The results showed that it was Lin Mu who had hit someone, but when he came out, his face was not looking good at all. Even the couple who had gone in earlier looked extremely angry.
The development of the situation caught Jiang Jinchuan off guard. He initially thought it was just a simple hit-and-run, but now it seemed to involve other matters as well. After the accident, Lin Mu should have reported it to the police immediately. What were they supposed to do now?
Lin Mu's father was on the verge of glaring someone to death. "I didn’t know she would actually die! At that time, how could the car possibly catch fire? There must be something else going on here!"
Faced with these accusations, Lin Mu's first instinct was to quickly refute them. He couldn’t let this fall on him; he still had to inherit the Lin family business.
"Do you think everyone else is a fool? The surveillance footage is right there!" He felt an overwhelming urge to kick someone again. How could he have such a foolish son?
"I was just anxious and didn’t react in time," Lin Mu stammered, but his words sounded like they were about two different matters.
Lin Yuan glanced at Jiang Jinchuan, who had just entered. Jiang Jinchuan approached with a somewhat speechless shake of his head and pulled out another document from the files.
"This isn’t just a hit-and-run. He was also racing on the highway when the accident occurred, and another driver was trapped inside their vehicle and died on the spot due to the fire."
This situation was far more serious than just being detained for a hit-and-run. Lin Yuan hadn’t expected him to be so reckless.
The couple sitting nearby also looked surprised, though their expressions didn’t change much since it wasn’t their son involved. After understanding what had happened over there, they turned their attention back to the exchange between Lin Yuan and Jiang Jinchuan.
Even a fool could see that Lin Yuan and this consultant seemed to have some connection.
"We will handle the compensation matter over there; I’m not sure if we can..." One of them started to say, but before they could finish, Lin Yuan directly returned the document to Jiang Jinchuan and added, "I still have some matters to attend to. If you don’t need me anymore, I’ll take my leave."
Jiang Jinchuan had no excuse to keep him there.
"Wait a moment!" They wanted to follow up but were stopped by Jiang Jinchuan.
"I'm sorry, but this is the police station. That area is for office use; you cannot enter."
"Office?"
A hint of confusion appeared in both of their eyes. If that Lin Yuan was truly the person they were looking for, shouldn't he be delivering takeout right now? Why was he at the police station instead? Was it possible that the information had been wrong?
"Excuse me, could we ask what this child’s name is?"
"He’s called Lin Yuan, and he’s currently a consultant at our district police station."
"Consultant???"
That didn’t seem right. Jiang Jinchuan felt puzzled by their response, but seeing the resemblance between Lin Yuan and Lin Mu, he had begun to form some guesses in his mind.
"Let’s keep personal matters private." With that remark, he turned to leave.
Lin Mu's parents, standing beside him, exchanged glances filled with resentment. The Lin family fortune was limited; how much more could they gain with another person around?
"Those two can’t possibly be your biological parents, right? Lin Yuan? Can’t you answer my question?"
Jiang Jinchuan, who had gone through so much trouble to follow them, was genuinely curious.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. "I only have one set of parents; there aren’t any others."
"So that means you are part of the Lin family? They must have quite a bit of money."
In truth, even Lin Yuan hadn’t considered that his parents had such a backstory; otherwise, why would he have spent so many years delivering takeout?
Jiang Jinchuan noticed this detail as well. "Let’s not dwell on it too much; after all, they can’t do anything to you now."
"Let’s put that aside for now. I really do have something to attend to. If there’s nothing else, you should head off."
Lin Yuan genuinely didn’t have time to entertain him.
"It’s not easy for me to come here; I should at least greet the consultant. We can at least have lunch together, right?"
Since he had said so, Lin Yuan felt he had no choice but to comply.
The Lin family members below were still hoping to talk to Lin Yuan when he unexpectedly drove away from the back of the police station.
On the other side, Shangguan Yao was preparing to meet again; she planned to wait around a bit. They had agreed to meet at the same café as before.
Shangguan Yao had changed into a more casual outfit this time, less ostentatious than before. She also noticed that the other party didn’t bring anything with them this time. Moreover, it wasn’t the same person as last time.
"Is there a problem on your end?"
Qing She—no, she should be called Zhou Xuan now.
Zhou Xuan adjusted her glasses and offered a smile that was uniquely that of a cultured rogue.
"No, it's just that I have other responsibilities to attend to, so I'm not available at the moment."
Shangguan Yao tapped the table, neither probing nor pressing further.
"I remember I agreed to all the conditions you mentioned last time. Are you here to amend the contract, or do you have other ideas?"
After all, she was merely engaging in a transaction; as long as the cooperating party remained unchanged, it didn't matter.
"There are no issues with the contract itself. As for other ideas, there are indeed areas where we need Miss Shangguan's assistance."
He took another document from someone behind him.
Shangguan Yao took it and glanced at it. It was a list of company shares and capital injections, along with information about the industry involved.
"What use is this to me?"
"I am the legal representative of this company, and our boss wishes to expand it overseas. If there are domestic projects available, we will take them on as well."
She stared at the man in front of her for a moment, flipping only the top page without looking further down.
"What do you want me for?"
"We hope Miss Shangguan can lend us a hand. We will also provide reasonable compensation."
"This one is specifically for you, Miss Shangguan."
A black bank card appeared before her.
"There’s no password."
Shangguan Yao's fingers twitched slightly.
She indeed had little say within the Shangguan family; after all, most of their business was overseas, and there were few willing to operate domestically anymore.
In other words, this was also an opportunity for her.
Seeing this realization in her eyes, Zhou Xuan continued to speak.
"The younger generation must have their own ideas. The Shangguan family is likely in a phase where various descendants are rising to prominence, right? I wonder if Miss Shangguan has any supporters behind her?"
"There are some," she replied, "but they are reluctant to invest so much capital in me."
