235: Chapter 234 The Playful One 235: Chapter 234 The Playful One Liu Hun was scared out of his wits and quickly grabbed Ren Peiling, saying, “What are you doing?
Going out dressed like that!”
Looking at Ren Peiling’s lower half, she could hardly pass for a Mayor.
Once seen by others in Mingji Market, countless jokes would be spawned.
“It’s dark outside!
It’s ti to do what should be done in the dark!” she said, and without further ado, she pulled Liu Hun out of the Mayor’s office in a regal manner.
That night, Liu Hun returned ho very late.
The next day, a ghost story spread throughout the Township Governnt compound.
According to the security guard, he heard ghostly wails that night, a lantation that lasted over an hour.
Liu Hun got ho and, not wanting to disturb the won in his household, decided to sleep on the couch.
After tussling with Ren Peiling for so long, he felt he could sleep even on a curbstone.
But as soon as he lay down on the couch, he discovered his head knocked against sothing hard.
On closer inspection,
“It’s that thing from Huang Yang I took with after saving Ren Peiling from the hotel that day!” Liu Hun suddenly felt energized.
He vividly rembered that Huang Yang had gotten Ren Peiling drunk back then.
Afterwards, a seductive woman told him that taking Huang Yang’s belongings might co with a surprise.
What could this surprise be?!
Could it be sothing like what Yan Xiaojun was involved in?
Liu Hun mused.
Given Huang Yang’s character, it was quite possible he’d do such a thing.
He really couldn’t understand why people liked to record these deeds.
As it turned out, Liu Hun was wrong this ti.
The next day, he took the tape to Zhao Mingjie.
Although she was not skilled in this area, she had an ace up her sleeve—Liao Qianji.
Although Liu Hun felt this otaku girl sowhat betrayed her feminine identity, her mastery of various information technologies was eye-opening.
His Qi Force could disrupt systems, but that was it.
Other than destruction, he was helpless.
“People are still using video tapes?
How antiquated.
I bet I’m the only one in Yuhua City who can play these things.
Retrieving its information is no big deal.
The more ancient the technology, the less technical expertise needed, so the easier it is!” Liao Qianji chatted away to herself and soon stuffed the videotape into the VCR.
As a criminal investigator, Zhao Mingjie’s line of thinking was different from Liao Qianji’s but coincided with Liu Hun’s.
She said, “Using a videotape instead of a modern USB drive or CD is very likely for secrecy.
You also said that few people use this dium now, so…
the content inside must not be simple.” After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Liu Hun, realizing that he had not brought Chen Qiuya with him today, which pleased her quite a bit.
She didn’t understand where this pleasure in her heart ca from.
Like nature’s inevitability of rain or marriage, it was just so…
natural.
Liu Hun had also considered this point.
But what was of greater concern to him was the nearly naked, seductive woman wandering around.
Why could she know about Huang Yang’s possession, or rather, what else did she know?
“One piece of good news, and one piece of bad news!” said Liao Qianji as she pointed at the screen, her deanor as direct as the speed of her typing.
“The bad news is, this thing can only play once.
The good news is, I can transfer its data wherever you want it to go.”
After watching for forty minutes, the smile on Liu Hun’s face grew increasingly thick.
This tape was not the kind of n-and-won affair he had imagined.
Instead, it contained sothing far more valuable—evidence of bribery!
“So it turns out this Huang guy has been bribing Li Tianyang for a long ti.
He must have recorded it fearing Li Tianyang might kick him to the curb soday,” Zhao Mingjie said while staring at the screen, surprised at Huang Yang’s cunning in keeping such an ace up his sleeve.
With this in his possession, Liu Hun could now hold the fuse of the explosive whenever he wanted to detonate it.
As for the rger of the three villages, it was as good as set in stone!
“What are you planning to do now?
I’m telling you, this can be played only once.
Do you plan to transfer this information to a USB drive, or to a CD?” Liao Qianji asked, her long finger threading through a CD, a look of technical superiority on her face.
“We need to find soone before making a decision!” Liu Hun told Liao Qianji.
“Who?!” Zhao Mingjie asked, puzzled.
By her usual modus operandi as a people’s police officer, she would simply report to her superiors and follow legal procedures.
“Entertainnt Weekend reporter, Chen Yuanxin!
Your police departnt should be able to look up his personal information and address, right?” Liu Hun asked Zhao Mingjie.
This information was precisely what he needed from her.
Zhao Mingjie couldn’t help but smile Yanran, blossoming like a police flower, truly fragrant and filling the room.
She said to Liu Hun, “Why go to the police departnt when you have both of us right here, Qian Ji?”
Liao Qianji gave a haughty sniff and turned around, her hands flying swiftly over the keyboard.
For her, accessing civil data from the police system was as easy as strolling through a market.
It depended solely on when she felt like doing so.
Forty minutes later, Liu Hun and Zhao Mingjie appeared at Hendon Garden building 24, apartnt 301, the residence of Chen Yuanxin.
“How are we going to get in?
What if Chen Yuanxin is at ho?” Zhao Mingjie asked Liu Hun, who was standing next to her.
Normally, she was full of ideas and opinions, but whenever she was around Liu Hun, she found herself drawing a blank.
“Entertainnt Weekend is in full swing now.
If he’s still hanging around at ho all day, he’ll have nothing to eat.
Just to be safe, let’s knock on the door first.” After saying this, Liu Hun pressed the doorbell.
After a long mont with no response, Liu Hun simply placed his hand on the keyhole.
Before Zhao Mingjie could figure out what was going on, she heard a “click” and the door was opened.
“You really do have a lot of skills!” Zhao Mingjie said to Liu Hun, her tone carrying a hint of admiration.
Once inside, they discovered it was a typical bachelor’s apartnt, completely different from where Liao Qianji lived.
It was a ss everywhere, trying to find sothing here was like picking sand out of a heap of sesa seeds.
“No matter what you’re looking for, there’s no way we can find it in two hours,” Zhao Mingjie told Liu Hun.
Even as the most professional criminal police, it would be impossible to find what she wanted in this jumbled ss.
But!
Under the X-ray vision, nothing in the world could hide!
Godly perspective, every detail revealed!
Qi Force!
Eyes open!
Perspective—on!
Liu Hun channeled Qi Force to his eyes, and his X-ray ability was instantly activated.
The entire ssy room was scanned in an instant, half the room in just two seconds…
A pause for one second…
and then the entire room was completely scanned.
The pause naturally happened when his gaze reached Zhao Mingjie, who was standing in front of him.
He rembered once seeing her underwear by accident when he was at the police station in Taiping Town, finding the string-bound little thing quite curious at the ti.
He thought it must be uncomfortable to wear, but now it appeared Zhao Mingjie had gotten used to it.
Zhao Mingjie had no idea what had occurred in those few seconds but as far as the thong…
friction leads to friction, and with friction, she had grown to like it.
“In the kitchen!” Liu Hun withdrew his piercing vision and told Zhao Mingjie.
There was no ti to waste; if they were caught by Chen Yuanxin returning ho, they’d be in big trouble.
Zhao Mingjie followed Liu Hun into the equally ssy kitchen, watching him confidently reach into the sink and pull out sothing wrapped in a black plastic bag, as if he were in his own ho.
“Have you…
been here before?” Zhao Mingjie asked Liu Hun, perplexed by his actions, which science couldn’t explain.
Liu Hun shook the droplets of water off the plastic bag and then placed the bag on the floor, carefully opening it and saying, “Now, we need to see if there’s anything I want inside.”
“What are you looking for?” Zhao Mingjie asked Liu Hun.
As a police captain, curiosity was always at its peak, and she imdiately crouched down to look with him.
Liu Hun shared the information he got from Ren Peiling with Zhao Mingjie.
What he was looking for…
“It should be this!” He held up a USB drive and told Zhao Mingjie, and then repeated what Ren Peiling had told him.
“So that’s how it is.
Combining the three villages is really a great thing, not only for the people of the three villages but also for the whole Taiping Town and Anchang County.
I didn’t expect soone would sabotage such an affair.
What do you plan to do now?
Destroy it?” Zhao Mingjie asked Liu Hun, thinking that if they just destroyed the thing blackmailing Liu Hun, the leverage against him would be gone.
Having dealt with the likes of Wang Dawei and Yan Xiaojun, Liu Hun knew exactly how to handle such a situation, familiar like a man knows his wife, he told Zhao Mingjie, “Let’s look around first and see if there’s anything else.
We’ll take this with us and go find Liao Qianji later.”
Zhao Mingjie nodded and quickly started searching again.
There wasn’t much of note in the black plastic bag, but suddenly she paused, pulling out a photo from the pile to show Liu Hun, “Take a look at this!”
Liu Hun instantly widened his eyes in surprise as he took the photo, telling Zhao Mingjie, “This is Wan Qiliang!” He couldn’t forget this man, the one who had abducted Zhao Mingjie, causing her to beco ntally disturbed, and moreover!
There was an invisible Superpower User nearby!
As the person involved, Zhao Mingjie rembered more clearly than Liu Hun and said with a frown, “Why would Wan Qiliang’s photo be here?”
“Wan Qiliang is, after all, a known social elite.
Could it be that Chen Yuanxin was instructed to keep tabs on him?
Like he did with ?” Liu Hun told Zhao Mingjie, sharing his analysis.
After all, they had only a photo in hand and didn’t know anything else.
Despite saying that, he still hoped they could uncover sothing from Chen Yuanxin.
Zhao Mingjie suddenly felt sothing was off.
She flipped the photo over, and on the back, there was a phone number!
She imdiately told Liu Hun, “There’s a phone number here; it must be related to Wan Qiliang.”
