Chapter 46: Capture
Situ: "How dare you ask me for money? Look at what you have been doing these days. It's all idle work."
Jun Lan: "You think that everything you and I did was above board, but it was all just some sneaky stuff. Besides, the plan has already progressed to this point, wouldn't it be a pity to give up now? Lu Yang has been forced into a desperate situation by my tricks, and next he will definitely ask the mastermind behind the murder for money. Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop, and with the evidence we have, won't we be able to convict them all?"
Situ: "Can you please stop being so naive? The evidence you obtained was obtained illegally. Neither the police nor the court will accept it."
Jun Lan: "I don't care. You have to give me some more money so I can buy a better eavesdropping device."
Situ: "You... I really can't do anything with you. You're even more difficult to deal with than a shrew. Why can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Jun Lan: "Give it to me or not? If you don't, I'll go complain to Nangong."
Situ had no choice but to take out a few red Mao Zedong notes from his wallet and give them to Junlan.
"Sister, spend sparingly, I really don't have much money left."
"Yes, my Lord Grandet."
After receiving the money, Junlan immediately went to the electronics store.
She went to an accessories store and asked, "Brother, do you have any monitoring devices?"
The owner is a greasy middle-aged man in his thirties with a premature bald head. You can tell at a glance that he is someone who can be easily bribed with money.
Shop owner: "Are you from the Public Security and Procuratorate?"
Jun Lan: "If I say it's not, will you not buy it for me?"
The shop owner gave her a look and said, "Then tell me why you bought that thing? We can't do anything illegal, but on the fringes, there's still some friendship to be had."
Jun Lan teared up and said, "It's all because of my damn husband. I've only been married to him for a few days, and I actually caught him cheating on me. I'm not willing to divorce him like this. I'm going to sue him in court, and I'm going to sue him to death. Even if he only has one pair of underwear left, I'm going to tear half of it off. I won't let this adulterous couple get away with it. I don't have money to hire a private detective to find evidence, so I can only buy some tools and tinker with them myself like in the TV shows to see if I can do it."
"So do you want domestic or imported?"
“What’s the difference between the two?”
"In theory, there's no difference. They're both just for monitoring, but many people still choose imported ones."
"How much is the domestic production and how much is the imported production?"
"One hundred for domestic products and one thousand for imported products."
"Wow, why is there such a big difference?"
"How should I know? I know that no matter how expensive or cheap, there will be people who buy it. It's up to each person to choose. You want that?"
Jun Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Give me an expensive one."
The owner threw a small object that looked like a battery to Junlan.
"If you don't understand how to operate it, please read the instructions. If you don't understand, come and ask me."
Junlan happily took the thing and returned to her 610 office.
She had been eavesdropping on Lu Yang's cell phone calls for a whole day, but still hadn't caught any valuable clues. All he heard were a few calls from Jian Zhong regarding couriers or takeouts. It seemed that Lu Yang was very shrewd and calm.
Jun Lan had long lost her patience. Fortunately, he probably didn't have a girlfriend, otherwise she would have overheard the flirting similar to what happened between her and Fan Xi, which would have really made her feel like a pervert.
She was so angry that she yelled, "Your grandma, if you don't call your financial sponsor, are you waiting for the loan shark to kill you? Then you won't even have to eat shit, so why would you eat takeout?"
There was a knock on the door.
Jun Lan was so scared that she almost dropped the instrument in her hand.
She quickly put all the relevant things into the drawer and locked it.
“Who…who…ah!”
"I'm your supervisor Xu Takuhai."
Junlan got up and opened the door for him.
Xu Tuohai: "What have you done wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Jun Lan: "No, absolutely not. You know, Boss, usually there aren't many people coming and going on the sixth floor. I'm usually the only one left in such a big house. As a woman, I don't have much to work for, so sometimes I can't help but feel scared."
Xu Tuohai: "Don't talk about other things. I just heard you cursing loudly at the door, saying things like "I'll chop you to death and eat shit." When you told the truth, were you cursing me?
"No, absolutely not. Sometimes when you're scared, swearing is really the best way to vent. If you don't believe me, you can try it next time."
Seeing Xu Tuohai's half-believing and half-doubting eyes, Jun Lan could only use her trump card of acting coquettishly to deal with him.
"Boss, everyone is busy, just tell me the purpose of your visit!"
Xu Tuohai: "Because of you, I almost forgot something important. The company is holding the annual meeting and the New Year's Eve party together. Ever since the last press conference was released, those people in the PR department are practically bowing down to you. They asked me to lobby you to help them."
"Haha, if they want me to help them organize the party, fine. Then when it's time to get their paychecks, ask them if they're happy about that. Do they all think I'm free? When the boss isn't around, they make fun of others."
"Then I'll refuse them for you."
"Yes, and I must reject them harshly. I want them to give up on that idea and stop harboring any hope in me."
"Yeah, okay, I understand."
After Xu Tuohai left, Jun Lan secretly put on her headphones again and listened attentively.
Hard work pays off. After a long wait, Jun Lan finally heard the familiar voice she had been waiting for for so long.
"Hey, let's meet outside! I asked you to do something, but it's still not done."
"That's perfect. I just happened to have something to talk to you about. Let's meet at the old place at 8 o'clock tonight."
If she remembered correctly, the voice should be Ke Chenzhi's.
It would be perfect to discuss things at the old place, and the eavesdropping device would come in handy.
She quickly called Lu Yang on her cell phone: "Where are you now?"
"Where I am now is none of your business," Lu Yang was confused by the question.
"I have something to ask you. I want to see you."
"If you have anything to say, just talk on the phone. No need to meet in person."
"Oh, let's just meet once! Just once will be fine."
"You're totally crazy. Didn't I tell you that we're not compatible? If we meet, I'll definitely lose money and have bad luck. You better stay as far away from me as possible."
Lu Yang hung up the phone without forgetting to curse: "Damn it, if I can't afford to offend her, can't I just hide away? I still have to do serious work tonight! What if I really run into that crazy woman and she messes it up?"
Junlan was worried as she looked at the newly bought monitoring device.
"He was so scared of himself that he didn't dare to see me. How could I put this thing on him?" Jun Lan buried her head deeply in her chest.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She raised her head sharply and shouted, "I got it."
Then she immediately called Yang Ning.
"Hello, I'm Lin Junlan. Can I ask you to do me a favor?"
