To Love You Again

Chapter 586 - Unraveling Secrets

When the discussion was over, the silent Tang Yin finally gained the courage to raise her hand and speak out. "Ahem. I know you guys have been preparing a lot, but is there any way that I can help out?"

All heads turned to her.

They momentarily forgot that Tang Yin was present.

Linfeng nodded. "There is. Zhi'er's men is currently investigating a drug syndicate that might be connected to Ming Zhi Yi. They are rooted deeply in the entertainment industry. Since you have officially debuted as a musician in the upper society, I think we can use this chance and try to rope in those people together. Although the music industry and the entertainment industry have their separate and distinctive scopes, they still overlap in many areas. Investors, artists, producers, and various players in the entertainment industry will definitely have contact with your performances."

A light bulb shone in Xiong Zhi's eyes. She understood Linfeng's intention.

Various plans were immediately cooked in Xiong Zhi's mind with Tang Yin as the medium. "Right, it is hard for my men to create 'coincidental meetings' with those people involved with the drug syndicate. However, if we invite them under the pretense of Tang Yin's performances, then we can watch their movements closer and perhaps catch some evidences of their deals midway."

Lu Yin Ze frowned. "But Tang Yin's reputation will be at stake if ever she was involved in any drug related scandals, bystander or not. If a drug dealer or a drug user is caught during any of her performances, or even if a journalist notices something suspicious, everyone will immediately think that Tang Yin's concerts are merely covers for illegal trading or drug parties. And there is no place in the society for artists who are embroiled in drug controversy, even if their name was just mentioned in passing."

Even if the Tang family supported Tang Yin in case that happened, the society would only be more indignant and accuse them of using power.

Tang Yin nodded, she was grateful for Lu Yin Ze's concern. But she still wanted to help. She was about to express her resoluteness when Xiong Zhi spoke.

She calmly explained. "I know that, which is why we have to be very quiet and careful. I even used my own artists and my company, do you think I would be careless about this? I will also be implicated if that happens. I've made sure that my men are very discreet in all their previous operations. So for this, we must also ensure that all ensuing conflicts, capture, or chase must be done outside of Tang Yin's performances. We're no idiots, our men will only quietly observe and record what they see and hear."

Tang Yin who was about to swear 'I will do my very best and willing to risk my name' pledge halted. Compared to her pledge, Xiong Zhi's willingness to even risk her own hard-work company was more dazzling.

Linfeng added, "We'll only be doing observations and looking for cues as starting points to gather evidence. All actions will be done without involving Tang Yin's name. Of course, this is up to Tang Yin."

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng looked at Tang Yin with expectant looks in their eyes.

"A-alright, alright. I will do that. I know you won't pit me guys, because if you do, then wouldn't I bring you down with me? Just send me further details of what should I do..." Tang Yin said, a bit overwhelmed from their expectant eyes.

"That's good." Xiong Zhi lightly smiled.

The more she looked at Tang Yin, the more those plans became solid and clear.

Tang Yin no longer looked too much of an eyesore to her now. Even though the brat still looked a bit of annoying in Xiong Zhi's eyes, she could now at least tolerate her presence, especially now that Tang Yin very bravely stepped forward to help them like this.

Xiong Zhi immediately came up with many uses to maximize Tang Yin's 'brave help'.

"Also, I need to see the new faction these CEOs are supporting right now...--with the help of your cover we can easily watch them from far away..."

"...We have to map out these people's network of connections and if they still possess the same weakness encoded in the list...--with the help of your guest list and by putting these people together, we may see which are still valid or not--"

Xiong Zhi listed many things that could be done with Tang Yin's help.

The public would not be suspicious if they used Tang Yin like this.

A way for them to move more quickly had opened!

Xiong Zhi showed enthusiasm as she took advantage of the dizzy Tang Yin.

Poor musical genius Tang Yin could not understand the fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on in the 'to-do' list that Xiong Zhi had enumerated.

Why did Tang Yin feel as if her career path had turned into something that was not only for the sake of music anymore?

Tang Yin stared at Xiong Zhi who was still busy listing out the things she needed to do.

Why she felt like she had been played by this woman...?

How terrible! To think that this woman instantly transformed a pure music career into something highly political and cunning to this group's advantage!

How scary!

The musical genius trembled like a lone squirrel in winter.

'Did... Did I make the right choice by saying I can help...?'

Was it too late for regret now?

She just wanted to spend some time with her brother Linfeng and show off, ah!

***

While the four young people were busy in their discussions, the two elders in Old Lu's office were quite solemn as well.

"I finally found a lead in our investigation about the Qian family." Mistress Tang handed a doc.u.ment to Old Lu.

Old Lu took it and opened the file.

There was a distant picture of an old mansion on top of a desolate hill, with a label showing the longitudinal and latitudinal points.

"This location..." He had checked this with his men before.

"The satellite radar doesn't work on this location point. We almost overlooked the place. Fortunately, we did another probe after I heard your description. As expected, this area is shielded. If I didn't insist on using several scanning models repeatedly, we wouldn't have detected this place. We have verified, this is the Qian mansion you mentioned."

"Are there any people?" Old Lu asked.

"We can't go near since my men sensed at least one master in the mansion, and there should be more. I ordered them to not alert anyone so we can continue watching them from afar."

Old Lu frowned. "Who could it be?"

Mistress Tang gestured for him to flip onto the next page.

There was a blurred picture of a black car entering the mansion, and exiting it.

Obviously, the sneak shot was from a very distant place and was affected by the shielding device of the area.

"My men had been watching them. The people inside are quite active. At least two cars would enter the mansion in a week but they never stayed for a day."
