C295 Evading
Su Xiaoxiao ran and jumped with all her might. She grabbed the upper end with both hands. With the strength of her arms, she easily climbed to the upper level. The same method was repeated and she easily climbed up to the third level. He was only one step higher than Qi Jincheng.
The two hid behind the wall, chose a good angle, and sat down against the wall.
Su Xiaoxiao rummaged through her bag for a while and finally found a black mini earpiece. After fiddling with it for a while, she handed it to Qi Jincheng. "Put this on. You can hear the conversation below."
Qi Jincheng took the item and stuffed it into his left ear.
Su Xiaoxiao's hand was on the earpiece to adjust the frequency.
She noticed that the route those people took was different from what the two of them had imagined. The headphones only collected and increased the volume at that time. After that, it became quiet again.
The two of them waited for about 20 minutes before they heard voices. ...
"Didn't we just see each other? Why did the other party request to meet again today?"
"The higher-ups said that we should do something. I can't guess what the higher-ups are thinking."
"Come on, I'm just afraid of attracting the attention of the police so frequently. A few of our brothers just came out a while ago..."
From the sound of it, it sounded like two people were talking.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned against the wall and tried to control her breathing as much as possible. She did not make too much noise to attract the other party's attention.
She secretly paid attention to Qi Jincheng and found that he was also very careful.
These people were very careful.
Su Xiaoxiao used all her strength to investigate. In the end, she only found traces of their existence from some clues. But even more, she could not find any evidence of their existence.
Just like a ghost.
Su Xiaoxiao did not know that Qi Jincheng had similar thoughts as her.
As the person in charge of Qi family for so many years, Qi Jincheng had gotten in touch with a lot of information that outsiders didn't know about through his identity.
There was a period of time when he was interested in the cooperation of the three parties and sent people to investigate it. However, he was not much stronger than Su Xiaoxiao and could not tell anything.
He had even gone to the unfinished building to take a look, but one of the parties had withdrawn their funds and the other had disappeared. The construction funds of the workers were not paid off, but the work did not get the reward that they deserved. In a fit of rage, the workers pieced the remaining materials together. They destroyed the unfinished building.
Perhaps it was because there weren't enough materials, but the damage was only within a small area, not large.
At that time, he hadn't paid too much attention to this, but now that he thought about it, the damage they had caused should have been significant.
Perhaps the part they had destroyed back then was the small hidden space within the building that they had absolutely built back then. Regarding this kind of large-scale investment of building, the officials weren't interested in the size of the building, the actual room rate of each floor, and the literal difference. They would not strictly look at it.
As long as they used some methods in the middle, it would not cause too much of a stir.
If Lan Yan did not remind them in the past, then Qi's, as the last owner of this big building, might even be able to operate with great effort for many years.
Even if they racked their brains, they would never have thought that when this building was being built, someone had secretly built a small heaven and earth for illegal transactions.
Even if their actions were exposed one day, they could just push the blame onto the Qi family. No one would have thought that the investor who built this building back then would be the scapegoat.
The two of them thought further and further. At the same time, the voices in their earphones gradually became louder and louder.
Someone climbed up to the floor they had just stood on.
The people below only chatted for a while at the beginning. Then, they remained silent. The two of them did not dare to move casually and did not know what they were doing.
They could only wait quietly in the unknown.
After a few minutes, they heard someone carefully remind them, "They're here."
Coming?
Who came?
"Brother Su."
"Brother Su."
What Su?
Luckily Su Xiaoxiao was sitting on the seat, otherwise she would definitely make a sound when she staggered.
Even Qi Jincheng could not help but smile when he heard the two words Brother Su in his earpiece. He even turned his head to look at Su Xiaoxiao.
That gaze was very provocative.
Su Xiaoxiao also did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not expect that the mysterious contact person's surname was also Su.
It was really a great misfortune.
With the accident of "Brother Su," the two people's nervous mood eased up. Although they were no longer as nervous as before, they did not dare to act rashly.
Perhaps because she felt cold, Su Xiaoxiao leaned towards Qi Jincheng's side.
It was similar to what Qi Jincheng had guessed. From the time she called Brother Su until the end, the two parties had only left about 30 minutes ago.
To be on the safe side, when they heard that the people outside had all gone far away, they did not make any moves.
They cautiously sat on the spot for another twenty minutes before Su Xiaoxiao broke the silence in a low voice. "What was the deal they just made? I keep feeling that these two parties are not united. It is more like they are secretly testing each other's background."
Su Xiaoxiao recalled the contents of the conversation she heard in her earpiece and the general tone.
"They are indeed testing each other, especially in the beginning. The two of them mentioned in their conversation that according to the agreed time, we have already met some time ago. Why do we meet again now?"
Qi Jincheng's focus was clear. He analyzed smoothly and said, "Combined with the information that these people revealed intermittently, I feel that they are filtering."
"Hmm?"
Su Xiaoxiao still felt cold. She moved closer to Qi Jincheng and whispered to him, "Filtering what?"
"We are going to filter out the candidates for cooperation based on their power, credibility, and other conditions. If it is true, then he will really drag Qi's into a bottomless abyss this time."
Qi Jincheng's expression was serious.
He guessed that the other party was planning to turn this place into a very large gray trading zone, and use the flow of people in the building to cover up their true purpose.
Since the establishment of the Qi's Enterprise, it had always been close to the relevant policies in the country, and it also frequently took out its own money to fund it. That was why it had been safe for so many years.
If it was really used as a shield, then even if it was ten mouths, it would still be unclear.
If they really could not think of a solution, then the Qi's might have really come to an end.
Abandoning was the best solution.
Old Master Qi valued this company the most, and he might not be willing to do so.
After all, they were family with the same bloodline, and Qi Jincheng did not want to reach that step.1
If they were not at the end of their road, they might not be at the end of their road.
Qi Jincheng sighed and comforted himself in his heart.
He patted Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder gently and the two of them stood up. They moved carefully again. If the situation was safe, they would end tonight's trip.
