After Zhou Mingfei finished reading it, he asked with a dark face, “Why should I listen to you? Why should I investigate this just because you say so?”

Jiang Tong spread her hands and replied, “You don’t have to investigate. After all, I’m not the one who will be arrested.”

“You!” Zhou Mingfei choked and glared at Jiang Tong. Unfortunately, Jiang Tong did not look at him at all. She walked unsteadily to Zhou Jingyun’s side and sat down. She asked him, “What are we going to eat later? I’m hungry.”

Zhou Jingyun asked, “What do you want to eat?”

Jiang Tong thought for a moment before replying, “I want to eat something light. Let’s have Japanese food.”

Zhou Jingyun said, “Okay, my friend just happened to tell me the other day that there’s a new Japanese food restaurant on Xining Street. The food apparently tastes pretty good. Let’s go over and try it later.”

The two of them discussed what they would eat later as if there was no one else around. They turned a blind eye to Zhou Mingfei. Zhou Mingfei glared at Jiang Tong for a while. Finally, he picked up the phone and called for someone. He ordered, “Inform the food and beverage department, the sales department, and the cleaning department...” he said several departments in a row. Finally, he ended the call with, “Gather everyone in the lobby on the second floor in ten minutes.”

After he hung up the call, Zhou Mingfei made another call. He said, “Old Xu, go to the lobby on the second floor and give those people a lecture.” After the two phone calls, everyone was transferred away. Zhou Mingfei called his trusted bodyguards again and asked them to bring people along with them and search the rooms of all these people who were on Jiang Tong’s list. His trusted bodyguards were all from the Zhou family. Many of them were retired special forces. They were professionals in investigating people. After arranging everything, Zhou Mingfei returned to the sofa and continued to glare at Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong lazily looked up at him. She said, “Little brother, remember to apologize to me later!”

‘Little brother?! To hell with that!’

Zhou Mingfei was about to explode with anger. He could not understand why his brother would find such a bad-tempered woman to be his girlfriend! Could it be that his brother had been driven mad by Shao Ying? So he wanted to find a similarly ruthless woman to fight Shao Ying in the ring? In the end, whoever won would get him?

Zhou Mingfei had a lot of people under him, so the search was completed very quickly. In about twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Zhou Mingfei said.

......

The bodyguard came in with a tray. There were some messy things on the tray such as tablets, computers, and eavesdropping devices. “Boss...” after he put down the items, he leaned down and said something into Zhou Mingfei’s ear. Zhou Mingfei’s expression changed continuously when he heard his bodyguard speak.

After he was done, Zhou Mingfei first picked up the diary and quickly looked at the pages that recorded the names of many guests. There were also some meeting times and phone numbers. He then picked up the confiscated phones and computers, and he saw some video images and audio recordings that were secretly taken. These were all photos of the interior facilities and business scenes of Lihao Ballroom.

The more he looked, the faster Zhou Mingfei’s breathing became. His expression also became fiercer. The veins on his forehead bulged. No one would record these things for no reason. He even saw a photo of the accounts in one of the folders on the computer!

What Jiang Tong said was true!

“Arrest everyone on this list immediately!” Zhou Mingfei suddenly stood up and said angrily.

“You can’t arrest them. If any of them goes missing, the higher-ups might take action earlier than expected. They have already gotten some evidence, but they still don’t have the most important evidence on the casino. That is why they haven’t made a move yet,” Jiang Tong raised her hand to stop him.

The bodyguard stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Zhou Mingfei. Jiang Tong also looked at him. She asked, “Do you want to vent your anger and end up in prison, or do you want to get through this safely?”

Zhou Mingfei, who was in a rage, finally calmed down. His back was covered in cold sweat. At this moment, Jiang Tong ordered the bodyguard, “Send the things back intact.”

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Zhou Mingfei didn’t object, he picked up the things and went out. Zhou Mingfei took a few deep breaths before he slowly sat down. His eyes kept flashing as he thought of all kinds of terrible consequences.

“Do you want to go to jail?” Jiang Tong raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Mingfei.

Zhou Mingfei suddenly looked at Jiang Tong. He asked, “What should I do?” He thought of many solutions in his mind, but none of them could safely resolve the situation he was in.

“Apologize, and I’ll teach you.” Jiang Tong was calm and composed. Although she had accepted Zhou Jingyun’s money to help Zhou Mingfei, Zhou Mingfei was too disobedient and needed to be taught a good lesson.

“So petty?” Zhou Jingyun tilted his head and scratched the tip of Jiang Tong’s nose. He said gently, “Mingfei is also your younger brother. We’re all family. Don’t take what he said and did to heart.” Of course, he was putting on an act. Zhou Jingyun still could not figure out Jiang Tong’s background, but he had to admit that Jiang Tong was a capable person. Once the evidence was presented, it already proved that what she said was true. Therefore, what Zhou Jingyun had to consider now was how to protect Zhou Mingfei.
