Chapter 1289: Let's Use a Counter-Strategy!

Shen Mingcheng sat in his office, reviewing the events of yesterday...

He Yu should know what happened at that time...

Consequently, he summoned He Yu.

"Mr. Shen, you were looking for me?"

Shen Mingcheng nodded slightly, "Was it you who took my sister to Runzhou last night?"

He Yu did not hide it, "Yes, Sister Han was worried that Secretary He had drunk too much, so she asked me to take her. I didn't expect such an awkward scene to occur."

A serious look appeared in Shen Mingcheng's eyes, "You must keep this matter buried in your stomach."

He Yu found it secretly amusing; he had already told Wan Ming...

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, I am a person with a tight mouth. I know what can be said and what cannot!"

Shen Mingcheng walked to He Yu's side and patted his shoulder, "Every family has its own difficult problems. You haven't started a family yet, so you can't understand many things. By the way, help me investigate a person named Wu Lie."

He Yu said, "Sister Han already instructed me yesterday, and I have already investigated. Wu Lie has a correspondence education degree and previously worked as a waitress at a restaurant in Guangdong Province. She is a distant relative of Wang Chunyu and was recommended to Secretary He by Wang Chunyu."

A cold look appeared in Shen Mingcheng's eyes; he mused that this Wang Chunyu was truly a scoundrel, actually using a honey trap to curry favor with He Haiyang.

"Got it!" Shen Mingcheng stood up, "Drive and take me to Zhongshan Villa."

"Alright!" He Yu hurriedly left the office.

After Shen Mingcheng went downstairs, He Yu waited at the entrance of the building in the car.

Shen Mingcheng was still quite satisfied with He Yu.

Not only was He Yu very skilled in martial arts and able to provide him with a sense of security, but he was also very sharp and observant in his work.

His sister often praised He Yu in front of Shen Mingcheng.

He Yu parked the car in the garage.

Shen Mingcheng told He Yu to leave.

He Yu drove the car out of the villa area.

Subsequently,

he snuck back...

A black sedan arrived, and a man and a woman stepped out of the car; both were around fifty or sixty years old, and judging by their appearance, they looked like farmers from the countryside.

Shen Mingcheng sat in the living room and let the two sit down.

"Ge Shu, Aunt Lan, please sit."

The two sat down.

Ge Shu had a simple and honest smile on his face, "Mr. Shen, I didn't expect the house you live in to be so big."

Aunt Lan tugged at the corner of Ge Shu's clothes and said fawningly to Shen Mingcheng, "My husband is ignorant, please don't laugh at him."

Shen Mingcheng waved his hand, took out a document, and handed it to Aunt Lan, "This is the matter I am asking you to handle. There is 500,000 on the table as a deposit. After the matter is accomplished, I will give you two million."

Aunt Lan took the document, looked at the contents, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, leave this matter to me. I won't dare to say anything else, but for this matter you've entrusted, I am absolutely certain! Wait for my good news!"

Hidden in the shadows, He Yu saw the two come out very quickly.

The man was carrying a briefcase in his hand, and the woman's face was full of smiles.

He Yu mused to himself that this person, Shen Mingcheng, had severe paranoid delusions, even though he had saved him and was hired by him as an assistant.

But in reality, Shen Mingcheng had always been on guard against him.

For many matters involving illegal activities, he would send him away.

He Yu had been lurking by Shen Mingcheng's side for several months, but Shen Mingcheng had not revealed any flaws.

This made his infiltration plan quite agonizing.

He left the villa, returned to the car, and dialed Wan Ming's phone number.

"Bureau Chief Wan, there is a situation that I find very suspicious and need to report to you."

"Speak," Wan Ming said in a deep voice.

"Today, a man and a woman were summoned to the villa by Shen Mingcheng. These two reached some kind of deal with Shen Mingcheng. This man and woman look very sinister. I suspect it has to do with targeting County Magistrate Tang!"

Wan Ming said in a deep voice, "Tell me the characteristics of that man and woman."

He Yu said, "The man is about 1.7 meters tall, has short hair, single eyelids, a square face, and obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes;

The woman is about 1.6 meters tall, has a round face, triangular eyes, relatively thick lips, and is wearing a dark-colored coat..."

Wan Ming quickly wrote down the information provided by He Yu in his notebook, "If there is any other news, tell me in time."

The square-faced man and the triangular-eyed woman arrived at an abandoned factory in Hanzhou.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a thin young woman walked in.

Aunt Lan took out the money prepared in advance and handed it to the woman, "Here is a 20,000 deposit. After you get the matter done, I will pay you the remaining 180,000, for a total of 200,000."

The young woman seemed to be struggling internally, "Don't lie to me. If you don't keep your word, I will call the police."

Aunt Lan frowned and said, "I have been in this business for so many years and have never had any problems. We exchange money and goods on the spot; it will absolutely not delay things."

The young woman took a deep breath, "Alright, I believe you."

After the young woman left,

Ge Shu said, "You only gave her 200,000; isn't that a bit too heartless?"

Aunt Lan curled her lips, "This price is already higher than the market rate. We cannot break the rules."

He Yu, hidden in the shadows, saw Ge Shu and Aunt Lan trading with the young woman.

He became increasingly curious about what kind of vicious plan Shen Mingcheng was secretly plotting.

He followed the young woman and arrived at a residential compound in Hanzhou.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and after the woman walked into the elevator,

He Yu noticed the floor was locked at the ninth floor, then he hurried downstairs and discovered that the lights in 903 had turned on.

He Yu dialed Wan Ming's phone number once again.

"Bureau Chief Wan, there is a new lead. That middle-aged man and woman had a private transaction with a young woman. This young woman lives in 903 of the Dongjiang Pavilion residential complex in Hanzhou."

Wan Ming nodded and said, "I understand."

With the young woman's address, Wan Ming quickly looked up the young woman's information.

He immediately smelled the scent of a Hidden Plot and hurriedly dialed Tang Ye's phone number.

"County Magistrate Tang, there is new intelligence..."

Tang Ye could tell that Wan Ming was somewhat nervous, "What intelligence!"

Wan Ming said, "Shen Mingcheng used an intermediary to bribe a Nurse in the hospital's obstetrics department?"

Tang Ye's gaze suddenly became grave.

This piece of news was crucial! Could it be that he wanted to do harm to Du Xi!

Wan Ming said, "Although I don't know exactly what he intends to do, we still need to pay close attention to it.

How about we arrest and interrogate this Nurse in advance? That way, we can nip the problem in the bud."

Tang Ye said, "Do not alert the enemy for now!"

After Shen Mingcheng was released from prison, he had been harassing Chen Lan.

Tang Ye had not expected him to be crazy enough to make a move against Du Xi.

Right now, there was no substantial evidence; if they were to rashly arrest that Nurse, not only would they fail to extract any useful information, but they would also alert the enemy, causing Shen Mingcheng to notice something unusual and thereby change his plans.

In that case, not only would they be unable to stop Shen Mingcheng's Hidden Plot, but they would instead make him even more vigilant.

It would then become even more difficult to catch him in the act later on.

The best countermeasure is to play along with his scheme!

The prerequisite for playing along with his scheme is the need to anticipate the opponent's moves.

Tang Ye gently rubbed his chin, his gaze deep as he considered the information currently in hand.

Based on all the clues currently mastered, he carefully calculated every possibility in his mind...
