"How co you’re here."
Seeing Zhang Huadong, Zhang Huai Ping asked.
"Uncle, I scheduled a eting with a business friend, we’re here for dinner to discuss so business matters."
Zhang Huai Ping nodded, "Take care of your business, I have other matters to handle."
"Uncle, if there’s anything you need, just tell , I can help you."
"You’re not qualified for this kind of thing yet, just focus on your own matters."
Zhang Huai Ping’s tone was sowhat indifferent.
Even though he was Zhang Huadong and shared the sa surna, he didn’t show him any favor.
Faced with Zhang Huai Ping’s cold words.
Zhang Huadong showed no unusual emotion, seemingly accustod to it.
"Alright, alright, I’ll help uncle upstairs."
Zhang Huai Ping nodded and, supported by Zhang Huadong, entered Yuefulou.
After they left, Lin Yi adjusted his mask and quietly headed to Yuefulou as well.
The ground floor was a lobby with a dozen scattered tables.
Since it was lunchti.
The ground floor lobby was almost full.
Reaching the stairs, Lin Yi planned to go to the third floor.
When he reached the landing between the second and third floors, he overheard Zhang Huadong speaking with soone.
"Stay attentive, if the old man needs anything, respond imdiately and inform promptly."
The person he was speaking to seed to be the hotel manager.
"President Zhang, you may not know, but when the old man cos here, we are not allowed to approach, and the entire fifth floor is locked down, watched by his bodyguards, no one is allowed to co close."
"That tight?"
"That’s right." The hotel manager said:
"Once, a new waiter didn’t understand the rules, rely glanced towards the fifth floor and was kicked out by the old man’s bodyguard. Since then, I’ve instructed everyone in the store that whenever the old man is here, no one is to approach the fifth floor."
"Do they not order food?"
"They don’t order anything, just ask for tea to be prepared in advance and won’t order anything else."
"This is interesting, what kind of guests are they eting to be so secretive."
"I’ve seen two. Once it was foreigners, and afterward, it was always a young woman."
"A young woman?"
Zhang Huadong’s face broke into a sly smile.
"Could the old man have a preference for that sort of thing? I wouldn’t think so at his age."
"I doubt it too, although the woman is young, she didn’t have a figure as good as mine, but her presence is strong, looking like she’s not ordinary."
"Alright then, let’s just follow the old man’s instructions."
"I agree, we shouldn’t go asking for trouble ourselves."
The two finished talking and separated on the third floor.
Lin Yi didn’t rush to leave but instead fell into contemplation.
Their conversation had many points worth pondering.
Generally speaking, no matter how important the guest, it shouldn’t be necessary to make the eting so concealed.
Even if the person is notably important, such secrecy isn’t needed.
The most straightforward possibility is that they are handling sothing shaful.
Beyond that, another point aroused Lin Yi’s suspicion.
The female manager ntioned that Zhang Huai Ping t two people this way.
One of whom was a foreigner.
As a forr mber of the Central Guards Brigade.
Despite stepping down, he should always adhere to these protocols.
Moreover, the so-called woman makes the matter appear unusual.
Lin Yi rubbed his chin, muttering to himself:
"What kind of shaful matters require such secrecy?"
With this thought, Lin Yi left Yuefulou.
Returning to his car, he dialed Qiu Yuluo’s number.
"Stop eating and hurry over to Yuefulou, it won’t be long before Zhang Huai Ping leaves, follow him and check his situation, I sense sothing’s not right."
"Got it."
Qiu Yuluo readily agreed.
Such matters are of grave importance; they dared not delay.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yi sent a ssage to Chen Yuying.
Inquiring about the situation inside.
Chen Yuying didn’t say much, just replied with an OK gesture.
Presumably, the situation was under her control.
Lin Yi didn’t rush to go up but waited in the car for Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo.
At that mont, a taxi stopped at the entrance.
A woman around thirty got off the taxi.
After getting out, the woman didn’t imdiately enter the restaurant.
Instead, she glanced around.
This action made Lin Yi suspicious.
Normally, when soone cos to a restaurant, they wouldn’t act this way.
Even if they did, they’d be relaxed, not tense and serious like her.
It was as if she was inspecting sothing.
After scanning the surroundings briefly, the woman entered the restaurant.
Lin Yi suddenly rembered the female manager ntioned a woman.
She said the woman was young but not good-looking, yet had a strong aura, like soone doing great things.
These traits seed to manifest in this woman.
Moreover, her arrival ti coincided with Zhang Huai Ping.
Could she be the person he’s eting?
With this thought, Lin Yi called Qiu Yuluo again.
"You two take two cars, there are two people to track."
"Don’t worry, we ca out in two cars, heading to you now, we’ll be there shortly."
"Good."
Their speed was quick; after less than twenty minutes, they drove up.
About tens of ters behind, Lin Yi saw Qiu Yuluo’s car, then called her.
"That Bentley at the entrance is his car, keep an eye on it."
"You said there was no issue earlier, so why are there issues now?"
"I just noticed, but I don’t know exactly what’s going on, it might not be good, so keep watch." Lin Yi said:
"Ning Che, later you follow Zhang Huai Ping, Yuluo you follow the other woman, I find them quite strange."
"Understood."
After another ten minutes or so, Lin Yi saw the short-haired woman co out of the restaurant.
Calculating the ti from her arrival to departure, it was less than twenty minutes.
Such a short amount of ti definitely doesn’t resemble a discussion or a al.
More like so sort of transaction.
This further corroborated Lin Yi’s suspicion.
They might be up to no good.
If he guessed correctly, things could be intriguing.
After the woman ca out, she hailed and got into a taxi.
Qiu Yuluo discreetly followed her, careful not to be noticed by anyone.
After another ten minutes or so, Zhang Huai Ping ca out.
Ning Che drove to follow him.
The tracking of both comnced.
Lin Yi sat in the car, hands behind his head.
"Two captains from the Central Guards Brigade tracking you, quite the show, hope you’re clean."
