A Secret Talk
Lingshan blinked oddly at the calm and collected Huaijun. She couldn't hold it in any longer. "Captain Yang, do you know Lin Yi?"
"He looks like a friend of mine. I got too excited and made a mistake." Huaijun said with a smile. "I hope you didn't get scared?"
Since Lin Yi didn't want him to reveal his identity, Huaijun couldn't say too much.
"No … …" Lingshan shook her head. What kind of friend could make Captain Yang lose his composure like that, but she didn't ask.
Lin Yi was just about to flag down a taxi when Faubert's Bentley stopped beside him. Faubert poked his head out. "Get in, Mister Lin!"
Lin Yi nodded, not bothering with pleasantries as he walked over and opened the door to the front passenger seat. He was surprised to find another man in the backseat, Pengzhan!
"Hello, Uncle Chu." Lin Yi greeted politely.
"Are you alright, Lin Yi?" Pengzhan asked, a kind smile on his face as he looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had always thought that Pengzhan was being a little too nice to him. Was there some sort of secret behind all this, or … … But since Pengzhan wasn't going to talk about it, Lin Yi didn't press the issue. "It's nothing, just a couple of Communist Party members trying to cause trouble at school. I taught them a lesson, and the police let me go after understanding the situation."
"That's good." Pengzhan nodded. "Yao Yao's situation, it's all thanks to you! I just heard about what happened yesterday from Li Fu. You did a great job! "
"It's what I should do." Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. He'd taken Pengzhan's money for free, after all.
"Right, how are you getting along with Yao Yao? She didn't kick you out again, did she? "Pengzhan felt a headache coming on at the thought of his daughter.
"No, Yaoyao is very easy to get along with." Lin Yi smiled. Naturally, he wouldn't tell on Mengyao in front of Pengzhan. That would be pure idiocy.
No matter how naughty Mengyao was, Pengzhan had nothing but love for her. It'd be hell if he got fired for talking like that, and so he decided to praise Mengyao at the right time.
When Faubert heard Lin Yi's words, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything …
"Hehe, are you getting along well?" Pengzhan seemed to be very happy with Lin Yi's words, a gratified smile on his face. "Yao Yao is actually a good kid, just a little headstrong. You just have to give in to her a little more."
"Don't worry, Uncle Chu, I will." Lin Yi agreed without hesitation, but he remembered what the baldy had said in the robber's car yesterday. "Uncle Chu, there's something I should talk to you about." Lin Yi hesitated before deciding to talk to Pengzhan. "There's something I should tell you, Uncle Chu."
"Oh?" Pengzhan paused, then smiled. "What is it? Just say it!"
"It's about what happened yesterday … It's about the bank robbery …" Lin Yi said.
"How about this, let's find a place to talk about it. Faubert isn't an outsider, but he's driving. I don't want him to be distracted!" Pengzhan nodded.
"Okay!" It seemed like Lin Yi wouldn't be able to go to school today, so he might as well not go.
"Mister Chu, are we going home?" Faubert asked.
"Yes, let's go home, to the villa by the bay." Pengzhan ordered.
The villa by the bay was Pengzhan's private villa, but he was always busy with business and didn't go home often. Most of the time, the villa was empty. Mengyao, on the other hand, lived in Pengzhan's villas in the city for the convenience of going to school.
The villas were built by Pengzhan Industries, and Mengyao, of course, lived here because Yushu lived here as well. The two had been best friends since elementary school, and their relationship couldn't get any tighter than that.
Pengzhan's villa, on the other hand, was built in the suburbs, taking up a large piece of empty land. It was surrounded by green grass and flowers, and there was a road in the middle that led to the main building of the villa.
Of course, this was private property, and outsiders weren't allowed to enter. Upon entering the door, Faubert shone a laser card on the door, and the door opened slowly.
Lin Yi glanced at the brand of the door opener- it should be the most advanced rolling code opening system in the world. Even if the card was lent to someone else, it wouldn't be able to be duplicated. The code between the door opening system and the card was unique, and the MCU in the card calculated the code and fed it back to the door opening system.
But it wasn't unbreakable. Of course, Lin Yi didn't mention it, because this was considered very safe for civilians. But, if yesterday's incident wasn't investigated properly, then Lin Yi would have to do some security upgrades to Mengyao's villa. He couldn't guarantee that he'd be by Mengyao's side twenty-four hours a day.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and Faubert got out. He opened the door for Pengzhan and Lin Yi, and returned to the car after Lin Yi and Pengzhan got out.
"Faubert isn't coming in with us?" Lin Yi heard from Pengzhan that Faubert wasn't an outsider, so he asked.
"He's going to park the car in the garage, and he'll be back soon." Pengzhan could tell what Lin Yi was thinking, and he patted Lin Yi's shoulder with a smile, "Li Fu has been with me for more than ten years. If there's anything urgent when I'm not around, you can just tell Faubert!"
Lin Yi nodded- Faubert must be a very trustworthy person if Pengzhan said so.
The decorations in the villa couldn't be considered luxurious, but it wasn't the kind of luxurious ones. Instead, it leaned towards elegance and classicalness. It could be seen that Pengzhan was a person with good taste, different from the average nouveau riche.
"Sit anywhere, don't be shy, treat this like your own home," Pengzhan personally found a pair of slippers for Lin Yi, and placed it in front of Lin Yi.
This action, on the other hand, made Lin Yi feel a little flattered! But, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Pengzhan was being too close to him. It didn't seem like he was treating a subordinate like this, but more like he was treating his own family.
"Thank you, Uncle Chu," Lin Yi didn't act too pretentiously- he put on the slippers after thanking Pengzhan.
