Chapter 2754

Jin Dun Security Headquarters!

After the detention of the famous Five Golden Flowers of Jiangzhou ended, Yao Jun arranged for them to be placed at Jin Dun Security Headquarters, assigning them cleaning work. All five were loners with no family or ties.

Not only did they receive a twenty-thousand-yuan benefit fee, but now they were also given jobs, earning over three hundred yuan per month, with food and lodging provided. Moreover, they could see handsome men every day, teasing them a couple of sentences when idle—it could be said their days were very comfortable.

After receiving Xing Wenbin's call, Yao Jun immediately drove to Jin Dun Security Headquarters, then summoned the Five Golden Flowers, who had just finished work and were about to go eat, to the office.

"Yao Zong, what do you need us for?" One of the Golden Flowers threw a flirtatious glance at Yao Jun: "No matter what you need us to do, even if you let us five sisters serve you together, there's no problem."

Yao Jun pretended not to see and said solemnly: "Wei Jie, I already told you before—the few people you bit into have significant backgrounds, and now their families have sent people, who are currently looking for you.

If you get caught, the consequences will be very serious. By then, it won't be as simple as a few days of detention; at the very least, you'll have to serve several years inside. So, starting now, you cannot step outside the headquarters gate.

Upon hearing this, the five became nervous. Wei Jie glanced nervously at the office door: "Yao Zong, they won't come looking for us here, will they?"

Yao Jun laughed: "Jiangzhou is our territory. As long as you stay honestly in the headquarters, they will never find you. If you have anything that must be done, notify me, and I'll arrange for someone to help you handle it."

"We sisters are all loners—one person eating full means the whole family isn't hungry. What urgent matters could we have?" Wei Jie's expression also turned solemn: "Yao Zong, rest assured, without your word, we will not step out of the gate even half a step."

"You know the priorities." Yao Jun waved his hand: "Go eat your meal."

Wei Jie hesitated and said: "Yao Zong, could you get us a set of mahjong? When we're free, we sisters can play a few rounds."

Yao Jun laughed: "Sure, I'll have someone bring it over later."

"Thank you, Yao Zong!" The renowned Five Golden Flowers turned and left.

Yao Jun picked up the cigarette on his desk, lit it, pondered for a moment, then grabbed the phone on his desk and dialed a number. Soon the call connected, and Xing Wenbin's voice came through the receiver.

"Hello, this is the Criminal Police Brigade. May I ask who is speaking?"

"I am Yao Jun!" Yao Jun said: "How many people have come from Jingcheng, and do you have their files there?"

"Yes!" Xing Wenbin asked: "What do you want to do?"

Yao Jun said in a deep voice: "They have arrived in Jiangzhou. Have your people watch them. If they are discovered and the other side catches them, it will also be trouble. So, let my people watch them instead—this would be safer."

Xing Wenbin thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll immediately have someone send the files to you."

Yao Jun said: "I am at Jin Dun Security Headquarters. Just have someone come directly to find me."

Less than half an hour later, a youth in plain clothes knocked on Yao Jun's office door. After entering, he placed the file bag he was holding on the desk: "Yao Zong, this is the file you requested."

Yao Jun opened it and saw a woman's photo, with the three characters Yin Meihong written above. Below were the records, detailing Yin Meihong's identity information and workplace.

Yao Jun's eyelids twitched. After taking a deep breath, he continued to look at the other files. One middle-aged man caught his attention. This man was named Qiao Guangyu, a retired soldier serving as the head of the security department at an import-export company in Shencheng.

Yao Jun pointed his finger at Qiao Guangyu's photo: "This person's information is very little—haven't you investigated it?"

The youth nodded: "Too little time—we could only investigate this much."

Yao Jun fell silent for a moment, then shouted toward the outside: "Hu Qiang!"

"Here!" The office door was pushed open, and a tall, sturdy man entered: "Yao Zong!"

Yao Jun handed the file in his hand to Hu Qiang: "Take a look."

Hu Qiang took it. Besides Yin Meihong's file, which he merely glanced at briefly, when he saw Qiao Guangyu's photo, his brows furrowed: "His file is not extensive, but I can feel this guy is not easy to deal with."

Yao Jun said: "Find a few brothers to watch their every move in Jiangzhou—any problem?"

"Just watching them—this is definitely no problem." Hu Qiang laughed: "Even if they are discovered, so what? Jiangzhou is not their turf. The main road is so wide—if they can walk, we can too."

"That makes perfect sense!" Yao Jun also laughed: "Find a few brothers to go and hand over with this comrade from the Criminal Police Brigade."

"Yes!" Hu Qiang responded.

The youth said politely: "Yao Zong, then I'll be leaving."

"Go ahead!" Yao Jun nodded.

Yin Meihong Hotel!

Yin Meihong crossed her arms over her chest, stood motionless by the second-floor window of the hotel, gazing at the scenery outside: "This is my second time coming to Jiangzhou. The first time was over ten years ago, when I followed my superiors to inspect the Jiangzhou electronics factory.

At that time, Jiangzhou was in its most prosperous and glorious peak period—whether heavy industry or light industry, it was advancing side by side. Talents from all over the country flocked in, a scene of flourishing prosperity. Elites from all corners of the land surged into this vibrant, energetic city like a tide, jointly witnessing and participating in its rapid rise and swift development.

But who could have imagined that in just over ten short years, Jiangzhou, which had created numerous miracles since the founding of New China and was hailed as the cradle of industry, would now have entered its twilight years and collapsed with a bang.

Qiao Guangyu walked over holding a cup of plain water, stood silently beside Yin Meihong, and said softly: "Time flies, years pass like shuttles, the wheels of history roll forward relentlessly. And the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of a city, often resemble life itself—unpredictable and ever-changing..."

Yin Meihong fell into silence again. After a while, she said: "When will our people arrive?"

"They'll arrive tomorrow night!" Qiao Guangyu took a sip of water, his expression somewhat solemn: "Jiangzhou has already become an iron plate. Officially, there is the party secretary and mayor; privately, there is Zhou Andong of the Yu Gong Consortium. It's impregnable, impenetrable. Wanting to find those five women? Not easy."

"We must find them even if we can't!" Yin Meihong's expression turned somewhat ferocious: "Yin Mo is the eldest grandson of the Yin family. Even if he is useless, he cannot be ruined here. And finding those five women is our only breakthrough."

Qiao Guangyu was about to speak when he suddenly saw two people standing under a locust tree across the road. One of them, a big, silly-looking fellow, bared his teeth at him and raised his hand in a greeting.

Qiao Guangyu's body stiffened, and he said in a somewhat harsh tone: "Perhaps we were watched as soon as we entered Jiangzhou."
