Chapter 67: A Jerk?

So, it seems that the handsome guy is with Zhang Mingliu tonight, spending time with Qin Yun’s daughter Xiao Yu.

It looks like Zhang Mingliu has really started a new relationship.

Du Qiu couldn’t quite describe his feelings at the moment, feeling a sense of relief but also a slight discomfort.

The relief was because Zhang Mingliu wouldn’t cling to him anymore.

The discomfort was due to the possessive instinct inherent to men.

Du Qiu took a long breath; regardless, everyone now had their own place, which was good.

Just then, he saw Chen Han Sheng circling around the green belt, walking past his car.

Du Qiu quickly ducked down, thankful that his car windows were tinted so that light couldn’t pass through, and Chen Han Sheng did not notice someone inside the car.

Most importantly, Chen Han Sheng was on a phone call.

“Baby, get cleaned up and wait for me; I’ll be there soon!”

After speaking, Chen Han Sheng unlocked a nearby car, got in, and drove away.

Du Qiu was stunned by his words for a few seconds, then he cursed.

“Damn, so he’s a jerk!”

Chen Han Sheng had just left Qin Yun’s place, and now he was rushing to see another woman. If that’s not being a jerk, what is?

Du Qiu decided to follow him immediately.

The jerk drove a Mercedes-Benz sedan, and after leaving the neighborhood, he quickly joined the nearby elevated highway.

Du Qiu cautiously followed behind.

It was nearly 10 p.m., and the traffic on the elevated road was obviously lighter; Du Qiu did not dare to follow too closely.

Fortunately, after about fifteen minutes of driving on the elevated road, the jerk’s car exited.

When Du Qiu got down, he saw the jerk’s car turn right onto another road, and Du Qiu followed a taxi from behind as he also turned right.

Not far after turning, he saw the jerk’s Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road, but the engine was still running.

Du Qiu was startled; could it be that this guy had noticed he was being followed?

He didn’t dare stop his car and continued driving forward.

He drove to a building entrance not far ahead and immediately turned in, parked at the entrance, and quickly shut the engine off.

If the jerk had not realized he was being followed, he should drive on soon, and Du Qiu could quietly follow again.

However, a question arose in Du Qiu’s mind: why would the jerk perform such counter-tracking actions?

Du Qiu waited several minutes and still didn’t see the jerk’s Mercedes drive by, which puzzled him.

The place where the jerk had parked had neither hotels nor residential buildings nearby, and being close to the crossroads, it seemed unlikely that anything could happen in the car.

More importantly, the jerk was alone in the car right now.

At this point, Du Qiu hesitated; if he left his car now and went back to check, the jerk’s car might start and leave, and he might lose him.

But if he didn’t go back to check and the jerk left on foot, he would still lose him.

Hesitating, a few more minutes passed.

Du Qiu could wait no longer; he got out of his car and walked back.

When he got near the jerk’s Mercedes-Benz, he slowed his pace and pretended to be a passerby walking by, passing by the side of the Mercedes-Benz.

His eyes quickly scanned the interior of the Mercedes-Benz through the front windshield.

No good – there was really no one inside!

Du Qiu looked around; beyond the sidewalk was a green belt, and the row of shops near the intersection were all closed.

Turning back to look at the Mercedes-Benz, it was parked in a lined roadside parking space.

Du Qiu recalled that during his waiting time, a taxi had passed by; the jerk might have switched to a taxi.

Wait, why would this guy go to such trouble? This was obviously a conscious effort to counter-track.

Considering that he had just found listening devices installed at Qin Yun’s house, Du Qiu immediately took out his phone and took a photo of the Mercedes-Benz.

After sending the photo to Su Jianming, he made a phone call.

“Du Qiu, what’s up so late? What’s with this car?” Su Jianming’s voice was a bit rough, and he kept it low.

“Bro Su, the owner of this car just shook me off by switching to a taxi. Can you help me check out this car’s situation?”

“What’s wrong, someone’s targeting you?” Su Jianming’s voice suddenly became excited.

“Not sure, seems like they’re after Zhang Mingliu.”

Du Qiu simply categorized the jerk as one of the “Wolf Kiss” people, which would allow him to use the police force’s help.

It was too coincidental that after he had visited Qin Yun’s place, a listening device appeared there.

Keep in mind that when Du Qiu checked Qin Yun’s place previously, there were no such devices.

Apparently, the person from “Wolf Kiss” who had reappeared still targeted Qin Yun and her family and had not given up just because the fake woman’s search came up empty last time.

It seemed that the move of posting an online help post was in vain; “Wolf Kiss” probably never thought of searching for information through the domestic internet.

“Are you sure?”

“Su Team, you still don’t trust me? Do you want me to take you to Qin Yun’s place right now? Someone has placed a listening device there.”

Su Jianming breathed hastily. First Du Qiu’s car was bugged, and now Qin Yun’s place too. These two events confirmed that “Wolf Kiss” was stepping up their operations.

He kept the case open, just waiting for this moment.

“Don’t worry, I’ll clear up the details on that car quickly. Also, after our call, you can call me from your car. Arrange to meet at ‘Yuege Gastronomy’, in the ‘Lanyue Pavilion’ at noon tomorrow, with the crystal cube ready for delivery.”

“Have you set a trap already?” Du Qiu asked.

“Presumably, after hearing this news, they might try to hit you tonight. We’ll be lying in wait near your house.”

“What if they don’t come and wait to intercept tomorrow?”

“Don’t worry, you drive home after the call, and my guys will get there at the same time. They’ll covertly protect you until you hand over the crystal cube to me.”

“Did you sort out the identities?”

“Yeah, a real estate tycoon’s son, buying your cube for his dad’s birthday gift!”

“Wow, isn’t that a bit too cliche?”

“To us, what seems cliche, those overseas Chinese actually find it very in line with the customs of wealthy families.”

“Fine, I’ll go with what you say, Bro Su. I’ll call you later.”

Du Qiu hung up the phone and returned to his car. Once inside, he didn’t rush to make the phone call.

Some instinct told Du Qiu that he should drive away from the vicinity of the Mercedes-Benz.

Du Qiu drove home, and when he was nearly there, he called Su Jianming, performing the play of selling the crystal cube.

Afterwards, entering the neighborhood, parking the car, Du Qiu checked the surveillance network with his phone.

Indeed, a few red dots appeared on the screen, all detected short-range communication signals, obviously, Su Jianming’s people had their communication channels open.

Du Qiu looked at the distribution of the red dots; they had surrounded his building completely.

Additionally, there were two red dots directly opposite his house, signifying long-range telescopic surveillance of his home.

A twinge of nervousness hit Du Qiu; that call just made might bait out the “Wolf Kiss” personnel.

After locking his car, Du Qiu went upstairs and returned home.

His phone rang; it was Zhang Mingliu.

“Du Qiu, you drove my sister-in-law home; why didn’t you come up?”

“Come up to watch you get conned by a jerk?” Du Qiu blurted out.
