Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.
Chapter 24 Two Women, One Show
Song Qingtong remembered that Chen Li had mentioned the name Yuan Tao at the cargo terminal; he was the mastermind behind this deal.
His wedding tomorrow is certainly no coincidence.
The waiter had limited information, but had already gathered what he needed to know. Song Qingtong picked up the menu from the coffee table, ordered a set meal for three as a late-night snack, and said:
"I want this one, hurry up and send it over."
"Please wait a moment, guests. We will arrange for the kitchen to prepare your meal immediately."
The waiter made a note of it and then left.
Song Qingtong then said:
"That shipment is very likely mixed in with the lobsters that were transported here from the cargo terminal. If we go looking for them, we might alert them. I'll report to the organization now and ask them to find a way to locate the shipment through the hotel's internal staff."
Chen Li nodded and reminded him:
"It's best to play the long game and catch the big fish. We can take down both sides of the transaction when it happens tomorrow. Yuan Tao is just a scapegoat. You can use him to find out who's behind it all."
His main concern was that these people, eager to make a name for themselves, would waste the opportunity to send Yuan Tao in and kill him.
"I've been investigating for so long to catch the big fish behind the scenes. I understand this better than you do."
As Song Qingtong spoke, she stood up, dialed a number, went into the bathroom, and closed the door.
"Tch! Acting all high and mighty like that, what's so great about him!"
Mu Ningshuang had long since had enough of her; she pouted her pink lips, her face full of disdain.
Chen Li patted her leg and comforted her:
"Don't forget, our biggest opponent right now is Tiger from Juxian Chamber of Commerce. I'm not afraid of him, but I'm worried that your Mu family won't be able to handle it. After all, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
"I was followed again today. The one leading the group was a guy called Brother Jin. He had double eyelids, a gloomy look in his eyes, and a hooked nose..."
Mu Ningshuang continued:
"A long face?"
Chen Li nodded.
Mu Ningshuang confirmed:
"He is one of Tiger's Four Great Vajras, stronger than Lei Zhen. His name is Zhang Jin, nicknamed Night Owl. He is an extremely insidious and ruthless character. You have to be careful."
Chen Li sneered and said:
"He should be more careful. With this cat who specializes in catching mice around, it's only a matter of time before Tiger is wiped out. He can also help us relieve a lot of pressure."
Mu Ningshuang nodded, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.
"It's obvious she admires your skills. If you can conquer her in bed, she'll be able to share more of the pressure."
Chen Li looked at this profit-driven little devil with a horrified expression, even turning slightly to the side, as if trying to get away from her.
Mu Ningshuang chuckled:
"What, you think I'm unscrupulous?"
"After my parents passed away, I faced all sorts of pressures, from business and family to the underworld. Morality and righteousness were too luxurious for me."
"But don't worry, I'm still your soulmate, and I won't unilaterally break our contract and betray you."
"We have a business relationship and will not interfere in your private affairs. You can choose what to do."
Chen Li sighed:
"How pitiful that the prestigious and powerful Mu family couldn't even raise a mentally healthy child."
Mu Ningshuang fiddled with her braids, smiled noncommittally, and said nothing more, because the cat that caught the mouse came out of the bathroom.
"I have applied for assistance from the organization, and they are sending people to secretly infiltrate the hotel to investigate. We just need to wait for the results."
Song Qingtong sat down on the sofa, picked up an orange, peeled it, and asked:
"What are you talking about? Are you talking badly about me behind my back?"
Mu Ningshuang's Yin-Yang Dao:
"How could I dare? Chen Li said you are loyal, hate evil, are responsible, and beautiful. You must have been a school beauty in school."
"I told him to wake up; with his status, he has no right to pursue you."
Chen Li choked as if he had swallowed a sour date, his eyes wide, unable to defend himself. When it came to spreading rumors, Mu Ningshuang was undoubtedly unmatched.
Unexpectedly, even the usually serious Song Qingtong couldn't resist the flattery and chuckled, saying:
No one is perfect. I was indeed the school beauty before, and your boyfriend is quite outstanding, but don't treat me as a rival. It's not worth competing with someone to become a mistress.
"We noticed you at the cargo terminal. Chen Li is quite skilled. When you've decided to become my informant, contact me anytime."
Mu Ningshuang looked at Chen Li, her eyes seeming to say, "This is a good thing."
Chen Li looked away and didn't respond. He didn't think being someone's lackey was a glorious thing; he wanted to be an independent person.
The doorbell rang, and a waiter pushed in a food cart, placing a three-person set meal on the table. It included fish and shrimp, making for a refined and plentiful late-night snack.
Mu Ningshuang picked out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet that she thought was barely drinkable.
During working hours, Song Qingtong adheres to her principles and does not drink alcohol.
Mu Ningshuang and Chen Li ate and drank, much like a hip-hop guy and a rebellious girl enjoying a bourgeois feast.
While she was eating, Song Qingtong's phone rang.
She answered the phone and said "uh-huh" a few times.
After hanging up, she explained the purpose of the call:
"The organization has sent people to conduct an in-depth investigation. The goods are in a warehouse, and there are guards at the door. No one can get in. We need to go in through the ventilation duct to confirm."
"The wiring diagram for the ventilation ducts has been sent to my phone."
"Once the goods are confirmed, the action plan will be deployed, and the arrests will begin as soon as the transaction starts."
Chen Li wondered:
"us?"
Song Qingtong explained:
"You already know the entire operation plan of the special operations team. You either become an unofficial member to assist in the investigation, or you are arrested and interrogated to confess everything."
Chen Li said speechlessly:
"Is this the application report you submitted?"
Song Qingtong revealed a sly smile:
"You can understand it that way."
Mu Ningshuang swirled her wine glass and interjected:
"Brother Ali, it's rare for someone to give you such a high regard, so why not become her informant? But it's hard to say whether it will lead to a sexual relationship."
Song Qingtong was about to draw her gun again.
Chen Li quickly pressed down on her hand:
"OK!"
Song Qingtong then released her grip, giving Mu Ningshuang a cold glance:
"If it weren't for the fact that your grandfather and my grandfather had some connection, you would have been shot long ago for insulting a public official!"
"Let's get moving after we've eaten!"
