Chapter 173: Secret Meeting
Su Ping accelerated into the misty mist, but he couldn't find any trace of Ding Kai at all, and the white mist all around him looked the same.
Losing Ding Kai made Su Ping's heart extremely remorseful, and he knew that he should have followed more closely. Su Ping let himself calm down first, then slowed down the ship, carefully discerning the surrounding situation as he slowly moved forward.
Su Ping went back and forth three times in the place where Ding Kai disappeared, and finally found that there was a rather hidden waterway on the shore, and if you didn't get close to the shore, it would be difficult to find that there was still a fork in the road.
"So I ran away from here!" Su Ping was overjoyed, and immediately added a boat and turned into this waterway.
Driving along a small ditch, surrounded by dense forests and covered with fallen leaves. Due to the fact that Ding Kai's boat had passed by, the fallen leaves on the river surface were not evenly distributed.
The dinghy walked along the river ditch for almost ten minutes, and a dark cave suddenly appeared in front of it, Su Ping did not dare to rush in, and hurriedly stopped the dinghy at the entrance of the cave.
Su Ping observed the surrounding environment and made sure that it was safe, then turned on the searchlight on the bow of the boat and carefully sailed the boat towards the hole.
Luckily, the cave is not very long, and it took a few minutes to pass through, but it is worth noting that the cave is not a straight line, but a big turn.
Out of the cave, the heavens and the earth lit up again, and Su Ping realized that he had arrived at another lake. He quickly opened the map and looked at it, only to realize that he had actually reached the back of the big waterfall, it turned out that this was also a lake, but the area was much smaller than the big lake in front.
Su Ping took out the binoculars on his waist and looked around, and finally found Ding Kai's trace in the northwest direction of the lake, just on the shore there was a fishing platform made of wood, and Ding Kai was sitting on a chair alone.
This lake is not too big, and if you get close to it by adding a boat, it will be easily discovered by Ding Kai.
If it is near the hotel, it doesn't hurt even if it is seen by Ding Kai, but it is very secret, if it is seen by Ding Kai, there is no doubt that he is tracked, and his identity will be exposed immediately.
Su Ping had no choice but to dock the dinghy on the shore, and then looked on the dinghy to see if there were any diving tools. I have to say that the high-end hotel is thoughtful, and the cabin of the dinghy is really prepared with simple diving tools and life-saving tools, and Su Ping quickly took out the diving tools.
Putting on his diving equipment, Su Ping plunged into the water and swam to the fishing platform where Ding Kai was located along the shore where the aquatic plants were more abundant.
Su Ping stopped at a distance of twenty or thirty meters from the platform, the water of the lake here is relatively clear, and it is likely that he will be found if he swims any further.
Su Ping hid on a shore with dense weeds, and looked at Ding Kai with a telescope through the gap in the grass.
At this time, Ding Kai was sitting on the recliner, looking uneasy, looking at the shore from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
After about ten minutes, a burst of talking came, and I saw Ding Kai standing up at once, standing straight facing the shore, and his attitude was very respectful.
Su Ping said secretly: "Who did Ding Kai come to this place to see?" ”
After a while, I saw three people walking to the fishing platform, led by a bald and white-bearded old man, and two sturdy people followed closely behind the old man, probably bodyguards and others.
Ding Kai saluted the old man respectfully, and the old man was not polite, and bowed his head slightly to return the salute. The two sat down separately, and then began to talk, Su Ping was a little far away, and he could only faintly hear some words, but they were not very real.
Ding Kai and the old man first said some polite words, and then turned to the topic, and listened to Ding Kai say: "Old man, have you thought about my proposal clearly?" ”
The old man's voice was not high, but it was still clear, and he only heard him say: "We are very interested in Lord Ding's proposal, just by doing this, will people catch the handle and say that we are nosy?" ”
"This old gentleman doesn't have to worry, as long as Lord He from the imperial capital takes care of us for us, who will take care of this?" Ding Kai said with a smile on his face.
"So Lord Ding has a good relationship with Lord He in the imperial capital?"
"It's reasonable, I was able to be reinstated thanks to Lord He's help, so the old gentleman doesn't have to worry about someone in the imperial capital at all."
"In that case, then the old decay is relieved."
"Everyone is working for the empire, taking care of each other, helping each other......" Ding Kai's voice gradually became smaller, and Su Ping really couldn't hear what he was saying.
However, looking at Ding Kai and the old man's happy appearance, the two should have had a good conversation, and it seems that some kind of agreement has been reached.
Su Ping regretted it for a while, and said in his heart: "I should have prepared a set of eavesdropping equipment if I knew it, otherwise I wouldn't have today's regrets." ”
Su Ping didn't hear the conversation between the two of them too clearly, but vaguely heard some United Mining, shares, 30 percent...... Words like that, as if discussing business.
The conversation between the two lasted for about twenty minutes, and then the voice slowly became louder again, and the old man said: "When the matter is done, I will definitely take time to attend, and we will be partners in the future." ”
Ding Kai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Rest assured, after the establishment of the company, it will definitely bring stable profits, and it will definitely not disappoint you." ”
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!" The old man said with a smile: "As soon as the agreement is signed, I will immediately inform the other side, and when Lord Ding needs it, he will act there." ”
"Then thank you, old man!" Ding Kai said excitedly.
"Where, everyone is a colleague, and it is natural for each other to help each other, so Lord Ding can rest assured."
The two of them spoke, slowly standing up, as if they were about to end the conversation. Su Ping didn't dare to stay any longer, if Ding Kai found his boat when he went back, I was afraid that things would be exposed.
Su Ping hurriedly took a few photos of the two of them with the telescope's photo function, then stuffed the telescope into his waist pocket, turned around and dived back into the water, and swam back towards his dinghy.
Returning to the hotel along the way he came, Su Ping closed the door and leaned against the wall gasping for air, his tightly knit brows revealing how nervous he was.
"I hope I haven't been ...... by Ding Kai," Su Ping said secretly in his heart.
On the way back, Su Ping tried to speed up as much as possible, so as not to be seen by Ding Kai, but whether he was found or not, Su Ping was not sure.
After the nervous mood calmed down a little, Su Ping sorted out his memories this time, and then recorded them one by one.
After doing this, Su Ping began to contact Liu Yi, and soon Liu Yi was online, and when he saw Su Ping, he asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”
Su Ping hurriedly replied: "Today Ding Kai went out and had a secret meeting with an old man. ”
When Liu Yi heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and asked impatiently, "Where did we meet?" Who was he meeting with? ”
Su Ping told Liu Yi everything he had seen and heard before, and Liu Yi listened attentively, barely interjecting, and only after Su Ping finished speaking, did he start asking questions.
"Were there any other people there when they met?" Liu Yi asked.
"In addition to the two of them, there are two people who appear to be bodyguards." When Su Ping said this, he suddenly remembered that he had taken a photo, and quickly said, "That's right!" I took a picture and sent it to the chief right away. ”
A moment later, Su Ping sent the photo he had taken with the telescope to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi opened the photo and recognized Ding Kai at a glance, and the old man who was sitting and talking with Ding Kai was the first time he saw it.
Liu Yi was puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "Who is this old man, who is worthy of Ding Kai to go all the way to Deer King to meet him?" Could it be that this person is Ding Kai's backer, or someone who has an important relationship with him? Also, what exactly are they talking about? ”
A series of questions popped up, making Liu Yi fall into deeper doubts.
However, relying only on the current intelligence, it is really impossible to analyze any results, Liu Yi can only let Su Ping continue to keep an eye on Ding Kai, and report the new situation immediately.
After ending the call, Liu Yi immediately went to Lu Gang, showed Lu Gang the old man in the photo, and asked Lu Gang if he knew this person.
In order not to expose the specific situation, Liu Yi deliberately cropped the photo, leaving only the old man, and erasing Ding Kai.
Lu Gang only said that he didn't know him, and he had never seen this person, and asked Liu Yi why he wanted to inquire about this old man.
Liu Yi casually made an excuse and prevaricated, and then found a few people in the committee and asked them to see if they had seen this person.
Since Su Ping's report mentions "United Mining", but there is no such company in Yaqiu, Liu Yi suspects that Ding Kai and the old man probably want to set up a company in Yaqiu, and that Yaqiu's local mining company may also be involved.
Therefore, Liu Yi went to the people in the mining company and asked them if they knew the old man.
It's a pity that Liu Yi asked a lot of people, and everyone said that they had never seen this person, and it seemed that this old man should have never been to Yaqiu.
But Liu Yi did not give up, he found Lu Gang again, borrowed the right to use the military's artificial intelligence system from Lu Gang, and handed it over to the artificial intelligence system to find this person.
Despite the fact that artificial intelligence and computers are now very powerful, and the military's database is very complete, it is still not easy to find such a person who only has photos and no other information.
This process takes a long time to complete, and Liu Yi can only hand over the task to the artificial intelligence and go to other things first.
About a week later, Lu Gang told Liu Yi that the query task he had set up had a result, and asked Liu Yi to hurry over.
Liu Yi hurriedly went to Lu Gang, Lu Gang had already displayed the query results on the screen, and Liu Yi suddenly felt even more puzzled when he saw it.
