Wang Dahai circled the villa, noting the building number before leaving the complex.
He found a nearby agency and asked, "Are there any vacant villas for rent in the next villa area?"
"There are."
The girl who received him was in her twenties, quite young. Her ladies' suit didn't fit well, but she was very pretty.
"Could you take me to see them?"
"Of course, please wait a moment."
The agency girl picked up her electric scooter key and went out with him, saying, "What should I call you, big brother?"
"I go by Wang."
"Wang, you can ride on my electric scooter; I'll take you there."
"Alright."
Wang Dahai sat on the small electric scooter, and the girl led him to the villa, where they registered at the security booth before going in.
On the way, the girl introduced herself, "Big brother Wang, my name is Wu Yun, you can just call me Wu."
"Mhm."
The electric scooter soon stopped outside a vacant villa.
Wu Yun got off the scooter and said, "Big brother Wang, this villa is currently available for rent."
Wang Dahai followed her inside and after looking around, he asked, "Are there any other villas?"
"There are." Wu Yun asked, "What kind are you looking to rent, and for how long?"
"A short-term lease, probably just for a month or two."
"For a short-term lease," Wu Yun said, "it might be a bit inconvenient. The owners of these villas aren't really lacking money; they probably won't rent for less than a year."
"Then let's rent for a year."
Wang Dahai's main goal was to surveil Qin Fuhai; a month would definitely be enough.
But he hadn't considered that villas were not like ordinary houses.
Each villa here was worth at least ten million.
Could someone who leaves a ten-million-worth villa vacant possibly be short of money?
As Wu Yun rode past the villa opposite from Qin Fuhai's, Wang Dahai noted, "That one looks quite nice."
Wu Yun glanced at it, rode over, and stopped at the gate.
She stood at the doorway, stood on tiptoes to look inside, and said, "I don't have the contact for this one; big brother Wang, do you want to rent this one? If you're sure, I can try to help you get in touch."
"Yeah, let's go for this one. The location is good."
"Okay, I'll help you contact them, but I can't guarantee the owner will agree to rent it out."
"No problem, just ask for me."
"Alright, big brother Wang, leave your phone number, and I'll call you once I've made contact."
They exchanged mobile numbers and added each other as WeChat friends.
Afterward, they returned to the agency.
Wang Dahai didn't go far, staying nearby.
Around noon, he received a call from Wu Yun.
"Big brother Wang, I've spoken to the owner, and they say it's a one-year minimum lease."
"No problem, let's draw up the contract."
"Just wait a moment, I'll prepare the contract; big brother Wang, if you're available, please come over."
"I'm on my way." Wang Dahai asked, "By the way, how much is the rent per month?"
"Twelve thousand."
"Okay, I got it, prepare the contract."
After hanging up, Wang Dahai couldn't help but whistle silently to himself.
Twelve thousand, damn that's expensive!
Fortunately, the five hundred thousand Wu Qiangwei gave him was still mostly there.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the agency.
The girl had already printed out the contract.
Wang Dahai quickly scanned it, confirmed it was fine, signed his name, and then made a transfer.
"The money's been received," the girl said. "Big brother Wang, I need to take this contract to the owner for their signature. If you need to go do something, go ahead. Once I've gotten the signature, you can just stop by here and pick it up directly next time you're passing by."
"Let's go together," Wang Dahai said. "I might as well get the keys too."
"Oh right, I forgot about the keys."
Wu Yun stuck out her tongue playfully.
She grabbed the keys to her electric scooter, but Wang Dahai said, "Let's take my car."
"Oh, okay."
Exiting the store, she saw Wang Dahai walking towards a motorcycle.
"Get on," Wang Dahai patted the pillion.
Wu Yun walked over, straddled it and sat down, somewhat stiffly clutching the corner of Wang Dahai's jacket.
"Where does the homeowner live?"
Wu Yun reported a location, which Wang Dahai happened to know. It was a high-end neighborhood not far from there.
Twenty minutes later, the motorcycle entered the neighborhood, and Wang Dahai waited downstairs as Wu Yun went up by herself.
About ten minutes later, Wu Yun came down and handed a bunch of keys to Wang Dahai, "Wang, these are the keys and access card to the villa."
"Wang, let me treat you to a meal."
"Hmm?" Why would you treat me to a meal for no reason?
Seeing his confusion, Wu Yun said, "I get a commission for renting out houses."
"Oh, well, thank you then."
"Don't mention it."
Wu Yun said, "There's a barbecue restaurant nearby, do you like barbecue, Wang?"
"I do."
The two went to the nearby barbecue restaurant and in no time, the barbecue was served.
Wu Yun took charge of grilling the meat, and soon they were both eating away greasily.
They had just met and didn't really chat much.
After eating, Wang Dahai dropped her back at the real estate agency and then entered the neighborhood himself.
Having the access card made things much easier; no need to register.
But it still wasn't convenient enough.
He went to the property management to rent a parking spot, so in the future, he wouldn't need to register when coming by motorcycle either.
Then, he went back to grab the camera he had purchased before and bought a telescope.
After placing all these items in the villa, everything was ready.
He went to the second floor and stood on the balcony, using the telescope to observe the villa opposite.
The view was simply perfect.
And Qin Fuhai's villa, the curtains weren't drawn.
Probably because the villa had always been vacant, he never worried about being seen, which now played into Wang Dahai's hand.
He stayed in the villa the entire day.
Around three in the afternoon, he saw two figures emerge.
One of them was familiar, clearly Qin Xiaotian.
The other was a woman, around thirty years old, wearing loose trousers and a long-sleeved, ladylike, pink knitted shirt.
The woman was graceful and seemed gentle.
Wang Dahai was a bit curious, what was this woman's relationship with Qin Xiaotian?
Could she be his sister?
He didn't think too much of it since his main goal was to surveil Qin Fuhai and his son.
He saw Qin Xiaotian get into a BMW car upon leaving and quickly drove away.
Around seven in the evening, Qin Fuhai arrived home.
Wang Dahai, hidden in the darkness, held his telescope.
Qin Fuhai got out of a Volkswagen sedan and went inside his home.
He sat in the living room on the first floor, and the woman brought him a cup of tea before leaving.
Qin Fuhai sat in the living room for over half an hour, then got up to go to the bathroom.
When he came out, he had changed into a set of pajamas.
Just as Wang Dahai was about to put down his telescope, he suddenly saw Qin Fuhai grab the woman's arm and pull her towards him.
The woman struggled, pushing and shoving, but, after all, a woman naturally has less strength than a man.
Even though Qin Fuhai was old and weak, he was still a man.
Watching the woman's fearful expression and her struggling movements, Wang Dahai's expression turned weird.
This woman, she was not Qin Fuhai's daughter?
Nor his wife.
Nor his mistress.
Then who was she?
And why was she living in Qin Fuhai's house?
