There would be a board meeting in two days. The reason Wang Yao wanted to meet Zhang Wei was that he wanted to know if he had the superpowers that Jia Zizai had described.
Few people wanted to be involved in a dangerous occupation. Jia Zizai was tired of fighting and killing people. He wanted to change his lifestyle, so did the pretty woman sitting next to him. In fact, they had wanted to retire from the company for a long time and had been preparing for it. However, the company was too powerful. They couldnât take the risk. It was different now. They had a good chance to say goodbye to the company.
âAre you going to Dao for me?â Zhong Liuchuan came to see Wang Yao as soon as he got the news.
âYeah, I want to meet with your CEO,â Wang Yao said with a smile.
âIâll go with you,â Zhong Liuchuan said without hesitation.
âNo need. Stay in the village. I can manage by myself. Donât worry, Iâll be fine.â Wang Yao patted Zhong Liuchuan on the shoulder.
âI just donât trust them,â Zhong Liuchuan said. He meant Jia Zizai and Hu Mei.
âIt doesnât matter to me,â Wang Yao replied. âThe only thing I care about is the village. Make sure everythingâs fine here.â
âI see, Dr. Wang,â Zhong Liuchuan said.
âIâve decided to go to Dao tomorrow,â Wang Yao said.
âDo you need to take anything with you?â Zhong Liuchuan asked.
âNo, Iâm not taking anything with me,â Wang Yao said.
He went home that night to notify his parents about his trip to Dao.
âYou just got back,â Zhang Xiuying said.
âI just need to visit Dao,â Wang Yao said. âItâs not far. Iâve got something to deal with there.â
âOK, be careful,â Zhang Xiuying said.
âI will,â Wang Yao said.
He left early the next morning and arrived in Dao two hours later. He parked his car at a motel and booked himself a room. Next, he called a taxi to take him to the trading company Jia Zizai and Zhong Liuchuan worked for.
The company, which was called Sihai Trading Company, was not very big. It was located in a six-story building that looked old. It had a small yard, inside which several cars were parked. The best car was a BMW 7 series. Wang Yao presumed it was the CEOâs vehicle.
The CEO lived in a well-known area of luxurious houses. All the people living there were very wealthy.
Wang Yao checked the time before sending Jia Zizai a text message. He is here?!
Jia Zizai was surprised to receive the message. He was not in the office at the moment.
He arrived at the company a moment later. He drove an Audi A6, which was commonly seen in Dao. Wang Yao found a cafe nearby and ordered a cup of coffee.
An hour later, Wang Yao received a message from a strange number. He walked out of the cafe. A car suddenly stopped next to him.
âHello, Mr. Jia asked me to come,â a young man wearing sunglasses said as he wound down the window.
Wang Yao didnât say anything. He opened the door of the car and got in.
âFollow the BMW in front, and donât let them know,â he said.
âNo problem,â the young man said.
There were a lot of cars on the street. Zhang Wei arrived at a boutique health club a moment later.
âYou have to be a member to enter the club,â the young man said.
âI see. You can leave now,â Wang Yao said.
The young man immediately drove off.
Wang Yao made a phone call after he got out of the car. A moment later, Hao came to the club.
âWhat brings you here, Dr. Wang?â Hao asked with confusion.
âI need to get into this club, but Iâm not a member,â Wang Yao said as he pointed at the club.
âJust one sec.â Hao took out a dark gold card.
âYou can spend as much as you want to,â Hao said.
âThank you,â Wang Yao said.
âYou are welcome,â Hao replied.
Wang Yao entered the club with the membership card. The decorations inside the club were an elegant Japanese style. The customer service staff were young and pretty girls. One of them came to welcome Wang Yao.
The club consisted of many private rooms. Privacy was well protected there.
Itâs going to be a bit tricky, Wang Yao thought. Hmm?
He suddenly saw a Japanese man, who he presumed was the same guy Jia Zizai had mentioned. He had also seen the manâs picture in the material provided by Jia Zizai. The Japanese man went into a private room.
âI want that room,â Wang Yao said to the customer service girl. He picked a room next door.
Wang Yao was a bit lost since this was his first time at a private club.
âYou can leave now,â Wang Yao said to the customer service girl.
âOK. Let me know if you need anything,â the girl said.
The room was extremely soundproof. Wang Yao couldnât hear a thing from the room next door. He poked at the corner of the wall, and a tiny hole appeared.
Now I can hear, he thought.
The voice was quiet, but Wang Yao had extraordinary hearing to catch every single word.
âHow is everything going?â Zhang Wei asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI need more guinea pigs,â the Japanese man said.
âHow many more?â Zhang Wei asked.
âNine,â the Japanese man said.
Zhang Wei was silent for a moment before saying, âIâll see what I can do.â
âOK,â the Japanese man said.
Ahem! Ahem! Zhang Wei started to cough.
He is sick, very sick. Wang Yao could tell that Zhang Wei had a serious problem in his lungs.
âYou must take care of yourself,â the Japanese man said.
âIâm trying, but I think Iâm lucky enough to be alive still,â Zhang Wei replied.
His voice was hoarse, and he was short of breath. He was very weak.
âI still think you should go back where you were trained to get some help,â the Japanese man said. âItâs OK to bow down for your health.â
âItâs not about giving in or losing face,â Zhang Wei said. âIâll probably lose my life If I go back.â
Where was he trained? Wang Yao was surprised by Zhang Weiâs background.
No one was speaking in the other. Wang Yao calmly sat on the sofa.
Om! Someoneâs cellphone was vibrating.
âHello? Yes... OK, I see,â Zhang Wei said on the phone. âMr. Wuzang, I have to go now. Please take a break and enjoy the place here.â
âOK, thanks,â the Japanese man said.
Zhang Wei left the room. Wang Yao hesitated and decided not to follow Zhang Wei. A moment later, he heard a young girl moaning next door.
What the? Wang Yao was speechless.
After a while, the Japanese man called in another girl. It seemed he hadnât had enough.
Is this really a health club? Wang Yao sighed.
Hiragana, the Japanese man, was a bit unsteady when he walked out of the room. He didnât notice he was followed at all.
Wang Yao found Hao still waiting for him outside the club.
âFollow that guy,â Wang Yao said.
âSasaki Hiragana?â Hao spoke the Japanese name. âAre you investigating him?â
âYes, do you know him?â Wang Yao asked.
âIâve seen him before,â Hao said. âHeâs a Japanese businessman doing international trade. The main product his business is involved with is drugs. Mr. Sun had done business with him.â
âHas he done anything illegal?â Wang Yao asked.
âWhat do you mean?â Hao asked.
âNothing.â Wang Yao shook his head. Hao remembered the question. âWhere does he live in Dao?â
âHe lives in a group of luxurious apartments,â Hao said.
âLetâs go check it out,â Wang Yao said.
Hao drove Wang Yao to Hiraganaâs residence. They noticed Hiraganaâs car had just entered the place.
âDo you know what Yunsheng is doing now?â Wang Yao asked.
âHeâs in the office,â Hao said.
âIs he available now?â Wang Yao asked.
âIâm pretty sure heâll make himself available for you,â Hao replied.
âOK, take me to his office,â Wang Yao said.
âSure,â Hao said.
They eventually decided not to meet at Sun Yunshengâs office. They met at one of the clubs Sun Yunsheng owned.
âDid you come here for Niragana?â Sun Yunsheng asked.
âYes, I want to know about him,â Wang Yao said.
âIâve asked Hao to check on him,â Sun Yunsheng said. âDoes he have any problems?â
âI think so,â Wang Yao said.
âDid he offend you?â Sun Yunsheng directly asked.
âWell, I donât know how to put it,â Wang Yao said. âHe didnât offend me directly. Letâs find out what he has done first.â
âSure, are you available to have dinner together?â Sun Yunsheng asked.
âWell, Iâve got plans,â Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment.
âHow many days are you going to stay here?â Sun Yunsheng asked.
âIâm not sure,â Wang Yao replied. âIt depends on what I can find.â
âI see,â Sun Yunsheng said.
Wang Yao left the club after chatting with Sun Yunsheng for a short while. Hao came back a moment later.
âWhat did you find?â Sun Yunsheng asked.
âHe is involved in selling human organs on the black market,â Hao said.
âWhat?â Sun Yunsheng frowned. âHow long has he been doing that? Does he have a business partner here?â
What Hiragana did wasnât within his expectations. He still had occasional business dealings with the company Hiragana represented. He wondered if Hiragana had been committing crimes using his familyâs power in Dao. He thought it was quite possible.
