Dou Di Zhu

Chapter 519 A Turbulent Autumn

The man in the black suit understood.

Jin Xuanyu was referring to who had sent the foreman to the police station today.

He immediately replied.

"It was a brother and sister named Zhu Li and Zhu Hong."

"A few years ago, the foreman tried to force himself on Zhu Li's wife, and when he feared exposure, he killed her."

"Over the years, he also drove Zhu Hong and Zhu Li out of the construction site, leaving them with no work."

Jin Xuanyu raised an eyebrow, looking unconvinced.

"Is that all?"

The man in the black suit nodded. "There's no sign of anyone else behind this. After being kicked out of the site, the siblings resorted to petty theft and didn't seem capable of anything more."

Listening to his subordinate's report, Jin Xuanyu snorted. He was even more displeased!

"This good-for-nothing can't even handle two people without any background."

"I was blind to think they were useful before!"

Jin Xuanyu could criticize himself. But as a subordinate, the man in the black suit dared not follow suit. He buried his head low, minimizing his presence.

After a while, Jin Xuanyu said with half-closed eyes, "Make a detour, we're going to Jiangnan City."

"I have a feeling this matter isn't as simple as it seems!"

...

Not long after Zhou Yu returned home, Lin Weidong showed up.

He said with a grimace, "Doctor Zhou, about what you promised me, can't it wait any longer?"

Lin Weidong had previously approached Zhou Yu, stating that the Dragon Group's mission to eliminate families had failed and hoping Zhou Yu could find a way to identify the mole within the Dragon Group. However, there had been no news from Zhou Yu for a long time. Lin Weidong couldn't wait any longer and came to inquire in person.

Zhou Yu paused upon hearing this, then smiled, "Elder Lin, it's only been an afternoon. How could I possibly have a solution so quickly?"

Lin Weidong paid no mind to this. He plopped down on the sofa and said to Zhou Yu, "As long as Doctor Zhou hasn't figured out a solution, I'm not leaving this spot!"

Zhou Yu looked exasperated. Lately, there had been too many things happening. First, the strange physical sensations. Then, the siblings Zhu Hong and Zhu Li. And now, finding the Dragon Group mole. Zhou Yu didn't know when he had become so important! Everyone seemed to be looking up to him, expecting him to solve all their problems.

"Elder Lin, solutions don't just appear out of thin air. You need to give me some time to think."

"Besides, I have other matters to attend to. If you stay here, you'll likely be bored."

Zhou Yu spoke the truth. In Zhou Yu's estimation, the foreman wouldn't be rescued for more than two days. He couldn't let his guard down during this time!

Lin Weidong's ears perked up at this. "What has Doctor Zhou been so busy with lately?" If he remembered correctly, the Zhu family's crisis had already been resolved. Even Zhu Ling'er had been able to put aside matters in Jiangnan City and come over. Lin Weidong couldn't fathom what else Zhou Yu could be busy with!

Zhou Yu, feeling helpless, recounted the encounter with Zhu Li and Zhu Hong that day. Upon hearing that the foreman had not only killed Zhu Li's wife but also caused such suffering to the siblings, Lin Weidong became furious.

"Such a scumbag deserves to be punished!" Lin Weidong exclaimed righteously.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. "Indeed. We don't know how many lives he's taken. Dying a thousand times wouldn't be enough to atone for his sins."

"However, now is not the time to deal with him. A mere foreman acting so arrogantly must have powerful backing. I heard the Jin family is supporting him."

"I want to see which member of the Jin family is backing him!"

Hearing this, Lin Weidong also became interested. The Jin family had a complex structure, far more so than the Su family. There were all sorts of cousins, both paternal and maternal, gathered together. After all, the Jin family was one of the top families in Yunhai City. Their rise, aside from external help, was also due to these relatives and clansmen who helped manage their businesses.

Lin Weidong had interacted with the head of the Jin family and felt that the patriarch was not the type of person to engage in such affairs. Therefore, the remaining possibilities lay within the collateral branches.

"Doctor Zhou, who do you suspect it might be?" Lin Weidong asked, stroking his chin.

Zhou Yu shook his head. It wasn't that he couldn't figure it out, but he was too lazy to investigate. After all, if someone came to rescue the foreman in a couple of days, wouldn't the truth be revealed? Why waste brain cells now!

Lin Weidong, seeing Zhou Yu's passive attitude, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction. "Doctor Zhou, you can't be so casual about this. If we don't resolve this matter, when will Zhu Li and his sister get their justice?"

"Without addressing their situation, how can you free up time to consider the Dragon Group's issues?" Ultimately, Lin Weidong still wanted Zhou Yu to catch the Dragon Group mole as soon as possible!

Zhou Yu, feeling a headache from his persistent nagging, finally nodded. "I understand, don't worry."

"After I help the Zhu siblings get justice, I'll start working on the Dragon Group matter!"

Satisfied, Lin Weidong nodded. He then asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"If there is, don't hesitate to tell me. What kind of relationship do we have?"

"My people are your people!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Weidong. He said directly, "There is indeed something that requires Elder Lin's assistance."

"After we capture the person behind him, I'll need Elder Lin to bring them into the Dragon Group for interrogation to see if there are any bigger fish!" Currently, Zhou Yu suspected that the person behind the foreman was indeed a member of the Jin family. But it was likely someone without much power. Otherwise, if they had influence, they would make money through legitimate means instead of risking their neck. Since it was an unimportant member of the Jin family, they likely wouldn't have the capability to shield the foreman and allow him to commit so many murders and remain at large. There was probably a bigger player involved!

"No problem, consider it done!" Lin Weidong said, patting his chest and taking on the responsibility.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly and then stood up. "It's almost time for dinner. Elder Lin, are you planning to join us?"

Lin Weidong had been waiting for this invitation. The Dragon Group issue remained unresolved, and he couldn't enjoy his meals. He wished he could move into Zhou Yu's place to constantly monitor Zhou Yu's progress. Having dinner at Zhou Yu's home was even better!

"Yu Yan, add another pair of chopsticks." Zhou Yu called out to Su Yu Yan in the kitchen.

Su Yu Yan responded. Busy in the kitchen, she then brought out the dishes. She wiped her apron and smiled at Lin Weidong. "It's just simple fare, Elder Lin. Please don't mind."

Lin Weidong had visited and eaten here before. How could he not know Su Yu Yan's culinary skills? Even plain bok choy would be made incredibly delicious by Su Yu Yan! Such wonderful food; he couldn't be happier to eat it, let alone dislike it!
