The sky gradually darkened.
Love Week. Zhou Wei hurriedly walked into his office. Soon, he took out a camera from his bag.
A camera is a very good camera with a long lens.
Zhou Wei did not bother removing the camera lens, and immediately took out the camera's memory card and inserted it into the computer. He then operated the computer and tapped open the few photos that he had just taken.
The photo was of a two-story building Ye Luofu had lost. The photo was of Ye Luofu standing in the yard with his wife and Xu Taiping and Zhao Xiaohua. From the looks of it, these photos were taken from somewhere directly across the street from the building.
Then, Zhou Wei turned on a video in the camera.
The video also showed Ye Luoluo losing the two-story building. The video was filled with a lot of noise. Occasionally, one could hear Ye Luoluo talking to Xu Taiping and the rest, but it was very quiet.
Zhou Wei used the audio processing software on his computer to slowly remove the noise from the video. In the end, all that was left was Ye Luo's voice talking to Xu Taiping.
"This is your sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law …"
The sound was not loud, and required special processing to be heard clearly.
"Hahaha, what a pleasant surprise, what a pleasant surprise!" Zhou Wei slapped the table excitedly.
In the past two days, he had followed A-Biao's instructions to take pictures of Zhao Xiaohua, but the whole process hadn't gone as smoothly as he had expected, because Zhao Xiaohua didn't have anything worth taking pictures of himself. She had no bad habits, and was either in a room or a movie room, nor was she close to any of the actors. The only thing worth mentioning was that Zhao Xiaohua was very close to the investors in the movies she was currently making.
However, as Hong Kong's number one lackey, Zhou Wei had his own ways.
Since Xu Taiping could sense his presence so easily, he used the method of shooting by mistake. Therefore, shooting by wrong time was something that Zhou Wei had researched himself, and a simple way to understand it was to shoot by wrong time.
He did not follow Xu Taiping all the way from the hotel to the hotel. Instead, when Xu Taiping got on the taxi, he wrote down the number of the taxi Xu Taiping was riding on, and then he used the driver's identity information to contact the taxi. After paying the driver a good fee, Zhou Weiqing easily found out where Xu Taiping and his friends were getting off from.
Xu Taiping did not even notice that someone was following him. After that, Zhou Weiqing asked around along the way, finally finding Xu Taiping's destination, which was the two-story house where Ye Luo was staying.
In order not to let Xu Taiping notice, Zhou Wei specially found a house about 300-400 meters away from the two-story house where Ye Luo's house was located. In the house, he used a long-focus camera to record the yard, and then used a military recording device to successfully collect the voices of Xu Taiping and his team members from a few hundred meters away.
Originally, Zhou Wei's goal was Zhao Xiaohua, but who would've thought that he would actually be able to capture Ye Luofei and his wife.
After all these years, no one had doubted that Ye Luo was single, not even Zhou Wei. That was because Ye Luo had hidden himself very well, and Zhou Wei had not expected that this time, in order to take pictures of Zhao Xiaohua, Zhou Wei would actually be able to take pictures of Ye Luoyan's wife. This was definitely news that weighed heavily on the news, and Zhou Wei hurriedly returned to his office.
"We can get rich again!" Looking at the video, Zhou Wei nodded his head in satisfaction and started to calculate.
On the other side, Ye Luoluo was in a small building on the second floor.
As they watched number seven gallop past the finish line, both Ye Luofu and Brother Qing were stunned.
"It seems that my luck is quite good!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"You've really hit the nail on the head!" Ye Luo Fu said in surprise.
"Did you really get it, or was it just a wild guess?" Brother Zhu asked.
"I did." Of course, he was not mistaken, he had truly noticed that the seventh horse's condition and explosive power was the best amongst all the horses. During his time as an assassin, Xu Taiping had specially studied horses and spent a great deal of effort to do so, so when looking at horses, Xu Taiping's gaze had far surpassed that of an ordinary person. However, Xu Taiping would not miss out on their discussion, lest they become too curious, which would not be good.
"Like I said, how could the people of the mainland possibly watch our horse racing. But your luck is really good!" Ye Luo laughed.
"Alright, time to eat!" Ye Luofu's wife carried the dishes out of the restaurant and said with a smile.
"Alright!"
There was no need to elaborate too much on the process of the meal. Ye Luo and Brother Qing were both extremely sociable people. Moreover, Xu Taiping had a good impression of the two of them, so they had a hearty meal.
Around 8 PM in the evening, the dinner was almost done. Ye Luo, Brother Wang, and Xu Taiping poured half a cup of iced wine each and went up to the second floor together.
On the balcony of the second floor, the three of them looked off into the distance.
The lights in the distance were bright.
The entire city was lit up by lights.
"Who would have thought that two hundred years ago, such a beautiful city would be snatched away by the colonists!" Ye Luofu sighed.
"We should thank our country. It is because of the strength of our country that Hong Kong City was finally able to return to our motherland." Brother Zhu said.
"Right now, the people of Hong Kong are living and working in peace, the people of Hong Kong and the people of mainland China are interacting with each other. In my opinion, there is no longer any distinction between them." Ye Luofu said.
"Indeed, more than a hundred years ago, the mainland came to Hong Kong to obtain the permit. Now, we don't need it anymore and have built so many bridges connecting us to Hong Kong and Macao. I think our ancestors would be pleased if they could see such a prosperous era!" Brother Zhu said.
Xu Taiping stood at the side. He was not a citizen of Hong Kong, so he had never lost so much to Ye Luo, but he had been abroad for many years, and he had a deep understanding of his brother's claim that a country was rich and powerful, that people who had never stayed abroad could never truly understand the true nature of a powerful country. Xu Taiping was abroad, and had fought many wars, and he understood one thing very well, weak and had no diplomacy, but when it came to international affairs, as long as you were strong, no one would dare point their fingers at you.
"Brother Taiping, you know …" Just as Ye Luo Yuan opened his mouth to reply, his phone suddenly rang.
"I'm sorry, please wait a moment." Ye Luo said apologetically. He picked up his phone, walked to the side and picked up the call.
"Hello, who is this?" Ye Luo asked.
It was unknown what was on the other end of the phone. Ye Luofu's expression changed as he said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
The other side of the phone continued to speak, Ye Luofu's face turned extremely ugly.
"What do you want?" Ye Luo asked.
There were a few words on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, but I have to make sure that you deleted all the photos and videos. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to give you the money … "Okay, okay. Tomorrow morning, in front of me, you will hand over the excellent plate to me and write down the guarantee. Okay, see you tomorrow!" After saying that, Ye Luo hung up the phone and walked back to the side of Xu Taiping and the rest.
"What's wrong?" Brother Zhu asked.
"Zhou Wei even found out about my wife's existence! He even took a photo and video!" Ye Luo Chen said with an ugly expression.
"What?" Zhou Wei? How did he find out? Could it be that he has his eyes on you? " Brother Zhu asked in surprise.
"I don't know either. All these years, I've been hiding very well, and this time I used the same old method to get rid of all the puppies before coming here. I really don't understand why he would come here!" Ye Luofu shook his head.
"So he called you now to ask for money?" Brother Zhu asked.
"En!" Ye Luofu nodded and said, "I asked for thirty million."
"You agreed?" Brother Zhu asked.
"I can only agree. You know, my wife is just an ordinary teacher and no one knows that I am her husband. I don't want her life to be affected, so all I can do is give her the money." Ye Luofu said.
"However, Zhou Wei does not have a good reputation. I was afraid he'd expose you after he took the money. " Brother Zhu said.
"That's why I need to sign an agreement with him." Ye Luo's expression was serious as he said, "I will meet up with him tomorrow morning to discuss in detail."
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Xu Taiping said.
"You?" Ye Luo looked at Xu Taiping in surprise, asking, "What are you going to do with me?"
"Let's meet this person called Zhou Wei. He's actually able to win a bid for you, he's really powerful!" Xu Taiping said.
Hearing Xu Taiping's explanation, Ye Luo didn't suspect him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, then let's go together!"
"En!" Xu Taiping nodded. Ye Luo lost and Brother Qing didn't know why Ye Luo lost his wife, but it didn't mean that Xu Taiping didn't know either.
Of course, Xu Taiping knew that it was not exactly accurate. Xu Taiping had guessed that someone had been taking pictures of Zhao Xiaohua recently, so Xu Taiping suspected that he might have lured that son of a bitch named Zhou Wei over here, and in the end caused Ye Luo to lose his picture. As such, he had to see Zhou Weiqing tomorrow.
