An hour later, Lin Yuan still hadn't finished the drink. He realized he might not be able to wait for those two any longer, so he decided to leave.
Meanwhile, the two people sitting in the private room were preparing to set a trap for Lin Yuan, but it seemed like they were the ones being played instead. At this moment, Shangguan Yao suddenly remembered something. Hadn't he driven here? It seemed that one shouldn't drink if they had driven.
How careless of him. Zhou Xuan just realized that she had forgotten this detail. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have wasted so much time. However, President Fang had insisted that she refrain from taking action; recently, this kid had been keeping an eye on her, and it was becoming quite frustrating. It seemed she would have to wait for another opportunity.
Shangguan Yao casually asked, "Do you really have such a deep grudge against this person? As far as I know, he hasn't been in the district for more than a month."
Zhou Xuan recalled a particular incident from a couple of days ago that had caught her attention. "He has ruined quite a bit for us. If Miss Shangguan hopes for our upcoming collaboration to proceed smoothly, it's best not to dwell on these matters." Although her tone carried a hint of threat, Shangguan Yao understood it was merely a reminder. Unless they wanted to sever ties with the Shangguan family, there was no need for them to escalate the situation.
"Back already?" Bai Ling didn't even look up.
"Yes, I haven't noticed any movements from them in the past couple of days. We signed a contract regarding the company," Lin Yuan replied.
"Are you planning to personally inspect customs then?" Bai Ling asked.
Lin Yuan shook his head. "Anything that can be put on the table shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Besides, I don't think I could be stricter than customs over there."
"Let's check this person first." Bai Ling leaned in closer to see a curvaceous female bartender on Lin Yuan's phone; it was evident that she was quite attractive. He couldn't help but tease Lin Yuan a bit. "I didn't expect you to frequent bars."
"I only followed them there; I haven't really spent much time in bars myself," Lin Yuan said as he prepared to put his phone away.
"Wait." Bai Ling called him back.
Due to the dim lighting in the bar, Lin Yuan hadn't taken photos but opted for video instead, making it easier for him to review later.
"What's up?" Lin Yuan asked as Bai Ling took his phone and began carefully reviewing the video.
"Take a look at this first."
"Is there something wrong?"
As Lin Yuan finally reviewed the frame captured from the video, he sensed something was off. The clarity of his phone was quite high, so it was unlikely to be a lighting issue; the video couldn't have been faked. He suspected that something else had been added.
In that brief moment when the wine glass paused, a white object flashed by. Normally, all a bartender needed to do was mix various liquors together. There shouldn't have been any additional steps in the process from the drinks to the glass. What did they want to add to your drink?
Lin Yuan put his phone away. Fortunately, he had driven here; otherwise, he might have actually drunk that glass of wine. He didn't know what it could be, but it surely wasn't anything good. That much was certain.
It could very well be something dangerous.
Clearly, his suspicions aligned with Lin Yuan's. No wonder there had been no action after following for so long; they were waiting here instead. But before realizing that this female bartender was problematic, how did you know she was an issue? Bai Ling asked curiously.
She had replaced my drink midway through, but she didn't say anything—just remade it. In fact, this segment of the video was recorded while she was preparing the second drink. The other party might not have noticed, but Lin Yuan felt there was indeed something wrong.
At that moment, he had merely pretended to chat with someone; his phone was actually recording the video, which explained its origin.
That's right; let's investigate further. If the other party really is someone sent by Shangguan Yao, they might be connected to Qing She, whose members are mostly fugitives. It remained uncertain whether this woman was one of them.
After a few minutes, the woman's information was retrieved.
It seemed she wasn't involved at all. She was just a temporary employee at that bar and held a domestic ID; nothing appeared amiss from what they could see.
How could this be? I should have brought that drink back with me so I could examine its contents. They already had samples of known drugs on their side; a simple comparison would quickly reveal whether anything suspicious was present.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.
Do you think if I went back now, they would make me another drink?
If you think that's possible, I won't stop you from going back right now.
Let's forget about it; I don't think there's much chance of that happening.
After exchanging a few light-hearted remarks, Lin Yuan gathered and printed out the collected data.
What are you doing? Bai Ling asked.
I’m working overtime tonight; these materials seem problematic, and I want to take a look first.
There must be someone who tampered with the police department's network before him. Lin Yuan wasn't sure if he could uncover it, but he had to give it a try, right?
Bai Ling muttered behind him, It's such a waste of a good day off.
At this moment, in the Lin family.
Due to Lin Mu's situation, he was currently being held at the police station and would not be returning anytime soon. Fortunately, the other party had issued a letter of understanding, allowing them to maneuver a bit in this matter, ensuring that Lin Mu wouldn’t end up imprisoned for many years.
You mentioned encountering Lin Yuan?
The elderly patriarch sat in his chair, gazing at the couple to his left. They were the ones who had proposed a paternity test with Lin Yuan, and they informed him of the details.
Consultant?
I remember that back then, we simply ignored him; how did this child become a consultant?
Lin Yuan used to be an ordinary worker. The Lin family certainly wouldn’t acknowledge him, especially since the family was in turmoil at that time and didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with him. However, this news was different for the Lin family.
Being a consultant for the Hai family wasn’t an easy position to hold. The Bai family member was also present; their connection must run deep.
But can we really say that? Working in the police station is fraught with danger; it’s possible that someone might take action against our Lin family from the shadows. Shouldn’t we reconsider?
What they were discussing now was about Lin Yuan; no matter what happened, Lin Mu couldn’t change that fact.
Lin Mu’s parents were still very worried about Lin Yuan's return. It’s likely that Lin Yuan himself never imagined he would one day get caught up in this so-called feud among the wealthy.
What nonsense is this? He is still part of our Lin family and has achieved something now.
The old man clearly didn’t share this sentiment.
However, the other couple frowned; the wife was recognized by the old patriarch as his goddaughter and had some talent in business. She spoke up:
I’ve asked about that child’s attitude; he doesn’t want to come back. If we push too hard, won’t it be detrimental?
But he is still of our bloodline; what’s there to discuss? Can he decide this?
The old man snorted coldly, as if this matter had already been settled.
