Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Anti-Torture 5_1

After telling Chen Yun what had happened, Chen Yun dispatched people to the hospital and the two places Zhilan’s sister mentioned, to find possible clues. After that, Lin Chan took Zhilan back to school.

They didn’t speak on the way. Obviously, the truck driver’s suicide sent the case into a dead end.

"This matter is likely at a standstill. How is it that Gu En has such a capability? Even in hospital, she can make the truck driver willing to die for her?" Lin Chan hit the steering wheel angrily at the thought.

Zhilan’s expression darkened, "There are two possibilities. Firstly, someone else knows about what Gu En did. Secondly, the intermediary we suspect is very familiar with Gu En. This person must have met or contacted Gu En yesterday. There’s also a possibility that someone in Chen Yun’s team leaked information, giving Gu En’s people time to arrange things in advance."

"They must have contacted by phone. Chen Yun had people secretly watching in the hospital yesterday, and no unfamiliar faces were observed entering Gu En’s room. After Gu En woke up, only a few close friends visited her." Lin Chan cursed, "In a few days, Gu En will be discharged from the hospital. If we can’t find any evidence to accuse her before that, she will escape justice and continue to do evil! The idea of this Little Devil causing trouble again is intolerable!"

The one who was most upset wasn’t just Lin Chan, but also Zhilan.

After having dinner with Zhilan, Lin Chan dropped her off at school. It was already nighttime. After watching Lin Chan leave, Zhilan went to inform Zhou Hongjin about the suicide of the truck driver.

When she returned to her dorm, Zhilan was clearly distraught. The afternoon events had left her feeling more lost than when she had left with Lin Chan.

"Zhilan, have you eaten yet? Where did you go this afternoon?" Seeing her return, Chen Xiting asked Zhilan.

"I had something to do." Zhilan regained her senses and glanced at Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting, "You guys haven’t been waiting for me to eat till now, have you? Have you two eaten yet? I went out with Lin Chan this afternoon and had dinner with him. If you haven’t eaten yet, go out and eat! Sorry, I forgot about you two!"

The events of the afternoon had spoiled the moods of Lin Chan and Zhilan. As a result, Zhilan forgot to bring back takeaway for Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting when she and Lin Chan had dinner. Seeing the hungry look on Chen Xiting’s face, Zhilan felt guilty.

Chen Xiting and Jiang Biyun were indeed waiting for Zhilan until now, "Oh, your brother called earlier and left a number for you to call him back. You call your brother first, and Jiang Biyun and I will go out for something to eat! Next time, remember to leave a note for Jiang Biyun and me, so we don’t worry about you!".

"I understand! It’s my mistake! It won’t happen again!" Zhilan replied with a smile. She made a promise and then took the small piece of paper that Chen Xiting handed her. It wasn’t until they left, that she dialed the number on the paper.

The number He Teng left was the phone number of the hotel he was staying at. The person who answered the call was the hotel’s receptionist. Finally, they called He Teng, who had returned to his room, to answer the phone.
