Half an hour later.
Old Li arrived.
The old man paced back and forth nervously in front of the building, not daring to go in.
Tan Yong and the others had already noticed him. Li Dong was also observing from the second floor.
After watching for a while, Tan Yong whispered, "It doesn't look like a bait. Liu Qing was indeed found in the square, but he was more vigilant. Our people did not dare to approach him. Whether it is Liu Qing or not is not certain yet."
Li Dong nodded slightly. After a while, he said, "Let him in."
"Okay!"
Tan Yong personally went downstairs. Although Old Li did not look like a bad guy, Li Dong's safety was the first priority.
…
At the door.
Old Li tightened his body and let the security guards search him.
After a while, seeing that the men's hands seemed to be rubbed with a lot of dirt, Old Li smiled and said, "Well, I'm sorry, I forgot to take a bath these days."
The expressions of Tan Yong and the others did not change, and they were not moved in the slightest.
Although August was a hot season and the old man's body odor was obvious, they pretended not to smell it.
After confirming that it was safe, Tan Yong softened slightly and said, "Sir, come in with me. General Manager Li is waiting for you."
"Is it really Boss Li?"
Although Old Li had spoken to Li Dong, he still could not believe that Li Dong had really come.
This was a very contradictory mentality. On the one hand, he hoped that Li Dong would appear in person.
On the other hand, if he really knew that Li Dong had come, he was a little afraid.
He had struggled at the bottom of society for too long, and his spine had long been crushed.
Now he, a beggar, was about to meet the richest man. Old Li's good leg began to tremble.
Coupled with the security guards at the door, it made Old Li feel even more guilty.
After Tan Yong finished speaking, he saw that Old Li did not move. He frowned slightly and said, "It is General Manager Li. You will know when you see him. Come in."
"That … that … my … my legs are a little weak."
Old Li said dryly, his face flushed.
He had been a beggar for so many years that his skin had long been honed, but this time, he still couldn't help but blush.
He had never imagined that there would be a day when his legs were so weak that he couldn't even walk.
In fact, he had seen rich people before. He had seen them from afar a few times, but at that time, he had the mentality of a bystander. At most, he was envious and jealous.
Now that he had become a participant, Old Li's attitude suddenly changed.
Tan Yong didn't say much. He walked over and helped Old Li up the stairs.
Although this small building was close to the Rivertown Square, it was not a bustling place. It was located in a corner and looked a little run-down.
Li Dong and the others were only borrowing it temporarily, so they didn't really clean it up.
On the second floor, there was only some simple furniture, a table, and a few chairs.
Li Dong was sitting on the chair. Old Li recognized Li Dong the moment he saw him. He was indeed the richest man in the city!
Although he didn't pay much attention to such news, he wasn't completely clueless.
Usually, there would be televisions in the shops at the end of the street, and there would be newspapers thrown by the roadside. Although Li Dong didn't appear much in front of the media, he didn't need to show his face. The media would often report on him.
Some photos and videos of him meeting with officials from various places would also often be broadcast.
Old Li had seen it a few times and remembered Li Dong's appearance.
When he saw Li Dong, Old Li immediately ignored the environment. He was so nervous that his face turned purple. He stammered, "Boss … Boss Li …"
Li Dong smiled, got up, and gestured, "Old man, sit down."
Tan Yong supported Old Li and sat opposite Li Dong.
Li Dong gestured to Tan Yong. Tan Yong picked up a box from the side and placed it on the table.
The moment the box was opened, Old Li's eyes turned red!
Money, bright red banknotes!
A box full of money!
Old Li had never seen so much money in his life. He didn't know how much money there was in the box, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to get so much money even if he begged for ten lifetimes.
In the past, his third brother, who was very rich in his eyes, probably wouldn't have so much money even if he sold his small villa.
Old Li swallowed his saliva hard, his hands trembling.
He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he also wanted to reach out and slap himself. Was he dreaming?
But at this time, he didn't dare to move. Even if Li Dong was smiling amiably, he didn't dare to move.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Old man, what's your name?"
"My … my surname is Li …"
"Uncle Li, here's one million in cash. You can take a look at it, or you can verify its authenticity. This money is now yours. "
"Mine?"
Old Li's mouth was dry. One million, mine?
Li Dong nodded and smiled, "Yes, this money is now yours."
"But …"
Li Dong didn't give him a chance to finish and said with a smile, "Of course, this one million is just a reward for providing information. I said that if you find the person directly, you will get a total of five million. Uncle Li, do you want the remaining four million? "
"Yes!"
Old Li didn't hesitate to reply. Money was a good thing, and everyone wanted it.
In this life, he didn't have the face to go back to see his wife and children, because he had no money and was disabled.
If he had this money, he could go back to his hometown in glory.
One million was a lot, but in the city, he could only buy two or three houses.
He had a total of four children, two boys and two girls. The youngest was probably getting married now.
If he wanted to go back to his hometown in glory, each of his children must buy a house, or simply build a few small villas in his hometown.
He also wanted to buy a few cars, and if his wife was still alive, he wanted to make it up to her. He had wronged her in the first half of his life, and he wanted to live happily in his later years.
All these needed money, and five million could let his family live a life without worries.
"Good."
Li Dong smiled and continued, "This time I'm not looking for relatives."
"Ah?"
"I'm looking for an enemy!"
Li Dong's eyes revealed a touch of fierceness, and Old Li felt a chill in his heart. Looking for an enemy?
He didn't dare to speak, but he thought of the thing on the waist of this little fellow.
This was Li Dong's enemy?
No wonder, no wonder he felt that something was wrong. He thought that Li Dong's relative committed a crime and ran away, but now it seemed that he guessed wrong.
Old Li didn't say anything, but Li Dong was somewhat optimistic about him. He smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you, Uncle. The person you found is my enemy. If you want the remaining four million, do me a small favor. "
"I … I … I'm afraid I can't help much. I'm just a beggar." Old Li stuttered, and his face was sweating.
Li Dong said softly, "Don't worry, Uncle. I won't make things difficult for you. It's very simple. Didn't you say that Liu Qing can't even afford to eat? It's almost noon. How about you treat him to lunch? We'll eat here! "
"This?"
"Yes, it's too expensive to eat in a restaurant. This is now a private unlicensed family restaurant. Do you understand?"
"I know, I know!" Old Li nodded hurriedly. He understood this. It was similar to the popular rural tourism in recent years.
Of course, rural tourism was in the suburbs of scenic spots, while this was in the city. Anyway, it was similar.
"It's good that Uncle understands. It shouldn't be difficult for you to treat Liu Qing to a meal, right?"
"I …"
Old Li was a little hesitant. Li Dong said again, "Four million, I think there are many people who are tempted by this money.
I just want Liu Qing to come here. I'm just afraid that things will get out of hand and affect the safety of others.
Otherwise, I'll directly ask the police to arrest him.
It's a simple matter to lead the way.
As long as Uncle can stay calm, I don't think Liu Qing will think too much.
You guys met by chance. Are you saying that I'm not willing? "
"I … I'm not …"
Old Li was a little conflicted. However, thinking about the four million and thinking about his family, he could not make up his mind.
Seeing this, Li Dong said again, "He's a wanted criminal. You've done a good job by reporting him. Don't worry too much. And after this, I don't think he'll have a chance to seek revenge on Uncle in this lifetime. "
Old Li's heart skipped a beat. Wanted criminal? No chance to seek revenge in this lifetime?
Some thoughts flashed through his mind. Old Li did not dare to think further.
Feeling a little apprehensive, he looked at the money on the table again. In the end, Old Man Li gritted his teeth. Every man for himself!
He and Liu Qing didn't know each other, they just met in the park.
Moreover, that guy scolded him every day and forced him to lend him money to buy food. He was not a good person to begin with.
He had done a good job by reporting him. Why should he be afraid of bad people?
After comforting himself for a while, Old Li gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it! But if I attract him, what should I do? "
"When Liu Qing comes here, just find an excuse to go to the toilet. As long as he's here, there's nothing else for Uncle to do. I'll send the money to you after this. I, Li Dong, am a man of my word. A few million is nothing to me. If Uncle is worried, I can give you the money in advance now. But you can't take it. 5 million is not a small amount unless you want a bank card or a check. "
"Well, I still want cash." Old Li laughed dryly.
Bank card? Check?
He had heard of it but never used it. It was not as real as real money.
When Li Dong said he did not care about a few million, Old Li believed him.
It was not impossible to leave the money with Li Dong first.
Old Man Li also understood the logic of taking someone's money and helping them avoid disaster.
If he could not bring Liu Qing here, he would not be able to get the money.
Men die for money, and birds die for food. Old Li had been at the bottom of society for so many years, how could he not understand?
Twenty years ago, people would die for a steamed bun.
Ten years ago, to find a better place to beg, groups of beggars fought, and it was not uncommon for people to die.
Now, Third Brother and the others, in order to drive other people away, did not hold back.
He was just leading the way. That fellow was indeed a bit fierce, and he had a weapon in his hand. If he did not take any risks, how would he get the money?
Old Li did not hesitate, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "Boss Li, will I die?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Of course not. As long as you don't tell Liu Qing the truth, he won't do anything to you even if he suspects."
"I'm not afraid of death." Old Li scratched his head and said with a smile, "Anyway, I have a cheap life. I was about to die 20 years ago, but I didn't. I've lived for so many years in vain, and now I'm rich. I mean, if I really do that, will Boss Li give the money to my family? "
Although he felt that the old man's worry was unnecessary, Li Dong still nodded and said, "Yes, you can tell me about your family's situation. If something really happens, all the money will go to your family. And I will also compensate you with an additional 1 million. I, Li Dong, am more than 1 million! "
"Of course, I believe Boss Li's words."
Old Li breathed a sigh of relief and told him about the situation at home.
However, he had been away from home for too long, and there were some things that he was not very clear about.
This kind of thing was not difficult for Li Dong. Unless all of Old Li's family passed away, it was very easy for him to find a few people.
After waiting for Old Li to finish, he then got up and said, "Boss Li, shall I go back now?"
"Yes, take care, Sir."
Li Dong walked Old Li downstairs. When he dragged his limping leg and walked away step by step, Li Dong returned.
On the first floor, there were already a lot of police squatting in two small rooms.
Outside, there were also police officers patrolling. Far away people were also patrolling.
Li Dong did not care much and went directly to the second floor.
Tan Yong also went upstairs and whispered, "General Manager Li, is this person okay? If he leaks the news to Liu Qing … "
"Then let the police chase him in the downtown area!"
Li Dong said lightly. After a while, he said, "Don't underestimate these people. For money, for survival, their acting skills are better than yours. On the street, there are a lot of beggars crawling with broken legs. But do you know who is real and who is fake? For 100 yuan, they can fight until their heads bleed. Now there is 5 million here. How far do you think this old man can act? "
"This …"
Tan Yong was speechless. He was really not sure how the situation would develop.
Li Dong continued, "And even if it doesn't attract them, it doesn't matter.
I just want to solve this problem quietly. But if it can't be done quietly, then there's nothing I can do.
If passersby get hurt or something else, it can't be blamed on me.
Liu Qing's jailbreak is not my responsibility.
I can provide clues to the police and let them find him. I'm already a good citizen.
If he escapes or has a chance to pull out a gun, then it's their problem.
But I don't think Liu Qing can escape this time. "
In the downtown area, the police received news that Li Dong's men were watching. If they let him escape, they would all die together.
Li Dong did all this just in case.
After all, it would have a bad impact if someone was hurt or caused a big commotion.
Especially on a day like today, the impact would spread. Therefore, Li Dong wanted to solve the problem quietly and did not want it to spread.
Tan Yong nodded and said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, don't worry. This time, Liu Qing definitely can't escape! Also, if things go smoothly, I hope that General Manager Li won't show up. Protecting you is our biggest responsibility. As for Liu Qing, he won't live. "
"I'll be careful. Don't worry, I won't joke around with my life, and I won't use my life to exchange for Liu Qing's. He doesn't have that much capital."
Li Dong nodded. This kind of thing did not need Tan Yong to remind him.
Safety first. This was what he always believed in.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have set up a security company, and he wouldn't have brought so many bodyguards.
The reason why he came here personally was that he wanted to see the results as soon as possible.
Walking to the window, Li Dong looked into the distance. This matter should be over.
