Chapter 876: It's Been Many Years Since I Did an Undercover Investigation!

The next morning, Tang Ye received a call from Xing Zhijun.

"After Pang Hu was arrested, he flatly denied the criminal facts, insisting that he was just an ordinary customer who became dissatisfied because he didn't get the service he wanted, which led to the dispute."

Asking for special services at a blind massage parlor.

Isn't this Pang Hu deliberately looking for trouble?

Tang Ye sighed: "This excuse is clearly pre-designed."

Xing Zhijun was a bit frustrated: "This Pang Hu has extensive connections; quite a few people have reached out to me to plead for him! Among them are even leaders from the city."

Tang Ye said in surprise: "I didn't expect this Pang Hu to have such a deep background."

"Pang Hu has a prior record of picking quarrels and provoking trouble; regardless of whether he talks or not, the charge of assaulting an officer is definitely unavoidable."

"What does he do for a living?" Tang Ye was curious about the man's profession.

"He used to drive a taxi, but now he doesn't drive himself; he has six taxis under his name, which he rents out to others to drive."

Taxis?

Tang Ye rubbed his chin, thoughtful: "Find the license plate numbers for those taxis."

Xing Zhijun realized Tang Ye had discovered something and asked: "Is there a problem with the taxis?"

Tang Ye said: "I don't know yet, but we should be able to find clues. Besides the license plate numbers, send me the information on the drivers who rent them."

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Xing Zhijun immediately dialed his subordinate's number and passed on the task.

About an hour later, the subordinate sent the information to Tang Ye's email.

After reading the information, Tang Ye picked up a map, made a few marks, and finally circled a key area.

At this moment, the door was knocked, and Ma Ran poked her head in to report: "Secretary Tang, Chen Zhi is here!"

Tang Ye nodded: "Please ask him to come in!"

A moment later, a man around forty years old walked in.

This man was not particularly tall, standing at about one meter seven, but he had broad shoulders and a thick chest, with clear, bright eyes that revealed a unique temperament.

Tang Ye stared at his temples for a moment—it is often said that when a martial arts expert reaches a certain level, their temples will bulge high.

However, from his appearance, one could not see any signs of being gifted.

Tang Ye guessed to himself that either Xing Zhijun was exaggerating, or Chen Zhi's martial arts had not reached a high level.

"Secretary Tang, hello!" Chen Zhi appeared somewhat reserved.

Tang Ye said with a smile: "Master Chen, please sit."

After Chen Zhi sat down, Tang Ye stood up to pour him a cup of tea: "Zhijun and I are colleagues and good friends. I heard you are his childhood friend and are in need of a job. Consider today an interview; if there are no issues, you can start working tomorrow."

Chen Zhi said gratefully: "Secretary Tang, thank you for arranging a job for me. I will definitely do my best! Do you have anything you want to ask?"

Tang Ye smiled: "Nothing to ask; you look quite reliable. So I can congratulate you now—you are hired. Just report to the motorcade tomorrow morning."

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Tang Ye to be so straightforward: "Alright, then thank you very much."

After getting off work, Tang Ye took out the map, followed it to the marked location, and waited there for a while.

Not long after, Xing Zhijun arrived to meet him.

Tang Ye said to Xing Zhijun in a low voice, "We are going to carry out a special mission."

"What mission?"

"Experience the taxi service! I think the taxis under Pang Hu's name aren't exactly legitimate!"

Tang Ye told Xing Zhijun his guesses and thoughts.

Xing Zhijun laughed, "Your identity makes it inconvenient for you to participate in this, so let me carry it out!"

Tang Ye laughed heartily, not standing on ceremony at all, and patted Xing Zhijun on the shoulder, "Fine, then I'll leave it to you."

A hint of excitement appeared in Xing Zhijun's eyes, "It's been many years since I did an undercover investigation; I'm quite excited!"

Worried that Xing Zhijun would be recognized, Tang Ye took out a wig and gave it to him, "Put this on."

Xing Zhijun took it in his hands to examine it, then put it on his head.

With a change of hairstyle, he looked different immediately.

Tang Ye laughed, "Don't say, you look quite handsome with the wig! At least ten years younger!"

Several taxis passed by one after another, but Xing Zhijun did not reach out.

Only when the target license plate appeared before his eyes did he reach out his hand.

The taxi stopped in front of him.

The driver rolled down the window and asked with a smile: "Big brother, where to?"

Xing Zhijun walked over and asked softly: "Master, just wandering around; do you have any fun places to recommend?"

The driver said: "Then you've asked the right person! Get in the car quickly!"

Xing Zhijun sat in the passenger seat.

The car started, and the driver took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xing Zhijun: "Are you a local?"

Xing Zhijun replied: "No, here on a business trip!"

The driver said with a smile: "Coming to our Dayu County, have you experienced the services here yet?"

Xing Zhijun deliberately played dumb: "I'm a stranger here, I don't know where there are any."

The driver said triumphantly: "I could tell at a glance that you're a man of passion. If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you to a place to relax; I guarantee you won't have come to Dayu County in vain."

Xing Zhijun feigned understanding of the driver's hint and said with a smile: "Master, don't lie to me! To be honest, someone introduced me to a place yesterday, but the consumption experience wasn't very good."

Xing Zhijun said with full confidence, "A truly fun place wouldn't be easy for just anyone to find! You've asked the right person!"

Xing Zhijun smiled, "Sure, but I have high standards; if it's too mediocre, I'm not interested in going."

The driver smiled and said, "Don't worry! I guarantee you'll be reluctant to leave."

About half an hour later, the driver dropped Xing Zhijun off in front of a building with an unremarkable exterior.

The driver made a phone call first, and soon a young man walked out of the building, nodding and bowing to Xing Zhijun, "Brother, please come with me."

Xing Zhijun followed the young man inside and was led to a dark room.

"Brother, someone will come to keep you company in a moment, please wait a little while."

Not long after, a woman wearing a long dress and heavy makeup walked in: "Brother, will I do?"

"Change to another one!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then left with resentment.

Xing Zhijun played the part to the hilt, deliberately rejecting seven or eight of them before choosing to leave.

Just as he walked out of the building.

At this moment, a taxi drove over from the right, and the driver took the initiative to greet him: "Need a ride?"

Xing Zhijun glanced at the license plate number; it was also a car under Pang Hu's name, so he sat in the passenger seat.

"Let's go!"

The driver started the car and asked with a probing smile, "How was the service there?"

Xing Zhijun remained calm and composed: "Average."

A mysterious expression appeared on the driver's face: "I can tell you have high standards for quality. How about this, I'll introduce you to a more high-end place, though the price is a bit more expensive."

Xing Zhijun played the part to the hilt, deliberately pretending to ponder for a moment: "Let's go!"

The driver smiled slightly: "Alright! Then hold on tight, we'll be there in five minutes."

Arriving at the second location, Xing Zhijun did the same as before.

He rejected a few, then walked out of the establishment.

Subsequently, as soon as he stepped out, he was targeted by a taxi.

It was the same routine as before.

Arriving at the third place, as soon as Xing Zhijun stepped through the door, his heart skipped a beat.

Because, at the front desk, he actually saw a familiar face.

He turned around instinctively, intending to leave.

At this moment, the young man beside him grabbed Xing Zhijun's arm.

"Brother, you haven't even looked at anyone yet, why are you leaving already!"

Xing Zhijun's brain felt like it was exploding.

He was here for an undercover investigation, so how could he have run into Qiao Lin's wife?

That's not right!

How could Qiao Lin's wife appear in a place like this?
