Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Golden Tycoon (5)
 

“Boss, I checked, the information from Lin Feng is legit, it was sent by our people, and several others received it too, as a mass text.”

The man in the backseat grunted in response.

“Lin Feng should be fine; he is the closest… it’s just Chuzheng…”

The speaker hesitated.

For Chuzheng, a woman, to be addressed as ‘sister’ by them showed the extent of her capabilities.

“Do you think she would betray me?” the Boss asked in a deep voice.

The person in front couldn’t give a guarantee; they were in the Dark, having seen too much, human nature… is very easy to change.

“We must find out who the mole is this time,” the Boss said, obviously in a bad mood.

“Boss, rest assured, I will find out!”

Ding-dong—

A text message alert.

The Boss took his phone out of his coat pocket, opened the message; it was from an unknown number.

[Lin Feng has betrayed you. He aims to take your place.]

The Boss glanced forward, both the driver and the person in the passenger seat kept their eyes straight ahead, nothing amiss.

[Who are you?]

[A good person.]

The Boss replied again, but there was no further movement from the other side.

The Boss certainly wouldn’t trust a message from an unknown source.

“Keep a close watch on both Chuzheng and Lin Feng,” after a pause, the Boss added another sentence: “And Lin Yan.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“Boss, I have another question.”

The Boss gestured for him to continue.

“The people who ambushed us…” They died mysteriously, and no one knew who did it, which felt quite uneasy.

The Boss glanced at his phone: “If the other party has made a move, they won’t hide for long, just wait and see.”

–

Chuzheng discarded a disposable card and put a new phone back in her pocket.

Ah Hua drove up in a car: “Sister Chuzheng, heading back?”

“Mhm.”

“Then I’ll drive you.”

Having someone drive her, Chuzheng gladly accepted.

“Sister Chuzheng, the Boss must be doubting you,” Ah Hua started talking as soon as she got in the car: “I believe you have nothing to do with this, but why were you at the scene?”

“Someone messaged me,” Chuzheng stuck with the same story.

Ah Hua glanced at Chuzheng: “Sister Chuzheng… that explanation may not fly with the Boss. Don’t think he hasn’t said anything; he definitely knows what’s up, you should be careful these days…”

“Mhm.”

Seeing Chuzheng reluctant to talk, Ah Hua tactfully closed his mouth.

After driving a distance, the car suddenly stopped.

Chuzheng looked around, they hadn’t reached where the original host lived.

Why stop here?

“Sister Chuzheng? We’re here,” Ah Hua reminded Chuzheng: “Is there something else?”

“No.”

Ah Hua then realized and got out of the car to open the door for Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: “…”

Chuzheng got out of the car, still puzzled.

“Sister Chuzheng, I’ll head back now,” Ah Hua waved at Chuzheng: “If the Boss has any news, I’ll let you know.”

Chuzheng: “…”

What’s the point of dumping me here!

What happened to driving me home!

It took Chuzheng a while to recall from the original host’s memory why this happened.

The original host never let anyone know where she lived… that’s not right, Lin Feng and Lin Yan knew.

The original host was somewhat familiar with Ah Hua, every time she took his car, she would have him drop her off at a public square.

So it was the same this time.

Chuzheng sighed.

Why go through such trouble late at night.

Chuzheng thought about finding a hotel to sleep, but that didn’t seem right; she decided to go home for a visit.

The original host’s two-story apartment was simply decorated with not many belongings.

Chuzheng turned on all the lights in the apartment and began a late-night search through drawers and cabinets.

Why is my life so bitter!

Sometimes Lin Feng and Lin Yan would come here, incidentally framing and setting traps, which was very easy for them.

Chuzheng indeed found two items.

A bank card not in the original owner’s memory.

And a cell phone, which, apart from a few text messages, was empty.

Those text messages were related to the attack tonight.

The bastards dared to frame me!

Chuzheng lay down on the sofa—time to sleep first, deal with it tomorrow.

[…]

Being bold.

That’s good.

–

On the other side.

Lin Feng didn’t dare go to the Boss to plead innocence; it was best to act as if nothing happened, keep on doing what he was supposed to do.

Lin Feng thought, even if the Boss investigated, it shouldn’t link back to him.

The only suspect thing about him was his presence at the scene.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Lin Feng drove to Lin Yan’s residence.

Lin Yan had just come back too, and as soon as he entered, she hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

Lin Feng tugged at his tie, “I don’t know, those people are all dead.”

“What?!”

“Why are you shouting?” Lin Feng frowned, and Lin Yan immediately fell silent. Lin Feng recounted the evening’s events to Lin Yan, “The Boss now suspects me and Chuzheng.”

Lin Yan didn’t understand, “Why would she be there?”

“That’s what I want to ask you.” Lin Feng said, “How did you handle things?”

“I… I took care of everything.” Lin Yan said aggrievedly, “I saw it with my own eyes; you saw her drink that water too. You put the drug in it. She wouldn’t wake up until tomorrow morning at least. Why would she appear there, how would I know?”

Lin Feng seemed to recall something.

They’d gone through so much trouble to abduct Chuzheng, afraid she’d have an alibi.

They hadn’t killed the Boss yet, so they could push her out to be the scapegoat.

But they’d never expected her to show up at the scene.

“Something’s not right about this.”

Lin Yan: “Could someone have helped her?”

Lin Feng frowned, “The only one she’s close to in the organization is Ah Hua, but Ah Hua has been with the Boss all the time, who could help her?”

They knew almost everything about Chuzheng’s life.

They were clear about her hobbies, her friends.

Lin Yan clutched Lin Feng’s hand, “Brother, do you think she knows…”

Lin Feng, thinking about Chuzheng’s gaze and her last words, felt uneasy.

Lin Feng: “Don’t overthink, we’ve never shown our faces in what we did, no one will know.”

Lin Yan’s heart was in turmoil, “But…”

Lin Feng: “Alright, I’ll find a chance to test her.”

Lin Yan: “What about the Boss?”

Lin Feng: “I’m less suspicious than her, besides, haven’t we already set things up beforehand?”

Lin Yan and Lin Feng looked at each other for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

Large raindrops beat against the window, pattering loudly.

The emotions of Lin Yan and Lin Feng surged up and down with the rain, staying awake all night.

–

Chuzheng was awakened by the cold, she propped herself up on the couch, the curtains fluttered in the wind, the sky was foggy, the rain pattered against the glass.

Chuzheng glanced at the time.

Seven o’clock in the morning.

She slumped on the couch for a while, packing up the things on the table, and had just changed her clothes when the doorbell rang.

Standing at the door was the Boss, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

He looked refreshed, seemingly unaffected by last night’s events.

As the head of the organization, knowing where his subordinates live didn’t seem problematic.

But early in the morning…

Those who didn’t know might think it’s creepy, right?

“Morning, join me for breakfast,” the Boss said with a touch of a smile, akin to a kindly elder inviting a junior for a meal.
