Chapter Nine: The Big Order

  With a bewildered look in her eyes, Du Qingqing returned to the office, leaning against the door and happily hugging her phone. To confirm, she took another look at the bank notification message, 100,000, no mistake, a deposit of 100,000 yuan for finding someone. If found, she could get a reward of 500,000 yuan. Even if it was a trivial matter, there were rarely such big deals. She was too happy, and on the third day of opening her business, she had already received such an order.

  Du Qingqing came out of the office and thought for a moment before saying: "Li Fu, you're in charge of this one. You come with me."

  "Miss Du, this call was answered by Yu Ming," Li Fu reminded her.

  "It doesn't matter who answers, because it's already over 20,000. Youming is very good too." Du Qingqing subconsciously felt that Li Fu was much higher in status than Youming. Double PhD, diligent at work, handsome, and well-dressed. Youming, not to mention his other qualities, wore a T-shirt, jeans, and tourist shoes, which was just too low-class, at least not suitable for this 100,000 yuan client. Du Qingqing said: "Youming, you stay in the company to answer the phone, if something comes up and you need to leave, just transfer the call to your mobile."

  Li Fu nodded apologetically to Yu Ming, who smiled and indicated that he didn't mind. Then Li Fu and Du Qingqing went out together. As someone with experience in this line of work, Du Qingqing knew that the first place to look for was the police station where the household registration was located. This involved resident privacy, but Du Qingqing had her own methods.

  They're all gone, and Yu Ming easily struck a pose and lay down. He's been sleeping in the sauna room for the past few days, and his sleep time is clearly not enough. Having a chance to take a nap is also a beautiful thing. Li Fu, this person has problems. He is quite familiar with corpses, forensic doctor? Police? Or an executioner? Last night after work, Yu Ming followed Li Fu all the way to an apartment hotel. Inquiring at the front desk, he learned that Li Fu had only been in China for ten days. No matter what kind of visa it was, there was still a lot of time before it expired.

  Nai Qiu didn't have anything special about him, he was just a somewhat lazy normal person.

  Afternoon. No one came back, and Yu Ming was alone again. Yu Ming prepared to sleep for another shift, but unfortunately couldn't do so. A beautiful woman came, there were two people, one was a slender figure, wearing a suit, a pretty woman, the other was an old man with a cane. As a normal man, Yu Ming first looked at the beauty and then noticed her perfect legs. Then he noticed the old man.

  At the sight of the old man, Yu Ming's interest in the beauty decreased by seven points. Money is a bit more important than women. This old man is very rich, and truly wealthy people are low-key, this old man fits this characteristic. His hair looks ordinary, but it has been specially cared for. His gray suit and gray trousers are very outdated, but they are tailor-made, perfectly fitting.

  He stood up to greet her and pulled out Nian Qiu's chair for her to sit down, saying "Hello, please take a seat."

  "En." The old man nodded and sat down, his hands clasped behind him as he looked around.

  Yu Ming poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the old man, who smiled and asked: "Do you know me?"

  "I don't know him." Indeed, I didn't know him.

  "How did you know I drink tea?"

  Yu Ming smiled: "Because we are an investigative agency." There was tea stains between his teeth, and someone like him still had tea stains, which meant he drank very strong tea. Yu Ming said: "I don't know if there's anything I can help with?"

  The old man didn't answer and instead asked: "Young fellow, where did you used to work?"

  "I am a recent university graduate. I have no work experience."

  "It doesn't seem like it." The old man said: "I want to entrust your company to help me with something."

  "Of course."

  "I want to send something to an old friend, but I forgot the address." The beauty put a box on the table and also placed an envelope: "This 10,000 yuan is considered a deposit."

  Is this line really easy to make money? Yu Ming took out a pen and paper and asked: "I don't know your friend's surname."

  The old man smiled and replied: "His surname is Lin, Double Wood Lin. He was originally the chairman of the Lin Hai Group..."

  "Old sir, this consignment... isn't the money too much?" Yu Ming felt suspicious and said: "Actually, I suggest we get express delivery to send the goods to Lin Hai Group. I guarantee they will dispatch someone to hand it over to Old Man Lin personally. And it'll only cost twenty bucks."

  "Haha." The old man laughed loudly: "Xiao Ying, see that? Nobody wants the money even when it's being given away."

  "This is Mr. Du, the father of Mr. Du."

  "Oh..." Yu Ming was stunned.

  This expression was within Xiao Ying's expectations. However, she only knew the result, not the reason why. Yu Ming was stunned and didn't know what expression to use to show his emotions appropriately. Astonishment? Delight? Panic? In any case, shock was a must.

  Yu Ming thought for a long time, and then exclaimed in shock: "You, you are Mr. Du!" This expression is not bad. However, it seems that the timing was a bit slow. Moreover, Yu Ming's language habits did not include using the polite term 'you'.

  Mr. Du laughed and didn't even plan to stop. Mr. Du patted Yu Ming's hand, and Yu Ming helped him stand up. Mr. Du was still laughing: "Young man, it's really interesting, really interesting. Let's go."

  Yu Ming was laughed at very embarrassingly, but still escorted Mr. Du to the door. Xiao Ying saw Mr. Du smiling as he left and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, why are you so happy?"

  "Being amused." Old Mr. Du laughed and said: "Let's go check on my son's post."

  Yu Ming went to sleep as scheduled. He was not affected by Mr. Du's mood. Except for that smile, which made him feel a bit awkward. What really surprised Yu Ming was that around 6 pm, neither Li Fu nor Du Qingqing called, and when he dialed their numbers, the calls went straight to voicemail.

  It was Ni Qiu who arrived at the company at 5:50 in the evening and saw Yu Ming tidying up to get ready for work, asking "Where's the boss?"

  "I don't know."

  "Alas...the dog hasn't been found, an inauspicious start. Ni Qiu looked up at the wall clock and was surprised: "It's six o'clock, we can go off work now.""

  Sometimes being smart can be quite boring. You clearly know the other person is lying, but you can't expose them and even need to cooperate with their lies to cover up that you've already seen through their deception. Yu Ming nodded: "Get off work, get off work." Swipe card, still need to wait a bit.

  At 5:59, Li Fu and Du Qingqing suddenly appeared. Ni Qiu warmly welcomed them with apologetic words: "Boss..."

  Du Qingqing suddenly changed his demeanor, waving his hand to signal Nie Qiu to be quiet, and pushed open the office door to enter. Li Fu followed him in and locked the door with a swift motion.

  "It's time to get off work." Yu Ming picked up his travel bag and walked to the first floor to swipe his card, then left the company.

  Ni Qiu was at a loss, could it be that the boss had already found out about his absenteeism and was giving him the cold shoulder? Or did Li Fu have some untold secret with the boss?
