least Xiaolan's mom is quite good at talking.
Xiao Lan should have been transferred here by now, right? Thank goodness Xiao Lan's mother didn't say anything wrong.
After hanging up the phone, Takeuchi Shun seemed to be talking to himself:
Did they go back or not?
"Honey, who is this Engineer Zheng you're talking about?"
"He's a very handsome young man," Takeuchi Shun said through gritted teeth.
I quickly took out my phone and called the director, telling him that no matter who asked me if I had returned, I should say that I had returned, but that I was working on a research project and was staying at the base.
The director knew I must have something on my mind, so he didn't ask too many questions.
I don't think this is Takeuchi Shun's home, and that woman probably doesn't know anything about him.
Otherwise, he would tell her that Xiaolan had been arrested.
Living here would make it inconvenient to contact those spies.
His home must be somewhere else.
I can't keep waiting here and suffering like this.
All we need to do is let the auxiliary brain remember his activity patterns.
I went to a bathhouse to take a shower first, and then went back to the car, where I made do for the night.
There's no way around it; you need an ID card to stay here, and if there's a general check, I'll be exposed.
It would be bad if I knew I was a spy, and it would also be bad if the investigation team found out.
Anyway, I need to rent a place tomorrow.
Nothing much happened between the man in sunglasses and Takeuchi Shun that night.
The next day, after breakfast, I went to rent a room.
Located near the suburbs, this is where there are parking spaces at the entrance of the shantytown.
Around 10 a.m., I finished cleaning up my rented apartment, and Takeuchi Shun started working on his as well.
"Women's club?"
Let's talk about someone in their fifties or sixties. What would they be doing going to a women's club?
It looks quite suspicious.
I drove over there.
There are quite a few programs here, such as fitness, swimming, and beauty and body treatments.
Although it's called a women's club, many people actually come with men.
How frustrating! I bet Takeuchi Shun brought his mistress here.
I was just about to leave when a woman came up to my car.
She knocked on my car window.
I rolled down the car window: "What's up?"
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a tank top and a long skirt, with a piercing in her nose and chewing gum.
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Seriously? Someone actually hits on me, a guy who drives a beat-up Sea Lion van?
Yes! What's wrong?
"How about we change it?"
He's such a chatterbox: "No way!"
"Then how about more?"
"What exactly do you want?"
The woman with the nose ring opened her bag and took out a wad of cash.
"Two thousand a day, that's for going shopping, eating out, and clubbing with me. As for whether we sleep together, that depends on your performance."
ill!
"Find someone else! I'm busy."
I was about to raise the window when she grabbed the glass:
"You're here to catch someone cheating, right? I can take you in. My stepfather has a girlfriend who's about my age, and she comes eight times a week."
Oh! She knows her stepfather cheated on her and still goes after him. Isn't she just asking for trouble?
I've figured it out; she's a troubled young woman with a bit of money.
"Miss! I'm not here to catch someone cheating; I'm waiting for someone. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave!"
"If you really insist on having sex with me, fine, but when my stepfather comes out, you can help me smash a bottle on him."
"If you want to smash it, go smash it yourself."
After I finished speaking, the glass was raised.
Just then, Takeuchi Shun and his lover came out.
That troublesome girl from earlier, wow, she just grabbed two bottles and went upstairs.
Without saying a word, he picked up the bottle and threw it away.
When Takeuchi Shun's girlfriend yelled "Ah!", Takeuchi Shun's first reaction was not to shield his girlfriend from the bottle, but to run away.
The first bottle missed, but the second one knocked Takeuchi Shun's girlfriend to the ground.
I was still marveling at how fierce this troublesome girl was! She ran back and got straight into my car.
What are you doing?
"Drive!" A large wad of bills was thrown over.
Takeuchi Shun's daughter, whether she's related by blood or not, must know him very well.
I started the engine and sped off with a throttle.
"Ha...that was so exciting! Wasn't I amazing?"
"Awesome my ass! Aren't you afraid the police will arrest you for doing that?"
"Go ahead and arrest me? My mom will bail me out anyway. Besides, Takeuchi Shun won't dare to sue me; he'll have to appease his vixen who got beaten up."
Their relationship seems a bit complicated.
"No, your mother knows your stepfather is having an affair, yet she still stays with him? Is your mother only after his money?"
"Bullshit! My mom is richer than him."
That makes me even more puzzled.
"What's your mom after?"
"How would I know? If I hadn't forced her to divorce that little notebook, I wouldn't have bothered coming here to smash them up!"
faint!
He was old, short, and sleazy; he had no money, no power, and no physical strength.
He's not even serious. What's the point of having a man like that?
