What's going on in Chapter 137?
"Hehe, Yan Jie, have you eaten yet?" Lorin's tone was without a hint of fatigue, with the same cheerful and casual feeling as always.
Upon hearing Lorraine's voice as usual, Jiang Yan finally put her mind at ease and scolded with a hint of resentment: "You little brat, you've finally decided to turn on your phone! Do you know how many calls I made to you, and they were all rejected because your phone was off? I was so worried!!!"
Two people have not been in contact since they parted ways at Jiaren Youyue that day. At the time, Luolun sent Jiangyan back to her apartment and then left in a hurry. Her intuition told her that Luolun might be going to do something very important. She had never seen Luolun suddenly reveal such a solemn expression, so she inferred that what Luolun was about to face must be extraordinary. That night, Jiangyan returned to her apartment with a dazed expression and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning. She wanted to call Luolun but worried it would delay his business, so she decided to wait until the next morning to call him. Luolun never slept in late, and Jiangyan knew this habit of his. However, when she dialed Luolun's phone the next morning, it showed that it was turned off, which made Jiangyan wonder.
Throughout the whole day, Jiang Yan called every hour or so, but it was still powered off, until this morning, Luolin's phone had never been turned on.
This time, Jiang Yan was thoroughly anxious, and the whole morning was in a state of distraction. Fortunately, there were no major cases to be handled in the office for the time being, otherwise something would have gone wrong.
At this time, Lorraine suddenly called proactively and seemed to be fine, only then did Jiang Yan completely put her mind at ease.
"Sister Yan, I see you've called me many times, is there something urgent?" Luo Lin asked a question that wasn't really a question at this moment.
Jiang Yan was somewhat angry, and said in a huff: "What's so urgent? You heartless little brat, I've been worried sick about you! Check for yourself, how many times have I called you? One call every hour, your sister here has spent 24 hours calling you except when I'm sleeping!"
Over the phone, Lorrin scratched his head awkwardly. As for the matter of Gu Po Yu Jian, Lorrin had to keep it a secret from everyone, including his family members. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but rather that he didn't want to implicate them. Now, whether Gu Po Yu Jian's existence was known only to himself or not was an unknown quantity. What if some formidable figures with the intention of seizing Gu Po Yu Jian appeared? The more people who knew about it, the more dangerous it would be - this was common sense.
"Sister Yan, how about this? I'll go out now and treat you to a meal, okay?" Towards Jiang Yan's concern, Luo Lin still felt warmth in his heart. The relationship between the two people was very subtle at the moment, yes, it was that kind of relationship similar to love, near love, and could evolve into love at any time and place.
"Now... " Jiang Yan paused for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, "I'm not free to go now. Just now the higher-ups sent down an urgent notice saying there's another important meeting later on. How about I'll let you treat me again tonight?"
It's obvious that Jiang Yan also misses Lorrain now, and it can be heard from her somewhat reluctant tone.
Important meeting?
Lorraine's mind was very sharp and she subconsciously thought of the python and mountain cat dying on the street, could it be that this meeting is about that?
Thinking carefully, it seems that I didn't leave any clues before, but I'm afraid the cops might find some threads and traces, in which case the law enforcement can't do anything to the Tiān Yǎn organization, so they'll just have to take me down instead.
"Yan Jie, what's this important meeting?" Luo Lin was very concerned about the question and asked hastily after a moment of contemplation.
Jiang Yan heard Luo Lin's suddenly serious tone, and her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly. This little scoundrel must have gotten into some kind of trouble again during these two days he went missing, right?
However, it should have nothing to do with this meeting. Just now, an urgent notice came down from the top, saying that a serious homicide case had occurred, and the victim's body was extremely gruesome, as if he had been killed by an explosive weapon. Preliminary inference suggests that it may be related to **** or gangsters, or possibly a gang fight. The victim may have been shot and killed by a certain type of shotgun with extremely rapid firepower.
Jiang Yan thought, although Luo Lin was sometimes ruthless, he would never actually kill anyone. At most, he would beat someone half to death. Luo Lin still had some limits, and besides, Jiang Yan couldn't possibly associate him with anything like gangsters or underground fighting. After all, he was a genuine rich second-generation, why would he need to get involved in such dangerous activities?
So naturally, Jiang Yan excluded Lorraine, although at this time Lorraine's tone made people feel a bit suspicious.
"It's nothing, there was a murder case, two unidentified men died, and it's under investigation. I'll go to the meeting later and discuss the next plan. Sigh... Lorraine, recently Baiyang City has been quite unstable too. From now on, try to stay out less and focus on finishing this month's studies, got it?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yan's description, Luo Lin directly thought of the dead python and mountain cat. ...It seems that this case has already started to be investigated.
I hope I didn't leave any traces behind. Moreover, Dragon and I were rescued by Hu Yidao's people. If Hu Yidao is truly harmless to me, he should help me destroy some of the evidence on the scene. It has to be said that Luo Lin's rescue was quite hasty, but at least it saved Dragon and obtained the mysterious ancient jade slip. The greater the reward, the greater the sacrifice that comes with it, that's just how it is.
"Alright, got it, Yan Jie. You can call me as soon as you finish work tonight and I'll come pick you up."
"Uh-huh."
…………
The afternoon passed quickly, and at around 6 or 7 o'clock, Jiang Yan's phone call came. A slightly tired voice came from the other end: "Hello, I'm off work..."
"Uh, Yan Jie, you must be tired? Wait for me at the bureau for a bit, I'll come pick you up right away."
"Pick me up? How pick?"
Hehe, take a taxi.
"Seriously, picking up my sister to go eat and actually taking a taxi, how tacky is that? Not sincere at all."
Lorraine smiled thickly: "No way, poor family, too poor..."
"Get lost! ...I'm not going to drag this out, come quickly, I'm about to die of exhaustion. If I don't see you within twenty minutes, someone else will ask me out." Jiang Yan snapped, trying to stir up Lorin's anxiety.
But unexpectedly, Lorraine had a high immunity to Jiang Yan's move and laughed: "Alright, I'll be there in 21 minutes. If you're taken away by someone else, I'll have to go on a date with someone else."
"I'm so fed up with you!!~~"
Jiang Yan was somewhat annoyed, but Luo Lin quickly hung up the phone and walked out of the campus in a hurry. He stepped onto the main road, raised his hand to hail a taxi, and got into one that stopped for him.
"Mr. Luo, where are you going?"
Before Lorraine could say where she wanted to go, the taxi driver turned around with a smile and said.
Lorraine heard the sound and was slightly stunned, raised her eyes and saw a familiar face: "... Lu Chuan? ..."
This taxi driver, none other than the person beside Hu Yidao, had followed Lorrain from Zhenzhou City to Baiyang City in the guise of a taxi driver. Later, his identity was exposed and Lorrain formally met Mr. Hu, so Lorrain also eliminated his hostility towards Lu Chuan. But... how did this guy end up squatting at my spot again? Is he still following me? If that's the case, then Hu Yidao is really too despicable!
But at the moment, this situation shouldn't be a covert tailing of oneself. As soon as he got on the bus, Lu Chuan greeted himself first, even if it was tailing, it was an overt tailing!
Lorraine raised an eyebrow, knowing that Lu Chuan didn't seem to have any malicious intentions and wasn't in a hurry to reveal where he was going. With a hint of a smile, she asked: "Mr. Lu, is driving a taxi your hobby or a part-time job?"
Lu Chuan smiled slightly: "Mr. Luo, sorry, I'm not following you, but Mr. Hu asked me to tell you something. Your current identity is a student, and I've been following Mr. Hu for many years. Many eyes in Baiyang City know me, so I came by taxi to avoid suspicion, please don't mind."
Lorraine narrowed her eyes, nodded slightly, and waved her hand: "Speak up, what's the matter?"
"Last time Mr. Luo and your friend left in a hurry, Mr. Hu didn't have a chance to leave you his contact information." As he spoke, Lu Chuan took out a white business card from his pocket and handed it to Luo Lin with both hands, "This is Mr. Hu's contact information, he hopes you can give him a call, there are some things that I'd rather not convey, it's better for Mr. Luo to communicate with Mr. Hu directly."
Lorraine took the white business card, glanced at it roughly, and found that there was no company name, no position, only a simple title and a phone number "Mr. Hu. Mobile: 137XXXXXXX".
Lorin hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand: "Mr. Lu, take me to the Baiyang City Police Bureau first, I'll call Mr. Hu on the way."
"Uh-huh." Lu Chuan nodded and stepped on the gas pedal, and the taxi slowly drove away.
What is Hu Yidao trying to tell me?
The car drove faster and the road became smoother. Lorraine took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally entered Hu Yidao's phone number according to the white business card. Even with countless guesses in her mind, it was better to make a call to confirm than to speculate.
He pressed the dial button, and soon the other end picked up the phone. Hu Yidao's calm yet slightly villainous voice came through: "Little Luo brother, I'm delighted you personally called me."
