Chapter 4

Listening to Yang Zhen's words, Lin Yixiang's eyes flashed.

Yang Zhen lowered his head in shame and continued, "Xiaoxiang, please, I'm begging you. I have liver cancer and I need money."

Lin Yixiang's heart sank. He hadn't expected that Brother Yang would have cancer.

He was also weighing his options.

Brother Yang needed money, and he needed it too.

He and his girlfriend were getting married. Her family was very wealthy, and people outside said he was a gold digger. His father-in-law even ordered him to quit his job and work for his company, saying that was the only way to make big money.

But he didn't want everything to be arranged for him. He wanted to forge his own path.

And only with money could he do that.

So, after Yang Zhen's hint, he was tempted.

Today, Fenghua International was only 0.2 yuan, but tomorrow it would rise to 1.2 yuan, a difference of 1 yuan!

If he borrowed some money and invested it, he could instantly become a millionaire.

Then his father-in-law, his girlfriend, and everyone around him would look at him differently.

"Let's do it!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Yixiang remained silent. He scanned the room, and the others were busy with their own tasks.

He calmly turned back and started operating the computer, deleting the recent segment.

Chen Anlin didn't pay attention to their actions because he knew what would happen next.

At that moment, Chen Anlin had already gone out and called his superior, Li Guang.

Li Guang was downstairs smoking, thinking about something very important. His relationship with his wife had recently become very strained, and it was clear that his wife had someone else.

Who was the man with his wife? Was his wife tired every night?

Ding ling ling...

The phone rang, interrupting Li Guang's thoughts.

He looked at the caller—it was the new team member, Chen Lixin.

"Lixin, what's up?"

"Sir, where are you? I have something to report."

"I'm downstairs."

"I'll come to you."

A moment later, Chen Anlin came downstairs and said to Li Guang, "Sir, I have something very important to report, about Brother Yang and Lin Yixiang."

"What could they have done?"

"Just now, I secretly saw Lin Yixiang delete a segment of the conversation between Luo Yaoming and his secretary. It seemed to be about insider information on Fenghua International's stock price tomorrow," Chen Anlin reported.

"What, they're that bold."

Li Guang's eyes narrowed. As a police officer, breaking the law was unacceptable.

"Chen Lixin, is what you just said true? You should know that falsely accusing a colleague is a serious matter, and you might be kicked out of the police force!"

Chen Anlin was not intimidated at all. After all, in his previous life, he was an adult and had even died from an illness, so his mental fortitude was strong.

He said firmly, "I wouldn't lie about something like this, Sir. You can check the recording from just now. It's definitely been deleted, but with the technical department's capabilities, it can be restored quickly."

Li Guang looked deeply at Chen Anlin and nodded. "Alright, let's go upstairs and check."

In the room, Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang acted as if nothing had happened and continued working.

Li Guang said to Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang, "You two, step aside."

"Sir Li, what's going on?" Yang Zhen's tone was not very good.

"Step aside when I tell you to."

Li Guang raised his voice.

"Old Yang, Xiaoxiang, step aside." Liang Junyi walked in and said, then turned to Li Guang, "What's the matter? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

"I'm just doing my job."

Li Guang knew that Liang Junyi was the leader of their team and had a good relationship with them, so he didn't say it outright.

He then arranged for two team members to check the recent recording. Sure enough, there was a gap in the conversation between Luo Yaoming and his secretary.

"Why is there a gap in this recording?"

Li Guang looked at Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang, thinking that Chen Anlin was right, and these two were indeed problematic.

"Poor signal, it didn't record. That's normal."

Yang Zhen tried to argue.

After all, if they were found to have tampered with evidence, they would not only be kicked out of the police force but could also face charges for obstructing justice.

More importantly, he still wanted to make a fortune from the stock market and leave a fortune for his family!

"Old Yang, you're an old hand in the police force. You should know how serious it is to break the law. You say it's a poor signal, fine, but are you willing to have it checked by the technical department?"

If it were sent to the technical department, their deletion of the recording would definitely be exposed, so Yang Zhen panicked.

"Xiaoxiang, tell the truth." Li Guang frowned.

"Uh... this matter..."

Lin Yixiang knew he couldn't hide it anymore and said helplessly, "It's my fault. I heard Luo Yaoming and his secretary say that Fenghua International's stock price would rise to 1.2 tomorrow. I... I was tempted."

"Hmph! Xiaoxiang, do you know how much I looked forward to you, and you actually..."

Li Guang threw the file in frustration.

"Sir Li, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. After all, they are in my team..."

Liang Junyi wanted to protect them and continued, "Give them a chance. After all, nothing serious has happened."

"Lin Yixiang, Yang Zhen, you two are suspended. Cooperate with the investigation."

Now, the plot had changed dramatically.

Chen Anlin stroked his chin, thinking that although he had betrayed them, he had also saved them.

In the movie, because of their greed, Yang Zhen's entire family died, and Lin Yixiang was kidnapped. By the time Liang Junyi found out, Lin Yixiang was already dead.

Now, although they were suspended, at least they wouldn't pay a greater price.

"Next, we move on to the next step."

After Lin Yixiang and Yang Zhen left.

Now, Chen Anlin, Liang Junyi, and a newly transferred girl were in charge of monitoring.

"Lixin, was it you who reported them?" Liang Junyi asked after a while.

Chen Anlin didn't deny it and said frankly, "Yes, I did. I did it for their own good. If they were found out, the charges would be much more serious. Now, they'll just face some disciplinary action."

"You're right, but you should have told me first," Liang Junyi said.

Chen Anlin shook his head. "Brother Liang, you couldn't make up your mind about your relationship with Sir Li's wife. Do you think you would have acted justly when Brother Yang and Xiaoxiang knelt and begged you?"

In the movie, Liang Junyi was the first to discover that the two were secretly trading stocks.

He originally wanted to persuade them to stop, but Yang Zhen knelt before him and said he had liver cancer. In the end, Liang Junyi softened and let it slide.

Liang Junyi was stunned and looked at Chen Anlin in disbelief. "How did you know about my situation?"

Chen Anlin shrugged. "I just have a keen eye, Brother Liang. I know you and Sir Li are good brothers. I think it's best to clear things up with Sir Li's wife as soon as possible, so you don't lose your friendship."

Liang Junyi sighed. He realized he had misjudged this new colleague. His insight was sharp, and he might surpass him in the future.

"I'll consider your advice."

"Alright, let's get back to business. I think, based on the insider information Luo Yaoming and his secretary discussed today, we have enough reason to apply for a search warrant and look for evidence in Luo Yaoming's office."
