Xiao Weiguo opened the door and waved to Jiao Bai.
"Come into my room and talk."
The two sat down on the two sofas by the window, and Jiao Bai recounted the day's events to him.
After Xiao Weiguo left in the morning, Jiao Bai went to the Friendship Hotel alone.
He found a relatively secluded corner and kept staring at the hotel entrance.
Just as Xiao Weiguo had predicted, Xiao Feng arrived here in a taxi around mid-morning.
Jiao Bai watched him walk into the hotel without moving. Without an introduction, Jiao Bai couldn't get in.
It wasn't until almost lunchtime that Xiao Feng finally emerged from the hotel, looking quite pleased with himself, as if he had received some benefit.
Seeing Xiao Feng waiting for a taxi by the roadside, Jiao Bai quickly hailed a taxi on the other side of the road in advance.
After Xiao Feng got into another taxi, Jiao Bai told his driver to follow him quickly.
They walked quite a distance until they reached the entrance of a residential compound in the Xiqiao District, where the car Xiao Feng had called finally stopped. After getting out of the car, they entered the compound.
Jiao Bai quickly paid the fare, got out of the car, and followed.
There were about ten buildings in that residential compound. Xiao Feng walked into the entrance of the innermost building.
Jiao Bai and Xiao Feng had met before, but since it was broad daylight, he couldn't follow them up to see which floor Xiao Feng went to.
We had no choice but to resort to the old, cumbersome method and wait.
Let's wait until he comes out of the building and see what he's up to.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiao Feng to come out with a woman dressed in a strange way.
The two of them walked outside, whispering to each other about something.
The woman had a very sexy figure, with long, wavy hair, bright red lips, and large sunglasses that covered half of her face.
Her attire was very daring; the tight-fitting cheongsam accentuated her sexy figure. Jiao Bai noticed that she was also holding a long, rectangular brocade box in her arms, and he wondered what was inside.
They walked towards the outside of the residential area, and Jiao Bai, with his agility, followed along, using the obstacles on both sides.
To Jiao Bai's surprise, after Xiao Feng and the sexy and beautiful woman arrived at the entrance of the residential area, they parted ways and went in two different directions.
Jiao Bai was overwhelmed with other commitments, but after a moment's thought, he decided to continue following Xiao Feng.
However, because Jiao Bai failed to hail a taxi in time, he lost track of Xiao Feng.
Judging from the direction Xiao Feng left, Jiao Bai analyzed that Xiao Feng might return to the Friendship Hotel again. If he were going somewhere nearby, he wouldn't take a taxi, since taxis aren't cheap.
This place is quite remote. After finally managing to hail a taxi, Jiao Bai told the driver to head straight to the Friendship Hotel.
Sure enough, when Jiao Bai arrived, Xiao Feng was walking out with three foreigners.
One of them was Alex, who had been scolded by Xiao Weiguo that day, and the other two were the bodyguards who had been taught a lesson by Jiao Bai.
Alex's two deputies did not come out. Together with Xiao Feng, the four of them got into a Santana parked in front of the hotel.
It seems to be that foreigner's car.
Jiao Bai didn't get out of the car; he had the driver follow the Santana.
Following them, Jiao Bai arrived at Daming Lake in the heart of the city.
The scenery here is beautiful, and the place is bustling with people.
Lotus flowers on all four sides, willows on three, spring in half the city, lake in the middle.
This world-famous couplet perfectly captures the captivating scenery of this ancient northern city.
Xiao Feng and his group drove to the south bank of the lake and stopped in front of a tea plantation.
This tea garden is called Tingshan Tea Garden. It is located next to Daming Lake, with a superior location and elegant environment.
The architectural style of the ancient tea plantation indicates that this tea garden also has a considerable history.
Large wooden windows open in all directions, making it a wonderful experience to sit inside, drink tea, and admire the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake.
Xiao Feng and his group went inside and entered a private room on the second floor.
While they were opening the door, the sharp-eyed Jiao Bai noticed that the woman who had been with the plaintiff and Xiao Feng was already sitting inside.
A cup of tea sat before her, which she was savoring with elegance.
Soon after Xiao Feng and the others went inside, the door to the private room was closed. Jiao Bai was then unable to see what was happening inside.
In a moment of desperation, Jiao Bai had a sudden inspiration.
He quickly went back outside, looked at the location of the private room, and found a large willow tree nearby.
Taking advantage of the fact that no pedestrians were paying attention to him, Jiao Bai leaped up and quickly climbed up the tree.
This is the season when the weeping willows are lush and verdant. A person hiding in such a large tree would be completely undetectable.
Jiao Bai was positioned not far from Xiao Feng's private room. From the tree, he could see through the window by parting the leaves. Every move they made was observed by Jiao Bai, but due to the noise of the street, he couldn't hear what the people inside were saying.
He saw that after Xiao Feng explained something to Alex, the woman took out the long, rectangular brocade box she had brought.
Alex opened the brocade box, took out a painting, and carefully admired it.
At such a distance, and with the wrong angle, the burnt white paint makes it impossible to see what's depicted in the painting.
All I could see was Alex looking completely infatuated, occasionally giving the woman a thumbs-up.
After Alex finished looking at the painting, the woman put it away.
Then, a scene that Jiao Bai could not bear to watch unfolded.
Alex almost ignored the people around him and came to the woman's side from the other side of the table.
