Chapter 90: You’ll Know When the Time Comes
"Then I’ll get straight to the point!"
Lin Tian said earnestly, "Miss Bai suspects Wang Ba is the insider, so she sent me to investigate this matter!"
"And then?" Ning couldn’t contain his curiosity.
"And then?" Lin Tian was stunned, "That’s it!"
"..." Ning looked exasperated.
"Didn’t you want me to keep it simple?" Lin Tian asked in return.
"Too simple, isn’t it?" Ning tapped the table with his pen, "I meant for you to briefly describe the sequence of events!"
"You already know what happened next. Wang Ba and the others went to Miss Bai’s office, I happened to be in charge of investigating it, then we met each other, and then you guys arrived!" Lin Tian said truthfully.
"Alright, alright, you don’t need to say anymore!" Ning signaled Lin Tian to keep quiet.
"I’ll write it myself!" Ning lowered his head and swiftly wrote a bunch of words in the notebook.
As Ning placed the pen on the table, Lin Tian asked, "Can I leave now?"
"Hmm!" Ning nodded, stood up, and opened the door to the interrogation room, "You can leave for now. If there’s anything else, we’ll contact you!"
"Okay!" Lin Tian walked out of the interrogation room and quickly exited the police station.
There was no choice; it was already late at night, and he was too tired to keep his eyes open.
When he stepped out of the police station, the first thing he saw was Bai Shishi.
"Miss Bai, why are you here? Didn’t you go home to sleep?" Lin Tian was surprised by Bai Shishi’s presence.
He thought after separating, Bai Shishi would go home to sleep.
Unexpectedly, she was here.
"With you here, can I sleep soundly?" Bai Shishi gave him a look and spoke irritably.
For some reason...
Lin Tian felt a warmth in his heart!
"How’s the matter about the insider going? Did the police tell you anything?" Lin Tian asked aloud.
Since Bai Shishi was at the police station entrance, she must know the situation regarding Wang Ba and the other two’s interrogation.
"It’s not convenient to talk here, let’s discuss in the car!" Bai Shishi motioned for Lin Tian to get in the car.
The two sat inside a Mercedes S400L.
Bai Shishi then spoke, "I called a friend just now and asked. They said Wang Ba and the other two persistently deny being insiders, claiming they coveted company properties and wanted to sneak out some items to sell!"
"What do we do then?" Lin Tian frowned.
Without conclusive evidence, it’s hard to convict Wang Ba and the others.
"The interrogation is ongoing. I also called Xiaogang; he said the surveillance footage on the sixth floor was turned off and didn’t capture any useful evidence, so if Wang Ba and the others really don’t confess, it’s unlikely they’ll be locked up for long!" Bai Shishi tapped the steering wheel, seemingly preoccupied.
"Miss Bai, I don’t know Wang Ba well, but from my encounter with them in the hallway, these guys didn’t seem greedy, more like they had a purpose going to your office!" Lin Tian recalled the scene at that time.
If the three really coveted company properties to steal, they would certainly be cautious.
Encountering either people or threats, they would definitely flee immediately.
This is a thief’s psychological issue.
Once you become a thief, you’ll feel fear and nervousness.
But looking at Wang Ba and the others, their purpose didn’t seem to be the properties.
"A purpose?" Bai Shishi deliberately repeated these three words.
"Actually, I’ve been suspecting someone all along!" Bai Shishi finally voiced her doubt.
This suspicion arose when Wang Ba and his companions were identified as insiders.
She just hadn’t spoken out, as it involved too many issues.
"Suspecting someone?" Lin Tian, being smart, quickly responded, "Miss Bai means, Wang Ba isn’t the ultimate mastermind?"
"Correct!" Bai Shishi nodded affirmatively, "He’s more like a pawn, behind him is likely his uncle Wang Quan!"
"Wang Quan?" Lin Tian asked, "Is this person very powerful?"
"Wang Quan isn’t necessarily powerful, but he’s rich!" Bai Shishi smiled slightly, "You know, nowadays wealth means respect, money can achieve many things, so having money is enough!"
Lin Tian saw Bai Shishi’s tightly furrowed brows, knowing she must have plans in mind, "Miss Bai, you need me to do something, right?"
"You really are like a worm in my stomach, knowing exactly what I want to say next!" Bai Shishi laughed.
"No choice, your expression already betrayed you!"
"Actually, the task I have for you is both simple and complicated!"
"Alright, go ahead and say it!" Lin Tian said.
"Wang Quan usually behaves properly in the company, acting cautiously, so I’m not sure if he’s truly the mastermind behind this!"
"Maybe tonight’s incident was initiated by Wang Ba, or perhaps his uncle Wang Quan was behind it!"
"So I want you to investigate whether Wang Quan has any direct connections to tonight’s event!"
"If there’s a connection, I’d want to prepare in advance; if there’s none, that’s best, so the Beauty Woman Cosmetics Company won’t fall apart!"
"How should the investigation be conducted?" Lin Tian asked again.
"You surely can’t find out about Wang Quan in the company, since he’s diligent and dedicated there, so I want you to go to his house, hide inside, and eavesdrop on some news!" Bai Shishi’s red lips revealed a sinister smile.
"I see!" Lin Tian nodded thoughtfully.
"This task is seemingly simple, but sneaking into Wang Quan’s house without being detected and eavesdropping is challenging!" Bai Shishi paused, then continued, "That’s the difficult part!"
"No worries! Leave this to me!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, "After all, I don’t have classes recently, there are still a few days until the final exam, so I can do everything I need to!"
"But during the final exam, Miss Bai, please give me a break!"
"Huh?" Bai Shishi was taken aback.
"You’re still taking the final exam? Weren’t you expelled?"
"Got some help, transferred my records from the Third Middle School to the First Middle School, and will directly take the final exam there!"
"Are you sure you can get into a prestigious university?" Bai Shishi questioned, seeing Lin Tian always not studying and running around with her.
"You’ll see at that time!" Lin Tian showed a mysterious smile.
"If you can’t get in, you can hang out with me!" Bai Shishi didn’t mind this matter, as in her eyes, Lin Tian could never get into a prestigious university!
Failing to get into a prestigious university, and attending some lesser-known college, won’t help in finding a good job afterward; even if he finds one, he’ll earn barely two thousand a month.
It’s hard to support himself, let alone find a wife and buy a car.
In reason, Lin Tian won’t choose to leave.
Bai Shishi simply thought so, but she didn’t realize that her thoughts indicated a reluctance to let Lin Tian leave.
Or more directly, she had already become somewhat reliant on Lin Tian.
This man is always there to help her.
Helping with things, easing troubles, solving problems.
To the extent that Bai Shishi wanted selfishly to ask Lin Tian to forgo the final exam!
