Qi Yun nodded, watching them leave.
After the two walked away, he took out his phone and called Zhou Hongchang, inviting him and a few officers for lunch.
The location was chosen at a restaurant not far from the police department, one of the better ones in the county town.
Qi Yun arrived first with Liu Meng and Zhong Rui.
After arriving at the private room, he instructed Zhong Rui, "Go load a membership card with ten thousand yuan, then buy two cases of Yuxi cigarettes from the next-door liquor store."
"Okay, boss." Zhong Rui responded and quickly left the room to handle it.
Once he left, Qi Yun handed a cigarette to Liu Meng and said with a smile, "Brother Meng, you've seen those jewels; they're worth quite a bit. How about I give you fifty thousand yuan? Just a small token of my appreciation."
Liu Meng was taken aback, accepted the cigarette, and a hint of displeasure flickered across his face.
