Chapter 124: The Invisible Transaction (2)

  Lin Zhiyuan looked at the small, sealed plastic bag in Pei Jincheng's hand, which contained a few strands of fine black hair. On the hair, there were no visible follicles, but he seemed to see the image of a five-year-old boy.

  Clearly visible at first, it suddenly became blurry and then disappeared after becoming blurry.

  He instinctively reached out, and the small bag seemed to have a great magical power, attracting his hand, drawing him to lean in, but just as his palm was about to touch it, Pei Jin Cheng had already put the small bag back into his bag.

  Bai Jincheng felt a slight sense of relief in his heart. For some time now, he had been struggling with himself over how to choose his partner.

  Lin Zhiyuan is a ruthless person with clever means. If you are to be with someone like him, you must be prepared for surprises at every step and everywhere.

  This game of chess, he and Lin Zhiyuan are now in a situation where the white and black pieces are evenly matched, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. However, it is clear that his side is at a disadvantage, if he wants to be on par with Lin Zhiyuan, he must find a piece that can restrain the opponent.

  Qiao Ran's move was unexpected, but also a worrying one for him.

  So when he took out Qiao Ran's photo, he was thinking about what kind of expression Lin Zhiyuan would have.

  A woman who has been dead for six years, after six years of time, is a faded green apple, at first glance it's no longer crisp, but starts to ripen, with a smooth and red color, the smile in her eyebrows and eyes can dissolve hatred.

  When Lin Zhiyuan saw Qiao Ran like this, what kind of expression would he have? Although the former Qiao Ran was not called Qiao Ran.

  He was satisfied to see Lin Zhiyuan's panic and confusion, so before the other party could calm down in an instant, he brought up the five-year-old child and took out the hair.

  He once again saw the unmistakable hope in Lin Zhiyuan's eyes and decided to stop there, putting away his curiosity.

  "Lin, I think it's better to give this thing to you in a few days. I don't want to stir up any trouble now. Lately, both mother and son need a quiet environment."

  Lin Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly sank, his voice rose several degrees, and he was clearly angry. "What do you mean?!" He felt like he had been played, Pei Jincheng was deliberately setting him up, deliberately luring him into the game, deliberately creating a situation that made him show a flustered emotion, an uncontrollable flustered emotion.

  Pei Jin Cheng looked at Lin Zhi Yuan, whose emotions were changing rapidly. This young and promising city party secretary, who was known for his gentle and elegant demeanor in public, had a reputation for being handsome, having a strong sense of justice, and being highly disciplined in his personal life, with no flaws to be found. His future prospects were boundless.

  But such a person, in front of him, there are flurried, disordered, angry and fierce glints. Such a multifaceted life, it turns out that the municipal party secretary also has one, it seems he is someone who knows a lot.

  Pei Jin Cheng smiled to himself, but his face still wore a thoughtful and worried expression. "Xiao Bao needs to have heart surgery, so no matter what the outcome is, I don't want anything to happen during the operation. I hope you can understand this, after all, she's my friend Pei Jin Cheng, I shouldn't affect their living environment, right?"

  "Xiao Bao? Heart surgery?" Lin Zhiyuan's breath caught, Xiao Bao? The child in the small bag with hair? What about heart surgery? Wasn't he only five years old? What kind of heart surgery would he need? He thought his own heart was strong enough, but after hearing Pei Jincheng's few words, his left chest had already begun to flutter.

  The dishes on the table had gone cold, and no one was pouring wine anymore. The originally sumptuous dinner now looked like a leftover mess. Pei Jin Cheng nodded, "She has congenital heart disease, so she can't engage in intense exercise. That's why every day she keeps an eye on Xiaobao, afraid that Xiaobao will get tired from playing, especially with projects that are high-intensity and put a lot of strain on the heart. She told me that she really wants Xiaobao to have fun, and on rest days, she wants to spend more time with Xiaobao, but at the same time, she's also afraid that Xiaobao's body can't handle it."

  "You don't have to joke with me like that." Lin Zhiyuan's face was full of incredulity, but his eyes were deeply convinced. He knew how many people wanted to catch him off guard and how many people wanted to win him over, but he was a person who, even if he was being won over, would still look at the other party's strength. The Pei family, they were worthy of his consideration.

  But even if he could see it, he couldn't let others lead him by the nose. Pei Jin Cheng is now eager to get that piece of land by the sea, which is a good opportunity to negotiate conditions.

  But his condition has not been put forward yet, and the other side has already restricted him.

  He had confirmed six years ago that Shen You Ran was already dead, died in the fire scene, when people were dragged out, they were already charred, he didn't believe it and even found someone to verify the DNA.

  It's been six years, how can there be no change at all? Still standing there as calm as water, her eyes seem even more peaceful. If Shen You Ran were still alive, how could her eyes be so peaceful and serene?

  This woman must have had plastic surgery, made to look exactly like Shen You Ran. Pei Jin Cheng investigated his past in order to restrain him and created this woman to get that piece of land by the sea.

  What's wrong with the child?

  He doesn't believe it!

  But his heart was suddenly pulled back by another force, pulling him in another direction. If it wasn't for Shen You Ran, if that child had nothing to do with him, why would Pei Jin Cheng take out that bag and wave it in front of him?

  Some lies will always be exposed. With his current status and strength, without the support of the Pei family's military and political power, Pei Jincheng would never use such extreme means to deceive him for a piece of land by the sea. He believed that someone like Pei Jincheng wouldn't be foolish to this extent.

  Temporary benefits will bring disaster to the entire Pei family!

  His contradictions and loss of composure all fell into Pei Jin Cheng's eyes.

  Pei Jin Cheng's face showed a helpless expression of being misunderstood, and he sighed, "Then let Lin think I was just joking. How about we find another place to sit tonight and I'll apologize to you?"

  Lin Zhiyuan's hand now only held one photo, the others had been thrown all over the table by him. His empty hand was clenched into a fist and pressed against his forehead, rubbing it before letting out a deep sigh. "Take me to see her."

  "Not now," said Pei Jin Cheng firmly.

  Lin Zhiyuan almost jumped up, his eyes wide with surprise, "Why not?"

  Pei Jin Cheng's attitude was also firm and didn't yield in the slightest, "Wait until Xiao Bao finishes his surgery!"

  "Is she a single mother?" Lin Zhiyuan calmly paused for a moment, putting the photo under the table. The tablecloth on the surface covered his hand that was trembling violently while holding the photo.

  "Yes, one person brought a son who was born with heart disease."

  "Did you help her?"

  "I said she's my friend."

  "That piece of land by the sea, I'll think of a way as soon as possible, but I have to see her, now!"

  Pei Jin's eyes narrowed, not expecting Lin Zhiyuan to agree so quickly. Just now, he was not 100% sure that Qiao Ran's move could restrain Lin Zhiyuan. A person's weakness, especially someone like Lin Zhiyuan who could be ruthless to himself, all for a woman? He didn't believe it.

  "Lin, this matter is not about me trying to brush you off. She's not convenient to see you right now, neither she nor Xiaobao can have their emotions affected at the moment. That child is very lovely, I think you also hope he can safely go through this surgery. The doctor is the most authoritative one I've invited from abroad, but the surgery still has risks. She's under a lot of pressure preparing for it right now. Think about it yourself, are you suitable to see her at this time?"

  Lin Zhiyuan's eyes wavered, and his eyebrows furrowed in waves. He couldn't suppress the emotions that were welling up inside him now. From Pei Jin Cheng, he pulled out a stack of photos. After glancing at them briefly, he tried to hold back his emotions, but the more he looked, the more he couldn't bear it.

  He didn't know how good the relationship between Pei Jin Cheng and Shen You Ran was, but he knew what Pei Jin Cheng wanted now. No matter how good it was, the conditions he offered now were all tempting to Pei Jin Cheng.

  Pei Jin Cheng refused again and again, indicating that he already had 100% confidence in this matter. He still didn't understand it clearly, so he couldn't threaten Pei Jin Cheng. But if he was told to go back now and wait for news, it would be a kind of torture.

  Shen You Ran, this woman who had disappeared from household registration records, suddenly appeared again in such a way that he was caught off guard!

  Don't mention Shen You Ran, just one child who needs heart surgery is enough to make his blood flow backwards. He wants to go and see if Shen You Ran is really Shen You Ran. He only needs to take a look, he can recognize him at a glance. If someone tries to deceive him, it's impossible! He doesn't want to wait for this kind of thing!

  That woman, he wanted to see what that big fire had burned her into! After being burned to charcoal, was her heart also charred black?

  His eyes became increasingly sharp, and the conditions were gradually increased. It was like a lavish gamble that didn't care about the cost. "In another way, that piece of land by the sea, I'll go to the military district tonight to find Old Chief, this matter, tomorrow afternoon will give you an answer, but tomorrow noon, I want to see her! Must see her! No need to meet in person."

  Meeting without meeting? Looking from afar?

  Pei Jin Cheng hesitated for a moment, he didn't want Qiao Ran to leave the Pei residence, but at the same time, he didn't want Lin Zhiyuan to know that Qiao Ran was living in the Pei residence. What could be done about this?

  Lin Zhiyuan slapped the table, and the cups, saucers, and plates on it made a loud noise. He stood up abruptly, his voice firm and powerful, "I'm going to the military district right now to find Old Chief! I'll get an answer from him by midnight tonight. If that piece of land by the sea is no longer used for military purposes, then I must see her tomorrow at noon!"

  Pei Jin's heart was still reeling, knowing that hitting the snake at seven inches was just right, and going too far would only have the opposite effect. Anyway, his purpose had been achieved, and both parties should take a reassurance pill. He slowly stood up, "Good."

  Everyone, see you tomorrow, goodnight.
