Chapter 4213: Chapter 4201: Lin Yi’s Influence

The interrogation of Yao Zhaoqing and others lasted all night.

Wang Shuting and her team also endured the night.

"What’s up with this Yao Zhaoqing? Said he was calling a lawyer, but after we returned, he confessed everything," Wang Shuting said.

"It’s likely the lawyer analyzed the pros and cons for him. The evidence is irrefutable, he knows he can’t escape, so naturally, he confessed," Liu Xu said.

"You’re right, but now that the case has reached this point, it’s sort of concluded. We should be able to rest for a few days," Wang Shuting said, stretching lazily and yawning.

"The case is pretty much handled; you should go rest," Liu Xu suggested.

"I can’t; I still can’t leave," Wang Shuting replied.

"I want to wait for the leader to come over, to request permission to investigate someone," she continued.

Liu Xu looked at Wang Shuting, his apprentice whom he had personally mentored, already guessing what she intended to do.

"You aren’t planning to investigate that administrator, are you?"

In their eyes, Lin Yi was Fenglin International’s administrator, responsible for collecting rent, and they didn’t assume Fenglin International belonged to him.

"Hmm, I find him too strange; I’m really curious about what he actually does," she admitted.

"The leader might not agree; this isn’t a trivial matter," Liu Xu warned.

Wang Shuting chuckled, "No worries, we have a good relationship. Let’s eat first, and after that, the leader will be at work. Then I’ll approach him."

"Alright, let’s go," Liu Xu agreed.

After completing the case, they were in high spirits, heading to an outside breakfast shop. After eating, they returned to the precinct.

"Master, I’m going to talk to the leader; see you," Wang Shuting announced.

"Alright, go ahead," Liu Xu replied.

Having been busy all night, Liu Xu found a place to rest after breakfast, planning to continue working after some sleep.

Reaching the third floor, Wang Shuting found the leader’s office.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in," the voice invited.

With a creak, Wang Shuting pushed open the door, cheerfully speaking:

"Leader, busy as usual?"

"Seeing your face, I know it’s nothing good coming my way," Huang Shangli, the top boss, retorted.

"How could it be nothing good? I’m here to report work," Wang Shuting chirped as she walked in, taking a seat opposite Huang Shangli.

"How’s that case going?"

"It’s been mostly interrogated and can now proceed to the next phase," she replied.

Wang Shuting looked at Huang Shangli, "Leader, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

"What do you need? Tell me."

"I want to investigate a person," she stated.

"If there’s a suspect, just go ahead; why come to me?" Huang Shangli questioned.

"It’s not about a suspect; I want to check someone’s information, so I’d like you to grant me access," Wang Shuting requested.

"Who do you want to investigate? Such matters aren’t permitted unless absolutely necessary," he cautioned.

"His name is Lin Yi, the administrator of Fenglin International. During this case’s breakthrough, he was significantly helpful. In fact, without him, the case wouldn’t have been solved so quickly. So, I’m very curious about his identity and want to investigate him," she explained.

"Lin Yi..."

After hearing Wang Shuting’s description, Huang Shangli knew who she was talking about.

No wonder the case was solved so swiftly; with him involved, it’s a given.

"You should drop this. Also, don’t inquire about his matters, or else you’ll bear the consequences yourself," Huang Shangli warned.

Wang Shuting’s expression froze; even though she anticipated possible rejection, she hadn’t expected such a response.

Especially the bearing consequences part, which seemed particularly strange to her.

"Leader, is it that we can’t investigate this person?" she asked, puzzled.

"Regarding this, I can’t disclose much, but knowing him is another matter entirely. Regardless, you mustn’t delve into his identity; it’s not beneficial for you," he insisted, looking stern.

"This is an order, understood?"

Stunned, Wang Shuting stood for a while, utterly confused.

"Understood," she eventually replied.

Leaving the office without understanding the situation, it only convinced her further that Lin Yi had issues, his identity definitely not simple.

But the leader had instructed her not to pursue, warning about possibly unbearable consequences, leaving her to wisely give up.

...

Yunqing Group.

In the morning, the Li father and son arrived at the company.

Due to the incident at CRT bar, Li Zecheng’s reputation was severely damaged.

So much that he’s been lying low lately, going nowhere, sticking to home and work as a way to avoid gossip.

"Dad, have you come up with a solution? Why is there no progress?" Li Zecheng asked.

"Don’t rush; I’ve already called for help. Soon, there’ll be results," Li Shengqing reassured. "Meanwhile, stick around the company. Do some legitimate work; you’ll need to succeed me someday."

"I know, but before I take over, he must be taught a lesson," Li Zecheng insisted.

He’s been having rough days. Initially hoping to suppress those leaked videos through measures, it was ineffective, and the videos spread even further.

Now, everyone in the circle knows about him being forced to down six bottles of alcohol, making him the laughingstock.

Li Zecheng is well-aware this isn’t coincidental, undoubtedly Qin Han is manipulating behind the scenes.

If he doesn’t relieve this grudge, he can’t gain any standing in Zhong Hai.

"Dad, can’t we handle Qin Han aside from Lingyun Group?"

"Don’t rush; everything must be tackled one step at a time. I’ll help you reclaim your dignity," Li Shengqing assured.

Knock—knock—knock—

At that moment, the office door was rapped upon, and before Li Shengqing could say anything, his secretary entered unannounced.

"DirectorLi, something’s wrong; a dozen suppliers have chosen not to collaborate with us," the secretary reported.

"Hmm?"

This news took the father and son by surprise.

"Why, all of a sudden?"

"They didn’t specify, but all stated they won’t cooperate anymore. With the factory’s stock, it’s hard to last a week," the secretary explained.

This information worried the Li family; losing cooperation with Lingyun Group was manageable, but losing so many suppliers at once hugely impacts the group. Finding replacements promptly during such a pressing time is nearly impossible.

"DirectorLi, could this be connected to Lingyun Group?"

Li Shengqing’s expression turned grim.

Lingyun Group has been in this industry for years; considering current events, it seems plausible.

"DirectorLi!"

Just then, another hurried voice called out, and soon, the general manager of Yunqing Group entered.

"DirectorLi, this batch’s official procurement list has excluded us!"
