Although Su Yue's confession didn't bring the abundant clues expected, Li Jin knew that every piece of information could be the key to breaking the deadlock. She looked at Su Yue and gently comforted her, "Don't blame yourself. The clues you provided are already very valuable. They have given us a better understanding of Liu Zhaoan's evil deeds."
Just then, Li Jin's cell phone rang. It was Chen Yu calling. "Sis, something's not right. Liu Zhaoan seems to have sensed something. His men have been acting strangely lately, and they've started liquidating many of their businesses, as if they're trying to go into hiding. Also, I just got word that the news of Su Yue's meeting with you might have been exposed. You need to be very careful."
Li Jin's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Su Yue beside him and immediately informed her of the situation. Su Yue's face grew even paler, and Chen Xiaoyan's expression was also grave. "Jin, it seems we need to be even more cautious. Once Liu Zhaoan goes into hiding, finding him will be like searching for a needle in a haystack," Chen Xiaoyan said, frowning.
Li Jin pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "He couldn't have vanished into thin air; he would have left some clues. Let's start with his businesses and see if we can find any leads on where he transferred assets or where he's hiding. Xiaoyan, you're familiar with the Liu family's businesses; you and Brother Chen should investigate this aspect in depth. Su Yue, you and I will stay here and sort through all the information we have so far; perhaps we can discover a crucial detail that we've overlooked."
Everyone nodded and quickly began their operation according to Li Jin's instructions. Li Jin and Su Yue sat in the conference room of the secret base, the table in front of them covered with documents and materials. They examined them word by word, not overlooking any detail.
“Li Jin, look here.” Su Yue pointed to a document and said, “This is the account of an import and export company under Liu Zhaoan. There are several large sums of money flowing into a mysterious account, and the purpose of these funds is very vaguely stated.”
Li Jin leaned closer for a closer look, his eyes lighting up: "This could very well be one of his methods for hiding his assets. If we can find out who's behind this mysterious account, we might be able to locate Liu Zhaoan."
Meanwhile, Chen Yu and Chen Xiaoyan's investigation also encountered difficulties. Liu Zhaoan's business management was extremely complex, with many accounts being concealed at various levels, making it no easy task to unravel the mystery.
“Brother Chen, this can’t go on. Liu Zhaoan must have anticipated that we would target their industries, so he’s been very discreet about everything,” Chen Xiaoyan said anxiously.
Chen Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's change our approach and start by investigating the people around him. He couldn't have acted alone; he must have trusted confidants handling his affairs. Finding these confidants might be the key to our breakthrough."
Meanwhile, Li Jin and Su Yue continued studying the data. Suddenly, Li Jin discovered a connection. "Su Yue, look, the bank that opened this mysterious account is connected to one of Liu Zhaoan's former business partners. Maybe this person knows something."
However, when they prepared to investigate this business partner further, they discovered that he had disappeared. "It seems Liu Zhaoan is indeed cautious; he's eliminated all clues that could reveal his whereabouts," Li Jin said through gritted teeth.
Looking at Li Jin's expression, Su Yue became even more frightened. If the Liu family wanted to retaliate against her, she would definitely die. If her parents knew that she had done these stupid things, they would be furious!
Li Jin noticed Su Yue's fear and patted her shoulder, saying, "Don't worry! The Liu family won't dare to act openly now. I'll send you back to Beijing in a few days. Don't go out on your own again! Also, I won't tell your parents what you did before!"
Su Yue felt somewhat comforted by Li Jin's words and nodded gratefully.
