Chapter 163: A Shield Taking All The Arrows (2/2)
The next day, Tao Yueyue really didn't want to tag along with the investigation. She just napped lazily at home while Chen s.h.i.+ went to visit Jia Xingyun with Lin Dongxue. They showed him the surveillance footage and Jia Xingyun said frankly, ”Zhendong quarrelled with his father that night. He was depressed and I accompanied him to the house for a drink.”
”No need to conceal it. Old Lu has already confessed that he was bribing… No, it was an attempt to bribe.” Chen s.h.i.+ revealed.
Jia Xingyun raised an eyebrow. ”Your investigation is so meticulous! Yes, Zhendong found me a week prior and said that his father wanted to give me a lot of money to ask my father to give a project to Old Man Lu. Zhendong was very annoyed because we have a deep friends.h.i.+p. He felt that this was defiling our friends.h.i.+p. I told him that he should keep the money himself and I would talk to my dad, but apparently Old Man Lu was not a.s.sured. On the evening of February 2nd, he needed Zhendong to invite me to his house and give me a little plaything. I wanted to laugh. The older generation valued social norms too much. My dad is the same way. They always talk about networking, relations.h.i.+ps, and connections. Social resources and the like are so annoying!”
”What about the money?”
”Zhendong bought a guitar with it. He likes to collect these. I guess the old man quarrelled with him over this matter.”
”Did you see the guitar when you went to his house that night?”
”I saw it. It is indeed a guitar worth 40 million. It glitters and each string smelled of money.”
”Was that guitar broken?”
”No, the plastic wrap was very good.”
Jia Xingyun's att.i.tude was very frank and he was staring at Lin Dongxue while talking. Chen s.h.i.+ asked, ”There is one other thing I want to ask you. Was there anyone else at Lu Zhendong's house?”
Jia Xingyun immediately became nervous. ”I can't answer that. This is related to Zhendong's reputation.”
Chen s.h.i.+ smiled. ”Mr. Jia, you have already told us with your att.i.tude... Lu Zhendong imprisoned a woman in his own house, right?”
”You won't get a word out of me!”
”Then, I'll ask something else. When you left the community, did you notice any suspicious people? Did you see a black motorcycle outside the community?”
Jia Xingyun replied without hesitation. ”Yes, there was a black Honda motorcycle parked under the outer wall of the community!”
”Number plate?”
”How could I remember that?!”
”Thank you for your cooperation!”
The two were ready to leave when Jia Xingyun overtook them and asked, ”Miss Lin, will you give me face and have a meal with me?”
Lin Dongxue remained silent and reached out to hold Chen s.h.i.+'s arm, then raised her thin moon-like brows at Jia Xingyun.
As a gentleman, Jia Xingyun immediately realized what she was implying and retracted his troops. ”No wonder you two are always together. Sure enough, the police like the police. Forgive me.”
After coming out, Lin Dongxue said, ”This boy is quite gentlemanly!”
”He looks like a catch. Why not consider it?”
”Not my cup of tea!”
”Do you still need to hold my arm?”
Lin Dongxue's face turned red and she quickly removed her hands, whispering, ”Thank you for being a s.h.i.+eld taking all the arrows for me!”
Chen s.h.i.+ smiled. ”I still don't know what type you like?”
”Surely not the uncles who drive! Hmph!” Lin Dongxue walked away without looking back.
Chen s.h.i.+ pulled out his cell phone to see what was happening in the project group. A message from Xu Xiaodong filled the screen. ”Sun Shenyou's wife has been abducted. The address is...”
Chen s.h.i.+ immediately called Lin Dongxue, ”There's a situation! Hurry to the car!”
1. Monkeys are really cheeky and smart. So, he's saying that he stuck fur on his face (because humans don't have that much facial hair) and is acting cheeky like a monkey.
