Chapter 115: Being Followed Again

  Xiang Tianliang didn't directly answer Li Yajuan's words, but smiled and said: "Sister Li, you also have things that haven't been told to me, right?"

  "How did you know?" Li Yajuan wasn't very surprised. She was just an amateur detective, while Xiang Tianliang was a professional.

  "When we went upstairs to find your sister-in-law, after getting out of the elevator, you were walking in front of me. Another elevator just happened to close its door, and even I saw the person inside that other elevator. You have no reason not to see clearly, especially since earlier when we were in your sister-in-law's office, your expression was as if you had something on your mind, more so than me being absent-minded. So I dare to conclude, you did see the person inside the elevator."

  Li Ya nodded and admitted: "That's right, I saw it, and I saw it clearly."

  "Is it Deputy Director Chen Wen-yun?"

  "It's Chen Wenyun."

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and asked: "When you went to the basement to get something, didn't you ask your sister-in-law? What did she say?"

  "Alas, Xiao Xiang, how come you know everything now?" Li Yajuan sighed.

  "You're my best partner, how could I possibly not understand you?"

  "Thank you." Li Yajuan stretched out her hand and touched Xiang Tianliang's leg, gently rubbing it. "I asked my sister-in-law, she said she didn't know Chen Wenyun at all. Before we went there, she hadn't received any outsiders either, which means she denied it. Of course, I didn't continue to ask further."

  He said faintly to Tian Liang, "Her denial just confirmed our judgment. The three cigarette butts in her office ashtray are fresh and won't exceed thirty minutes."

  "Xiao Xiang, this means that Chen Wenyun has set his sights on the things we have in the bank." Li Yajuan said worriedly.

  "Hehe, it's not just Chen Wen-yueh."

  "Anyone else?"

  "Hey Tian Liang, sister Li, look at the car behind us. That black Santana with a license plate ending in 38 is following us."

  Li Yajuan turned back and stared intently, and indeed she saw it, "Could it be, could it be Chen Wenyun's person?"

  "No, it should be another group of people." Xiang Tianliang said with a smile, "Chen Wenyun was the one we met at the bank, and that black Santana behind us had been following us since we left Deputy Director Gao's house."

  Li Yajuan glanced at Tianliang and said, "If I didn't ask, you wouldn't want to tell me, would you?"

  "Sister Li, don't get me wrong, I'm not here because I'm afraid you'll worry."

  "I'm not afraid, as long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

  Xiang Tianliang held the steering wheel with one hand and stretched out the other, gently stroking Li Yajuan's face. "Sister Li, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to do anything."

  Li Ya's body trembled, holding onto Xiang Tianliang's hand, and pressed it tightly against her own face.

  Now, intimate actions between two people have become very natural.

  A moment later, Li Yajuan looked back at the rear of the car again, "Xiao Xiang, what to do now?"

  Xiang Tianliang patted his chest and smiled confidently: "Listen to me, relax a bit, don't look back anymore, just pretend nothing happened."

  "They, they won't come and grab it, will they?"

  "Hehe, openly robbing shouldn't be possible, but secretly stealing, that's a definite possibility."

  "Why?"

  "Now that we have the goods in our hands, someone is keeping an eye on us. If anyone dares to take it openly, everyone will make him their target and he won't be able to rest easy."

  "Well, that's also true."

  "Now the situation is clear, even Chen Wenyun this old fox has emerged, indicating that more people are eyeing what's in our hands. As for Xie Zixuan, it's not necessary to mention him, on the surface he reached a peaceful agreement with me, but behind my back he must still be harboring evil intentions. Xie Zixuan's arch-nemesis Guo Qijun, Xie Zixuan's underling Yu Zhonghao, they have different goals, but wanting to get their hands on what I have is a common idea. In our Construction Bureau, that old guy Lao Chenggui dreams of getting back the three notebook photocopies every day, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well even in his coffin. Apart from this, Vice Director Sun Zhanlu won't give up either, his only way to become bureau chief is to use what's in my hands to stir up trouble, the more chaotic the situation, the more hope he has. Even our Deputy Director Gao Xing, wants what's in my hands."

  Li Ya-jun said: "Aren't you very dangerous?"

  "Haha, on the contrary, with these things in my hands, I am very safe. If others have these things, they will be very dangerous because they know that these things are a time bomb. I don't want the bomb to explode, but either side getting it would trigger this bomb."

  Xiang Tianliang's analysis made Li Yajuan deeply admire him, "Little Xiang, you're really a godly detective, you've grasped their psychology perfectly."

  "Sister Li, do you believe it or not? Both sides are thinking like this: they'll try every means to steal what's in our hands. When they can't steal it, they won't let others steal it either. If necessary, they'll even take the initiative to protect us."

  Li Yajuan finally relaxed her emotions, "Hehe, this is really too exciting and interesting."

  "Hehe, so let's just relax and do our thing."

  Li Ya-jun asked: "You haven't told me yet, what are you going to do with these things?"

  "Let's just help Deputy Director Gao out a bit and create a small bomb for him, whether it's useful or not is none of our business."

  Li Yajuan uttered an "oh" sound, "Xiao Xiang, I don't understand, how could people like Chen Wenyun possibly know that we're storing things in the bank?"

  Xiang Tianliang smiled slightly and said, "Analyzing it, they are all clever people, knowing I have nowhere to hide, and because of you, they will naturally think of your sister-in-law."

  Li Yajuan glanced at Tianliang and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You don't suspect my sister-in-law, do you?"

  Xiang Tianliang suddenly remembered the note Jiang Yuying had stuffed into his hand, and he thought to himself, it's not just suspicion, but serious suspicion.

  "But I said with a smile: 'How could I ever doubt your wife? After tonight, we'll still put the things back in your wife's bank.'"

  "Hmm." Li Yajuan nodded and said, "But why didn't she explicitly say that Chen Wenyun had approached her?"

  "This fully explains why it's hard to get started with things and must have something to do with what we're holding onto."

  "Why don't we give her a call and ask?"

  "Absolutely not," Tian Liang hastily said. "If others don't want to talk about it, we can't ask, or else it might lead to misunderstandings."

  The two of them returned to Li Ya Juan's home and got busy right away.

  All of this is technical work. Xiang Tianliang also learned to do it, selecting what he thought was needed from the materials at hand, especially cutting out dialogue recordings, which was a troublesome task.

  Almost worked till dawn for one person towards the sky brightening.

  Went to the bathroom to rinse his head with cold water, took a look at Li Ya Juan sleeping soundly on the sofa, and sat down towards the bright light.

  He took out the note Jiang Yuying had stuffed into his pocket.
