Yang Xiang rebuked, "Where did you go earlier?"
Li Rui looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly got up and went back to the west wall. He took out his phone and called Chen Zhimin.
"Hello, Cousin …"
Chen Zhimin immediately used this form of address, which almost made Li Rui mistakenly think that he had called the wrong number. Fortunately, he quickly realized that the reason why Chen Zhimin said this was to let Han Shui and the others at the same table, so that they wouldn't be suspicious. He said in a low voice, "I know it's not convenient for you to talk, so I'll ask you a few questions. You can just reply to me with a text message later. First, how many girls were abducted, and who were they serving? Second, who was that big shot in the province, and what kind of clothes was he wearing? Third, when will the banquet end? Just these three questions. Do you understand? "
Chen Zhimin said, "Ah … Oh, I understand. I'll do it for you later. Let's talk again." He hung up after saying that.
After about a minute, Li Rui received a text from Chen Zhimin. The text gave a simple answer: "Second, the banquet for the provincial yamen's pink shirt and white trousers is about to end."
Li Rui was stunned. Didn't Chen Zhimin say that there were "a few" girls? Shouldn't there be at least three of them? Why were there only two girls now? Chen Zhimin also didn't say who the two girls were serving. Could it be that both of them were serving that yamen? He didn't have time to think about it. He immediately relayed the important information to Yang Xiang.
Yang Xiang grasped the main point: "The banquet is about to end? That means that we don't have much time left? We don't have any good ideas right now. Do we have to listen to you? I'll keep an eye on that yamen and follow him back to his room. After I subdue him, I'll save the girls in his room. "
Li Rui panicked when he heard that. He said, "Who said anything about subduing him? I only asked you to keep an eye on him and confirm where his room is. If you really subdue him, you'll attract a large number of security guards. "
Yang Xiang said indifferently, "But if I don't restrain him, how can I enter the house to save people?"
Li Rui thought about it, but it did make sense. As long as they wanted to save someone, they had to enter the house. Once they entered the house, they would definitely meet the other party. If they did not restrain the other party, they would be trapped in the heavily guarded Dragon Emperor Palace if they screamed.
Yang Xiang said again, "Who said that security would be called? With my martial arts, I can perfectly control him without making any noise. Unless he has bodyguards with him, who would know? "
Li Rui took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll monitor the movements inside the building. Once I see him and Han Shui walking out of the Crystal Pavilion, I'll inform you. You'll find a way to follow him back to his room and seize the opportunity to subdue him. After that, you'll rescue the two female students in the room. Ah … not good, after you rescue them, how are you going to bring them away? You'll be stopped at the entrance. "
Yang Xiang said impolitely, "Are you a useless person? Can't you distract the people at the entrance for me? "
Li Rui opened his mouth and wanted to ask me how to distract them, but he was afraid that Yang Xiang would look down on him, so he said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Yang Xiang said, "I have a telescope in my bag. You can use it to observe the situation at the entrance of the Crystal Pavilion. You can find Han Shui and the others early."
Li Rui nodded and reached into the bag to search for a while. He took out a small telescope. The telescope was only the length of an index finger and three centimeters thick. It could be focused and felt very good. At first glance, one could tell that it was a high-end product. Li Rui tried to look into the distance and was pleasantly surprised to find that even in such a dark night, he could still see the details of the Yi Hong Brothel. He could even see the smile on the face of the man at the door. If he could see the entrance of the Yi Hong Brothel so clearly, he could see the Crystal Pavilion even more clearly.
"It's really a treasure!"
Li Rui secretly praised. He hid the handbag in the corner and sneaked back into the bushes. He stared at the entrance of the Crystal Pavilion and looked through the binoculars from time to time. Time passed in this boring wait. Soon, half an hour passed and it was already 8: 30 in the evening.
"The banquet hasn't ended yet?"
At the same time that Yang Xiang's impatient voice sounded, three or four men and women suddenly walked out of the Crystal Pavilion's entrance. Behind them were two men. Among the three or four men and women walking at the front, two of the men were tall and very conspicuous.
Li Rui immediately thought of Han Shui and hurriedly looked with the telescope. Wasn't it Han Shui? The other tall man was half a step behind him. He should be his godbrother, the vice president of the Construction Group, and the owner of this place, Li Bing.
Li Rui then pointed the camera at the man walking in front of Han Shui. He didn't know if he didn't look, but when he looked, he was shocked. Through the high-powered telescope, he could clearly see the man's face. That man was Yu Nan, the husband of the deputy director of the general office of the provincial government. He was wearing a pink shirt and white trousers. His hairstyle was very fashionable. Overall, he looked young and handsome. He also had the arrogance of a yamen official. He was very different from the previous him.
Li Rui was shocked when he recognized him. He really didn't expect that the so-called yamen official that Chen Zhimin mentioned was actually Yu Nan, the son of the former leader of the provincial government. But his father had retired many years ago. Their Yu family was no longer in power. To use a popular saying, they were "outdated". Yu Nan was no longer a real yamen official … Oh, right, he wasn't a real yamen official. But compared to Chen Zhimin and Han Shui, who were small figures in the city, he was a real yamen official. But why did he suddenly come to Qingyang? Chen Zhimin previously mentioned that tonight's banquet was related to the gold mine. Could it be that Yu Nan was interested in the gold mine in Qingyang Mountain?
Li Rui was letting his imagination run wild when his phone vibrated. He had already set the phone to vibrate because he was afraid that the sudden ringtone would be heard by others. This short vibration should be the sound of a text message. He guessed that it should be a reminder from Chen Zhimin. He took out his phone and covered the screen with his hand. Of course, it was a message from Chen Zhimin. "It's over. They're coming out."
Li Rui put away his phone and whispered to Yang Xiang, "Damn, that yamen official is actually an old acquaintance of mine from the provincial capital. They came out after dinner and are walking towards Baihua Park. Be prepared."
Yang Xiang said in surprise, "Your old acquaintance? Isn't that great? You can call him and ask for his help to rescue those two girls. "
Li Rui laughed and said, "Great my ass. He's my enemy, not my friend. But you can get to know him. Maybe you can use him later. His name is Yu Nan. He's the son of the Provincial Secretary. His wife is the Deputy Director of the Provincial Government's General Office. She's currently divorcing him. He's a pervert and once organized a couple's party. Also, if you need his phone number, I can give it to you … "
Yang Xiang didn't reply. Li Rui didn't know what to do.
Li Rui continued to use his binoculars to observe Han Shui, Yu Nan, and the others. He noticed that Han Shui and Li Bing only walked Yu Nan for about 20 meters. They shook hands and said goodbye. Then, a woman dressed like a manager stood beside Yu Nan and led him to Baihua Park.
Li Rui only felt that the female manager who led the way was somewhat familiar. He stared at her for a while. Then, the woman turned around and revealed her face. Li Rui took a closer look and was shocked again. God of Heaven! Why were they all old acquaintances tonight?! Was this a gathering of old acquaintances?
The female manager was Zheng Meili. She used to be the lobby manager and supervisor of Qingyang Hotel. She was also the mistress of the acting mayor, Yu Heping!
Zheng Meili wasn't a simple woman. Initially, she was a nobody. Then, she accidentally clung onto Yu Heping's thigh. Since then, she was unstoppable. Her position and power rose steadily. When Li Rui and Li Xiao Yue felt threatened by her, they plotted to get rid of her. Who knew that this woman, with the support of Yu Heping, returned to Qingyang Hotel as a supervisor. She became even more arrogant and the threats she created became greater. She even threatened Dong Jieyu, the general manager of the hotel. Li Rui was forced to act again. He teamed up with the fortune-telling expert, Fat Monk Fa Yu. They made use of Yu Heping's superstition to trick Yu Heping into driving this woman away.
Since then, peace had returned to Qingyang Hotel, and Li Rui had gradually forgotten about this woman. He even felt that he would never have the chance to deal with her again in this life. Who would have thought that he would actually see her again in this sudden rescue operation tonight? Tsk … He had to admit that Qingyang Hotel was too small. Or perhaps, they were destined to meet? But why did she suddenly appear in the Imperial Dragon Palace and become a manager? Could it be that Yu Heping arranged for her to come in? In other words, did Yu Heping already know Han Shui? And they had a good relationship? If that was the case, he and his boss would have to be very careful when they wanted to completely eliminate Han Shui. They absolutely couldn't let Yu Heping know about it. At least, before the operation started, they absolutely couldn't let Yu Heping hear the slightest bit of news.
Li Rui frowned and said in a low voice, "Sister, Yu Nan is walking towards the entrance of Hundred Flowers Park. A female manager is leading the way beside him. I know that female manager. Her name is Zheng Meili. She is also an old enemy of mine. She is cunning and very sharp. You must be careful later. Don't let her see through you when you encounter her. "
Yang Xiang said in a low voice, "Why do you have enemies everywhere you go? What kind of person are you? "
Li Rui smiled bitterly and asked, "Where are you now?"
Yang Xiang said, "I'm at the corner between the second floor and the roof. I'm hiding on the roof beam now. No one can see me. Don't worry."
Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "You're really good! How did you get up there? How can you get up on the roof beam in high heels? "
