14 The Connection from a Painstaking Investigation

Er, this is the Leng Group?

As she looked at her surroundings, An Qi smiled silently. This was, after all, the most expensive district in the city. If she had not found it by using the navigation app, she would have thought that she was in the middle of a war zone.

The person who had ushered her in was hurriedly summoned away by some others after he had settled An Qi in.

"It seems that the Leng Group's boss is very stingy. He must have been tortured by the current staff before deciding to recruit new people." An Qi sat alone on the bench, murmuring to herself.

Meanwhile, in the MPV, Leng Yuchen sneezed again and again.

"Boss Leng, are you okay?" Sheng Jie tenderly handed him a tissue. He had never seen him sick. If Leng Yuchen had caught a cold because of his abruptness last night, he would surely be blamed for it!

"What are you thinking about? Do you know why you work overtime every day? It's because you have a good imagination!" Leng Yuchen did not take the tissue, but just sat in the backseat and closed his eyes after making this sarcastic comment to Sheng Jie.

Boss Leng can always read my mind! How can he analyze my thoughts so accurately? Sheng Jie wondered. Even if Leng Yuchen did not notice it, Sheng Jie was in awe of him. Especially after the code incident, Leng Yuchen was once again hailed as a god in his heart.

"Master, we are at Jinxiu Huating. Shall we drive in?" the driver turned to Leng Yuchen and asked.

Sheng Jie also looked at Leng Yuchen, awaiting further instructions. However, at this time, Leng Yuchen was silent, with his arms crossed in front of his chest and his eyes closed.

As the driver pressed down on the horn, someone popped his head out. After seeing that it was a luxury car, the man let them in without even asking them a single question.

The car started drove in slowly, while Leng Yuchen remained silent. At this moment, Sheng Jie patted the driver's seat repeatedly and shouted, "Just stop here!"

The driver stepped on the brakes immediately and stopped the car. The sudden stop almost caused the car behind them to ram into the back of them. Many cars behind them started to sound their horns in frustration.

"What's the matter?" one young man stepped out of his car and yelled. From the looks of his attire, he appeared to be middle-class, and he seemed to be an annoying kind of young man!

The driver stepped out and rushed over to him, while Leng Yuchen slowly opened his eyes. Sheng Jie saw the situation and hastened to say, "Boss Leng, this community is very old. As such, there is no monitoring system beyond the main gate. Regarding the woman you wish to find, I'm afraid that I do not know which block she lives in."

"So, you've come up with a good idea to create confusion and then approach the security?" he asked.

"Hmm..." Sheng Jie swallowed hard, but did not know how to answer.

Leng Yuchen's breathing suddenly quickened. Before he had left, Sheng Jie had pointed to Jinxiu Huating on the tablet with confidence, causing Leng Yuchen to miss noticing the woman who was squatting on the ground. As he thought of this, Leng Yuchen's chest was filled with an impending outbreak of anger.

"You have always been very reliable and have never made mistakes. So, why are you being so rash all of a sudden? You seem to not be yourself these two days? Answer me honestly, is the reason for this related to Leng Jin's return?" After Leng Yuchen asked this, Sheng Jie's heart skipped a few beats.

Although Sheng Jie did not dare to answer him, his expression fully exposed his thoughts and emotions.

"Well, it seems that the old people in the company still want him to inherit the family business..." Leng Yuchen said as he looked down, reached for a cigarette, and lit it. He then looked out of the window as many thoughts swirled in his mind.

"Let's go. I can feel that the woman is not here," he said, while taking a long drag on his cigarette.

"Huh?" Sheng Jie did not expect Boss Leng to give up so easily, but he soon regained his composure and opened the door to call the driver.

At that time, while standing beside the car, the young man was still clamoring. He flipped his golden hair, rolled up his sleeves, and exposed his tattooed arms. He then pointed at the driver's nose and spouted a mouthful of vulgarities.

"Don't talk nonsense, old man! You should go and find out who has the final say in this district. Are you tired of living?" the young man asked.

When Sheng Jie saw the situation, he quickly tried to remedy it. However, his intention was only resented and rebuffed by the young man, who began to shout even louder.

None of the people around them dared to come out and attempt to mediate the dispute. Not knowing what else to do, the driver and Sheng Jie looked at each other and took out their wallets. They knew that this young man was just out to extort some money from them.

However, just when the young man was smiling and awaiting his compensation, a loud bang was heard. Sheng Jie was shocked, so he took a few steps back.

By the time he and the driver had recovered from their shock, they saw that the young man's head was stuck in the hood of the chassis and could not move! There, standing next to the young man, was Leng Yuchen, still holding a cigarette!

"Drive back now! I don't want to repeat myself again." Leng Yuchen yelled at the driver as he took off his suit jacket and threw his cigarette butt on the young man.

As the young man moved unconsciously due to the contact with the hot cigarette butt, Leng Yuchen pulled open the car door and then got in. Seeing that the young man was still alive, Sheng Jie finally dared to take a breath and waved at the driver. Sheng Jie and the driver hurriedly got in the car and followed Leng Yuchen's instructions to drive back immediately.

The driver avoided the young man, who was now on the ground, and drove away. After the three men left, the security guards and onlookers began to reappear. They all looked at the weak and battered young man and began to whisper among themselves...

"Is this really the Yellow Hair who has been so domineering for all these years?"

"Yellow Hair? The one who wandered around aimlessly and brought along a group of people with him?"

Several bold men came closer to him, one of whom confirmed, "Yes, it's him! It's Yellow Hair... The one who gathered money from the gamblers!"

"Yellow Hair, who could not be subdued by the police, was unexpectedly beaten up by someone?"

"Yes, but it all happened too fast. I didn't see who did this to him."

"He looks like he will have to stop his evil deeds for a few years, so we ought to thank that man…"

Meanwhile, in the car, Leng Yuchen did not speak at all, which made Sheng Jie anxious. Since leaving the company, he had felt uneasy, as if he had missed out on something important.

When his boss had mentioned his big brother, Leng Jin, it felt like a sharp blade had ruthlessly pierced into his chest. Leng Yuchen also had a feeling that there was an inseparable link between the appearance of the woman and the return of his big brother. But, he could not comprehend what exactly it was.

After all, Leng Jin had been away from home for almost 20 years!
