46: There's a man pretending to be your uncle at the door.
Xie Changkun also walked out when he heard the noise and asked with a puzzled expression, "Xiao Ye, do you know Zhou Tiansheng, Captain Zhou, from Xingqiao District?"
"Oh, we just arrested someone together yesterday."
"Oh, he called to ask about you, kid. You're quite famous now," Xie Changkun teased.
He was a bit surprised to receive Zhou Tiansheng's call. Although he knew him, they had never actually spoken. Why would he suddenly call, and about Ye Lin no less?
This was clearly an attempt to poach him.
"Are you back for something? Didn't Director Gao ask you to help out at the Branch Bureau first?"
"I came to pack some things. I'll be staying at the Branch Bureau for the next few days. Zhang Yongqiang has provided some leads that need to be followed up on."
"Alright. Anyway, if anything comes up, tell us as soon as possible. Our Baiyun Police Station is your home base. If you're bullied, we'll fight back!" Xie Changkun said domineeringly.
This touched Ye Lin. The police profession was like that; they were all one big family. The longer you worked together, the deeper the bond, so deep you couldn't leave.
It was a good thing Xie Changkun didn't know about him being hit today. If he did, he'd probably jump up and start cursing.
After exchanging a few words with his colleagues at the Police Station, it was already past ten o'clock without him realizing it. Ye Lin finished packing his things and prepared to go to the Branch Bureau.
The officer on duty ran in, "Senior Apprentice Ye, someone is looking for you outside."
Ye Lin was startled. Who would be looking for him so early in the morning?
Seeing Ye Lin's puzzled expression, the young officer said with even more certainty, "I just thought that guy looked a bit strange. He's so young, and he said he's your uncle. Senior Apprentice Ye, be careful, don't get scammed. I don't think that guy looks like a good person."
Ye Lin's forehead was covered in black lines. Damn it, it must be his younger uncle, Wang Chao. His phone seemed to have fallen into the river yesterday, so he probably couldn't reach him and just showed up.
As for whether he was a good person or not, how should he put it?
There's an old saying: a nephew resembles his uncle, and vice versa. So Wang Chao and Ye Lin did look somewhat alike, both with a 'not a good person' look about them.
It was quite normal for the young officer to be mistaken.
Ye Lin walked out. At the entrance of the Police Station, a very ordinary-looking minivan was parked.
This car was also his suggestion; the interior could be luxurious, but the exterior had to look very ordinary.
According to Ye Lin, it was called 'low-key luxury.'
Wang Chao also listened to Ye Lin, decisively getting a modified car with all bulletproof glass, luxurious inside and unassuming outside.
As soon as Ye Lin saw the car, he knew his young younger uncle had arrived.
Indeed, a trendy young man in casual attire was standing in front of the car, curiously surveying the Baiyun Police Station.
"I said, can't you be a bit more serious? Being so shifty at the entrance of the Police Station, be careful you don't get arrested," Ye Lin directly dissed him.
Wang Chao saw Ye Lin walk out in plain clothes and said with a hip-hop expression, "When it comes to being unserious, who can beat you? Look at you, if I didn't know you, I'd think you just got out."
Ye Lin's forehead was covered in black lines. Damn it, this guy was just so annoying.
"If you say that again, I'll tell my grandma," Ye Lin threatened.
Upon hearing his mother's name, Wang Chao couldn't help but shiver. He didn't know why, but his mother didn't dote on her own son, only on her grandson.
People say that getting a child late in life makes you dote on them a lot.
But after Ye Lin came along, his son, born late in life, was cast aside.
Anyway, whenever Ye Lin complained, his mother would always scold him.
Perhaps this was the so-called 'grandparental love.'
"No, let's solve things ourselves, brother. It's not good to call the parents," Wang Chao quickly pleaded for mercy.
"I'm your nephew, not your brother."
"That's not right, we can each have our own opinion."
"Scram."
The two young men from different generations bickered for a few sentences, then Ye Lin said seriously, "Why did you come all this way to find me?"
"Big brother, what do you mean? Didn't you say making games could earn a lot of money? You told me to bring a team over to hear you talk."
"..."
"Sorry, I got so caught up in catching thieves that I forgot. Well, let's go. Where should we talk? I still have to go catch criminals later."
"You're awesome!" Wang Chao gave a speechless thumbs-up.
"Let's go to Yuehao. It's our own hotel," Wang Chao said.
"Alright."
Ye Lin picked up his large bag and got into the car.
"Wait, my grand-nephew, what is this?" Wang Chao asked, pointing at Ye Lin's large bag.
"My daily toiletries. I'm at the Branch Bureau these days, assisting with a case."
Wang Chao was speechless for a moment, "Big brother, can you not be so low-key? Didn't I just give you 2 million? Can't you buy something expensive?"
"What is all this stuff?"
"Only people with impoverished spiritual lives like you pursue material luxury." Ye Lin gave him a look and got straight into the car.
Inside the car, there were leather seats, or rather, sofas, and drinks of all kinds.
"You're just corrupt, aren't you?" Ye Lin complained.
Besides Wang Chao, there were also a few middle-aged men in plaid shirts, wearing glasses, and half-bald. Ye Lin paused, then looked back at Wang Chao.
"Programmers?"
"Police officers are truly amazing, recognizing them at a glance."
"Scram."
Damn it, are programmers universally the same across all dimensions, always looking the same?
The car sped away from the Baiyun Police Station, leaving the people inside still discussing it.
"Xiao Ye's so-called uncle seems to come from an ordinary family too. He's dressed like us, and he has a broken minivan."
"Oh, think about it. The two of them aren't far apart in age, so he must have been born when his parents were quite old. Generally, wealthy families don't have children at such an old age."
"Poor child, I'm going to find a girl with good family conditions for Xiao Ye," Older Sister He declared confidently.
"You guys, stop guessing and get to work," Xie Changkun lightly reprimanded them.
He had seen the results of the Supervisory Brigade's investigation into Ye Lin at Gao Dawen's office. In 10 minutes, this seemingly inconspicuous younger uncle had transferred 1 million yuan.
Could this be an ordinary person?
However, since Ye Lin himself didn't say anything, he couldn't expose it, as it was a private matter.
Hmm, why does this young man look a bit familiar? ... The Yuehao Grand Hotel is Yuezhou City's five-star hotel, located on Jianshe Road in the city center of Yuezhou City. It has always been a symbol of high-end luxury.
In the splendid lobby, the marble floor was polished as clean and bright as a mirror. Every piece of furniture and decoration exuded luxury, somewhat similar to Ye Lin's 'low-key luxury.'
Ye Lin paused when he walked in. He had been staying in the Police Station and living in the dormitory for a while, getting used to that simple life. Suddenly, he felt a bit unaccustomed to such a dazzling place.
