Hou Zhenhan took the tapping device in his hand, carefully examined the appearance of the tapping device, then he shook his head. “This tapping device works by transmitting analog signals because it only uses one button cell battery. Therefore, the transmission power is minimal; it can only be received in the building, only a few rooms near the CEO’s office. If it is further away, it will be invalid. Therefore, when Liu Chan and Qu Daming ran away, they won’t hear our conversation now.”
“That’s good!” Bao Sanli breathed a sigh of relief. He was an uneducated person. He was not like Hou Zhenhan who retired from the special forces with some investigative and anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
Ming Yang Security Company was directly under the charge of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan. Liu Chan and Qu Daming hadn’t infiltrated into the company yet. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. If anything happened, they really didn’t have anyone to use.
When Bao Sanli’s order for capture was issued, the personnel who were idle in the Ming Yang Security Company immediately acted, and the security personnel who had already been on duty in some entertainment venues began to pay attention.
However, it was as if Liu Chan and Qu Daming vanished from the face of the earth. After discovering that the two were missing, Bao Sanli sent some people to watch their residences, but unfortunately, they did not return. No other people were in the residences!
In this way, it also confirmed Little Wang’s words. Liu Chan and Qu Daming had a great unshakable relationship with the company’s deficit. It seemed that Liu Chan and Qu Daming had prepared for it. That meant they probably had conspired to escape long ago. Today, the inspections of Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were just an opportunity for them to escape!
The two of them had already prepared for a way to escape. If something wrong happened, they would be able to retreat immediately. It wasn’t so easy to find these two people now.
“What should we do?” Bao Sanli was out of options at the moment. If you asked him to fight, he would be stronger than anyone else, but now, Bao Sanli obviously didn’t know what to do to analyze the whereabouts of Liu Chan and Qu Daming.
“First, report to Brother Yang, then go to the offices of Qu Daming and Liu Chan to search if there are any valuable clues. Let the security guards be always vigilant!” Hou Zhenhan hesitated and said.
“Yes, I will inform the security guards and let them be vigilant!” Bao Sanli nodded and said, “Brother Yang…” When it came to reporting to Yang Ming, Bao Sanli was a bit timid. After all, this was caused by his own founding members. It had nothing to do with Hou Zhenhan, so if Yang Ming got angry, he would vent his anger on Bao Sanli first.
“Let me say it then.” Hou Zhenhan also knew Bao Sanli’s difficulty at the moment, so he patted Bao Sanli’s shoulder and spoke with a smile.
Bao Sanli glanced at Hou Zhenhan with gratitude, but he did not say anything more. He quickly took out his phone and called his underlings to inform them.
Hou Zhenhan dialed Yang Ming’s phone.
Yang Ming was on the way to school. It was a little early today. Yang Ming couldn’t let Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, and Zhou Jiajia see him and Wang Xiaoyan going to school together, so he could only drive to the school earlier.
Before arriving at school, Yang Ming’s mobile phone rang. Yang Ming glanced at the caller ID; it was Hou Zhenhan, so he picked it up. “Big Hou, what’s the matter?”
“Brother Yang, when Baozi and I checked the accounts of Ming Yang Entertainment… Liu Chan and Qu Daming escaped!” Hou Zhenhan did not explain too much, but he directly said the main point. He told the original story to Yang Ming, “We found a small tapping device in Guo Jianchao’s office…”
“Escaped?” Yang Ming frowned after listening. “What did they do?”
“The company’s financial power and purchasing power were the responsibilities of Liu Chan and Qu Daming. They both followed Guo Jianchao’s orders on the surface, but they did the opposite behind his back. They had stolen the company’s money during this period. Now, the company still owes the suppliers and renovation workers more than one hundred thirty million yuan!” Hou Zhenhan said, “When we wanted to use coercive measures against them, we found that the two had already escaped.”
“Oh?” Yang Ming had long suspected that Liu Chan and Qu Daming had problems, but he didn’t expect the problems would be so severe! Although one hundred and thirty million yuan was nothing to Yang Ming, the money from Li Zhichun in Singapore was hundreds of times more, but these were two different matters. Song Jiang was his foundation; if the foundation were corrupted, everything would be gone.
“Brother Yang, Baozi and I failed to manage the company well; please punish us!” Hou Zhenhan also knew the seriousness of this incident. Hearing that Yang Ming did not speak, Hou Zhenhan thought that Yang Ming was angry and wanted to blame him.
“I know Liu Chan and Qu Daming; it has nothing to do with you. These two people are Baozi’s founding members; Baozi is in a difficult situation too.” Yang Ming sighed. “Tell him not to get angry. He has a responsibility for this, but I will not pursue responsibility indiscriminately. Everything waits until I get back!”
“Yes, Brother Yang, I will tell him later.” Hou Zhenhan heard Yang Ming’s tone, and he let out a sigh of relief. He knew that although Yang Ming was a little angry, he had not reached the point of being shamed into anger. Bao Sanli wouldn’t be severely punished for that.
“Right, have you asked people to search for the whereabouts of Liu Chan and Qu Daming?” asked Yang Ming.
“All the security guards in the company are searching for them,” said Hou Zhenhan.
“Just try your best.” Yang Ming comforted Hou Zhenhan slightly. He hung up the phone and looked at Wang Xiaoyan who was confused. Yang Ming explained, “There is something wrong within my company; I can’t go to school. I will drop you off at the school entrance later.”
“En.” Wang Xiaoyan was a sensible person. Knowing that Yang Ming said that there was something in the company, it must be a very important thing, so Wang Xiaoyan did not hesitate.
After passing through the school gate, Yang Ming stopped the car to let Wang Xiaoyan get off at the school gate. When he saw Wang Xiaoyan enter the school gate, Yang Ming immediately started the car and left the school, heading to the headquarters of Ming Yang Entertainment.
Wang Xiaoyan hadn’t gone to school for a long time. A figure ran toward Wang Xiaoyan. “Yanyan!”
Wang Xiaoyan frowned suddenly. She felt somewhat disgusted, but she still tried not to get angry. “Coach Li? Why are you here?”
The person that came was Li Deding, Wang Xiaoyan’s former long-distance running coach. (See Chapter 0982: Teasing)
“Yanyan, I was invited to train students here. The university sports meeting will be held!” Li Deding said smugly. He enjoyed this feeling of being respected. “Yanyan, do you want to participate? I can just say one word to enroll you!”
“I’m sorry, Coach Li. I haven’t practiced long-distance running for a long time. Besides, I don’t want to develop in sports!” Wang Xiaoyan had goosebumps being called “Yanyan” by Li Deding. Yang Ming and her dad also called her Yanyan, but Wang Xiaoyan only felt sick hearing the words coming out from Li Deding’s mouth.
“So what if you didn’t practice? Don’t you have me? I will train you separately to keep you in the national competition. At that time, when you are invited by the national team, then you will be able to make a fortune! How many people dream of this opportunity?” Li Deding said quickly, “At that time, you can really have anything if you win the championship of the world competition!”
Li Deding made an empty promise to bait Wang Xiaoyan. In fact, Li Deding also understood how was it so simple to get a place in a competition? But to get Wang Xiaoyan, Li Deding didn’t mind exaggerating the facts. After all, he didn’t really lie!
“Is it? Hehe, I think it’s good now. I don’t want to be a champion; I don’t want to be famous.” Wang Xiaoyan shook her head.
“It’s always a good thing for university students to participate in the event, right?” Li Deding still lobbied.
How could Wang Xiaoyan not know Li Deding’s thoughts? Seeing that he was still chattering, she said, “Coach Li, in fact, my boyfriend doesn’t like me to practice long-distance running. Okay, I am going to class.”
Wang Xiaoyan told Li Deding that she had a boyfriend to warn him to restrain himself. However, it would have been fine if Wang Xiaoyan did not mention it; Li Deding was outraged when he heard about Yang Ming! Yang Ming used the reason of reversing the car to bump into him; Li Deding still suffered a grievance. When he heard Wang Xiaoyan say that, he immediately remembered that his phone still had photos of Yang Ming eating a meal with another woman!
So, Li Deding was overjoyed and quickly said, “Yanyan, wait a minute! When it comes to your boyfriend, I have an important message to tell you; it is about the happiness of your life!”
“En?” Wang Xiaoyan was going to leave. When Li Deding talked about Yang Ming, she was astounded suddenly and stopped. “What is it?”
“Your boyfriend is dishonest!” Li Deding said in a mysterious voice, then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He then opened the photo album and placed the mobile phone in front of Wang Xiaoyan. Then, he deliberately put his head near Wang Xiaoyan’s side.
Wang Xiaoyan was somewhat disgusted and turned her sideways to look at Li Deding’s mobile phone screen.
On Li Deding’s mobile phone screen, it was a group of photos of Yang Ming. The protagonists of the photos were Yang Ming and Zhao Ying. Seeing them talking and laughing, they really looked like a couple who were in love!
However, Wang Xiaoyan had long known about the relationship between Yang Ming and Zhao Ying. Moreover, Zhao Ying liked Yang Ming before Wang Xiaoyan liked Yang Ming. If she wanted to take this matter seriously, it was Wang Xiaoyan who owed Zhao Ying!
Therefore, after Wang Xiaoyan saw the photo, she understood Li Deding’s meaning. He wanted to take this opportunity to let her feel that Yang Ming was having an affair, so she would give up on Yang Ming! However… how was Yang Ming having just an affair? Wang Xiaoyan understood Yang Ming the most!
“What’s the matter?” Wang Xiaoyan looked at Li Deding’s mobile phone and asked faintly. The restaurant in the background of the photo was like the Sichuan restaurant near the Huashang District where she lived. She had gone there with Yang Ming several times.
“Your boyfriend and another woman are eating alone, and they were talking and laughing. Isn’t that telling you something?” Li Deding didn’t think that Wang Xiaoyan could see anything. He thought Wang Xiaoyan said this due to her pride. However, Li Deding didn’t mind exposing this to Wang Xiaoyan. Only in this way, the deeper Wang Xiaoyan was hurt, the more chances he had to get Wang Xiaoyan.
“Oh, but what’s the matter?” Wang Xiaoyan smiled faintly. “I know the person in the photos. She is my boyfriend’s high school math teacher. It is normal for my boyfriend to invite her to a meal!”
“What? This person is his math teacher in high school?” Li Deding was astounded; he did not expect to get such an answer.
“Yeah, is Coach Li thinking that a student and teacher can have an unusually intimate relationship?” Wang Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled. “Coach Li, your thoughts seem to be wrong, right?”
“This… Then…” How could Li Deding not hear it? Wang Xiaoyan used this matter to criticize him, telling him not to have any improper thoughts of her. It was impossible between a student and a teacher!
“Hehe, if you have nothing, then I will go first, Coach Li.” Wang Xiaoyan maintained a polite and appropriate manner. She waved to Li Deding and quickly moved in the direction of the teaching building.
“F*ck!” Li Deding cursed and spat on the ground of the school. “Motherf*cker, my effort is in vain. I didn’t expect her to be the teacher of this kid. I’m even rebuked by Yanyan. It’s really unfortunate. No way. I must get my face back! Hmph, Wang Xiaoyan, don’t be proud. You will belong to me sooner or later. I have never failed in hooking the woman that I, Li Deding, am fond of!”
“Spitting on the ground; you are fined for fifty yuan!” An obese old lady walked up to Li Deding and grabbed Li Deding who was about to leave.
Li Deding was displeased in his heart. He didn’t expect spitting on the ground would get him entangled with an old lady. He was annoyed at the moment. “Who are you?”
“I belong to the school logistics; I’m responsible for school hygiene!” The old lady snorted, tore off a fine receipt and handed it to Li Deding. “Give me the money!”
“I am also a staff member; I am a school teacher!” When Li Deding saw this old lady was being serious with him, he quickly explained.
“School teacher? Why haven’t I seen you before?” The old lady took a look at Li Deding, and then said, “Moreover, the school teachers should lead by example! Stop the nonsense; hurry up, and pay the money!”
“Pay what money? Do you know who I am? I am an expert invited by the school! A coach!” Li Deding glanced at the old lady. “Hurry and let go. If you want money, ask for it from the school leaders!”
“What’s the matter? You even want to sneak away after you spat?” The old lady grabbed Li Deding’s sleeves, preventing him from leaving.
“Let go!” Li Deding immediately got furious, seeing that the old lady dared to make a move. “I’ll count to three. I’m telling you that I am teaching sports; if you don’t let go, you will bear your own consequences! One! Two! Three!”
“Pa!” A crackling sound.
A loud slap hit the face of Li Deding; the red mark of a palm appeared on his face suddenly.
“What? You still dare to threaten me?” The old lady blinked and said, “You practice sports? I was practicing judo in the past; I can just simply hit you! I’ll tell you!”
Li Deding was stunned being hit by the old lady. Now he knew how powerful the old lady was. The average person didn’t have this strength. Looking at the size of the old lady again, Li Deding also believed the old lady. This old lady was not simple. If he were to be serious with her, then it must be he who suffered.
Li Deding was helpless. Since he couldn’t win against her, he just had to pay! He had no choice but to take out a hundred-yuan banknote from his pocket and give it to the old lady. He said with a sullen face, “Please exchange fifty yuan for me.”
The old lady took the money from Li Deding, then she wrote another fine receipt and gave it to him with the previous receipt. “I don’t have small change. I’ll give you another receipt; later, you can spit again!”
“Ah?” Li Deding was stunned. He didn’t expect the old lady to be so overbearing. He saw the small change in the old lady’s bag, but apparently, because Li Deding’s attitude was so bad, the old lady deliberately framed him!
He still wanted to say something, but the old lady had gone far away. Li Deding was very helpless, but he could only eat humble pie. Looking at the fine receipts in his hand, Li Deding snorted. He shredded them into pieces and threw them in the trash can on the roadside. He did not want to keep these kinds of shameful things.
Li Deding walked in the direction of the gymnasium. The more he thought about the matters, the more resentment he had. He was a sports coach, but he was actually framed by an old lady. He was really useless!
Thinking of this, Li Deding spat on the ground again. He had paid the fine anyway; he might as well spit once more!
However, as Li Deding just spat, an old man appeared abruptly in front of Li Deding. Even Li Deding, the former long-distance running champion, was amazed by his speed!
“Spitting on the ground. You are fined for fifty yuan!” The old man shouted.
Li Deding’s eyeballs nearly popped out. “I was just fined for one hundred yuan. The person didn’t have small change to give me, so she let me spit once more!”
“Oh?” The old man obviously knew the style of the old lady. Listening to Li Deding, his attitude turned better. “Can you show me the receipt?”
“Ah? Receipt?” Li Deding’s face suddenly turned green. “I thought it was useless, so I just threw it away!”
“Threw it away?” The old man’s face changed, and he snorted. “Are you trying to fool me? Hurry up and pay the money!”
Li Deding didn’t anticipate this incident; he hesitated and ran away. He didn’t want to explain it. He noticed that the other person was an old man, so he couldn’t catch Li Deding. It was unlike the powerful old lady.
Li Deding thought that as long as he ran, the old man would be helpless. When he met Li Deding again, he would have no proof. That phlegm would have already evaporated!
However, the old man caught up to Li Deding before he could run far!
