Thirty-five feathers

The car sped all the way back to East City. The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, leaving afterimages flashing backwards.

Ye Linghan's head was a little dizzy. He rested his head on Yin Chen's legs again, wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his head in his abdomen, and absorbed the fragrance from his body.

When he was carsick, a lot of information flooded into his mind, but he had no solution and no way to verify it.

This road is much more difficult than he imagined, but for the sake of the truth, he must persevere.

"Achen, can you do me a favor?" His head was buried deep, so his voice was muffled.

"Okay, go ahead." It was a rare occasion that Yin Chen didn't deal with official business. His fingers moved back and forth on the person in his arms. After all, with such a big person lying on his legs, he had no time to think about anything else.

He buried his fingertips in Ye Linghan's thick hair, stroking his soft hair one by one.

In order to speak more conveniently, Ye Linghan moved his body and changed to a more comfortable angle. Yin Chen was afraid that he would fall, so he put one hand around his waist to protect him.

"Can you help me check on the director's wife?"

Ye Linghan knew Yin Chen's methods. As long as he wanted to know, there was nothing he couldn't know. Moreover, as the future heir of the blood clan, no one would refuse him a favor, so asking him for information was faster and easier than waiting for feedback from the police station.

Moreover, the person he wanted to investigate was the director's wife, and if he went through proper channels, the tug-of-war would probably last a long time.

Even if the other party agrees to the cooperation request, no one will easily compromise when it comes to family members. People in high positions often want to protect things or people that are more difficult for ordinary people to reach, and they will try their best to protect them because it is profitable.

Ye Linghan didn't know the director's character, so he didn't dare to think highly of him. No one could guarantee which of his words were true and which were false, including what he and Liao Xihe said. There was no guarantee whether they were sincere.

Yin Chen did not stop moving his hands, listening to the other party's request, and put his other hand on Ye Linghan's waist, stroking his soft and thin skin.

Of course he would help, but he is a capitalist at heart and will never do anything at a loss.

"Yeah." Yin Chen spoke slowly and agreed to Ye Linghan's request.

Ye Linghan opened his eyes, a glint of joy flashing across his face. But before he could express his gratitude, Yin Chen continued, "But if you're willing to pay me, I can tell you something right now."

He knew it! He was just about to be secretly happy that Yin Chen didn't use that excuse of "borrowing must be returned" again, but in the end, he really couldn't escape that annoying businessman's face!

Ye Linghan suddenly sat up, furious like a wolf cub with its fur standing on end. He half-knelt on the seat, pressed forward, and put his forearm against Yin Chen's throat, pretending to be dissatisfied. His eyes seemed to turn into flames, facing the ice, and he looked down at the person in front of him.

"Yin Chen! Be a human being, do you want to tire me to death?"

Yin Chen didn't get his reward for several times. Ye Linghan knew that he was saving it and would only ask for it when he could fully accept it.

Yin Chen was forced to raise his head and lean back on the chair, exposing his snow-white neck and showing the softest part to Ye Linghan, the only person who could indulge him like this.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He reached out and suddenly grabbed Ye Linghan's thigh, pulling him forward.

The car happened to be passing through a bumpy section and the body of the car was shaking violently. Because the seat was narrow, Ye Linghan's center of gravity was unstable when he was on one leg, so he had to fall forward. However, he was afraid of pressing on Yin Chen's fragile neck, so he let go and supported himself on the back of the chair instead.

One of his legs was forced forward and stuck between Yin Chen's legs, and then Yin Chen's hand wrapped around his thigh, making him unable to move.

Before he could react, Yin Chen grabbed one of his legs and leaned forward, forcing Ye Linghan's waist to suddenly hang in the air, forcing his body to lean back.

He did not support Ye Linghan's waist, but instead pinched his chin with his other hand with just the right amount of strength.

"Yin Chen you!" Ye Linghan exclaimed. In order to prevent himself from falling, he could only reach out and wrap his arms around Yin Chen's neck to barely stabilize his body.

In the cramped back row, two big men with an average height of nearly 1.9 meters were stacked together, making it particularly crowded.

Yin Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled provocatively, "What's wrong with me? You said I'm not a human, but I'm not one anyway."

Damn it!

Ye Linghan only felt his temples throbbing.

A true barefoot person is not afraid of those who wear shoes, and a gangster is not afraid of a lustful person.

Being lustful is just a thought, but being a hooligan can really do it!

Yin Chen pulled Ye Linghan closer to him and nuzzled his chin. "I haven't even told you what the reward is, why are you so excited?"

Then he made an expression of sudden enlightenment and asked, "Could it be that you are thinking about that thing?"

"What this thing, what that thing, it's not happening!" Ye Linghan blurted out, trying to cover it up.

If the other party had not controlled the strength very precisely, he really wanted to use the force to bite the bad man in front of him.

He really hated himself from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to kill himself, but when facing Yin Chen, he still lost. He avoided the other person's eyes and didn't dare to look at him at all.

"Baby, your eyes betray you, and you still say you don't want it?"

"I originally wanted you to treat me to a meal, but since you want it so much, I'll grant your wish." Yin Chen said in a nonchalant and lazy voice.

His two fingers vaguely pinched Ye Linghan's earlobe with a small mole and rubbed it up and down. He knew that the other person was very sensitive there and would not be able to bear it, so his fingertips were particularly naughty when they passed through it.

Ye Linghan felt itchy inside.

"I…"

There was really no way to refute it, he just wanted to.

It's like a kitten seeing a basket full of fish. It obviously wants to eat some, but is afraid of being discovered so it restrains itself. However, it can't control its instinct and greed, and tries to secretly hook the fish with its claws, thinking that no one will notice. But in the end, it looks like a clever trick in the eyes of others.

The driver had already raised the front partition, and the space in the back belonged to only the two of them.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Ye Linghan hurriedly changed the subject. He patted Yin Chen's shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to dinner then. You can have whatever you want." He hurriedly promised and then continued, "So, can you tell me some information about the director's wife?"

Yin Chen calmly supported Ye Linghan's waist, pressed him down so that he sat on his legs, and then locked him firmly in front of him with one hand.

The posture is very ambiguous and the distance between them is very close.

"Didn't Zhao Tang tell you?"

"What?"

Ye Linghan was puzzled. He didn't expect that this matter was related to Zhao Tang.

Yin Chen understood, "It seems he may not know either. The person you are talking about is called Jiang Wanru, the senior sister of the Research Department they call her."

What?

Ye Linghan widened his eyes in astonishment. He had never expected or thought of connecting the two identities of the director's wife and the senior sister together.

Although he didn't know the senior sister's name before, he knew that her surname was Jiang and she was a lecturer in Zhao Tang's major at Dongda University, the university he attended. As for why he knew something about her, it was because he had accompanied Zhao Tang to a public class, so he had some impression of her.

But because it was not her major and the teacher did not mention her name in that class, Ye Linghan did not know Jiang Wanru's real name.

The knowledge taught in school for this major is not in-depth, but just superficial, because it is more for attracting capable students to study the subject and then give secret explanations.

"But I only found out about this recently." Yin Chen said lightly.

No wonder he was so calm from beginning to end. It turned out that he had known it for a long time, and then he accompanied me to listen to Wang Deluo's long-winded story again.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? And why did you investigate her?" If he had something to ask of Yin Chen today, then it would be reasonable for him to investigate, but he had never mentioned it before, so why would he find out in advance.

Yin Chen smiled. "If I had told you earlier, it would have affected your judgment. Everyone is different. Even the same person can have different attitudes towards different people. We have no grudges against each other. I will only state what I heard. However, what Zhao Xingjian heard and felt was different from mine. What he told Wang De would naturally be mixed with personal feelings. Then when Wang De relayed it to you, it would have a different feeling."

"Besides, I don't want to interfere too much with your judgment. As for why I investigated her, the reason is very simple. As early as the first time I saw Liao Xihe, I had already asked someone to investigate. I have to understand the people around me."

This is his inevitable course of action.

Ye Linghan lowered his eyes.

Indeed, given Yin Chen's position, even if he is capable enough and almost no one can hurt him, there will still be a lot of people eyeing him, coveting his status and position and wanting to replace him.

It is very cold at the top, but this is something he must experience with his status, and I will definitely accompany him to feel the biting coldness of the top of the mountain together.

A few days after returning to the Investigation Bureau, all work was carried out step by step. Liao Xihe accompanied Su Mo and escorted Wang De back to the police station for detention. At the same time, he had a detailed discussion with the director on further matters.

Yao Qingluan received a message from the police station's inspection department, saying that the evidence they had previously sent had been accelerated due to the cooperation between the two parties, and asked her to go and pick it up.

Ye Linghan chose a day when his companions were not around and left the Investigation Bureau and went to the underground casino.

It was noon and the sun was at its brightest, but it was still bitterly cold inside.

Because it was a weekday, Xu Zilian was not there and only his father was guarding the place.

"Uncle Xu."

"Hey! How come Xiaoye has time to come here?" Xu Hong hurried out to greet him.

"I need to borrow a gun from you."

The guns in the casino are all purchased from the black market, and some are kept there by rich and dissolute young men.

If someone comes to the boss to borrow money, then of course he cannot give it to them. Originally, because of the protection of the rich, the higher-ups turned a blind eye to it. But if someone dies because of the forced loan, then he will inevitably be in trouble.

But Ye Linghan was different. The boss trusted him very much and believed that he was capable of solving the problem, so he agreed without saying a word.

He opened the safe at the bottom of the front desk, took out a pistol and a full magazine, and handed it to Ye Linghan.

"Thank you." After taking it, Ye Linghan pressed the magazine and stuck it on the belt at the back of his waist.

After returning to the investigation office, he deliberately changed into a set of clothes that looked very casual. He wore a dark gray short-sleeved shirt and overalls, which had the charm of a campus boy.

He took a taxi and told the place name, and soon arrived at his destination.

Standing in front of the gate of Tokyo University, I couldn't help but sigh that I haven't set foot here for a long time. I suddenly visited here today and I didn't know what the scene would be like.

He had already inquired about Jiang Wanru's class schedule on the school's confession wall. She didn't have many courses and few people took them. Ye Linghan calculated the time and came to school.

The class started at 1:30, and at 1:15, no one started arriving in the classroom. Because the entire tiered classroom could not be filled, most students would arrive on time. Ye Linghan sat alone in the corner of the last row. Because wearing a hat was too conspicuous and impolite, he only wore a mask that he had prepared in advance.

At 1:25, people started to come into the classroom. The students all noticed Ye Linghan sitting in the back row. When each of them came in, they looked at him with unusual eyes, and then whispered to their friends around them, but that was all. No one did anything else.

At 1:28, Jiang Wanru walked into the classroom carrying a computer bag. She glanced around casually. Ye Linghan was far away from the others, so he looked very abrupt. However, Jiang Wanru's gaze did not linger on him at all. She just glanced at him, then calmly and skillfully connected the computer and opened the courseware.

The large screen lit up, and as the computer startup prelude sound ended, the homepage content of the PPT courseware - genes - appeared on the screen.
