There was still some time before the appointed time. Lu Yiwei took Li Haidong to a roadside food stall to have a meal. Then, he bought two packs of Chunghwa cigarettes and walked to the Fulaike Tea House.
The Fulaike Tea House looked very simple. If one did not specifically look for it, it would not attract anyone's attention. Guo Jinzhu had put in a lot of effort to choose such a place to trade power and money.
Lu Yiwei entered the tea house alone with a black plastic bag in his hand. When the boss of the tea house saw it, he immediately put his fat and smiling face over and said in a very good manner, "Sir, would you like some tea?"
Lu Yiwei guessed that it was a code word. He glanced upstairs and said directly, "The first room on the second floor."
The boss saw that Lu Yiwei was so familiar with the place and said respectfully, "I think this is the first time you have come to my shop. You look unfamiliar, but you know the rules very well."
Lu Yiwei smiled and did not answer. When they reached the second floor, the boss led them into a closed room with lights on. There was a long table with a tea set on it. When Lu Yiwei saw it, it looked like a place to interrogate criminals. The boss pointed to the table and chairs opposite and said, "Brother, this way please!"
After Lu Yiwei sat down, the boss personally served him tea and took out a paper bag with the words "Longjing Tea" printed on it from the cupboard. He brought it to Lu Yiwei and said, "Give this brother some of our best tea later. You can enjoy it first."
Lu Yiwei knew what the bag was for. He nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you for your advice, brother."
The boss saw that Lu Yiwei knew how to behave and left with peace of mind. There was no one in the tea house except for Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei took out the money from the black plastic bag and piled it on the bottom. Then, he spread the box of Longjing Tea on top. One bag wasn't enough, so Lu Yiwei took another and did the same thing.
When he arrived, Lu Yiwei was thinking about how much money he should give to Secretary Guo. When he saw that the starting price on Niu Fuyong's notebook was 200,000 yuan, he had an idea. He planned to give away the 400,000 yuan. After all, it was related to the fate of Niu Fuyong. It was worth it no matter how much he spent.
Bored, Lu Yiwei drank his tea and smoked while waiting for Guo Jinzhu, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He looked around at the gloomy room. If he were to think about it, it would look like a coffin. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated violently, giving Lu Yiwei a fright.
When Lu Yiwei saw that it was a call from Niu Fuyong's wife, he picked it up and heard a deafening wail coming from the other side.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm trying to think of a way to save Fuyong. Don't worry, just take good care of the old lady." Lu Yiwei comforted her.
"What? What happened to her? Then hurry up and send her to the county hospital. Okay, okay, I'll ask Li Haidong to go back now. Don't worry. " When Lu Yiwei heard that Old Lady Niu fainted because of the police, he panicked. But, he still calmly told her what to do.
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei called Li Haidong. "Niu Fuyong's mother fainted. Hurry up and drive back to the county and ask them to send her to the hospital. Don't worry about me. "
Lu Yiwei sat on the chair absent-mindedly, feeling the coldness of the world. In the past, Niu Fuyong was surrounded by a group of people who flattered him. He could even call him father if he wanted to get more benefits. But now that something had happened to Niu Fuyong, there was no one to help him. When he thought of himself, wasn't it the same?
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch. It was five past two. He thought to himself, "According to Guo Jinzhu's secretary, Li Xiaochuan, he should be here by now."
After ten minutes, there was a sudden noise downstairs. Lu Yiwei pricked up his ears to listen. It turned out that a few young people had come in for tea. The boss told them that they were not open for business. The young people got angry and started arguing with the boss. This once again confirmed Lu Yiwei's thoughts. This teahouse was the secret place where Guo Jinzhu traded power and money.
Another ten minutes later, there was the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs. Then, there were dense footsteps and the sound of the door opening coming from the direction of the second floor. Lu Yiwei realized that it was Guo Jinzhu. So, he hurriedly got up, tidied up his clothes, and walked to the door, ready to welcome this "official".
