Every adult man, as long as he has no physical defects, will have an expectation in his daily life, looking forward to a romantic encounter. We cannot say that a man is unfaithful, nor can we say that he is lustful. Even we cannot condemn him morally. Because this is merely an expectation, a subconscious psychological activity, the vast majority of men can still keep themselves clean and will not take the initiative to act. I'm also such a man, a man who longs for a romantic encounter. I had a romantic encounter, one that changed the course of my life.
My name is Lin Feng. I'm twenty-four years old and I'm a business supervisor at Sant Company.
The meaning of "Three T" is three substitutes. The company's mission is to find people for you, collect evidence for you, and solve your problems. The full name of the company is Three T Information Consulting Co., LTD. To put it simply, it is a private detective agency. It is only because relevant national laws prohibit private intervention in the interrogation industry that they have no choice but to use information consultation as a cover.
The company's main business consists of two aspects: one is to search for people, and the other is to collect evidence.
There are always some people in the world who owe money to others but do not want to repay it. To evade debts, they often play the "disappearance game". Our company, SanT, is always ready to help them out. Through various channels, we find these missing people and tell their addresses to their creditors, charging them a certain amount of hardship fees.
Compared with finding people, collecting evidence is the main business of our company. The content is nothing more than collecting video materials of extramarital affairs to provide evidence for the broken marriage, so as to strive for more property benefits for our parties when getting divorced.
None of these are glorious things; in fact, they are somewhat immoral. As a result, people in the company all have psychological shadows and act in a very low-key manner. Generally, they are reluctant to show up in public. When going out, they often choose to wear wide-brimmed hats and black sunglasses, dressed up as spies.
One afternoon at six o 'clock, when everyone in the company had already left work and I was about to leave, a mysterious female customer came and offered us 100,000 yuan, asking us to find evidence that her husband was keeping a woman outside.
This is a typical case. Our company receives three or two similar cases every month. So I didn't pay much attention to it and just treated her as an ordinary customer. However, when we talked about commissions and the handling methods after obtaining evidence, two special requirements from the employer caught my attention.
First of all, she had no money. She just took out a lustrous jade bracelet, claiming that it was worth over 100,000 yuan and would use it as our remuneration for work.
This is a light yellow bracelet. When held in hand, it gives a warm feeling. This bracelet is very strange. It is not perfectly round but slightly flattened and oval-shaped, and can stand easily on the table.
I have no knowledge of jade at all. I held this bracelet and looked at it over and over again for a long time, but I still couldn't believe that this small bracelet could be worth 100,000 yuan.
However, I still accepted the jade bracelet. For one thing, because the employer was crying very sadly, I felt pity. Secondly, I have a friend who is knowledgeable about jade collection. I plan to have it appraised by him. If this jade bracelet is genuine, not to mention its value of 100,000 yuan, even 5,000 yuan would be enough to cover the company's commission. If the jade bracelet is fake, I can return it.
Now let's get to the point. The employer told me about the person to be investigated and the way to handle it after obtaining the evidence.
I was startled when the employer mentioned that man's name. I know this person. Not only me, but the vast majority of people in this city know this man. Because this person is a public figure and an important leader of the city, he often appears on TV.
This leader is in his forties and is at the peak of his career, enjoying an excellent reputation among the masses. I really can't believe that such a refined gentleman, a leader who earnestly exhorts the public to abide by the law on TV, would keep a woman outside. Another very important situation is that I also know the wife of this leader.
His wife is also a public figure and a beautiful female host of the local TV station. When these two got married, it caused a sensation. People have been talking about their marriage with great enthusiasm, saying that it was a perfect match of talent and beauty.
Now the problem arises: This woman is not the wife of that leader at all. If what the female employer said is true, doesn't that mean this leader has raised more than one woman?
According to the regulations of our company, no cases involving the privacy of those in power will be accepted. This is also a common practice in our industry. The reason is simple: we are ordinary people and can't afford to provoke these big shots.
At this point, I can completely refuse the employer's request. But for some reason, I actually put the company's regulations behind me at that time and resolutely agreed to take on this case. Now when I think back, that afternoon my mind was in a strange, non-waking state, rather confused.
I never expected that it was this hasty decision that would change the course of my life. If I knew what would happen in the future, I would never accept it.
The female employer gave me two addresses. One was the so-called place of residence, and the other was the mailing address for the evidence after obtaining it.
This mailing address is quite special. It's not her home but the discipline Inspection Commission of this city. Women are like this: once they can't get what they want, they will try every possible way to completely destroy the other person. It can be imagined that if I really had to send the evidence of this leader to the Discipline Inspection Committee, what a huge stir it would have caused.
What the old man said was right. It's better to offend a villain than a woman. If you offend a woman, you won't even know how you died.
After seeing off my female employer, I stayed in the company for more than half an hour. After that, my mind became clear.
When I came to my senses, I was filled with remorse for my hasty decision. That's a big leader, someone our company absolutely can't afford to mess with. Whether we can obtain his evidence or not, and whether he will be brought down because of our evidence, once he finds out that we once pry into his privacy, we will be in for nothing.
My first reaction was to bring the employer back and tell her that I wasn't doing it anymore. But it's only now that I realize I haven't left any information about this employer. I have no idea what her name is, nor do I have her contact details. I simply can't inform her. Moreover, I can't even remember the physical features of the female employer clearly.
This was a major mistake. For a seasoned detective like me, it was impossible to happen.
However, it did happen after all, and I must think of a strategy to deal with it.
First of all, I plan to hide this matter from the company. After all, this is a task that shouldn't be taken on. It won't be easy to let the boss know.
Secondly, I decided not to carry out this task. I have plenty of time to wait. As long as she comes to me, I'll return the bracelet to her and ask her to find someone else.
That night I slept very soundly and didn't wake up until nearly eleven o 'clock the next day. I'm a person who likes to get up early. It has never happened that I slept until noon.
The reason for this is that I had nightmares all night. I can't remember the content of the dream clearly. Anyway, it was very terrifying. Some bloody scenes kept popping up, which woke me up several times.
So when my image appeared on Chen Fei's computer screen, my appearance gave him a fright.
