"Yo! Giving up so soon?"
A hint of excitement flickered across Liu He's face. He had expected to last until noon today, after his massage. Now, it seemed the other fellow couldn't hold on.
This was for the best, avoiding prolonged complications. Director Yun was deeply suspicious, and he worried constantly. Following him meant a difficult life.
With this thought, Liu He eagerly took out his phone and stepped outside the shop to a relatively secluded spot. "Go ahead, what is it?"
The call was indeed from Dong Hua. However, Dong Hua stammered a bit on the other end of the line.
Sensing Dong Hua's difficulty, Liu He quickly volunteered, "Is it that kid Lu Feng who's holding up Zhang Ke? I knew it, that kid is no good, and he's troublesome. Wait, I'll give you some advice."
Interest was the best teacher. In the past few days, dealing with Lu Feng had become his hobby, and he had devised many ways to counter Lu Feng. He had meticulously considered each one, ensuring Lu Feng would have no comeback.
However, before Liu He could enthusiastically begin, Dong Hua's voice cut in, "Looks like it's not needed!"
"So Zhang Ke that guy is dealt with?" Dong Hua was playing games with him. While slightly disappointed that his advice wouldn't be used, as long as Lu Feng could be dealt with, it was fine. It also saved him the trouble.
As a result, Liu He's voice gradually calmed. "Then keep a close eye on it for me. Don't let that kid find any loopholes elsewhere, understand? There isn't much time, you must keep a tight watch no matter what."
"Alright, that's all!" Liu He said, about to hang up. He immediately planned to share this good news with Liao He Yun, to give him some peace of mind.
But at that very moment, Dong Hua became anxious. Because from the beginning until now, what Liu He was saying had nothing to do with what he wanted to say.
Fearing a complete misunderstanding if they continued, Dong Hua's expression immediately turned grim, and his voice grew serious. "Mr. Liu, no, no. The information I received is that the goods were loaded onto the trucks as early as eight or nine o'clock!"
"Impossible! Zhang Ke doesn't have that much guts!" Liu He was stunned at first, but then he quickly grinned and laughed.
Even if that old man had personal connections with the Lin family, he wouldn't be so unreasonable. After all, if he acted against them, the Dong family wouldn't let him off.
Hearing this, Dong Hua's voice became even more serious. "It's not Zhang Ke, it's not Zhang Ke. Lu Feng didn't even look for Zhang Ke."
"What? Are you sure? Is your information reliable?" Liu He's face changed drastically, and he frantically asked the crucial three questions.
Dong Hua was on the verge of exploding. With such a major event, how could he dare to play Liu He for a fool? Dong Hua's words were urgent, and though Liu He wasn't facing him, he could sense the man was about to cry through his voice.
"Mr. Liu, it's reliable, of course it's reliable. I specifically asked people hidden within the Lin family, and my people also went to the scene. The goods were indeed transported out."
This!
Simply!
Damn it!
Liu He couldn't find suitable words to describe his current feelings.
This kid is really something.
Liu He felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt. At the same time, a chill surged through him. If Liao He Yun found out about this, he would be in for it.
No, this wouldn't do. He had to find a way to protect himself. But how? Fleeing and abandoning his post at the last minute?
Absolutely not feasible. Because Liu He knew that Liao He Yun's people were everywhere in Southeast City. The moment he decided to help Liao He Yun, he was likely already being watched closely. Before he could even leave the city limits, he would suffer the same fate as Tang Shengtang. The thought sent shivers down his spine.
Since that was the case, there was only one way. Liu He suppressed the chill that reached his soles and quickly asked, "Besides me, who else have you told about this matter?"
Although Dong Hua didn't understand the implication, he answered truthfully. "Mr. Liu, this matter is of great importance, and I wouldn't dare to speak carelessly. As of now, I've only told you. But since this has happened, it's likely that soon, more than just you and I will know!"
Hearing this, Liu He's face, which had been filled with despair, suddenly showed a glimmer of hope. "Very good. Remember, don't mention this again. Also, didn't you send your people to follow? Ask him which warehouse the goods were transported from."
Although Liu He knew in his heart that paper could never wrap fire, he understood Liao He Yun's personality even more. If he went to Liao He Yun now without offering any constructive suggestions, he would be doomed. The more polite Liao He Yun had been to him before, the more terrifying he would see him become.
Therefore, Liu He had to at least figure out who had helped in this matter. Based on his intuition, even now, he didn't believe that the Lin family alone would have such residual strength.
"Okay, I'll send you the information later!"
After Dong Hua finished speaking, only the busy tone remained on the phone.
Liu He put away his phone. His intention to relax was completely gone. He found a chair outside the shop for pedestrians to rest and maintained a calm demeanor, though his heart was in turmoil.
Now, every second was enough to determine his fate. But the crucial point was that the control of his destiny was not in his hands, so how could he not panic?
At this moment, he could only hope that Dong Hua would work quickly.
Liu He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, each second feeling like an eternity. Just as his inner anxiety was about to escalate into uncontrollable frenzy, the message from Dong Hua arrived like timely rain.
Liu He quickly read it carefully, and soon, the questions in his mind were resolved. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Indeed, someone had helped. The reason they went to Zhang Ke later now seemed to be a diversion tactic.
That's right, yesterday, not only he himself but also Liao He Yun had fallen for this cunning plan. This was not something to be proud of, and Liu He should have been furious upon realizing it.
But at this moment, his mindset was very calm. Because he had discovered a loophole.
"Lu Feng, you calculated everything, but you probably overlooked this!"
