Chapter 958 What Kind of Friend Are You?
"Friends?" Father Cheng's tone was full of disdain. "What kind of friends? The kind that only drags down Yunchuan and distracts him?"
Jiang Mubai gritted his teeth and tried hard to restrain the urge to slap him. This old man is simply unreasonable! "Mr. Cheng, what do you mean? Wan'er and Yunchuan are truly in love, they..."
"Enough!" Father Cheng interrupted her rudely, "Don't mention that woman to me again! Yunchuan's death is closely related to her!"
Jiang Mubai's heart was shocked. Could it be that Father Cheng really suspected Lin Wan'er? "What evidence do you have?"
Father Cheng stared at her gloomily and said word by word: "I know something, but now is not the time to tell. I warn you, don't interfere in this matter again, otherwise..." He paused, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "You will bear the consequences at your own risk."
After saying that, he rolled up the car window, and the black car drove away, leaving Jiang Mubai in a fog. Cheng's father's warning did not make her back off, but made her more determined to investigate. The more he tried to cover up, the more it showed that he knew something!
Back in the car, Jiang Mubai immediately called the private detective. "Check for me Cheng Yunchuan's father, Cheng Yuanshan, his recent movements, and the people he has come into contact with. I want to know everything!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and tried to recall the few times she had met Cheng's father. He always had a stern face, was very frugal with words, and was always very cold to her. She vaguely remembered that Cheng's father once mentioned Cheng Yunchuan's business competitors in a vague way, with a hint of worry in his tone. Could it be that... Cheng Yunchuan's death was related to his business competition?
A terrible thought flashed through her mind. If this was true, would Cheng's father... also be involved?
Jiang Mubai suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She had to find out the truth, even if she had to dig three feet underground! She started the car, turned the front of the car, and drove towards the direction of Cheng Yunchuan's company.
It was already late at night when he arrived at the company building. The whole building was dark, with only a few offices still lit with dim lights. Jiang Mubai did not go in directly, but parked the car on the side of the road and observed quietly.
About half an hour later, a sneaky figure walked out of the building. In the dim street lights, Jiang Mubai recognized him - Cheng Yunchuan's competitor, Li Zhiqiang! He was holding a file bag tightly in his hand, looking around in panic, as if to confirm whether anyone was following him. Seeing this scene, Jiang Mubai's heart sank, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously... She followed him quietly.
Li Zhiqiang walked very fast, looking back from time to time, like a guilty rat. Jiang Mubai followed him all the way, keeping a distance. She felt like a fully drawn bow, ready to shoot a fatal arrow at any time. Li Zhiqiang turned into a dark alley, and Jiang Mubai slowed down, carefully hiding in the shadows. A black car was parked deep in the alley, with the windows closed, and the person inside could not be seen clearly. Li Zhiqiang walked to the side of the car and knocked on the window. The window slowly lowered, revealing a face that Jiang Mubai was very familiar with - Father Cheng!
Seeing this scene, Jiang Mubai's heart was in turmoil. She could hardly believe her eyes. Cheng's father actually met with Li Zhiqiang in private! These two people, one is Cheng Yunchuan's father, and the other is Cheng Yunchuan's competitor. What kind of secret deal is there between them?
Li Zhiqiang bent down and whispered a few words to Cheng's father, then handed him the file bag. Cheng's father took the file bag, but did not open it. Instead, he patted Li Zhiqiang's shoulder meaningfully. Li Zhiqiang nodded and said a few words, then turned and left the alley.
Father Cheng did not leave immediately, but sat in the car and lit a cigarette, the scarlet flame reflecting his gloomy face. Jiang Mubai held his breath and dared not move, for fear of being discovered by him.
After a cigarette was burned out, Cheng's father started the car and slowly drove away from the alley. Jiang Mubai immediately called the private detective: "Help me check Cheng Yuanshan's recent communication records, especially his contact with Li Zhiqiang, and his capital flow. The sooner the better!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai started the car and followed Cheng's father. She wanted to see what tricks this old fox was playing!
At the same time, Jiang Mubai began to recall every detail of her time with Cheng Yunchuan, trying to find some clues. She remembered that Cheng Yunchuan had inadvertently mentioned that his father's business was under a lot of pressure recently and seemed to be involved in a complicated business dispute. He also said that his father's recent behavior was a bit strange, as if he was hiding something from him.
"Could it be... Yunchuan discovered something, so..." Jiang Mubai didn't dare to think about it anymore. A terrible premonition spread in her heart.
The private detective was very efficient and quickly sent over the results of Cheng's father's investigation. Cheng's father's recent capital flow was indeed abnormal, with large amounts of money flowing into several overseas accounts whose holders were unknown. More importantly, Cheng's father and Li Zhiqiang had very frequent contacts, with call records recorded almost every day, and most of the calls were concentrated in the middle of the night.
Seeing this information, Jiang Mubai's doubts deepened. She was almost certain that Cheng's father was related to Cheng Yunchuan's death! She gripped the steering wheel tightly, with angry flames flashing in her eyes. She must find out the truth and seek justice for Cheng Yunchuan! Even if the opponent is his biological father!
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai was like a possessed person, frantically investigating everything about Cheng's father. She disguised herself and sneaked into Cheng's father's company, trying to find more clues. She even followed Cheng's father and observed his every move. She found that Cheng's father often went in and out of some high-end clubs and private clubs, and met with different people every time, including some business celebrities and political dignitaries.
On this day, Jiang Mubai followed Cheng's father to a private club. She saw Cheng's father and a burly man with a face full of flesh walked in. Jiang Mubai also knew that man, a well-known local gangster boss, known as "Brother Tiger". Seeing this scene, Jiang Mubai's heart sank, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously... She followed quietly, but was stopped by two burly men at the door. "What are you doing?" One of the big men asked ferociously. Jiang Mubai suddenly had an idea, showing a charming smile, and said in a coquettish voice: "Two brothers, I'm here to find Brother Tiger. Please inform him and say... I'm his old lover."
The two burly men looked Jiang Mubai up and down, with a hint of contempt in their eyes. "Old lover? When did Brother Hu have such a... beautiful lover?" One of the big men had obvious suspicion in his tone.
