The call came from the police station, and Lin Yuan was a bit surprised; hadn't he just hung up the phone?
"Advisor Lin, we have a situation that might require your assistance," the voice on the other end was Jiang Jinchuan, whom Lin Yuan recognized.
"Aren't you supposed to be over at the district?" He recalled that Jiang had mentioned there were no advisors in that area, which was why he was willing to take on the role there. Why was the call coming from here now?
"The situation is a bit complicated. Can you come over?"
Even though it was his day off, Lin Yuan decided to go.
Upon arriving at the police station, he saw a man who looked particularly unpleasant. The moment the man spotted Lin Yuan, he pointed at him and shouted to the nearby officer, "Yes! That's him! He was the one who hit me with his car!"
"This is called hit-and-run, right?"
The officer would have restrained him immediately if not for the injuries he had sustained.
"Calm down for a moment and explain what happened. We have surveillance footage," the officer said.
In the past few days, they had been monitoring Lin Yuan's office and noted that he hadn't left at all; even when he did go out, it was strictly for work-related tasks—certainly not to the district.
"Calm down? Am I supposed to just accept being accused of a hit-and-run? Let me be clear: I want compensation of over a hundred thousand!" The man’s attitude suggested he felt justified in his demands, as if he believed the police were siding with Lin Yuan.
The more Lin Yuan listened, the more confused he became. Originally, Zhang Yaozhi was supposed to come from the police station, but since he had matters to attend to, he sent Jiang Jinchuan instead.
At this moment, Jiang Jinchuan looked at Lin Yuan with an expression of helplessness. He had already explained things to the man, but it seemed futile.
"You can talk to me; let’s go to the conference room and discuss this," Jiang suggested. "The surveillance footage should be ready too; we can watch it together."
Lin Yuan didn’t want to bear such a heavy accusation. Over a hundred thousand? What was that if not robbery?
The man shot Lin Yuan a glare. "Fine, let’s go."
The surveillance footage arrived quickly in the conference room. Since this was merely a hit-and-run and not a serious crime, only a few officers were present to oversee things. Ling and Zheng Rufeng did not come.
The video showed a person colliding with a man riding an electric bike; the vehicle involved appeared quite expensive. However, since it was filmed at night, it was difficult to see the other person's face clearly.
"It does look somewhat like you," Jiang Jinchuan remarked after watching it several times.
Not only that, but I also have a dashcam. Without concrete evidence, he wouldn't just come over like this.
The man pulled out his phone from his pocket and played another video for them to see. "I was live streaming at the time. Isn’t it all the rage to document a beautiful life? So I recorded a few clips."
In this video, the faces of the people inside the car were clearly captured.
It really looks a bit like...
Jiang Jinchuan was taken aback.
Lin Yuan also found it hard to believe; his parents didn’t have any other children, so how did this person come into the picture?
"Now that you’ve seen it clearly, you must compensate me. Otherwise, I’ll report you to the police!"
"I didn’t go out that night at all, and let alone do I own such a car," Lin Yuan replied.
The only possibility Lin Yuan could think of was that someone was targeting him from behind.
But would they really resort to hit-and-run tactics?
Moreover, during that time, I was still on the ship.
Then it couldn’t possibly be him.
"What ship? I demand an explanation from you right now; otherwise, I’m not leaving!"
Seeing the man's stance, Lin Yuan and Jiang Jinchuan exchanged glances.
"How about this? Since we have the surveillance footage, let’s check whose name this car is registered under."
The man still seemed somewhat skeptical.
"You guys in the police department aren’t covering for your own people, are you?"
The officer who had been silent shook his head in denial immediately. "Sir, please trust us. Moreover, our consultant Lin has only been here for less than half a month. If we were to cover for him, we wouldn’t gain anything."
He glanced at Lin Yuan as if he wanted to say something, but Lin Yuan merely nodded.
"Besides, he used to work in food delivery; there’s no way he could own a car."
"Yes, I’ve been doing this for over a year now," Lin Yuan nodded seriously.
These two statements left the man momentarily speechless; he opened his mouth but suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Just when Lin Yuan thought the other party should give him some time, he indeed did—his gaze was filled with unspoken words.
He shouldn’t have said anything more, but Lin Yuan still asked, "What’s wrong?"
The other party replied:
It’s nothing much, I just didn’t expect your career to span such a wide range since I used to deliver food myself. Everyone is doing food delivery; how could you become a consultant? Aren’t you supposed to take exams for that?
Uh...
After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Yuan asked the other person to wait outside for a moment before he went to check the license plate number. The relevant license plate information must be on file, and when the results came back, Lin Yuan discovered that this vehicle had been involved in traffic accidents more than once, with several instances being rear-end collisions.
Lin Mu Zhi??
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Jinchuan's face when he saw this name.
Do you know this person?
Jiang Jinchuan shook his head.
I’ve only heard of him. He is the only heir of the Lin family and the favorite grandson of the old man Lin. However, he tends to be a bit reckless in his actions. He does have some talent in business.
The Lin family?
Lin Yuan had always fought his way up from a young age; he had never heard his mother mention anything about the Lin family. These two people looked strikingly similar.
Are there any other photos of Lin family members?
Jiang Jinchuan searched through his phone and quickly found some relevant information. The latest he could find was from over ten years ago. It turned out that the Lin family indeed had another son, but he had gone missing long ago. Later, it seemed someone had issued a death certificate for him.
Hiss! It seems you might actually be related to them, right?
Jiang Jinchuan thought there might be something wrong with his reasoning. These two really did look alike; who would believe there was no blood relation? As he said this, Lin Yuan recalled how his rental apartment had been turned upside down before. Could there be some connection between these two?
