Chapter 690: Chapter 690: You want me to let Lan Yuyi go?
Qiao Yin always knew that her brother was a sore spot for Lu Lingche, someone he would not tolerate being maligned.
So initially, she, under the guise of Godkiller, broke through the TianSheng mobile phone system designed by Lu Shengqing. This led to Lu Shengqing being criticized even after his death, greatly angering Lu Lingche, who refused to pay her promised reward.
Now, with Lu Lingche taking his brother’s last words as his life mission to protect Lan Yuyi, it makes sense that he would prioritize rescuing Yuyi in a hostage situation.
A deep knot within Qiao Yin’s heart had been untangled, reducing the resentment she held towards Lu Lingche.
However, her hatred for Lan Yuyi did not lessen at all. She would still deal with her when the time came!
Protecting Lan Yuyi was Lu Shengqing’s last wish, and Lu Lingche’s mission, but it wasn’t Qiao Yin’s.
She owed nothing to Lu Shengqing, nor to Lu Lingche!
Her voice was calm: “So, you’re saying all this to convince me to let Lan Yuyi go?”
“Can you?”
“Let’s see about that.”
If he willingly revealed the truth about his protection of Lan Yuyi, it was because he needed something from her!
However, she had no demands from him, so she was in no mood to reveal the truth. As for Lan Yuyi’s attempts to murder her grandmother, she could keep it to herself.
Unnecessary for outsiders to know.
She was no longer that naive, trusting girl.
Her past unrestrained sacrifice for Lu Lingche would no longer continue.
So, Qiao Yin’s reply was ambiguous.
Moreover, she didn’t get in his car to listen to him talk about Lan Yuyi; she was there to discuss Chen Yuan’s affair.
“Let’s talk about Yuanbo Finance. Did you find anything?”
Qiao Yin purposely shifted the discussion to Chen Yuan: “This afternoon, your assistant didn’t come upstairs with us but came in later to whisper something to you. You must know something we don’t. You wouldn’t be deliberately making things difficult for Yan Xi, would you?”
Changing the topic, Lu Lingche no longer mentioned his brother and Lan Yuyi.
His voice was low and didn’t hide anything: “Yuanshan indeed found Chen Yuan involved in gambling, but I’m not making it hard for Lu Yanxi. I’m giving her a chance to explain things to me herself.”
“We only suspect Chen Yuan, and we do not understand his exact work details. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have risked eavesdropping in his office. So, Yan Xi can’t explain anything to you. It’s not her fault.”
Qiao Yin defended Lu Yanxi, then asked, “How deeply is Chen Yuan involved? How many times has he participated? Do you plan to deal with him?”
“He didn’t participate much. Yuanshan has already checked; he only took part twice, and the first time he didn’t earn a commission. Today, he only made over a million.”
Qiao Yin was taken aback: “He made over a million today?”
“Yes, many projects in that casino are illegal. They are all operated covertly, with falsified accounts. They evade taxes, so whatever the customers lose, they earn purely. The commission for intermediaries is exorbitantly high, at a rate of 35%.”
As Qiao Yin was shocked by this high commission rate, she couldn’t help but glance at Lingche, “When Yan Xi and I went to the casino today, you didn’t know about that, did you?”
Lu Lingche nodded: “I knew.”
Qiao Yin was so furious that she clenched her teeth: “You knew where Chen Yuan was, but you didn’t tell us? Yan Xi and I drove around the city for the entire afternoon trying to find him!”
Lu Lingche glanced at her helplessly: “You really do wrong me. How could I have known that you two were driving around all afternoon looking for Chen Yuan? I thought Lu Yanxi had called Chen Yuan to warn him. Who would have known that you two would be so dense as to look for him?”
