"Do we really have to cooperate with them?"
The bodyguard who had followed stood behind Shangguan Yao, a hint of worry on his face.
Isn't the Shangguan family built on collaborations with these people? If I use the same methods now, no one can say anything to me. Otherwise, should we just wait for them to finish us off?
Shangguan Yao settled into the car, her expression calm and indifferent.
At first, she didn't want to compete with those from the Shangguan family, but if she didn't fight for herself, she would end up with nothing. Those people wouldn't leave her even a dime.
But...
"Alright, let's go."
The car slowly started moving.
In the vehicle parked by the roadside, Lin Yuan was particularly focused on the man who had just spoken.
Now that Butterfly was gone, the next person sent by the other side would be crucial. Would this person be as important as Butterfly?
He sent the photo taken on his phone to the police station, where Jiang Jinchuan happened to be present. Lin Yuan asked him to look into this individual.
After returning to the station, the information came through.
The person was named Zhou Xuan; this time it wasn't a foreigner but someone with a domestic ID.
This person's resume was quite impressive, having held positions in several companies, indicating that there shouldn't be any issues.
"They should only have a simple cooperative relationship, right?" Jiang Jinchuan speculated from the side, unaware of what had happened on the ship.
"Not necessarily."
After saying this, Lin Yuan cast a curious glance at him.
"Aren't you going back?"
Aren't members of the Lin family supposed to come by this afternoon? Although the case was taken over by that district, it would be better to resolve it as soon as possible if they could finish it today.
"This matter probably won't be resolved in a day."
With people already gone, Lin Mu wouldn't back down completely.
"I know that, but the victim's family happens to be nearby."
In truth, he just wanted to save time; the case was still filed in that district, and even if it needed to be transferred over, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
Since he said so, Lin Yuan naturally went along with him.
"It seems like there really isn't a problem," he thought, yet he still felt something was off regarding Zhou Xuan's identity.
After leaving her conversation with Shangguan Yao, Zhou Xuan's phone displayed a segment of surveillance footage showing Lin Yuan's car.
Previously, Butterfly had been targeted due to her contact with Shangguan Yao; now that the target had shifted to him, it was impossible for them not to come after him.
"Mr. Zhou, where are we headed now?"
"Let's go check out the company first and recruit some finance staff or something. Oh right, that money on the black card came from my account, right?"
After putting down his phone, his tone remained flat and unperturbed.
Zhou Xuan felt a bit timid when facing Fang Zong, but that didn’t mean he acted the same way in front of others. Yes, later the boss would provide you with a capital injection from the company. This way, the money would be laundered again. Zhou Xuan revealed a satisfied smile. He couldn’t imagine how exhilarating it would be to spend that money abroad.
He had certainly noticed Lin Yuan, and what he wanted was for the police to focus all their energy on the entanglement between the two of them, rather than on other matters. The coastal city had more than just the sea; it only required some effort.
After lunch, Lin Yuan initially planned to head directly to the office for a rest, but he received a phone call midway and went straight to the Technical Department. "Can I borrow your computer for a moment?" Seeing that it was him, the officer naturally stepped aside.
Qiu Shui sent a message saying they had found some clues. After their last entry into the internal network, the address had been changed, and there were signs of someone else intruding. Technically speaking, the resources provided by the Criminal Investigation Department were top-notch, and Lin Yuan was confident that his skills surpassed those of whoever was hiding in Haizang.
Thus, this mysterious third party appeared quite suspicious. "Is the address still overseas?"
"Yes, I even showed it to my dad. He told me that the other party is using a highly advanced type of network virus, but it’s not fully developed yet."
"Do you know which specific area?"
"Honestly, I have no idea." Qiu Shui wondered if he was becoming less useful; why did everyone he encountered recently seem so clueless?
"Then you don’t need to worry about this matter for now; just keep me updated." Lin Yuan understood that this wasn’t something that could be resolved quickly. The person mentioned by Tong was very clever; moving headquarters overseas was indeed a wise decision since domestic police rarely had cases involving international travel. To catch this person would require either them coming over personally or him going there himself.
However, cross-border operations were quite challenging. "Lin Yuan, the few people who came over this morning have arrived now; do you want to come take a look?" Jiang Jinchuan happened to pass by the Technical Department and casually asked upon spotting him.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and nodded. He wanted to see what had happened; this incident might be related to his rental property.
In the mediation room sat a large group of people. The deceased was a woman, and many things were already clear; now the key issue was determining responsibility for Lin Muzhi. Full responsibility was certain, and his driver's license would also be revoked. Jiang Jinchuan's words left no room for doubt.
The deceased had not committed any violations while driving; instead, it was Lin Muzhi who was entirely at fault.
Lin Muzhi looked different from the morning; his face was noticeably swollen, a stark contrast to earlier.
"Oh, poor daughter..."
The family of the deceased was heartbroken, having already had a fierce argument with several members of the Lin family before their arrival. Now, they were in a stage of mediation.
"Officer, will my child go to jail?"
Even though she knew it might not be the right time to ask such a question, Lin Muzhi's mother still voiced her concern.
"Your son killed my daughter and expects to take no responsibility, just offering a few measly coins? You must be dreaming!"
Before Jiang Jinchuan could respond, the parents of the deceased became agitated again.
Lin Yuan merely glanced at Lin Muzhi sitting across the room, choosing not to speak. He had come wearing a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lin Muzhi's complexion was pale.
At that moment, Jiang Jinchuan tapped the table, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
What should be done next would depend on further determinations; however, if they could obtain forgiveness from the family of the deceased, it would certainly lessen any penalties.
"This is something you must discuss among yourselves."
In his view, Lin Muzhi was not worth much sympathy.
"We will never let you go, you murderer!"
With those words from the deceased's family, the Lin family understood that this matter would not be easily resolved.
"How much do you want? Is ten thousand enough?"
Lin Muzhi's father spoke in a deep voice.
For ordinary people, this was an astronomical figure; even if they worked their entire lives, they would not earn that much.
The number left the family of the deceased stunned.
Jiang Jinchuan showed little surprise; wealthy individuals often preferred to resolve issues this way. Lin Yuan looked curiously at the grieving family across from him.
To put it bluntly, exchanging a letter of forgiveness for ten thousand was quite a deal.
