At this moment, Zhou Hu was covered in a cold sweat.
It wasn’t until now that he realized the seriousness of the issue at hand. To save Guan Changming and his brothers, they had to downplay this sensational incident, which, in a sense, was to give those criminals a way out.
But if they did that, wouldn’t the sacrifice of their two brothers have been in vain?
And Captain Guan’s daring deed would also go to waste.
Zhang Yang spoke with great seriousness, "If you have a way to see Captain Guan and the others, you can ask for their opinion. I will respect your choice."
With a bitter smile, Zhou Hu said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang Yang, but unfortunately, no one can see Captain Guan and the others now."
"The investigation regarding this matter is still in a confidential stage."
Then, biting his teeth, Zhou Hu said to Zhang Yang, "Mr. Zhang Yang, let’s pretend that I never made this call to you today."
By saying this, Zhou Hu was giving up the opportunity to ask for Zhang Yang’s help.
Because Zhou Hu understood that even if he did ask for Captain Guan’s opinion, there would only be one answer, which was that they could not let their brothers die in vain.
If Zhou Hu had thought of this earlier, he wouldn’t have called Zhang Yang in the first place.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang’s expression was not very pleasant.
Zhou Hu was a rather honest man and had not realized he was being used, but Zhang Yang could see through it.
That so-called leadership conversation, the saying "the person who tied the bell on the tiger must take it off," it was all deliberately made for Zhou Hu to hear, wasn’t it?
Who could wield such power? Other than the Chen Family, Zhang Yang could think of no one else.
They were supposed to meet that night, and yet now they were playing this trick on him. Was this a show of power, or a threat?
Whatever it was, Zhang Yang was growing more and more disgusted with the Chen Family.
Feeling upset, Zhang Yang went directly to Jiang Meiren’s home.
He indeed was looking forward to meeting with the Chen Family.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Meiren hadn’t returned yet.
Mr. Jiang was also not at home; only Jiang Meiren’s mother, Lin Yueru, was there.
Zhang Yang immediately thought of the misunderstanding that night when, due to a series of blunders, he mistook Lin Yueru for Jiang Meiren.
To make matters worse, it happened twice. Although Lin Yueru was somewhat resistant afterward.
However, Zhang Yang had planted a seed in Lin Yueru’s heart.
He wondered what Lin Yueru’s state of mind would be upon seeing him after these days.
As Zhang Yang entered the Jiang Family home, a butler greeted him, "Young Master Zhang Yang, our miss instructed that when you return, treat this place as your own home, and feel free to make yourself comfortable."
Zhang Yang heard this but didn’t take it seriously. Jiang Meiren was good to him.
However, Zhang Yang also knew that Mr. Jiang seemed to have some reservations about him.
So Zhang Yang didn’t want to make Jiang Meiren uncomfortable and simply told the butler, "Just find me a quiet place to stay, and if possible, make me a cup of tea."
"Of course, Young Master Zhang Yang."
The butler then led Zhang Yang to the balcony at the back, which overlooked a large swimming pool, and beyond that, a garden with an open view.
Sitting under a sun umbrella, Zhang Yang enjoyed the soothing breeze and admired the distant scenery, feeling completely at ease.
As for Lin Yueru, Zhang Yang didn’t ask.
Presumably, Lin Yueru already knew of his arrival, but since she didn’t come out, she probably didn’t want to see him. Asking too much might arouse suspicion.
Zhang Yang sipped his tea comfortably and couldn’t help but reflect that although money wasn’t everything, it truly could bring comfort.
This is probably the reason why everyone wants to desperately make money, the poor to improve their life, the wealthy to enjoy life.
As Zhang Yang was lost in his thoughts, a sudden splash drew his attention.
Looking down at the pool, he immediately saw Lin Yueru, lithe and wearing a sexy bikini, swimming in the pool, moving as gracefully as a mermaid.
The moment her pert buttocks surfaced, the sight was stunning.
Zhang Yang also watched with relish, finding it hard to believe that she was a woman in her forties.
She was so well-maintained that she could easily compare with younger women.
However, he hadn’t expected such a coincidence, to actually bump into Lin Yueru here.
His visit here was on a whim, and even the butler hadn’t expected Lin Yueru to decide to come for a swim after his arrival.
Otherwise, the butler would most likely not have brought him over here.
Since he had seen her, it was only natural for Zhang Yang to greet her, and just then, Lin Yueru rested at the edge of the pool.
From Zhang Yang’s angle, he could clearly see the surging waves in front of her chest.
That night, the lights had been off the entire time, and he could only feel Lin Yueru’s size, but not see it.
Now, looking at her, she was indeed very voluptuous, and soft to the touch.
Most importantly, so white! He wondered if it was the result of frequent beauty treatments, for Lin Yueru’s skin was truly very fair.
And it looked so glossy and beautiful.
Further down, there was her tight little abdomen, still showing abs at her age—a rare sight.
Then there was the fullness of her bikini area, with beautiful contours.
Zhang Yang recalled the feel from that night, soft and supple, with a very spacious layout.
"Auntie, you’ve become even more beautiful since I last saw you,"
he said with a smile as he greeted Lin Yueru.
But the sudden voice startled Lin Yueru.
With a sharp lift of her head, she saw Zhang Yang’s handsome and bright smiling face under the sun; Lin Yueru was momentarily dazed, finding the sunny, cheerful young man extremely appealing.
But then quickly, Lin Yueru also remembered the absurdity of that night.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, but she recovered her composure and said to Zhang Yang in an indifferent tone, "What are you doing here? Who brought you?"
Zhang Yang replied with a smile, "The butler brought me. I asked for a quiet place to wait for Jiang Meiren to return, so he brought me here."
"So, I was the first to come, Aunt Lin, please don’t blame the butler."
After hearing this, Lin Yueru huffed softly and then said indifferently, "How I manage my servants is none of your business."
Zhang Yang shook his head and silently mourned for that butler for one second.
At that moment, Lin Yueru noticed Zhang Yang staring intently at her body, which made her panic internally.
Yet deep down, she felt an inexplicable joy. She spent over ten million each year on maintaining her body, surely not much less than any young girl.
But soon after, Lin Yueru mocked herself. What was she proud of?
Could it be that she was longing for Zhang Yang’s appreciation?
Lin Yueru quickly shook her head, casting aside the inappropriate thoughts and proceeded to climb out of the pool. She couldn’t expose herself in front of Zhang Yang, as it could easily be misunderstood by others.
However, suddenly, Lin Yueru let out a cry of alarm, and then she tumbled back into the pool.
