Chapter 281 Afternoon Break
"Zhou Chengjing said that person has no identity and is an unregistered person whose registration has been cancelled." Bai Li shared the information she got from Zhou Chengjing with Jing Ye.
Although she has many amazing quotations, she is still not as politically as Jingye.
Bai Li always felt uneasy dealing with people like Zhou Chengjing.
After discussing and planning with Jingye, Baili felt more at ease.
Bai Li had considered asking Wu Hai directly about Zhou Chengjing.
After all, Wuhai should be acquainted with Zhou Chengjing.
But since his last global trip, Wu Hai has been busy with the affairs of the Wu family.
Today, the entire Wu family, including his grandfather's business—Global Navigation Group, his own business—Haiyu Group, and many of the Wu family's affiliated businesses, are under Wu Hai's control.
The two-week round-the-world trip with Bai Li, which involved a lot of fun, still left a pile of tasks for Wu family head, who had several important responsibilities.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li was touched and then teased him quite a bit.
Even though they couldn't be away for that long, they insisted on "putting on a brave face."
Considering her extremely busy friend, Bai Li still didn't tell him about her relationship with Zhou Chengjing.
Fortunately, Zhou Chengjing is not involved in "going into the water".
Bai Li's guess was correct.
Given his family background and status, he wouldn't stoop to antagonizing such a lowly, sewer-like creature.
He did not choose to deal with the "underground" organization in the case of Luo, simply to avoid any unforeseen complications.
These rats, lurking in the dark ravines, are masters of hiding and escaping.
Zhou Chengjing was too busy outwitting his political enemies to deal with them.
Now that the case is closed, Zhou Chengjing only became interested after hearing from Bai Li that the person who "went down" had been caught, and took the person away from Bai Li.
Since they were officials, after taking him away, they were able to find information that couldn't be obtained through questioning alone.
Bai Li bit her chopsticks, pondering:
—Turns out he was an unregistered resident.
No wonder Ah Hu and his men have been holding him for so long, yet no one else has appeared on the missing persons list.
Are all members of the underground organization undocumented?
Although Bai Li was quite curious, she restrained her urge to explore.
"Going into the water" is a hot potato.
Now that this hot potato has finally been thrown away, Bai Li is much more at ease.
All you have to do now is watch how Zhou Chengjing "performs" and follow along.
Jingye's thoughts were the same as Baili's.
It's best to leave this dirty and tiring work to others, so as not to dirty the young lady's hands.
The two ate slowly while discussing, and the topic somehow shifted from "offal" to "Luo family".
The last time Bai Li saw Luo Nan was at his mother's funeral.
Recently, Mr. Luo has been busy dealing with his estate, carrying out "reconstruction," and doing some "post-war restoration" work.
Luo Nan did not go back to school, but instead studied and helped his father. A while ago, I heard him say on the phone that he was extremely busy.
Bai Li put down her chopsticks, ending her lunch: "Luo Nan said he's only recently had a little free time and is planning to visit you sometime."
Jingye lowered her eyes and smiled kindly, "Sure, you're welcome anytime. Just let me know before you come so I can make arrangements."
She then glanced at the leftover food on the table, her gaze falling on Bai Li's already set-down chopsticks: "Miss, why have you only eaten so little?"
……
The high-rise building was unusually quiet; the usual summer chirping of cicadas was nowhere to be heard.
The central air conditioning system exhaled white mist, which condensed into water droplets on the cool cup wall.
Bai Li, holding a small spoon, happily held the small ice cream that Jing Ye had prepared for her after dinner.
"Miss, if there's this much food left over next time, we'll have to cancel the dessert," Jingye said gently.
Bai Li, who had just successfully cheated, shuddered, unsure whether it was from the cold ice cream or the chilling glint in Jing Ye's smile.
Just as Shirai was about to surrender, there was a knock on the door of the Japanese-style room.
"Sorry to bother you."
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
