Chapter 149 Maintaining Contact

Li Jin shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Chen, you can't say that. Although the matters you are in charge of seem trivial, you have extensive connections and are well-informed in this position. Lin Wan may be approaching you to take advantage of this. Perhaps she wants to get some information about me from you, or to get to know other influential people through you and use them for the benefit of the forces behind her."

Chen Yu suddenly realized, his brows furrowing and his expression turning serious: "Girl, now that you mention it, it's quite possible. I hadn't paid much attention to it before, since I thought it was just normal friendship. So what do we do now? What exactly is Lin Wan trying to do?"

Li Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, now that we know she might have a problem, you should hold back for now and continue to maintain contact with her, but be careful. See what she wants from you, whether she's contacting anyone else, especially people related to Su's Trading. If anything seems unusual, tell me immediately."

Chen Yu nodded firmly: "Don't worry, girl, I know what to do. I never expected that there were so many shady dealings hidden behind this seemingly simple relationship. I will be careful and make sure she doesn't notice anything."

Li Jin then cautioned, "Brother Chen, this matter is of utmost importance. You must not alert them. I suspect that people from Beijing are involved behind Lin Wan!"

"Beijing?" Chen Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

Li Jin nodded: "Right now, it's just suspicion. I've seen two acquaintances before, one from Beijing, and now Lin Wan, who also came from Beijing, has arrived. This makes me suspicious!" Chen Yu took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I know how serious this is. I'll keep a close eye on Lin Wan's every move. If she's really connected to Beijing, then things are going to get very complicated."

Li Jin's expression was serious. "Yes, the power dynamics in Beijing are complex. If we really get involved, we need to be even more careful. Brother Chen, you come into contact with many people, so could you also keep an eye out for any other suspicious people from Beijing?"

Chen Yu patted his chest and said, "No problem, you can trust me to handle things. I'll just pretend I don't know anything and slowly get information out of her."

Li Jin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chen Yu, and then said, "Brother Chen, there's something else I'd like to ask you. I've heard people mention a particularly powerful figure in Guangzhou called 'Snake Brother,' but I don't know how much you know about him?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, then he slowly said, "Brother Snake, this guy has a reputation in the underworld. He has a wide network of connections and is very well-informed. As long as you can afford the price, he can dig up all sorts of information for you. However, he's quite mysterious and rarely shows his face. His style is also a bit unpredictable. You have to be extra careful when dealing with him, or you might get tricked by him. Girl, are you really planning to ask him for help? He's not a simple character."

Li Jin nodded firmly. "Brother Chen, the situation is urgent, and I really have no other choice. If Brother Snake is really as powerful as you say, perhaps he can help me solve some mysteries. Could you tell me how I can contact him?"

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Contacting Brother Snake isn't easy; it requires a specific intermediary. And you have to prepare a generous reward beforehand, otherwise you won't be able to reach an agreement. Girl, what are you looking for that's so urgent? Can you tell me? Maybe I can find out for you through other channels."

Li Jin sighed and said, "Brother Chen, I want to find out who is bailing Lin Wan out, what forces are working with her against me, and what their relationship is with the people in Beijing. This information is too important for me; I must find out so I can better deal with the situation ahead."

Chen Yu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding. "Alright, girl, since you've made up your mind, I'll help you make the connection. But you must remember, when dealing with Brother Snake, never blindly trust his words. You must carefully consider every clause, or you'll easily fall into a trap. I'll contact the middleman first to see when we can arrange for you to meet."

Li Jin looked at Chen Yu gratefully, "Brother Chen, thank you so much. Don't worry, I'll be careful. I'm leaving this matter to you."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? Mo Ze and I are brothers, and besides, we're business partners!"

After saying that, Chen Yu looked around and then asked, "Oh dear, why haven't I seen my niece today?"

When her daughter was mentioned, Li Jin's somewhat serious expression softened instantly.

"Nianjin is home today, the nanny is watching over her! It's just that it's windy today, so I didn't bring her!"
