037 felt like he was enjoying a melon, and then it suddenly fell to the ground, especially when Ruan Qing'an's explanation in his mind merged with Lin Chen's—
037 was dumbfounded again. What kind of brains do these two have? They're so useful.
If the management bureau can sell it, it will buy one, no matter the price.
It couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, who is plotting against Lin Qisheng? And what exactly is going on? I don't understand!"
After considering the lengthy explanation she wanted to give to 037, Ruan Qing'an subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen, who was deep in thought beside her. The young man only said one sentence and then fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Thinking of this, her leaden almond-shaped eyes darted around, and she chuckled silently.
Ha Ke, Hua Guo, Lin Qisheng...
Lin Chen sat there, his thoughts drifting away as he sorted out the events of the past few days. Just then—
"Lin Chen".
A soft, sweet voice rang out, almost like a coquettish plea. Lin Chen paused, then subconsciously looked up. His cat, who used to scratch him, was staring at him with intense focus.
Her eyes were filled with his image, as if he were her everything.
Lin Chen's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he felt a dryness in his throat. He barely managed to suppress his wandering thoughts: "What now?"
"Lin Chen, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Ruan Qing'an paused, then asked, "Can you explain this to me? I don't understand this story. If you want to hear it, please tell me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "I'm already being generous by letting you hear me."
However, despite saying that, Lin Chen did not doubt it. After all, Ruan Qing'an had been imprisoned in the manor and had only just been released. Even before she was imprisoned, she was just an ordinary person, and these things were simply beyond her reach.
However, 037 in Ruan Qingan's mind fell silent.
It clearly remembered that when Lin Chen spoke, this ancestor also spoke, obviously already knowing the intricacies involved.
But now...
037 suddenly realized: [Wait, ancestor, are you disgusted with me and don't want to explain anymore, so you're just passing the problem to the male lead?!]
Ruan Qingan was shocked: "What?!"
"The little system has realized something; that's truly terrifying!"
037 who felt insulted: (;′??Д??`)
At this moment, Lin Chen spoke. In the quiet little room, the young man's low, magnetic voice was particularly pleasant to hear. Ruan Qing'an couldn't help but look over, and 037 was no longer sad.
Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "The reason why Lin Qisheng framed me is actually very simple. After the goods went wrong half a month ago, I tried several times to find out the truth, but that old man kept blocking me. He probably didn't want me to find out the truth and deal with it."
“If something really happens, given how strictly China cracks down on drugs, then I’ll be taking the blame for Lin Qisheng. If nothing happens, Hack, who can’t get the stuff, will also be furious and take action.”
He paused for a moment: "So Lin Qisheng gave himself half a month to prepare, but regardless of whether that old man's deal succeeds or not, he himself will be safe and sound, only I might get into trouble."
Hearing this, even Ruan Qing'an's eyes turned cold: "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, this old bastard has really gone mad..."
Lin Chen merely scoffed at this, a hint of hostility rising in his eyes.
However, he didn't say much, but changed the subject: "As for the fact that someone is trying to scheme against that old man Lin Qisheng, that's just my guess."
“Harker’s business ran into trouble, someone in China gave him a big order, the goods that went missing half a month ago, and Lin Qisheng’s side suddenly became busy dealing with things. All of this is too much of a coincidence.”
Ruan Qing'an couldn't help but say, "That's why you have doubts."
Lin Chen nodded: "However, there is no evidence yet, but you don't need to worry about it, I will handle it. Just stay by my side."
Does a useless beauty need to do chores?
No, all she needs to do is stand there looking beautiful.
Moreover, for Lin Chen, perhaps just being watched by those eyes would be enough to satisfy him.
...
Since nothing was certain, Ruan Qing'an and Lin Chen didn't discuss it further. Instead, they left the room and headed back onto the deck.
Huck was nowhere to be seen at that moment.
Ruan Qing'an didn't ask him where he went, but she already had a vague guess in her mind. At this moment, Lin Chen's gaze fell on the controlled henchmen of Hark on the deck.
He slightly raised his hand, just as he was about to speak—
"Don't kill me!"
A voice suddenly interrupted Lin Chen. It was Hark's trusted henchman who had been silent before. He seemed to be terrified and screamed in fear.
Before Lin Chen could speak, his trusted henchman shouted, "Young Master Lin, please don't kill me! I know where Hark hides his money!"
"oh?"
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and looked up, a sneer in his eyes.
The trusted henchman, however, kept his head down, looking extremely respectful. Although his expression was unclear, his tone was filled with cowardice and fear of death, and he spoke with utmost deference.
Hark has shady dealings; he might be hiding dirty money.
but……
Lin Chen said with a half-smile, "Then I'll give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, the trusted underling spoke with even greater delight, as if he wished he could kowtow and thank Lin Chen. He immediately said, "This matter is confidential. I wonder if I could tell you, Young Master Lin, in private?"
"Haq has been committing crimes in the Silver Triangle for many years. The drug trade is extremely profitable, and he has a lot of dirty money that he can't launder. So he tried to turn it all into gold and then found a place to store it."
Following the words of his trusted henchman, the remaining henchmen behind him glared angrily, wishing they could tear this traitor apart alive, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!
"You bastard, the boss is so good to you!"
"Your life was saved by the boss. Without him, you would have died long ago. And now you dare to betray us? Traitor!!"
Hearing the angry curses behind him, the trusted henchman froze.
However, the henchman who was cursing behind him was kicked by the mercenary and quickly shut up after being beaten.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and raised his hand after a long while.
"Bring him over here to talk, and have the people behind him keep him under control."
"Yes, young master!"
One of the mercenaries who had been standing guard with guns stepped forward. He held the guns in both hands and came to his trusted henchman. He untied the rope binding his legs, leaving only the ropes on his hands to control his movements.
But the mercenary wasn't worried. He pressed the muzzle of his gun against his trusted henchman's head and said, "Get up and get over there!"
"Yes, yes..."
The trusted henchman spoke shakily, then tried to stagger to his feet. Seeing his dawdling, the mercenary with the gun grew impatient and clicked his tongue. Just as he was about to kick the man to urge him on—
A chilling glint flashed past in his vision!
