Chapter 136 - 128: President Yin, What Are You Expecting?

Chapter 136: Chapter 128: President Yin, What Are You Expecting?

The call connected, and Yu Dong’s calm voice came through from the other end.

"Officer Wang, this is Yu Dong. Everything’s going smoothly over here. How about you?"

"Okay, got it."

Yin Shuangyang, who had just been enjoying a cat-and-mouse game with his prey, felt the smile freeze on his face.

"President Yin, what were you hoping for?"

The corner of Wang Dingbei’s mouth lifted into a sneer.

’To think he saw me, Wang Dingbei, as some amateur... that’s rich.’

Yin Shuangyang had completely lost his earlier composure. His most important card against Wang Dingbei was gone.

’With nothing holding him back, Wang Dingbei is sure to come after me like a rabid dog.’

"Hmph! Even so... you’ve done all you can. Once you’re done auditing my accounts, you should be on your way."

’He hadn’t succeeded, but he wouldn’t be in trouble for now. After all, he’d hired professionals to cook the books and destroy all the original records.’

’As for the accounts he couldn’t fix... his men would take care of the people involved. That included the few who were just taken in for questioning. It was perfectly normal for them to have a little "accident" on the way.’

In fact, his men were already on their way.

’If they wanted to touch him, Yin Shuangyang... he wouldn’t mind bringing Yanhai City down with him first.’

’It was just murder. It’s not like he hadn’t done it before.’

But Wang Dingbei looked as if he’d just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Yin Shuangyang, did you really think I came here to audit your books? Even if I found something, you’d just end up in prison. Besides, I never intended to find any holes in your accounting."

Yin Shuangyang sneered. "Then why put on this whole show? Be my guest."

Just then, two police officers rushed in. One was Wang Dingbei’s old superior, Captain Ma.

Yin Shuangyang’s eyes narrowed at the sight of him.

’Ma’s presence meant the entire Yanhai City criminal investigation division was backing Wang Dingbei.’

’This definitely wasn’t some sudden raid by Wang Dingbei alone!’

A sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

Captain Ma said, "Wang, our guys staking out the key figures all got a bite! We caught the hitmen. We just checked—there are clear financial transactions between them and Yin Shuangyang, plus some call logs and messages that weren’t wiped clean..."

At that, the color drained from Yin Shuangyang’s face!

’If it were just his thugs, it wouldn’t matter. As long as he wasn’t brought down, he could use money to appease them and keep them quiet. They could do their time.’

’But these hitmen... they were the ones who carried out his murders.’

’The ones who killed for him!’

Wang Dingbei shot a venomous glare at Yin Shuangyang.

"Audit your books, my ass! I’m a goddamn detective! I’m investigating you for murder and arson! The kind that gets you the death penalty!"

"Did you think we’d forgotten about the detective who died in that hotel fire two years ago? No! The entire detective squad remembers!"

"So you dug up some dirt on me, got me demoted to a beat cop, and hired a few bastards taking your dirty money to keep an eye on me? You thought that would be enough to stop me?"

All the detectives present stared grimly at Yin Shuangyang.

It wasn’t just Wang Dingbei; the entire detective squad and their colleagues in various oversight departments had been preparing for this day for over a year!

They were just waiting for the one chance to crush Yin Shuangyang completely!

Yu Dong’s ledger had given them that chance!

Yin Shuangyang’s face was ashen. An audit was nothing, but if all the agents who did his dirty work were exposed... he was utterly finished.

The things he’d done would earn him a bullet!

Wang Dingbei looked at Yin Shuangyang and patted him on the cheek.

"President Yin, remember what I told you? I’m coming for your life!"

"Cuff Yin Shuangyang and take him away!"

After being cuffed, Yin Shuangyang glared at Wang Dingbei, his eyes as venomous as a scorpion’s.

"Wang Dingbei, don’t celebrate too soon..."

"Save your breath. Whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve, bring them on! I’ll be waiting. Take him away!"

Yin Shuangyang, the wealthiest man in Yanhai City, was placed under a joint investigation.

He was investigated for multiple crimes, including contract killing, bribery of high-ranking officials, kidnapping, and extortion.

That day, a massive earthquake shook the political and business circles of Yanhai City.

...

Yu Dong received his 10 million.

But he wasn’t in a particularly good mood.

As he thought back on the morning’s events, he couldn’t shake the feeling... that he had been used by Wang Dingbei.

’Wang Dingbei had intentionally kept them in the dark about being exposed, allowing the thugs to tail them so he could catch them all in one fell swoop.’

’During that process, if the thugs had lost their nerve and acted prematurely, he or Xufeng could have been in serious danger...’

’To achieve his goal of catching Yin Shuangyang, Wang Dingbei had turned them into pawns.’

It didn’t feel good.

On the bright side... the outcome was good. Yu Dong and his group were unharmed, and they had even used Officer Wang’s people to eliminate a potential threat ahead of schedule.

The mysterious person who had been tailing Xufeng was sipping tea when a group of plainclothes officers surrounded and pinned him down.

The mysterious man was arrested. With a firearms charge, it would be very difficult for him to get out.

Yu Dong made a call.

"Officer Jing, did that man say anything?"

"Not a word. He’s like a mute... Extremely high mental fortitude. We suspect he’s a professionally trained spy. How did you get tangled up with someone like that?"

"I don’t know..."

"Alright, I’ll let you know if we get anything."

After hanging up, Yu Dong grew even more curious about Zhou.

’What exactly is Zhou’s identity... How did he end up being watched by a spy? And that Mei...’

Yu Dong felt his thoughts were a jumbled mess.

’Zhou still wasn’t answering his phone. He seemed to be busy with something important. Yu Dong was worried that Zhou Jian Country was still holed up on a Sunday, tinkering with that damn experiment of his. Was he going to have to go drag him out personally again?’

"Dongzi, time to start unloading the fuel!"

"Oh... okay."

Yu Dong pushed the matter aside for now. The coming apocalypse was more important. Many things that seemed so significant now would be meaningless then.

Eliminating this threat ahead of time was good enough.

After receiving the money, Yu Dong and his group bought all the remaining barreled fuel on the delivery ship. They also rented a warehouse at B Port to store it all.

The price for gasoline was 9,250 yuan per ton, and diesel was 7,700 yuan per ton.

They took it all: 320 tons of gasoline and 300 tons of diesel.

The total cost came to 5.27 million yuan.

It was all stockpiled in the warehouse, destined to become firepower against the tide of corpses in the future.

According to Zhou, once they weaponized this stuff, it would be more effective against the corpse tide than artillery.

While Yu Dong and Xufeng were stockpiling the fuel, Huang Zhiqiang and Zhao Youcai secretly boarded the cruise ship. They were scouting the interior and confirming the locations of their key targets, making sure no one was missed.

Thursday passed in a flurry of activity.

That evening, Yu Dong received a call from Ding Ming, and the two chatted for a bit.

This time, Ding Ming’s tone was no longer one of weary endurance; he sounded much happier.

"Sounds like you’re having fun playing games with your little brother."

"Fun? He’s so bad... I could just about die from frustration playing with him every day, hahaha."

"Oh? Is that so? I can hear you laughing non-stop."

"Hehe~ Brother Dong, just tell me. What do you need my help with? Just say the word, and when I get back... I’ll definitely do it for you."

"What’s with the gangster talk? Don’t overthink it. Just have fun and remember to come find me on Sunday morning. I’ll arrange a check-up for you."

"But... I feel uneasy about it. Brother Dong, you’ve been too good to me. I feel bad not doing anything in return..."

"It’s fine. If you really feel that way, just bring us back some local snacks when you return. We can all share them."

"What local specialties could we possibly have here? It’s all factories... How about I bring you a bow? The bows and arrows made here are incredible. We supply them to countries all over the world."

"Huh???"

Suddenly, inspiration struck. Yu Dong abruptly remembered the English letters on his compound crossbow.

HNJZ.

’Holy shit, that’s it!?’
