Chapter 258 - Suspecting That It Might Be An Insider
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Lin Yi drove behind Mengyaoâs Audi S5 silently as he kept an eye on the rear view mirror.
Someone was following him again- Li Cihuaâs men? A cold smile formed on Lin Yiâs lips as he recognized the car. It was the one that had followed him last time- did they think he wouldnât notice with tailing skills like that?
This Cihua person was quite interesting himself, sending more men after getting two of them killed that night.
Lin Yi didnât confront the stalkers and acted as if he didnât even know. He wouldnât mind giving them a car accident if they did anything suspicious.
Songshan Theme Park was located in the southern district of the city, built at the end of the year 2000. It had had a couple hundred million rmb invested in it, and was one of the most popular attractions within the city.
Mengyao parked her car in the underground parking lot of the theme park while Lin Yi parked to the side. He was following Mengyao into the elevator when he saw the black SUV that had been tailing them drive in as well- they didnât take a parking ticket, much to Lin Yiâs surprise, only showing a small plastic identification card at the counter.
Lin Yi found that odd- did the people in that car have some sort of connection to the themepark?
âYao Yao, is this theme park private or public?â Lin Yi asked.
âItâs a jointly owned attraction, both public and private. Why?â Mengyao didnât understand.
âJointly owned? Invested by what company?â Lin Yi continued, maintaining the topic.
âItâs Uncle Chuâs, Shield Bro!â Yushu said shortly.
âOh?â Lin Yi paused- so the people in that car were from Pengzhan Industries? That had to be the case, that was why they werenât charged for parking their car! It wasnât a military or police car, too, since it had a normal licence plate.
âDadâs company invested in it, but itâs being managed by a sub-company.â Mengyao explained.
âThen we could have free parking, right?â Lin Yi asked.
Mengyao looked at Lin Yi as if he were an alien- she was a young mistress, but calling Uncle Fu for a parking ticket that costed a few kuai? Wouldnât that just be trouble?
âHaâ¦â¦â Lin Yi smiled faintly- the people in the car probably didnât care about that money either, since theyâre working with Chu Pengzhan and allâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But having free parking was a proof and representation of status- it had to be what they were going for.
And Lin Yi was right!
Inside the SUV was Zhang Yuchu, who had a wide smile on his face. âAmazing, Jin Bro- you donât even need to pay for parking!â
âThe theme parkâs built with our companyâs investment, and I happen to be in charge of that.â Maosheng said casually as he pocketed his card. âOf course Iâd use a privilege like this if I have it.â
âOf course!â Yuchu said with a laugh. âBut, since weâre in Jin Broâs territory itâll be much easier! I was still worried about how we should go about this, but thereâs no problem now!â
âI wasnât expecting them to come to the theme park either.â A cold smile formed on Maoshengâs lips. âIâve some trusted people in here, I can get them to help later!â
âThese trusted people⦠Would they keep quiet about this?â Yuchu was still worried- murder was a big deal, after all.
âKeep quiet? They wouldnât dare say anything.â Maosheng said disdainfully. âTheyâre all getting their money illegally- I throw the number of their pocketed money out and itâs a death sentence for them.â
âItâs fine then!â Yuchu nodded. They wouldnât need to worry about getting betrayed if they were in the same boat.
âGet someone with some wits to tail the three, and constantly report their location. Iâll see what I can do for the accident.â Maosheng said.
âNo problem.â Yuchu called out to a very common looking youth at the back of the car. âLilâ Ma, youâre up!â
âYes, Yuchu Bro!â Ma said as he got out of the car to tail the trio.
Maoshengâs face turned dark for an instant- he was an extremely cautious man. He didnât know who this Ma person was, but the guy had seen his face today- his first course of action after finishing the job was have him offed. He couldnât allow even the slightest risk to exist.
The person behind Li Cihua was a godly figure, but even he wouldnât help Master Bin out if things got real serious. The man was his bastard son, but his wifeâs house was a powerful family as well. A bastard son this grown up would cause big shit should he ever get found out. Maosheng understood that, and made sure to constantly have backup plans.
âYao Yao, do we go bungee jumping now?â Yushu was very much looking forward to the bungee jumping- the attraction was part of Pengzhan Industries, but this was the first time the two have visited ever since the opening. The bungee jumping valley hadnât been properly constructed yet.
âBungee jumping from the start?â Mengyao had been pretty pent up these past couple of days, and as much as sheâd like to blow off some steam, bungee jumping right away wasnât something she could take very well.
It was a dangerous and exhaustive thing, after all- Mengyao wanted to have some fun at the other attractions first.
âThen letâs walk around first. Ah, Yao Yao! Why donât we go to the haunted house? I heard they built one, itâs really scary!â Yushu suggested.
âHaunted house?â Mengyao frowned- why did Yushu like childish attractions like that? Haunted house? Whoâd ever get scared at the stuff inside, they were all fake. Whoâd even go there in the first place?
âYeah, itâs really scary! I heard that a lot of young couples go there, and the guy gets to take advantage of the girl when she gets scared!â Yushu said seriously.
âShu, are you crazy?â Mengyao was speechless. âSo you wanna go with Lin Yi and let him take advantage of you?â
âNope, Iâm not scared⦠but I think youâd be, Yao Yao!â Yushu said.
âMe, scared?â Mengyao got even more speechless. âYou think Iâd get scared at the kid stuff inside? Well letâs just go in and see whoâd get scared then! But let me tell you now, Shu, donât get pissed or anything when you get felt up!â
âHehe, donât be so sure whoâs gonna get felt up, Yao Yao! You never know!â Yushu laughed. Sheâd looked at Pinliangâs recording of the haunted house on his phone before- she wouldnât be afraid because of that.
Mengyao had been there as well, but she couldnât care less about Pinliang, so only Yushu watched. Pinliang had actually wanted her to help persuade Mengyao into going into the haunted house with him, but Yushu never did such a thing after finishing the video.
