The driver was puzzled. He looked around and asked, "Are there mosquitoes in the car? I haven't seen any. "
Li Rui could not say anything. He could only play dumb awkwardly.
After arriving at Qing Bao, Li Rui, accompanied by General Manager Liao Jin, took the car for inspection. First, he checked the exterior of the car. He checked the front, back, and all sides of the car. He even checked the engine compartment. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he got in the car and tested it. He even found a bumpy dirt road to make sure there were no strange noises in the car. After half an hour, he finally finished the inspection. Everything was in good condition. There was no difference from before the car was smashed.
The repair cost was assessed by 4S. Han Zhifei had already paid for it, so Li Rui could just drive it away.
Li Rui thanked Liao Jin and drove away. He drove slowly on the road. He kept thinking about how to respond to Qin Lina's dinner invitation. If he did not agree, it might lead to terrible consequences. But if he agreed, he was afraid that Qin Lina would misunderstand that he was interested in her. In the future, she would unscrupulously seduce him. He would fall deeper and harder to get out. Alas, what should he do?
Just as he was worrying, his phone rang. The phone was connected to the car's central control system through Bluetooth. All the speakers in the car rang.
Li Rui looked at the central control screen. He saw that the caller was Chen Zhimin. His heart skipped a beat. Why did this guy suddenly call? Did he have something to report about the Imperial Dragon Palace? He pressed the answer button on the multi-purpose steering wheel and answered the call.
"Director Li, I have something important to report to you. The Imperial Dragon Palace is hosting a big shot from the province tonight. Han Shui and Li Bing will be there personally. Han Shui also invited me to attend. He also hinted that there will be a few new female students at the Imperial Dragon Palace tonight for the big shot to enjoy. Of course, if I'm interested, I can enjoy them too …"
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Zhimin's hurried voice sounded from the other end. He sounded like he was trying to curry favor.
Li Rui stopped the car on the side of the road and put it in N gear. He said with annoyance and amusement, "What's so important about this? No matter who the big shot from the province is, it has nothing to do with our city, so why should we pay attention to it? As for a few more female students, that's something that can't be helped. Good girls won't be lured to that kind of place. " After saying that, he thought to himself, If Chen Zhimin told Yang Xiang about the girl, she might intervene, but I won't, at least not now. I have to focus on dealing with Han Shui. As long as I can deal with Han Shui, the Dragon Emperor Palace will be finished, and more underage girls will be saved.
Chen Zhimin said, "How is it not related to our city? If it wasn't related to the city, Han Shui wouldn't have asked me to accompany him. I've heard that it has something to do with our Qingyang gold mine. "
When Li Rui heard the words "gold mine," he subconsciously thought of his godsister, Ji Xiaojia. Her husband, Wang Jie, mined gold in Qingyang Mountain. He didn't know if Han Shui's incident would affect Wang Jie's business, so he asked, "What happened?"
Chen Zhimin said, "I still don't know. I only heard Han Shui mention it. The details will only be known tonight. It's more likely that it has something to do with the big shot from the province. Of course, I can guess that Han Shui must be tempted by our city's gold mine resources. Maybe he wants to make a big move in the gold mining industry. "
Li Rui frowned and asked, "What kind of big move could it be?"
Chen Zhimin said, "Invest in gold mining. It's almost needless to say. However, it was a little late for him to enter the industry now. Why? Because the rich mines with good development conditions and easy to mine and choose had already been occupied. The remaining mines were those deep mountain areas with relatively poor development conditions and poor mines that had already been discovered. They required an incomparably huge investment and might not be able to make money. As a shrewd businessman, Han Shui should have considered this. So I'm a little puzzled. Why is he interested in gold mining? "
Li Rui was concerned about Wang Jie and Ji Xiaojia. He also thought of how Han Shui started his business. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Is it possible that Han Shui used his underworld power to snatch the mines from the rich mine owners?"
Chen Zhimin asked curiously, "Director Li, weren't you not interested in this matter at all? Why are you suddenly interested in it?"
Li Rui didn't hide it from him and said, "I have a relative who owns a gold mine in the mountains. So I just wanted to ask. I don't have any other intentions."
Chen Zhimin nodded and said, "What you just said is impossible. It's a society ruled by law. Moreover, anyone who owns a gold mine doesn't have a background. No matter how powerful Han Shui is, he wouldn't dare to snatch it openly. But he might play dirty."
Li Rui came back to his senses. Even if Han Shui wanted to snatch the gold mine openly, he wouldn't dare to do it to Wang Jie. Wang Jie was Ji Fei's son-in-law. Ji Fei was the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Han Shui would definitely give him face. Thinking of this, he instantly lost interest in this matter and said, "At this stage, don't worry about things that have nothing to do with you. Just do your job well. Remember, the Song Shuji wants evidence of the local officials breaking the law in the Dragon Palace. He doesn't want to pay attention to some big shot in the province. "
Chen Zhimin said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Then I won't care about this matter. I'll go to the banquet tonight and see if Han Shui invited other city officials."
Li Rui commented, "You're right to think that way. Even ten big shots in the province can't compare to one city official."
Chen Zhimin said vividly, "That's what I do too. I go to the Dragon Emperor Palace almost every day these days. When I see officials gambling, drinking, and playing with women, especially underage girls, I find a way to get video and picture evidence of their crimes. I bought a mini camera disguised as a lighter, so I can capture them accurately. I have already captured a few videos of the officials gambling, but I can't capture the scenes of them fooling around with women. They all have their own rooms, so I can't get in at all, so I can't capture them. "
Li Rui said, "Well, try your best to get evidence. If you can't get it, then forget it. Remember to protect yourself. Don't let anyone find out …"
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui suddenly found an excuse to reject Qin Lina. He replied to her message, "Sorry, I have a dinner appointment tonight. Another time, I'll treat you another time."
This reply could not only reject Qin Lina, but also give her an illusion. After Li Rui sent the message, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He secretly praised himself for being smart, but also realized for the first time how scary women could be.
It's not scary to be pounced on by a woman, but it's scary to be disgusted by that woman.
After sending the message, Li Rui continued to drive home. After driving for a while, he received Qin Lina's reply, "Okay, then I'll wait. Haha."
Through this message, Li Rui could see Qin Lina's face full of expectation and desire. When he saw her yesterday, he only thought that she wasn't beautiful enough, but didn't think that she was ugly. Now that he thought about it, he felt that she was extremely ugly.
When he got home, his father, Li Jianmin, and Qingman were both there. Li Rui told them about Fang Cheng's death. Of course, he hid the conflict between him and Fang Cheng before the incident. He only said that Fang Cheng had a conflict with Luo Shan because of the divorce, and finally died in an accident.
Li Jianmin and Qingman were shocked. No one dared to believe it, but since it was Li Rui who said it, they couldn't not believe it. He could only lament that the weather was unpredictable, and that man's misfortune was unpredictable.
At around five o 'clock, Li Rui received a call from Chen Zhimin again.
Chen Zhimin told him a piece of shocking news. The female students mentioned on the phone were no longer female students who had fallen into depravity like Wang Xiaomei. Instead, they were organized by Sister Hong, the leader of the girls who had fallen into depravity like Wang Xiaomei. Girls who had fallen into depravity like Wang Xiaomei would lure beautiful and innocent girls out of the orphanage through deceit and seduction. Then, they would trick them into drinking drinks mixed with drugs. After they were knocked out, they would be sent to the Dragon Palace for the big shot from the province to enjoy tonight.
Even Chen Zhimin couldn't stand such a despicable and shameless act. Therefore, he called Li Rui to see if Li Rui was willing to take care of this matter. In the end, he said angrily, "Although I also played with underage girls, I only played with underage girls like Wang Xiaomei who had fallen into depravity. Even if I committed a crime, it wasn't a big one. At least I felt that I could live up to my conscience. But tonight, I really can't stand it. Isn't this outrageous? Damn, the orphans are already very pitiful. They are also good girls who are motivated and study hard. Why do you have to harm them? If you really do harm to her, wouldn't you be completely ruining her life? "
Before Li Rui heard these words, he was still hesitating whether to sneak into the Dragon Palace to save the girls at the risk of disturbing Han Shui, Li Bing, and the others. But after hearing these words, he felt a rush of blood to the top of his head. He felt hot all over, his eyes were wet, and his nose was a little sour. He thought to himself, "Even Chen Zhimin, who is worse than a beast, can have this kind of awareness. How can I be a coward and stay out of it?" If he really stood by and ignored this matter, and let the girls be ruined, he was afraid that he would live in self-blame for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Bureau Chief Chen, I admire you from the bottom of my heart for being able to have such awareness. This means that your conscience hasn't completely disappeared. You can still be a good person. Tonight is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself. I hope you can help us sneak into the Dragon Palace and save the girls. "
