Chapter 405: Chapter 287: The Mystery of the Sun Family’s Rise (more to come)_2

"Okay." Mu Lin nodded and turned to Yan Zilei, "Let’s go then. I’ve never been to a banquet before, so I should thank you for providing me the opportunity to broaden my horizons."

Yan Zilei just smiled and didn’t say anything. Ya Yan, however, was excited, almost pouncing on Mu Lin. However, seeing Jing Chen’s icy face, she eventually stopped and sulked, tugging on her brother’s sleeve, looking rather glum.

She felt as if Mu Lin was being taken away by someone.

Of course, Mu Lin didn’t notice her jealousy. He looked at her and continued, "Ya Yan, I’ll take Yinzi home, so it won’t bite anyone at school and get you into trouble." Yinzi tilted its head in protest— it wouldn’t bite people randomly. Mu Lin patted it lightly on the head.

On hearing Mu Lin’s words, Ya Yan looked reluctantly at Yinzi. She had grown accustomed to its company over the past few days, though it spent most of its time sleeping. But it was very smart, seeming to fully understand her words, which is why she loved chatting with it.

"Yinzi, remember to visit me," Ya Yan said, kneeling down in front of it. Yinzi nodded its head. It was also fond of this girl, although she was a bit talkative. Rubbing its head against Ya Yan’s hand, it seemed to be bidding her farewell and making a promise to visit.

Mu Lin turned to Yang Hao and Hong Boyuan, "You carry on. We’ll leave now and won’t trouble you to lead the way." He had memorized the way after traveling it once.

"Okay," the others nodded without insisting on accompanying them.

Yan Zilei patted Ya Yan on the head, reminding her to concentrate on her studies, and then strode after Mu Lin.

After Yan Zilei left, Liu Xiaoya turned to Ya Yan, "Ya Yan, you never told me how Mu Lin saved you. Did something else happen in B City that I don’t know about?" She just heard them mention B City, implying something else had happened. Ya Yan wouldn’t have been so ruthless to Sun Lianhua if it was merely a rivalry alone.

Ya Yan turned to look at Sun Yao and Du Hongyu, then nodded at Hong Boyuan and walked off with Liu Xiaoya trailing behind her, desperate to hear more about Mu Lin. Why won’t she tell her?

"Let’s go," Hong Boyuan suggested to Yang Hao and Xiao Feng, looking indifferent towards Sun Yao and Du Hongyu. Yang Hao, on the other hand, as a friend whom Mu Lin acknowledged, received courtesy from Hong Boyuan.

A friend of Mu Lin is his friend too. It seemed like he needed to take care of Ya Yan a bit from now on.

After the three of them left, only two remained at the bustling scene. One of them looked listless, while the other one was full of jealousy, having clenched their fists, their nails having pierced their own flesh.

Ya Yan, Mu Lin, we’ll see.

Thinking of what happened to B City, Sun Yao still shivered in fear.

Not long after she returned to Ming City, she suddenly received an anonymous mysterious package. Inside, coupled with a piece of paper with only two words on it.

Wait and see.

Since that day, Sun Yao had nightmares for a long time. Although Du Hongyu was reluctant to touch her, there must be lingering trauma.

Tsk, Yan Zilei, indeed, a ruthless person! Not acting up front didn’t mean he would let her be at ease.

...

On the school path, Yan Zilei walked alongside Mu Lin. The principal’s office was quite far from the parking area.

"I’m surprised; you haven’t dealt with that girl called Sun Yao." Calm words echoed in Yan Zilei’s ears.

Mu Lin thought since Yan Zilei had investigated him, he would’ve investigated what happened to Ya Yan in B City. As per his observations, Yan Zilei didn’t seem like a soft-hearted person.

Both in public and private.

Yan Zilei paused, then understood what Mu Lin meant. He lightly smiled, "The situation with the Sun family is a bit complicated. I’m investigating some things, so I won’t touch Sun Yao for now. Besides, she only serves a purpose by being alive. Any new or old scores will be settled all at once in the future." As for today, how would Yan Zilei manage the Yan Family and dominate in Yan’s territory if he couldn’t figure out the situation?

"Complicated?" Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "How complicated?" Mu Lin remembered Jing Chen once told him that the Yan Family held a significant status in Ming City. Especially since they were a family that changed from criminal to legal business, regular families wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

Yan Zilei nodded and continued, "If it was only the Sun family, there would be nothing special. But it seems like they have some mysterious person backing them. Even with Yan’s power, the investigation turned up nothing." For the first time, Yan Gate’s intelligence network had met with a challenge, which annoyed him.

Without saying anything, Mu Lin and Jing Chen looked at each other, their minds deep in thought.

Yan Zilei continued, "Actually, the rise of the Sun family is also strange. They were nothing but a small pharmaceutical factory, not even third-rate. But over the past four to five years, they slowly turned into a large pharmaceutical company. Many hospitals in Ming City get their medicine supply from them. As they grew, they gradually joined the ranks of high society.
