Was it fun for her to keep badmouthing her behind her back?
To the Gu Family, she, He Zhilan, was nothing but an outsider. Who would genuinely care for an outsider?
Even if she, He Zhilan, was accused of something today, even if she committed a crime, the worst the Gu family would do was hear about it.
However, only through such continuous small actions did He Zhilan realize that her inaction alone could push Gu En to such desperation.
Just imagine how tormented Gu En must feel, day and night, and how scared he must be.
Chen Yun was quick to gather information. By Tuesday, he had called He Zhilan, but unfortunately, there was no good news.
The tattoo shop owner indeed remembered the two men who got tattoos on their tiger mouths, but he wasn’t sure what they do. On the other hand, there were some clues at the motel, from a regular female customer, because the man Zhilan met was a regular of that woman.
The woman revealed that the man Zhilan met seemed to work for someone named Snake Brother. Following this lead, Chen Yun traced it back surprisingly to Ding Long.
The two men with the tattoo disappeared in the capital. Chen Yun had looked for them for several days with his team but found no trace of them.
Lin Chan suggested they stopped the search. Because Ding Long was not like Gu En. Ding Long was much more cunning than ten Gu Ens combined. So either Ding Long had killed them off or had arranged for them to leave the capital and go into hiding.
"Zhilan, Ding Long may have come out of the military too, but he’s ruthless! For him, killing a few people is no more complicated than chopping a couple of radishes. Clearly, with Ding Long Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories. So, if we want to find clues from Ding Long, it would probably be harder than climbing to heaven."
All Chen Yun could do was curse, showing his anger.
"However, this explains why Gu En could anticipate our actions," Lin Chan glanced at Chen Yun and continued, "There are quite a few former servicemen in your police department. Certainly, some of them must be on good terms with Ding Long. Thus, Ding Long’s well-planned actions make sense. Furthermore, given Ding Long’s meticulous nature, he would definitely not leave any loose ends. The truck driver would have been dealt with by Ding Long sooner or later."
"It seems a major purge is in order in the department. It’s a good thing we discovered this early. Otherwise, if it had happened at a critical time in the future, it would have been fatal." Chen Yun looked grim, and he was also upset. After all, all these people were brought in by him. He, Chen Yun, might show no mercy to others, but he was always warm to his brothers.
The three of them had a quick lunch near the police station and then parted ways. Lin Chan dropped off Chen Yun at the police station first, then took He Zhilan back to school.
Lin Chan played by his own rules and thought nothing of the school regulation prohibiting outsiders from entering freely. Even if the school’s leaders had instructed the guards to not allow Lin Chan in, nobody dared to stop him when he arrived.
However, Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting, looking anxious, stopped Lin Chan’s car before it had reached the girls’ dormitory.
