Chapter 075: Chu Pengzhan's Analysis

Lin Yi originally intended to go into the restroom and directly drag this person to Chu Pengzhan's office. However, upon second thought, he realized that those working at the top level of the group were either vice-chairmen, general managers, or executive vice-presidents—none of them were small fry. Not only was it uncertain whether the person would admit to anything if dragged to Chu Pengzhan, but Lin Yi was also afraid that this person was not acting alone but was part of a group!

From the person's phone call, it was evident that he had many accomplices. Dragging him out directly might not reveal the others. Moreover, at the level of vice-president and above, it wasn't something Chu Pengzhan could handle with just a few words. Once a group reached a certain size, various factions would inevitably form. Chu Pengzhan was the largest shareholder, but he couldn't directly move against the people of other shareholders, and it was even possible that the person making the call was one of the other shareholders.

Therefore, Lin Yi made a quick decision to avoid alarming the person. He disguised himself as someone who had come to the group to handle business and had taken a wrong turn, so the man in the restroom wouldn't suspect anything.

Walking to the door of Chu Pengzhan's office, Lin Yi saw that the door was open. Uncle Fu was standing beside Chu Pengzhan, reporting something. Chu Pengzhan nodded continuously, a satisfied smile on his face. When he saw Lin Yi at the door, Chu Pengzhan smiled and lifted his head. "Xiao Yi, you're here. Come in and sit down!"

"Uncle Chu." As Lin Yi entered, he closed the office door behind him. He wanted to talk to Chu Pengzhan about what he had heard in the restroom.

"Xiao Yi, I heard that you had a conflict with some criminals from society yesterday?" After Lin Yi sat down on the sofa in front of the desk, Chu Pengzhan asked straightforwardly.

Lin Yi could tell that Chu Pengzhan wasn't asking in a confrontational manner but with genuine concern, which deeply moved him. He was just a personal tutor hired to accompany his daughter's studies and life, yet Chu Pengzhan cared so much about him, which was quite rare.

However, Lin Yi was also a bit puzzled. If it were someone else, they might have first talked about firing him to avoid implicating his daughter.

"Yes, that person was called by a classmate named Zhong Pinliang to deal with me." Lin Yi didn't hide anything and told Chu Pengzhan the truth. "But I think that Black Panther will take all the blame in the police station and won't implicate Zhong Pinliang."

"Oh? Zhong Pinliang? Do you have a conflict with him?" Chu Pengzhan was even more puzzled. Lin Yi had only been at school for a few days, so how did he end up with such an enemy? It seemed that the person Zhong Pinliang brought was a desperate thug, even pulling out a gun.

"Ha—" Lin Yi smiled bitterly. "I guess it's partly my fault..."

"Mr. Chu, let me explain." Uncle Fu saw that Lin Yi didn't mention Chu Mengyao, so he knew Lin Yi was being considerate. As Chu Pengzhan's confidant, he had no intention of hiding anything and spoke truthfully.

"Oh? You know?" Chu Pengzhan was surprised that Uncle Fu also knew about the conflict between Lin Yi and Zhong Pinliang.

"Mr. Chu, the situation is like this..." Uncle Fu nodded with a bitter smile. "That day, when Miss first met Mr. Lin, she was not very satisfied with Mr. Lin being her shield, so she proposed a test. Coincidentally, Zhong Pinliang was Miss's suitor and had been pestering her, so Miss asked Mr. Lin to deal with Zhong Pinliang..."

"Alright, no need to continue. I understand!" Chu Pengzhan nodded with a bitter smile. In the end, it was all due to his precious daughter's mischief. "Xiao Yi, Mengyao likes to cause trouble, but don't indulge her. She needs someone to discipline her. Next time, don't go along with her mischief. This time, it almost turned into a big deal. If it weren't for your skills, who knows what might have happened!"

"Hehe, Uncle Chu, I'm fine," Lin Yi said honestly. He didn't really take Black Panther seriously; such a small fry would be cannon fodder on the front lines, utterly useless.

"Zhong Pinliang, I think I should talk to Principal Ding about this. A student with such character shouldn't be allowed to stay in the school." Chu Pengzhan was very angry with Zhong Pinliang.

"Mr. Chu, Zhong Pinliang is Director Jin's nephew..." Uncle Fu, who had records of such trivial matters, immediately reminded him.

"Oh?" Chu Pengzhan frowned, not expecting Zhong Pinliang to have such a connection. Although Chu Pengzhan was the chairman and largest shareholder of Pengzhan Group, there were still many other shareholders on the board. While they didn't have as many shares as Chu Pengzhan, they still had significant influence. Therefore, Chu Pengzhan couldn't afford to offend other directors over such trivial matters.

Pengzhan Group was one of the shareholders of the First High School, so Director Jin was also a shareholder of the First High School. This made it difficult for Principal Ding to act. Chu Pengzhan thought for a moment and, considering that high school graduation was not far off, decided to abandon the idea of dealing with Zhong Pinliang.

"Uncle Chu, you don't need to worry. After this incident, Zhong Pinliang will likely behave himself in school." Lin Yi didn't take him seriously at all.

"En, Xiao Yi, I'm really sorry... Although I lead a group, there are many things I can't control!" Chu Pengzhan sighed.

"Uncle Chu, I was just about to talk to you about this." Seeing that Chu Pengzhan had brought up the topic of company operations, Lin Yi didn't need to find a pretext and directly said, "Uncle Chu, have you figured out what happened with the bank robbery the other day?"

"Right now, we only suspect that something is unusual, but we haven't found any leads." Chu Pengzhan didn't hide anything. "We have confirmed that they were targeting Mengyao, and the bank robbery was just a pretext. They didn't act against Mengyao earlier or later, but specifically when I was out of town on business. This motive is suspicious!"

Lin Yi inwardly praised Chu Pengzhan. Indeed, as the leader of a large group, he could deduce these things from the smallest clues, which was quite impressive. His suspicions were not far from the truth.

"My first reaction was that someone was trying to extort money, but it didn't feel right. Considering the abnormal behavior of the other party during my business trip, I have a vague feeling that it might be related to them." Chu Pengzhan didn't hide anything from Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was now close to his daughter, and sharing his suspicions would allow Lin Yi to prepare in advance, just in case.
