...

After leaving the hospital, Lin Yi originally intended to buy some traditional Chinese medicine at a pharmacy near the hospital. However, the prices at hospital pharmacies were generally high, so after some thought, he decided against it. Although he had some money and the bank card given to him by Chu Pengzhan, the Chinese medicine he needed was not ordinary; many ingredients cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Chu just called and said that if you have time, he asked me to take you to see him," Fu Bo said as they got into the car.

"Oh? Uncle Chu is looking for me? Then take me to visit Uncle Chu. As you know, Fu Bo, I don't have much to do besides going to school," Lin Yi said, not knowing what Chu Pengzhan wanted. Perhaps it was about the bank robbery, or maybe it was because of the conflict with Black Panther at school yesterday.

"Alright, I'll contact Mr. Chu right away," Fu Bo said, taking out his phone and calling Chu Pengzhan. He told Chu Pengzhan over the phone that they were on their way.

The security guard at the underground parking lot of Pengzhan Group recognized Fu Bo's Bentley. Before the car even approached, the guard lifted the barrier. Lin Yi didn't comment on the guard's flattering behavior.

Fu Bo's car was quite expensive, and finding an identical one with the same license plate to sneak in would take some effort. However, the robbers from the bank robbery were clearly not ordinary people and likely had others backing them.

Fortunately, even if they entered the underground parking lot, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the company, so Lin Yi didn't say anything more.

They took the elevator to Chu Pengzhan's office. Fu Bo knocked on the door and peeked inside. As Chu Pengzhan's closest confidant, he could freely enter and exit the office, even if there were others inside.

However, after a quick glance, Fu Bo closed the door and said to Lin Yi, who was waiting nearby, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Chu is in a meeting. We'll wait a moment?"

"Alright," Lin Yi nodded. As the chairman of a major corporation, Chu Pengzhan couldn't just sit around waiting for him. During this time, he could arrange many things: "I'll go to the restroom. Call me if anything comes up."

"Alright, Mr. Lin, the restroom is over there!" Fu Bo pointed in the direction opposite the chairman's office.

This floor was almost entirely occupied by the company's senior executives, each with their own private restroom, so the public restroom was naturally far from the chairman's office.

Lin Yi quickly walked towards the restroom. As he approached the door, he heard a man inside speaking in a low voice, apparently on the phone.

Lin Yi didn't intend to eavesdrop, and he had no interest in prying into others' privacy. However, his hearing was exceptionally sharp, and the man's mention of a name suddenly caught his attention!

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Chu Mengyao went to the bank to open an account. Who did you find to do the job? How did it go?" The man seemed very angry, but he tried to keep his voice low to avoid being overheard.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's exceptional hearing and his position at the restroom door, no one passing by would have understood what he was saying.

The man's repeated mention of "Chu Mengyao" had already raised Lin Yi's suspicions. Hearing him talk about the bank again made Lin Yi's heart sink even further!

Lin Yi stood calmly in front of the sink in the restroom, listening to the man inside.

"If you can't even handle this, how can I work with you? It's not a big deal; just keep Chu Mengyao under control for a few hours. When you talk to Chu Pengzhan about the contract, just hint that Chu Mengyao's situation is related to you. I'm sure the contract will be signed! Just a subtle hint; even if Chu Pengzhan, that old fox, gets angry, he'll keep quiet for his precious daughter's safety!" The man was clearly very upset.

"Hmph, did anything go wrong with this operation... What? You don't know where the people you hired are now? Damn, how can I work with a pig like you?" The man cursed: "Alright, I'll try to get information from the police. You should also clean up any loose ends. If necessary... you know what I mean, right?"

"Ring—" The classic Nokia ringtone suddenly sounded, and the man in the restroom abruptly stopped talking, clearly startled.

Lin Yi was also startled! His phone was ringing, and he smiled bitterly, realizing he had alerted the man. It would be difficult to hear anything more.

As Lin Yi expected, the man in the restroom was indeed very startled. The top-floor public restroom was rarely used because the executives on this floor had their own private restrooms. Only visitors and maintenance staff used the public restroom, which was why he chose to make the call here.

Most of the time, this restroom was only cleaned in the morning and evening, and no one used it during the day.

Lin Yi reluctantly took out his phone and saw it was Fu Bo's number. He directly hung up and muttered to himself: "Brother Junhua, it's me, Xiaoliang, Li Xiaoliang! I'm at Pengzhan Group, but I can't find you. Which floor are you on... I'm already on the top floor. I thought all the executives were on the top floor. You're a business manager, so I came up here to find you... What? On the third floor? Alright, I'll go down... I was just about to use the restroom! What? The top floor is all the big bosses? Then I won't go up. I'll go down and talk to you!"

As he spoke, Lin Yi walked out of the restroom and headed towards Chu Pengzhan's office. On the other end, Fu Bo didn't think much of it when he saw Lin Yi hang up, as Lin Yi was just using the restroom and would naturally come back to see Chu Pengzhan.

The man in the restroom, hearing Lin Yi's voice fade away, breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Damn, just a visitor. Scared me to death. Looking for a business manager on the top floor? What a joke. This guy is a fool; doesn't he know that salespeople call themselves business managers to sound important?"

Hearing Lin Yi's voice grow fainter, the man knew Lin Yi had left and resumed his call, but this time he was much more cautious, speaking in a lower voice...
