Chapter 1490 Eavesdropping

“You’re overthinking things; what problems would there be.” Suppressing the rising panic in her heart, Lee Er replied brashly, but her heart was on guard.

The moment any seemingly strange people or slightly more expensive car entered the county town, Wang Gui’s card-mates would come over and notify her. If they said something was wrong, then something must be wrong.

Restraining her breathing a little, Ye Jian squinted her eyes closed; in that case, Captain Xia and the others needed a cover before they came here.

The criminal element with the real name ‘Chen Jiafu’ had great influence in the county town. His cult shrouded the sparsely populated county town like a net. No wonder the police were being so cautious, also no wonder the Director requested military backup.

Without military backup, controlling their influence would be a difficult matter!

“If you say it’s no problem, then I’ll treat it as no problem. What are you going to do with the ‘goods’ outside? Don’t tell me you’re really going to bring her over to the Commissioner.” Wang Gui placed the wok on the gas stove. Turning around, she looked at Lee Er, who was leaning against the door again, the corners of her lips twitched, and she let out a mocking sneer.

Already someone nearing her forties, why are you still acting young.

Young referred to people like the ‘goods’ dawdling outside, not Lee Er, who was pretending to be so.

She had received a text early this afternoon, saying she was bringing over ‘excellent goods.’ The text message was praising so much, tsk tsk tsk, when she saw it, she thought this woman was delusional.

Who knew when they met each other. Did she realize Lee Er really didn’t exaggerate this time around? The girl was actually as pretty as a goddess.

“Here, I was wondering why you turned so generous? And actually brought such a young and beautiful girl back. Aren’t y’all even afraid after the Commissioner goes overseas, and would just abandon us?”

Wang Gui’s words had always been prickly. Lee Er was too lazy to argue with her, but that last sentence, her complexion changed a little. Wang Gui even knew that they were going overseas!

This matter, not many people knew about it, and Wang Gui was one of the people who wouldn’t know about it!

With a chill running down her heart, Lee Er straightened herself. If even Wang Gui knew about that, then was there anyone else who also knew about it?

The water in the wok was boiling and rising steam. Wang Gui, who dropped two handfuls of noodles and stirred with her spatula, didn’t notice the gloominess on Lee Er’s face. She looked sideways at the door, then gestured to Lee Er to stand by her side. “Last week, when I was delivering supplies over, I overheard the Commissioner contacting people outside, saying something like they needed to arrange going overseas as soon as possible. Say, is the Commissioner thinking of going overseas now?”

Since eliminating those policemen, the news outside was unusually tight. There were rumors that even the capital was alerted, but no one knew if that was true.

So she overheard about it, Lee Er’s heart relaxed slightly.

It was necessary to ask her if she had told others, for example, the husband whom Wang Gui was cheating on.

None of the people they sent out had returned, neither did they send back any information. Clearly, either they were captured, or they had been taken out by the police.

The night before yesterday, an international hotel in Tongzhou was supposed to go up in flames, that also didn’t happen.

Mister Charlie called, telling her that the Beijing specialists investigating them didn’t even stay in the international hotel; however, the Tongzhou police had deployed their men to surround the hotel!

If it wasn’t because he infiltrated the hotel with a foreigner’s identity and pulled out the six members in charge of arson, it was quite likely each and every one of them would be a sure catch for the police.

They were watched so tightly that traps were set to catch them; it was likely that there were already people infiltrating Yuyang, probably… there’s already people visiting the little county town in the shadows!
