Chapter 386 - If There Was An Eavesdropping Card

This conversation alarmed Shi Lei as if he felt something.
A top family from Wudong...it had to be the Wei, Yu or Bai without a doubt.
Shi Lei was certainly going to decline Bai Shu’s offer, but now he had other thoughts.
It wasn’t possible for the Bai family to look for Vice Mayor Bai, but it was possible for both Wei and Yu family. If it was Yu family’s people who were contacting Vice Mayor Bai, the only reason to do that was to find a breakthrough point here and hope that the Song family would become a bystander. However, the possibility of this wasn’t high either. If the Wei family really wanted the Song family to do something, they were likely planning to go straight to Xixi for them and not contact Vice Mayor Bai in Runzhou. It would only make the Song family feel disgusted with them unless the Song family already rejected Wei Ye’s request.
By comparison, Yu Banzhi had the highest chance of contacting Vice Mayor Bai.
However, Shi Lei couldn’t understand why since Yu Banzhi had already seen Secretary Song. No matter how well the negotiation went, it seemed unreasonable to talk to Vice Mayor Bai.
But Yu Banzhi still had the highest possibility.
Bai Shu picked up the phone again, “Brother Shitou, I just wanted to be closer to you. We are going to be in the same family sooner or later, right? If you really don’t like events like the one last night, we don’t have to go. What about finding a place and drinking a little?”
Bai Shu originally thought that he had to put more efforts in, but Shi Lei unexpectedly agreed.
“Since you already organised a party, we should go. If you, the organiser, doesn’t go, how can the others party?”
“Huh? Brother Shitou, you agreed? Awesome! In fact, it doesn’t really matter. They are happy even if I’m not there since they are not going for me. Brother Shitou, give me your address. I’ll drive and pick you up. There’s no need for both of us drive a car if there’s only two of us.”
Shi Lei agreed and sent his address to Bai Shu through WeChat. Bai Shu replied saying that he lived close and that he will be there in about ten minutes.
Shi Lei put on his jacket and told his parents before leaving. There was some distance from his house to the front of the factory and the time was just right.
It was the same Audi as last night when he approached. The car wasn’t even completely stopped when Shi Lei heard Bai Shu’s exaggerated voice, “Brother Shitou, you are so early. The weather is cold and I thought I’d call you to come downstairs after I arrived.”
Shi Lei pulled the door open and climbed in, “It’s fine. I just left.” Silently, Shi Lei was contemplating how he could subtly make Bai Shu tell him who was coming today. But perhaps Bai Shu didn’t know either and Shi Lei needed skills if he needed Bai Shu to ask his father.
The engine started again and Bai Shu spoke as he accelerated, “Brother-in-law, are you too shy? You actually have interests in those long legs, right? They are Westerners after all. Although they are Russian, it still counts. Brother-in-law, don’t worry. My lips are sealed and I won’t tell Sister Shui anything.”
Shi Lei’s head began to hurt and thought, who would believe that your lips are sealed if you talk so much? Bai Shu’s mouth was much looser than those Russian models’ belts.
“I’m not interested in those.”
“What? You didn’t want to go at first but suddenly you changed your mind, meaning that you must have some ideas in your head. It’s fine. It’s normal for men. Even if Sister Shui knows about it, she would let it go. Brother-in-law, if you don’t play as much as you can when you are young, you won’t have a chance to play after you are married. Sister Shui, tsk… Haha, of course, you know her better than me. Oh, by the way, is Sister Shui manly when she’s alone with you? Aiyo, sorry, sorry. I’m not intentionally trying to intrude your privacy, but I’m just curious. Sister Shui acted like a boy ever since she was a child and I couldn’t really understand.”
Shi Lei couldn’t follow Bai Shu’s words. This child didn’t need a conversation as he could talk to himself for an hour. If De Yun She took him in, they would’ve had a successor to an individual crosstalker.
The point was that Shi Lei really couldn’t say anything. Bai Shu spoke too much of what he thought and Shi Lei couldn’t explain anything to him.
After pondering for a while, Shi Lei changed the topic, “Bai Shu, I heard your Dad’s voice when I called.”
“Oh right, Dad wanted me to wait for my Mum to come back first, but immediately let me go when he knew that I was going to hang out with you. With this alone, I’m telling you that you are definitely going to be my brother-in-law. My Dad doesn’t have any good impressions on any of my friends and it is you that made him let me come out. This means that the Song family’s grandpa or my Uncle Song has quite a good impression of you…”
Shi Lei randomly mentioned it and this child somehow related it to Song Miaomiao again. It looked like he really treated Song Miaomiao like his sister or even an idol.
“Your Dad is going out and now you are out. What can your Mum do if she doesn’t have the keys?”
“Well, there was no need for my Dad to keep me at home. He just needed an excuse to not let me go out. My Mum went to yoga and it’s not like he doesn’t know the place. He can just send a driver and give her the keys and that’s exactly what he was going to do later. Mum didn’t do it on purpose because she wanted us two to wait for her at home. But someone came from Wudong. The person was apparently from a big family. My Dad didn’t want to see them but he had to. How can I possibly stay at home… Hmm?”
Bai Shu was driving quickly and overtook a car when he was talking. But as soon as he overtook the car, he suddenly stopped speaking and gradually slowed down.
“What’s wrong?”
“I think that’s my Dad’s car,” Bai Shu turned around and looked back towards the car.
Shi Lei thought that it was really a coincidence. He couldn’t help but turn around. He saw that Vice Mayor Bai was driving himself and Shi Lei could see the person who was sitting in the front passenger seat clearly even in the darkness.
It was too familiar. Shi Lei knew who the person was from a dark silhouette.
Yu Banzhi!
It was really Yu Banzhi!
Shi Lei couldn’t understand why. Yu Banzhi already went to talk to Song family. Why did he have to contact Vice Mayor Bai?
“Hey, it’s really my Dad. He’s driving himself and it looks like the person in the car is really important. Well, better not to greet him or he’s going to scold me,” Bai Shu accelerated again as he spoke.
But Shi Lei asked, “Do you know where your Dad and the person are going?”
Bai Shu didn’t hesitate and replied, “Probably Qi. Not far from where we are going. It’s about a few hundred meters away. There’s a lounge there. My Dad usually goes there in private.”
Shi Lei nodded and hesitated whether he should go to the lounge and have a look there. He didn’t know whether being possessed by martial arts masters would help after using the card a few times. Shi Lei only felt that he was more powerful with better vision and agility. He hasn’t really tried to use qinggong(1) and run on walls like those in martial arts dramas.
How nice would it be if there was an Eavesdropping Card.
Bai Shu pointed to the side of the road, “That’s the lounge. It looks dead and silent. I don’t know why they like this kind of place.”
Shi Lei’s vision followed Bai Shu’s hand and heard a dog barking faintly.
Qinggong: The ability to move lightly without leaving footprints or the ability to climb walls. These abilities are often seen in martial arts novels and dramas.
