Chapter 657: Extract information.

Xinyue sighed for the hundredth time now.         

Yun Su noticed his superior in distress and asked, “Is there some problem, Sir?”     

The last few days of the mission were quite hectic.     

“Problem? Until I figure out what a memorable confession entails, the problem is never gonna end. Women are so complicated.”     

“…”     

Sir’s love journey is so difficult.     

He cleared his throat. “Sir. We had staked out that night when Tian Yan was receiving the two ships at the port. That’s evidence that he is involved in something shady. Then why aren’t we catching him?”     

Xinyue raised his brow. “He is just a cog in the machine. He doesn’t handle whatever racket is going on. He is not at the top of it. If we catch him, then then the gang will become suspicious and cover up all its tracks. I want to crack down on this whole scam or racket going on all up to the end. Maybe there are members of his family also involved. I want to track every one of them and what they do.”     

He straightened up. “Yes, sir. I will create a dossier for it.”     

“Cool.”     

Xinyue then went back to his confession research but didn’t get any concrete ideas.     

“If a confession is this difficult, then I cannot imagine how difficult the marriage proposal will be in the future,” he grimaced.

“Zhao Ruiling,” Tian Guo waved at her as he smiled.     

Ruiling gave back a fake smile. “Hey.”     

This was their third meeting today, and Ruiling was quite sure he would cough something up about his father’s corruption. She could totally see how he was trying to impress her and was planning to have a relationship with her. But she also knew that it was just to serve his purpose of having a connection to the Zhao family. He didn’t like her but the power her family held.     

But who said I cannot use that to my advantage?     

You are trying to use me, and I am using your so-called feelings for me. Tit for tat~     

“What’s up?”     

Tian Guo sighed. “Just all the work is tiring. Plus, the elections are coming soon so my father is really busy.”     

“I see. Now that the elections are near, the politicians are extra careful, especially…the corrupt ones. Cannot let anybody air their dirty laundry in the public,” she smiled.     

He stiffened.     

Ruiling shrugged. “My cousin was talking about it. But honestly, what’s the big deal? It’s just some extra money here and there. Why cause so much ruckus?” She showed a bored expression.     

Tian Guo slightly was taken aback. “You think like that?”     

She chuckled. “What? Are you really goody two shoes? Wow, you completely changed your impression. Now, I feel so dishonest.”     

“What do you mean?”         

Ruiling parted her lips but then refrained from speaking. “I don’t think I should talk about it.”     

“No, you can tell me,” Tian Guo assured her. “You can trust me. We are friends now right? Your secret will be safe with me.”     

Tsk, such bad acting.     

“Well…”     

Tian Guo tried to touch her hand, but she pulled it back at the pretext of holding her coffee mug. He slightly stiffened but quickly came out of it. “There is nothing to be afraid of,” he smiled, “We are already so comfortable around each other.”     

That’s because I am tolerating your presence, dumbo, she inwardly rolled her eyes.     

Ruiling sighed. “You are right. It’s a secret I am keeping from my family but I know I can trust you. Something tells me I can.”     

He brightened. “Of course!”     

Ruiling slightly leaned and whispered, “Well the secret is that I am kinda stealing money from Zhao Industries. Just a little bit.”     

He widened his eyes.     

“Well that’s also my money right? But why does cousin Wei and Bro Li get to handle it? Ever since my engagement broke off, my family has been shutting me off. I got angry. I am also a member of the Zhao family. They cannot shut me out like that. So I am just securing my future with some extra cash. But you don’t seem to be thrilled…” she looked disappointed. “Guess a liar will always be a liar.”     

“No! You are doing nothing wrong, Ruiling,” he seriously said, “That’s also your money and you have every right over it. Your family earns billions anyway. Taking a little bit is not bad.”     

“See! You understand me! What good does it give to be honest? That’s a waste of time!” She said in disdain.     

Tian Guo’s body language became more comfortable now and he seemed to be at ease. “I know. I think we met for a reason.”     

“You mean?”     

“Well I am sure you will understand me too. My father…well, he is really not so clean.”     

Ruiling cocked her brow.     

Got you.     

“What? He has some shady deals under the table?” She shrugged. “So like me. What does it matter? As long as you know how to hide well.”     

Now, he felt even more relaxed seeing Ruiling’s support. “It’s not so easy I am afraid. There are suspicions about Dad’s records and if he gets caught, his career and our family is over. I am also making sure there are no loose ends.”     

“Interesting. You help your father. That’s filial of you,” she nodded in appreciation. “But then how will you do it? You cannot screw up the elections.”     

“Well…” he whispered as if it was a secret between two friends, “we have a main warehouse here where we have kept all the ‘goods’ of our deals. We are afraid that somebody might investigate and crack down on the warehouse so for safety, we will be moving all the stuff to X city until the elections are over.”     

X city…     

She smiled. “That sounds like a cool plan. But you better hide it in a good place like…”     

He waved his hand in dismissal. “Not to worry about it. There is a big university campus in X city and it’s from one of our shell corporations. It’s untraceable,” he smiled, “Nobody will doubt that all the shady stuff will be at a college campus~”         

Ruiling beamed. “That’s evil but cool. So…when will you be moving the stuff to the campus?”     

“Tomorrow night.”
