Chapter 969 A Crude Trap
Before Tian Fengyi could even catch his breath after seeing Qi Tongwei off, the phone rang again.
It was Redmond again. He seemed impatient and made it clear that if Tian Fengyi didn't arrive at the tavern within half an hour, he would be in for a rough time.
"Damn it, I'm not kidding you. If you don't come over in half an hour, I guarantee your picture will be in the newspaper tomorrow."
Tian Fengyi finally experienced the bitterness of being a woman.
A single photograph can utterly destroy a person with a personality.
Sneaking into the tavern, they were met with another round of punches and kicks.
After the fight, one of the henchmen dragged the man to Raymond.
Raymond waved Tian Fengyi's photo in front of him. "Mayor, how about we make a deal? If you do us a favor, this photo will disappear from the world forever."
"What...what kind of deal? No problem, anything I can do."
Tian Fengyi didn't trust these untrustworthy Germans, but since he was under their roof, he just wanted to agree and leave.
“I’ve heard that you have a very young mayor. If you can help us lure him out and let us take a picture like this, I promise I won’t bother you anymore,” Raymond said.
Qi Tongwei!
Tian Fengyi was shocked; he thought these Germans had gone mad!
too crazy!
Qi Tongwei is not him.
There's a world of difference between two department heads, and between two mayors.
He's a promising young cadre favored by both the central government and Hanjiang Province. If he falls because of himself, he'll likely suffer a much worse fate than if he were to make a scandal.
"This... Boss, that guy isn't like me, he's not a womanizer!"
Raymond clearly didn't believe it. "There's no man in this world who doesn't like women, unless... he's not a man."
Tian Fengyi thought to himself, "What do a bunch of scoundrels know about men?"
Can a woman, no matter how good she is, possess the allure and charm of power?
"Okay, boss, what do you want me to do?" Tian Fengyi had already made up his mind: he would hide when he got back, or simply return to China. He couldn't stay in Germany any longer.
As for his scandals, he could only try to spend some money and hire some brokerage family to smooth things over.
"You find a way to lure him out, and Mary will handle the rest."
“Mary? Can she do it? She’s so young, she…”
"What's wrong with her? If she can fool you, she can fool him too."
"OK, OK, but what if she fails? I can't keep creating opportunities for you. Besides, how can I trust you to keep your word?"
Raymond suddenly grabbed Tian Fengyi by the neck and pulled him towards himself, staring at him fiercely, and said, word by word, "You have no choice."
Tian Fengyi was filled with fear and shut his mouth.
"I'm warning you, don't try anything funny, or I'll put your picture in the newspaper tomorrow!"
……
The Heston Hotel.
After resting for two days, Tian Fengyi's facial swelling had subsided considerably.
After much deliberation, he decided to trust the Germans one more time.
After all, hiring a broker's family would cost a considerable sum, and he was reluctant to part with it.
However, he wouldn't dare to openly swindle Qi Tongwei.
Fortunately, there is a ready-made opportunity to do this legitimately.
Early in the morning, Tian Fengyi found Qi Tongwei and discussed organizing a visit to a private museum.
He selected two large private museums, both of which indicated they could clear their premises to accommodate only them, provided that the madam was present.
"If you agree, Tongwei, then we'll meet at 9:30 this morning and set off. After visiting the museum, we'll have a meal together to celebrate our victory. After that, we'll have free time. We'll return to the hotel at 5:00 and have a debriefing meeting at 6:00."
Qi Tongwei nodded. "Okay, you make the decision."
Qi Tongwei didn't take this event very seriously; it was mainly a way for him to express his support to his subordinates.
Tell people that Qi Tongwei is not heartless; he will organize what needs to be organized.
Secondly, it also gives Tian Fengyi something to do, so he won't just wander around aimlessly.
"By the way, where should we have lunch?"
"Tentatively, it will be HB Tavern," Tian Fengyi said.
"HB Tavern? Didn't you guys already go there?"
"Yes, the comrades who have been there all said the atmosphere was great. I thought about it and decided that this place was perfect for a celebration banquet, so I chose it."
They have a dedicated room on the fourth floor for team activities, where they won't be disturbed by outsiders.
Qi Tongwei nodded. "Since it's everyone's opinion, let's go."
...
At 10 a.m., three buses, escorted by Munich police cars, arrived at the "Karl Private Museum".
This is a fairly large museum; in terms of area and decoration, it is more luxurious and larger than their Beishan Museum.
Tian Fengyi explained, "This is the largest private museum in Munich, which has collected precious cultural relics from many countries, but mainly Chinese cultural relics."
His grandfather was said to have been an officer in the Eight-Nation Alliance during the war.
"What a national disgrace! They take our things and try to collect money from us Chinese people. It's truly a national disgrace!"
"How much did they take, you son of a bitch! Those Germans are no good at all!"
"Everyone, everyone, we must never forget our original aspirations, we must work hard to develop, and we must take it back in the future!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we should strive to make ourselves strong!"
Some sighed, some cursed, and some were greatly inspired.
...
The group entered with a sigh.
As soon as I entered, two female staff members dressed in professional attire greeted me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our guides, Risa and Mary, will now accompany you and provide introductions."
At this point, quite a few people recognized Mary.
"Isn't this the woman who sat with us in the tavern the other day?"
"It's her. She's a tour guide at this museum."
Upon hearing the whispers and combining them with the snippets of conversation he had overheard earlier, Qi Tongwei immediately realized that this was the German beauty who had been the subject of a "scandal" with Tian Fengyi.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but take a second look. She was a middle-aged woman with a worldly air about her, more like a businesswoman than a museum guide steeped in culture.
If I were to rate her looks out of 100, I'd give her around 70, including her makeup and fashion sense.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. This Tian Fengyi, after all, was a mayor of a city, yet he was really going to be so desperate.
"Comrade Fengyi, no wonder you chose this place, it turns out you have an 'old acquaintance' here," Qi Tongwei teased.
Everyone laughed.
Tian Fengyi gave an awkward smile, "I really didn't know she was here. Don't misunderstand, I really have nothing to do with her."
No one believed it; how could such a coincidence happen?
Qi Tongwei didn't believe it either.
He already knew that the other person had sneaked off to the tavern, and that the two of them must have hooked up, but whether they had slept together was unclear.
"Alright, please make the arrangements for us."
"Everyone, please come with me."
Risa gestured with her right hand as she explained, while Mary stood beside Qi Tongwei and Tian Fengyi on either side, acting as his accompaniment.
Smelling the other person's cheap perfume, Qi Tongwei felt like his head was about to explode.
I can't stand it at all.
Qi Tongwei shifted his feet slightly, wanting to switch places with Tian Fengyi, but little did he know that Mary was like a shadow, following him silently, almost sticking to him.
Qi Tongwei didn't want to say it outright, so after looking at a few exhibits, he said to Tian Fengyi:
"Comrade Fengyi, you continue the tour with the comrades and the two ladies. I'm going to the restroom."
Qi Tongwei left the group, and Wang Wenjie and Xiao Long followed.
Tian Fengyi watched Qi Tongwei's departing figure without making any move.
He had completed his task and didn't care about anything else.
Mary couldn't sit still. This was a huge order of 20,000 euros, and she had to close it today.
"Sir, let me take you there."
Mary jogged a couple of steps to catch up, and said enthusiastically.
As a "royal bodyguard," Xiao Long cautiously stopped the other party.
Qi Tongwei pointed to the sign on the wall, "Thank you, there are signs here, we can go by ourselves."
Mary smiled charmingly and said, "Mr. Mayor, let me accompany you. You are our honored guest, and the boss will blame me if I do not provide adequate hospitality."
Qi Tongwei was taken aback, but could only nod.
Upon arriving at the restroom, Xiao Long, as usual, went in first to check the safety conditions.
Qi Tongwei waited at the door.
Mary then took the opportunity to pull out her business card and said, "Mr. Mayor, this is my business card. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me." She then emphasized, "Anything."
Damn, they're really after his body.
He wasn't that hungry yet.
Qi Tongwei did not answer. "No need, Miss Mary. We're leaving Germany tomorrow, so let's not waste your reputation."
“Mr. Mayor, tomorrow is still a long day, and we still have a considerable amount of time to spend together today, so you can accept this.”
Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine. Who the hell wants to get along with a woman who's a full twelve years older than him?
Just then, Xiao Long came out, shook his head at Qi Tongwei, and indicated that it was safe.
Qi Tongwei hurriedly went into the bathroom, followed closely by Wang Wenjie.
Mary wanted to go in, but Xiao Long stopped her.
Mary kept talking, but unfortunately Xiao Long couldn't understand German. He just pointed to the sign for the men's restroom above and then went into the restroom.
"Boss, this German woman actually wants to serve us when we go to the toilet. She's fucking open-minded," Xiao Long said with a chuckle.
While urinating, Qi Tongwei said, "This woman is too enthusiastic. Later, you guys should separate her from me and keep her away from me."
Xiao Long chuckled, "Okay, I'll call An Xin and the others over later."
"Hmm." Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Also, Xiao Long, keep an eye on her. I have a feeling that there's something wrong with this woman."
His demeanor was out of place, and his blatant gaze made him seem nothing like an ordinary private museum employee.
Xiao Long immediately became serious and asked, "Should we have the Munich police investigate?"
He was worried that the woman might be an assassin or something similar.
Regardless of the circumstances, Qi Tongwei represents the Chinese government, and if something were to happen to him in Germany, it could trigger international unrest.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that some organizations with ulterior motives and hostile forces may be stirring up trouble in secret.
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment, "Let's leave the police out. If it's true, it would only alert them. I'll contact Mr. Ude and ask him to send someone with expertise to investigate."
Ude was also taken aback when he received the news that someone of unknown identity had approached Qi Tongwei!
This is outrageous! Not to mention that Qi Tongwei is his friend, he has to take him seriously just because of his status as the mayor of Huaxia City.
Udimah immediately stated that an investigation would be launched.
After leaving the restroom, Mary was still waiting at the door, seemingly tired and doing stretching exercises. Coincidentally, she squeezed out two fleshy balls facing Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei's suspicions were further confirmed, and he gave Xiao Long a wink.
The latter nodded.
Back in the exhibition hall, everyone had already looked at a row of exhibits and moved on to the front.
Qi Tongwei didn't follow the crowd; instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, slowly admiring each person one by one.
Mary saw this as a good opportunity and wanted to approach him, but Xiao Long blocked her way. She could only say, "Mr. Mayor, how many of you would like some drinks?"
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Thank you, no need." Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he pointed to the exhibits and asked, "Miss Mary, could you please introduce these precious collections to us?"
Mary paused for a moment.
She was only brought in temporarily and knew nothing about these cultural relics, so she quickly came up with a clever idea:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Mayor, I’m just Miss Risa’s assistant. I usually only handle some service-related tasks. I don’t really know much about these cultural relics.”
"I see." Qi Tongwei nodded. "Miss Mary, how long have you been working here?"
Mary stammered, "Six months."
Six months?
Qi Tongwei smiled, now certain that this woman was definitely suspicious.
If it were really six months, at least we could have a few words exchanged, but he didn't think it would even last six days.
Qi Tongwei remained calm and continued his tour.
The arrival of Ding Luoshan, An Xin, and Cao Chuang completely blocked Mary's chance to get close.
Half an hour later, two burly men in black suits and two police officers, led by the police chief who was escorting the inspection team, entered the exhibition hall and walked towards Mary.
“Miss Mary, we need your assistance in investigating some matters. Please come with me.”
Mary was stunned.
Before Mary could react, the two officers grabbed her and pulled her away.
One of the men in a suit explained Mary's identity to Qi Tongwei.
Unexpectedly, Mary was indeed a prostitute. However, what surprised him was that the brothel she worked for and the museum were owned by the same person.
However, Carl, the boss behind the scenes, said he was unaware of such personnel changes.
There are mysteries here, but overall it doesn't seem like a big problem. It's more like a story about a prostitute with ulterior motives trying to get close to a big shot in order to rise to the top.
"Mr. Mayor, we will conduct a further investigation into her intentions in approaching you and will give you a reply as soon as possible."
Qi Tongwei shook hands with the other party and expressed his gratitude.
This sudden turn of events drew the attention of everyone in the inspection team.
Many people looked at Tian Fengyi, wondering what the story was behind it.
Tian Fengyi was also covered in sweat; who could have imagined such a turn of events?
In his mind, even if Mary failed, his identity wouldn't be exposed. Now it seems things have gotten much worse.
As soon as the people from Ud left, Qi Tongwei waved to everyone and said casually, "Alright, everyone, continue your tour."
He won't make rash statements until the investigation is complete.
