The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1139 - 1108

Xia Sanqiang had already told everything he knew, hoping he could receive leniency.

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Since you’ve spoken, then finish what you started, and avoid trouble on both sides. Otherwise, you’re still not going to end up in a good situation."

"Boss, I really have told everything, I haven’t hidden anything. Now there are two ways to proceed: either you use the CCTV footage from the competition venue to look for clues, or you can review the broadcasts from the various TV stations, maybe you’ll find some footage of Ah Bin," Xia Sanqiang said.

"That’s a good idea." Huo Yingjie nodded, "We’ve already got people on it, and now you’re relatively safe in the hospital, your life should be spared."

"But... but my gambling debts..." Xia Sanqiang was getting anxious; he had told them everything he could.

"Once we find the mastermind, we’ll naturally resolve these problems for you. If not, then you’re on your own," Huo Yingjie said, not being a saint, and would only take care of these minor matters once everything was over. freёwebnoѵel.com

Huo Yingjie left the hospital, with Huashan closely following behind.

Huashan hurriedly asked, "Yingjie, did we get any useful information?"

"Where did we store those sealed videos?" Huo Yingjie inquired, "Xia Sanqiang only knows that the man is called Ah Bin, and then he pointed out where the man was sitting."

"They’re still at the sports hall. No one except the police has touched those videos," Huashan responded, "Let’s head over there now."

"Alright," Huo Yingjie nodded and went directly to the sports venue.

Based on the position provided by Xia Sanqiang, they found the corresponding footage.

Even though the pixels weren’t high, one could roughly make out their appearance.

True enough, at three different positions, there was the man wearing a baseball cap. Although he was wearing different clothes, based on the experience of the undercover officers, the man was about 1.8 meters tall and weighed between 70 to 75 kilograms.

Using the video from when the man entered the venue, Huashan was able to capture his face when he looked up and immediately saved it.

Just as Huashan was about to close the video, Huo Yingjie stopped him, saying, "Wait, I’ve noticed something very coincidental."

Once might be a coincidence.

But twice, and then three times, it’s most likely intentional.

"What coincidence?" Huashan asked, "Where is it?"

"Look, six or seven seats from this man, you can always see this mother and son," Huo Yingjie said, "Judging from the woman’s attire, she must be the wife of some wealthy Xiangjiang family."

One of the local security personnel from Xiangjiang quickly said, "I recognize this person, her name is Zhaoding Xianghui, a celebrity in Xiangjiang. A mistress who rose to the top, managed to drive the legitimate wife out of Xiangjiang, gave birth to a child, a case of an old husband with a younger wife, and after the man died, she took control of all the Zhao Family’s assets."

"Oh?" Huashan was surprised, "Yes, that woman appears every time. Hearing you say this, she does seem quite formidable."

Huashan looked carefully at the woman, feeling that her facial features were a bit strange and didn’t match any of the dozens of types recorded in physiognomy.

"This woman is pretty beautiful," Huashan remarked, "What else do you know?"

"What I know, I heard from the entertainment newspapers, about family feuds among the wealthy," the middle-aged man said. "But I heard before that she looks so enchanting because she’s had plastic surgery."

"Plastic surgery?" Huashan had a realization, "No wonder I also thought her face looked a bit odd. Boss, I think it’s necessary to consider this person as a subject of our investigation."

Huo Yingjie nodded, "Yes, very suspicious, it seems like she and Ah Bin made eye contact."

"Send someone to keep watching the footage to see if there’s other information, and send someone to investigate both this Ah Bin and Zhaoding Xianghui," Huo Yingjie instructed, feeling that they were getting closer to the truth.

Huo Yingjie was growing impatient.

"Yes, Boss," Huashan agreed, instructing the people below to get to work.

Huo Yingjie and Huashan split up to conduct their investigations.

Huo Yingjie had a hunch that this major effort in Xiangjiang might not end in vain.

While Huo Yingjie and Huashan were busy investigating, the national swimming team was experiencing relative calm. Although they weren’t allowed to go out shopping freely, they could still eat some delicious food.

Not only eating, but they could also watch movies in the hotel, preparing for the upcoming charity gala.

Xiangjiang is a place with highly developed media. Television, radio, newspapers, and magazines had reported extensively for several days, and everyone could recognize He Tiantian, the swimming athlete.

While praising He Tiantian’s swimming prowess, they also admired her beauty. Some enterprises even wanted He Tiantian to endorse their products.

However, because of regulations from above, Zhu Zhitao politely refused.

The exchange tournament only lasted two days before it ended. After that, were the social activities.

Some local celebrities attended the charity banquet.

This time, the charity banquet was organized by a local philanthropist, Mr. Li, the richest man in Xiangjiang, who invited Zhu Zhitao and others. Therefore, Zhu Zhitao led the team in the name of the national team to attend.

They were attending, of course, not to donate money.

It’s said that their national team really didn’t have much money, but to inspire others to donate.

Xie Feifei was somewhat excited, looking at her clothes in the suitcase with a troubled expression, "Teacher He, we’re going to the charity gala, what clothes should we wear? We can’t possibly go in sportswear, right?"

He Tiantian was watching TV, an interesting variety show from Xiangjiang.

"Hehe, we’re athletes, not socialite celebrities; it’s normal to wear sportswear," He Tiantian said, her reply not satisfying Xie Feifei.

Xie Feifei sat down in front of He Tiantian, "Teacher He, but it’s the richest man, right? All the celebrities from Xiangjiang will be there, we’ll look too shabby like this!"

Hearing Xie Feifei say this, He Tiantian became somewhat displeased, saying, "Feifei, why do we get to attend that kind of banquet?"

"Because we represent the national swimming team," Xie Feifei replied, looking puzzled at He Tiantian.

Is Teacher He dumb? Doesn’t she know this?

"You just said it, representing the national swimming team as athletes. It’s perfectly fine for athletes to wear sportswear to a banquet," He Tiantian stated, "Besides, our newly issued sportswear is from a well-known domestic sports brand; the material is high-quality, and the design is trendy. It looks good when we wear it."

"Er... you’re right!" Xie Feifei thought it over and felt that He Tiantian made a good point.

However, thinking about the clothes worn by celebrities and socialites, Xie Feifei felt a bit envious again.

Previously, she had only seen these scenes on TV and in the movies, and now they were going to be part of it.

In the glitz and glamour, they would be the envy of others!
