In the southwestern corner of Binhai University, there is a residential area composed entirely of townhouses, known as the university's expert residential area.
The upper floor of townhouse number 45 is Chen Shi's ho.
In the afternoon, An Kexin arrived early to attend a family dinner at Chen Shi's ho, welcoming her cousin Chen Fanzhi back to the country for developnt.
Entering the house and seeing the tall and handso Chen Fanzhi, An Kexin joyously said, "Cousin, welco back. My dad is discussing sothing with an important guest and won't be able to co until later."
Chen Fanzhi also smiled and said, "Kexin, you haven't changed at all, still so beautiful. I brought you a gift from abroad; you can pick it up in the room later."
He curiously asked, "Where's Keng? Does she still dislike her cousin and doesn't want to see ?"
An Kexin laughed and said, "Thank you, cousin! Keng went on vacation to the south with a friend. My dad and I are busy this Spring Festival and have no ti to accompany her, so we asked a friend to take her out to have fun."
Not hearing any bustling from the kitchen, she quietly asked, "Where's auntie? You don't know how often she thinks of you!"
Chen Fanzhi lowered his voice, pointed upstairs, and said, "Don't ntion it, the matriarch is angry in her room!"
An Kexin also whispered, "Why? Is it because you didn't bring back a girlfriend?"
"Mother should be relieved that I didn't bring back a blue-eyed, fair-skinned foreign girl."
Chen Fanzhi glanced upstairs, noticing no unexpected movent, and continued, "To adjust my jet lag, I slept for one night. Today, Mother and I discussed my intention to move out for future work and personal interactions."
"This ti, I really angered my mother; she hasn't spoken to since."
An Kexin smothered a laugh and said, "No wonder auntie is upset; she longed for you to return, and you're already thinking about moving out. You should have stayed a few months before ntioning it."
Chen Fanzhi wore a troubled expression and said, "Kexin, I'm already thirty years old and still living with my parents. How embarrassing is that?"
"Moreover, once work gets busy, it will be day and night, disturbing my parents' rest wouldn't be good. Living at ho, it's not convenient to gather with a few friends."
Chen Fanzhi wore a pleasing expression, folded his hands, and said, "Kexin, could you help persuade her!"
An Kexin thought for a mont and said, "Hmm, I will put in a good word for you at the right ti."
"Thank you!" Chen Fanzhi continued, "There's another thing I need to trouble you with!"
"The house that was earlier prepared for has been rented out. It's almost New Year's, so it's not good to drive people out, and mainly the house is a bit cramped."
"Kexin, could you let stay in your Xiangtai Apartnt? It would be even better if you could transfer it to ."
An Kexin was montarily stunned and said, "Cousin, didn't uncle tell you? That apartnt has already been transferred to Lin Jie!"
"Who? That Lin Jie?"
Seeing An Kexin nodding in confirmation, Chen Fanzhi furrowed his brows tightly and said unhappily, "So it was that apartnt given to him!"
"Kexin, not that I'm judging you or uncle, but you're too generous!"
"The market value of that apartnt is at least five or six million US Dollars; that's more than enough to hire three to five senior doctors from well-known US hospitals!"
"No matter how talented Lin Jie is, he's still unfinished, cases of talent being wasted are everywhere."
Chen Fanzhi beca angrier the more he spoke, "Moreover, I also heard he's a heart transplant recipient and it's uncertain how long he can live."
"You really... you really... have too much money to spend, right?"
An Kexin's face turned cold and she said, "Cousin, you seem completely unaware of many details, so don't make judgnts easily."
"Furthermore, how my father and I act, be it true or just spending money frivolously, you have no right to comnt..."
At this mont, a woman's figure appeared at the staircase on the second floor, happily shouting, "Kexin is here..."
Lin Jie, who triggered the argunt between An Kexin and Chen Fanzhi, was currently in an unused office at the resort hotel.
In the center of the office, there was a solid wood chair with a young woman tied to it.
Lin Jie observed the woman bound to the chair in a five-flower knot fashion.
Although she had so bruises on her face, her oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, and small nose made her attractive, scoring over eighty in terms of looks.
Along with this figure...
The one who bound her apparently watched many romantic action films, tying her skillfully, highlighting the protruding parts and keeping what's slender, slender...
In short, with her looks and figure, she could have had a good life, but she chose a tough path relying on her "skills" to earn a living, making Lin Jie sigh.
Standing opposite her, Lin Jie softly said, "Your ID says your na is Miao Yu; this may not be your real na, but I'll call you that."
"Miao Yu, when you first saw , I noticed a look of surprise on your face, which shows you rember ."
"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point."
He pointed to the back of his left hand, where no scars could be seen, and said: "I want to know who made you cut and take my blood."
Miao Yu lowered her eyes and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"As you can see, I'm just a thief. I intended to cut open your pocket but accidentally cut your hand; no one asked to take your blood. Besides, is your blood even valuable?"
Lin Jie chuckled lightly and sarcastically said, "Is that really so? I don't ask this without reason."
"Actually, I don't necessarily need to know who's behind it. It's just a coincidence encountering you now, and I want to genuinely understand the situation."
Thinking of Su Xiaohui's situation, he threatened, "Miao Yu, you may know, such a big project like the resort, the boss here might not be from the underground world, but they definitely know people from the underground."
"For soone like you caught in this situation, before being sent to the police station, they might 'entertain' you thoroughly."
At this point, Lin Jie noticed Miao Yu's breathing beco sowhat heavy, implying hope, and seductively said, "I might help you this ti if you tell the truth!"
Miao Yu exhaled deeply, slowly shook her head, and said, "I would like to make a deal too, but it was truly by accident when I cut you, with no other reason."
Seeing her persist, Lin Jie beca slightly frustrated, darkened his face, and threatened, "You may not know, but I have extensive dical knowledge and understanding of human anatomy beyond the typical person."
He viciously said, "I can easily make you wish you were dead, unable to live, unable to die!"
Miao Yu sneered lightly, closed her eyes, and simply ignored Lin Jie.
Infuriated, Lin Jie desired to use his lifelong skills to teach Miao Yu a lesson that even Lord Ma has three eyes.
Staying in the room for a while, Lin Jie, knowing he lacked interrogation skills and couldn't bear to torture, had to give up and left the room in disappointnt.
Opening the door, Zheng Guodong, waiting outside, leaned over and asked, "Mr. Lin, did you get any answers?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No, her lips are sealed tight; I got nothing!"
Zheng Guodong chuckled, flexed his arms and fists, and said, "Want to help? A few punches, and she'll say whatever you tell her!"
"No, no!"
Lin Jie quickly declined, "It's nothing serious, I don't need to know. So, how do you plan to handle this? Send her directly to the police?"
Zheng Guodong replied righteously, "Yes, typically we first recover all stolen goods and return them to the guests, inquire if there are accomplices, and finally hand her over to the police."
Lin Jie felt he wasn't being entirely honest, but since it was not his concern, he didn't probe further...
