Chapter 114 Seeing Through
Hearing that familiar name again made her feel momentarily disoriented.
Yeah?
He actually knew him too.
A strange feeling welled up in her heart.
"You know him?"
"Yes, we were quite close when we were in the United States."
Luo Tingwei listened to him call her "sister-in-law" and felt a little confused. Suddenly, she became very curious about how Li Yanzhou had introduced himself to her.
"He mentioned me?"
The man smiled and said with a playful tone, "Of course."
"So... what did he say?"
"Want to know?"
Luo Tingwei sensed the flirtatious tone in the other person's voice and rolled her eyes. "Fine, don't tell me then."
As he spoke, he went to close the door.
Zhou Yancheng panicked and stretched out a hand to brace against the door frame.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
"In all the years I've known him, I've only heard him mention women twice, and one of them was you..."
As the man spoke, his expression became unnatural, and his voice gradually softened, "It was you again the other time."
"Hmm... He just doesn't say it, but he's actually head over heels in love with you."
Luo Tingwei stared at him blankly, completely motionless.
After a long while, he lowered his head and muttered to himself,
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
Zhou Yancheng noticed that her eyes were red, and his heart stirred slightly. He was about to reach out and touch her face, but he forcibly restrained himself.
Forget it, this is called sexual harassment now.
I really want to hold her gently, comfort her softly, bury her head in my arms, and say, "Baby, don't cry."
But doing this kind of thing with that face is just being a hooligan.

There was a rapid knocking on the door.
Dr. Lin, his eyes bloodshot, was still immersed in the failure of his mission not long ago, and was gulping down large mouthfuls of red wine.
who?
He opened the door with a gloomy expression.
It was Ron.
Dr. Lin quickly composed himself and forced a smile. "Mr. Luo, is there something you need?"
Ron didn't hold back and slapped him across the face.
Dr. Lin was stunned by the blow, and his drunkenness subsided. He looked at the person who had come in disbelief.
Ron grabbed his collar menacingly, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"I'm warning you, if anything happens to that girl, I'll fucking shoot you dead, no matter who you are!"
Upon hearing his words, Dr. Lin guessed what was going on, but still forced a smile and asked, "What girl? What are you talking about?"
“Ask yourself what you’ve done! Lin Wensen, let me tell you, she’s my daughter, and you’re not allowed to touch her.”
Dr. Lin's expression gradually turned to astonishment. "What? Your daughter?"
...
Dr. Lin is indeed a cunning old fox.
After Ron calmed down, he immediately assured her repeatedly that he would not have any other thoughts about her.
However, he had a question in his mind.
"Boss Luo, don't you find it strange? Besides your men, there was another group of people protecting her that day. Aren't you curious about whose people they were?"
Upon hearing Dr. Lin's words, Ron finally noticed this.
Previously, he was so preoccupied with his daughter's safety that he no longer cared about anything else.
His reminder made me start to really think about it.
That's really strange.
Li Yanzhou is dead, and Luo Shengtian is in dire straits and has disappeared without a trace. What kind of backer does Luo Tingwei have?
Could it be...?
Ron suddenly thought of someone.
Could it be Zhou Yancheng?
But would such a playboy care so much about a woman after only meeting her once, and even secretly arrange for someone to protect her?
Zhou Yancheng has a lot of gossip in the United States, and his biggest hobby is sexy foreign women.
Luo Tingwei was beautiful, but she looked thin and delicate, innocent and naive, clearly a different type from the mature women he preferred.
Yan Cheng's tastes have changed way too quickly this week.
Just then, he heard Dr. Lin stand up from the table and hand him a tablet, saying, "Take a look at this."
Ron took it and saw a photograph.
It's obviously paparazzi taking photos in the underground parking garage; a man and a woman have just gotten out of their car.
Dr. Lin's voice rang out again, "These are a set of photos that were just updated on the Onion website in the early hours of this morning."
"The headline above is about several previously unreleased dating photos of Zhou Yancheng."
Ron narrowed his eyes, his gaze drawn to the woman beside him. "It seems he doesn't only like white women. Look, isn't this woman an Asian woman?"
Dr. Lin sneered, "What if I said that these photos weren't from the past, but were taken just a few days ago?"
Without even thinking, Ron said, "That's impossible. Zhou Yancheng has been in Black City for the past few days. I saw him yesterday."
Dr. Lin remained silent, lit a cigarette, took a slow puff, and then pointed in the direction indicated.
"What a pity, the jacket he's wearing is a new product that the Bari Family just released two days ago."
"Mr. Luo, you should understand what I'm saying now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ron's expression changed abruptly.
The man grabbed the tablet, leaned closer, and examined it carefully once more.
"How is this possible..."
"Yes, I'm also very puzzled. How did two Zhou Yanchengs suddenly appear out of nowhere? One in America and one in Black City."
Dr. Lin exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled confidently.
"Moreover, the sudden release of these photos at this time seems to be a deliberate reminder that Zhou Yancheng's tastes are not limited to white women..."
"You mean, someone is pulling the strings behind all this?"
"Manipulation? That would require Zhou Yancheng's cooperation, otherwise how did these photos come about?"
Dr. Lin stubbed out his cigarette, gave a momentary sneer, and said, word by word.
"This is clearly a coordinated attack from within and without."
Ron looked at him and asked tentatively, "Who do you think it could be?"
"Whoever is least likely to be the one is the one."
Soon, a name appeared in both of their minds.
Ron cursed, "Damn it, he's treating us like idiots!"
Dr. Lin remained silent, lit another cigarette, and exhaled a light puff, "Tsk..."
"That was a clever move of his. It's a pity he never anticipated that the woman would mistakenly enter the private room that day."
Ron glanced at him and said warningly, "I don't care what you do, just one thing: you absolutely cannot drag my daughter into this again."
However, a fierce glint flashed in Dr. Lin's eyes, and he suddenly became stubborn.
"Boss Luo, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Don't blame me for speaking out, but if you let your feelings get the better of you now, you'll be the next one to die."
"What do you mean?"
Do you think he'll let you leave Black City alive?
"you……"
"Don't forget you're in Black City now. You also know whose territory Black City used to be."
Ron fell silent, his gaze drifting into the distance, as if deep in thought.
After a long silence, the man opposite finally spoke, as if relenting, "What do you want to do?"
