Chapter 1226 New Project
Lu Dingqian?
Cheng Daliang's face instantly showed surprise, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Dingqian.
He noticed that Lu Dingqian was not angry at all; in fact, his face even showed a hint of excitement.
Cheng Daliang was completely baffled. He was clearly doing something that might make him take the blame, so why did this guy seem rather happy?
Could it be that he simply didn't realize the seriousness of the matter?
Cheng Daliang looked at Ye Changqing with a worried expression and advised, "No matter who you let do it, they will have to bear serious consequences. I sincerely suggest that you reconsider."
Before Ye Changqing could speak, Lu Dingqian interjected, "It is my honor to be able to do what I can for Mr. Ye."
Cheng Daliang looked at Lu Dingqian speechlessly. This guy usually seemed quite shrewd, so why was he willing to be such a sucker?
What kind of charm does Ye Changqing possess that makes him willingly take the blame?
However, Cheng Daliang didn't have time to delve into these matters at the moment; what he was truly worried about was himself.
After all, once this matter is exposed, an investigation will thoroughly examine all the parties involved and participants, and he doesn't want to be dragged into this terrible vortex.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Daliang said, "How about this? If we can bring down Sister Tang and eradicate all the forces in her line of influence, then release that video, what do you think?"
According to Lü Shuyi's confession, Cheng Daliang felt that Sister Tang seemed to have intricate connections with many high-ranking officials.
As long as one faction along this line is not completely eliminated, he could become a target of retaliation.
Cheng Daliang studied hard all the way from the countryside to get into a prestigious university, and only then was he able to become a policeman.
Although he works as a criminal investigator, a job that carries considerable risk, he cherishes it dearly.
He silently endured any grievances or suppression he suffered on a daily basis, because he knew that this was reality, something that people without powerful connections had to bear.
However, he genuinely loved this job. The salary was stable and secure, the benefits were good, and the job was prestigious. He really didn't want anything to go wrong because of this.
Ye Changqing smiled slightly and said, "Alright, we'll announce it after we've uprooted it completely." With that, he strode inside.
Seeing how easily Ye Changqing agreed, Cheng Daliang felt even more uncertain. But since things had come to this point, he couldn't dwell on it any longer, so he could only follow closely behind Ye Changqing inside with a heavy heart.
Lu Dingqian's lips curled up slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
He had been worried that after finishing this task, he wouldn't know when he would have another chance to work for Ye Changqing. Now, things were much better; the Bee Gate mission wasn't even over, and a new mission had already arrived—this was exactly what he wanted.
Ye Changqing walked into the courtyard and saw a parking lot.
Every car in the parking lot was covered with a car cover. The silver covers reflected a dazzling halo under the sunlight, so bright it hurt the eyes.
He suddenly felt that he seemed out of place not having driven his car in.
Just then, a security guard approached and politely asked, "May I ask what brings you here?"
Ye Changqing now regretted not driving his car in. He walked in empty-handed, and the security guards didn't treat him like a guest at all.
He needed to find a way to salvage the situation quickly, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Let's relax a bit. Same as always, lead the way."
The security guard was slightly taken aback, then his face broke into a wide smile, and even his tone became more respectful: "Are you a member here?"
Ye Changqing replied irritably, "Otherwise, who would come here to play?"
Upon hearing this, the security guard became even more respectful, bowing slightly and smiling apologetically, "Welcome! Could you please tell me your membership number?"
Ye Changqing frowned and said impatiently, "I hate memorizing numbers the most. I forgot."
The security guard was taken aback again, but still said with a smile, "Then please tell me your name. I'm really sorry, this is our rule, and I can't help it."
Ye Changqing had been trying to intimidate the other party with boastful words, but if he revealed his name, he would definitely be exposed.
But he didn't want to alert Tang Jie and scare her away.
So he pretended to be angry and said, "When Sister Tang begged me to come here, she didn't act like this. Go tell Sister Tang that I've arrived and ask her to come out and greet me."
The security guard, still all smiles, said, "Boss, please don't make things difficult for me. We can only let you enjoy member benefits after verifying your membership status. Please take the trouble to tell me your name."
Seeing that he couldn't fool her anymore, Ye Changqing was about to barge in when a sudden idea struck him. He remembered Lü Shuyi. His face darkened as he said, "Lü Shuyi, Lü with two mouths, Shu as in 'book,' and Yi as in 'righteousness,' Lü Shuyi. Check if this name exists. If not, go in and ask Sister Tang if she looks down on me, Lü Shuyi?"
The security guard smiled and nodded, took out his phone, opened an app, and typed in the three characters "Lv Shuyi". A golden sun icon instantly popped up on the screen.
The security guard's face immediately showed a look of shock. As a security guard, when he usually checks members' information, he can't actually find any specific information about the members, such as their age, identity, occupation, etc. The system will only give an icon, which is divided into two types: moon and sun. The moon is further divided into silver moon and gold moon, and the sun is divided into silver sun and gold sun, for a total of four levels.
To his surprise, the person in front of him was a Golden Sun member; it was the first time he had ever seen such a young Golden Sun member. The security guard smiled and said, "So you're the most expensive Golden Sun member! Which courtyard would you like to visit? I'll take you there right away."
Ye Changqing was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to have gotten away with it. He knew nothing about the situation here and could only vaguely say, "I want to try the new activity, stop dawdling and lead the way."
The security guard smiled knowingly and said, "I understand, I'll show you the way right away."
The security guard walked ahead, slightly turned to the side, and occasionally struck up a conversation with Ye Changqing, who responded with indifferent replies.
As he walked, he carefully observed his surroundings. He then realized that this place was completely different from the outside world.
Stepping out of the parking lot and into the inner courtyard, the decor changes abruptly. An artificial stream flows gently down from a rockery, meandering into the inner courtyard.
The river was teeming with colorful koi carp—golden, silver, and red—swimming merrily in the water. The water was crystal clear, revealing the pebbles on the riverbed, the swaying water plants, and various uniquely shaped pebbles.
This was the first time Ye Changqing had ever seen such an exquisite river landscape. Moreover, the courtyard was planted with various rare trees and bonsai. As he walked along, it felt as if he were in a miniature landscape garden.
The stream flows forward, branching off into alleys every few meters, leading to either side, though it's unclear where these alleys lead.
They walked along the stream for about thirty meters when the security guard ahead turned right and came to a moon gate. The guard pressed the number "15" on the keypad lock, which was Lü Shuyi's membership number.
With a "beep," the moon gate slowly opened. The security guard gestured for them to come in, and said with a smile, "Distinguished guest, please come in. It's my honor to serve you, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you again next time."
Ye Changqing frowned. He had originally thought that he could go directly to the boss's office or ask the staff about the boss's whereabouts after entering. Unexpectedly, he was led to a secluded courtyard.
It seems the security guards can't go in, and he doesn't know what's going on inside.
But since we've come this far, we have no choice but to go in first and figure things out later.
He turned around and greeted Cheng Daliang and Lu Dingqian behind him, then strode across the threshold and entered through the moon gate.
