I nodded, "What kind of person is Liu Mingyi?"
Mou Xiaoning said, "Liu Mingyi is the secretary of the Nanjian Government Office. He has another identity; he is the cousin of Liu Mingsheng."
I frowned, "Who is Liu Mingsheng?"
Mou Xiaoning replied, "Liu Mingsheng is a Constable at the Nanjian Government Office. He works for Ma Benzai."
I nodded, "So, this Liu Mingyi is also one of Ma Benzai's people?"
Mou Xiaoning nodded, "You could say that."
I nodded again, thought for a moment, and asked, "Has Liu Mingyi come out since he went in?"
Mou Xiaoning said, "No, he hasn't come out at all."
I nodded, "Alright, keep watching."
Mou Xiaoning nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Sir, we discovered something else."
I looked at Mou Xiaoning, "What is it?"
Mou Xiaoning said, "The carriage that took Liu Mingyi to the Plains Merchants belongs to Lin Mautsai from Xia Yin Bank."
I frowned, "Lin Mautsai? Who is he?"
Mou Xiaoning said, "Lin Mautsai is the owner of Xia Yin Bank. He studied abroad in Yingzhou in his early years and has a very good relationship with Ma Benzai. It is said that he is Ma Benzai's trusted aide."
I nodded and asked, "Who is Ma Benzai?"
Mou Xiaoning replied, "Ma Benzai is the governor of Nanjiang Prefecture."
I nodded again, "So, this Lin Mautsai is quite a formidable character, huh?"
Mou Xiaoning nodded, "You could say that."
I thought for a moment and said, "Is there any way we can capture this Lin Mautsai?"
Mou Xiaoning shook his head, "I'm afraid not. We don't have any evidence against him. If we just arrest him like that, it might provoke Ma Benzai's displeasure."
I nodded, "Yes, this Lin Mautsai is not Li Dangshi; he's not so easy to deal with."
Yuan Bufei looked at me and said, "Sir, if we want to take action against Lin Mautsai, we must have solid evidence. Otherwise, it could lead to trouble."
I thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense. We can't act rashly; we need to come up with a foolproof plan to deal with Lin Mautsai."
Both Mou Xiaoning and Yuan Bufei nodded in agreement.
I took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and suddenly had a bright idea.
The next morning, Mou Xiaoning and I arrived at Xia Yin Bank.
At the entrance, there were two guards, both armed with knives at their waists.
Mou Xiaoning stepped forward, announced our names, and stated that Ye Yifan from the Secret Intelligence Bureau wished to meet.
I could tell that these two guards were likely Lin Mautsai's subordinates and trusted aides.
After about ten minutes, a clerk came out from inside and said, "The owner invites you both in."
Mou Xiaoning and I followed the clerk into the business hall, passing through a corridor until we reached the reception room.
As soon as we entered, we saw Lin Mautsai sitting on a sofa, chatting amiably with a man.
The man appeared to be around Lin Mautsai's age, dressed in a cloak and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite refined.
When we walked in, Lin Mautsai merely glanced at us without standing up. He casually said, "Lord Ye has graced us with his presence; I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
I smiled and walked over to sit on the sofa opposite Lin Mautsai. "You are too kind, Mr. Lin. I hope you can forgive my intrusion."
Lin Mautsai glanced at me and said, "You are a busy man; I wonder what brings you here today?"
