Lin Yi originally intended to drag the man directly to Chu Pengzhan's office after entering the restroom, but then he thought, those who work on the top floor of this group are either vice-chairmen, general managers, or executive vice-presidents. None of them are small potatoes. Not to mention whether the man would admit to anything if Lin Yi dragged him to Chu Pengzhan, Lin Yi was more afraid that this man wasn't alone but part of a group!

From the person he was calling, it was clear 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 reaches a certain size, many factions inevitably form. Chu Pengzhan is the largest shareholder, but he can't directly take action against other shareholders. It's even possible that the person making the call is another shareholder.

So, Lin Yi, thinking of this, made a quick decision. To avoid alarming the snake, he pretended to be someone who had come to the group for business and had entered the wrong floor. This way, 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." Lin Yi closed the office door as he entered, wanting to talk to Chu Pengzhan about what he had heard in the restroom.

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

Lin Yi could tell that Chu Pengzhan wasn't asking in a confrontational tone 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 would probably first talk about firing him to avoid implicating his daughter.

"Yes, the 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 to school for a few days, how did he end up with such an enemy? It seemed that the Zhong Pinliang who came after him was a desperate thug, even pulling out a gun.

"Ha—" Lin Yi smiled bitterly: "This is partly my fault…"

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

"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 smiled bitterly and nodded: "That day, Miss was not satisfied with Mr. Lin being her shield, so she proposed a test. Coincidentally, Zhong Pinliang is one of Miss's suitors, who has been纠缠着小姐, so Miss asked Mr. Lin to deal with Zhong Pinliang…"

"Alright, no need to continue. I get the gist of it!" Chu Pengzhan also smiled bitterly and shook his head. In the end, this 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 pranks. 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 really didn't take Black Panther seriously. Such a small fry would be cannon fodder in any real situation, completely useless.

"This Zhong Pinliang, I think I should talk to Principal Ding. A student with such character shouldn't be allowed to stay in the school." Chu Pengzhan was very annoyed 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 many other shareholders on the board. While they didn't have as many shares as Chu Pengzhan, they still had significant influence. So, Chu Pengzhan couldn't afford to offend other directors over such trivial matters.

Pengzhan Group is one of the shareholders of the First High School, so Director Jin is also a shareholder of the First High School. This made it difficult for Principal Ding to take action. Chu Pengzhan thought for a moment and, given that high school graduation was not far off, decided to abandon the idea of adjusting Zhong Pinliang's position.

"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 went straight to the point: "Uncle Chu, have you figured out what happened with the bank robbery?"

"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 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 that didn't seem right. Considering the unusual behavior of the other party during my business trip, I have a vague feeling that this 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.
