"Don't move!"
Upon entering the underground parking garage, they immediately targeted a man and a woman inside. The occupants were completely unaware of their presence. This basement had two doors, front and back, and they were currently focused on the little boy nearby.
"Damn it, grab that kid as a hostage!"
The woman froze, momentarily confused about how her position had been exposed. Meanwhile, the other individual began to take action. However, as soon as he stepped forward, a bullet landed right in front of him. They had come armed with real guns.
Now the man dared not move, cold sweat pouring down his back. How did the police find them? He hadn't revealed any information over the phone just moments ago.
As he pondered this, his gaze shifted to the woman. "Did you leak something?!"
The woman's expression was one of disbelief, as if he were insane. "Why would I do that? If I were crazy enough to do that, why would I even come here?"
"Alright, you can save your explanations for the police station."
At that moment, officers arrived and handcuffed both of them. The little boy's eyes were red from crying as he looked up at the police officer who had come to take him away.
"Uncle, I know them! They work with my dad."
The officer reassured him, "We know your parents are waiting for you at the station. Let's go over there first, okay?"
After calming the child's emotions, they called Lin Yuan to explain the situation briefly before taking the child into their vehicle.
At the police station, Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief; things had gone as he expected, saving them time in the process. In about half an hour, the child would be brought over since they had apprehended the suspects.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Mu felt a surge of joy while a flicker of worry crossed the man's face. Lin Yuan noticed this but chose not to ask any questions.
"Dad! Mom!"
As soon as they got out of the car, the little boy dashed towards his parents while the two apprehended individuals were brought before everyone else.
Slap!
Lin Mu's father delivered a sharp slap to the woman's face. "I took you into Lin Group out of kindness and gave you such a good position. Is this how you repay me—by kidnapping my son?"
The slap stunned everyone present. Until now, this father had seemed less anxious than the child's mother; his sudden aggression felt out of place.
The woman winced in pain from the slap but smirked at him defiantly. "Do you think you're something special?"
Lin Mu's father sensed that the situation was not right and suppressed his anger a little.
"You better think carefully about what to say when you go in there. If you don't speak properly, don't blame me for being merciless with your father."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely speak well." After this statement, the officer no longer allowed them to communicate.
"Daddy?" The child, seeing his father so angry, felt a bit scared and clung to his mother's leg.
Lin Yuan observed that the matter had been resolved and did not intend to linger there. Surely, he wouldn't have to deal with any further issues, right?
Upon returning to the office, he was surprised to find Bai Ling not handling any files but seemingly waiting for him to return.
"I thought you would go straight back to the Lin family. After all, their company is neither too big nor too small."
"Consultant Bai seems to know quite a bit?"
"Isn't this a bit too familiar?"
Lin Yuan had no intention of dwelling on the Lin family's affairs. Upon seeing the documents on his desk, he remembered that there were still tasks left undone.
Glancing at his phone in frustration, Lin Yuan picked up the files and approached Bai Ling.
"There’s a situation."
"What is it?"
At that moment, as he picked up the documents, he felt somewhat indifferent. It had only been a few days; even if things were complicated, it was unlikely that everyone would be dragged into it so soon. Besides, how would he know where to start?
The information indicated a wanted criminal's face—it was indeed that female bartender—but the subsequent details were completely different from the previous ones.
On the contrary, she was a foreign national of Chinese descent who had committed a crime and fled here.
So why couldn’t this information be found in the police department?
"How did you find this out?"
"I stayed up all night; it's not a big deal. Besides, I discovered something even more interesting."
Lin Yuan rarely showed a smile; he usually approached work quite seriously.
"Look at this."
The document displayed another set of information with the name Zhou Xuan.
"Zhou Xuan? Isn’t this..."
"Yes, she’s the one who was with Shangguan Yao. I thought things were complicated, but it seems there’s only one trouble from beginning to end."
The file detailed the relationship between Zhou Xuan and the female bartender and how they had gotten in touch; it seemed someone had deliberately left it there for someone to discover.
Lin Yuan knew that there were more hidden hands behind this and that finding the other two individuals was crucial. Especially that Mr. Fang—he had already checked Mr. Fang's information and found that it didn’t match up at all with anyone else of the same name.
And then there was that person—the one who had tried to blow him up with a bomb; his information had also surfaced.
As Lin Yuan spoke these words, Bai Ling's gaze toward him grew increasingly strange.
"Why don't you answer my initial question? How did you find out?"
"Yesterday, I went online and connected with someone from abroad, from the police department's network. Initially, the other party was using the police department to manipulate things, leading them to be misled. If Lin Yuan hadn't been forced to improve his skills, he wouldn't have noticed it either."
"Is there anyone else?" Bai Ling wondered if they should consider the technical department, which repeatedly allowed others to breach their bottom line. How could this be acceptable?
He edited a message on his phone and sent it out before stuffing the device back into his pocket. Now, they just had to wait for Team Leader Zheng.
He glanced at the computer, thought for a moment, and then found the name of the financial officer in the previous records. He proceeded to check what was going on with her father. However, the results surprised him.
Below, a family was happily reunited while the secretary stepped outside to make a phone call to report the situation.
"Didn't your mother tell you not to go out? Who told you to follow along?"
"But I thought it was my aunt..."
"You can't do this next time; your dad and I will worry."
Lin Mu's father said sternly.
Just as they were having this heartfelt family moment, Lin Yuan stepped in front of them.
"Consultant Lin?"
After a moment of thought, Lin Mu's mother still addressed him this way.
However, Lin Yuan wasn't there to speak with her; he looked at the man and shared the information he had uncovered.
"Li Zhenqin's father passed away a month ago and was sent for cremation; he is no longer in the hospital."
The man's expression froze, his body stiffening in shock.
"How is that possible? I’ve been paying for medical expenses every month!"
