"I don't know who this Wei Damin is, Xiao Si only knows the guy is called Wei Damin, he couldn't ask anything further."
"Alright, Zhou Jian, thank you so much, you've been a great help, brother, I owe you one."
"What are you saying, big bro? If you need me, just send me a message. I've got over twenty guys at my disposal, ready whenever you call."
"Good, with your word, I know I can count on you."
Zhenfei really felt that Zhou Jian was reliable, having settled things so quickly, which was much faster than the police's efficiency, but who was this Wei Damin?
"Sorry, Officer Han, I don't have time to keep you company today, as for the suggestions you mentioned, I'll listen when I have time."
"What are you going to do, have you found some clues?" Han Lian was very alert and immediately grabbed Zhenfei's arm.
"Sorry, you've got it wrong, it's my wife calling me home for dinner, let go of me, it's not proper for an officer to be pulling and dragging like this."
"You don't have a damn wife, I'm warning you, if you have clues, tell the police, don't do anything rash."
"Got it, Officer Han, I need to go,"
After breaking free from Han Lian, Ling Zhenfei drove off. Han Lian knew she couldn't stop Ling Zhenfei and quickly hailed a cab to follow him, not believing a word he said.
While in the car, Ling Zhenfei called Jiang Hao. According to his analysis, this Wei Damin was definitely a figure with a Jianghu background, and Jiang Hao would know much more about it.
"I do know who Wei Damin is. He once mixed in the Jianghu but didn't rise up. Eventually, he partnered with a few other Jianghu figures to start a small company, something like Tianhe Group."
As soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, Ling Zhenfei instantly understood, so it was Tianhe Group. Ever since the last incident, Tianhe Group had almost been cleaned out, but somehow Wei Damin was overlooked.
"Wei Damin left early, although he still gets a share every year, he's no longer with Tianhe Group, so it's possible that's why the police missed him," added Jiang Hao quickly, knowing what Ling Zhenfei was thinking.
Zhenfei was fuming inside, 'The police missed you, and you had the gall to have such crooked thoughts. If you're covering things up, then it's time for a blood debt to be repaid.'
"So what is this Wei Damin doing now?"
"This guy is playing even bigger now, opened a high-end club with membership system."
A high-end club, alright, most of these so-called high-end clubs aren't exactly legit, often implicated in shady dealings; this will be easy to handle, watch as I bring you down.
"Hello, Journalist Zhuo, what are you up to?" After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei called Zhuo Yue, as Zhuo might be interested in this club.
"What else could I be doing but running around trying to smooth things over with the news? Why do you think of me all of a sudden?" Zhuo Yue seemed quite surprised to receive Zhenfei's call.
"Why can't I think of you? I've been so worried about you I can hardly sleep."
"Oh, come off it. You're probably the one losing sleep over worries. I've seen the posts about your Xishan Manor online, they're still there, must be stressing you out, huh?"
"That's all small fry now, don't trouble your mind about it. You helped me out so much last time, I really want to thank you properly. So, I've come across a big scoop, not sure if you're interested?"
"What big scoop? Let me hear it."
"High-end club involved in illegal activities, and there could be officials implicated in corruption, shocking enough for you?"
"Really? What do you want me to do?"
"You'll know once you get here, how soon can you make it?"
"I'm very close, just a two-hour drive to Binyang, wait for me."
Upon hearing there was major news, Zhuo Yue seemed to become very quick in his movements, even his speech wasn't as languid anymore. Ling Zhenfei knew that if Zhuo Yue said two hours, he would be right on time.
Ling Zhenfei parked the car at the entrance of a secluded neighborhood, then got out and casually lit up a cigarette. He saw the car behind him follow up and waved towards it.
The car behind also stopped, and then Han Lian was seen getting out of the car.
"I knew you would follow me."
"What are you doing here?" Han Lian looked around; the area was a bit remote, and she had no idea what Ling Zhenfei was up to.
"Aren't you going to go shopping? Can't you do it here?"
Han Lian looked around. Although there were some shops selling stuff, they were a far cry from the places she wanted to go.
"To shop in this kind of place? What could you possibly buy here?"
"Isn't there a clothing store right up ahead? It's just a little small, not quite the brand you wanted, but it's good enough. I'm bankrupt now; this place isn't bad."
After saying that, Ling Zhenfei pulled Han Lian into a clothing store not far away. The store wasn't very specialized, so it had all kinds of clothes, even including women's lingerie.
This was the first time Ling Zhenfei accompanied a girl shopping for clothes. Imagining how good Han Lian would look in them, he picked out a few outfits and asked her to try them on. For some reason, Han Lian, who was usually quite individualistic, was very cooperative this time. It was like a little married couple; she took the clothes Ling Zhenfei picked and went to try them on.
"Hey, isn't this skirt a bit too short?"
Soon, Han Lian tried on the first outfit, a cream-colored T-shirt on top with a miniskirt on her legs. It was a simple outfit, but Ling Zhenfei almost couldn't look away.
It might have been because of her professional habit; Han Lian usually wore uniforms or jeans, and rarely skirts or shorts. She looked stunningly beautiful in them now.
"Shopkeeper, I'll take this set of clothes, please pack it up in a bit."
Ling Zhenfei didn't care about what Han Lian said. Such beautiful clothes had to be bought, and the most important thing was that he could see Han Lian in a skirt in the future. Just the thought of it made him happy.
"Hey, what do you mean, I didn't say I wanted to buy it."
"No nonsense, I'm buying it for you, go try the next one."
Han Lian glared menacingly, but quickly calmed down and rolled her eyes at Ling Zhenfei before turning around to try on more clothes. The roll of her eyes seemed almost like a coquettish gesture.
She tried on several pieces one after another; all the clothes Ling Zhenfei picked were different from Han Lian's previous style. Han Lian, due to her profession, was never feminine, but these clothes all brought out a woman's beauty—a different style that made Han Lian somewhat unhappy. She kept asking Ling Zhenfei if they were too revealing.
Ling Zhenfei didn't respond to any of Han Lian's questions; he just paid for the clothes. While Han Lian was trying on clothes, Ling Zhenfei also casually bought a set of men's clothes and had them packed up together.
"Do you often take girls clothes shopping?" Han Lian asked Ling Zhenfei in an accusing tone.
"Not at all, you're the first. But looks like it's also your first time shopping for clothes, right?"
"Of course not, I just don't buy this style of clothes, that's all."
