After Lin Kai and Tang Huimin led the team away, Zhao Wenlong realised that the problem was serious and that he was in a difficult position and could not sit on his hands. After hesitating, he took out a number from his mobile phone and dialed it.
The call went through.
Zhao Wenlong said, “Hello, Political Commissar Sun, this is Zhao Wenlong, the chairman of the Long Python Group of Companies, and I would like to ask you about something.”
Sun Weimin responded, “So it’s Zhao Dong, you’re the one who has nothing to do, what’s the matter, just say it!”
Zhao Wenlong opened the door and asked, “Do you know about the kidnapping of Song Lina, the chairman of Mingyuan Group Company, and the murder of several security guards?”
“Of course I know, what’s wrong?” Political Commissar Sun replied.
Sun Weimin was the political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, that is, the second-in-command of the Public Security Bureau, and was ostracized by the director, Xiao Wenbin, and seldom intervened in criminal investigation matters, but this incident had become a big deal, and he was still quite aware of it.
Zhao Wenlong said indignantly, “Tang Huimin, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, suspected me of this case, thought it was my bodyguard, Big Head, who led the men to do it, and even brought people to my office to search it, which is simply outrageous, do you know who gave the order for this?”
“I’m not very clear about this matter, I think it was Xiao Wenbin who gave the order, right? Otherwise, who would dare to touch you, a famous entrepreneur and the man of the hour in Yanjing City?” Political Commissar Sun replied.
“Xiao Wenbin, this turtle grandson, actually dared to swing me down from behind,” Zhao Wenlong cursed from his heart and said helplessly to Sun Weimin, “What kind of big shot am I? In your eyes, I’m just a lamb at the mercy of others who can do whatever they want to do.”
“You mustn’t say that, I don’t think like that.” Sun Weimin said discontentedly, “How can they suspect an entrepreneur like you, who has made special contributions to Yanjing City, for no reason? It’s just a pity that I’m not in my position and I can only be a monk for a day and ring the bell for a day in the bureau.”
Zhao Wenlong seductively said, “You are only so pessimistic because you are suppressed by Xiao Wenbin and have suffered from a nest egg, I do have a way to let you have a hand in the Municipal Public Security Bureau.”
“What solution?” Sun Weimin asked with a slight interest.
“It’s not easy to talk about this over the phone,” Zhao Wenlong said after some thought, “How about this, at seven o’clock this evening, I’ll treat you to dinner at the Yanjing International Hotel restaurant, and we’ll talk over dinner, what do you think?”
“Sure, as long as Zhao Dong can come up with something good, when the time comes, no one will dare to go after you.” Sun Weimin readily agreed.
“That’s fine,” Zhao Wenlong said with great joy in his heart, “At seven o’clock tonight, I’ll have them leave 888 elegant rooms at the Yanjing International Hotel, we won’t see each other!”
“I won’t see you again!” Sun Weimin said, and then hung up the phone.
……
It was 6:50 pm.
When Sun Weimin arrived at the entrance of Yanjing International Hotel in his own special police car, Zhao Wenlong had already called the hotel’s welcome lady, Qiao Li, to wait there.
“Hello, Political Commissar Sun,” Qiao Li saw Sun Weimin get out of the police car and hurriedly greeted him, smiling, “Zhao Dong will be here soon and asked me to take you upstairs first.”
Sun Weimin had once hit on Qiao Li, but Qiao Li never gave in, and when they met, they looked a bit awkward, and with a smile, they followed Qiao Li to the lift and got into it.
As the lift rose, Qiao Li was silent.
Sun Weimin had been thinking about what Zhao Wenlong had told him on the phone and hadn’t put his mind on Qiao Li, who was beside him, and didn’t say anything.
The lift was a little eerie and somewhat dull, so much so that the two only slowed down when the lift went up to the 26th floor and the doors opened.
They looked at each other and smiled, then walked out of the lift together, pa*sed through the corridor and arrived at this luxurious suite of 888 elegant rooms that Qiao Li had prepared in advance for Sun Weimin.
“Political Commissar Sun, please sit down!” Qiao Li let Sun Weimin sit down on a soft sofa, brewed a cup of Nanshan coffee for him and placed it on the coffee table before asking tentatively, “Political Commissar Sun must have something important to talk to Zhao Dong about when he visits our hotel at this time, right?”
“Also …… is not an important matter, mainly a little matter that I want to discuss with your Zhao Dong.” Sun Weimin said perfunctorily.
Qiao Li was afraid that this old man would leave her behind, smiled politely and said, “In that case, I’ll leave you guys alone, Zhao Dong will be here soon too ……”
“Okay, go ahead and get busy!” Sun Weimin said awkwardly.
This old man had something on his mind tonight, even if Qiao Li was pretty, he was not in the mood for that now, and was even more afraid that when he and Zhao Wenlong were talking about things later, there would be outsiders present.
“Alright then, please ask Commissar Sun to wait a little while while I go and see if Zhao Dong has arrived?” Qiao Li bade farewell to Sun Weimin and walked out of the elegant room before she took a long breath and headed towards the lift.
The lift door opened and Zhao Wenlong stepped out of the lift. Seeing Qiao Li standing at the entrance of the lift, he asked, “Xiao Qiao, has Political Commissar Sun arrived?”
“Yes, he’s waiting for you in the elegant room.” Qiao Li replied.
“Where are you going to go now?” Zhao Wenlong asked tentatively.
“I’m not on duty tonight, so if there’s nothing else, I’m going to go home,” Qiao Li explained, fearing that Zhao Wenlong would reprimand her, “Political Commissar Sun said he had something to discuss with you, so I won’t bother you.”
It was clear that Qiao Li did not want to stay with Sun Weimin.
Zhao Wenlong instantly saw through Qiao Li’s mind and said with a smile, “Qiao, it’s been hard work, since you’re not on duty, go home and rest!”
Hearing that Zhao Wenlong had let herself go, Qiao Li was relieved and said, “Thank you, Zhao Dong, I’ll go back first, if there’s anything you want to do, just give me an order.”
“Okay, you go back!” Zhao Wenlong waved his hand at Qiao Li and turned around to walk in the direction of the elegant room where he was entertaining Sun Weimin.
Only when Zhao Wenlong walked into the elegant room did Qiao Li’s tense nerves relax, and she couldn’t wait for the lift, so she went straight down the safe pa*sage, jogging down the stairs like a trot.
……
“Zhao Dong, you’re here, tell me, what exactly is your idea?” When Sun Weimin saw Zhao Wenlong enter the room, he hurriedly stood up from the sofa, judging from the high and mighty look he usually displayed in front of Zhao Wenlong.
“Political Commissar Sun, please sit down!” Zhao Wenlong gestured for Sun Weimin to sit down again before taking a seat on the sofa opposite to him and asked, “Political Commissar Sun, don’t rush first, let’s drink while we talk, what do you think?”
“Okay!” Sun Weimin nodded his head.
“Alright then, wait a minute,” Zhao Wenlong smiled at Sun Weimin, got up and walked to the door of the room, pulled it open and shouted to a waiter standing at the door, “Serve us food!”
The waiter brought in the meal and set it on the table, then entered the room with a bottle of pure imported French wine, two hears of drinks, a tray of gla*sware and two goblets.
He placed the wine gla*ses on the table, uncorked the wine with a corkscrew, poured it into the gla*sware, then poured the drinks into the gla*sware and mixed it well, poured most of the wine into the two goblets respectively, smiled at Zhao Wenlong and said “Chairman, please enjoy your meal” before leaving the elegant room.
Zhao Wenlong lifted his gla*s and said with a smile, “Political commissar Sun, we are usually busy, so it’s rare for us to get together, here, let’s toast you first!”
Sun Weimin picked up his gla*s and said cheerfully, “Yes, cheers!”
After clinking their gla*ses, Zhao Wenlong picked up the gla*sware and poured it into two tall gla*ses respectively.
After a few gla*ses of wine, Sun Weimin couldn’t help but ask: “Zhao Dong, you can now tell me what can be done to make my hand in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, right?”
