Chapter 987: Chapter 984: Mutation

Dai Fu’s eyes clearly flashed with disappointment, but she still politely took Yan Bo’s wallet, scrutinized the photo of them together seriously, and then smiled.

"Senior, you flatter me too much, your girlfriend is so pretty, I don’t even have one percent of her beauty."

Though she was smiling, her smile was somewhat ugly and a bit awkward.

Obviously, she had a fondness for Yan Bo.

However, these feelings were strangled in the cradle by a single photograph.

Their conversation volume wasn’t high, so the big supervisor had no clue what they were talking about. However, when the meal was over and the big supervisor suggested that the four young people should go somewhere else to continue the evening, Dai Fu declined.

"Uncle, I’m a bit tired and would like to go back to rest early, if that’s okay?"

The big supervisor was taken aback for a moment, obviously misled by the seemingly enjoyable conversation between Yan Bo and Dai Fu.

After realizing, the big supervisor gave Yan Bo a thoughtful look, then raised his hand to rub Dai Fu’s head.

"Of course, you can, let’s arrange another day to hang out with Xiao Yan, after all, you two have already exchanged contact information."

With these words, his intentions were laid bare.

After sending the big supervisor and Dai Fu off in their car, Yan Bo and Di Xu stood at the restaurant’s entrance, watching the vehicle disappear into the distance.

Di Xu nudged Yan Bo in the arm, "Boss, seems like the big supervisor is trying to set you up with Miss Dai, huh?"

Yan Bo turned and walked towards his own car, replying indifferently, "You noticed that too?"

Di Xu quickly caught up with him, "Honestly, I didn’t catch on at first, but then I saw the big supervisor and his secretary pestering me with questions, when clearly, many of the things would have been more direct and clearer if they’d asked you. Plus, the big supervisor kept glancing over at you two during dinner. If I hadn’t noticed that, I’d be blind!"

"Of course you’re not blind. Yanhuang isn’t a charity; why would we hire a blind person?"

Yan Bo unlocked the car and turned to toss the keys to Di Xu, "You drive!"

Di Xu, quick to react, caught the keys and teased him, "Aren’t you going to give me a hush fee?"

Yan Bo answered swiftly, "No!"

Bending over, he opened the car door and slid into the back seat.

Di Xu took the driver’s seat, turned his head to look at him, "Boss, you’re not afraid I’ll spill the beans to Junior Sister?"

Clearly, Di Xu was unaware that Yan Bo had swiftly and decisively cut off Dai Fu’s hope.

"Not afraid!"

Yan Bo replied tersely and took out his phone to make a call.

Di Xu looked at him with a smile, "Still say you’re not scared, are you going to confess proactively?"

Yan Bo couldn’t be bothered with him and pressed the shortcut key, but strangely, no one answered the phone.

Yan Bo assumed Tong Xiaohua might be dining in a noisy place and hence hadn’t heard the phone ringing. So, he persistently redialed once, twice, three times, but still, no one answered.

Having already started the car and driven into the center of the road, Di Xu glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror, his eyebrows furrowed with concern, and asked with a hint of amusement.

"Boss, did Junior Sister install surveillance cameras on you or something? She’s not answering your calls that fast?"

Yan Bo ignored him and tried a different phone number.

This time, he dialed Qin Ming’s number.

Strangely, just like Tong Xiaohua’s, Qin Ming’s phone also rang several times with no answer.

Yan Bo felt a bad hunch inexplicably arising in his heart, so he dialed another number.

The phone rang for a long time, and just when Yan Bo thought that once again there would be no answer, the call was finally picked up.

"Brother Yang, it’s me, Xiao Yan," Yan Bo reported himself immediately.

"Yan Third Young Master, what’s the matter?"

From the other end of the phone, a very noisy voice could faintly be heard.

And Brother Yang’s voice, it seemed, was accompanied by a hint of panting.

Yan Bo’s brows furrowed even tighter, "Brother Yang, has something happened?"

On Brother Yang’s end, there was silence for a while, then a much lower voice came through deliberately.

"Third Young Master, indeed a big trouble has occurred. Our Gambling Money Bank and KTV Bar have all been raided."

Yan Bo’s hand shook, and the mobile phone almost dropped.

"Brother Yang, can you be more specific?"

Yan Bo might not be a local, but he knew that the Tong Family had dominated L City for nearly a hundred years, having found their own set of rules for survival, especially in the last ten to twenty years. The Tong Family’s businesses had grown bigger and bigger, and there were very few people in L City who dared to provoke them.

"Third Young Master, I don’t really know the details. Didn’t Miss go out to dinner with Uncle Ming and a few big supervisors tonight? Halfway through the meal, she kept receiving phone calls, and then, Miss and Uncle Ming went straight to the Police Department Headquarters."

"So you’re outside the Headquarters now?"

After Yan Bo asked, he looked up and instructed Di Xu driving in front, "Go to the Police Department Headquarters!"

Di Xu turned his head and looked at him, puzzled, but Yan Bo waved him off, signaling that they would talk about it later.

"No, I’m currently outside the casino in the east of the city. Miss asked me to come here and watch over things."

"Alright, call me if anything happens. I’m going to check out the Headquarters now."

Yan Bo was chatting with Brother Yang on the phone, but his mind was racing, trying to figure out why the Tong Family was in trouble.

After he hung up the phone, Di Xu watched through the rearview mirror and cautiously asked, "Is something wrong with Junior Sister on your side?"

From what Yan Bo had said, he detected some sort of emergency.

"Yes, the Tong Family is under comprehensive investigation."

In Yan Bo’s mind, two main possibilities had already been listed.

One, the Tong Family’s old enemies had suddenly banded together to strike at them.

Two, his own father’s actions were escalating.

Although Yan Bo listed two possibilities, he was ninety-nine percent inclined toward the latter reason in his heart.

"What? The Tong Family is being investigated? How is that possible?"

As a local, Di Xu was, of course, well aware of how solid and formidable the Tong Family’s power was in L City.

Yan Bo leaned back, "Impossible as it may seem, it is the fact."

Saying this, he raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.

Just when he had smugly thought he had removed Dai Fu as an obstacle, it turned out his father had played his trump card in another area.

This was not something Yan Bo hadn’t considered; he just always felt his father wouldn’t stoop so low.

"So what do we do now? Are you going to help her?"

If it had been a month earlier, Di Xu would probably have advised his boss to break up with Tong Xiaohua.

But Tong Xiaohua had recently helped Yanhuang unconditionally, and even though the boss later turned that money into shares under Tong Xiaohua’s name, Di Xu found himself unable to utter words of advice to split up.

Yan Bo’s frown deepened, and he replied in a heavy voice, "Help, of course I’m going to help!"

Di Xu wasn’t Yan Bo, naturally not privy to so many secrets, "But this isn’t a joke, how can you help?"

If it were any other aristocratic family in trouble, it might be easier to offer assistance, but with the Tong Family, even if one wanted to help, they might not actually be able to do much.
