After leaving the police station, Ling Yuan said he could finally take a break. Since his superior had said so, it was indeed time for him to relax. He planned to get a good night's sleep.
Then he saw Zhang Ya sitting at his doorstep.
"Brother, you finally made it!"
Before he could react, he was enveloped in a warm embrace, leaving Ling Yuan momentarily stunned.
"What’s going on?"
"What do you mean what’s going on? I saw the footage on TV; that was a real bomb! They were really after you!"
Zhang Ya had rushed over without even delivering his food order. Who wouldn’t be terrified of a bomb? Besides, Ling Yuan only knew one person in Haishi now, and his colleagues at the police station couldn’t compare to Zhang Ya.
A warm smile spread across Ling Yuan's face. "Thank you, I'm fine now."
He chuckled and shook the keys in his hand. "Let’s go inside and talk; what’s there to discuss out here?"
Having just moved in not long ago, Ling Yuan's apartment was sparsely furnished, but it was spacious and in a good location. Zhang Ya had initially planned to help him clean up, but it seemed that wouldn’t be necessary anymore.
Ling Yuan handed Zhang Ya a glass of water and sat beside him. "Why didn’t you go deliver food today?"
"I did, but then I heard about your incident and rushed over."
As he spoke, Zhang Ya kept glancing at Ling Yuan, seemingly checking if he was truly unharmed or if the police were hiding something.
"I really am fine," Ling Yuan assured him. "But you really shouldn’t come here often anymore."
Ling Yuan understood his situation well and didn’t want anyone he knew to get involved in danger.
"What’s this? Now that you’re successful, you don’t want to acknowledge your brother Zhang anymore?"
Ling Yuan showed a helpless expression. "Brother Zhang, you know what my situation is right now. Having too much contact with you would put you at risk. Don’t forget your sister-in-law is still at home."
"I won’t forget your sister-in-law; I won’t forget you either," Zhang Ya replied, his face showing some hesitation. "Although I can’t really help much, there’s something I wanted to tell you."
Hearing this, Ling Yuan looked alarmed. "Brother Zhang, you’re not thinking of going to a foot massage parlor or something like that and want me to cover for you, are you?"
"Where did that come from? I’m talking about the place where you used to live; someone has been coming by repeatedly asking questions. I don’t know what they’re looking for, but they recorded it."
Zhang Ya lived nearby and happened to see it happen.
Ling Yuan hadn’t expected anyone would still be interested in that rundown rental house he used to live in.
After Zhang Ya took out the video, confusion deepened on his face.
I don't recognize these people. Not only does he not know them, but he has no recollection at all. If you don't know them, then why did they search your house? Zhang Ya grew even more curious; surely there must be some big scoop involved. I should go to the police station and check the surveillance footage; perhaps they are also here to cause me trouble. For now, don’t tell anyone else about this.
I understand, I understand. So can we go out for a meal tonight? Lin Yuan raised his hand to check his watch. The other party probably wouldn’t come looking for trouble in the short term, and he had spotted a pretty good barbecue place that was just about to open.
Then I’ll treat you to a meal, Brother Zhang? You have to accept my invitation.
Qing She couldn’t remember the last time he had been to such a bright place. He looked up at the lights above; they must cost quite a bit, maybe around ten thousand yuan? Don’t say he’s unsophisticated; it’s just that he really is. Right now, Qing She was awkwardly wearing a colorful mask, afraid that others would see his face. In reality, it didn’t matter whether he wore a mask or not as long as people didn’t recognize him.
The butler was waiting inside.
Hello, young master has gone to handle some matters; please wait here for a moment. After leading him to the reception room, the butler left.
On the solid wood table were documents with a blue cover. Qing She couldn’t help himself and opened them up. The first page clearly outlined his family background along with his appearance and features. There were even photographs included.
He’s investigating me from behind. Qing She’s face darkened. They had agreed to keep things separate, yet now his background was almost being dug up; this was different from the terms they had discussed earlier.
About ten minutes later, light footsteps echoed from outside the door, followed by the sound of the butler opening it. A handsome face appeared before Qing She’s eyes, making him feel even more self-conscious and surprised.
Is this Fang Zong really looking at me so openly? Does he think there’s something on my face?
Crossing his legs on the leather sofa, Fang Zong lifted his eyelids while the butler discreetly exited. Originally intending to question him, Qing She found it hard to say anything further since he already knew Fang Zong's background.
Why did you ask me here? You think you’re doing well with that factory? In reality, someone has been keeping an eye on it for a long time. I brought you here so that you wouldn’t stand out too much.
The Green Snake did not believe his words at all.
This location was one he had painstakingly searched for, and who would just appear there out of the blue? Seeing her skepticism, Mr. Fang took out a document.
It contained clear instructions to develop that area, and you just happened to hold the most central piece of land. Many people are looking for you now.
He never imagined that he would be exposed for this matter. The Green Snake continued to stare at him. So what? Are you planning to show me a way forward?
I think I need to remind you that the initial funding came from me, and now whatever I want you to do, you must listen to me. Did I hear you correctly? Am I selling myself to you?
After all, he had quite a few people under him; taking down the Fang family wouldn’t be a problem.
I advise you not to entertain any thoughts that shouldn’t exist, or else it will end very badly for you. Just that one sentence made a hint of trepidation rise in the Green Snake's heart.
The other party actually knew what she was thinking. The matters with Shangguan Yao would continue; this time, besides some exchanges of goods, we would also have some dealings in public, and I need you.
Mr. Fang did not hide his intentions at all. You want me to show my face? No, that’s absolutely impossible! If his face were exposed, Lin Yuan could find him in no time; wasn’t that jumping into a fire pit?
Don’t be too hasty in rejecting it; I’m not asking you to go die. Mr. Fang gestured for her to look at the document on the table.
I have invested twenty million in this company; as for what to do, it’s up to you. The money in the account is all clean.
Clean money—this was something the Green Snake hadn’t heard in a long time. But could he really spend that money openly while still under the spotlight?
