âDamn!â
Gu Yiran could not control herself and cursed in pain.
âDoes it hurt a lot?â Lin Yi said in surprise.
âPeople always say that girls with body hair feel pain when tape is ripped off.
Iâm really sorry, I didnât know you had body hair.â
âWhy would I have body hair? It doesnât hurt at allâ¦â
Gu Yiran gritted er teeth.
âItâs fine as long as it doesnât hurt. Itâs good to have no body hair, so it must not hurt at all.â
The remaining three could not help but laugh. The grudge between the two of them would not be resolved anytime soon.
âAs for Zhang Hao and Wang Jia, I think we can leave them hanging for a few days, play a bit of psychological warfare, and then approach them after we investigate the clues,â Zhang Hui said.
âBut you all need to hurry and not overlook any leads.â
âUnderstood!â
After arranging the follow-up plan, Li Xianghui looked at his watch and realized that it was already past two in the morning. Tiredness filled his body and he yawned.
âThatâs all for today. Weâll continue tomorrow.â
Everyone was also exhausted and did not continue arguing.
Zhang Hui and Gao Mingjun went to the dormitory at the police station. Lin Yi, Li Xianghui, and Gu Yiran chose to go home.
However, Lin Yi did not return to the Jiuzhou Pavilion. Instead, he went to Huaqing Lake, enjoyed a massage, and slept comfortably. He only woke up at ten the next morning.
When he arrived at the police station, he realized that there was no one there. He did not know what they were doing.
After making a phone call, it turned out that Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran had both gone to help out.
Originally, Lin Yi wanted to go and see for himself, but with all four of them there, they probably didnât need extra hands. So, he decided not to go and planned to slack off a bit in the office while also organizing the caseâs clues. Although there were still many doubts, as long as Zhang Hui and Gao Mingjun could find some clues, many problems could be easily solved.
At around one in the afternoon, after lunch, Zhang Peng arrived at Lin Yiâs office.
âBrother Lin, did something happen?â
âWhatâs the matter?â
âThe marketing director of Tesla Terra-Pakcik called me and said he wanted to see you.â
âSee me?â Zhang Peng nodded and said.
âI think itâs because of the case a few days ago. Didnât the female car owner named Yang Bing want to sue them? They might be afraid and want to settle.â âThen why are you looking for me? It has nothing to do with me.â
âBut your relationship with that woman named Yang Bing seems quite ambiguous. Tracing back to the source, it all leads to you.â
âF*ck, what do you mean by weâre quite ambiguous? We canât even be considered friends.â
âBrother Lin, stop fooling around. I can feel that sheâs interested in you.â Zhang Peng said maliciously.
âI feel that thereâs something fishy going on between the two of you.â
âI have a girlfriend.â
âSister-in-lawâs looks are unquestionable, but as a man, I understand such things. Thereâs no need to explain so much. No matter how beautiful she is, there will be a day when you can get tired of her.â
âBut who told you that you only have one sister-in-law?â
âWhat the f*ck?!â Zhang Peng was shocked. âI thought you were one level higher than us. I didnât expect you to be standing in the stratosphere.â
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He didnât know how he would feel if he was told that he had four sisters-in-law.
âAlright, stop arguing,â Lin Yi said.
âTell me about Tesla. What did he say?â
âHe called us and said that he wanted to meet you at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at two in the afternoon.â
âThatâs quite a high standard. Iâm surprised he wants to meet at the Ritz- Carlton.â Lin Yi rubbed his chin. âIs she a female executive?â
âMale.â
âThen who the hell is going?â Lin Yi said. âI thought they were going to throw some âpink bombsâ my way.â
âBrother Lin, stop joking around, weâre people of status, we need to be careful with our words,â Zhang Peng said.
âBesides, anyone who has made it to an executive position is at least over 40, which probably isnât very nice.â
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Peng in surprise. âYou even know this? Did you experience it yourself?â
âF*ck, you canât mock me like that.â
Lin Yi laughed. âTell them Iâll be there in the afternoon.â
âDo you need us to come with you?â
âItâs not a big deal. Iâll go myself.â
âAlright, Iâll go back and reply to him.â
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was almost time, and he prepared to go over and check things out.
The reason why Lin Yi was willing to go over was because he wanted to defend the people.
This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, but he didnât like such a pretentious company.
They were earning money from the Huaxians but did not care about their safety.
A company like this could not be kept around.
After packing up, Lin Yi drove to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
As soon as she entered, she was stopped by a uniformed woman at the door.
âExcuse me, are you Mr. Lin Yi?â
âThatâs me.â Lin Yi glanced at the woman. âAre you from Tesla?â
âIâm Director Zhaoâs secretary. We were waiting for you to come over.â
âLetâs go.â
Although it was business, the secretary couldnât help but take a few more glances at Lin Yi. This person was really handsome.
Soon, Lin Yi was brought to the private room on the third floor.
The private room was very large, measuring about 50 square meters. There was a large round table filled with dishes.
Although he didnât know how it tasted, he definitely had enough cards.
On the inner side of the dining table sat a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly plump and wore a blue suit. He had a smile on his face and looked very amiable.
It was not difficult to guess that this man was Teslaâs marketing director of the Terra-Pakcik region.
In addition, there were four good-looking women sitting on both sides of him.
They were very pleasing to the eye.
Lin Yi pursed his lips. Was he trying to set a trap for him?
âMr. Lin, youâre finally here. Iâve been waiting for you for a long time.â
The middle-aged man stood up from his chair and extended his hand enthusiastically.
âLet me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Fenghua. Iâm Teslaâs marketing director of the Terra-Pakcik region. Iâm also the deputy director of global marketing.â
âMr. Lin.â
After Zhao Fenghua finished speaking, the girls sitting next to him stood up and greeted Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded. âYou can ask these people to leave. We can talk alone. Thereâs no need for them to stay here.â
Zhao Fenghua was surprised. Lin Yiâs actions exceeded his expectations. Pretending to ignore them and chasing them away were two different concepts. âMr. Lin, please donât misunderstand, I didnât invite them over for any other reason but to pour drinks and liven up the atmosphere. Please donât overthink it.â
Unknowingly, Zhao Fenghua had started using honorifics, sensing that Lin Yi might not be so easy to deal with.
âWith this kind of looks and figure, you expect them to dine and drink with me? Do you think I havenât seen the world?â
