Tang Li returned to her room, replaced the batteries in the bug, and took the space card from her backpack, inserting it into the cellphone's card slot.
She sent a text message to the bar owner: "You up for a job?"
The reply came quickly: "[Grinning]."
"In a couple of days, I need you to run into someone for me. Don't need her dead or crippled, just unable to walk for a while."
[Jin Xinxin]: "Is that all?"
Tang Li gave him the Lai family's neighborhood address, along with a photo of the Lai family's grocery-shopping maid, and wrote down the time the maid would go out to shop in the text message.
The next day, after waking up, Tang Li went downstairs.
She rounded the staircase corner and saw what was happening in the living room.
Lai Wenyan was sitting on the sofa watching the morning news as usual. The only difference was that there was an additional Jiang Yining, wiping the coffee table next to him.
