Chapter 105 Your wife asked me for a favor again
So many years have passed, making the investigation very difficult. In addition, Lu Wenchang has intentionally erased all traces, making it much more difficult to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Jiang Yimian stood alone on the street, her lowered eyes suddenly brightening.
She took out her phone and called Huo Yun.
It took a long time for the other end to answer, and his voice was raspy: "Hello? What are your instructions, Mrs. Bo?"
Jiang Yimian pursed her lips. "I'd like to trouble you to investigate something for me."
Huo Yun readily agreed, "Sure."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback. "No conditions?"
Huo Yun laughed nonchalantly, "From now on, we're all family. Family doesn't need to be so formal. What do you want to investigate? I'll get it done for you as soon as possible."
Jiang Yimian didn't understand what he meant, but before she could think about it, he said, "I suspect that Lu Wenchang killed my mother, but I have no evidence."
Huo Yun: "Don't worry, we'll find out within a month."
Jiang Yimian looked surprised and astonished. She thought it would take a long time to investigate. It seemed that Huo Yun's influence was indeed great. Otherwise, how could he have investigated so smoothly in a place like Yanjing where he was unfamiliar with people?
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yun immediately called Bo Jinzhou.
He threw down the cards, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and said, "Mr. Bo, your wife is asking me for a favor again."
Inside a high-end residence in Fenglin County, the lights were off, with only neon lights shining in from outside. A tall, slender man sat in a chair, his legs crossed, holding a cell phone in one hand. His dark pupils were unfathomable as he silently stared at Li Lan and her husband kneeling on the ground before him.
Two bodyguards stood behind him. Li Lan looked at the man above her with eyes full of fear, as he was as imposing as a beast lurking in the shadows.
He stood up, put one hand in his pocket, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Although Fenglin County was just an inconspicuous small county, its urban development was in no way inferior to that of second-tier cities.
The shadows outlined his tall, slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his aura icy. "Respond to her first."
"Mr. Bo, why do you sound a bit aggrieved?"
Huo Yun got up from the card table, took the cigar, and lit it.
"If my wife finds out you've taken a liking to Tan Yusu, she'll kill you."
Huo Yun coughed violently, his entire face turning bright red.
"Bo Jinzhou, are you fucking spying on me?"
The man's dark eyes held a half-smile, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. "Now that you've come to my territory, I naturally have to ensure Boss Huo's safety."
The tension between the two suddenly escalated.
Huo Yun spat out his cigar, gritting his teeth: "Does your wife know how insidious you are?"
She won't know.
The man's tone was confident, and Huo Yun suddenly felt annoyed by the arrogant and conceited tone. How could someone be even more arrogant than him?
"I'll go tell your wife right away."
The man remained completely unfazed. "Alright, go ahead. I guarantee you'll never see Tan Yusu again."
Huo Yun narrowed his eyes, his tone sinister and dangerous: "Bo Jinzhou, you should know what the consequences will be if you go against me."
"This is Yanjing, not Hong Kong. This is my territory, and I'm in charge."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a plainclothes policeman entered, gun at the ready. "Don't move, police."
Huo Yun's eyelids twitched violently. "Bo Jinzhou! You fucking slander me."
Bo Jinzhou said in a nonchalant tone, "Boss Huo, don't be angry. It's just a small reminder. It's best to abide by the law in Yanjing."
The police came over and said, "Put your phone down."
Huo Yun smiled wickedly, his eyes fierce, placed his phone on the table, and raised his hand.
His place was reported for organizing gambling, and his small mahjong parlor will be closed for a few days.
Bo Jinzhou turned around and looked down at the two of them condescendingly, "Have you thought it through? If you have, then tell the truth, or don't even think about seeing the child again."
Li Lan's husband cursed, "You beast, you don't even spare the children!"
Bo Jinzhou's patience ran out: "Li Lan, I didn't try to keep my trip to Fenglin a secret. Lu Wenchang already knows where I am. Even if I let you go, do you think he will?"
Li Lan's husband was unaware of the situation, but he understood somewhat from what she said: "Lanlan, just tell me what's wrong, the baby is still here."
Li Lan hesitated for a moment, then covered her face and cried, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that if I do, what will happen to my family?"
"He's ruthless and can even kill his own wife without anyone noticing, let alone people like us, who will only die a more miserable death."
He approached step by step in thin-soled black leather shoes. "I saw you carefully trimming her nails and talking to her in her aunt's hospital room before. You are kind at heart."
"You also know the inside story of her death. Your mental state has been poor all these years because of what happened back then, which kept you up at night."
Li Lan was devastated. "Don't say anything more, I don't know what to do."
“I will arrange for people to protect your family. If you don’t tell, Lu Wenchang’s men will come to silence you the moment I leave.”
"Think it through yourself, who should you choose?"

Tan Yusu hasn't dared to go out lately. She either goes to the theater or stays at home, for fear of being caught by that scoundrel Huo Yun.
She was off work today and was idly playing with the little fish in the fish tank.
Tan Sijin returned from outside, looking exhausted. Tan Yusu greeted him cheerfully, "Brother, you're back from your business trip?"
She jogged forward and held out her hand, "Where's my gift?"
Tan Sijin patted her head. "In the back."
Tan Sijin's assistant came in carrying a gift box, and Tan Yusu immediately ran over, "Let me see what good stuff it is."
Inside were local specialties. Tan Yusu pointed to the two gift boxes in front of her and said, "Brother, I can't finish both of them."
Tan Yusu's light brown pupils flickered. "I remember Mianmian also likes to eat this."
Tan Yusu sensed something was off and looked at him shrewdly: "Brother, how do you remember Mianmian's preferences so clearly?"
Tan Sijin remained unfazed. "You two often eat together, so your tastes are similar."
Su Ming realized that the two of them did indeed share the same interests and had been playing together for so many years, so it was normal for her brother to know.
"Then I'll go find Mianmian."
Tan Sijin: "The day after tomorrow is the Tang family's eldest grandson's one-month celebration. I don't have a female companion, so will you come with me?"
Tan Yusu readily agreed, "Okay."
She got into the red sports car and drove towards the Jiang family's residence.
Jiang Yimian held two meetings this morning, constantly adjusting the plan and coordinating with the planning department for publicity.
My head was spinning, and I hadn't even had time to eat when Tan Yusu arrived, carrying two gift boxes.
"Mianmian, this is a local specialty that my brother brought back from his business trip. It's a sweet and spicy duck."
"I brought one for you too."
Jiang Yimian rubbed her temples. "You eat first, I still have things to do."
Tan Yusu opened the gift box, tore the duck into small pieces, sat closer, and reached out to feed her, "Ah, open your mouth."
Jiang Yimian obediently opened her mouth, and the sweet and spicy flavor was very strong, instantly overwhelming her taste buds. "The taste is so unique."
Tan Yusu stuffed her mouth with food and said, "It's really delicious. No wonder my brother has such a good eye for choosing ingredients."
"By the way, are you going to the Tang family's eldest grandson's one-month celebration the day after tomorrow?"
Jiang Yimian also received an invitation, so naturally she had to go. She would only be attending more and more such parties in the future, and she would need to get involved in them even more.
