Chapter 675: Chapter 445 Tang Qichuan (Second Update)_1

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Mu Lin just staring at her phone without speaking, Jing Chen asked softly, moving the hand he had placed around her waist to bring her back to her senses.

Mu Lin shook her head and turned to him with a smile, "It seems like he’s planning to investigate me." she laughed helplessly; though she didn’t say who she was talking about, she had no doubt fully cooperated with them so far.

And yet, they wanted to probe into her life.

"Let him investigate." Jing Chen didn’t seem to mind, "Xiu Weiqi is a decent person, but once he sets his mind to investigate something, no one can stop him." When he sets his mind to something, he often wouldn’t listen to anyone, not giving up till he achieves his goal.

Or perhaps one should say, he occasionally had a knack for saying one thing and doing another; implying that he might agree with you in person but once he leaves, his actions would paint a different picture.

A typical stubborn character.

However, Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin out of curiosity,"why don’t you want him to know who they are? Aren’t you cooperating with them?" For the first time, he was clueless about what Mu Lin was thinking. Maybe they knew Mu Lin wasn’t protecting the person, but it was quite likely to be uncomfortable, especially since Mu Lin was meeting them today.

He hoped that everything could be disclosed today, else... it might be his turn to step in.

Mu Lin said, "Actually, I don’t even know myself. I haven’t decided whether I should reveal Mi Zheng’s true identity to Xiu Weiqi, but on second thought, there seems to be many hidden elements involved. It might be too early to let him know."

Perhaps, it’s better to delay for a while; to prevent any attraction to himself which could anger him and make him act rashly. After all, almost everyone who worked under him was an expert, if an ordinary person confronted him, it was akin to seeking death.

However, Jing Chen held a different opinion, "You can tell him actually, as a third party observer, they might discover things that you usually miss."

Police have their own set of methods and sources for investigation, like undercover officers etc., quite different from their current method of investigation.

Mu Lin contemplated, "I will decide after talking to him." By ’him’, she was referring to Mi Zheng. Her plan depended on today’s conversation.

Presumably, he should have left the police station by now but it was just assisting the investigation. She didn’t know when he would come to find her.

She hoped that today, she could get the answers she wanted.

Jing Chen nodded; he would give his opinion but not interfere with Mu Lin’s decisions. However, regarding that man, Jing Chen wouldn’t overlook it."

He sighed in frustration, sparking some fear of the future.

Around eleven o’clock in the morning, Mu Lin received a call. The call was not to her cell phone but to the landline in her room.

Jing Chen was convinced that this was entirely intentional. Mi Zheng made full use of Mu Lin’s desire to know everything.

Attempting to appease Jing Chen, Mu Lin left the room. If she stayed to endure his pleading eyes, she might never leave.

Mi Zheng had arranged for them to meet in a private couple’s room within the hotel’s Western-style restaurant, on the third floor.

When the waiter led Mu Lin there, Mi Zheng was already in the room. On seeing Mu Lin, his smile was incredibly bright, as if he was in a very good mood.

But Mu Lin was sceptical.

Nonchalantly taking a seat, Mi Zheng handed her the menu, "Take a look, what would you like to eat? Or I can order for you instead."

"Whatever you like." Mu Lin leaned back, unfazed by the food; she didn’t particularly fancy Western food.

They both seemingly ordered a simple meal - two steaks, one bottle of red wine, almost treating it as a pseudo-date.

Mu Lin calmly watched Mi Zheng’s antics.

However, when he ordered his steak to be cooked medium rare, Mu Lin asked for hers to be cooked medium well.

Mi Zheng raised his eyebrows at the waiter and said, "Change mine to medium well too." He had never tried it that way before.

After the waiter left, the thought struck him how much of a perfect match Mu Lin and Mi Zheng were; both were equally good-looking. Seeing the waiter’s approval of them, Mi Zheng was quite taken.
