"It’s hidden enough," Shi i patted the pillar, "the owner of such an old house generally wouldn’t be willing to rent it out for living, right?"
"Yeah, but because they needed money, I gave them so and told them I wouldn’t co often. Then I essentially took it over," Gao Lian tapped off so ash, "Have a seat, there’s water and coffee, you can drink sothing."
Then Gao Lian sat down and looked at Shi i, "What’s with this look?"
Shi i then rembered that she hadn’t taken off her mask.
Gao Lian asked again, "Wasn’t there a bar singer recently, called Senior Sister, was that you?"
"It was ," Shi i took off her mask, her expression calm, "What did you call us here for?"
"What else, just to catch up," Gao Lian smoked, an expression of great surprise on his face, "Everyone says Senior Sister is exceptionally talented. I didn’t expect you to be so close to , hidden so deeply! There are quite a few fans of Tang Wu in our station, saying you are just like a replica of Tang Wu, even the temperant is exactly the sa. Once this case is cracked, you can co with to the station, those young cops will definitely ask you for an autograph."
Shi i smiled, "Even you police officers chase celebrities?"
"I’m not really interested in that, but it feels quite novel when the star is right beside you," Gao Lian put out his cigarette, "By the way, did you know, Bai Yuejie’s mother, ng Yue, is the sister of our Director, and has now been taken to his ho. Our Director wants her to divorce Bai Zhengyuan."
"Divorce?" Shi i felt very surprised, recalling that Bai Zhengyuan and ng Yue had always been very loving, treating each other with deep respect and never arguing.
And Bai Zhengyuan was extrely compliant to ng Yue, and similarly, he depended greatly on his wife.
It was said that when the Bai Family faced bankruptcy, it was ng who helped out, and through ng Yue’s clever ways, the Bai Family survived that potentially fatal crisis.
In the following decades, ng Yue often provided Bai Zhengyuan with many constructive suggestions, which helped the Bai Family beco the wealthiest in Yan City.
But now such a couple was going to divorce, which surprised Shi i.
Gao Lian nodded, "Bai Yuejie is not ng Yue’s daughter, but the daughter of Bai Zhengyuan and his first love. ng Yue has been crying like a tearful person these past few days, and she has agreed to the divorce. Our Director ng now suspects that her biological daughter might not be dead, and has started investigating recently. But Director ng has too much on his plate recently, and can’t follow up on everything. I’ve heard Mr. Shi has quite a network. If you could help, it would speed up the progress of this case."
Shi Lingyan nodded, "Aunt Bai has always been kind to since I was young. Both emotionally and logically, I’ll help, don’t worry."
Gao Lian breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "This isn’t just about helping the Director’s sister find her niece, it also helps your case. As soon as we can loosen things up with ng Yue, it’ll be much easier to penetrate the Bai Family’s inner circle."
"Penetrate the inner circle?"
Gao Lian nodded, "We’ve tested it a little. ng Yue knows nothing about Bai Yuejie changing hearts and coveting other people’s hearts. We suspect that Bai Zhengyuan is doing this behind ng Yue’s back, and he is in contact with an assassin organization, and the leader of the assassin organization clearly has another identity, we suspect..."
