I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 128 Closing the Net

Seeing that Shen Qingrou was in a hurry, Ye Cheng said, "Haste makes waste. He took the card, but he hasn't used it yet."

Shen Qingrou countered, "Do you think he would dare to use it?"

He lived a very frugal life and didn't seem like the kind of person who would embezzle or accept bribes.

If he doesn't use the money in his bank card, are we just going to ignore him?

Ye Cheng asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly seem so anxious?"

Shen Qingrou said angrily, "Because the plot is not tight and too bland, no one is watching anymore!"

I want to catch the culprit who hurt Aunt Ge as soon as possible, so she doesn't have to live in fear like I do every day!

Ye Cheng said, "Alright, I'll do my best. You go back first, I'll go to his house and observe."

Shen Qingrou asked, puzzled, "Why do I have to go back first? Can't I go to his house with you and observe?"

Ye Cheng said, "You complained that it was too hard for you to practice your skills."

If you could do light-footed kung fu like me, you could come with me.

Shen Qingrou retorted, "Then I'll just drive and follow from a distance!"

Ye Cheng reached out and lightly flicked Shen Qingrou's forehead: "Be a good girl, I can make sure that my tracking is foolproof."

That guy is too vigilant; if he discovers us, all our efforts will be in vain.

Shen Qingrou wasn't being willful. She leaned over Ye Cheng's neck and bit him hard: "I'll teach you to flick my head."

Please be careful.

I practiced my skills as soon as I got back to the hotel.

The two left the library side by side. Ye Cheng placed the wheelchair in Shen Qingrou's car and watched her leave.

Then he took out his phone, turned on the tracker, locked onto the target, identified the direction, and quickly left.

The tracker was installed on Secretary Wei's electric car.

Before long, Ye Cheng caught up and carefully followed him to Secretary Wei's house.

Secretary Wei did not live in an apartment building, but rented a farmhouse in the countryside.

The rent isn't expensive either, only about 10,000 yuan a year.

High walls, a large yard, lived alone, incredibly quiet.

Ye Cheng leaped onto a large tree, hid himself, and quietly observed.

Secretary Wei returned home, locked the courtyard gate, went to the bedroom, turned on the light, and drew the curtains.

The bedroom light didn't go out until late at night.

Ye Cheng called Shen Qingrou and asked her to hack the surveillance cameras in Secretary Wei's courtyard.

Then he leaped into the yard, took out the master key, and opened the door.

They tiptoed through the living room and arrived at Secretary Wei's bedroom on the east side.

Ye Cheng thought about it for a moment, but ultimately did not rush to push the door open.

Instead, they walked around the living room but found nothing unusual.

Then we went to the west room.

He gently opened the door and saw that the west room was neatly arranged with bookshelves, so he knew that this must be Secretary Wei's study.

I wandered around the study and observed what books Secretary Wei was reading.

I actually found a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales.

However, it seems like it hasn't been looked at for a long time, and the surface of the book is covered with a layer of dust.

The bookshelves are filled with books on strategy, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Thirty-Six Stratagems, and the Thick Black Theory, etc.

Ye Chengzai carefully examined the contents but found nothing unusual.

The most likely location is Secretary Wei's bedroom.

Ye Cheng thought for a moment and decided to wait until dawn, after Secretary Wei had come to work, before going in to check.

He quietly slipped away, found a secluded corner, sat down on the ground, and waited for dawn.

While waiting, I called Shen Qingrou and told her about my next steps.

Before dawn, Secretary Wei rode his electric scooter to work. Ye Cheng watched the red dot on the tracker disappear into the distance, then called Shen Qingrou and asked her to hack the surveillance system.

He surveyed his surroundings, made sure no one was paying attention, then jumped over the courtyard wall, used the master key to open the door, and entered Secretary Wei's room.

But as soon as he pushed open the door, a bag of flour fell out.

Ye Cheng caught the flour sack with lightning speed and steady hands. He released his inner energy to envelop the flour sack, preventing the flour from scattering.

"Such caution is definitely suspicious."

Ye Cheng, carrying a sack of flour, wandered around Secretary Wei's bedroom.

The furnishings inside were quite simple, just a bed, a writing desk, and a wardrobe.

Based on his experience with Li Zhanyue's room, Ye Cheng first checked the wardrobe.

No abnormalities were found.

He glanced at the bed and thought it seemed normal, so he tapped it on the floor.

The exposed floorboards are all solid.

"That's strange. In such a small place, where could he possibly hide something?"

Ye Cheng was not giving up and knocked along the edge of the bed.

This tap had a significant effect; I immediately noticed a slight surprise.

He lifted the bed board, revealing what was underneath.

They removed the wooden planks from under the bed and tapped the floor.

dong dong dong~

It was indeed hollow.

Ye Cheng pushed hard, and the floorboard slid away, the lights came on, and the stairs were revealed.

Ye Cheng jumped in and went down the stairs into a basement.

I saw stacks of banknotes neatly arranged in one corner.

A rough estimate is fifty million.

Ye Cheng took out his phone and took a picture as evidence.

Quickly return outside, restore everything to normal, get away from Secretary Wei's house, and have Shen Qingrou resume monitoring.

"Did you find anything?"

"He dug a basement under the bedroom and kept a lot of cash in it."

"Why didn't you follow him sooner? If you had followed him sooner, you would have discovered this evidence sooner."

Ye Chengting was speechless: "But the time is not right yet."

If Li Zhanyue's affair hadn't been exposed, I would have continued to play the long game and catch a bigger fish.

Now that multiple lines of investigation are converging, it's time to close the net.

"Fine, whatever you say makes sense, as long as it's not just filler content."

Ye Cheng said, "I'll go find District Chief Xu to discuss the next steps."

"The Qingyuan Mountain project can resume normal construction. Should I send Miaowei to keep an eye on the site?"

Ye Cheng said, "Let her come over this afternoon."

Shen Qingrou suddenly changed her tone: "So you'll have time to accompany her to oversee the scene this afternoon, won't you?"

Oh, women...

Ye Cheng sighed: "Wife, you're doubting me again."

"Is not it?

You told her to come in the afternoon, but I'm telling her to go in the morning.

Ye Cheng's lips twitched: "Then what should I say if she asks where I am?"

Shen Qingrou was speechless: "This...this...I told you you had another mission."

"Okay, I'll go find District Chief Xu."

Shen Qingrou snorted and hung up the phone.

Ye Cheng did not swagger away, but tried to avoid the crowd.

When they were almost at the district mayor's office building, Ye Cheng made a phone call to Xu Menghao.

Xu Menghao had just finished a meeting and was planning to go out to inspect the work.

Ye Cheng's phone call made his heart skip a beat, as he thought something had happened.

He deliberately avoided the crowd and asked, "Brother, is something the matter?"

Ye Cheng asked, "Could we meet alone?"

Xu Menghao said, "I'm going to inspect some work outside later, so it's not convenient."

Is this important?

Ye Cheng said, "Where are you having lunch? I'd like to bump into you there."

Xu Menghao said with difficulty, "It's hard to say right now. Wait for my call."

"Could you please tell me what's going on now?"

"Is it convenient for you to listen?"
