Chapter 64: Major Discovery!
Li Weiyi and Bai Weiwei were chatting on his newly bought "Power Monster" armored off-road vehicle.
"Weiwei, my parents know about us. They want to meet you when they are free." Bai Weiwei said to Li Weiwei with a smile.
"Uh... meeting the parents so soon!" Li Weiyi was a little surprised.
"What? Don't you want to?" Bai Weiwei pouted.
"Of course I thought about it! It's just that it feels a little too fast." Li Weiyi saw Bai Weiwei raised her mouth and looked a little angry, so he said hurriedly.
"Hmph! Isn't he my elder brother? You're in such a hurry to marry me off." At the end, Bai Weiwei's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"What big brother? Oh! Did big brother say that?" Li Weiyi heard the first part but didn't hear the second part clearly.
"Of course! Who else could it be except him?" Bai Weiwei puffed up her cheeks with some dissatisfaction.
"Hehehe!" Li Weiyi looked at Bai Weiwei's angry expression and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Weiwei said shyly.
"You are also beautiful when you are angry!" Li Weiyi said with a smile.
"Really?" Bai Weiwei glanced at Li Weiyi suspiciously.
"Of course it's true! Whether my Weiwei is angry or happy, she is always the most beautiful in my eyes, Li Weiyi!" Li Weiyi assured seriously.
"Hmph! You're lucky you can talk!" Bai Weiwei rolled her eyes, but she felt sweet in her heart.
"By the way! Tell me, what does Mu Tiancheng know?" Bai Weiwei turned her head towards the entrance of Tiandu Restaurant and asked.
"I don't know. At the beginning, Director Di had just found some clues pointing to Mu Tiancheng. I don't know what this guy knows?" Li Weiyi shook his head, but his eyes were always paying attention to the surroundings of Tiandu Restaurant.
At this moment, Mu Tiancheng suddenly appeared in the eyes of Li Weiwei and Bai Weiwei.
"Huh? Look! Mu Tiancheng is coming out!" Bai Weiwei reminded Li Weiyi, but her eyes never left Mu Tiancheng.
"Yes! I saw it! Let's see how he is going to move first, and then take action!" Li Weiyi said.
"Yeah!" Bai Weiwei nodded.
It was seen that Mu Tiancheng came out of Tiandu Restaurant, but did not leave in a car. Instead, he turned right and walked along the sidewalk.
"Weiwei! You stay in the car and be careful. If anything happens, contact us. I'll follow Mu Tiancheng and see where he is going." Li Weiyi instructed.
"Well! You should be careful too!" Bai Weiwei nodded.
"Yeah!" Li Wei nodded slightly, got out of the car, and followed Mu Tiancheng from a distance.
After turning two corners, Mu Tiancheng walked into an inconspicuous store. Li Weiyi waited outside for a few minutes, but did not see Mu Tiancheng come out, so he also walked into the store.
As soon as he entered the store, what appeared before Li Weiyi's eyes were rows of shelves filled with all kinds of snacks and daily necessities.
While Li Weiyi was looking for Mu Tiancheng's trace, he casually picked up a bag of French fries from the shelf and looked at it.
"Huh?! March 6, 2009?" Li Weiyi glanced at the production date on the bag of French fries and saw that it said it was 2009, but now it is already 2012. It has obviously been expired for a long time, yet it is still being sold on the shelf. Are they thinking the business is too good?
Li Weiyi put down the French fries and picked up a bag of compressed biscuits beside him. The production date on it was August 15, 1997! It was even older than the bag of French fries!
Then, Li Weiyi looked at the production dates of other products on other shelves, and all of them were expired!
Even among these snacks, Li Weiyi found a bag of melon seeds produced by Xinshi in 1990! Li Weiyi could smell the strong musty smell through the packaging.
Moreover, the most recent bag of food is from the year 2010. Even if the shelf life is six months, it has been overdue for more than a year.
"What's wrong with this store? Why are all the goods expired? How can they be sold?" Li Weiyi put down the goods in his hand in confusion.
At this moment, a young man suddenly appeared in front of Li Weiyi.
"What are you doing?" The young man looked very alert.
"Um... don't you own a store? Of course I'm here to buy something!" Li Weiyi's brain raced and he blurted out the words.
"Are you here to buy something?" The young man stared at Li Weiyi, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Of course! Why would I come into your store if I'm not going to buy anything?" Li Weiyi said unhappily. At the same time, his peripheral vision was still looking for Mu Tiancheng's figure.
"Where did this guy go? Did he go out from another exit?" Li Weiyi muttered to himself, and then said, "Boss ! Why are all the things in your store expired? How can I buy anything from them?"
"This is how I sell things in my store! It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not! If not, get out of here! I don't have time to deal with you!" said the young man, frowning.
"Um... OK! The store is yours! You're awesome!" After saying that, Li Weiyi pretended to be speechless, gave the young man a contemptuous look, and walked out of the store.
"Hmph!" The young man snorted coldly at Li Weiyi's back and turned to walk inside.
Li Weiyi, who had just walked out of the store, turned around and quickly hid behind the outer wall at the store entrance.
“There must be something wrong with this store!”
Li Weiyi was outside the door, listening to the young man's footsteps gradually walking into the store, and then he quietly entered the store again. Seeing the young man's figure suddenly disappear in the corner, Li Weiyi quietly followed him again.
Li Weiyi quietly walked around the shelves and found a door in the corner.
So Li Weiyi walked over gently.
Arriving at the door, Li Weiyi listened carefully to the noise, then slowly stuck his head out to look inside.
However, there was no house behind the door, but a series of stairs leading to the underground.
"It actually leads to the underground. There must be some secret that cannot be told to anyone!"
After observing for a moment, Li Weiyi walked down the stairs gently.
This staircase spirals down, with a thick round stone pillar in the middle. The staircase spirals down along the stone pillar, so people at the bottom cannot see anyone coming down from above. They can only discover them if they meet face to face.
After walking down the stairs for more than ten meters, Li Weiyi finally reached the bottom.
After going down the stairs, three short corridors appeared in front of Li Weiyi.
"Hmm? Three? Which one should I try first?"
Li Weiyi was thinking about it when he heard footsteps coming from the middle corridor.
Li Weiyi didn't have time to think, and immediately hid in the corridor on the left.
Soon, footsteps came out from the middle corridor and went up the stairs.
Li Weiyi's body was pressed tightly against the wall of the corridor, fearing that he would be discovered.
However, the figure walking up the stairs did not even look at the corridor where Li Weiyi was, but went straight up the stairs.
"Is this... the person from just now?" Li Weiyi looked at the figure walking up the stairs and felt familiar with him, and he quickly thought of something.
"Mu Tiancheng must be in here , discussing some unspeakable secrets with someone!" Thinking of this, Li Weiyi quietly followed him.
Li Weiyi quietly followed the young man down the stairs, and soon, the two were not far away from each other.
However, the young man did not notice Li Weiyi behind him. Perhaps he thought that no one could enter this underground secret room?
The young man walked onto the ground and came into the store. He walked to the door of the store and locked it from the inside. Then he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the underground secret room.
The young man had just walked into the door and was about to go down the stairs when Li Weiyi suddenly flashed out from the side, quickly grabbed the young man's neck with one hand, covered the young man's mouth with the other hand, and dragged the young man behind the store shelf.
"Behave yourself! Otherwise, I won't be polite to you!"
Li Weiyi slightly exerted force on the hand that was pinching the young man's neck, and the young man nodded hastily with some fear.
"I'm going to ask a question, and you just need to nod or shake your head! Got it?!" Li Weiyi said in a low voice.
The young man immediately nodded in response. Looking at the young man's expression, Li Weiyi nodded with satisfaction.
"Did someone come in just now? Did he go to the secret room in the middle?" Li Weiyi asked.
There was shock in the young man's eyes, but after Li Weiyi increased his strength, the young man immediately nodded.
"Is that man Mu Tiancheng from Tiandu Restaurant? What is he doing in there?" Li Weiyi asked again in a low voice.
This time, the young man was quick and nodded happily immediately.
However, when Li Weiyi saw that the young man did not answer the question he asked, he could not help but increase the strength in his hands.
"Tell me! What is he doing in there?!"
The young man neither nodded nor shook his head. He just stared with his eyes wide open in pain, and kept saying “Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!…” but he couldn't utter a word.
"Um... I forgot, your mouth is still blocked!" Li Weiyi smiled a little embarrassedly, and loosened his hand that was pinching the young man's neck.
But after hearing what Li Weiyi said, the young man was so angry that he almost fainted. He looked at Li Weiyi with innocent eyes.
His chest rose and fell violently, and because Li Weiyi's hand was still covering his mouth, the young man could only breathe out through his nostrils. Therefore, his nostrils were stretched very wide, and it took a while for them to calm down again.
"I can let you go, but you must promise not to shout or scream and let the people below hear you! However, if you really dare to shout or scream, I am sure that I can kill you the moment you make a sound! You have to think it over carefully! If you don't shout or scream, just nod! Otherwise, I will kill you right now!" Li Weiyi threatened with a ferocious look in his eyes.
When the young man saw Li Weiyi's ferocious eyes, he immediately nodded quickly.
"Good! Your choice is wise!" Li Weiyi chuckled and praised.
Then, Li Weiyi slowly let go of the young man.
The young man felt his body relax, and he took a breath against the shelf behind him. Then he raised his head, looked at Li Weiyi, and said, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"It's very simple! What do you know? About you or your group, and your relationship with Mu Tiancheng of Tiandu Restaurant, and what exactly do you do? It's so mysterious that you even have an underground secret room?" Li Weiyi asked the question in his mind.
