What Kind of Mission
"But, this is the first time I'm working with their company. They probably don't know me that well, so I don't have any evidence to back up my suspicions." Pengzhan shook his head, as if denying his own guess.
"Uncle Chu, I heard a man talking on the phone when I went to the washroom." Lin Yi told Pengzhan what he'd overheard.
Pengzhan frowned as he listened to Lin Yi's words. He'd suspected that there was something wrong with the company he'd been working with earlier, and they'd almost signed the contract. But when he'd arrived, they'd been using all sorts of excuses to push the contract away, as if they were waiting for something. They'd been looking at the time nonstop, and when the contract didn't come, they'd come up with an excuse, saying that the contract wasn't ready yet, and that they needed a meeting to discuss it.
Pengzhan was pissed at the company for going back on their word, but the contract hadn't been signed yet, and they had the right to go back on their word. Pengzhan could only say a few words about working with them in the future before leaving in a hurry.
However, the other party's actions had raised his suspicions. He hadn't thought much of it at first, but after learning that Mengyao had been kidnapped by the bank robbers, Pengzhan wondered if there was a connection between the two incidents.
But on the surface, the two incidents didn't seem to be related at all. Pengzhan couldn't find any connection between the two, and he only had his suspicions.
But after listening to Lin Yi's words, Pengzhan understood everything. The other party hadn't intended to be sincere from the start, and they'd resorted to kidnapping his daughter to force him to achieve their goal!
Indeed, if his daughter hadn't been rescued by Lin Yi, and had been kidnapped instead, Pengzhan would've had no choice but to agree to some benefits for his daughter's safety, as long as the other party revealed the slightest bit of information during the negotiation.
The other party could've denied everything afterward, since it was only a bank robbery, and his daughter had only been taken as a hostage. With this layer of cover, the fact that the other party had carried out the kidnapping would've been easily covered up.
No wonder the other party kept looking at the time, as if they were waiting for something. This was what they were waiting for! From what Lin Yi had said, the man on the phone in the washroom had to be someone high up in the company, since he was on the top floor of the company.
With this person working together, the other party's plan was flawless. But it of all things, of course, they hadn't considered the possibility of Lin Yi's presence. It seemed that of his daughter's side had been a wise decision after all.
Pengzhan had only arranged Lin Yi to stay by Mengyao's side of the company, of his mind of all of his plans. of all. Pengzhan hadn't thought of anything else. Yet, Lin Yi of of of his. of this of his.
"I will look into this matter." I'll investigate this. "Pengzhan's eyes flashed fiercely. He might've had conflicts with some of the higher ups in the company, but he wouldn't allow anyone to use his daughter to mess things up.
Lin Yi nodded. He didn't want to get involved in these things. As the chairman of the company, Pengzhan naturally had his own methods. Lin Yi only told Pengzhan what he'd heard. As for how to carry it out, that was up to Pengzhan.
"Yi, you didn't alert the enemy, did you?" Pengzhan suddenly thought of an important problem- did Lin Yi alert the other party when he was eavesdropping in the washroom? If the other party was alerted, it'd be difficult to catch the other party's tail.
"Don't worry, Uncle Chu." Lin Yi smiled. "I was shocked when Faubert called, but I pretended to be someone who came to the company for business and went to the wrong floor …"
Lin Yi told Pengzhan everything he'd said to himself.
"Haha, not bad. You're quite alert!" Pengzhan praised. The more he looked at Lin Yi, the more pleased he was with him. At first, it was his old father's wish, and Pengzhan was just following the old man's wishes. But now, he truly felt that Lin Yi was a rare talent!
Pengzhan's father, Chu Sanwa, was a man of authority in the family. He'd started out as a small bricklayer, building up Pengzhan Industries from scratch. Now that Pengzhan Industries was in Chu Pengzhan's hands, Chu Sanwa was still a man of authority in the family.
Pengzhan's family was very poor when he was young, and Chu Sanwa established Pengzhan Construction when he was seven or eight, growing it up step by step. That was why he wasn't tainted by the bad habits of those rich second generations. He also had the demeanor of a big family and was very respectful to his father.
Many of the shareholders in the company were old friends who had built up the company with his father. Although the shares were now in the hands of their children and grandchildren, some of them were starting to get restless, but Pengzhan didn't do anything to them out of consideration for his father's face.
But today's incident had crossed Pengzhan's bottomline. Mengyao was his only daughter, and these people dared to mess with his daughter. This was the first time Pengzhan had been angered.
"Right, Uncle Chu, can you tell me what mission you have for me to do?" Lin Yi asked after some hesitation. He'd better take advantage of today's opportunity to ask this question.
He'd been in Songshan for a few days now, and he hadn't seen any important missions for him to do. Other than accompanying Mengyao to and from school, making her breakfast, and taking care of a few clowns … It was an easy life, but Lin Yi didn't feel at ease! He was here for a big mission, and it was said that this mission would be enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life! But Lin Yi didn't think that accompanying the Miss to school would be enough for him to eat and wear for the rest of his life.
"Ah? Oh, a mission … "Pengzhan looked at Lin Yi oddly." It's a very important mission, but the most important thing right now is for you to build a good relationship with Mengyao, that's the only way to ensure the success of the mission! "
"Wha?!" Lin Yi was startled. Build a good relationship with Mengyao? Only then could he carry out the mission? Just what kind of mission was this? Could it be that it had something to do with Mengyao? Could it be that there was someone behind the scenes who wanted to harm Mengyao, and Pengzhan wanted to use Mengyao as bait so that he could find the person behind the scenes?
That was the only thing Lin Yi could think of. Pengzhan's words didn't make sense, and he was still confused. But according to Lin Yi's experience in missions, most employers would keep their missions a secret. They wouldn't reveal the details until the very last moment.
