《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 26 Insight

Was Xue Bing the mastermind behind it all?
Thinking of Xue Bing’s sinister smile, Lin Qingwan shook her head and said to Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, I know Xue Bing. He is a timid person. I don’t think he would dare hire a shooter to kill me."
Ye Fei nodded, "It’s just a guess; there's no real evidence."
Lin Qingwan didn't speak the rest of the way.
When they were back at Purple Apartments, Murong was already up and about. She was eating potato chips on the couch and watching her favorite TV show with a happy smile.
Once she noticed that Lin Qingwan was back, Murong held up her potato chips, "Sister Qingwan, want some?"
Lin Qingwan shook her head and said to Ye Fei, "Murong is here, so I’ll be safe. I want to invite her and the other girls to dinner this evening and apologize for what happened yesterday. What are you going to do? Chu Mo and Liu Manman seem to have it in for you, so I don’t think you should go with us."
Ye Fei yawned. He didn't even want to go to something so boring.
Even if he was Lin Qingwan's personal bodyguard, he could not stay with her 24/7. He had other things to do. He wanted to find out more about the pinhole cameras, for one.
Compared to waiting passively, Ye Fei preferred to take the initiative.
"Manager Lin, I want to go to your villa now and see what I can discover about the pinhole cameras. This can't be delayed any further," Ye Fei said seriously.
Lin Qingwan gently bit her pink lips and worriedly said, “Yes. You have to get that footage, or I will be disgraced."
Murong threw the bowl of potato chips on the table, wiped her mouth, and trotted over. "Sister Qingwan, what pinhole cameras? Sounds interesting."

"Sister Murong, this has nothing to do with you. Let Ye Fei deal with it." Lin Qingwan didn't want to tell her about the whole embarrassing ordeal.
"Fine..." Murong grumbled.
"Manager Lin, I’ll go ahead, then." Ye Fei grabbed the car keys, "I’ll take your car. The car has been targeted, so it is dangerous for you to drive alone."
"OK." Lin Qingwan pushed Ye Fei out the door and shut it behind him. Finally, for the first time in a while she felt the whole world was quiet for a moment.
Although Ye Fei had shown extraordinary insight before, Lin Qingwan still thought he’d have a hard time finding out who installed the pinhole cameras.
She was in a really bad mood.
Ye Fei went downstairs and got into the car. Before he could even start the engine, someone opened the door and jumped into the passenger seat. It was Murong.
Ye Fei looked at her with surprise. “Officer Murong, what are you doing?"
Murong smiled, "Hey, I heard you earlier. Pinhole cameras? My keen intuition tells me there must be some unspeakable secret to uncover here."
Ye Fei said, "You can come, but I have one question. If you come with me, who will protect Qingwan? Isn't she going to invite you out to dinner tonight?"
"Yes, I certainly want to go have dinner with her, but I really want to know more about this pinhole camera stuff. I gave her an excuse about having something important to do at the police station. I also called two colleagues and asked them to protect Qingwan for me. Don't worry, they are some of the best in the precinct; very experienced. Sister Qingwan will be safe."
Murong chuckled. She was obviously very satisfied with herself.

"Well, we're going to Lin Qingwan's villa. I'll tell you about it on the way." Ye Fei started the car and drove towards the villa.

"Even in the bedroom and the bathroom?" Murong's face was red as she exclaimed in amazement. "Does that mean someone has photos of sister Qingwan changing clothes?"
"I don’t know how much has been photographed, but according to my observation, those cameras haven’t been there for very long," Ye Fei said gently.
"Who could be this brazen? If I catch him, I’ll teach him a lesson he won’t forget!" Murong growled.
Ye Fei parked in front of Lin Qingwan’s villa and went over to knock on the door.
It was late in the afternoon, but not time to get off work quite yet. The servants in the villa were still going about their duties.
Murong often came to Lin Qingwan's villa, so she was very familiar with them. The servants were forty or fifty-year-old men and women and they were happy to see her.
“Officer Murong, come and have a drink of water."
"Oh, I just came here to grab something for Sister Qingwan; I will leave in a moment." Murong excused herself and followed Ye Fei to the second floor.
Ye Fei pointed. "See there? Those are cameras."
"Gosh, how did you find these?"
Murong carefully looked at one of the cameras for a moment, "Such a tiny thing must have been installed by a professional. How did you find it? It's unbelievable!"
Ye Fei's expression was calm as he slowly explained, "I often encountered things like these on my missions. I was trained to find surveillance equipment like this in the shortest possible time to prevent the enemy from spying on us, it’s become habitual now every time I walk into a room."
"Really?" Murong said, "I’m a police officer and I know a few things about the army, so you can’t fool me. We’re trained to look for pinhole cameras too, but we need experts to come over and get things done. Are you saying you think the experts are useless?"
Ye Fei smiled and did not elaborate. Indeed, not everyone could have found those cameras so easily. He was also impressed, perhaps she was smarter than she let on.

Is It Too Late To Move My Lair?
A legendary dragon... It has been told in the stories for hundreds of years. Some say it keeps a mountain of treasure in its cave, some say it is a vicious beast, some say it protects the village nearby, some claim it can grant their wishes, and some just think it's nothing more than a fairytale. He is not. The dragon is very real, although he isn't bothered by what people think of him in the slightest. He also doesn't have a grand treasure, nor does he grant wishes, like a magical genie. He is not interested in eating humans either. And as for protecting them… well. This is the story of the time before the legends, how they came to life and a dragon in the quest of his snooze.

Hope you enjoy reading, as much as I do while writing it… THE STORY IS NOT DROPPED, JUST SLOW ON THE UPDATES. Cover art by Nane, aka me. (Cross-posted on Scribble Hub.)
