() Looking at the gadget that Zhang Yuanshan took out, Li Bingqi said: "Brother Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Yuanshan chuckled and said: "This is a gadget that my sister Tuo Shi bought for me online. I was curious about it at first, but now it comes in handy. It's called a wireless surveillance detector. If there are surveillance probes within a ten-meter radius .It will immediately make a warning sound of 'beep, beep, beep'."

Li Bing said happily: "So that's the case. No wonder Brother Zhang seems to be confident. He is not afraid of being monitored."

When the two returned to the living room, they saw a beautiful young woman whispering something in Jiang Wei's ear. After listening to her words, Jiang Wei waved his hand to signal her to leave.

Jiang Wei said naturally: "I heard from Xiao Wang in the reception department that Miss Zhao is interested in investing and cooperating with us. I don't know how much money Miss Zhao is prepared to invest."

When Li Bing heard this, he immediately understood. The young lady must have secretly verified Zhao Waner's identity and reported it to Jiang Wei. Only then did Jiang Wei dispel his doubts and raise the topic of cooperation straight to the point.

Zhao Waner glanced at Li Bing who came back from the bathroom. After thinking for a moment, she replied tactfully: "Mr. Jiang, I just listened to your introduction about holding a beauty pageant. I initially decided to participate in this event. Throw in 10 million. It's caused by The sensational effect should be much stronger than if I invest directly in advertising. Although I have made up my mind, I still need to seek the opinion of the board of directors. Everything including the investment amount needs to be discussed. Give me a week and we will consider signing a cooperation agreement."

Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he heard Zhao Waner's understatement about a huge investment worth tens of millions. He said with joy on his face: "That's what it should be. You don't have to go back to the hotel to stay. Just stay in my villa. It's sweltering outside now. I'm not bragging. Spending the summer in my villa is not necessarily worse than Mount Lu."

Zhao Waner smiled slightly and said: "The environment here is really good. I like it very much. Thank you for Mr. Jiang's warm hospitality. Then we are welcome to stay here for a few days."

Jiang Wei repeatedly said "You're welcome" and called out: "Xiao Li, please come and help arrange the rooms for some distinguished guests."

The woman named Xiao Li came in response. She smiled and led several people to the rooms on the right side of the living room.

The layout of the room is no different from that of a high-end hotel. It is extremely luxurious. Li Bing asked Xiao Li, who was smiling like a flower: "Xiao Li, why is the door in the innermost room on the corridor blocked with tables, chairs and sundries?" .”

Xiao Li's face changed. His smile returned instantly. He said respectfully: "A few distinguished guests. Our villa has many rooms. Except after the beauty pageant auditions, ten contestants will enter here to receive comprehensive training. Usually there are very few. When someone comes, that room is of little use, so it sits idle."

Li Bing said "Oh": "So that's it. Xiao Li, how long have you been working in this villa?"

When Xiao Li heard this, he proudly said: "I have been working here since the villa was built. Time flies so fast. It has been about eight years. Since the first beauty pageant, all the contestants who advanced have... It’s me who arranges our daily life.”

Li Bing's eyes lit up. He quickly added: "Xiao Li, it turns out you are a veteran here. I want to ask something. Before we come here, we were asked by a friend to ask about a person who came here five years ago to accept I wonder if you can tell us about the people being trained."

Xiao Li said with a smile: "Oh, you really asked the right person. Although my education is very low, my memory is very good. I don't even need to check the records of the beauties who have received training here. I remember them all clearly. Li Sir, I don’t know which beauty you want to ask about.”

Li Bing was secretly happy and said: "Xiao Li, I would like to inquire about Miss Shi Lin who came here for etiquette training five years ago."

Xiao Li's face changed drastically when he heard this. He changed his sweet tone just now and said coldly: "I'm sorry. I have never heard of anyone named Shi Lin among the beauties. Mr. Li, if you don't believe me, I can tell you that back then I’ve found the registration information for you to review for yourselves.”

Li Bing felt a chill in his heart and was extremely disappointed. After a while, the hope in his heart emerged again. From Zhang Yuanshan telling him that there was resentment in the villa area and the change in Xiao Li's expression just now, Li Bing was sure in his heart that this villa must be a good place to live. It hides a secret that no one knows about. Xiao Li’s deliberate denial just revealed that this topic is taboo for people in this villa.

While he was concentrating, Xiao Li left the room and returned after a while.

She held several account books in her hands, put them on the coffee table and said softly: "Mr. Li, these are the records of guests we have received here. If you don't believe it, you can check it. After you read it, I have to put it back. If the chairman finds out, I will be fired."

Li Bing hurriedly said thank you and started to check it carefully. The result really disappointed him. As expected, there was no record of Shi Lin's stay in the three registers. He couldn't even see the door marked 'Xinlian' which was blocked by tables and chairs. room usage records.

He read it carefully several times and found no trace of torn pages on the account book. He couldn't help but be disappointed.

Li Bing closed the account book and handed it back to Xiao Li. Pretending to be casual, he asked: "Xiao Li, since this is Mr. Jiang's private villa, why didn't we see the hostess when we came?"

Xiao Li nervously looked back at the door and said quietly: "You have actually met our hostess before you entered the villa."

Li Bing said in surprise: "This is impossible. Before we came in, we saw a woman in the bamboo forest at the entrance of the villa. But that woman was so crazy. She was burning incense and kowtowing in the bamboo forest. I don't know what she was talking about. She actually She is your wife, Mr. Jiang."

Xiao Li sighed and said: "Exactly. This is also our Mr. Jiang's misfortune. The hostess's name is Zhang Yafang. She is one year older than our chairman. The two were childhood sweethearts. Later they fell in love and started a family when they grew up. No. I know what's going on. The mistress has never been pregnant, so Mr. Jiang still has no bloodline to pass on."

"Shortly after the first beauty pageant ended five years ago, something unfortunate happened. The hostess became what you see now. Alas, how pitiful she is."

Li Bing's doubts became even greater. He wondered whether the hostess Zhang Yafang's going crazy might be related to the first beauty pageant. It might even be directly related to Shi Lin's disappearance.

Xiao Li smiled and said: "Several distinguished guests, the chairman said that you will stay here for a few days. If you have any needs in life, just ask. You are welcome. If you feel bored staying in the villa, I can recommend a place. Let you go and relax."

Xiao Li tells everyone that although this winding mountain road ends in front of the villa area, it can be divided into two. The other end leads to a temple less than 500 meters away from the villa area.
