Chapter 205: The Secrets of the Nightclub
"Am I supposed to keep an eye on this all by myself?" Ye Qingbai looked at Lu Ye reluctantly.
Lu Ye frowned. "Afraid?"
He lectured with a stern face, "Platoon Leader Ye, this little thing is no challenge compared to carrying out a mission in the middle of nowhere. Besides, it's not like I'm not coming back."
Ye Qingbai was certainly not afraid.
The main problem is that I'm all alone here, and it's lonely.
It's fine to let him guard it alone, but...
He rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Ye, then began to negotiate with him, "I can abide by the rules on my own, but you have to grant me one request."
"explain."
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Qingbai smiled slyly. "If I ever need anything from you in the future, I hope you can help me unconditionally."
Lu Ye readily agreed to Ye Qingbai's request, saying, "It's permissible if it goes against my principles."
"Absolutely no breach of principle." Ye Qingbai grinned. "Deal."
Ye Qingbai, carrying a camera, found a secluded spot and began his stakeout.
Lu Ye took the bus home.
He first sat down in front of Ye Qingbai's house, took his coat from the car and put it on, then drove back to the clinic.
Bai Zhi is busy inside right now. Today is the last day of clinic hours. A notice was posted at the clinic entrance yesterday, asking patients who need follow-up visits to come and pick up their medication as soon as possible.
Therefore, today's patients were almost all follow-up visits.
It was already afternoon, but there were still quite a lot of people.
During Bai Zhi's break, Lu Ye finally got to talk to her.
Bai Zhi noticed his flared jeans at first glance.
I was going to ask Lu Ye if he bought pants?
Upon closer inspection, it doesn't look new.
"Why are you here now?" Bai Zhi asked again, addressing the question that concerned her most. "Did you see my uncle?"
Lu Ye shook his head, "No, I heard that my uncle is away on a business trip."
Bai Zhi was also surprised to hear that Ye Tiandong was on a business trip.
Why would you be going on a business trip at this critical juncture?
Did Uncle not listen to a word they said?
That shouldn't be the case.
At this moment, Bai Zhi was thinking that Ye Tiandong must have some unavoidable work to do.
Lu Ye said to her in a low voice,
"Xiaobai, we're following Li Bin. I have a feeling that there's something wrong with that man."
"Hmm?" Bai Zhi looked at him suspiciously with her shimmering watery eyes.
Lu Ye responded ambiguously, "I cannot disclose any further details at the moment."
Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Bai Zhi instantly understood what was going on.
Since it's inconvenient to disclose, it must be related to official business.
So, besides having an affair with Li Li and doing things that violated human ethics, Li Bin also committed illegal and disorderly acts?
Lu Ye continued, "Qingbai is keeping watch. I have to go find him. I just came back to let you know. Don't wait for me tonight."
Bai Zhi felt a sudden tightness in her chest as she listened to Lu Ye's words.
They're going to do some surveillance tonight.
She couldn't help but wonder how he got his injuries.
My heart clenched involuntarily.
She took his hand and said softly, "Be careful."
Lu Ye patted her head, looked at her with affection, and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Bai Zhi watched him leave, sighed, and entered the clinic with a heavy heart.
When Lu Ye arrived near Lijia Hutong, he looked around.
"Brother Ye, I'm here."
Hearing Ye Qingbai's voice, he looked towards the corner of the wall.
Ye Qingbai was sitting on the green tiles on the top of the wall.
Upon seeing Lu Ye, he nimbly jumped down.
Lu Ye handed him a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and a bottle of soda.
"Brother Ye, you're so considerate. I'm really hungry."
"The person didn't come out?" Lu Ye asked.
"No, I was sitting up there, keeping a close eye on his front door. The door was tightly closed, and there was no sound at all."
Ye Qingbai took a bite of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and then gulped down some soda, immediately feeling much better.
"Could the landlady be mistaken? She hasn't come out yet, and I've even dozed off."
Lu Ye said, "Let's wait a little longer."
The two finished their roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in the corner, threw away their trash, and waited patiently.
As soon as Lu Ye arrived, Ye Qingbai perked up considerably.
As night fell and Ye Qingbai ran out of patience, clamoring to go back, a figure finally appeared in their sight.
Ye Qingbai was still complaining when Lu Ye covered his mouth.
"Stop talking."
He gestured for Ye Qingbai to look ahead.
“It’s him.” Ye Qingbai’s dim eyes lit up. “We’ve finally waited for this.”
Ye Qingbai was excited and wanted to walk forward, but Lu Ye stopped him, "Let's see if he walks or takes a car first."
The figure ahead had been waiting by the roadside for a while when a rather aggressive motorcycle came speeding into the alley.
Li Bin got on the motorcycle.
Then it sped away.
"Get in the car quickly."
Ye Qingbai quickly started his motorcycle and followed closely behind.
Lu Ye reminded him, "Don't follow too closely, just make sure you don't lose them."
The motorcycle made several turns and drove for nearly twenty minutes before stopping in front of a dilapidated karaoke bar.
Ye Qingbai had been to this dance hall once last year with Zhang Hu.
At that time, the dance hall had just opened.
The storefront doesn't look as trendy as it did last year.
The neon lights at the entrance are flashing, which is one of the few scenic spots in the city at night.
"Let's go inside." Lu Ye lowered his hat.
To make sure his physique and demeanor didn't clash with the outfit he was wearing, he deliberately adjusted his walking posture.
He started imitating Xie Zheng's walk.
Flamboyant, lazy, and indifferent to family.
The karaoke bar was quite lively at night; besides the music, there were also breakdancing people.
The two of them moved closer, and Ye Qingbai swayed slowly to the music, quickly blending into the atmosphere.
Lu Ye's eyes were constantly searching for Li Bin's shadow.
I searched all over, but couldn't find him at all.
Lu Ye asked the staff inside and went to the back to use the restroom.
Li Bin clearly entered the dance hall, but he was nowhere to be seen in the dance floor or lobby.
This makes it even stranger.
Lu Ye found the restroom and went inside.
This bathroom is full of toilets without partitions.
You can't hide people.
As he was relieving himself, a young man who had just finished using the toilet came out of the room, and Lu Ye heard him talking to the man in a low voice.
"The person is behind."
Lu Ye quickly shook himself twice and pulled up his pants.
They followed.
Behind the toilet, it was eerily dark.
It took him a while to get a better look at what was under his feet.
Lu Ye stood at the base of the wall, holding his breath and listening for any sounds.
Sure enough, voices soon came from ahead.
"Binzi, do you really have some goods on hand?"
