Over here, Zhou Chunhua and Gu Yao were eating and talking about what had happened that afternoon.
She told Gu Yao everything about her meeting with Wang Lin and her encounter with Liao Nanxing.
Gu Yao listened quietly without saying a word.
"And then? Do you need to go find other people?" she asked.
Gu Yao shook his head: "No need. Wang Lin is a very key figure in this matter."
"So you mean we just need to wait for Wang Lin to bring the things?"
"Yes. But I received a call today saying that Zhang Bo wants to see us. Will you come with me tomorrow morning?"
"It's not me going with you, it's you going with me," Zhou Chunhua said with an embarrassed smile.
Gu Yao remained silent, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a wide smile.
Afterwards, they reviewed all the clues they had at hand.
So much so that I didn't even realize it was 11 p.m.
After she finished explaining, Zhou Chunhua realized how late it was.
She felt bad about disturbing Gu Yao's rest any longer.
Zhu Lina returned looking exhausted after seeing Gu Yao off.
As soon as she entered, Juliana clung to her like a koala.
"Have you eaten?" she asked with concern.
Juliana shook her head.
Zhou Chunhua quickly pulled the person to sit down in the dining room and cooked Yangzhou fried rice for them.
"Huahua, it's so good to have you here." Juliana's eyes reddened dramatically, looking like a stray kitten that had been taken in by a kind person.
"Are you hungry? Eat up, I'll make you some soup."
While preparing the ingredients, Zhou Chunhua said, "No matter how busy you are with business, you can't go this late without eating! If you keep going like this, I don't know if you'll make any money, but your stomach will definitely suffer from hunger."
Juliana pouted and sniffed.
"It's really strange. Before, the few deals I made throughout the year were all hard-earned. Now, clients are contacting me one after another. It makes me feel embarrassed."
"So what? It just means your company is doing well and has a good reputation, which is why customers keep coming to you."
"Sister Hua, you're so good at talking! Come on, say more, I love to hear it." Juliana chuckled and said, "You know what? I think you brought me good luck."
Zhou Chunhua, who had brought over the soup, sat down beside her with a smile: "Your mouth is as sweet as honey. Here you go, your favorite pumpkin soup."
"No way! Hua Hua, I even calculated the time today. It's true that the company's business has suddenly taken off since you moved in with me."
Juliana looked very serious.
Zhou Chunhua responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes."
In her opinion, Nana's success was entirely psychological. The reason Nana's company was so successful was because of Nana's wholehearted dedication.
Just as Zhou Chunhua and Zhu Lina were chatting and laughing, the light came on in the dark window upstairs.
Gu Yao sneaked in and quietly closed the door.
He didn't breathe heavily until he entered the bedroom.
I turned on the light, took out my phone, and dialed a number.
He doesn't have the habit of saving phone numbers in his phone.
He only keeps all the necessary phone numbers in his head.
The call connected quickly.
Amidst the deafening music, a deep male voice asked, "Ah Yao? Have you decided to end your boring single life?"
"Come, come, come! I have plenty of beautiful women, though I lack many other things! What kind do you want? I'll find you a dozen to choose from!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the woman's clear, sweet laughter followed.
Gu Yao uncomfortablely took the phone away from his ear and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Qin An, I need to talk to you."
"Huh! So clueless about romance."
"It's serious! I'll give you five minutes to find a quiet place to talk to me."
"knew."
Immediately afterwards, he heard Tai'an issuing orders from the other end of the phone.
"Turn off all the music! Now!"
"You all go out first."
After just two short sentences, there was complete silence on the other end of the phone.
"Gu Yao, are you going to confess your feelings to me?"
Gu Yao sighed and shook his head: "Stop with your smooth talk. I'm asking you, do you know Wang Lin from Southeast Trade?"
"Southeast...trade? I think there's such a person. What's wrong?"
"What kind of business does he actually run?" Gu Yao asked.
"I haven't paid attention to this person before. Here, wait a few minutes and I'll call you back right away."
The phone call ended as soon as he finished speaking.
Gu Yao was already used to it.
Tai'an can be considered the crown prince of this area.
His ancestors were wealthy merchants since the Qing Dynasty.
The wealth accumulated over generations is now considerable; while not enough to rival a nation's riches, it is certainly among the wealthiest in the region.
Therefore, the Tai family can practically be considered local tyrants in Jiang City.
The reason he is considered one is because Tai'an is the illegitimate son of Old Master Tai.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Tai'an has no problem understanding anything related to Jiang City.
Soon, Tai'an called him.
"How about it?"
"Ah Yao, how did you get involved with that guy surnamed Wang?"
Gu Yao thought for a moment, then said casually, "It's work-related. What? Is he not clean?"
"It's more than just unclean! Do you know what he started with? He started with human trafficking! Let's put it this way, Wang Lin can be considered the number one smuggler around Jiang City."
The piglets would all be delivered to him, and then he would distribute them to various parks. Let me tell you, this old guy is definitely slippery as an eel. During the crackdown, I don't know where he got the tip-off, but he just fled abroad.
He even took his assets out of the country. I just asked him, and he only recently returned to China. I strongly suspect that Southeast Trade, while ostensibly engaged in cross-border trade, is actually running a dirty business.
After all, what else can someone like him do besides his old profession?
Gu Yao frowned.
He suddenly understood why Zhang Bo had put Wang Lin first.
"Can you check?"
"Investigate what?" Tai'an's voice suddenly rose five octaves: "No, do you want to investigate what he's been doing behind the scenes? Or do you want to investigate Southeast Trade?"
"Is there a difference?" Gu Yao asked.
"Gu Yao! Are you crazy? There's a limit to how crazy you can be, okay? Yes! I admit you have the ability, and I also have great respect for your spirit of moving mountains like the Foolish Old Man."
But what kind of good person is this? Even if you're after his dog's life, or even if you just want to snatch the meat from his mouth, he'll bite it to death without hesitation and then eat it.
Listen to my advice. It's best to avoid people like that. After all, this old guy has been in Southeast Asia for several years, and nobody knows which industrial park he's backed by.
Ah Yao! I haven't had enough of this blissful life yet! Listen to me, don't go looking for trouble.
Gu Yao fell into deep thought... Zhang Bo was looking for Wang Lin, so did that mean Nini might already be...?
