“I remember you said that Liu Yuou had never seen this man’s face, didn’t you?”
“That’s right,” Li Ze said, “Liu Feifei has been lying to Liu Yuou and said that the owner of the Rose Club is her husband.”
“If Liu Yuou hadn’t ever seen him, I really feel that this person hasn’t called Liu Feifei,” Li Jiaxue said, “Actually, I can’t say that they didn’t call, I should say that they might use a network voice tool like QQ or WeChat to keep in touch with Liu Feifei. This person is very cautious. He must have thought about how he would protect himself after the Rose Club is destroyed by the police someday. In the premise of protecting himself, it’s the basic way to connect with Liu Feifei without using a phone number.”
“He can’t protect himself like that because Liu Feifei knows him. As long as she wants to drag him down, he’ll be caught by the police very soon.”
“Let’s start with Sun Xiaobin, leave Liu Feifei till later.”
“Fine.”
After chatting for a while, Li Jiaxue’s WeChat prompt tone rang.
Taking it up for a look, Li Jiaxue said, “Sun Xiaobin’s uncle is called Sun Miaosheng. He is the general manager of a construction company. Sun Miaosheng has a bad reputation. He had been in prison for two years for committing homicide five years ago. Actually he was sentenced to twenty years, but he was released because there was someone who admitted that he was the real person behind the murder. In addition to this case, Sun Miaosheng was summoned for interrogation or trial several times. He also liked real estate speculation, and he made tens of millions because of the soaring house prices. And he is well-acquainted with the leaders of certain departments, kind of fraternizing with each other. In truth, officials aren’t frightening to him. What frightens him is a role under umbrella. An official would lose his job once being reported. However, even such a person is reported, he would be able to live happily as long as there isn’t any substantial evidence. If his friends in officialdom help him, the reporter might befall on evil days.”
After listening to Li Jiaxue’s words, Li Ze said, “It seems like this person is a gangster.”
“It must be,” said Li Jiaxue. “Five years ago, another construction company competed with the construction company he owned. As a result, the general manager of the rival company was killed. Because they had conflict of interests, the police targeted him as the suspect. Afterwards the pistol that was used to kill the dead was found in his house, and he was sentenced to prison. After that, it was probably because the public did not pay much attention to this case, so the scapegoat replaced him.”
“That is to say, Sun Xiaobin really is a character we can’t pick on?”
“This is the bargaining chip that he dares to have designs on your wife.”
“Then it’s troublesome,” said Li Ze. “If I use violence against him, he’ll probably tell his uncle to avenge him, but likewise If I’m indifferent to it, he will do something similar again. Anyway, I want to pry his mouth open, I want to find out what he knows about my wife.”
“Actually, I have a plan.”
“What plan?”
“Guo Jiajia is still the beauty of the Rose Club. She will spend the night with the members from time to time, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then sacrifice her,” Li Jiaxue said, “She was raped at school by Sun Xiaobin, and she didn’t dare to call the police because of his coercion. Several months have pass, the evidence must have become irrelevant or unavailable. So even if Guo Jiajia went to the police, the police wouldn’t be able to place a case. However, if Guo Jiajia is raped by Sun Xiaobin again and Sun Xiaobin leaves his sperm in her body, the situation will be totally different. When the consensus is stirred up at that time, even if Sun Miaosheng’s connections are quite effective, he can’t protect Sun Xiaobin as well.”
“The ultimate aim is to send him to prison, but the more important thing right now is I have to pry his mouth open.”
“You can make Sun Xiaobin’s mouth open before you call the police.”
“I know what you mean, but it doesn’t work,” Li Ze said, “According to our plan, we are going to use Guo Jiajia as the bait. If she is willing to cooperate, then Sun Xiaobin might be hooked up. But you have to know that such a plan is illegal, and it can even be defined as backstabbing. Once we are over determined like this, Sun Xiaobin will be safe while we have to go to prison.”
“You got a better idea?”
“If there were one, I would have told you.”
“Then sacrifice Liu Yuou.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Seeing Li Ze’s incredibly excited reaction, Li Jiaxue smiled and said, “You are that kind of a restrained man, you don’t like to talk about what you think. You remember I asked you a question before? Make an either-or choice between Liu Mi and Liu Yuou, who did you choose? As far as your reaction is concerned, I know you will definitely choose Liu Yuou. It looks like Liu Yuou is from a well-to-do family. She looks better than Liu Mi and her figure also has a larger space to be shaped.”
“She’s my student, so don’t talk nonsense.”
“But there’s a lot of gossip going round about you.”
“You knew that?”
“I don’t care anyway. I’m more concerned about you!”
Li Ze, who didn’t say anything after hearing Li Jiaxue’s words, gave out a long sigh like he did before.
At this moment, Liu Yuou called.
Li Ze finally connected after making a silent gesture to Li Jiaxue.
After he got through, Li Ze asked, “How is it?”
“Can’t find any chat history that can imply his identity, so I don’t know which one is him.”
“Thank you for all the trouble you went through for me.”
“Sorry, I didn’t help you.”
“Are you sleeping with your aunt in the evening, or are you going back?”
“I’ll sleep at my aunt’s home.”
“I’ll see you at school tomorrow morning, then.”
“Okay!”
“So be it, let’s talk tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Li Ze put the phone into his pocket.
He didn’t even know what to say when he looked at Li Jiaxue. She was a private detective, so if she wasn’t able to help, he really didn’t know who could help. If it wasn’t because he was afraid of Sun Xiaobin’s revenge, Li Ze would have really wanted to catch Sun Xiaobin directly and pry his mouth open by torture.
Neither spoke for the next ten minutes.
Not that they didn’t want to talk to each other, but they were thinking of a way to pry Sun Xiaobin’s mouth open without being avenged.
As the two of them were considering, Ding Jie was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at herself with a complicated expression.
