82: My best friend is being controlled by Yuan Jing?

"Lan Ziju, is something wrong?" The call was quickly connected, and Liang Yuzhu's voice rang out.

Her voice was slightly hoarse, and her tone was a little stiff, sounding even a bit impolite.

However, Lan Zijun didn't mind; she knew her best friend well. Liang Yuzhu was no different from an ordinary young girl in everyday life, but when facing official business, she would transform into a workaholic, completely focused.

She wasn't dissatisfied with Lan Zijun calling her; it was just that she was currently in work mode, so her speech was extremely simple and direct.

"Are you busy?" A hint of concern was in Lan Zijun's light tone.

"Not right now, I'm waiting for a meeting."

Liang Yuzhu finally began to disengage from her work emotions, and her voice became a little gentler: "Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

"I got some information about Sihai Shipping. Sihai Shipping and Chuangtong Logistics have very deep connections. Also, both companies might be related to Wang Lin," Lan Zijun said calmly.

This was what she had interpreted from Yuan's words, combined with the information she had gathered, making it highly reliable.

"Wang Lin?" Liang Yuzhu was a little surprised. "Wang Jian's son, the former local richest man?"

"Yes," Lan Zijun nodded.

"That doesn't make sense. Although Wang Jian's Kelly Investment's influence has been declining in recent years due to improving regulations and market saturation, his Kelly Group is still one of the top super-rich locally and ranks nationally."

"Although his second son isn't the first heir, he still has legal inheritance rights and can easily get billions in family wealth. It doesn't seem necessary for him to take such risks..."

Liang Yuzhu's voice was low, clearly indicating she was quickly contemplating the reliability of this information. The next second, she suddenly reacted: "Wait, you went to collect information?"

"Yes." There was nothing to deny about this; Lan Zijun admitted it frankly.

"Oh dear!" A hint of exasperation was in Liang Yuzhu's voice. "I told you, if you accidentally learn anything, just tell me. But don't actively investigate!"

"Do you know this is a major smuggling case involving an amount over ten billion yuan! And the criminal organization is extremely tight-knit, with extremely brutal methods!"

"You are just a legitimate entrepreneur; you absolutely cannot deeply participate in such a case because doing so puts yourself in danger!"

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. I just sent a letter of intent to Chuangtong Logistics and Sihai Shipping, two local companies, under the guise of expanding overseas business. From their replies, I found that their business scope and even shipping routes are highly overlapping."

Lan Zijun calmly replied, "As for the news that Wang Lin is related to both, it wasn't me who actively investigated; someone else told me."

"Who told you? It couldn't be that Yuan, could it?"

There was a clear hint of helplessness in Liang Yuzhu's voice: "Lan Ziju, didn't I tell you? Don't have too much contact with that Yuan, and the transaction between you and him should also be completely forgotten!"

"In fact, the transaction between you and that Yuan already constitutes the illegal act of illegally obtaining and selling citizen privacy. It's just that you didn't use this privacy for illegal profit, and essentially, this privacy is also about Qian Boda's criminal behavior. Your investigation of him can be seen as emergency avoidance or preventing a crime, so you won't be prosecuted."

"However, illegal behavior is illegal! The country's laws simply do not encourage this kind of investigation that infringes on the privacy rights of others, including us law enforcement officers; we actually do not recognize evidence obtained through unauthorized private collection!"

"Moreover, don't you think it's very dangerous that this Yuan is targeting your psychological state step by step?"

"Captain Liang, the meeting is about to start," a faint voice sounded, and Liang Yuzhu's voice became hurried.

"Lan Ziju," she said earnestly, "I don't want you to get involved in anything illegal, and I don't want you to encounter any danger."

"I understand your desire to help me. But dealing with criminals is not your area of expertise; it is our duty."

"If you are worried about our undercover agent and want to do something, I can tell you, she is already back!"

"I'm going to work now. Listen to me, don't interfere in this matter anymore."

The call was abruptly hung up. Lan Zijun held her phone, looking at the screen before her, a little lost in thought.

She wasn't a delicate flower in a greenhouse; she knew very well that Liang Yuzhu was right.

Ordinary people might have a slight sense of respect or even awe towards her identity as a female President, a favored daughter of heaven, but those criminal groups wouldn't care about such things at all.

Once their interests were threatened, they might really do something unfavorable to her!

However, Lan Zijun was not someone easily intimidated; she was very firm in her principles.

She picked up her phone again, forwarded the picture from her computer to her phone, then selected Liang Yuzhu's name and casually tapped send.

Some things are the right things to do, and the right things should be done!

For this, even taking some risks and paying some price is worth it.

...

At the Municipal Bureau, Liang Yuzhu stood up and walked towards the conference room.

Her phone chimed, and Liang Yuzhu subconsciously glanced at it. Lan Zijun's name flashed on the screen.

"Sigh." Liang Yuzhu sighed silently.

Just as Lan Zijun understood Liang Yuzhu, Liang Yuzhu also understood Lan Zijun.

Her best friend, the female President, was a person with extremely firm willpower; once she made up her mind, it was difficult for others to sway her.

Even knowing there might be great danger, she still plunged in without hesitation to help her. And even after she had explained things so clearly, she still persistently sent the so-called information.

While walking towards the conference room, Liang Yuzhu casually opened the message and took a look. It was a picture, showing a man and a woman sitting opposite each other.

Liang Yuzhu recognized the young man; it was Wang Lin, just as Lan Zijun had said before.

Liang Yuzhu shook her head slightly; there was nothing remarkable about this picture, as Wang Lin meeting a woman was hardly a secret.

After all, besides being a well-known local young master and rich second-generation, he was also a notorious playboy.

If Lan Zijun concluded that Wang Lin was related to Sihai Shipping based solely on this photo, then it could only be said that she was being overly suspicious.

Or rather, she was too superstitious about Yuan.

From Liang Yuzhu's perspective, she actually disliked this Yuan very much. She even had a strong urge to uncover Yuan's identity and bring him to justice.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's identity was too mysterious, currently didn't seem to have committed any illegal acts causing serious social harm, and her work focus wasn't in this area, she really would have done so.

The reason was simple: Liang Yuzhu was the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps, a law enforcement officer authorized by law, and a maintainer of rules and order.

She hated any behavior that disregarded laws and rules and was hostile to any force or individual who dared to challenge the law.

And frankly, she didn't think this Yuan was that amazing.

She even thought Lan Zijun's trust in the other party was somewhat bizarre.

As the saying goes, bystanders see more clearly. Lan Zijun might be deceived by Yuan's series of dazzling maneuvers and elevate him to a very high position. But in Liang Yuzhu's view, Yuan's actions were actually nothing extraordinary.

Based on her experience, the so-called Yuan must be someone in Lan Zijun's company. The reason he could get information on Lan Zijun and Qian Boda wasn't because he was incredibly omnipotent, but simply because he had malicious intentions from the start and had been monitoring Lan Zijun and Qian Boda.

Liang Yuzhu even had some speculation about the other party's trajectory. She estimated that the other party likely first discovered Qian Boda's scumbag identity, felt there was profit to be gained from it, and then deeply investigated the identity of the woman.

Then he discovered that the woman was Lan Zijun's doctor, combined it with his understanding of Lan Zijun, conducted a series of deductions and verifications, and finally uncovered Qian Boda's secret.

While this certainly demonstrated the other party's strong analytical ability and meticulous logical thinking, that was all there was to it.

Given this, whether the other party could also demonstrate his magical abilities in the Sihai Shipping smuggling case was highly questionable; at least, Liang Yuzhu held no expectations whatsoever.

The reason was simple: Liang Yuzhu was the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Captain. While she didn't claim to know the city's situation like the back of her hand, she at least believed that if there truly was an omnipotent intelligence organization in the city, it would be impossible for her to receive no information about it.

Moreover, when it comes to the professionalism of intelligence gathering, who could surpass the official authorities?

In the case of Sihai Shipping, even the Municipal Bureau currently had no way to deal with the other party, and could even be described as having suffered losses. This was enough to show how secretive and professional the other party was.

Dealing with such a criminal group was completely different in difficulty from investigating Lan Zijun and Qian Boda. Lan Zijun was a legitimate female entrepreneur who wouldn't normally consider the possibility of being followed or monitored. As for Qian Boda, needless to say, he was a complete fool. If he weren't a fool, he wouldn't have devised such a foolish plan.

Liang Yuzhu didn't even believe Qian Boda's plan could succeed, because Lan Zijun was a very intelligent person.

But how could such an extremely intelligent woman be completely controlled by a so-called Yuan?

This forced Liang Yuzhu to have a bizarre guess in her heart.

Could it be that her best friend, without realizing it, had been mentally controlled by that Yuan?
