The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 621 - 583 Feeling Like a Good Person

At five in the morning, the night was fading.

A night had passed, and the recognition banquet that disturbed for several months had finally ended.

The people who should be arrested at the hotel were arrested, and those who should be interrogated were taken away.

The hotel site was slowly being cleared.

The guests who stayed almost all checked out overnight, escorted by the Chu Family Hotel.

The people Gu Linhai had in Jin City were handled by Wan Ying and his team.

Most of them were caught, only a few stragglers were left and still being searched for.

All media had been spoken to by the police. Online posts all need to be vetted before publishing.

The noisy night gradually calmed down.

For many people, it was just a night that passed, a sleep. When they opened their eyes, however, the situation in Jin City had undergone enormous changes.

The Qian’an Group held a very important position in Jin City’s economic development.

With Gu Linhai arrested, the Qian’an Group would fall with him.

Moreover, when Yunzhong Building and Qian’an Group worked together, it was to prevent Gu Linhai from absolving himself and pushing everything onto Gu Yao.

If that were the case, Gu Linhai wouldn’t suffer any losses, likewise, the Qian’an Group would remain unscathed.

Yunzhong Building there would then act on the cooperation.

The Qian’an Group couldn’t escape no matter what.

But now it seemed, things were somewhat simpler than they had imagined.

Gu Linhai didn’t intend to protect himself, he even wanted to sacrifice himself to protect Gu Yao.

After a busy night, everyone was somewhat tired.

With things mostly handled, a few people had a simple meeting in the lounge on the second floor of the hotel’s banquet hall.

"All those who attended the recognition banquet have been invited to the police station," Lin Huai Shu said, "They’ll have to speak one by one, and we’ll have to take a trip too."

Everyone nodded.

"If there’s no evidence, they’ll have to let them go after talking," Chu Zhengran said.

Qiao Yuxian sat on the sofa, computer on her lap, and said, "Nothing was found on Quan Rong’s side. Last night, apart from a message from Qiao Shuning, there was only a data usage reminder on his phone."

"What are you doing?" Tang He craned his neck to look at her computer.

Qiao Yuxian closed the laptop, "Quan Rong is indeed as Qiao Shuning said. He’s a local, completed his undergrad to PhD in Jin City University, then stayed on as a teacher. His parents died early, and he’s been living alone all these years, with a small social circle, mostly schoolteachers, and then there’s Gu Linhai. Nothing else, even besides business trips from school, he hardly ever leaves Jin City."

"Why suspect him?" Lin Huai Shu, having not met Quan Rong, naturally didn’t know why they suspected him.

With his question, Qiao Yuxian fell silent for a moment.

Why suspect him.

It seemed it was just based on her instincts.

Quan Rong exuded scholarly vibes, gentle, courteous. The way he spoke, treated people, and the evaluation from those around him, he could almost be described as a flawless man.

Even his appearance had no faults to pick out.

But Qiao Yuxian just felt uncomfortable when he looked at her.

This discomfort was indescribable.

But why suspect him, she couldn’t quite explain.

After all, nothing could be found through investigations.

Lin Huai Shu looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian and he held each other’s gaze for a moment before she said, "Just a feeling."

Lin Huai Shu slowly opened his mouth, understanding those three words, "Ah, like that."

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian nodded.

"Is it because of him and Qiao Shuning..." Lu Muyao said, "So you don’t like Quan Rong?"

Qiao Yuxian thought seriously for a moment, "No. It’s not that feeling. My feeling is that there’s something wrong with Quan Rong, and it has nothing to do with Qiao Shuning."

"Qiao Shuning... and Quan Rong?" Qin Xia was initially a bit sleepy, but hearing this woke her up quite a bit.

Qiao Yuxian nodded.

Qin Xia was surprised, "Underestimated her, wilder than me. I’m more about the quantity, while she’s all about someone’s age depth."

Chu Zhengran raised his hand to press down on her head.

Qin Xia brushed off her hand, "Stranger, don’t touch me."

"Alright. I’m a stranger again." Chu Zhengran pressed down on her head again.

Qin Xia turned her head to look at him.

Chu Zhengran gazed softly at her, giving her a slight smile.

But this gentle smile quickly silenced Qin Xia, calming her down.

Chu Zhengran shifted his gaze from her face and said, "I also feel something’s off with Quan Rong."

Lin Huai Shu and Gu Yanjing looked at Chu Zhengran.

Chu Zhengran looked at Lu Muyao, "What do you think?"

"I don’t like him. He rubs me the wrong way," Lu Muyao said with a calm face.

"Apart from your sister, who do you find pleasing?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I..." Lu Muyao looked at her, at a loss for words.

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow.

Lu Mengyi noticed Lu Muyao looking at Qiao Yuxian, causing her eyes to flicker slightly.

After a while, Lu Muyao said again, "If there’s really something off with Quan Rong, could he have another identity? Just like Gu Yao and Yan Zhiyao are separate identities. We’re investigating Quan Rong, investigating his communication, but nothing can be found."

"It’s possible," Qiao Yuxian nodded.

"But what is the other identity?" Lin Huai Shu asked, "We can’t know, so still we can’t find anything."

Qiao Yuxian nodded again.

"So just now you were using the computer to check on Quan Rong, right?" Tang He craned his neck beyond Gu Yanjing to look at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian replied calmly, "No."

"I don’t believe it," Tang He said.

"I didn’t." Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said.

"I don’t believe it," Tang He repeated.

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

Gu Yanjing raised his hand to push back Tang He’s head, "Sit down."

Tang He sat down, then tilted his head to stare at Qiao Yuxian for a while.

Qiao Yuxian huffed at him and ignored him, wary of him.

Seeing her a bit drowsy, Gu Yanjing touched her face and said, "Pay attention to Quan Rong’s side, and also keep an eye on other professors and deans of Jin City University. But don’t just focus on Jin City University. Last time when we came to Jin City chasing Gu Yao, although they swapped cars near Jin City University, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s someone from Jin City University."

Chu Zhengran nodded, "Perhaps Jin City University is just a place to mislead us."

"But it’s certain, today at the banquet hall, there were indeed people helping Gu Yao and them," Lin Huai Shu said, "No matter who it is, we need to keep a close eye on this group of people."

Gu Yanjing quickly sorted everything out and then looked at Lu Mengyi.

Receiving his gaze, Lu Mengyi paused and said, "I personally went up to deal with the sniper upstairs. He was a man, over 1.85 meters tall. He was covered tightly. We fought, and he was very skilled. Moreover, someone helped him. I didn’t catch them and let them escape."

Listening to her words, Qin Xia slowly lowered her gaze, tugging at Chu Zhengran’s clothes repeatedly.

Chu Zhengran looked down at her, sensing her unease.

"There seem to be quite a few skilled people in Jin City," Lin Huai Shu said, "We hadn’t noticed before."

Lu Mengyi’s martial skills were already excellent, few could beat her, yet someone managed to escape from her hands.

"Gu Linhai has developed in Jin City for so long, he’s like a pot of nourishment, allowing some people to take root here," Gu Yanjing said, "They collaborate with each other. Gu Linhai covers for them, allowing them to come to the country. They help Gu Linhai seize the Gu Family..."
