Chapter 85: Something in the Bag
Han Zun Hotel.
This is one of the top luxury hotels in Wuning City.
Tonight, the old leader from the city arranged a dinner here, but the real attendees were just a few old perverts.
However, to alleviate Li Jingyi's discomfort, the old leader brought two female leaders to accompany them.
As the third-ranked official in the municipal party committee, Vice Mayor Zhang Yonghong was quite a significant figure. Despite being fifty-five years old, he looked just over forty.
He had no resistance to the charms of a mature beauty like Li Jingyi, captivated by her every move and smile.
The last time Li Jingyi asked him to introduce her to Chairman Ma of the Red Era Group, he immediately agreed.
The matter was settled, and both parties reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Naturally, Zhang Yonghong wanted Li Jingyi to "repay" him.
This weekend, Li Jingyi specially prepared gifts to meet him and spent the afternoon drinking tea with him. Unexpectedly, the old man wouldn't let her leave and arranged a dinner for the evening.
In short, if Li Jingyi gets drunk tonight, she would be in his grasp.
Upon hearing that someone wanted to harm Li Jingyi, Lin Hao was determined not to let anything happen to this beautiful sister and immediately called Ling Feng, asking them to come to Wuning City to assist in the operation. B#r%o%ugh!t to you by the f@olk^s at M#V%|#LE!M!PY.R!.
Currently, Ling Feng and his team, equipped with sophisticated gear by Lin Hao, hadn't had much opportunity to use it. This was a perfect chance to do so.
A business van set off towards Wuning City, carrying Ling Feng and his team.
After arriving at Han Zun Hotel, Lin Hao parked the car downstairs and went directly to the front desk to inquire, obtaining accurate information.
To be honest, he hadn't expected that it was Vice Mayor Zhang Yonghong of Wuning City who wanted to invite Li Jingyi to dinner, and the room booked was the most luxurious, the Supreme Beauty Hall.
It must be said, in order to woo a beauty, this vice mayor spent a lot.
Having obtained the room information, Lin Hao returned to the car, parking it in an alley behind the hotel.
Soon, a business van arrived, parking behind his car, and Lin Hao got out and jumped in.
"Boss!" Ling Feng and his team greeted him.
"Ling Feng, Monkey, Poisonous Snake, take a seat. We have plenty of time to prepare."
Lin Hao sat down, offering cigarettes to them, and lit one himself.
"Boss, what's going on?" Ling Feng exhaled a cloud of smoke, asking.
"Here's the situation: Secretary Li called, saying that someone invited her to dinner tonight with obvious ill intentions. It's at seven this evening, at the Supreme Beauty Hall of Han Zun Hotel. Our task is to ensure her safety without offending the top city officials, so they don't make things difficult for Secretary Li..." Lin Hao summarized the situation.
Ling Feng turned to his two teammates and said, "Monkey, pull up the floor plan of Han Zun Hotel, see if we can look at the layout. Poisonous Snake, can you sneak into the Supreme Beauty Hall and plant listening devices?"
Monkey quickly tapped on his keyboard, soon finding the internal layout of Han Zun Hotel, shocking Lin Hao completely.
"This blueprint, did you... hack into the construction bureau?" Lin Hao could hardly believe it.
"Boss, these are basic skills. If you wanted to hack into the government or police systems, I could manage that too," Monkey boasted.
"Monkey, you're impressive! I didn't expect you were so capable!" Lin Hao sighed in admiration.
"Boss, we are a top-notch special operations unit. If we can't handle this, it would be a joke," Poisonous Snake laughed.
As he spoke, he had already changed into a suit, transforming himself into a dashing young master from a wealthy family.
Lin Hao stared in astonishment at Poisonous Snake's transformation, his mouth agape, enough to fit the largest duck egg from a market.
"Boss, Poisonous Snake specializes in tracking and assassination. Disguise is a necessary skill," Ling Feng smilingly explained.
"Impressive!" Lin Hao couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.
Rustling...
Poisonous Snake opened the car door and got out, while on Monkey's laptop screen, a small window popped up showing the footage from a button camera on Poisonous Snake's collar.
"Boss, should we investigate this Vice Mayor Zhang Yonghong?" Monkey asked.
"Know your enemy and yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger. If you can investigate, check his background," Lin Hao nodded slightly.
Monkey immediately started typing away, soon pulling up Zhang Yonghong's information.
"Boss, here's Zhang Yonghong's profile for you to check out," Monkey handed the laptop to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao examined it and found that Zhang Yonghong was already fifty-five, looked very young in the photos, and his resume was quite impressive.
At that moment, Lin Hao remembered the diary and USB drive left by Secretary Zhang, having only glanced at them briefly but seemed to recall something about Zhang Yonghong.
Unfortunately, for safety reasons, Lin Hao had hidden the diary and USB drive in a very secure spot, planning to study them later after returning home.
Because if those two items were made public, many officials would be implicated, and Zhang Jianming was likely killed because of it.
"Monkey, I'm going in. Guide me." The microphone relayed Poisonous Snake's voice.
Lin Hao returned the laptop to Monkey, and on the screen, Poisonous Snake had already walked into the lobby and was heading towards the elevator.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the lobby, a server blocked his path, slightly bowing, and asked, "Sir, are you here for dinner? Which hall?"
"The Supreme Beauty Hall," Poisonous Snake calmly replied.
In his sharp suit, wearing shiny polished shoes reflecting perfectly, and oozing with the aura of a rich second generation, it was enough to convince the server that he was indeed a guest of the Supreme Beauty Hall.
"This way, please!" The server bowed and led him to the elevator.
Meanwhile, he pressed the shoulder radio and said, "The distinguished guest for Supreme Beauty Hall on the nineteenth floor has arrived. Please receive them!"
"Received!" Came the response over the radio.
After Poisonous Snake entered the elevator, the server bowed again, watched the elevator doors close, and then turned away.
"Floors seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen of Han Zun Hotel are the dining areas. The Supreme Beauty Hall is at the end of the nineteenth floor. After exiting the elevator, turn left to the end," Monkey directed.
"There's surveillance everywhere. Won't my whereabouts be exposed?" Poisonous Snake asked with a bitter face.
"Don't worry. I've already hacked into their surveillance system, and after you leave, I'll erase all traces of you," Monkey smiled reassuringly.
"Thanks a lot, Monkey!" Poisonous Snake grinned mischievously.
