Chapter 127: The Room Was Bugged

It turned out to be the blocker Xiao Long gave me.

I've always carried it with me.

If it detects a place with a radio-frequency eavesdropping device, its red light will light up and it will vibrate slightly.

Could there be an eavesdropping device in our bedroom?

I hurriedly called out to Shi Yong: 'Shi Yong, come in quickly, there's something.'

Shi Yong pushed the door open and entered,

'Brother, what's up?'

'There's an eavesdropping device in this room, look, the blocker's red light is on.' I took out the blocker and showed it to Shi Yong.

Shi Yong, upon seeing it,

then took the blocker,

began searching around the bedside table,

Soon, at the bottom of the bed, Shi Yong found something black like a button.

'Brother, look, there really is an eavesdropping device.' Shi Yong said, then

He stomped on it with one foot, crushing it.

'Good heavens, our bedroom has an eavesdropping device—when did they install it?' I muttered, looking at the device on the floor.

'It's covered in dust, looks like it's been there a long time. Look at the dirt on my hand.' Shi Yong raised his hand to show me.

Indeed, Shi Yong's index and middle fingers really had dust on them.

I suddenly understood: they had been plotting for a long time, and they knew everything about my and Zhou Wei's conversations in the bedroom.

They had already heard my plans about the future of Da Heng Group.

That is, eventually it would be handed over to Ru Meng.

They certainly wouldn't be willing, so they caused my car to have an accident.

I suddenly understood a lot.

I stared blankly at the eavesdropping device,

I swore angrily: 'Damn it, who installed this eavesdropping device?'

Shi Yong asked me: 'Who usually enters your and your sister-in-law's bedroom?'

I took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

Normally, no one else can enter my and Zhou Wei's bedroom.

Only one person can enter: she who usually cleans our bedroom, that is He Jie.

The most likely person is He Jie.

I told Shi Yong: 'Besides me and Zhou Wei, the only one who enters the bedroom is He Jie; she's responsible for cleaning it.'

'Brother, stay here, I'll go call He Jie and question her face to face,' Shi Yong said.

I nodded.

Shi Yong then walked out.

Not long after, he came back from outside,

and told me: 'Brother, that He Jie ran away.'

'What, she ran away? She was just in the living room a moment ago. Look again,' I said.

'No need to look, the gardener just said,'

'He Jie made a phone call, and a black car came to pick her up.' Shi Yong said.

'I was saying, from the moment I entered the bedroom, He Jie's eyes followed me; no need to ask, this eavesdropping device was installed by He Jie.'

'If we find He Jie, we'll know who had her install the device.' I said.

'I think the same, brother. Wait here, I'll drive out to chase, I'm confident my skills will let me catch the black car.' Shi Yong said.

'Shi Yong, you can't go chase; if you go, what will I do? I'm in danger alone here.' I said.

Now I trust only Shi Yong; I don't trust anyone else. My leg is injured, and one person could easily take me down.

I feel this danger is too close to me.

If He Jie could install an eavesdropping device, what about the gardener, the cleaner, the cook? Who are these people, and whether they've changed, nobody knows.

'Sigh! Why hasn't Li Ming come yet? If Li Ming came, I could go chase He Jie. Brother, do you know where He Jie's family lives?' Shi Yong asked.

'This He Jie is He Ping's sister; she used to live in Lanling County, her husband died, and her daughter married long ago. Zhou Wei felt sorry for her and let her come help.'

'She's usually quiet and diligent; I thought she was kind. I never imagined she'd install an eavesdropping device.' I said.

'You can't judge by appearances. Forget it, let's quickly pack up and leave. I'll go to He Jie's daughter's house to find her.' Shi Yong said.

'We probably won't be able to find her.' I worried.

'Are they trying to silence us?' Shi Yong said.

'Some things are hard to say; Shi Yong and them are more ruthless than we imagined. For example, they had Nurse Lin install an eavesdropping device on my desk, and if she refused, they'd cause trouble for her parents.' I said.

'Brother, now that you mention it, I wonder if this was Sun Dajun's doing—he had He Jie install it. I'm going back to the company to break his leg.' Shi Yong roared.

Shi Yong is too impulsive.

I immediately stopped Shi Yong,

'Shi Yong, this is just speculation. We must see He Jie and question her to know for sure who installed it. It seems they've long been plotting against me, even installing an eavesdropping device in the bedroom.'

It's totally fucked up.

All this, openly and secretly, is just about seizing Da Heng Group.

'Shi Yong, we're in a weak position now; we must not act rashly.' I had just finished speaking,

Li Ming entered from outside,

"Brother, have you finished packing?" Li Ming said.

"Li Ming, why did you come so late? If you had come earlier, I would have gone out to chase that He Jie." Shi Yong shouted.

"Why chase He Jie?" Li Ming asked.

"Li Ming, they installed an eavesdropping device in my bedroom. Shi Yong and I suspect it was the maid He Jie who installed it, since only she can enter my bedroom." I said to Li Ming, pointing at the eavesdropping device on the floor.

"Another eavesdropping device installed." After saying that, Li Ming crouched on the floor, picked up the eavesdropping device that Shi Yong had just stepped on and broke, and began to examine it.

After a moment, he said: "This eavesdropping device is the same as the one in your office. It seems the same group did this."

Shi Yong said: "It's that brat Sun Dajun who did this. I'm going back to the company to confront Sun Dajun. Just watch me skin him."

Li Ming said: "Shi Yong, what makes you suspect Sun Dajun? Besides, with Niu Ju's protection, what can you do to Sun Dajun."

"How did that He Jie get away?"

Shi Yong said: "A black car picked her up. If you had come earlier, I could have gone after her; as long as we catch He Jie, the truth will become clear."

"The black car—I encountered a black sedan on the mountain road, driving extremely fast, and I almost collided with it. This black car had a Southern license plate. I was wondering why a Southern car would come to our Zaocheng." Li Ming said.

"Are you sure this car doesn't have a Zaocheng license plate?" I asked.

Li Ming nodded,

"Brother, there's no mistake—it's from Guangdong. The license plate doesn't matter, because they can change fake plates anytime." Li Ming said.

"The Southern Group is from Guangdong; do they have any connections?" I said, taking a puff of a cigarette.

"I don't know; there's too much we can't figure out right now. Brother, let's just tidy up this place quickly and leave." Li Ming said.

I could only nod.

Li Ming and Shi Yong simply packed up, some of Zhou Wei's belongings, and a few pieces of Ru Meng's clothing.

I tested each item with a jammer, afraid that there might be another eavesdropping device hidden inside, which would be a big trouble.

After we packed these items, we put them in Shi Yong's business car,

and had Shi Yong bring them all to Li Ming's home.

I rode in Li Ming's car and left,

As we were about to leave, I glanced at the villa where I had lived for several years,

and I still felt reluctant to part with it in my heart.

"Goodbye, my home!" I murmured in my heart.
