Chapter 34: Undercurrents Surge
The police arrived quickly and controlled the Hummer driver who caused the accident. Since only a few people were slightly injured, the scene was soon stabilized.
While Li Meng was still pondering whether Chen Zixuan was the target he was looking for, she had already hung up the phone and walked over in this direction, but her gaze seemed somewhat unusual.
Li Mang saved her, she was grateful in her heart, but also had a sense of vigilance. However, she didn't show what she thought in her mind and forced out a smile to thank Li Mang: "Thank you for saving me."
"No big deal, it's just part of my job. Besides, even if I didn't intervene, President Chen would have at most been scratched, his reaction speed is astonishing." Li Mang seemed to be hinting at something, and before she could react, he immediately asked: "By the way, who was it that called President Chen earlier?"
"It's a friend of mine... anyway, thanks for today, but my family has come to pick me up, can only wait till tomorrow to thank you again!" Chen Zixuan said apologetically.
"Oh?" Li Meng looked towards the road and indeed saw a team of cars rushing over. He also spotted a familiar figure, Chen Jia's second daughter, Chen Ziyin. If she were to see him here, it might make Chen Ziyun even more vigilant. So he said: "No need to mention thanks or not, General Manager Chen, please go ahead!"
As she turned around, Li Meng also quickly disappeared into the crowd and returned to his hotel, communicating with the Yan Huang surveillance team.
"The phone is a landline of Chen's family, but it cannot be inquired who made the call." The surveillance team soon gave a reply.
"Chen's landline? Can you send all call records of this phone to my email?" Li Mang asked.
"No problem, received!"
Li Mang soon received the call record of this phone, and found that the number was surprisingly small, only seven calls were made in a year, which is not in line with common sense. In addition, this landline phone was installed four years ago, coinciding with Chen's rise to power.
"It's not Chen Zixuan who has precognitive abilities!" Li Meng had already confirmed this point.
Looking back at the scene of the accident just now, Chen Zixuan was indeed able to predict that an accident would happen, but she made the judgment after hearing the ringtone. Moreover, it is estimated that this ringtone was specially customized for this number and is completely different from other incoming call ringtones.
"Could this person be Chen Zining?" Li Mang guessed, but he couldn't rely on guessing for everything. He immediately retrieved a file from the safe, which was about Chen Zining's daily habits. However, what he found shocked him greatly. According to her usual habits, Chen Zining should have been in class today, and the time of the incident was just after she had finished class. She shouldn't be at home.
Of course, it's not ruled out that Chen Zining skipped class or didn't have any classes today, after all, this is university and can't be compared to the habits of middle school or high school.
Then Li Meng called up the energy of Yan Huang and started investigating. After waiting for more than an hour, he got an unexpected answer.
This afternoon Chen Zining had class, and when the incident occurred, it was just after class. She went directly from Chengdu University to Coral Culture Company, which means that there is another person with superpowers.
The result was completely beyond Li Mang's imagination, and it also made him headache. He sighed deeply at the incompetence of the Huangyang Intelligence Unit. Originally, he wanted to report this matter to Yang Fan, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Informing him now would be useless, so it's better for himself to investigate further and talk about it later when there's a lead.
"Monitoring team, this is Li Meng of Team 9. Help me investigate who was at the Chen family villa at 4:30 this afternoon."
"I'm afraid all the cameras near Chen's house are under their internal network control, we can't access them."
"How about the hacker?"
"Hacking won't work either, this is a completely independent intranet, unless you can secretly connect to the network."
"...". Li Mang pretended he hadn't heard anything; after all, he wasn't Spiderman. Unfortunately, his investigation came to an end just like that, and he was still completely clueless.
A major problem has now been placed in front of Li Meng, and all the clues have almost been cut off. How should he continue to investigate? Sneak into the Chen family to take a look? With his current strength, he absolutely does not have the skill to sneak into the Chen family quietly. Now he can only hope to complete this task through Chen Zishan.
"Ding ding ding!......" The sudden ring of the phone interrupted Li Meng's thoughts, he picked up his mobile and saw that it was Yang Fan, without thinking much, he answered.
"Li Meng, I've already known what happened on your side. Now things have changed, we suspect that there is a hostile force also looking for precognitive abilities. The other party's behavior is crazy and unscrupulous, so be extremely careful!" Yang Fan's cautious voice came from the receiver.
Yang Guanshi said, "Is this incident tonight man-made? Is someone testing whether Chen Zixuan has precognitive abilities?" Li Mang was shocked.
"We don't have sufficient evidence to prove this, but I estimate a 60% possibility. Now you must ensure the target's safety and remember not to let the other side get ahead of us. If that happens, it will not only be a loss for our Huang Yang Institute, but also the task force will hold you accountable for your dereliction of duty!" Yang Fan said seriously.
Li Mang could only hold his forehead with both hands and hastily informed Yang Fan: "The precognitive ability holder may not be the Chen sisters, but someone else."
"...Yang Fan, who was opposite, did not speak for a long time after hearing this. Perhaps he was surprised, or perhaps he was thinking about Li Meng's analysis. After a long time, he suddenly said something astonishing: "Maybe we've been going in the wrong direction all along. The thing that allows the Chen family to predict the future is not a person, but a treasure!"
"What a treasure!" Li Mang felt that he was already at a loss for words to express his thoughts, had his three views been completely destroyed? Or was it just that he was ignorant and inexperienced?
"Not bad, it might be an ancient artifact that can predict the future. The situation is urgent, I will personally rush to Chengdu. In the meantime, you must ensure the safety of the Chen family, especially tonight, no mistakes are allowed!" Yang Fan ordered seriously.
"Didn't you say this was a simple task?" Li Meng looked at the satellite phone in his hand that had been hung up, his mind tangled with worries about how to protect the Chen family.
……
At the same time, in the study of the Chen family villa, the four members of the Chen family gathered together, and the atmosphere in the study was slightly tense.
"The perpetrator's name is Peng Kai, a client of Zisan Company. He came to Coral Culture this time to invite staff to a celebratory dinner, but unexpectedly the Hummer car suddenly lost control. For now, it seems like an accident." Chen Hui said, exhaling smoke, his face as calm as dead water, making it impossible to read his thoughts.
The car lost control? The Chen family felt unbelievable, the probability was too low, and it happened to their eldest sister, this coincidence made people unbelievable.
"Dad, is it possible that someone has tampered with the vehicle?" Chen Zishan asked hesitantly.
"This still needs to be tested, and before the results are out, don't make too many guesses." Chen Hui shook his head and poked the cigar in his hand into the ashtray non-stop. Yes, the probability of an accident was indeed too low, although he didn't say it out loud, but in his heart, it was as clear as a mirror.
"Our Chen family has always been gentle in business, although we have offended many people, but there shouldn't be any great grudges. Could it be that they are here for something?" Chen Ziyin finally spoke up with her own opinion.
The living room was dead silent, and no one spoke for a long time. For the Chen family, "that thing" was an extremely sensitive topic, and even without outsiders, they rarely discussed it, precisely because they were afraid that leaking it out would bring disaster.
"Our Chen family must find a backer, otherwise, if we go on like this, one day we will be in trouble!" A woman beside Chen Hui broke the silence with some anxiety.
The Chen family is indeed rich and powerful, but they themselves know their own affairs. They have a lot of money, but the underlying current is forced, this is the chronic illness of the Chen family, once it breaks out, the Chen family will possibly fall into an irreparable disaster.
"Zi Ning, what's with Wu Long?" Chen Hui suddenly asked Chen Zi Ning.
Chen Zining's beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, she understood what her father meant by asking this question at this time. Although she felt a little disgusted, she still replied seriously and truthfully: "Wu Long is indeed arrogant by nature, but he is not as ruthless as his father Wu Hong. There is still room for salvation."
It can be seen from this analysis that Chen Zining is not as simple as he appears on the surface, with a mind so meticulous that it's chilling. With just a few words, he thoroughly analyzed Wu Long and Wu Hong. Wu Hong is ruthless and cunning, while Wu Long, although spoiled, is still young and has potential, and can become talented with time.
"That's good, the Wu family has a strong foundation. If we can form an alliance with them, our Chen family will be safe." Chen Hui lit another cigar for himself, and the smoke seemed to calm his mind. Seeing that his daughter did not object, he said: "Set up a family banquet, invite the Wu family over."
