Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Twists and Turns I (1/2)

……

The world-shaking question made Yan Jin freeze instantly, speechless.

It was more than just being puzzled, it was more like he had malfunctioned.

For Yan Jin, it was probably his first time having such a strange experience.

In the dimly lit room, Liu Ye’s expression was hard to understand. It made Yan Jin unsure if the other person was joking.

With no other choice, Yan Jin gave up the only spot in which he could stand upright. With much difficulty, he crossed over several unknown boxes and walked up to Liu Ye. He frowned, asking, “What do you mean?”

Liu Ye initially thought that his question should be simple enough to understand – what exactly was Yan Jin up to? Judging from Yan Jin’s reaction, he was puzzled. “You mean there’s something that you can’t even tell me, or?”

“I really don’t know anything. I have not done anything for the past six months,” Yan Jin replied in a serious tone as he looked at Liu Ye. “I can swear to that.”

Liu Ye pondered for a moment before he spoke again. “The account ‘Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both’ was created in July last year. Let’s start with what you have done from that time onwards and most importantly, who was holding onto Chu Ge’s iPad.”

“In July…” Yan Jin took a deep breath as he answered honestly. “Old gramps found out that I like men in late May last year. I only managed to settle it in July. What do you think I dared do?”

“That’s true.” The incident when Yan Jin was caught red-handed at a hotel with a man caused a sensation in their circle. Although it was contained in the end, Liu Ye heard about it nonetheless. He did not question the chairman’s answer. Instead, he asked again. “Then, could it be that guy from SI picked up the iPad that Chu Ge misplaced?”

Yan Jin’s expression became very weird. “That’s impossible.”

“Why not? Maybe he was a hacker as well and could fake his location, decode the password, and create this misunderstanding?” Liu Ye speculated.

“Because Chu Ge’s iPad has always been with me.” Yan Jin paused before he added: “It was always with the pet I raised and was never missing, not even for a day.”

The confusion in Liu Ye’s eyes was identical to Yan Jin’s.

The two super geniuses whose IQs were over three hundred were now looking at each other in dismay as confusion surround them.

“I think we need to properly analyze this question. I need to know everything, all of it.” Liu Ye got up from his chair, took the sweater hanging on the back of it, threw it over his shoulder, and hunched a little as he unhurriedly walked out. “Let’s change our location.”

“What a coincidence, that’s what I thought long ago.” Yan Jin appreciated Liu Ye’s suggestion.

……

“Which means to say that hamster you raised is a demon that had the intelligence of a human and could play games with the iPad. And you even started a war just because this demon has now fused back into his human form?” Liu Ye clicked his tongue in wonder as he browsed through the pictures on Yan Jin’s mobile. “If you had told me earlier then none of this would have happened.”

“I thought he was gone back then.” Yan Jin grumbled as he browsed through the conversation history from Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both’s account from the creation date and on. “If you had been monitoring this person’s information, none of this would have happened.”

“Do I look very idle to you?” Liu Ye retorted angrily. “Don’t you dare forget that you still owe me half a year of leave.”

“With such substandard work, you are still demanding a holiday? Rejected.”

Yan Jin went through the entire conversation history and felt more and more upset towards the end. Especially when he saw the ‘Forget it then’ by Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both, he instantly decided to deduct all of Shao Yue’s bonus for the year.”

“Can you be reasonable? What the fu-“ Only Yan Jin could push a person as gentlemanly as Liu Ye to speak such vulgarities.

Yan Jin ignored the insult as he dug into his pocket and threw something to Liu Ye.

“What’s that?” Liu Ye did not catch it, and a rustling sound was heard as the heavy object fell to the floor.

It was a bunch of keys.

“Compensation.” Yan Jin rubbed his temple. “I’m giving you three days. Take Nan Wei away.”

“I know Nan Wei is at your place.” Liu Ye lowered his head, too lazy to pick up the keys. “I have been chasing after him for a month. I’m worried that if I continue to force him…”

“Which is why I said it’s compensation.” Yan Jin raised his eyebrow. “I’ll help you.”

“If you wanted to be useful, you shouldn’t have kept me waiting till now.” Liu Ye did not look up.

“It couldn’t be done in the past. But I can help now.” Yan Jin pointed at the keys on the floor: “That’s the key to unlock a safety deposit box in G bank. There’s five percent of the shares of NN inside it.”

Liu Ye’s eyes immediately widened. “And you dare claim that you did nothing? Where did you get that?”

“From a tycoon by accident.” The edge of Yan Jin’s lips curled with a tinge of emotion in his eyes. “The profits from that deal were simply beyond my imagination. Fishy is indeed my lucky star.”

“No way, tell me in detail.” Liu Ye pushed his luck.. “The Nan family is in a huge mess now, and what are you planning to do with that? I’ll decide whether to sever ties with you depending on your answer.”

“I’m giving you that for free. What else could I be planning?” Yan Jin was displeased with Liu Ye’s untrusting behavior.

“You are not that kind of person who would not take a bite out of the meat that’s in front of you. Plus, why are you helping me?” It was exactly because he understood Yan Jin’s horrid nature too well that he was extremely doubtful of the chairman’s generosity.

“Because I’m going to pick up my little pet that ran away from home, and for that I’ll need your help.” Yan Jin smiled mysteriously. “If you don’t want it, that’s fine. I’ll give it to Nan Wei directly, and you can chase him till the end of the world.”

“Let me off.” Liu Ye sighed with his usual nerdy style. He bent over to pick up the keys and sighed again. “The problem is, I don’t see how Nan Wei would get together with me just because of this. I know him better than you.”

“But you don’t know the Nan family.”
