“What?” Upon hearing these two names, Song Fan didn’t immediately grasp the situation, but soon she understood. She asked in a low voice, “Are you sure?” Priest Li shook his head. “My knowledge is limited. I’m not entirely sure. It’s just that certain things resonate as if when I see you, I can recognize that you are not you.”
He added with some confusion, “But indeed, I heard she doesn’t go by Yin Yin.”
Song Fan continued to watch him skeptically. She knew the DNA test had been conducted, and the police department wouldn’t make a mistake. Meng Yu had only one daughter, and there couldn’t be a second person. But how could this person sense her abnormalities? Could he have misheard?
Before she could continue questioning, Priest Li slightly bowed, “Meeting today is a fateful encounter for both of us. I’ll remind you: someday, you may need to save my life.”
Song Fan looked at the departing Taoist priest in bewilderment. Although she didn’t think he would speak nonsense, why did he say it wasn’t Song Yin?
She turned back to look at the villa. Meng Yu was standing at the window, looking outside. When she saw Song Fan turn around, Meng Yu quickly closed the curtains, as if afraid of her gaze.
Could it be another trick by Meng Yu? Song Fan couldn’t be sure. However, indeed, a woman had died in the car accident, and Meng Yu’s tears that day seemed too genuine, even for someone as cunning as her.
Song Fan shook her head. This matter could only be silently remembered. What about Priest Li saying she might need to save his life in the future? She sighed in resignation. She didn’t even know if she could investigate her mother’s cause of death, and now someone believed she could save lives.
Due to concerns about the surveillance during the day, Song Fan not only had Lan Yue investigate the information on the foreigners, but she also checked them through the dark web.
The people hired by Gu Hai were mostly charged with offenses like fighting and extortion. Even after their release, they weren’t exactly law-abiding citizens. However, these small-time thugs weren’t of much concern to her. If even these types could get close to Gu Chen, it might be time to consider changing the security team around Gu Chen, even if they were from the Gu family.
What caught her attention were the foreigners. Both she and Lan Yue found that one of the men was a bodyguard from the Brown Group, Charlie’s second brother’s right-hand man. The fact that this person came to A City was worth contemplating.
He even intentionally dyed his hair black, not wanting to be too conspicuous. So, was this person tracking Charlie or Gu Chen? Some things were better clarified by asking the person directly. If Charlie was so eager to cooperate, then it should be a comprehensive collaboration.
She and Charlie agreed to meet at a bar. Charlie had arrived early.
The dim lighting accentuated the contrast as Song Fan, dressed in loose sportswear, seemed out of place among the other patrons. However, upon seeing her beautiful face, there were whistles, though many refrained from approaching when they noticed her indifferent gaze.
Meanwhile, Charlie was holding a long-haired, seductive beauty. The woman, looking at him affectionately, picked up a glass. “Darling, do we not need me to accompany you tonight?”
Everyone who came to this bar invariably sought excitement. Charlie, being exceptional, was selected by the woman not just for his handsomeness but also for his diamond cufflinks and limited edition watches. How could she let go of such a man?
But Charlie’s gaze did not linger on the beautiful woman; instead, he looked at the sportswear-clad girl behind her. “Darling, I’m sorry. My companion has arrived.”
The woman glanced at Song Fan, seemingly unremarkable except for her beautiful face. She used her chest to rub against Charlie and then coquettishly said, “What’s so good about plain water? Don’t you want to try a different taste?”
Charlie gently pinched the woman’s buttocks and then said, “I like the original; I don’t like the aftertaste.
The woman playfully slapped him, then glared at Song Fan before leaving. As she departed, she even told the bartender, “He’s paying!”
Song Fan clicked her tongue. “You’re really… Never mind. Let’s get to business.”
“Don’t be so serious. What would you like to drink?” Charlie tilted his head and looked at her. Upon seeing her serious expression, he said, “Come on, let’s go to the private room. I know you want to ask something.”
The two of them went upstairs to a private room on the third floor. Meanwhile, in a corner of the first-floor hall, someone quickly took continuous photos of the two, sending the pictures to the employer.
Within a minute of sending the photos, the person’s phone notified him of a transfer of twenty thousand dollars. Satisfied, he left the bar.
