Chapter 062: Secret Discussion

Seeing Yang Huaijun, who had returned to his usual calm and composed self, Song Lingshan blinked oddly and finally couldn't help but ask, "Captain Yang, do you know Lin Yi?"

"He looks a lot like a friend of mine. I got excited and made a mistake," Yang Huaijun smiled. "Did I scare you?"

Since Lin Yi didn't want him to reveal his true identity, Yang Huaijun couldn't say too much.

"No..." Song Lingshan shook her head. Although she was surprised, she didn't ask further about what kind of friend could make Captain Yang lose his composure.

As Lin Yi came out of the police station, he was about to hail a taxi when he saw Uncle Fu's Bentley slowly pull up beside him. Uncle Fu poked his head out, "Mr. Lin, get in the car!"

Lin Yi nodded, didn't hesitate, and walked over to open the passenger door and sit in. To his surprise, he found a man sitting in the back seat—it was Chu Pengzhan!

"Uncle Chu, hello," Lin Yi greeted politely.

"Lin Yi, are you okay?" Chu Pengzhan's face showed a kind smile when he saw Lin Yi.

Lin Yi had always felt that Chu Pengzhan was a bit too good to him. Was there some hidden reason, or... But since Chu Pengzhan didn't say anything, Lin Yi didn't ask either. "I'm fine. A few gang members came to the school and caused trouble. I dealt with them, and the police let me go after understanding the situation."

"That's good." Chu Pengzhan nodded. "Rao Rao's incident, I'm very grateful to you! I just heard from Li Fu about what happened yesterday. You did a great job!"

"It's my duty," Lin Yi didn't think much of it. He had taken money from Chu Pengzhan, so he wasn't just doing it for nothing.

"By the way, how are you getting along with Rao Rao? She hasn't driven you away, has she?" Chu Pengzhan thought of his daughter and felt a headache coming on.

"No, Rao Rao is easy to get along with," Lin Yi smiled. He wouldn't complain about Chu Mengyao to Chu Pengzhan, as that would be a foolish move. No matter how mischievous Chu Mengyao was, Chu Pengzhan loved her deeply. If he said anything bad, he might get fired, so Lin Yi appropriately praised Chu Mengyao.

Uncle Fu, hearing Lin Yi's words, opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately didn't.

"Ha ha, you're getting along well?" Chu Pengzhan seemed pleased, his face showing a gratified smile. "Rao Rao is actually a good girl, just a bit spoiled. Just be more patient with her."

"Don't worry, Uncle Chu, I will," Lin Yi readily agreed. But thinking about what the bald man said in the robbers' car yesterday, he hesitated and decided to tell Chu Pengzhan. "Uncle Chu, there's something I think I should tell you."

"Oh?" Chu Pengzhan was taken aback, then smiled slightly. "What is it? Go ahead and say it!"

"It's about yesterday... the bank robbery..." Lin Yi said.

"Let's find a place to talk in detail. Although Uncle Fu isn't an outsider, he's driving, and I'm afraid he might get distracted!" Chu Pengzhan nodded.

"Okay!" Lin Yi realized he wouldn't be going to school today, so he decided not to go.

"Mr. Chu, are we going home?" Uncle Fu asked.

"Yes, home, to the bay villa," Chu Pengzhan instructed.

The bay villa was Chu Pengzhan's private residence, but because he was often busy with business, it was mostly empty. Chu Mengyao lived in the Pengzhan villa complex in the city for convenience in attending school.

This villa complex was also developed by Chu Pengzhan's Pengzhan Group. Of course, Chu Mengyao lived there mainly because Chen Yushu also lived there. The two had been best friends since elementary school, with a bond that couldn't be broken.

Chu Pengzhan's villa, on the other hand, was located in the suburbs, occupying a large area of land surrounded by green lawns and flowers, with a road leading to the main building.

Of course, this was private property, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. At the gate, Uncle Fu used a laser card to open the gate, which slowly opened.

Lin Yi glanced at the brand of the door mechanism, which was the most advanced rolling code system internationally. Even if the card was lent to someone else, it couldn't be replicated. Each opening code was unique, calculated by the microcontroller in the card based on the code emitted by the door system.

However, it wasn't impossible to crack, but Lin Yi didn't mention this because it was already very secure in the civilian sector. If the incident from yesterday wasn't resolved, Lin Yi planned to enhance the security of the villa where Chu Mengyao lived. He couldn't guarantee being with her 24/7.

The car stopped in front of the villa. Uncle Fu got out and opened the doors for Chu Pengzhan and Lin Yi. After they got out, he returned to the car.

"Isn't Uncle Fu coming in with us?" Lin Yi asked, recalling that Chu Pengzhan had said Uncle Fu wasn't an outsider.

"He's going to park the car in the garage and will come back," Chu Pengzhan saw through Lin Yi's thoughts, smiled, and patted his shoulder. "Li Fu has been with me for over ten years. If I'm not around and there's an emergency, you can talk to Uncle Fu directly!"

Lin Yi nodded. If Chu Pengzhan said so, Uncle Fu must be very trustworthy.

The interior of the villa wasn't luxurious, at least not gilded and ornate, but rather elegant and classical. It was clear that Chu Pengzhan had good taste, unlike the typical nouveau riche.

"Sit anywhere, don't be formal, make yourself at home," Chu Pengzhan personally brought out a pair of slippers for Lin Yi and placed them in front of him.

This gesture made Lin Yi feel somewhat honored! But it also made him wonder if Chu Pengzhan was being too close. It didn't seem like the way to treat a subordinate, but more like treating a family member.

"Thank you, Uncle Chu." Lin Yi didn't act overly formal, thanked him, and put on the slippers.

Lin Yi's calm and composed demeanor, without any signs of discomfort, earned Chu Pengzhan's silent approval. Although he didn't know Lin Yi's past, he seemed like someone who had seen the world.
