The singing Luo Yimei knew they were definitely talking about work matters and felt it would be better for her to disappear. She took her phone and went into the bathroom.
Now, only the two of them were left in the room, and with the loud music covering everything, many words could be spoken freely.
"Brother-in-law, please help your little sister!" Huang Wanling pleaded coquettishly, hugging Lin Hao.
Lin Hao smiled and patted her small hand, saying, "I'll do my best to help!"
"It's not just doing your best, you have to make it happen!" Huang Wanling retorted coyly.
"Making it happen is not easy!" Lin Hao said with a bitter smile.
"Brother-in-law..." Huang Wanling actually leaned into his arms, wriggling around.
Lin Hao held the little girl, feeling as if a cat was scratching his heart, with hormones surging up, and naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"Brother-in-law, my family's financial situation isn't good, and we're able to come up with fifty thousand to thank you. Please help your little sister." Huang Wanling prepared to use money to pave the way.
Lin Hao looked at the girl in his arms with a smile, pursed his lips, and said, "How could I take your money? Don't worry, brother-in-law will do his best to help you!"
"Brother-in-law, if you help me, Lingling will do anything you say," Huang Wanling murmured seductively in his ear.
"Lingling, is that what you said?" Lin Hao looked at the girl in front of him with a lewd smile, pressing his hand on her thigh.
"Of course." Huang Wanling nodded in agreement.
She subtly pressed down Lin Hao's hand, sliding over her fair and smooth thigh, her short skirt barely concealing the view inside.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Luo Yimei came out, scaring Lin Hao into quickly retracting his hand.
"Brother-in-law, I'm going to the bathroom." Huang Wanling said bashfully and hurried toward the bathroom.
Luo Yimei slowly walked over, sat down beside Lin Hao, and hooked her arm around his, saying, "Brother-in-law, Lingling is my best friend. On my behalf, please help her."
"Since she's your friend, how can I not help?" Lin Hao replied with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, once everything is settled, I'll treat you to a meal," Luo Yimei said.
"No need, I'll do my best," Lin Hao laughed.
"Brother-in-law, did you fight with Ms. Mu Yun?" Luo Yimei suddenly asked.
"It's not really a fight, she just thinks I'm going nowhere, kind of looks down on me," Lin Hao didn't hide it.
"What? You're so handsome, and Ms. Mu Yun still looks down on you?" Luo Yimei was shocked.
"Oh, you! You don't understand the complicated bureaucracy. Even if I tell you, you won't get it. Come, tonight let's not get drunk, not go home," Lin Hao raised his glass invitingly.
"I don't want to get drunk. If I do, you're so bad, what if you take advantage of me?" Luo Yimei teased.
Actually, she saw this brother-in-law taking advantage of her friend just now, but she didn't spill the beans.
"It's just having fun outside, playing along with the occasion. Xiaomei, if you take it seriously, there's no fun to be had," Lin Hao confessed with a grin.
Luo Yimei leaned closer, whispered, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of my friend?"
"What are you planning?" Lin Hao was slightly taken aback.
"Brother-in-law, Lingling is a very open girl," Luo Yimei smiled mysteriously.
Lin Hao was delighted inside, but shook his head, declaring righteously, "Xiaomei, you're trying to get me to make a mistake!"
"Brother-in-law, you're such a big rogue, you were just sneaking a peek at me," Luo Yimei pouted, looking displeased.
"Didn't see it, I couldn't tell front from back," Lin Hao flatly denied.
"What front and back? I do have assets, okay?" Luo Yimei huffed, sticking out her impressive chest.
"Well, indeed you do!" Lin Hao nodded inexplicably, looking at the two mounds in front of him.
Luo Yimei, full of pride, leaned close to Lin Hao's ear, whispering, "I'll tell you, Lingling's are even bigger and rounder!"
Lin Hao only felt a surge of hormones, as if a flock of wild horses was running through his mind, freezing on the spot.
Are the beautiful college girls of today really this open? Seems like I'm outdated!
Gulp...
Lin Hao swallowed, a sly smile curling his lips.
"I don't like them too big; I prefer smaller ones."
As he said this, he stared at Luo Yimei's full mounds, as if he wanted to devour her.
"Brother-in-law, you're so bad!" Luo Yimei was both shy and angry, playfully punching him with her small fists.
Lin Hao reached out with a big hand, grabbed her small hand, pulled her into his embrace.
"Brother-in-law, you're taking advantage of me; I'm not talking to you anymore!" Luo Yimei struggled hard, finally escaping his grasp.
"Hahaha..." Lin Hao laughed heartily upon gaining an advantage.
Luo Yimei leaned in again, whispered in his ear, "Brother-in-law, if you help Lingling, I'll show you that red lace."
"Really, no going back on your word! Hahaha..." Lin Hao laughed with joy once more.
"You're not allowed to laugh anymore!" Luo Yimei blushed bright red, punching him again.
After their playful quarrel, Huang Wanling also came out of the bathroom, and the three of them left Song City together.
...
Past eleven o'clock at night, a car stopped at Jiaxing Garden District.
This district was somewhat remote, and it was a relatively old community, without even a guard at the entrance.
However, Lin Hao didn't enter through the front door. Instead, he went around the back, roughly determined the location, changed into an overcoat, and put on gloves and a baseball cap.
The walls around this community were very low. Lin Hao found a place to climb over and soon found the apartment Secretary Zhang had mentioned.
This community's apartment buildings were walk-ups, with two households facing each other. Now, they were mainly retirement homes, and many people were already asleep at this hour.
Click!
Lin Hao twisted the key, and the door opened with a click.
He slowly pushed the door open, closed it immediately, and turned on the light.
It was a two-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom apartment. In the room, Lin Hao found two large suitcases, and when he opened them, he was utterly dumbfounded.
One suitcase was full of cash, and the other was filled with gold bars.
Inside the suitcase was a bag, and in it were also bank cards, a diary, and a flash drive containing records of receiving and giving bribes.
"On X year, X month, X day, XX brought three gold bars for promotion to director..."
"On X year, X month, X day, XX Chairman provided a bank card and password for securing the XXX project..."
Lin Hao felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the shocking data inside.
Because he was Secretary Zhang's secretary, but how come he didn't know anything about these matters?
This truly means that he was an incompetent secretary!
In the past, some people had used him to pass on bribes to Secretary Zhang, but those were merely trivial things not worth mentioning.
He never thought that the real embezzlement and bribery wouldn't be trusted to others but performed personally by high officials and big bosses.
