"Mr. Jiang, this Du Enqin is very suspicious."
It wasn't just Jiang Chen watching the live broadcast.
There were also Xu Kuan and Pei Yunxi.
The verbal duel and mind-games between Wei Yi and Du Enqin were no less exciting than the Spring Festival Gala sketches, perhaps even more intriguing.
And the complexity of Du Enqin's character was exposed in full detail.
"She obviously knows the clues, yet she keeps giving excuses, concealing without reporting. If it weren't for being cornered by Wei Yi, she probably wouldn't have spoken up. Her intentions are questionable."
"Maybe she just doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water."
Compared to Xu Kuan, Jiang Chen seemed indifferent, his expression calm as he explained, "Business people never actively court trouble."
"But she's clearly stepped right in."
Pei Yunxi responded, "With her intelligence, she should know that having someone help you save people means there's no staying out of it."
The factory was bombed.
And Xia Chuchen was kidnapped.
They seem like two separate events, but they could potentially be investigated together for now.
The live broadcast had ended.
Jiang Chen nodded, "You have a point."
After agreeing with Pei Yunxi's opinion, he turned around and asked Xu Kuan, "How much do you know about this Boss Du's background?"
"Before Mr. Jiang came to Myanmar, I had no dealings with her. I just know that the Peace Hotel holds significant sway in Myanmar. Being able to establish the hotel across the entire Myanmar, isn't something an ordinary person could achieve."
You could tell from her tone just now about the little background.
"Mr. Jiang, why don't we directly arrest this Boss Du for now? We can find out her background with some interrogation."
"Whatever you do, it needs to be based on facts and evidence. Remember, you're different from the people here."
Xu Kuan immediately quieted down, refraining from speaking further.
Based on facts, evidence.
Is this to promote a new civilized atmosphere?
Is it because of her significant contributions, or perhaps on account of her being a woman?
Of course.
As a fellow woman, Pei Yunxi surely agrees and supports someone's character, regardless of whether it's out of gratitude or empathy.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The sound of knocking on the door echoes.
Xu Kuan goes to answer the door.
"Mr. Xu."
Wei Yi came in, removing the pinhole camera embedded in his military uniform pocket.
"Might make you lose a friend."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Wei Yi stood as straight as a javelin.
"She and I are not friends."
For some reason, looking at this high-ranking warlord officer, Pei Yunxi suddenly found someone quite agreeable.
It's not about right or wrong.
At least there's warmth.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll head out first."
Xu Kuan said.
The Allied Army can no longer be trusted; some things are more reliable when done personally.
Jiang Chen nodded.
Xu Kuan left first.
"Weren't you very familiar with her? How are you not friends?"
Jiang Chen continued as if chatting casually.
"As long as there's value in it, she can get close to anyone."
Such a straight-talking guy.
Not only to himself, but these words clearly wrapped Boss Jiang in them too.
"So you don't know her specific background either? From what she said just now, she seemed to know General Jin?"
"She should know more than just General Jin."
Indeed.
In business, having no connections is impractical, especially in a fragmented place like Myanmar, where organizing one faction is not enough; every group needs arranging.
"Why suspect her then?"
Jiang Chen asked casually.
"With so many branches of the Peace Hotel, she has remained in Karuzi; I can only think she harbors ulterior motives toward Mr. Jiang. Other than that, I can't think of any possibilities."
The eyes of the masses are insightful.
Wei Yi's thoughts coincided with Xu Kuan's, highly consistent, and even the goddess Pei sitting next had reminded him before.
Journey to the West has taught us.
Being handsome, is useless. Master Tang was quite handsome, but those who approach are man-eating demons without a doubt.
"Mr. Jiang, to avoid unnecessary risks, I suggest keeping Du Enqin under control."
"If she really makes a report call to General Jin, how would you explain? Although General Jin entrusted you to investigate this matter fully, it doesn't mean he wants you to abuse power."
Subsequently, Jiang Chen understandingly said, "Go ahead with your tasks."
Wei Yi nodded slightly and then left the room.
"You're good at reading people, what's your evaluation of him?"
Jiang Chen said casually.
"How much benefit did he get from you," Pei Yunxi asked.
Jiang Chen shrugged, "This is the first time I've met him since coming to Myanmar."
"Under the current circumstances, you probably don't have a better choice."
Jiang Chen was surprised, turned his head, "Choice?"
Pei Yunxi's cheeks were elegant.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The knocking sounded again.
Pei Yunxi got up on her own initiative to open the door.
"I'm looking for Mr. Jiang."
At the door.
The Peace Hotel's lady boss, Du Enqin, who had been deceived yet fully believed, stood at the door, politely smiling.
Pei Yunxi opened the door, stepped aside, not at all surprised, and then walked out.
"Miss Pei?"
"I'm going out for a walk, you two chat."
Du Enqin silently watched her pass by, then entered the room and closed the door.
"Mr. Jiang is indeed fortunate."
Jiang Chen showed no signs of being cornered, overly composed, casually inviting, "Boss Du, please have a seat."
Du Enqin sat on the single sofa without hesitation.
"Why hasn't Mr. Jiang found Enqin directly?"
Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "I thought Deputy Officer Wei was more familiar with Boss Du, hence easier for communication."
Even if not exactly Journey to the West, it was close to an intriguing tale.
None of them were ordinary foxes indeed.
"Does Mr. Jiang define familiarity by the length of time? Then Mr. Jiang must not have heard of the theory of time duration."
