You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen reluctantly swiped to answer the call.

The call was answered as soon as it connected, before he could even speak.

Su Qingge's voice, cool yet tinged with a hint of hostility and a touch of sourness, pierced right through the receiver.

"Consultant Lin, did you sleep well last night at President Ye's estate?"

Even through the phone, Lin Chen could picture the furious expression on Su Qingge's icy face.

Lin Chen touched his nose and gave a dry laugh.

"It's alright, the bed is quite soft."

On the other end of the phone, a clear "crunching" sound of teeth grinding came through.

There was a two-second silence.

Su Qingge's voice grew increasingly cold, devoid of any emotion.

"Return to the team immediately!"

"A murder has occurred."

After saying that, before Lin Chen could ask any more questions, the phone was abruptly and decisively hung up with a "snap".

Lin Chen listened to the busy tone on the receiver and gave a helpless bitter smile.

This little vinegar jar has been turned upside down way too thoroughly.

"Is...is there something wrong at the police station?"

Seeing the expression on his face, Ye Qingcheng, though heartbroken, suppressed her girlish emotions and regained some of the rationality of a business queen.

She stepped forward, extended her slender hand, and gently straightened Lin Chen's slightly disheveled collar.

"Go."

Her voice returned to its usual cool and aloof tone, but her phoenix eyes, fixed on Lin Chen, held an undeniable domineering air.

"Remember, you are now a member of the Ye family."

"If anyone dares to give you a hard time, or makes you suffer any injustice..."

She paused, then parted her red lips slightly and uttered a sentence that startled Lin Chen.

"Just bury him in money!"

Hearing this domineering declaration, Lin Chen felt a strange sense of satisfaction rising within him.

Is this... what it feels like to be kept by a rich woman?

It seems... not bad at all.

He smiled and pinched Ye Qingcheng's cheek before turning and striding away.

Ten minutes later.

Standing in the underground parking garage of the Ye family manor, which was comparable to a top-notch auto show, Lin Chen finally fixed his gaze on a steel beast that was poised to pounce.

A globally limited edition Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

With a roar that could tear the air apart, a black lightning bolt ripped through the tranquility of the manor and roared away!

……

At the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Division of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.

"squeak--!!!"

A screeching sound of tires screeching suddenly rang out!

A jet-black supercar, with a futuristic, alien-ship-like design, stopped precisely between several police Santanas with an incredibly skillful drift.

The sleek body lines, the exaggerated aerodynamic kit, and the incomparably prestigious "EB" logo on the front all demonstrate its terrifying price tag of over 30 million!

In an instant, all the police officers in the yard were drawn to this unexpected visitor.

"Holy crap! Bugatti Veyron? Super Sport?"

A young police officer who knew a lot about cars dropped his cigarette on the ground.

"The paddle shifters on this car alone could buy a BMW!"

"Quickly find out which super-rich person has come to our area!"

Under the gaze of countless shocked, envious, and sour-sour eyes.

The scissor doors slowly rose.

A long, slender leg stepped out.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen, dressed casually, stepped out of the car with an air of nonchalance.

He casually closed the car door, took off his Ray-Ban sunglasses, and grinned at his stunned colleagues.

The entire room fell silent.

Li Mingyu, who was standing on the steps of the office building and about to go in for a meeting, was completely petrified when he saw this scene.

He stared intently at the Bugatti Veyron, then glanced at Lin Chen as he got out of the car.

That face, already distorted by jealousy, was now even more disfigured, with features shifted and completely unrecognizable!

Why should I?!

What the hell gives them the right?!

He thought of his domestically produced car worth 200,000 yuan, and the 6,000 yuan monthly car loan was suffocating him.

The man surnamed Lin in front of me drives a sports car that could buy the entire neighborhood where he lives to work!

The price of this car is equivalent to Li Mingyu's salary for a hundred years without eating or drinking!

The enormous disparity and the unvented jealousy gnawed at his heart like venomous snakes, driving him almost mad!

Lin Chen completely ignored the complicated gazes of the crowd, and didn't even glance at Li Mingyu, who was on the verge of spontaneous combustion from anger on the steps, before walking straight towards the conference room.

The atmosphere inside the meeting room was heavy.

Director Lu Zhenhua, former team leader Zhang Zheng, and core members of the Major Crimes Unit were all present.

Su Qingge sat in the main seat, her face as cold as ice. When she saw Lin Chen enter, she merely glanced at him coldly before looking away.

On the white screen of the projector, a gruesome photo of a car accident scene was being displayed.

A black Mercedes-Benz sedan, now a pile of scrap metal, lay silently below the cliff, black smoke billowing from its body.

When Lu Zhenhua saw Lin Chen enter, he nodded to him and began to explain the case in a deep voice.

"The deceased was Wang Jian."

"The deputy director of the security department of the Yip Group is mainly responsible for the security handover work of this 'Heart of the Ocean' exhibition."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Mingyu eagerly interrupted, desperately needing a chance to prove himself and wash away the humiliation of the previous night!

"Chief! Colleagues!"

He pointed at the big screen, his voice booming, looking confident and assured.

"The traffic police's on-site investigation report is out, and it's very clear!"

"No collision marks were found on any second vehicle at the scene, and the braking system was intact."

"Most importantly, the forensic examiner detected an alcohol content as high as 200mg/100ml in the blood of the deceased, Wang Jian!"

"This is a classic case of drunk driving, resulting in loss of control and a plunge off a cliff!"

Li Mingyu waved his hand and made a decisive conclusion.

"Therefore, I personally believe this was just a regular traffic accident!"

"We handle cases based on evidence, not some mysterious intuition. I suggest closing the case immediately. There's no need to confuse this with yesterday's case and create unnecessary complications!"

Upon hearing this, the veteran team leader Zhang Zheng frowned slightly.

He felt that things were too coincidental. Wang Jian's identity was too sensitive, and he died at this critical juncture. But the evidence that Li Mingyu presented was indeed impeccable.

Just as the meeting room fell into a brief silence.

From the corner, a lazy, slightly mocking voice rang out.

"Deputy Captain Li."

Lin Chen twirled the pen in his hand, not even raising his head, but a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"The speed at which you closed this case is faster than your 100-meter sprint speed."
