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 by what kind of friend could make Captain Yang lose his composure, she didn't ask further.

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

Lin Yi nodded, not being polite, and directly walked over, opened the passenger door, and got 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: "I'm fine. A few gang members caused trouble at school, and I dealt with them. The police questioned me and then let me go."

"That's good." Chu Pengzhan nodded, "Thank you for helping Yaoyao! I just heard from Li Fu about what happened yesterday. You did well!"

"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 Yaoyao? Has she tried to drive you away?" Chu Pengzhan thought of his daughter and felt a headache coming on.

"No, Yaoyao is still 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 only loved her. If he said anything bad, he might get fired, so Lin Yi praised Chu Mengyao appropriately.

Uncle Fu listened to 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 very pleased, his face showing a gratified smile, "Yaoyao is actually a good girl, just a bit spoiled. You should 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 car yesterday, Lin Yi 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 don't want him to be distracted!" Chu Pengzhan nodded.

"Okay!" Lin Yi couldn't go 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 city for convenience, in the Pengzhan villa complex.

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

Chu Pengzhan's villa, however, was located in the suburbs, occupying a large piece of land. It was 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 entrance, Uncle Fu used a laser card to open the gate, which slowly opened.

Lin Yi glanced at the brand of the door opener, which was the most advanced rolling code system internationally. Even if the card was lent to someone else, it couldn't be copied. Each opening code was unique, calculated by the microcontroller in the card based on the code sent by the door system, and then fed back to the door system to complete the opening operation.

However, it wasn't impossible to crack, but Lin Yi didn't say anything, as this was already very secure in the civilian sector. If the incident from yesterday wasn't investigated, Lin Yi planned to make some security improvements to the villa where Chu Mengyao lived, as he couldn't guarantee being with her 24/7.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Uncle Fu got out to open 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, remembering that Chu Pengzhan had said Uncle Fu wasn't an outsider.

"He's going to park the car in the garage and then come back." Chu Pengzhan saw through Lin Yi's thoughts, smiled, and patted Lin Yi's 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. Since Chu Pengzhan said this, Uncle Fu must be a very trustworthy person.

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

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

This gesture made Lin Yi feel somewhat honored! He also increasingly felt that Chu Pengzhan was being overly close to him, almost like treating him as family rather than a subordinate.

"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 hint of discomfort, earned Chu Pengzhan's silent approval. Although he didn't know Lin Yi's past, Lin Yi seemed like someone who had seen the world.
