Chapter 685 Closing the Net
A thin and tall figure appeared at the door. Huo Juncheng walked in slowly with a cup of hot milk in his hand.
"I prepared some milk for you. It will help you fall asleep." After putting down the milk, Huo Juncheng sat down next to him and asked casually, "What are you doing?"
Lin Yilan held the cup and took a sip of milk. It was warm and a little sweet. She was a little conflicted about whether she should tell Huo Juncheng about Taohua J.
Huo Juncheng hadn't missed what happened between Lin Yilan and Taohua J that afternoon. Glancing at the computer that was still cooling down, Huo Juncheng suppressed his doubts, stroked Lin Yilan's hair, and said softly, "Drink your milk and go to sleep. We'll deal with things tomorrow."
Although he was a little unhappy about the secret between Lin Yilan and Taohua J, he did not want to find out by force, but one day Lin Yilan took the initiative to tell him.
Lin Yilan knew that Huo Juncheng probably saw their actions and felt a little ashamed. As husband and wife, they should not have hidden anything.
Lin Yilan grabbed Huo Juncheng who wanted to leave, thought for a moment, and finally decided to tell him everything about Taohua J.
"My senior brother gave me a USB drive this afternoon. He said he's been under surveillance recently, but he's only aware of it and doesn't know who's behind it."
Lin Yilan turned on the computer again and played the contents of the USB flash drive to Huo Juncheng. It was Taohua J's voice.
After hearing this, Huo Juncheng narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned unconsciously. Taohua J had just returned and was already being targeted. One could imagine the capabilities of the person behind it.
The purpose of targeting Taohua J is obvious, it is very likely to deal with Lin Yilan.
Thinking of this, Huo Juncheng's eyes became cold. No matter whether the people behind him were targeting Lin Yilan or not, he would never let them succeed.
"Why don't we tell Chief Zhang about this? If the people targeting you are the same ones from before, you'll be in danger."
The more Lin Yilan thought about it, the more scared she became. She had experienced the methods those people used before, and she couldn't let her senior brother go through the same thing.
"I don't think that's appropriate." Huo Juncheng stopped Lin Yilan from contacting Zhang and explained carefully, "Taohua J knew someone was monitoring him but didn't dare to say anything. It's not just to avoid alerting the enemy, but also because the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. We still don't know how far their influence has penetrated."
"But I can't do nothing even though I know my brother is in danger!"
Lin Yilan understood what Huo Juncheng said, but that man was her senior brother, who had always spoiled her when she was a child. If something happened to her senior brother, she would never forgive herself.
"Calm down first." Huo Juncheng patted Lin Yilan's shoulder soothingly and promised, "I will have people protect Taohua J and won't give them a chance to attack."
With Huo Juncheng's promise, Lin Yilan felt relieved. Although Taohua J's martial arts were not weak, people always make mistakes. It is better to be safe than sorry.
"The tricky thing now is that we don't know if the Flower Cult has already infiltrated the police system. If they have, then we have to be more careful in our future cooperation with the police."
The night grew deeper. After hearing Huo Juncheng's guess, Lin Yilan felt inexplicably cold all over and huddled in Huo Juncheng's arms, looking for a sense of security.
Huo Juncheng was also very considerate and held Lin Yilan in his arms. Although he was silent, Lin Yilan felt Huo Juncheng's body temperature and heard his steady heartbeat, and inexplicably felt a lot more at ease.
"Do you think Zhang Suo can be trusted?"
After a long time, Lin Yilan looked up and asked Huo Juncheng in a low voice, staring into Huo Juncheng's eyes, and felt some hope.
"Zhang Suo?" Huo Juncheng recalled the past cooperation between him and Zhang Suo. He was an upright man. He nodded and said, "I think I can trust him. He has a good reputation for many years."
Since she decided to trust Zhang Suo, Lin Yilan decided to tell Zhang Suo that Taohua J was under surveillance, and asked Zhang Suo to pay more attention to the people on Taohua J's side, as there might be clues about other members of the Hua Cult.
After telling Huo Juncheng about this, Huo Juncheng did not object and gently tapped Lin Yilan's nose, "You should go to bed. I will arrange for you to meet Zhang tomorrow."
Lin Yilan has become more and more sleepy since she became pregnant. She used to go to bed long ago, but today she was really worried about her senior brother, so she stayed here to study for a solution.
"Okay." Lin Yilan agreed, suddenly blushing, and whispered, "You sleep with me."
Huo Juncheng looked at her with a smile, lowered his head and touched his forehead to Lin Yilan's, and said softly, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
The next day, Huo Juncheng asked his assistant to contact Zhang, and the three of them agreed to meet at Huo Juncheng's villa. Only here could Huo Juncheng ensure absolute confidentiality.
When Chief Zhang arrived, Huo Juncheng had been waiting for him for a long time. However, Lin Yilan was sleepy due to pregnancy and had not yet gotten up. Huo Juncheng felt sorry for her and asked Mrs. Zhang to wake her up later.
"You said on the phone that Taohua J was being monitored. How can you be sure that the person monitoring him is from the Hua Cult?"
Chief Zhang didn't like wasting time, so he went straight to the point and asked seriously.
"I don't have direct evidence to prove that the people monitoring him are related to the Flower Cult." Huo Juncheng paused for a moment and continued, "Based on my experience fighting them, I think their purpose in monitoring Taohua J is actually to deal with my wife."
Huo Juncheng told Zhang Suo everything he and Lin Yilan had analyzed last night. Zhang Suo's face became solemn. He picked up the tea, took a sip, and remained silent.
The atmosphere became a little strange. Huo Juncheng knew that Zhang Suo would definitely not believe his words completely, but he was not in a hurry to convince Zhang Suo.
"When did Zhang Suo come here?"
Lin Yilan's voice came from the side. Huo Juncheng looked over and saw that Lin Yilan had finished washing up and came down.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Huo Juncheng stood up and helped Lin Yilan to sit down carefully. "Have you had breakfast?"
"I ate it." Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng with a frown, her face flushed. "Chief Zhang is still here. You're making such a fuss."
Zhang wasn't the type to be incomprehensible. He laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "Just pretend I'm not here, otherwise I'll be too bright a lightbulb."
The gloomy atmosphere dissipated with Zhang Suo's laughter. The three of them chatted about trivial matters for a while. Lin Yilan continued, "Zhang Suo, whether you believe what we just said or not, please take care of my third brother. He's a bit dull and doesn't know how to socialize."
"That's not a big deal. Protecting citizens is our duty."
Zhang accepted Lin Yilan's request, not only because of his so-called duty, but also because he decided to believe what Huo Juncheng said.
On the matter of the Hua Cult, he and Huo Juncheng have the same stance. Perhaps after finding the person who is monitoring them, more clues about the Hua Cult will come to light.
