Chapter Twelve Is He Investigating Us?

  G City belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, and is also located on the windward coast. In summer, under the control of the equatorial oceanic air mass, it produces more summer rain than the tropical wet and dry season climate; due to the topography, summer precipitation even exceeds that of the equatorial rainy climate zone.

  Ma Pei bid farewell to Zhang Sen. Not long after, a heavy rain came unexpectedly. A heavy rain came unexpectedly.

  Returning home, I learned from Jiang Shu, the butler who came to welcome me with a smile, that my parents had gone to attend a business party and would not return until after 12 o'clock.

  He nodded and didn't say much, Ma Pei went upstairs to his own room.

  Outside the window, thunderstorms were brewing. Inside, Jiang Shu was helping Ma Pei sort out his luggage that he had brought back with him. In the bathroom, Ma Pei stood under the showerhead, thinking deeply as he washed away the dust and dirt from his body.

  He suddenly changed his face, quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, and rushed out without wiping the water droplets on his body.

  Jiang Shu had just hung up the clothes from Ma Pei's trunk in the wardrobe and hadn't left yet when he saw Ma Pei rush out, looking stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter: "Young Master Pei, you're done washing up so quickly? Do you want me to get you a cup of ginseng tea to warm you up?"

  "It's okay, thank you Uncle Jiang. I have some things to take care of. You go rest, I'll handle the rest myself."

  Jiang Shu responded with a "yes" and stood up to leave.

  Watching Jiang Shu's departing back, Ma Pei closed the door and walked into the inner room with his mobile phone.

  In a VIP room of "Longquan Nightclub", Chen Changhe held the microphone and sang Jay Chou's "Dong Feng Po" with great passion, after finishing, he put down the microphone and received a round of distracted applause.

  Turning back to see a group of people busy with the young lady, he laughed and scolded: "A bunch of beasts! It turns out that they are all infatuated with beauty and forget about their friends. Seeing MM, they don't even want to listen to my song king's songs?"

  One of them laughed and said, "That's a misstatement, 'river crab', we're not the kind who forgets friendship when they see beauty. At most, it's just 'hugging beauty and forgetting friendship'. Forgetting friendship because of beauty is something you can only look at but not eat, that's just a painting to satisfy your hunger. We brothers haven't reached such a high level yet. It has to be something that we can actually get our mouths on before we'd forget about friendship, right or wrong, brothers?"

  "That's right!" A group of people burst out laughing, with a woman's flirtatious laughter mixed in.

  Chen Changhe was about to speak when he suddenly felt a vibration at his waist, took out his phone and saw the two words "Dark Night" flashing on the screen. His heart skipped a beat as he quickly turned around and walked outside, muttering with a smile: "I'll take this call, I'll deal with you bunch of fools later."

  "Hello? Ye? It's me."

  A cold voice came over the phone: "Hm, what took you so long?"

  Chen Changhe smiled and said: "I was just singing K with a few buddies, I just came out from inside." As he spoke, they had already arrived at a deserted corner outside the nightclub.

  "On the other end of the phone, a gloomy voice said: 'How's everything going?'"

  Chen Changhe hesitated for a moment before responding: "There's something unexpected."

  "Huh?" The other party was clearly displeased, "Didn't you say everything was arranged? How could something unexpected happen?"

  For some reason, every time he heard An Ye's low-pitched "hmm" in the dark of night, Chen Changhe couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

  He swallowed his saliva, and Chen Changhe explained: "Originally, it was arranged for him to coincidentally save Ling Ziyu at the city's 'Dream Paris', and then Ling Ziyu would find an opportunity to meet him after arriving in G City. Unexpectedly, the young master who went with him to 'Dream Paris' had a girlfriend who looked exactly like Ling Ziyu, but had been missing for five years. This changed things. Since Ling Ziyu looked exactly like his friend's girlfriend, he would absolutely not have any thoughts about Ling Ziyu.

  "So I arranged for Ouyang Feifei to appear as Ling Ziwu's sister, a disabled person. With his personality, he will definitely have some sympathy for Ouyang Feifei, and things will go much smoother."

  After listening to Chen Changhe's words, the other party nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, this arrangement is very proper. Remember to tell them that this Zhang Sen, we are not going to get rid of him, but rather control him."

  Chen Changhe responded with a sound, and couldn't help but ask: "Why must we find him? Our insider in the public security department is enough."

  The other party snorted again: "You don't understand anything! He is the captain of the major crimes unit, and having him is more useful than ten public security bureau chiefs. Moreover, I received news that he seems to be secretly investigating 'Dark Night Gate', so we must be on guard."

  Chen Changhe sucked in a breath of cool air: "He's investigating us? Then what are we going to do? Isn't this just rushing to provide him with clues?"

  "He smiled and said: 'Providing him with clues is one thing, but he also needs to know how to use them; if he doesn't know how to use them, then it's his turn to provide us with clues.' Do you understand?"

  Chen Changhe nodded thoughtfully: "I kind of understand. Oh, right, An Ye, I was thinking, since Ling Ziyu's task for Zhang Sen has been lifted, and that Ma Pei seems to be infatuated with her because she looks exactly like his girlfriend, he won't let her go easily. And Ma Pei said to let Ling Ziyu take the recruitment exam at his company, should we take the opportunity to gather some intel on 'Hua Yu Tian Xia'?"

  He thought for a moment and said, "Well, the inside information of these big companies will always be useful at some point. And that Huayu is very strict in using people, it's hard to get in, this is a good opportunity, tell her, just do it like this. Just remind her that before receiving the order, she can collect information, but don't make any rash moves. That Ma Pei is young, but he's a rare talent in the business world, his mind is extremely sharp, don't let him notice anything." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

  He hung up the phone and Chen Changhe let out a sigh of relief.

  For some reason, every time Chen Changhe talked to the "Dark Night Gate" boss he had never met, he felt a deep sense of oppression, as if his majesty was being transmitted over the phone.

  He calmed his nerves and looked around, then dialed a number: "Hello? Weiwei? It's me, Changjiang... Ask Feifei to take the phone... Feifei, it's Changjiang..."
