Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Naturally, Lin Guodong knew his son very well. He almost did not delve into the first possibility. Looking at the time, it was not too late. He quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Old Cui, I’m Lin Guodong.”
“Old Lin, I heard that you came to Lin’an City and were about to find time to go over. Why did you call first?”
The person who answered the call was the president of Lin’an City’s Martial
Arts Association. He was also the organizer of this martial arts seminar, Cui Shoude. Most of the reason why Lin Guodong came to participate in this martial arts seminar was because of Cui Shoude, his old friend.
The relationship between the two of them was obvious.
“Old Cui, there’s something I want to trouble you with.”
“What are you talking about? You came to Lin’an City. If you have anything to say, just say it. I still have some connections in Lin’an City. As long as you ask, I can do it with a word.”
If someone else said this, they might be bragging. However, Lin Guodong knew very well that Cui Shoude had the confidence to say this.
Not only because Cui Shoude was the president of the National Martial Arts Association in Lin’an City, but also because Cui Shoude was also the chairman of the Lin’an Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in Lin’an City.
To Cui Shoude, the president of the Martial Arts Association was just a hobby. The power given to him by the president of the Chamber of Commerce was much greater. Therefore, Lin Guodong did not stand on ceremony and directly said, “You know there’s a night market street near the sports center, right? I want to see the surveillance video of the night market street park three hours ago. Is there any way?”
Hearing this, Cui Shoude was clearly puzzled. “Old Lin, why do you want to see that thing?”
“Don’t worry so much. Just tell me if there’s a way.” Lin Guodong was really not in the mood to explain now. His only thought now was to see for himself.
“What are you talking about!” Fortunately, Cui Shoude did not ask further. Instead, he said very straightforwardly, “I’ll say it again. In Lin’an City, if there’s anything, just ask. As long as it’s not illegal. Don’t you know my connections? Leave it to me. I’ll look for you in your hotel room in ten minutes.” With that, Cui Shoude hung up.
Lin Guodong heaved a sigh of relief, but his tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all. There were many things he could not figure out, so he desperately wanted an answer.
Ding dong..
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang punctually. Lin Guodong quickly went forward to open the door. Standing at the door was Cui Shoudao, who was almost 50 years old, but was still strong and healthy.
“Buddy, it’s been so many years! ”
Martial arts practitioners did not care about trifles. Cui Shoude hugged Lin Guodong, showing how deep their relationship was.
“You’re still the same as before, staying true to your words.” Lin Guodong smiled and teased as he closed the door.
“Of course. It’s not easy for you, Old Lin, to open your golden mouth. How can I not give you face?” As Cui Shoude spoke, he took out the computer he carried with him and waved the USB flash drive in his hand. “This is what you want. There are four camera images around the park inside. Don’t think that it’s just a small USB flash drive. Do you know how many people I found to get it done for you? Fortunately, there are many merchants nearby. There are surveillance cameras installed, so we can retrieve them.”
As he spoke, Cui Shoude sat on the sofa casually and crossed his arms as he looked at Lin Guodong. Seeing Cui Shou’s expression, Lin Guodong immediately understood. “Let’s have a drink tomorrow.”
Cui Shoude immediately threw the USB drive in his hand to Lin Guodong. Lin Guodong shook his head with a helpless smile. “If word gets out that the influential figure of Lin’an City, the big shot of the business world, Cui Shoude, has to freeload, I wonder how many people’s jaws will drop.”
Cui Shoude did not seem to care about Lin Guodong’s teasing. “Then don’t worry about it. I’ve been freeloading off you 30 years ago. I’m used to it. I can’t change it now.” As he spoke, Cui Shoude leaned forward. “What the hell do you want this for?”
Lin Guodong had already pulled up the video on the computer and pressed the play button. “I have some questions that I want to find answers to here.”
As the park was not an important place, none of the surveillance cameras was directed specifically to the park. All the scenes were recorded together, so they looked a little blurry. Even so, Cui Shoude quickly pointed at Lin Xiao on the screen and said, “Isn’t this my nephew? What is he doing here?”
Lin Guodong did not speak. Instead, he stared fixedly at the man and woman opposite Lin Xiao. At first, the woman stood in front of the man, and then the man pulled the woman behind him. As the surveillance cameras did not record sound, this scene was quite boring.
Then Su Yun suddenly flicked his wrist on the screen. Immediately after, the street lamps above Lin Xiao and the others were instantly extinguished. Fragments fell from the sky, and Lin Xiao and the others quickly saw their injuries.
“Oh my god, what is this?” Cui Shoude was stunned. He looked at the scene that had been paused in confusion and was extremely surprised.
“It’s actually as Lin Xiao said.” Lin Guodong looked at the screen in shock. He replayed it a few times, but he still could not tell why the street lamp was broken.
However, because the street lamps were broken and the surroundings were dark, the recording of the camera became even more blurry. As a result, Lin Guodong had no choice but to choose another angle to continue watching..
