Chapter 26: Qingyan Villa

  Insufficient balance

  "Comrade, I used to work in the police force too, and there are many friends here. I know it's not easy doing this job, it's tiring. My younger brother is not sensible, please help take care of him more in the future, thank you."

  Liang Tao had probably made preparations beforehand, and seeing Liang Hao still frowning in thought, he took out a bulging envelope from his briefcase and handed it to the prison guard standing beside him. Without guessing, one could tell what was inside: "Wait till tonight, invite a few colleagues to dinner together, and help mention my younger brother."

  The prison guard initially didn't dare to take it, but after enduring for a while, he couldn't resist the temptation and took over the heavy envelope without making a sound. He then turned around and left with ease. Before closing the door, he smiled at Liang Tao and said: "Ten minutes, no more, or I'll be in trouble."

  "Thank you!"

  Liang Tao smiled and nodded, thinking that having money makes things easier these days. At the same time, he was also aware that there might be many of Wu Yi's informants inside the prison. The details of Ye Jun's conversation with Liang Hao at this critical moment could very likely be the key to reversing the injustice. At this juncture, Liang Tao would not be ambiguous, although he usually acted rashly and didn't think things through, but for his younger brother's future career and safety, he also knew that he couldn't afford to be careless.

  Liang Hao sat in the chair, his face sinking and his eyebrows furrowed. Although Ye Jun looked like a student wearing a school uniform reciting vocabulary in class, since Liang Tao had brought this seemingly unusual person into the visiting room, he must have an extraordinary aspect to him. Liang Hao and Liang Tao were brothers, but their personalities were vastly different. If Liang Tao was like Zhang Fei, a brave but impulsive man, then Liang Hao was a perfect combination of Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, exceling in both bravery and strategy.

  "Now that you mention it, I remember something."

  After a while, under Ye Jun and Liang Tao's expectant gaze, Liang Hao suddenly furrowed his brow and said: "I remember that a month ago, when a colleague's wife was about to give birth, he asked me to switch shifts with him, and I agreed. That night, when I was checking the floor, I found two men lurking outside a guest room, constantly knocking on the door. At the time, I rushed over to stop them, and those two men glared at me, seemingly drunk, but I could smell it - they hadn't been drinking."

  "What's next?"

  Liang Tao asked further, after all, he had never heard Liang Hui mention this matter before. As soon as he thought that it might be related to the unjust case, Liang Tao couldn't sit still anymore?

  Later, I called some colleagues upstairs through the intercom and threatened to call the police, and these two men left in a huff.

  Liang Hao smiled wryly and muttered: "It can't be because of this matter, right?"

  "It's hard to say for now, but it can't be ruled out. By the way, have you checked who registered and stayed in that hotel room?" Yu Jun frowned.

  Liang Hao took off his gold-rimmed glasses, pulled out a cotton cloth from his waist, and wiped the lenses while sighing: "If I'm really being framed because of this, I don't know if it's just an unlucky year or what. As for the customer's information, it's usually confidential and can't be accessed at will. We service staff also don't have permission to retrieve customer data. After those two men left, the intercom broadcast that they were complaining about me at the front desk. I rushed down, but it was actually my colleague who had been called over, talking with the guest in the room and calming them down, saying that those people had been kicked out."

  "Oh? Has anyone seen that guest? Who is he? What does he look like? Did he say why those two men came to harass us?" Liang Tao asked urgently.

  "This wasn't mentioned, and I didn't ask. After all, it was late at night and I was very tired, plus someone had complained against me, which was annoying. Afterwards, no one brought it up again. Such disputes happen from time to time, so it's not a new thing."

  Under Liang Tao's disappointed gaze, Liang Hao shook his head, but Ye Jun caught some useful information and said: "You said a colleague had contact with the other party? What's his name? I'll go ask your brother."

  His name is Wu Xin, he's one of my best buddies from the hotel.

  Liang Hao finished speaking, and Ye Jun stood up, smiling at Liang Tao and Wang Bingyang: "Don't delay, let's go now, maybe we can find some clues."

  "Good!"

  Liang Tao nodded gratefully, originally thinking that Ye Jun's special identity would at least allow him to whisper in the ears of the Han family father and son. Now it seems that he is simply a great lucky star. As for the so-called law enforcement team, Liang Tao had long since lost confidence in them. The officialdom was dark, and if he were not already out of the law enforcement department, he would have personally investigated to clear his younger brother's name. However, with just a few words today, he obtained such an important clue, and Liang Tao was extremely grateful. Even Wang Bingyang, who had been observing coldly and silently from the beginning, looked at Ye Jun with a softer gaze.

  At this moment, Liang Tao grasped Liang Hao's hand and said with a heavy heart: "Ahao, as your brother, I will definitely not let you suffer in prison. You must take good care of yourself!"

  "Brother, don't worry, I'm almost 20 years old, I can take care of myself."

  Liang Tao and Liang Hao reluctantly bid each other farewell before he tearfully left the thick city wall that separated him from his younger brother.

  According to the phone provided by Liang Hao, Liang Tao soon found Wu Xin. After a conversation, not much information was obtained, only knowing that the guest in the room was a woman, a very beautiful woman. Although Wu Xin wanted to help Liang Hao clear his name, at the time, there was not much substantial content in the conversation with this woman, and the other party's tone was icy cold, seemingly difficult to get close to. Fearing complaints, Wu Xin only said a few words before hastily leaving the scene of the incident.

  Just as the clue was about to be cut off, Wu Xin suddenly smiled and said: "Tao Ge, don't worry, that day happened to be my cousin's birthday, I remember the date clearly, we can go to the hotel to check the registration records for that day."

  "Thank you very much."

  Liang Tao was overjoyed upon hearing this, but soon furrowed his brow and said: "I heard that viewing client information requires a certain level of clearance, so..."

  "Don't worry, my girlfriend works at the front desk, I'll call her and ask for her help to check."

  After finishing speaking, Wu Xin ran to a nearby grocery store and made a phone call. It wasn't until more than ten minutes had passed that Wu Xin was seen running back, panting, with an inexplicable look of helplessness on his face.

  "What? Didn't you find it?"

  It's true that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. As soon as he saw Wu Xin's expression, Liang Tao had an urge to go crazy.

  Wu Xin bitterly smiled and said: "Tao Ge, the investigation has indeed found something, but the other party's background is quite powerful."

  "What? Who is it?"

  If it weren't for the inconvenience of the action, Liang Tao almost wanted to grab Wu Xin's shoulder.

  At this moment, Liang Tao's excitement was overflowing, and even a blind person could sense it. Wu Xin dared not to be too extreme, and explained: "The woman's house registration procedure did not use her ID card, but rather the Qingyan Club was responsible for handling it."

  Qingyan Club?

  Upon hearing this, not only Liang Tao and Wang Bingyang, but also Ye Jun was taken aback.

  It is said that Qingyan Club is a gathering place for celebrities in Jiangling City. To become a member of this club, one must be a person with a good reputation in Jiangling City. It is rumored that the mastermind behind the establishment of Qingyan Club has a powerful background, and even officials sent from the capital city have to show respect to this mastermind.

  But Ye Jun obviously knew more inside information, Qingyan Club was not just a simple private club, but a symbol of the control of military, political and business powers. For outsiders, it might be just a place to show off wealth, but for insiders, it was a stepping stone to climb up!

  Those who can enter the Qingyan Club and make a stir, in this land of their ancestors, do not talk about personal worth or rights, even with the network of relationships in hand, they still have to shock too many people.

  In other words, Qingyan Villa is not a place where ordinary people can enter at will!

  "What to do? Can't just stand guard outside Qingyan Club and wait for that woman?"

  Liang Tao was indeed at a loss for words, but this idea almost made Ye Jun burst out in anger. Did he really think that the members who came and went from the Qingyan Club were ordinary people wandering around on the streets? Without even one Mercedes-Benz or BMW to their name, they wouldn't have the face to step onto the red carpet of the Qingyan Club, let alone point fingers at the doorman.

  It seemed that Liang Tao felt Ye Jun's extremely speechless gaze, and he also realized that he had misspoken. But as soon as he thought of his identity, he was afraid that he might not be able to enter the Qingyan Club for the rest of his life. He immediately lost his composure and turned to Wang Bingyang behind him: "Ayang, why don't we wait outside and tie up whoever comes out? How about it? This way, we'll have a car and a certificate to get in."

  Upon hearing this, Wu Xin was no longer calm. This conversation was like that of a criminal, and it was an act of robbery. For someone as honest as him who didn't take advantage of others for personal gain, the impact was imaginable.

  Look at Wu Xin's pale face, Ye Jun smiled and said: "Don't take it seriously, they are just joking."

  Yan Jun shot a stern glance at Liang Tao, who immediately understood and patted Wu Xin on the shoulder, dryly saying: "Just joking, look at you, how old are you now, still so timid."

  Of course, Ye Jun naturally wouldn't think that Liang Tao's words were alarmist. A madman who dared to charge into the Han family with a knife, a man who regarded his brothers as his own life, once he had no way out, would he dare not to rob and plunder? Ye Jun didn't have any words to refute him. However, when he heard Qingyan Association, Ye Jun suddenly remembered something, which was a matter that had been troubling him recently. To be precise, it was a woman, Yang Wan.

  As the goddess of wealth, Ye Jun had an impression of Yang Wan, but couldn't recall how she had come into contact with this woman in her past life. When she heard Qingyan Villa, she immediately thought of Yang Wan's background, specifically a business financial group, the Yang family association.

  The Yang Family Association is a century-old clan alliance of the Yang family, where all descendants, whether direct or collateral, are closely united. Whether they engage in politics or business, without exception, they only pledge allegiance to the Yang family. Although I don't know much about the Yang Family Association, I have had dealings with them in my previous life, and even briefly cooperated with them in business. I recall that at a business meeting where we collaborated with the Yang Family Association, I had a brief encounter with Yang Wan.

  However, Yang Wan did not utter a word from start to finish at the meeting, so she didn't leave much of an impression on Ye Jun. This also resulted in him not recognizing her immediately when they first met with Cai Shen, despite being a renowned and powerful woman of the Yang family in her past life.

  Of course, the Yang family has always been a shareholder of Qingyan Club. This gave Ye Jun a sudden idea. He smiled at Liang Tao and said: "The member's affairs are left to me. I'll go make a phone call first. If there's no accident, we can see this mysterious Qingyan Club soon."
