Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

"Alright, save those words for them. Let's go; it's time to see him."

As he spoke, the old man simply gestured forward, and shortly after, the car sped away.

An hour later, after a series of questions and with the crucial evidence chain broken, his status as a suspect seemed to be increasingly blurry.

In light of this situation, they had no choice but to arrange bail for Lin Yi temporarily.

Of course, Lin Yi would still have to cooperate with the ongoing investigation, so, in principle, he was not yet truly free.

Seeing the old man waiting for him outside, Lin Yi felt a warm current flowing through his heart at that moment.

"Thank you, old man. This time, without you, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult to clear my name."

"Heh, it's nothing, just lending a hand. Besides, don't worry. Leave the rest to the boss; he's made all the preparations."

While speaking, he glanced to the side.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses, so genteel in his appearance, really seemed quite different from the old man.

Lin Yi remembered feeling doubtful the first time he met him.

How could the old man, a character so commanding in the underworld, possibly have such a scholarly son?

"Lin Yi, rest assured about this case. I have a hundred percent confidence that I can clear your name. Next, we just need to gather some other evidence, so there's no need for you to worry. I'll contact you if there's anything."

"Alright, you've worked hard."

"No worries. Now, I need to hurry and handle some other procedures. You guys chat, I'll be right back."

After finishing his words, he turned again and re-entered the room.

"So, what are your plans?"

"Heh, I never imagined that a little security guard could have easily outsmarted me."

"That's why you must always be wary, especially of the people around you."

"Yes, I've learned my lesson from this blunder and also figured out what's really going on."

"Zhao Guangchen, what do you plan to do?"

"He's already gone abroad. Do you think I have any power to bring him back?"

"That's not for sure. I'm telling you, he's just waiting for the right opportunity. If it arises, maybe he'll come back very soon."

"What do you mean? What opportunity?"

Lin Yi seemed puzzled, his eyes wide as he asked the old man.

"He's always been hoping for your death, hasn't he? If you were convicted now, I believe there'd be no stumbling block in this city to hinder him."

"Old man, are you saying you want to release fake news?"

"Exactly, because only then could we entice him to show himself."

"And, if he doesn't come?"

"I've already investigated. He's definitely coming back. His family hasn't left here yet."

As the old man spoke, it seemed like there was a hidden meaning in his words.

"Old man, what do you mean? I'm telling you, you absolutely can't involve family in underworld matters, do you understand?"

Lin Yi had always been such a person.

He could handle whatever came his way, but he would never make life difficult for others.

After hearing this, the old man nodded satisfactorily, patting his shoulder gently.

"Good, young man, do you know why I'm willing to help you? It's because you have the same air about you that I had when I was young. Rest assured, I won't trouble their family, nor will I do anything."

"Old man, I want to manage this matter myself."

"Can you handle it on your own?"

"Don't worry. Dealing with Zhao Guangchen won't be so difficult."

"Alright then, I understand. If you need anything, contact me anytime."

"Okay, thank you, old man. Someday, I will surely come to express my gratitude."

"Heh, enough of that. If you really want to thank me, give me a break on those business deals, at least."

The old man, in the end, had still brought up business.

After all, his family had indeed faced difficulties in their dealings before the cooperation.

"Don't worry, anyone else might not get a pass, but for you, old man, it will always be green lights at my end."

"Eh, by the way, I heard Wang Sheng is with you?"

Just before leaving, the old man suddenly thought of his least promising young son.

"He's at my home now. Sorry about that, don't blame me. I'm trying to help you discipline your son."

"Fine, however you want to do it, it's your matter; it has nothing to do with me. If you can turn him around, I would be the one owing you gratitude. Remember, if he needs a beating, beat him; if he deserves scolding, scold him. We'll meet again someday."

Leaving behind a burst of hearty laughter, the old man turned and left.

At that moment, Lin Yi looked up at the sun in the sky.

The sunlight was just right, warm and comforting on his skin.

He let out a long sigh, cherishing the sense of freedom breaking through.

"Guixiang."

Suddenly, she came to his mind.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi made his way directly to the hospital.

"Boss, you're out?"

Hei Lang had been waiting at the hospital entrance.

He had already received the call on the way, and was surprised that Lin Yi had got out so quickly.

"We'll talk about my case later. What happened to Guixiang?"

"She suffered brain death this morning, and respiratory failure ensued. The doctors tried hard to resuscitate her for half the day, but in the end, she couldn't be saved."

"What a pity, such a pity. Where's the body now? In which room?"

"The body is still in the morgue, and they say they need to perform a forensic autopsy."

"Good, let them do the autopsy. There's definitely more to it than we think; it's not as simple as it appears."

"Boss, you're okay, right?"

"For the moment, I should be fine. But the investigation into the case isn't complete. And now, with Guixiang's sudden death, the nature of the case has naturally changed." Experience more content on empire
