Chapter 242 Subtle
The song ends.

Ning Zhiyuan returned to his seat.

Qi Yue said: "Brother Yuan, when you danced tango before, it was like you were wrestling with someone, but in just a few days, you can dance like a pro."

Ning Zhiyuan chuckled: "Practice makes perfect, Meizhen's teaching is good."

Meizhen flattered him, "It's mainly because Brother Yuan is smart and quick-witted. If it were someone stupid, he wouldn't be able to learn no matter how hard you try."

Du Juan also chimed in, "That's true. When I first met Qi Yue, I taught him to dance tango. It took me a whole night, and he stepped on my high heels and broke the skin."

Meizhen covered her mouth and laughed.

Ning Zhiyuan laughed out loud.

Qi Yue also laughed.

The atmosphere is very convivial.

Ning Zhiyuan waved to the waiter and said, "I'm the host tonight, so don't be polite. Just order whatever you want to eat and drink. I've seen through it all. In life, it's all about eating and drinking. Enjoy each day as it comes!"

"Brother Yuan is absolutely right!"

Meizhen applauded enthusiastically.

Ning Zhiyuan was in a good mood: "One glass of whiskey for each person, double it. It's rare to be so happy, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!"

Qi Yue said: "Give me a cup of lemon tea."

Meizhen said, "Officer Qi, please don't spoil the fun."

Qi Yue apologized and said, "I've been drinking outside. If I drink more, the car won't be able to drive away."

Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Is the wine from Section Chief Gao's house good?"

"Brother Yuan, do you know everything?"

Qi Yue pretended to be surprised.

Ning Zhiyuan looked mysterious.

In fact, Qi Yue had already thought about having dinner at Gao Kejian's house tonight, including sending himself to Liujiabao. Given the relationship between Gao Kejian and Ning Zhiyuan, it was impossible for Ning Zhiyuan not to know about it.

Dujuan and Meizhen went to the bathroom.

Qi Yue asked: "Brother Yuan, Chief Gao trusts you so much, why doesn't he send you?"

Ning Zhiyuan said: "In the last arms smuggling case, Liu Wanchun came to the police department many times. He knows me. Not only me, but almost everyone in the secret service department is familiar with him. If you send someone else, he will definitely be exposed. You have to go."

"Oh, no wonder..."

"When are you going?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"When you go, you have to dress up nicely. It's best to get some old clothes. Liu Wanchun won't give you anything for free, so don't let him see any flaws."

"I know. By the way, last time in Kaoshantun, I wanted to arrest Liu Wanchun, but you stopped me. Was it because of this incident?"

Ning Zhiyuan admitted frankly: "Yes. I didn't tell you the truth at the time. I was just following orders. Section Chief Gao specifically told me not to tell anyone about the gold mine. I was worried that if you rashly arrested Liu Wanchun, it would disrupt Section Chief Gao's plan."

Qi Yue said with emotion: "Chief Gao is right. People have to believe in fate. Who would have thought that there is a gold mine hidden in the abandoned mine? That Liu Wanchun is really lucky."

Ning Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "Qi Yue, do you really believe in the gold mine?"

Qi Yue said: "Is this true?"

Ning Zhiyuan smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "To be honest, when Chief Gao told me this, I didn't quite believe it. If a gold mine had really been discovered, Liu Wanchun wouldn't have had to hide it. He could have applied for a mining license, purchased metallurgical equipment, and mined openly."

Qi Yue said: "The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. No matter how rich Liu Wanchun is, he is just a local rich man. He has no ability to keep such a large fortune, and it may even bring him death. Not to mention those far away, the big and small gangs in the mountains will definitely want to get a piece of the pie after knowing this."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Liu Wanchun alone, even if he bet his life on it, he can't afford the mining equipment. But he can find a strong company to cooperate with, such as the Manchurian Railway. With the Manchurian Railway as a backing, no one dares to take the gold mine."

Qi Yue frowned: "A country rich man, can he think so far?"

"Liu Wanchun couldn't think of it, but his son Liu Xiaochen certainly could."

"That's right, Liu Xiaochen has this insight..."

“That’s why I think it’s unreliable.”

"Where did Chief Gao get the information about the gold mine?"

"I don't know. Maybe some spy overheard it by accident." "Have you told Chief Gao about these things?"

"I said it, but he didn't believe it."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Sometimes, Chief Gao is very stubborn... Of course, I am just guessing. Only Liu Wanchun knows whether there is a gold mine or not."

Ning Zhiyuan sat up straight and looked at Meizhen who was walking towards him with her hips swaying. "That's enough business. Let's just talk about romance tonight."

"Ms. Meizhen is so beautiful."

Qi Yue said with admiration.

Ning Zhiyuan said with emotion: "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I have lived for more than 30 years. It was only after I met Meizhen that I knew what a real woman is. The previous 30 years were wasted."

As they were talking, Meizhen and Dujuan came closer.

Meizhen picked up the bottle and poured wine for Ning Zhiyuan: "Brother Yuan, drink more."

Ning Zhiyuan, under the influence of alcohol, caressed Meizhen's round buttocks: "If you drink more, you'll be drunk."

Meizhen smiled charmingly and said in a coquettish voice: "What's there to be afraid of if you're drunk? Tomorrow is a public holiday, and you don't have to go to work anyway..."

Alcohol and sex can mess up one's mind, and Ning Zhiyuan, who was addicted to them, liked this kind of life of debauchery more and more. This led to laziness and casualness in his work, and all this happened imperceptibly, without even him realizing it.

……

Nine o'clock at night.

In a dark room.

Jiang Bin and Sergei sat opposite each other.

"How did you come?"

Jiang Bin asked.

"Cough cough cough..."

Sergei coughed for a long time, then said: "I am dying."

Jiang Bin frowned: "Not really."

Sergei didn't waste any words. He quickly unbuttoned his coat and underwear, revealing his bandaged chest. He then untied the bandages to show Jiang Bin the black, pus-filled wound.

Jiang Bin asked: "It's been so long, hasn't Valokika found the serum yet?"

Sergei snorted coldly: "By the time he finds me, I will have already rotted to death."

Jiang Bin stood up and helped Sergei re-bandage his wound. After a period of recuperation, Jiang Bin recovered quickly and could walk independently with the help of a cane without the help of others.

Sergei looked gloomy as he buttoned his shirt slowly. "Valokika checked me and found that the poison in my body has already infected my lungs. If I don't get treatment, I'll cough to death even if I don't die of rotting."

Jiang Bin sighed: "Comrade Sergei, I can only express my sympathy for your situation. I am not a doctor and I can't help you at all."

"No, you can help."

"……How to help?"

Sergei coughed for a while and said, "I heard that the person who prepared the poison must have the antidote. Jiang, can you accompany me to Sophora japonica Lane to ask that damn Qi Yue for the antidote? I can't speak Chinese, only you can help me."

"Does Valokika know about this?"

"he knows."

"Did he agree?"

"He didn't object, but he didn't agree either."

"We can't act on our own until Valokka expresses his opinion. Besides, with my current physical condition, what can I do if I go? Not only can I not be of any help, but I will become a burden."

"Jiang, you don't have to do anything when you go there. Just be a good translator."

Jiang Bin said: "The question is, why would he be willing to give you the antidote?"

Sergei's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "I have checked. Qi Yue's girlfriend often goes to the library of Binjiang College to read books. As long as she is caught, Qi Yue will definitely give her the antidote!"
