Chapter 2061: Chapter 2061: A Strange Move

“Yes, yes, those eyes were particularly seductive,” Xu Pingping continued to speak enthusiastically.

“Mr. Lin, you know, I’ve worked at the bathhouse for over four years and have seen all sorts of men, but his eyes left a deep impression on me. I’m sure of it.”

“Is it really that crazy?” Zhang Zixin asked skeptically, thinking that Xu Pingping might be exaggerating.

“You might not believe it, but I’m quite experienced in this,” Xu Pingping replied.

“Look at Mr. Lin’s eyes; they scream masculinity. The first time I saw him, I was awestruck by his gaze. I wanted to seduce him, but I didn’t dare. But that little lawyer is different. If he were a woman, he’d definitely be a temptress.”

After listening to Xu Pingping’s response, Lin Yi took out his phone, found a picture, and handed it to her.

“Is this the lawyer you’re talking about?”

Seeing the photo on Lin Yi’s phone, Xu Pingping was shocked.

“Yes, yes, that’s him! Mr. Lin, how do you have his picture?”

Hearing this, both Lin Yi and Zhang Zixin felt a wave of realization.

They hadn’t previously connected the dots, but now they understood that the lawyer handling Zhang Guoping’s case was Sui Xin’s boyfriend!

What seemed like unrelated individuals were now connected through this relationship.

There were more hidden connections to uncover.

“Brother Lin, I think we should investigate this Wang Mingyang,” Zhang Zixin suggested.

Lin Yi nodded and then stood up, turning to Xu Pingping.

“I don’t want you to talk about today’s conversation. You know who I am and what I can do, so don’t do anything foolish.”

Xu Pingping shivered. She had heard many stories about Lin Yi at the bathhouse.

Though the details varied, the common thread was that he was wealthy and influential.

She had heard from the security staff that his car alone was worth over a billion yuan. Even if Zhang Guoping was well-off, he was nothing compared to Lin Yi.

She knew better than to cross someone like him.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lin. I won’t say a word to anyone about today.”

Lin Yi nodded. “Good to hear that.”

Ring ring ring!

Just then, Xu Pingping’s phone rang.

Initially, Lin Yi didn’t pay much attention, but when he glanced at the caller ID, he saw it was Zhang Guoping. He decided to pause and told Xu Pingping,

“Answer the call and see what he wants.”

“Alright.”

Xu Pingping quickly agreed, answering the call and putting it on speaker.

“Hello, darling.”

She said in a sweet, flirtatious tone, causing Zhang Zixin to cringe.

“I’ve got great news,” Zhang Guoping said happily, clearly in a good mood.

“My wife has agreed to the divorce and signed the papers. From now on, she and I have nothing to do with each other. We can finally be together openly.”

The three of them reacted differently to this news.

Xu Pingping was thrilled, her face lighting up with joy.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Zhang Zixin were puzzled.

They had met Pang Lanjun and knew she wasn’t the type to give in easily. It was hard to believe she would agree to a divorce at this time.

“Wasn’t that old hag refusing to agree before? How did you convince her to sign the papers?”

“She didn’t have a choice. I wanted a divorce, and there’s nothing she could do about it,” Zhang Guoping laughed.

“But we owe a lot to Little Wang. He gave me plenty of good advice, and my wife had no choice but to sign the divorce agreement.”

“That’s fantastic! I think we should treat Little Wang to a meal. If it weren’t for him, this wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

“I was thinking the same. Do you have any plans right now? If not, let’s go have dinner with him to celebrate,” Zhang Guoping suggested.

“After all, we still need his help with the inheritance distribution.”

“I’m out shopping, but I’ll head back soon. Just wait for me.”

“Great! Hurry back. I can’t stand being apart from you for even a minute.”

“Oh, you! I’ll be there soon!”

Xu Pingping said before ending the call. Her flirtatious smile vanished, replaced by a more respectful expression as she looked at Lin Yi.

“Mr. Lin, Zhang Guoping is asking me to go back. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out.”

“I might need to contact you again, so keep your phone on.”

“No problem. Just call me anytime.”

Lin Yi nodded, “We’re leaving now.”

“Alright.”

The three of them left the café, and Lin Yi drove away with Zhang Zixin.

“Brother Lin, where are we going? This doesn’t seem like the way back to the station.”

“We’re heading to the hospital. There’s something we forgot to investigate.”

“What are you looking into?”

“I want to check the ICU’s surveillance footage again. We might find some clues.”

“But we already checked it before and didn’t find anything.”

“Let’s look again. I used to work in a hospital, so I might notice details you missed,” Lin Yi explained.

“What kind of details are you looking for, Brother Lin?”

“Regarding Li Wenguang’s death. The cause is still unclear, and the surveillance footage is our only lead, so we need to review it again to avoid missing anything.”

“Understood.”

Soon, they arrived at the hospital and found Li Zhiyong.

“Officer Lin, you’re back.”

Seeing Lin Yi and Zhang Zixin again, Li Zhiyong was a bit nervous. He had thought that after the morning’s investigation, the matter was settled. He hadn’t expected them to return.

“Don’t worry. We’re just here to check the surveillance footage.”

“That’s no problem. I’ll bring it up for you right away.”

Following Lin Yi’s instructions, Li Zhiyong pulled up the footage from that day.

The duo watched intently, hoping to find something they had previously overlooked.

To ensure nothing was missed, Lin Yi and Zhang Zixin watched the footage from the moment Li Wenguang was wheeled into the ICU, not wanting to overlook any details.

From observing the footage, Lin Yi noticed that about two hours after Li Wenguang was brought into the ICU, he regained consciousness.

Judging by his condition, Lin Yi estimated that with another 48 hours of observation, he would likely be discharged. It was unclear why something went wrong.

“Do you remember Li Wenguang’s condition at the time?”

Lin Yi asked Li Zhiyong to confirm his thoughts.

“I do. The surgery went well, and his condition was stable. After he regained consciousness, I checked him over and found nothing alarming, so I went to rest,” Li Zhiyong explained.

“Based on my experience, with his condition, he should have been ready for discharge after 48 to 72 hours of observation. I didn’t expect anything like this to happen.”

Lin Yi nodded but said nothing more. He continued watching the footage.

Around 5 a.m., Lin Yi noticed something unusual.

Zhang Lele seemed to have gone to the restroom and wasn’t in the ICU room.

At that moment, only Sui Xin was in the ICU.

She was holding some papers and went to Li Wenguang’s side, saying something to him. He then took a pen, wrote something on the paper, and lay back down to rest.

This simple action aroused Lin Yi’s suspicion.
