Chapter 668: The Situation Rises Again: The Notebook Reappears

Xiao Yu's exhortation was still ringing in my ears. I didn't dare to be careless, going to work on time every day, paying attention to every small change in everyone in the management committee. I had to act according to my original plan, but I couldn't do it with great fanfare. I was like a thousand-year-old spider lurking on a spider web, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

Li Mei also joined the management committee according to the original plan. I let her cooperate with Xu Meili's work and guard the administrative office for me.

Li Mei's arrival gave some people a sense of security.

Li Mei was the daughter of the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government; such news didn't need to be inquired about at all. Just from her surname, everyone would think of Lilian. Moreover, the masters and mistresses of the management committee had their main activity as inquiring about what everyone's son was doing and what everyone's daughter had entered which agency.

Li Mei entered the management committee through me, which showed that I had still fallen into the old routine. The family members of dignitaries could still enter smoothly, so how could I be so careless as to kill them all? Besides, everyone knew clearly that the only one I killed, Xiao Yu, was the one with the least foundation among this group of people.

It went without saying that I wouldn't offend them, let alone offend the people standing behind them. I was a smart person; in their view, I was no more brilliant than Guo Wei.

I was very satisfied with their evaluation of me, because only then would they relax their vigilance, and only then would I have more opportunities to give them a fatal blow by surprise.

Just as I was holding my breath and waiting for the prey to come to the door, a story suddenly spread in society.

The cause of the incident came from a police station's anti-prostitution sweep, where a girl who was caught caused a scene at the police station. A girl causing a scene at the police station was surprising in itself; you must know that women who engage in the flesh trade, once they enter the police station, will surely be as docile as little lambs.

The police station's means of dealing with girls were usually very simple: fine them and be done with it. But this time, not only was the girl unwilling to pay the fine, she was also shouting to see the Public Security Bureau Director. A girl wanting to see the Public Security Bureau Director was not news; the problem was that the Public Security Bureau Director didn't dare to see the girl.

The police station was disturbed by the girl and felt they had lost face. So they didn't play by the rules; the fine didn't count, and they wanted to send the girl to re-education through labor. This made the matter big, and once it was big, it was caught by the reporter Chen Meng as a news lead.

Three days after Chen Meng's news came out, the saying that the girl was actually the Public Security Bureau Director's mistress spread in society.

How could the Director's mistress become a girl? Curious people began to dig, and upon digging, they discovered a bigger story. The girl not only had an unclear relationship with the Public Security Bureau Director but also was involved in a human life.

This human life was the dead ghost Lao Can.

The girl was indeed a girl; she had worked at Lao Can's Qilin Villa. Later, the Director went to Qilin Villa to consume, met her, and brought her out to turn over a new leaf. Of course, at that time, the Director was not yet a Director, just a small team leader in the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment.

After Lao Can was arrested, the girl asked the Director to take her to visit Lao Can. The Director initially refused because this was a serious disciplinary issue. But he couldn't withstand the girl's soft grinding and agreed to let them meet and say a few words.

The reason the girl wanted to see Lao Can was that when she was at Qilin Villa, she had indeed received a lot of care from Lao Can. Lao Can had taken care of her wholeheartedly but had never touched her body. In the girl's view, Lao Can was a real man, and now that he was in trouble, out of old feelings, seeing him one last time could be considered fulfilling human sentiment.

There was no third person present during the girl's meeting with Lao Can, and Lao Can's notebook was brought out through this opportunity.

After Lao Can died, the girl once asked the Director to give her 500,000 at once; she didn't want to stay in Hengyue City anymore and wanted to return to her hometown.

Where would the Director have so much money? Seeing the Director refused to take out the money, the girl threatened to report him, saying he was keeping a mistress. The Director was between laughter and tears, scraped together 100,000 or so to send her away. Who knew that before the girl left, she lost the money the Director gave her? With no other way, she had to stay quietly and resume her old trade.

The girl met Lao Mo when she was resuming her old trade.

At that time, Lao Mo had already been cleared out of the police force. He was unconvinced and came to the Municipal Bureau to complain every day. The Municipal Bureau ignored him, and he was bored, so he found the girl to pass the lonely time, just happening to meet the girl.

Lao Mo discovered the notebook in the girl's boudoir. After he got it, he treated it like a treasure and disappeared from the girl's sight from then on.

And all this, in the girl's view, was deliberately arranged by the Director, so when she was caught in the anti-prostitution sweep, her first reaction was to call the Director out.

When I finished listening to these twists and turns, a layer of fine sweat broke out all over my body.

Chen Meng, sitting opposite me, said proudly, "Chen Feng, you can't stop me this time; it's God's will."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Mengmeng, what are you trying to do again?"

Chen Meng lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "As long as I find the notebook her mother mentioned, I can topple a batch of people."

I was startled, my voice actually trembling, and I said, "Mengmeng, why do you have to meddle in other people's business? It's thankless."

Chen Meng looked at me contemptuously and said, "You, you are becoming less and less likable to me. How is this meddling? This world needs fairness and justice. Everyone has the responsibility and obligation to defend fairness and justice. If everyone lets it go, this world will become a dark world trampled by others."

I said impatiently, "Don't lecture me with big principles. Besides, can your strength alone change it?"

Chen Meng sighed and said, "I might not be able to change it, but I can always influence it."

Chen Meng invited me for tea, and sure enough, as I expected, her main purpose was to talk to me about this matter.

But in my view, this matter had passed for so long, and everything had changed. Some people might have forgotten the existence of Qilin Villa, and even fewer would remember there was a dead ghost named Lao Can.

Chen Meng must have had another purpose for tea; she was here to probe my tone. Because she knew that the whole matter had a lot to do with me. When Lao Can was arrested, and Hao Qiang and Lao Mo were wronged, as well as my Aunt looking for the notebook, I had told her all about it.

I knew better than anyone whose hands Lao Can's notebook had fallen into.

The so-called notebook was actually just a few sheets of paper.

These few sheets of paper had stayed in Lao Mo's hands for a few days, and later they were obtained by my Aunt. To this day, if there were no accidents, they should still be in my Aunt's hands.

These few sheets of paper were filled with names, and their power was no less than a nuclear bomb. Once it exploded, it would not only blow up many people in Hengyue City but also spread to the Provincial Capital.

My Aunt once wanted to detonate it, but I persuaded her against it. I originally thought it would be calm, but who knew a sweep would bring out so many branches.

The exchange with Chen Meng could almost be described as ending on bad terms. Before she left, she stared at me hatefully and said, "Chen Feng, if you don't wake up again, I won't let you have peace."

I just smiled at her warning. I knew Chen Meng wouldn't have any malice toward me. After all, I was once the man she loved!

But the animal called woman is much stranger than man. If love turns to hate, she will surely hate to the point of gnashing her teeth.

Therefore, I smiled and said to Chen Meng's warning, "Mengmeng, I'll listen to you and support you."

After sending Chen Meng away, I called my Aunt immediately.

Hearing that I wanted to invite her for tea, my Aunt laughed, "I don't have the leisure to accompany you for tea!"

My Aunt's refusal didn't make me give up. I asked where my Aunt was. If she didn't come, I would go over.

My Aunt hesitated for a while and told me she was at the company. My Uncle had gone far away because of a business deal.

I was in high spirits preparing to go to my Aunt's company. Since coming to the Industrial Park, I hadn't seen my Aunt, and I was going to treat her to dinner tonight. ===== CHAPTER 669 =====
