    Chapter 67: Is “Unforgettable Tonight” nice to listen to?

    After seeing Xiao Zhao’s confused expression, Wu Hongyi stood up, his face serious as he reached for the desk lamp and retrieved a black listening device.

    He then began searching around the office, and after finding all the listening devices, he placed them next to the computer.

    He opened a music player and played the song “Unforgettable Tonight.”

    Xiao Zhao silently watched Wu Hongyi’s actions, unbelieving as he stared at the ten listening devices.

    “You can speak now!”

    As the music slowly started, Wu Hongyi finally spoke.

    “Director, who set this up?” Xiao Zhao asked in a low voice.

    Wu Hongyi shook his head indifferently, “Get to the point!”

    Hearing this, Xiao Zhao had to put aside his doubts and quickly nodded.

    “Alright!”

    “Director, in the past, you always sent me to Li You Group and Tian Sheng Hotel, but now you’ve replaced me with Da Zhuang. Also, I’ve already told Da Zhuang to go to Li You Group…”

    At this point, Xiao Zhao’s words abruptly stopped, his eyes widening in disbelief.

    “Director! You… Does this mean Da Zhuang is behind all these listening devices?”

    Before he could finish, Wu Hongyi interrupted him.

    “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know!”

    Xiao Zhao quickly fell silent under Wu Hongyi’s glare, but he had already concluded that Da Zhuang was definitely the mole.

    He put aside his doubts and continued asking,

    “Then, Director, what’s our next move?”

    “What time is it?” Wu Hongyi asked in return.

    “It’s almost twelve,” Xiao Zhao replied seriously.

    “Mm! Time’s up!”

    Wu Hongyi said meaningfully,

    “Call Xiao Li, Old Jiang, and Da Mao. We’ll head out in a moment!”

    Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao quickly nodded.

    Once the director said this, it was time to set the trap.

    At the top floor of Tian Sheng Hotel.

    Tonight, Tian Sheng looked unusually quiet.

    It was a special night; the casino on the top floor of Tian Sheng had been reserved.

    At the bar, five middle-aged men were drinking and chatting.

    “Boss Fang, aren’t you afraid of the Inspection Office? I heard they secretly returned to Deep City just to destroy Tian Sheng Hotel!” one of the men at the edge of the group whispered.

    The man in the middle, who was playing with a glass in his hand, snorted disdainfully.

    “Afraid? I, Fang Shengnian, have never been afraid of anyone in Deep City!”

    “The Inspection Office? Just a name, a bunch of useless people! Didn’t they visit a couple of times before and leave empty-handed? So what if they try a comeback this time? They’ll find nothing in the end!”

    “You guys should stop making things up! Just eat and drink! Don’t take it to heart!”

    Fang Shengnian spoke with full confidence, his tone arrogant!

    “Boss Fang, even though you say that, we should still be cautious during this time!” another man suggested.

    “Cautious? I never imagined you guys would be so timid!” Fang Shengnian angrily took a drink, then turned around and stood up from his chair.

    “Damn! Deep City is my territory! Do you know the big shot, Long Da, above us? He’s already on our side! And his father is a national-level important figure! What can the Inspection Office do to us?”

    “You guys can just invest your money with me! At the end of the year, you’ll definitely get your share of the profit!”

    The other two middle-aged men still looked skeptical.

    Before they could speak, Fang Shengnian interrupted them.

    “Don’t worry about it!”

    With that, he pulled out his phone.

    A beautiful song started playing from the speaker.

    “Boss Fang, do you like this song?”

    “No! This is the song Wu Hongyi likes! I didn’t expect Wu Hongyi to have such taste!”

    Fang Shengnian said with a smile,

    “Look, even the Inspection Office has my inside sources! Whatever they do, I know it right away! With this, what are you still afraid of?”

    The other four men were shocked upon hearing this.

    Fang Shengnian was really powerful to have such connections within the Inspection Office!

    “Boss Fang, you’re amazing!”

    “You’re incredible, Boss Fang! From now on, we’ll follow you!”

    They all praised him, and Fang Shengnian felt a little proud, his mood greatly lifted.

    “Hahaha, don’t tease me like that!”

    Then, he excitedly said to the others,

    “Come on, brothers, today we’ve got some fresh high school girls to entertain.”

    The four men immediately frowned.

    “Ah, Boss Fang, you’re too generous!”

    Fang Shengnian grinned, then led the way.

    What he didn’t realize was that his life was now on a countdown.

    The reason behind it was Liu Youheng, one of his trusted subordinates.

    Meanwhile, on the main road, unmarked police cars were speeding toward their destination.

    Their final goal was to take down Tian Sheng Hotel.

    At 1:00 AM, the new day had arrived.

    The police force split into two groups.

    A small part was sent to Li You Group.

    The majority gathered downstairs at Tian Sheng Hotel.

    The raid was swift and efficient.

    In less than five minutes, everyone at Tian Sheng Hotel was under control.

    “Director Wu!”

    “Mm! Where’s Fang Shengnian?” Wu Hongyi asked seriously as he looked around.

    “He’s over there,” someone replied, pointing.

    “Let me go! I have status! I’m the city representative of Deep City! You can’t arrest me! Be careful, I’ll have you fired!”

    Fang Shengnian, with his shirt off, hands cuffed behind his back, was hysterically shouting.

    His peripheral vision caught sight of Wu Hongyi standing nearby.

    He froze, his body shaking as if struck by lightning.

    “Boss Fang, long time no see!”

    Wu Hongyi said, stretching out his pinky finger and tapping his ear with an impatient expression.

    “Stop yelling! Do you see these people? They’re all from Lin City, here to arrest you!”

    “As for your city representative status? Sorry, that title has been revoked!”

    As soon as the words were spoken, Fang Shengnian’s face turned ashen, his body going cold.

    So, Wu Hongyi had already gathered evidence on him?

    “This must be that old bastard Jiang Anbang’s doing!” Fang Shengnian muttered with hatred.

    “By the way, Boss Fang, do you like ‘Unforgettable Tonight’?” Wu Hongyi teased.

    “You! You’re setting me up…”

    “Take him away!”

    Wu Hongyi immediately cut off Fang Shengnian’s words, his smile fading into cold indifference.

    “Da Mao, Xiao Zhao, Old Jiang, follow me! Not a single one of them gets away!”

    After finishing the search of Tian Sheng Hotel, Wu Hongyi lit a cigarette and slowly left the building.

    “Director, where are we going now?”

    “Let’s go have a chat with Director Long,” Wu Hongyi said casually.

    Three hours later, as dawn broke, the elite circles of Deep City were in chaos.

    Long Da had been arrested.

    The Tian Sheng Hotel operation was busted.

    Even Fang Shengnian, who claimed to have extensive connections, was taken away!

    Meanwhile, the mastermind behind it all, Shen Fei, was sound asleep.

    In his dream, he was enjoying a sweet moment with Han Xinyan when his phone suddenly rang.
