Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Lu Chuan’s Solution
But continuing like this is not a solution.
We can’t stop investigating just because there’s resistance.
We still have to think of some ways.
"Over there with Director Song... should we keep reporting in the future?"
Lu Chuan’s voice interrupted Qin Yong’s thoughts.
"Of course we’ll report. If there’s really a problem on his side, handing the case over to the lower Criminal Investigation Team wouldn’t be an issue, right?"
"Actually, another important reason I decided to postpone the operation is that since the other side has already received the information, the Thousand-Year Sanatorium must have made corresponding arrangements."
"If we make a big show of searching the Thousand-Year Sanatorium again at this time, I doubt we’ll get any good results."
There’s a mole on our side, and the other side is fully aware of our actions. This means they must have made decisions and adjustments during this time.
This way, Qin Yong’s original plan to catch them off guard has fallen through.
Lu Chuan is also trying to find a way.
Just on the way back, Lu Chuan had already asked Lu Yao to help check the situation at the Thousand-Year Sanatorium.
This sanatorium was built ten years ago as a project by a real estate tycoon.
However, the actual investor behind this project is not that real estate developer but a well-known private entrepreneur in Haizhou City.
Apart from the remarkable Qiangsheng Group, Haizhou City has a thriving economy that nurtured many famous private entrepreneurs.
Among them is someone very influential in the energy sector, almost monopolizing Haizhou City’s supply of heating, gas, gasoline, and diesel.
This person is Duan Sihai, the owner of Xinfa Energy Co., Ltd. in Haizhou City.
This person is also a legendary figure.
In his early days, he collected heating fees for a heating company, and after being forced to leave the job, he went into business and married a good wife.
Fought his way to now, becoming a billionaire boss.
In Lu Yao’s words, Duan Sihai is a man with exceptionally influential connections, widely respected, and known in the underworld as Fourth Brother. He’s a powerful figure whose every move makes Haizhou City tremble.
Even Qiangsheng Group often has to give Duan Sihai some face.
At the very least, Lu Yao certainly can’t afford to provoke him.
Of course, whether this matter is Duan Sihai’s doing is still unclear.
After all, from what Lu Chuan knows, Duan Sihai is a billionaire and has no need to do anything shady.
Although there must have been some unspeakable secrets in Duan Sihai’s rise, how could 12 unemployed paupers be connected to someone like Duan Sihai?
It doesn’t exclude the possibility that someone under Duan Sihai is playing tricks.
After all, it’s just a sanatorium, and although Duan Sihai is the boss behind it, he can’t manage it personally.
"Captain Qin, I have an idea. Can we try it?"
After a long silence, Lu Chuan recalled the legendary experiences of Duan Sihai, the boss behind the Thousand-Year Sanatorium, and came up with a solution.
"Oh? Let’s hear it?"
"Now that we’ve startled the snake, dealing with the sanatorium the regular way certainly won’t work."
Qin Yong realized this as well.
The recent action failed, so the other side must have fully prepared.
Even through official means like searches, regardless of whether anyone at the top obstructs us, the other side must have prepared thoroughly to ensure nothing can be found when we investigate.
So Qin Yong’s original idea was to find a few reliable people, such as Zhang Hui, and have Lu Chuan form a small task force to secretly investigate the situation at the Thousand-Year Sanatorium.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chuan had an idea of his own.
"So, I thought of a way: to fight fire with fire!"
Hm?
"What do you mean by to fight fire with fire?"
"It’s like this..."
After a while, after hearing Lu Chuan’s plan, Qin Yong looked at Lu Chuan with a peculiar expression.
"You... where did you get all these tricks from?"
Lu Chuan was unhappy.
"What do you mean tricks? This is a strategy."
"Besides, I’m using my own money, nothing to do with the team."
"Anyway, this is the only way I can think of for now. See if it works."
"If you agree, I’ll do it. If not, I’ll go back to comparing fingerprints."
Agree or not?
No choice here.
Qin Yong initially didn’t know that the boss behind the Thousand-Year Sanatorium was Duan Sihai.
Now that he knows, he understands that Lu Chuan’s idea is simply brilliant.
It’s important to note that Duan Sihai is not just a billionaire private business owner.
He’s also a representative of Haizhou City, acting as a vice-mayor.
If such a person is really involved in a case...
Without approval from above, the Criminal Investigation Team can’t just detain him.
For someone like him...
To capture them, there’s only one way, catch them in the act.
It’s when they are preparing to commit, committing, or immediately caught after committing a crime that they can be arrested.
Simply put, they need to be caught red-handed!
Unless they are caught red-handed, sorry, the police can’t just arrest them.
"I agree!"
Qin Yong had no other option; Lu Chuan’s idea was indeed excellent.
Since you’re playing official pressure on us, don’t blame us for using money against you.
Of course, not everyone can carry out Lu Chuan’s plan; the key is having the money.
Leaving Qin Yong’s office, Lu Chuan had already thought of several ways.
West Coast Cafe.
"Mr. Lu... What is this..."
The young nurse who had just led Lu Chuan on a tour of the sanatorium was now staring at a stack of cash on the table, her eyes gleaming.
The young nurse hadn’t graduated long ago and had never seen so much money.
The pretty nurse originally thought Lu Chuan invited her out to discuss the sanatorium’s matters, but before they even began talking, there was a hefty 100,000 yuan on the table.
Is he trying to buy her off?
The young nurse glanced at Lu Chuan, her face instantly flushed red.
He’s so handsome and wealthy; has she struck it lucky?
Even if just for once, it would be fine.
The other party must be interested in her.
In fact... if it’s him, she wouldn’t mind even without the money.
Truthfully, working at a medical check-up center, the young nurse has seen many wealthy individuals.
However, they were either unattractive or old in age.
A good-looking, young, and wealthy individual is rare.
Or they’re just aimless rich second-generation types...
The young nurse wasn’t interested in those.
"Nurse Wang, please don’t misunderstand this money."
When Lu Chuan saw her blushing and shyly looking at him, he knew she had misunderstood.
"This money is for you to help me gather some information."
Yes, this was the idea Lu Chuan suggested to Qin Yong.
The Thousand-Year Sanatorium side isn’t applying pressure on the Criminal Investigation Team through its superiors?
That’s fine; you have people, but I’ve got money.
I’ll use money to buy someone off.
We’ll see if we can catch them making a mistake!
