Chapter 542: Investigating the Monitoring System

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu entered the living room.

“Are there surveillance cameras in internet cafes?” Ling Yun directed the question to Tang Meng.

“They will be as long as it wasn’t an underground establishment,” Tang Meng replied promptly.

“Great!” Ling Yun exclaimed in delight. He picked Li Gang up from the floor. “I want to make a trip there now!”

Ling Yun used telepathy to tell them to keep a watchful eye on Luo Erfeng. He would deal with her when he got back.

Ling Yun threw Li Gang into the passenger’s seat of the Land Rover. He then popped Li Gang’s jaw back into place before he left Mansion Number One.

It was nearing evening and rush hour, which resulted in Ling Yun hitting a serious traffic jam after he exited the Qingxi Villa District. However, he wasn’t in a hurry.

It took Ling Yun one whole hour to cover ten kilometers and arrive at the intersection where he was hit. Night had fallen.

The interaction was remote. It was less than a kilometer from Qingshui High. Even so, there was little traffic.

“Where did the accident occur?” Ling Yun stopped the car and asked Li Gang.

“Right there…” Li Gang pointed seven or eight meters away, his hand still nursing his jaw.

Li Gang was right.

Ling Yun nodded at the confirmation. “Where was that black Audi Q7 parked?”

“It was parked there, though it drove away almost immediately after Wang Lei left.” Li Gang pointed to a place about two hundred meters away.

“Where is the internet cafe you spoke about?” Ling Yun continued to probe.

“About four hundred meters away from this intersection on the left side of the road, ” Li Gang replied and gave him a direction.

Ling Yun drove to the internet cafe immediately.

“Get out!” Ling Yun barked after he stopped the car.

“I… I can’t walk…” Li Gang bowed his head and looked at his throbbing legs.

“You have to walk even if you can’t. I’ll let you live if you do well today. Otherwise, I’ll ensure you die horribly!” Ling Yun flashed an angelic smile while issuing his threat.

Li Gang went pale. He could only get out of the car while enduring the pain. Every step he took was accompanied by immense pain caused by the needles lodged in his thighs.

They went straight into the cafe.

It was a mid-range internet cafe with two floors. Each level had more than a hundred machines. The cashier was located about three meters to the left of the door.

It wasn’t at its peak business hours yet, so there were only about thirty people inside. Most of them were playing online games, and if not, they were watching movies or chatting on the net.

“Do you want to use a computer?” a girl asked casually when she saw them walking in.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was of medium height with a neat bob cut. She looked ordinary, but she had a pair of lively eyes. She was sizing Ling Yun up ever since he came in. He looked familiar.

“Perhaps later…” Ling Yun replied, grabbing Li Gang’s arm and going in. He proceeded to the first row of computers and glanced at the entire computer room. “Where were you sitting?” Ling Yun asked.

Li Gang gritted his teeth and pointed to the rightmost computer on the second row. “I sat here for two consecutive nights.”

Ling Yun went to the designated machine and turned towards the counter. Yes, it was the best spot to observe the counter.

“How about the other two?” Ling Yun asked.

Li Gang pointed to the machine on the left. “That sturdy man in a suit was in the second row as well. He was beside me.”

“What about the other one?”

Li Gang pondered. “I don’t quite remember since he was too normal looking. However, it seemed like he never left the first row…”

“Where was Ling Yun sitting?”

“He would be at the cash register or playing games on a computer in the first row…” Li Gang pointed to the computer Ling Yun used.

No one was using that computer currently. It was off.

Ling Yun couldn’t help but suck in cold air. These people really kept a close eye on Ling Yun!

“Alright, you can go out now!”

Ling Yun took Li Gang to the Land Rover, sealed his mute acupuncture point and numbing acupuncture point, and threw him into the car.

Ling Yun learned what he needed to, now he had to obtain the footage from March!

Ling Yun returned to the cashier. “Can I discuss something with you, beautiful?”

Ling Yun flashed his signature smile.

It worked pretty well. She couldn’t help but smile back at Ling Yun. “What is it, handsome?”

“I want to take a look at your footage from March, is that okay?” Ling Yun asked.

The girl became vigilant. “What do you want that for? We don’t have it…”

Ling Yun giggled and pointed his finger at the camera above her head. “There seems to be…”

“Even if there is, I can’t let you see it. This belongs to the internet cafe, and you aren’t with the police…” She blushed.

Ling Yun frowned, wondering how to get the footage when he noticed a very beautiful figure entering the internet cafe.

The woman was about thirty years old, around 186 cm tall, and she had long, straight hair and perfect eyebrows. Her nose was straight, and her skin was fair. Her body even had nice curves, a perfect S-figure no matter which angle one viewed her from.

She was a super beauty, though her eyes were cold, which seemed to push people away.

She was very beautiful, and she exuded a cold aura. This was the boss of the internet cafe, Xu Bingyan

She was also the pretty widow who searched for Ling Yun. She had a nickname — Xi Shi of the internet cafe.

“Yanzi, I bought you some dumplings for dinner. Eat them while they’re hot…”

Xu Bingyan entered the internet cafe and walked straight to the cashier. She handed over a bento box to Yanzi.

“Thank you, Big Sister Xu!”

Yanzi turned her attention to Xu Bingyan when she saw her and took the bento box.

“Oh yes, Big Sister Xu, this person says he wants to take a look at our surveillance footage,” Yanzi told Xu Bingyan.

Xu Bingyan was taken aback. She turned to look at Ling Yun. Coincidentally, Ling Yun also turned around to look at her. Their eyes locked.

“Who are you? Why do you want to see our footage?” Xu Bingyan asked curtly.

Ling Yun’s appearance and temperament had completely changed in the last two months, so Xu Bingyan couldn’t recognize him either. However, both she and Yanzi felt that this person looked really familiar.

Ling Yun lost more than sixty kilograms and had transformed from his former sickly self to a confident young man with handsome features.

“I’m Ling Yun. I have to take a look at your footage from March because there is something I have to check,” Ling Yun replied without hesitation.

“L-Ling Yun? Which Ling Yun?” Xu Bingyan exclaimed.

“What? Y-you are L-L-L-L-Ling Yun?” Yanzi’s reaction was even more exaggerated. She almost spat out the dumpling in her mouth.

That was awkward. Ling Yun laughed bitterly. He must have known them since they obviously knew who he was. He just didn’t remember them.

“Erm… Big Sister Xu, I’m Ling Yun from Qingshui High. I worked here in March…” Ling Yun explained.

Xu Bingyan was filled with shock. Her gaze went up and down Ling Yun’s body several times. “You are Ling Yun? H-how is this possible?”

Of course, she was shocked, Ling Yun slimmed down too much and too fast.

Yanzi rushed out from behind the counter and grabbed all around Ling Yun unceremoniously. “It’s you, fatass? How did you slim down so fast? I thought you looked familiar! How did you slim down?”

“That’s a long story…” Ling Yun smiled bitterly.

Xu Bingyan took a closer look at Ling Yun’s face and imagined how the Ling Yun she knew would look if he lost weight. She began to believe him.

“You really are Ling Yun…” Xu Bingyan muttered under her breath.

“Yes, it’s me.” Ling Yun grinned.

“Don’t move!” Xu Bingyan’s face turned even colder than when she arrived.

“This is your salary from March, a total of two thousand four hundred yuan. Check it!” Xu Bingyan took out a thick envelope from the drawer and handed it to Ling Yun.

“Big Sister Xu, I’m not here for money…” Ling Yun rejected the stack of money.

“Take your money and go! We don’t welcome you here!” Xu Bingyan said coldly.
