With Qiu Zhenyang by his side, Ling Mu had a good nightâs sleep.
After getting up the next day, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu asked for leave to leave the school. After all, his identity is not ordinary. The counselor thought they had something to do and released them easily.
The two went straight to the Lin family villa area. Qiu Zhenyang first observed the situation on the side of the street and found that there were a lot of security guards at the gate.
âGrandma sent me the invite1like a visiting invitation or calling card just now, and said that we were going to visit Mr. Lin. After entering the villa area, we will go to Lin Zhiyuanâs house.â Qiu Zhenyang transferred the invite over.
He looked down at the terminal, but did not notice any movement at the gate over there. Ling Mu grabbed his arm and said, âIt looks like Lin Nuoâs mother in that car.â
Qiu Zhenyang looked up and saw a car passing from Linâs house, through the gate. The person sitting inside was none other than Lin Zhiyuanâs wife, Weng Quan.
He looked at Weng Quanâs calm face but obviously nervous eyes, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Lin Zhiyuan doesnât necessarily do everything by himself, and Weng Quan, who is also from a famous family, may also be in on it. But because she was a seemingly harmless omega and acted like she didnât know anything, no oneâs attention was on her.
âLetâs not go in yet, follow Weng Quan to see what she does.â Qiu Zhenyang had an intuition, Weng Quan went out probably for Lin Zhiyuanâs matters.
Generally, a wealthy family like the Lin family would take a high-end aircraft when they travel, which is very high-profile. But she went out in a very ordinary car. It seemed that she didnât want to attract attention. Maybe they can really find some clues this time.
Ling Mu knew which was more important, and immediately nodded in agreement.
After the two of them came out of the school, they used a rental motorcycle service on the side of the road. Putting on their helmets, Ling Mu sat behind Qiu Zhenyang and hugged Qiu Zhenyangâs waist tightly, and they set off again.
Because he was wearing a helmet and a motorcycle is relatively small, Qiu Zhenyang was not worried that their tracking would be exposed.
After Weng Quanâs car stopped in front of a coffee shop, Qiu Zhenyang also parked the car on the side of the road, sneaked in and sat down not far away. Although the location is relatively close, it is very well-hidden, and cannot be seen from Weng Quanâs point of view.
At the same time, Qiu Zhenyang also took out a small recorder in order to hear what was going on. This type of recorder can be controlled remotely, so he controlled the recorder to the bottom of the table where Weng Quan was sitting, and leaned it against the table post to prevent it from being trampled.
To prevent anyone from noticing, he then raised his hand and beckoned the waiter for two cups of coffee, before redirecting his attention to Weng Quanâs side.
The woman looked very nervous. She could pretend to be calm when she was in the car, but her demeanor was utterly different now. Sitting alone, clasping her hands nervously and rubbing them together. She didnât even hear what the waiter said, and was asked three times before she could react.
âAh, donât need it for now, Iâm waiting for someone, Iâll order when he comes over.â
Weng Quan sent the waiter away, while Qiu Zhenyang narrowed his eyes and turned on the video recording function in the terminal just in case.
After a while, Weng Quan stood up and waved at a man who came in at the door.
Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu immediately lowered their heads to prevent the man from noticing them when he came over.
âBrother, whatâs the matter with you recently?â Weng Quan lowered his voice, obviously anxious.
Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, who were monitoring with headphones, looked at each other. They didnât expect it to be Weng Quanâs brother. They didnât investigate Weng Quan beforehand, so they didnât know his background, and could only listen in.
The man was an alpha, his voice was low and hoarse: âWhatâs the matter? Itâs just a few mice who want to find out about Lin Zhiyuan. They just think Iâm a shrimp and donât put any energy on me at all.â
His tone was quite indifferent, and even a little smug. âWho would have thought that I would lead Lin Zhiyuan? As long as they canât find me, your waste husband wonât have any major problems.â
Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were immediately shocked when they heard this, the formerâs heart even jumped.
Qiu Haolin had clearly told him before that progress on Lin Zhiyuan was stagnant because he couldnât find the informant, but if this man didnât lie, he was the one they were looking for!
Theyâre quite lucky to have bumped into and followed Weng Quan out, and even recorded the interaction. All this is much too coincidental!
On the other side, Weng Quan was frightened and got up to cover her brotherâs mouth with a pale face. âDo you have a brain? What if theyâre ears on the wall? Then weâre all dead!â
Weng Quan really regretted it now. She was worried it was more inconspicuous if her brother came to visit, so she chose to meet outside in a low-key manner. As a result, her brother was just like her son Lin Yuhan, arrogant and brash, saying things without any scruples. Donât know how to be indiscreet!
Annoyed by his younger sisterâs actions, he pulled her hand away, and snorted coldly. âYour surprise will attract attention, okay? Hurry up, whatâs the matter with me finding me this time?â
This attitude made Weng Quanâs heart even more uneasy, but the situation is too pressing. She had no other option but to bite her lips, take out a card from her handbag, and hand it over.
âBrother, there are 10 million here. Zhiyuan has been stared at no matter what he does recently, and there is really no way to get out. Can you help deal with the people who delivered the goods?â Weng Quan came with a mission today to help Lin Zhiyuan remove as many obstacles as possible.
The man picked up the card and looked at it, frowning slightly: âTen million? Is that Lin Zhiyuan a beggar? Even if Mr. Lin doesnât give him the right of inheritance, he still has a lot of property under his name. He canât be this poor?â
Qiu Zhenyang choked hearing his words, let alone Ling Mu, his eyes filled with doubts about the word âpoorâ.
âBrother, you also know that it is not easy for us now. There are too many places that need money. Canât you help us first? After Zhiyuanâs affairs are settled, I will definitely give you more.â Weng Quan was also unable to bear her brotherâs attitude.
After some fake sighing, the man finally accepted the card.
âOkay, I got it. Youâre also taking a risk coming out to find me.â The man waved his hand and agreed.
Seeing this, Weng Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really had no choice but to do this. She was worried her terminal was monitored given Lin Zhiyuanâs matter, so she could only ask to meet in person.
After the matter was finished, Weng Quan didnât stay any longer and left immediately. The man tapped the card on the table twice, then got up and left.
The recording was stopped, Qiu Zhenyang looked at Ling Mu with excitement.
âItâs so profitable, we actually found Lin Zhiyuanâs informant!â Qiu Zhenyang sighed, and sent the video to Qiu Haolin. âBrother told me before that because the informant could not be found, there might be no way to give Lin Zhiyuan a severe sentence. Now we know who it is, the rest is easy to handle!â
Ling Mu showed his first smile in the past few days, and then went under the table where Weng Quan was sitting and took the recorder back. The voice in the video is very small, but with a recorder, it can fully show the process of their meeting.
Qiu Zhenyang took the recorder and put it away, and then asked Ling Mu, âThen letâs go to Linâs house now?â
The purpose of this visit was to understand Dong Qiulanâs situation. go back.
But Ling Mu thought about it and decided not to go. âThe video has been sent to your brother, and the man is expected to be taken away soon. News will spread quickly, and Weng Quan will suspect something. Itâll be bad for us to appear in the Lin family for no reason, and are taken hostage.â
Qiu Zhenyang naturally took this into consideration, but he still wanted to hear Ling Muâs opinion.
Now that the two had reached an agreement, he smiled and said, âThen letâs go to the military department now and hand over the recording to the big brother. This is already conclusive proof.â
Ling Mu nodded in agreement immediately, and the two left.
Because we had greeted Qiu Haolin in advance, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were admitted after some basic security procedures.
The atmosphere in the military is serious, with solemn soldiers with their backs straight, patrolling back and forth in the barracks.
Qiu Zhenyang followed the directions and found his brotherâs office easily. After knocking on the door twice, he heard a familiar voice behind the door: âPlease come in.â
Qiu Zhenyang put the recorder on Qiu Haolinâs desk almost immediately after entering. âThis is the original recording, I havenât done anything, their voices are distinct in the video.â
Qiu Haolin picked up the recorder and smiled at his younger brother. âYou guys did a great job this time. Iâve sent the video to the Supervision Department. Someone has already gone to Weng Liâs side. He should be escorted over for interrogation in a while.â
Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu looked at each other.
âAlso, because of the relationship between Weng Quan and Weng Li, I have applied to search Lin Zhiyuanâs house again and take Weng Quan away for questioning. The team has been readied and can leave at any time. When Weng Li is arrested, we will go to Linâs house. â
This made Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu a little surprised. If they had the chance to go to Linâs house, it meant that they could find out Dong Qiulanâs whereabouts. Qiu Haolin also obviously thought of this before taking up this task, otherwise, such a job would be complete overkill with his status as a lieutenant general.
âThank you, brother.â Qiu Zhenyang grinned. As expected of his own brother, thinking of his own people in everything he did.
Qiu Haolin got up and waved at him. âOkay, you can go outside and wait. Iâll go to the team to have a look first, so that everyone is ready to go.â
âOkay.â They stopped by the door to wait for Qiu Haolinâs team.
Thinking that Dong Qiulanâs whereabouts could be investigated later, Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Muâs hand: âWhat if your mother wants to go back with you?â
Ling Mu raised his eyes and said, âWhat âgo backâ? I have no home with her anymore. Sheâs not my home, nor is she my future.â
This was probably the last time heâd pay attention to Dong Qiulan. She had already said that he was no longer his son, and him asking now was for peace of mind.
Ling Mu just couldnât get past this hurdle in his heart, but his mind was still very clear. He is not a Virgin Mary. If Dong Qiulan insists on staying with the Lin family, he will not stop her. But if she wants him to fulfill his familial responsibilities, Ling Mu will agree for legal reasons, but only in terms of money, and there will be no other contact.
Qiu Zhenyang hugged Ling Mu. Yes, they have a future that belongs to them.
That recording scene feels odd (how did they place it there?), but thatâs what the raws said.
