Van bowed to me again, her speed so fast that her cleavage was just a glimpse, then she flipped out the window, jumped off the eave, mounted the motorcycle, and buzzed away.
A girl riding a motorcycle while wrapped in a towel, this world is truly extraordinary.
No matter how ordinary people pretend, they are still ordinary. Only the lunatics would stand out even when bathing.
The scent of the shower gel on Van's body still lingered in my room, instantly adding some color to my usually smelly bachelor pad.
In this comfortable working environment, I opened the documents that Van had sent me.
- A careful investigation of Bai Yaxin, an important cadre in the Wan Lanshan family.
When I saw the first page of the documents, I couldn't help but sigh. The reason was the glaring two words - Mongolia.
In such a small circle, with such a special identity, coupled with the coincidence of their surnames, it would be a miracle-level low probability event if Bai Yaxin and Bai Xuyu were not father and daughter.
This made me ponder whether Bai Xuyu appearing by my side was just a coincidence or intentional.
Ah, this plot development is really sinister, making things that were originally simple more complicated.
I continued to browse the documents while simultaneously thinking about how to handle any future scenes where Bai Xuyu would be in conflict, so as not to lose her goodwill. After all, I really liked this straightforward and lively girl.
Then, as expected, the least desirable situation happened. Bai Xuyu was Bai Yaxin's daughter, and the information in the documents matched what I knew in real life - cheerful, lively, and skilled in various martial arts.
There were only scattered information about Bai Xuyu, with the focus of the investigation still on Bai Yaxin.
At the age of 26, Bai Yaxin was engaged in import and export trade in Kyoto. In a competition with the Wan Lanshan conglomerate, the ambitious Bai Yaxin risked most of his assets in order to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for huge profits. Dreams may be beautiful, but the result was losing everything.
After losing all his family wealth, Bai Yaxin pondered deeply and chose to enter the Wan Lanshan conglomerate. He dedicated himself to learning, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. Bai Yaxin had reached a high-ranking position in the Wan Lanshan conglomerate, second only to Wan Lanshan Haiming in the family's hierarchy.
Ambitious Bai Yaxin, after obtaining this position, began to think about higher positions. But the astute Wan Lanshan Haiming left him no opportunities, forcing him to obediently serve the Wan Lanshan family.
So, Bai Yaxin shifted his focus beyond the Wan Lanshan family, using the family's name to seek unjust wealth in areas that Wan Lanshan Haiming overlooked - this last part was only a speculation without evidence from Van.
If it were true that Bai Yaxin could do such things under the nose of Wan Lanshan Haiming, it would truly be remarkable. After all, according to the words of the old man on the other side, Wan Lanshan Haiming was a scheming hero who had murdered his own brother to seize the position of family head. It would be extremely difficult to hide anything from him.
On the other hand, if Wan Lanshan Haiming didn't notice anything, but Souren Manranyama and Van, these two little girls, did, it just didn't make sense.
Did Bai Yaxin become careless? Or was there another hidden meaning?
Sigh, my suspicions are really a disease.
In situations like these, I usually use a consistent treatment method called "practice makes perfect".
Admittedly, it's a rather foolish method, but when the ratio of gains to losses is acceptable and there are no smarter options available, it's still better than doing nothing.
In that case, let's start with collecting Bai Yaxin's daily behavioral patterns. As long as he's really up to something, there will inevitably be unnatural elements. With a point of entry, the direction will become clearer.
The plan is already set, but there are too many inconveniences in collecting this private information for me. It would be best to ask Van for a favor over a phone call tomorrow morning.
Hmm, very well, today's tasks will be completed today and I'll just wait for tomorrow.
I rolled onto my round bed, ready to fall asleep.
But then I heard two loud bangs outside the window.
Can't be, this late at night, could there be another unexpected visitor?
