Chapter 63 - Masterzhan said with a gesture, leading Lin Yi up to the second floor

The study was at the very end of the hallway- ned to be away from outward disturbances Yet Lin Yi didn’t understand why they had to talk in the study- there wasn’t even a butler in a villa this big, as the difference having the discussion in any other roo with life and splendor, but what remained was a cold emptiness Lin Yi observant as always as he made his way up the stairs- the villa was kept tidy and clean, but there were traces of wear on the staircase rails: the villa had been occupied for long periods of tizhan wouldn’t have caused that wear, he was barely back here once a week

Lin Yi, naturally, left Chu Pengzhan’s business alone- it didn’t involve him

It was that mentality that resulted in Lin Yi’s composure, unaffected by any unexpectancy

The wear on the leather chair in the study proved Lin Yi’s earlier point, as well The chairman had sat in the chair very often once

“Yi, sit anywhere” Pengzhan said as he leaned back in the leather chair behind the desk “There’s a fridge at the back with drinks inside- get whatever you’d like Don’t worry about thee the his head “Uncle Chu, why don’t we get to business?”

“Sure, we can start” Pengzhan nodded in agreement

“Well, I’m sure you know this already, but the robbers from yesterday robbed the bank as a cover- their objective was Miss Chu “ Lin Yi started “I don’t knohy they were after her, or why they went through such lengths of planning… It was probably easier to have her kidnapped at the school gates, or in front of the villa…”

“Haha, I see the point you’re getting at You’re reated, aren’t you?” Pengzhan smiled “What you say is true It was an unnecessarily elaborate plan for a siic behind that”

“What logic?” Lin Yi hadn’t expected Chu Pengzhan to have thought out things this far ahead- perhaps he’d been over-worrying

“It’s as you said” Pengzhan retracted his s the bank was a cover, but everyone else in the world didn’t see it that way- as far as they were concerned, Mengyao was a rando”

“The two crimes were fundamentally different, and it served to effectively ave the perpetratorsI can’t understand, however… How did they know Mengyao would be at the bank, at that tiht- everyone needs to get a bank card every year for the school, and it’s usually closing time for the banks by the time school ends There’s only one twenty four hour bank nearby, and it’s only natural to assume that Miss Chu would visit that particular one” Lin Yi expressed his thinking on the zhan’s explanation never crossed his mind before- he didn’t knohat these people wanted, or who they were, after all, though it did seeet at you, Uncle Chu?”
