Chapter 580: 580 Hatching A Plan

Li Caiyi nodded. "Huang Zhen seems to have issues with Ye Wang too. Do you think that issue is related to this organization we are currently searching for?"

"There is a high chance for that. To summarize this matter, there are 3 important actors in this case. It's Ye Wang, Huang Zhen, and the Li family."

"The Li family?"

Detective Tang nodded, "If I think back about our previous conversation, I become more convinced that your father is probably hiding something. Suppose Huang Zhen really related to that organization. It means the only string that connects you and him is your father. In that case, it's strange that he keeps showing himself in front of you, despite knowing that your father is not part of your family anymore."

Li Caiyi bit her lips before admitting. "Actually, there is another reason. Huang Zhen, also after Ye Wang's sole heir, Ye Zhong. And my boyfriend's task is to guard that kid."

Detective Tang smirked playfully, hearing that. "I see. No wonder Young Miss is so cold towards men. But then, what about Young Master Meng? He clearly has a thing for you."

Li Caiyi coughed awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed by this topic. "Anyway, I want to say that Huang Zhen is probably targeting me because he knows I will become Zhiqiang's weakness."

"Hmm, I can see your point, but that reasoning has many flaws. I'm more inclined to believe that he targeted you specifically for a definite reason."

"But then, why didn't he target you or Mr. Chu? If Ye Wang is not the one who chased after us before, then it could only be Huang Zhen."

Detective Tang mulled over the possibility while frowning deeply. "If I have to make a wild guess, then it must be because you have a higher chance of discovering the truth. I said it before, right? The Li family probably held another secret, and as a part of that family, you will eventually figure it out after some time."

Li Caiyi was astonished by his reasoning. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was. "Detective, how is your surveillance on my father coming?"

"So far, I haven't found any clues from him. He behaves cautiously like he knows he's being watched."

"He is probably wary since Brother Renshu offered the position so easily to him. How about his house?"

"It's no good, either. The security in his house is pretty tight. I can probably do something about it, but it will take time. However, I found something suspicious regarding Gu Xue."

Li Caiyi leaned her body forward in anticipation. "What is it?"

"Gu Xue and your father only met once a week, and every time they did, Gu Xue always went to the same place the next day. It's a high-end club where rich and influential people gather.

Gu Xue is not the type of person who can go there, so I looked into it a bit more. Sadly, that place is heavily guarded, and one couldn't enter without membership, so I couldn't find out who she was meeting up with."

"Is there nothing we can do? Should I check on that place?"

"That will be very helpful, but that place is highly exclusive even among high society people. It's a place where people can discuss their shady business without worry. I doubt a child like you will be allowed to enter, no matter how rich you are."

That means even Meng Renshu probably wouldn't be allowed to enter as well. Li Caiyi's shoulder slumped in disappointment. They were already so close but were left to grasp the air in the end.

How to find out who Gu Xue was meeting up with? If only she knew a powerful and influential adult to help her.

As that thought flashed across her mind, she was suddenly reminded of the pocket watch in her bag.

'That's right. There is one person who can help me with this.' Li Caiyi perked up.

"What's wrong?"

"No, I'm okay," Li Caiyi collected herself before asking again, "Say, do you think we can trust Ye Huizhong?"

"He is a shady and ruthless man with many enemies, which causes misfortune for many people. I advise you to refrain from involving yourself too much with him. Even Kong said we shouldn't rely on him too much."

"I know. But what if he is the only one who can help us with this?"

Detective Tang looked at her stubborn face and smiled helplessly. "Young Miss, whatever you are thinking about, I hope you remember that you are currently facing a big organization with dark secrets. You should thread more carefully—"

"It's too late. I already have one of my feet stuck in this mess. I might as well use my other leg to help me escape."

"If you must know, Ye Huizhong is unscrupulous, but he is a man of his word. Especially regarding business, if you catch my drift."

By 'business' he must refer to information trading.

Ye Huizhong still owed her some information after she revealed many things to him. She was also curious about how much he knew about everything.

If their interests aligned, they probably could work together.

Detective Tang left as soon as they finished talking. Li Junjie rose from his seat and approached her.

"Have you finished talking?"

Li Caiyi looked at him wryly. "Until when are you going to follow me around like this?"

"Until I'm completely sure that you will be fine."

"Did you hear what I was talking about with that person before?"

"No. I promised you I won't interfere or eavesdrop on your conversation."

Li Caiyi squinted her eyes skeptically. But Li Junjie hadn't asked her anything since they went out together. Perhaps he really was only here to keep her safe.

Nevertheless, it would still be a problem if he kept following her like this. She couldn't visit Ye Wang like this, even though she had to talk with Ye Huizhing. She needed to think of a way to shake him off somehow.

"Where are you going next?" Li Junjie asked her.

Li Caiyi thought about it for a moment before deciding she'd better call it quits for today. "My business is done, so let's go to the hospital after this."

He nodded and waited for her to walk away before he began following her. It was like a chick following its mother hen.

What a weird feeling to see him act like this. Li Caiyi could never get used to this.
