382: Rapunzel keeps coming to mind!

Liu Xiaolin shook his head, laughing at his own overly rich imagination.

He raised his hand to check the time; it was almost twelve o'clock. He found a noodle shop by the sea, ate a bowl of seafood noodles, and returned to his hotel, burping.

Thinking that he hadn't contacted Shi Yuer in a long time, he called her and told her about the useful information he had gathered over the past two days.

"You mean the main culprit who framed my husband is Cai Chenghan? And Han Xiaoguo and Xiang Guangming are accomplices?" Shi Yuer asked.

"Yes, I don't think these two people seem that bad; they just want to earn more money, so they sided with Cai Chenghan," Liu Xiaolin analyzed. "Therefore, if we can find a way to bring them over to our side, clearing Dr. Hai's name will be just around the corner."

"Really? Is that really possible?" Shi Yuer was so excited she didn't know what to say.

"Tonight, I've arranged to have dinner with the accountant from Haizhe Technology. If I can get some useful information then, we'll see how to proceed with the next step," Liu Xiaolin said.

"General Manager Liu, thank you so much." Shi Yuer's heart full of gratitude melted into this sentence: "Whatever you need me to do, just say the word, and I will do it with all my might."

"Don't mention it. I just can't stand to see anyone wronged," Liu Xiaolin said. "You don't have to do anything; just carry on as usual, don't overthink it. I've got this covered here." 33 Novel Network

"Am I just going to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor?" Shi Yuer felt a little embarrassed.

"Later, after I confront Han Xiaoguo and Xiang Guangming, I'll need you to appeal to their emotions and reason with them. That's when it will be up to you," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile. "Alright, that's all for today. I'll contact you again when I have new information."

"Okay, okay, goodbye." After Shi Yuer hung up the phone, she felt like she had fallen to the bottom of a valley and seen a glimmer of light. If there's light shining into the valley, she'll surely find a way to climb out!

From last year to this year, she had been running around for Hai Zhezhe, but she kept hitting dead ends. Everyone shook their heads and told her there was nothing to be done, to stop being stubborn and give up. But how could she give up on something like this? This not only concerned Hai Zhezhe's entire life but also her daughter's future!

So, she never thought of giving up. She hired many private detective agencies, but they were all swindlers who took her money and simply provided a few photos of Cai Chenghan at drinking parties as their 'report.'

Now, Liu Xiaolin was helping her without asking for anything in return. How could she not be moved?

The key was that he had only been there for two or three days, yet he had already gathered a lot of useful information and was consistently carrying out tasks with a plan and clear ideas, which was truly remarkable.

Shi Yuer had been running around for this matter, but she couldn't grasp the key points and wasted a lot of time like a headless fly.

Today, after more than half a year of darkness, she finally saw a glimmer of hope. How could she not be excited?

Liu Xiaolin didn't know Shi Yuer's inner journey at this moment. He only knew that once Hai Zhezhe's matter was resolved quickly, he could return to Kunhe City sooner.

Thinking of Kunhe City, he thought of Hong Tongtong. He had another gathering tonight, so he probably wouldn't have time to call her. Perhaps he should call Hong Tongtong now to chat and also request a leave of absence.

With that thought, he pulled out his phone and dialed Hong Tongtong's number. It was answered within seconds.

"Hello, Xiaolin, aren't you busy today?" Hong Tongtong's voice was clear and pleasant, and as Liu Xiaolin listened to her voice, his heart softened.

"It's the weekend today, and I don't have much to do during the day, so I called you to chat," Liu Xiaolin's voice even softened as he spoke.

"Are you eating well there? Sleeping well? Have you seen many beautiful women?" Hong Tongtong asked a barrage of questions.

"Eating well, sleeping well, and no, I haven't seen any beautiful women," Liu Xiaolin replied, while involuntarily recalling the long-haired girl he had seen by the sea earlier.

Her fair skin, her smiling eyes, and her pleasant voice all rushed out of Liu Xiaolin's memory, startling him.

What was wrong with him? Why did he think of her when the words "beautiful women" were mentioned?

Liu Xiaolin shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake the long-haired girl out of his memory. But the more he shook his head, the clearer the girl's image became.

Liu Xiaolin was dumbfounded now: "What's wrong with me? I clearly love Hong Tongtong so much, how can I keep remembering that girl's appearance?"

"It's impossible that you haven't seen any beautiful women. I've heard that Yuhai City is full of beautiful women. How could you not see any when you're out every day?" Hong Tongtong still didn't believe him. "You can only say that you've seen beautiful women, but none of them are as pretty as me."

Hearing the 'correct' answer Hong Tongtong provided, Liu Xiaolin quickly responded, "Yes, Tongtong, you're right. I did see beautiful women on the street, but none of them are as pretty as you. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful."

After saying the words "the most beautiful," Liu Xiaolin was surprised to find that the image that appeared before him was not Hong Tongtong's, but that of the long-haired girl.

"That's more like it. How much longer until you come back? It's so boring eating alone in the cafeteria every day," Hong Tongtong said, pouting.

Liu Xiaolin desperately tried not to think of the long-haired girl. He rubbed his eyes hard and shook his head, finally chasing the long-haired girl's shadow out of his mind.

"I definitely can't come back for a while. If you find it boring to eat alone in the cafeteria, why don't you go home and stay for a while? At least Auntie is there, and you can talk to her when you're bored," Liu Xiaolin said.

"No, I want you to see me as soon as you return to Kunhe City, so I'll wait for you at Jiantuan Electronics," Hong Tongtong said stubbornly.

"Uncle and Auntie should be home in a few days; the peak season for air conditioner sales is almost over," Liu Xiaolin continued to persuade. "If they go home, then you go back and stay there. When I return to Kunhe City, I'll go to your house to see Uncle and Auntie first thing."

"Alright, if my Dad and Mom come home, then I'll go back and stay. I'm going to tell them that you actually left me alone in the dorm and didn't care about me, hmph!" Hong Tongtong said, pretending to be angry.

"Please don't tattle, aren't I doing this for work?" Liu Xiaolin said, a little nervously.

"I won't tattle, but you have to remember to call me every day and report your whereabouts," Hong Tongtong said.

"That's a must. I'm like a kite, and my kite string is in your hand, so don't worry," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"You're quite good at describing things. Alright, my kite, I'm going to let you go for a bit now. I need to continue reading. If you're not busy, you can rest for a while, and we'll chat tonight."
