Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 584: Chapter 558 Brother and Case Solving

Lin Zeguang was so embarrassed when his boastful claim of peeing far was overheard by the beautiful woman.

As a result, Xiao Qian appreciated the sight of a nearly six-foot tall, burly man blushing.

“Let me introduce formally, Xiao Mei, this is an uncultured classmate I accidentally met in school, his name is Lin Zeguang, male, not yet 40 years old——”

“Yu Minglang, stop talking nonsense!” Lin Zeguang pushed Yu Minglang aside and extended his hand towards Xiao Qian.

“I’m only 30 years old. Don’t listen to him.”

Lin Zeguang and Yu Minglang were classmates at the same time in school, both extremely competitive, always clashing with each other.

Lin Zeguang was slightly better than Yu Minglang in explosive events like sprinting and fighting, but Yu Minglang outperformed him in shooting and commanding. Although neither of them cared for the other, outsiders always felt that their fierce competition held a brotherly love that could only be understood, not described in words. Both of them just refused to admit it.

Seeing their bantering and bickering, Xiao Qian immediately determined that this tall man must share some extraordinary connection with Yu Minglang, so she played along in the same rhythm as Yu Minglang.

She extended her hand, shook hands with Lin Zeguang in a friendly manner, and smiled.

“You must be a great friend of my fiancé. Nice to meet you. I’m Chen Xiaoqian, Yu Minglang’s fiancée.”

The woman’s confidence made Lin Zeguang feel particularly embarrassed. Xiao Qian found this man interesting. Despite his strong appearance, he blushed easily.

He seemed to be a man of character.

“Xiao Mei, focus on the important part! Didn’t you hear him say he’s already 30? The same age as me, but older, I wonder if he failed a lot and had to repeat a year?”

Yu Minglang maliciously commented.

Lin Zeguang immediately turned to him, roared fiercely, “Do you think everyone starts school as early as you, this inhuman creature? Miss, you must find it hard to be with a man with such a cunning mind? This guy has a bunch of bad ideas as his eyes move. Actually, there are many eligible bachelors in our circle, including me. I’m single, would you be interested in changing your fiancé?”

“Get away from me! Take your paw off my woman’s hand! Don’t disrupt my relationship with my wife. My wife has good grades too, finishing her university credits two years early. You with your simple mind certainly can’t converse on her level.”

Hearing that Xiao Qian was a top student, Lin Zeguang immediately showed respect. He said to Xiao Qian earnestly.

“I really admire people with good grades. You must be very smart.”

Xiao Qian smiled slightly, “This isn’t a place to talk. Should we go somewhere else? I think you must have something to ask me.”

“How did you know our purpose?” Lin Zeguang remembered that when he and Yu Minglang were discussing business, she hadn’t shown up yet.

“My fiancé is not the type to misuse his power in private affairs. His friends must be the same. The reason you came here must not only be to help him, but also to have official business for us. So, let’s go somewhere convenient to talk.”

Lin Zeguang gaped. He thought Yu Minglang was insightful already, but this woman was even more amazing.

Yu Minglang proudly held Xiao Qian, “Isn’t my woman great?”

“Too great… It’s a pity to be with you…”

Lin Zeguang avoided Yu Minglang’s kick, shaking his head in regret.

Seeing their interaction, Xiao Qian was even more certain of her guess. This man must be a very important friend of Yu Minglang’s, even though they didn’t acknowledge it.

In the car, Lin Zeguang told them their purpose.

“There has been a particularly horrifying case in Lin City recently. The suspect used a knife to disfigure the victim brazenly.”

To avoid causing panic, news of this case were temporarily blocked from the public. But the upper level took the case very seriously and set up a special team, recruiting a large number of people to investigate the matter. Lin Zeguang was assigned to lead a team to patrol the streets.

“Do you suspect that the person who called my fiancée is related to this case?” Yu Minglang frowned.

“I heard you say that the person was threatening to use a knife over the phone, so I boldly speculated if there’s a connection. Please tell us everything that you know.”

Lin Zeguang was very focused when investigating.

“This person has called me before. The last phone call just mentioned the knife and I hang up immediately. This time he called again, saying directly that he would use the knife against me. When he was speaking, there was an excited panting. I suspect he is doing something inappropriate while he’s on the phone with me.”

Xiao Qian shared what she knew, and Yu Minglang added his previous speculations, ranging from age to night shifts.

Lin Zeguang was troubled, “We’ve already checked the call history from the other party when we came here, but he used a non-recorded IC card to call, and we couldn’t retrieve any related information. We have already sent people to collect fingerprints, but this public facility is used by numerous people, so it’s difficult to retrieve valuable information.”

“Have you looked at the road surveillance?” Yu Minglang asked.

Lin Zeguang shook his head, “The phone booth he chose is in a blind spot, and it’s not visible on surveillance.”

“If this surveillance doesn’t work, check the other ones. There are only a few places this street can lead to. Bring out all the relevant surveillance footage and compare them. A suspicious person could definitely be found, I don’t believe he can fly away!”

Yu Minglang had a feeling that something was strange about the case. His intuition told him that it was not simply a case, but he couldn’t figure out what was the problem.

Lin Zeguang nodded, “Before we find the real culprit, you must pay attention to the safety of your fiancée——should I assign someone to protect her?”

Although it’s uncertain whether the person who harassed Xiao Qian was the mugger, Xiao Qian didn’t meet the criteria to be protected by someone according to standard procedures. But Lin Zeguang didn’t mind helping Xiao Qian in a private capacity. There were always brothers in his team who were resting, and he could arrange for them to follow Xiao Qian during their rest.

Despite their frequent fights, the brotherhood between them was deep-rooted. Of course, they would do everything to help when their brother’s fiancée was in danger.

“I’ll stay here for about half a month. During this time, I’ll stick with her. I hope you can crack the case before I leave.” Yu Minglang decided to protect her himself, she can’t be in any danger.
