Chapter 384: Investigation Clarified

Ding Li laughed,

"Zhao Ge, really don't need that much money."

"It's necessary; just use it boldly. After all this time with me, I haven't even introduced you to a girl."

"We've got plenty of money; just handle it yourself, but don't expose your identity," I said with a smile.

"Carrying a million on your back to go on a date—doesn't that seem too showy?" Ding Li said.

"Haha, making you a clanging rich guy. That's how it should be; the clearer we know, the better for us."

"Alright, Zhao Ge, I'm off then." Ding Li slung a bag with a million on his back and left.

Luxury cars, huge sums, no woman stirs his heart. Ding Li looks decent, so I trust him.

If you can't even get a hotel waitress, then stop hanging out with me.

Ding Li returned the next morning.

Seeing his happy expression, he must have enjoyed the process.

"How's Ding Li?" He Zuming asked.

"Ah, the Sijiucheng girls are still generous. Not bad," Ding Li sighed.

"As long as you stay in Sijiucheng long enough, people become generous, because this is the Imperial Capital.

Men dream of establishing their own offices and businesses; women think of palace beauties. Can you imagine the women of our Zaocheng thinking the same?" He Zuming said.

"Ding Li, come sit. Whether it's a Sijiucheng girl or just an ordinary waitress, see how proud you are. Have you gathered all the information?" I asked.

"Different is different," Ding Li replied. "Zhao Ge, of course I've clarified all the information.

If I don't get the information, wouldn't this handsome man have offered himself in vain?"

"What's their situation?" I asked.

"Liu Shiru lives in the presidential suite 1899 on the 18th floor, not staying with Ruan Wei.

They came with over ten people. There's a bodyguard in the room. As for the specific situation inside, they couldn't make it clear," Ding Li said.

I nodded,

"Good. Keep seeing that female waitress; ideally, figure out roughly their activity schedule."

"Liu Shiru doesn't go out often; Ruan Wei goes out the most, each time bringing people along," Ding Li said.

"Ruan Wei goes out every day. So, Ding Li, after you returned to Zaocheng last time, what did Lao Wai say about the Mimo Xiang?"

"Lao Wai told me then that he could have his Mimo Xiang, but only if we take him out, and also give him money.

At that time Qi He Kuang had an incident, so I stopped entangling with Lao Wai and went to Qi He Kuang to meet Xiao Long and the others," Ding Li said.

"Ding Li, do this: make another effort, return to Zaocheng, find Lao Wai, and get his Mimo Xiang completely. You can give him more money, but don't let him participate."

"Alright, let's leave today."

"Leave today; when you reach Zaocheng, go straight to Lao Wai, avoid everyone else. Once you have the Mimo Xiang, hurry back to Sijiucheng," I instructed Ding Li.

"Alright, Zhao Ge, I'm leaving today. Hanging out with you is great; the feeling of spending big money is truly pleasant," Ding Li said happily.

"Haha, you know why—people all want to level up, want to be on top. Ding Li, you're at the bottom; money is money, but when you reach a new high level, money is just a number. Go. Don't fear spending; besides, Wen Han has a huge sum backing us," I said.

"Alright, Zhao Ge, I'm off."

Ding Li left.

I thought of a plan: since Liu Shiru has a bodyguard, it's hard to act, so I'll start with Ruan Wei.

That guy in Zaocheng already scared me to the point of wetting myself, so I'll keep brainstorming on him.

In the afternoon, Ding Li returned to Zaocheng,

He called me,

"Zhao Ge, I've already found Lao Wai.

He doesn't want to sell us the Mimo Xiang anymore; he has one condition: he wants to go with me, and if I refuse, he won't hand over the Mimo Xiang," Ding Li said on the phone.

"Let him say whatever, this Lao Wai really... You didn't mention giving him money," I said to Ding Li.

"I told him, even if we give him a million, he still won't hand it over. Zhao Ge, if it really doesn't work, I'll beat him up hard and force him to give up the Mimo Xiang."

"No need to beat him; if you beat him and he goes outside and starts rambling,

it will affect our plans. Damn, this Lao Wai—if it really doesn't work, bring him over. If we keep an eye on him, nothing will go wrong. So bring Lao Wai here, and do it quickly," I said, then hung up.

"He Zuming then asked me, 'Jianqiang, who is this Lao Wai?'"

I said, "He was my sworn brother back at Qi He Kuang, a cripple. He's been roaming outside, and he has something in his hand that's very useful to us.

So I had Ding Li go back to Zaocheng to ask him for it, but I didn't expect this guy would insist on coming with Ding Li to Sijiucheng, otherwise he wouldn't hand over the thing."

He Zuming asked, "What thing is that, so important."

I said, "Mimo Xiang, this thing is extremely useful; I've used it many times."

I said: "Bewildering fragrance, this thing is very useful, I have used it many times."

He Zuming, upon hearing that,

"Seems the masters are among the people; I didn't expect anyone to develop such a magical thing,"

I said, "Indeed, those who walk the dark path must use this, so that Lao Mao spread this thing widely. If a person has the ability to avoid the righteous way, it poses great social harm."

"Do you intend to use this thing against Liu Shiru?" He Zuming asked.

"Liu Shiru is hard to handle; Ding Li said she has a bodyguard. I plan to target someone beside her. There's a guy named Ruan Wei; I've met him in Zaocheng. I want to get that USB drive through him."

"Your methods, Jianqiang, are many. I tell you, once you came to Sijiucheng, everything was solved. Zhu Sheng is straightforward, not much scheming, likes to go hard; sigh, almost caused a big incident."

Still, Jianqiang, you have many ideas, I'll say, if you had come to Sijiucheng earlier, everything would have been settled. Zhu Sheng's nature is straightforward, he doesn't have too many schemes, likes to go head‑on, sigh, almost caused a big trouble.

"As the saying goes, the supreme general attacks strategy, then alliances, then troops,"

"Schemes are truly one of the ways to win."

Strategy is truly one of the real ways to win.

Those who skillfully use schemes gain the world.

"Mr. He, you flatter me; these are all shady conspiracies and dirty tricks, only brought out when there's no other way."

"Jianqiang, you wouldn't understand this; ancient emperors were also like that, in order to prolong their rule, they did even more shady deeds."

"As long as it succeeds, there's no need to worry about many things. Can what the Zhou Family does see the light of day?" He Zuming retorted.

"Damn it, their actions are even more despicable and shameless, the means they use are even more hateful. I almost died at their hands."

"My wife is still a vegetative state now." I cursed angrily.

I suddenly remembered something; Zhang Zong had told me before that the car accident that happened last May, Ruan Wei knew more about it.

This time, having caught Ruan Wei, I must thoroughly question him about the car accident.

I want to take this opportunity to solve this mystery. I secretly thought to myself.
