Capítulo 894: Chapter 894: The Connection Between the Two
Hotel.
Zhou Zhao draped a towel over his shoulder and walked out with a bath towel around his waist.
“This hotel is nice, the jacuzzi is so comfortable, Brother Chen really splurged.”
Chen Jin put down his phone and looked up to see the surgical scars on Zhou Jin’s abdon.
“Is the wound healing better? This hotel uses hot spring water, which helps alleviate physical injuries.”
“After rehabilitation training, I’m pretty much fully mobile again. You don’t need to worry about . Since we’re in this line of work, injuries are inevitable.”
Zhou Zhao pulled the towel over to cover his scars.
Chen Jin nodded, “Alright, then rest early. If you get hungry, just call the front desk and ask them to send you sothing to eat.”
Having said that, he stood up, ready to leave.
Zhou Zhao reached out and stopped him, “That jacuzzi is really nice. You might as well take a bath before heading back since you’ve already spent the money.”
Chen Jin directly saw through him, “Got sothing to say?”
Zhou Zhao sat on the sofa, spreading his arms over the backrest.
“I took annual leave to co here… for fun.”
Chen Jin turned around to look at him.
A few seconds later, he unfastened his watch.
“Get the front desk to send us so drinks.”
“No problem.”
Zhou Zhao stood up to make the call.
By the ti Chen Jin finished his bath and ca out, Zhou Zhao had already chilled the wine.
He handed a glass to Chen Jin.
While drinking, he slightly tilted his head back, but his eyes remained fixed on Chen Jin’s face.
A clear and handso face, with dark circles under the eyes showing fatigue.
“Still so tired after a bath? Did Third Young Master really work you like a horse?” Zhou Zhao teased.
“It only seems calm. I have sothing to do after finishing this drink,” Chen Jin rubbed the corner of his eye.
“I rarely co here, are you really not going to keep company?”
“Let’s have dinner with them tomorrow. I’ll make a reservation at that hotpot place you like,” Chen Jin suggested.
Zhou Zhao clicked his tongue and pulled out a stack of docunts from under the couch cushion.
When Chen Jin took them, the papers still retained the residual warmth of the printer.
He glanced at the contents, then imdiately looked up at Zhou Zhao.
“On the way here, I asked so people to investigate. It was Third Young Master who asked you to look into this person called Lin Fan, right?”
“You found it out? So fast?” Chen Jin was amazed.
“Used a few little tricks.”
Zhou Zhao signaled with his hand.
Chen Jin had previously heard from Sang Li that Zhou Zhao had gone astray during his rebellious phase.
He knew a variety of people.
Mr. Sang couldn’t bear to let him ruin his life, so he arranged for him to work with Sang Li.
The ‘small tricks’ he ntioned were probably related to those people.
Chen Jin frowned, “You…”
Zhou Zhao reassured, “Don’t worry, I only spent so of my own money. Lin Fan is a professional con artist and will inevitably deal with those kinds of people. His sudden appearance in Jing City is obviously intentional, so his past in Jing City will inevitably be erased, but not necessarily his tracks elsewhere.”
“Lin Fan once conned a woman in Hai City but happened to hit a hard wall. The brother of one of these won is involved in the underworld.”
“They gave Lin Fan a harsh beating, during which he revealed that he was using the money he scamd for overseas investnts.”
Chen Jin listened while analyzing the information on the docunts.
He soon noticed a few familiar words.
“The Bai Family.”
“Yes, coming full circle, the world is quite round, a con artist getting conned by another con artist,” Zhou Zhao explained.
Chen Jin continued reading, his heart sinking as he looked at the words on the paper.
“Lin Fan went abroad.”
“Yes, because he still owed that woman money. Her brother kept a close eye on him and found out when he ca to Jing City, Lin Fan had already left for overseas with the Bai Family, claiming to have invested in a large company in Southeast Asia, and has since vanished without a trace.”
Afterwards, there was no sign of Lin Fan.
Combining this with the Bai Family’s so-called overseas business, it seed Lin Fan had found an organization to belong to.
However…
Chen Jin stared at the docunts, “If it’s related to the Bai Family, Yang Jingwei should have t him over the years, but what happened exactly only they would know.”
“Not necessarily, don’t the Bai father and son know?” Zhou Zhao reminded.
“Even if they know, they wouldn’t tell us. I’ll notify Third Young Master first.”
Chen Jin photographed the key points in the docunts and sent them to Gong Chen.
However, Gong Chen didn’t reply to the ssage.
After all, today was also his wedding night.
“I’m leaving.” Chen Jin stood up.
“Using and then leaving, huh?” Zhou Zhao squinted at him.
Chen Jin lowered his gaze and smiled.
“Zhou Zhao, so things just need to be said directly.”
“Get lost, get lost, get lost…”
“Are we having a late-night snack or not?”
“We are. I’ll eat you broke.”
…
The next day.
Lin Zhiyi went to the studio as usual.
But today, Gong Chen was personally dropping her off.
“Why are you driving? Where’s Assistant Chen?” Lin Zhiyi asked, looking at Gong Chen driving.
“On sick leave.”
“Huh?” Lin Zhiyi said in surprise, “What’s wrong? Is he feeling unwell?”
“Check your social dia monts.”
Gong Chen reminded.
Lin Zhiyi refreshed her social dia and saw the photo Chen Jin posted early that morning.
Sunrise over the mountains.
“Impressive stamina, climbing a mountain at dawn to watch the sunrise.”
“Huh? Why are there two shadows on the ground?”
“Oh, I get it now, they really have free spirits.”
Gong Chen sighed and said, “Both drank too much and went to climb a mountain, even napped on the mountain top, no wonder they got sick.”
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and chuckled quietly.
“No need to guess, this must have been Zhou Zhao’s sudden idea. Even soone as serious as Assistant Chen could partake in such nonsense.”
“Chen Jin also needs to relax a bit,” Gong Chen said casually.
Lin Zhiyi turned her head to look at him, glancing at his hand gripping the steering wheel.
A married man wearing a wedding ring driving his wife to work, it’s a different feeling.
It even adds a bit more human warmth.
She changed the topic, “So, after dropping off, are you going to the company yourself?”
Gong Chen thought for a mont, then said, “No, I plan to visit the art gallery.”
“The art gallery? The one where the Bai Family incident happened last ti?”
“Yes.”
“Why?” Lin Zhiyi asked, puzzled.
Regarding this matter, Gong Chen did not hide anything from Lin Zhiyi.
“The lawyer who t with Yang Jingwei made a special visit to the art gallery; it’s definitely not a coincidence.”
ntioning Yang Jingwei, Lin Zhiyi’s expression turned cautious.
“I should go too, after all, I can be considered as soone involved in this, maybe I can help you.”
She looked earnestly at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen imdiately changed direction.
Lin Zhiyi smiled and made a call to her assistant.
Currently, the operations at the studio were running smoothly, and there wasn’t a need to worry even if Lin Zhiyi wasn’t present.
…
Art gallery.
Since the Bai Family incident, the art gallery had been closed for over a month.
Even now, only the public area on the first floor was open.
The upper floors were still sealed off.
Gong Chen had already spoken to the new curator, who ca directly to receive them.
“Third Young Master, you’re here, co to the office and have a seat.”
“Sure.”
Lin Zhiyi followed them into the office, cautiously observing the new curator.
His appearance was average, and he spoke very gently.
“Third Young Master, what would you like to ask?” the curator inquired.
“Has this lawyer been here?”
Gong Chen showed a photo.
The curator examined it carefully.
“Hmm… I don’t recall. Usually, when soone cos to the gallery, I’d make a note.”
The curator shook his head.
Gong Chen watched his micro-expressions and confird that he wasn’t lying.
Thus, the lawyer’s visit to the art gallery wasn’t aid at the curator.
On the way over, Lin Zhiyi had heard from Gong Chen about their purpose for this visit.
The fact that Yang Jingwei’s lawyer specifically visited such a peculiar art gallery surely indicated a problem.
