Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 73 - 73 73 Evidence Collection

73: Chapter 73: Evidence Collection 73: Chapter 73: Evidence Collection Sun Dongming’s eyes bulged, and he angrily said, “One million?

Do you take me for a beggar?

Don’t think that having a recording is going to be of any use.

A recording can only serve as corroborative evidence now, and it absolutely cannot stand as real evidence.

Hmph, without direct evidence, it’s utterly useless.”

Li Sijie said furiously, “Sun Dongming, get the hell out of here.

We’ll see you in court!”

“See you in court then, as if I’m afraid of you all.”

Sun Dongming snickered coldly, turned around, and strode out.

Today’s incident had caught him off guard, so he needed to go back and think carefully about a way to respond.

After seeing Sun Dongming leave, Song Xiaodong immediately said to Li Sijie, “President Li, I’m going to leave too.” Then, without waiting for Li Sijie to reply, he followed out the door.

Li Sijie’s body slumped onto the sofa.

She felt completely powerless, as if she had collapsed.

Song Xiaodong went out to track Sun Dongming.

With his ability, Sun Dongming simply couldn’t detect him.

Plus, the guy was rushing in a fluster directly to that woman’s home, which saved Song Xiaodong a great deal of trouble.

“Song Xiaodong, what are you doing?”

Song Xiaodong was shopping in a security store when Miao Xuanxuan’s call came through.

“I’ve got something to do.”

“Hehe, take a look outside.”

Song Xiaodong turned his head and was surprised to see Miao Xuanxuan walking into the store.

“What a coincidence?” Song Xiaodong waited for Miao Xuanxuan to come in, looking at her with curiosity.

“Yeah, I was just passing by and saw you enter this shop, so I thought I’d check it out.

Hey, you’re buying a pinhole camera, what are you planning to do?” Miao Xuanxuan eyed the items on the counter and instantly looked at Song Xiaodong with suspicion.

Continuing to fiddle with the camera, Song Xiaodong said, “What else would I do with this thing?

Obviously, it’s for secret filming.”

Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes widened as she said, “I’m dizzy, no wonder my sister said you’re shameless.

You really are, being able to talk so openly about doing something like secret filming.”

By then, Song Xiaodong had paid for his items and picked up a bunch of stuff, smiling and saying, “Yes, we have to do our secret filming openly and honestly.”

Miao Xuanxuan followed Song Xiaodong out of the shop and said, “Don’t tell me you’re planning to install these in our guild’s female changing room and bathrooms?

Ah, if that’s the case, you’re dead for sure.”

Song Xiaodong gave Miao Xuanxuan a look and replied, “Am I crazy?

Doing something like that, I’d be beaten to death in return.”

“Then taking upskirt photos is even more out of the question.” Miao Xuanxuan subconsciously pressed down on her leg, then relaxed and said, “Luckily, I don’t really wear skirts.”

Song Xiaodong, amused by Miao Xuanxuan’s reaction, said, “I’m going to collect some evidence.”

“What evidence?” Miao Xuanxuan suddenly became interested.

Song Xiaodong told Miao Xuanxuan about Li Sijie and Sun Dongming’s situation, and after hearing it, Miao Xuanxuan was immediately filled with righteous indignation, saying, “That’s absolutely despicable.

I definitely support you in this, and I will help you with it.”

“Help me with it?” Song Xiaodong looked Miao Xuanxuan up and down and asked, “What can you do?”

“I…” Miao Xuanxuan was at a loss for words when Song Xiaodong asked, but then she puffed out her chest and said, “Can I help you come up with strategies?

Haven’t you heard ‘three cobblers make a Zhuge Liang’…

Hey, hey, don’t look at me like that.

At the very least, I can keep you company and chat, can’t I?

Otherwise, it would be so lonely to do this on your own…

Alright, alright, I just think it’s fun.

Take me with you, please…”

Facing Song Xiaodong’s gaze, Miao Xuanxuan felt as though all her little tricks had been seen through, and in the end, she resorted to acting coquettishly.

“Fine, but you have to listen to everything I say, and don’t make a mess later on.”

Miao Xuanxuan immediately became excited, her eyebrows dancing with delight, “Got it, hehe, I knew you were the best.”

They waited downstairs at that woman’s place until after five o’clock; Sun Dongming left first, and a few minutes later, that woman also left.

Moreover, when Sun Dongming came out, he looked incredibly sneaky, probably afraid of being found out by Li Sijie.

As soon as the two had left, Song Xiaodong led Miao Xuanxuan towards the building.

However, seeing Miao Xuanxuan’s sneaky appearance, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Can you act normal?

Otherwise, people will immediately know we’re up to no good.”

“How can I not look like a good person when I’m this pretty?

You’re the one who doesn’t look like a good person,” Miao Xuanxuan puffed out her chest, but soon resumed her prying look, just like a little thief stealing something.

Song Xiaodong was speechless but figured it wouldn’t affect anything, so he led her straight to the door of Sun Dongming and the woman’s residence.

“How are we going to get in?” Gazing at the formidable security door, Miao Xuanxuan grimaced.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “Don’t you know there’s something called technical lock-picking?

A door like this is practically the same as having no lock.”

“Really?

You can open it?” Miao Xuanxuan looked at Song Xiaodong skeptically.

Song Xiaodong chuckled, then went up to the door, took out a key from his pocket, wrapped it with a layer of tin foil, twisted it twice, and then turned the key, opening the door.

“Wow, that is way too easy, isn’t it?” Miao Xuanxuan’s jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.

Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, “Indeed, this kind of lock is too insecure.”

“Then we’ll have to change the lock on our door at home.

I’m getting chills down my spine; it’s like there’s no difference between having a lock and not having one.”

Then she widened her eyes again, looking at Song Xiaodong, “You’re not some kind of master thief, are you?”

“Your imagination sure runs wild.

I learned all this in the army,” Song Xiaodong said, handing Miao Xuanxuan a pair of shoe covers, and then he too put shoe covers on before entering.

The apartment wasn’t large, just a two-bedroom with a living room.

One bedroom was clearly inhabited, while the other was filled with assorted items.

Song Xiaodong immediately began installing a hidden camera in the living room, with Miao Xuanxuan curiously watching by his side.

It took less than ten minutes for Song Xiaodong to finish the installation in the living room, right above the television.

“I mean, if you install it here, wouldn’t it be easily found once someone comes home and watches TV?”

Song Xiaodong laughed and answered, “It’s safest here.

When you watch TV, aren’t you looking at the screen?

And cameras usually have a light indicator.

If it’s placed in a spot without other lights, it would be more likely to be noticed.”

Miao Xuanxuan tilted her head, thinking it over, then said, “That makes sense, yeah.”

The two then moved into the bedroom, where Song Xiaodong installed another camera above the headboard.

However, just as he finished the installation, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.
