Chapter 100: Mysterious Boyfriend

  Jiang Yan was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that it was Luo Lin who sent her home earlier. She was probably seen by her parents, so she immediately blushed: "Dad! What are you talking about? ... The one just now is... he's just a normal friend of mine! There's no relationship between us like what you're thinking!"

  "Just ordinary friends?"

  The old couple looked at each other with a suspicious expression, repeating Jiang Yan's words, clearly disbelieving.

  "Is there anything else?" Jiang Yan's face flushed and she hastily changed the subject, "If not, I'll go take a bath."

  "......Then, Yanyan, are you really just ordinary friends? Would ordinary friends send you home?" The old couple still didn't let up.

  "Alright, alright, I've said it's just a normal friendship, not the kind of relationship you're imagining. Oh dear, it's so late, I won't say anymore, I have to hurry up and take a bath." Jiang Yan couldn't bear her parents' questioning, so she turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

  Watching Jiang Yan hastily walking away, the old couple looked at each other and although they didn't hear Jiang Yan admit it herself, seeing her unnatural expression just now, in their hearts, they already had an answer. From young to old, Jiang Yan has a flaw, which is also a merit - that is, she never lies to her good friends or relatives, her mouth is as clumsy as a foot.

  Taking advantage of Jiang Yan's bath time, the old couple sat in the living room and whispered to each other: "I'm telling you, Old Jiang, what kind of boyfriend is our daughter dating? She doesn't even want to talk about it?"

  Jiang's father shook his head helplessly: "Old lady, it's no use asking me, I wouldn't know either... But looking at how Yan Yan doesn't dare tell us, probably that young man's family conditions aren't good, or he doesn't have a good job, and is worried we'll oppose it."

  Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother also furrowed her brow: "What you said is right, otherwise our daughter wouldn't have bitten to death and kept it from us. After all, we've been worried sick about finding a partner for YanYan, and our daughter isn't unaware of that. I'm guessing, in the past when we introduced her to potential partners, she never agreed because she was already with this person."

  Father Jiang nodded in deep agreement: "We have to think of a way to get to the bottom of this man's character, otherwise our family's Yanyan is so naive and has never had any deep interactions with boys before, don't let her be cheated."

  Jiang's mother was also very worried, after all, her own daughter was dating someone, and she was anxious: "How can we figure out the other family's situation? We don't even know who this person is!"

  After a brief pause, Jiang Dad seemed to have thought of something and said, "Wait a minute, old lady." He got up and walked into Jiang Yan's room, took out her windbreaker, and fished out her phone from the pocket.

  "Good one, old Jiang! I thought you'd come up with some kind of plan! But instead, you come up with this ridiculous idea! You're always sneaking a peek at your daughter's private life!"

  "Are you not worried? Don't you want to know who that man is?"

  "Stop the nonsense and hurry up to take a look," she said, glancing in the direction of the bathroom. Hearing that the sound of water from the showerhead hadn't changed, she quietly and slowly approached Old Jiang.

  Lao Jiang directly opened Jiang Yan's mobile phone and checked the call log. Suddenly, he found a very suspicious name: Little Rascal.

  Little rascal? ? !

  The old couple, although they were advanced in years, were still very familiar with the ambiguous term used by young people to refer to each other. Without saying more, this little rascal was absolutely her own precious daughter Jiang Yan's boyfriend.

  Flipping through the call records, I found several of them were from this "little rascal"!

  It must be this guy!

  Mr. Jiang, having been a leader for so many years, handled things with swift efficiency. At this moment, he swiftly pulled out his own phone and saved the phone number, then switched his daughter's phone back to its original mode and put it in Jiang Yan's windbreaker pocket before quietly walking into the bedroom and putting it down.

  Sitting in the living room, the old couple stared at the mysterious "little rascal's" phone number: 137XXX88888.

  Good grief, it's all gone wrong! The last digit is 58888!

  Although they are people from the previous generation, and have not used mobile phones for many years, they also know that a string of consecutive numbers like this must be worth a lot of money. It seems that Yan's boyfriend doesn't seem to be someone who lacks money... Could it be... Is this man a married man?!

  This is not impossible!!

  If your own wife is someone else's mistress, then all doubts can be resolved!

  Thinking of this possibility, the old couple was like sitting on pins and needles. What to do? What to do? If it's really like that, won't their daughter's second half of her life be completely ruined?

  My daughter has always been simple-minded, if she encounters those cunning emotional scammers, she might get deeply trapped in it.

  But now they can't rush, the old couple can't directly question their daughter, right? That would only make their daughter have a rebellious psychology. The last time Yanyan ran away from home, the old couple still remembered it vividly. Although she came back to apologize the next day, afterwards they didn't dare be too strict with her again.

  After a long deliberation, Old Jiang finally made a decision: Tomorrow during the day, he would use his connections to find someone to investigate the phone number's account holder!

  Just then, Jiang Yan put on her bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair scattered all over, saw her parents discussing something in a mysterious way, and quickly sat up straight when they saw her come out. With some difference, she asked: "Dad and mom, what are you talking about? So mysterious?"

  "Oh, nothing, nothing."

  Lao Jiang suddenly had an idea and started talking nonsense: "Hmm, I was just discussing the news with your mom. It said that a young and beautiful successful woman fell in love with a married man, became his mistress, and ended up being beaten to death by his wife on the street. Alas, it's really tragic."

  Jiang's mother quickly followed up, hastily helping to speak: "Yes! This kind of woman who destroys other people's families is indeed not worth pitying, but it's also quite pitiful. In fact, falling in love with someone is not wrong, but if you fall in love with the wrong person, you must wake up in time, and it's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep has escaped!"

  Listening to her parents' suddenly enthusiastic words, Jiang Yan was taken aback and furrowed her brow, responding casually: "Actually, it's that man's fault, he has a family but still messes around."

  "Nonsense!" Old Jiang suddenly became agitated and retorted, "If that little girl had been more careful and self-respecting, would she have ended up in such a state?"

  "Oh no, Old Jiang, what are you doing?!" Jiang's mom suddenly became excited and hastily went up to push him away.

  Jiang Yan was startled by her father's sudden change in attitude, and her eyebrows furrowed together in surprise: "Out of the blue!" She said, turning around and walking into her own room, then slamming the door shut with a "bang".

  ...As he saw his daughter enter the room, Old Jiang fell silent for a moment, his face growing even more somber.

  "Old Jiang, why were you so agitated just now? Don't we still don't know what the situation is?" his mother complained beside him.

  Lao Jiang paused for a moment, his expression cold and stern: "I must investigate the owner of this phone number tomorrow! If it's really as I suspect, I'll teach him a good lesson!!"

  Although Old Jiang is an old official nearing retirement, he still has some tricks up his sleeve. If that man doesn't have any solid backing, Old Jiang won't hesitate to use every trick in the book and go through all possible channels to drive that man out of Zhengzhou!

  …………

  "Achoo!!"

  Lorin, who had just walked out of the bathroom, suddenly let out a sneeze and scratched his head in surprise: "Strange, why did I sneeze? Could it be that I've caught a cold?... Logically speaking, my physique is already very strong now, this is really strange..."

  It's unlikely that Luoluo would have thought that he, a pure-hearted young man, would be mistaken by Yan's parents as a married and lecherous old uncle who seduces and abducts innocent girls.

  He took off his bathrobe and Lorraine slipped under the covers, sleeping soundly until dawn.

  The next day, Lorraine still got up early as usual and went to the park for a morning exercise. After eating some simple food, she ran to the new internet cafe to check on the renovation progress and called Jiang Yan along the way. On the other end, Sister Yan said it would be ready soon, but if it was going to be handed over to the higher-ups, they still needed an opportunity.

  Lorraine asked what was the catalyst, and Jiang Yan replied with a hint of profundity: "A catalyst that forces the superior to take action."

  Lorraine understood the implication, which means that a catalyst is needed, otherwise the heat won't be enough to take it down in one go. You have to know that this guy Bai Wan is a tough nut, if you can't take him down with one blow, even if he's barely hanging on, he'll still be able to drag many people down with him.

  But this opportunity... how should I look for it?

  In his heart, Luolin had already arrived at the old store of Brother Internet Cafe. As soon as he entered, Lianzi was leading the charge, and the four brothers were enthusiastically competing in Counter-Strike.

  Lorraine smiled and waved, asking if there was anything going on today.

  The four brothers replied that everything was normal.

  After a fierce game, Lin Jiadong suddenly asked: "Lin Ge, are you free this afternoon? Let's go skiing at the ski resort! Li Nan and Cheng Gong those two kids have invited many pretty girls!"

  Luo Lin waved his hand and smiled: "No, I have something to do today. I made an appointment with an old brother to go to Haijin Hotel for dinner and drinks in the afternoon. In the evening, I'll accompany him to Huangjia Hot Spring to indulge in some decadence. Maybe next time I'll come."

  The Royal Spa is a casual bathing place, although it can't be compared to the Caesar Palace in terms of grade, but its reputation is good. Of course, that kind of service is essential in the Royal Spa.

  In fact, the reason why Lorraine wants to take Qian Baiwan out of the Caesar Palace is that she wants to thoroughly distract him from checking the accounts of today's underground casino and other projects. As for whether Qian Baiwan will leave halfway... it depends on how much effort Lorraine puts in when drinking with him today.

  Upon hearing Lorraine's words, Lin Jiatong and Liangzi both showed disappointed expressions: "Ah, those few girls were clamoring to see you, Brother Lin. Looks like they'll be disappointed."

  Lorraine smiled and didn't say a word, then casually chatted for a few sentences before leaving.

  After Daluo left, a group of non-mainstream little brothers from the dance team next door flickered their eyes slightly, then got off the computer and hastily left the internet cafe, found a phone booth and dialed a number.

  Soon, on the other end of the line, a soft voice said: "Hey, Tiger! I just got word that Lao Lin has some new activity today. He's going to the Haijin Hotel with one of his old buddies for dinner and drinks, and tonight they're heading to the Royal Hot Springs to indulge in some debauchery. What do you say? Should we make our move? Maybe we can ambush him when he's drunk and stumbling out of the restaurant?"
