Chapter 600: Chapter 593: Closing the Net
Unable to go out, Bai Yiran didnât want to trouble the two men, so she closed the door and returned to the living room.
"Mom, arenât we going out?" Xiao Lang asked.
Bai Yiran felt a bit uneasy inside but didnât intend to vent on the child. She bent down and touched Xiao Langâs head, "Not today, Xiao Lang. Be good~"
"Oh." Xiao Lang pouted in disappointment and walked away.
Looking at the door, Bai Yiran wondered how long Leng Yichen planned to keep her locked up.
In the policeâs safety house, Leng Yichen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, while opposite him, Gao Sheng was carefully tasting tea, "The tea Mr. Leng sent is indeed extraordinary, authentic Da Hong Pao!"
Leng Yichen looked at Gao Sheng with indifference and recounted what happened today: Bai Yiran sneaking to Wu Chengzuâs house and what they discovered there.
Gao Sheng raised an eyebrow and laughed heartily, "Mr. Lengâs wife is indeed a remarkable woman! Actually, I had the same thought before."
"That thought?" Leng Yichen frowned, glaring at Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Oh, Mr. Leng, donât glare at me like that! I just said I had the thought, but I didnât actually go looking for your wife!"
Or rather, Gao Sheng never had the chance to approach Bai Yiran. He did consider it when he realized Wu Chengzu was especially caring towards her. It sparked a thought in his mind, much like when he had once encouraged Bai Yiran to approach Yin Tianshen to investigate Yin Hao. This time, it was just more direct towards the person involved.
Itâs just that Leng Yichenâs protection of Bai Yiran was so thorough. For a while, Gao Sheng didnât have the chance to meet Bai Yiran alone. He was afraid of overdoing it and triggering Leng Yichenâs wrath. In the end, he had to give up.
He didnât expect that after learning the truth, Bai Yiran would make this decision on her own.
The information Bai Yiran provided couldnât be used immediately, but at the very least, it provided a new lead for their investigation.
A woman...
Gao Sheng had always suspected that Nawa Group wasnât just led by Wu Chengzu alone. They had once investigated the call records of Wu Chengzu and his core personnel, and it was very clean, with hardly any suspicious calls.
So how did he conduct business, and how did he determine the delivery dates and addresses?
This was always something Gao Sheng couldnât figure out. He thought Wu Chengzu might have been using satellite phones or opening numbers with someone elseâs ID, but there were too many possibilities, which made the investigation difficult. However, through Bai Yiranâs discovery today, there might be a breakthrough.
That woman is the key external contact for the Nawa Group!
Gao Sheng fell into deep thought.
Leng Yichen looked at him, feeling a bit impatient. He didnât want to wait any longer; as long as Wu Chengzu was not eliminated, he and Bai Yiran couldnât live a normal life.
The phone rang at this time, interrupting Gao Shengâs thoughts. He looked at Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen took out his phone; it was Bai Yiran calling. He initially wanted to reject the call but ultimately answered it, "Hello."
"How long do you plan to keep me locked up?"
Bai Yiranâs tone was very calm, which surprised Leng Yichen. He thought this girl would call to cause a scene, to yell at him, but instead, she just calmly asked how long she was to be kept locked up.
It seemed he had underestimated Bai Yiranâs endurance.
"Until I think itâs safe." Leng Yichen replied in a deep voice.
"Alright." Bai Yiran paused before continuing, "Then come home when you think itâs safe."
With that, Bai Yiran hung up the phone.
Leng Yichen held the phone that was already disconnected, unsure of what expression to make on his face for a moment.
"Whatâs wrong? Is it your wife?" Gao Sheng asked, noticing Leng Yichenâs strange expression.
"Hmm." Leng Yichen replied sullenly.
"Kicked you out of the house?" Gao Sheng asked with a hint of schadenfreude.
Leng Yichen looked up at him, eyes sharp! "Howâs the situation with Yin Tianshen? Are your police about ready to close the net?"
Gao Sheng placed the teacup down heavily, confidence gleaming in his eyes, "This time, we absolutely wonât let him get away again!"
