At that moment, she could no longer stop herself from asking him right then and there.
But when she opened her mouth, she realized she couldn't make a sound.
After leaving the office with a complicated state of mind, Chi Yin felt dazed.
She had grown up in the Dragon Soul Organization and had been personally trained by Ye Chen's master, so she was utterly loyal to Ye Chen.
But as an orphan, she desperately wanted to know who her family was.
Had they abandoned her, or was there some other reason?
So she had been secretly investigating all along, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find any information about her parents.
It was as if those two people didn't exist in the world.
After all these years, she had nearly given up hope.
Then Tang Yu had suddenly brought it up today, leaving her completely stunned.
"How much else does he know? Why is the Dragon King my enemy? And what does the Tang Family have to do with it?"
Questions tangled together in her mind.
After taking a few deep breaths, she quickly collected herself.
Investigate the Tang Family first!
Since the Tang Family had once helped her father, she was sure she could find something by following that lead!
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it and saw that it was the Dragon King calling.
So she hurried up to the office building's rooftop, answered the call, and said, "Dragon King, what are your orders?"
"Chi Yin, how's the investigation going?" Ye Chen's voice came through.
She hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I've already obtained the first batch of information. I'll send it to you later."
"Good. Thanks for all your hard work. You're still the one I can rely on most."
Hearing that things were going smoothly, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Holding his phone, he gave a wicked smile and said, "As long as you finish the mission before Ling Han, you can become my woman before she does."
Chi Yin didn't even know how to respond to that.
Suddenly... she felt like she'd lost her appetite.
Tang Yu's words—that the Dragon King was her true enemy—had completely changed her state of mind.
"Hmm? Why aren't you saying anything?"
When Chi Yin didn't respond with the excited, grateful reaction he'd expected,
Ye Chen's tone turned slightly displeased.
Chi Yin came to her senses and hurriedly replied, "Someone just came by, so I didn't hear you. I'll go deliver the information now."
With that, she quickly hung up.
She hurriedly took photos of the fake documents in her hands with her phone, then rushed to deliver them to the business division.
When she returned after delivering the documents, Tang Yu was busy tapping away at the keyboard, making fake documents.
Seeing how long Chi Yin had been gone,
Tang Yu couldn't help grinning.
[That silly girl definitely made a copy of the documents in secret. Hilarious.]
[They say big breasts mean a small brain, but her A-cups don't seem to come with much smarts either.]
[No wonder she's been fooled by Ye Chen and his master for so many years. Sigh, I almost feel sorry for her.]
Hearing his thoughts, Chi Yin's mouth twitched.
Could he please stop bringing up her A-cups?
She really wanted to hit him.
But after hearing Tang Yu mention Ye Chen and his master, she could no longer doubt what he'd said!
This guy even knew that old man from the Dragon Soul Organization existed!
After spending another long while fiddling with the fake documents, Tang Yu finished his work and stretched.
Looking at Chi Yin standing nearby, he thought for a moment, then gave her an order.
"By the way, the company's planning to get into the gaming business. I need you to do some research for me."
"How should I do that?"
Chi Yin knew this guy was up to some new scheme.
Tang Yu went over, switched on the television mounted on the office wall, and turned on the game console.
"There are twenty-five games here, all of them bestsellers on the market right now."
"I want you to beat every one of them, then send me a work report each day."
"The company also provides snacks and milk tea for free, and we'll reimburse any food delivery orders. Eat whatever you want."
"Just focus on this for now. If you get tired of playing, take a nap in the lounge next door. There's no problem with that."
Chi Yin was dumbfounded by Tang Yu's arrangements.
"Alright, get started. No slacking off, okay? There are cameras in the office, so I can see you."
After sternly reminding her, Tang Yu left the office with a grin.
[Haha, it wouldn't be right to send you somewhere else.]
[To keep you from causing trouble somewhere else, I might as well have you play games all day.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts as he left,
Chi Yin sat down and started playing, looking utterly speechless.
Before long, she was immersed in the world of the game.
July 13.
Played games.
July 14.
Played games.
July 15.
Played games.
July 16.
Chi Yin, Chi Yin, how could you let yourself sink this low? Have you finished investigating everything?
July 17.
Played games.
Mingyue Hotel.
One of the rooms on the twelfth floor.
A female hotel attendant stood at the door and knocked gently.
"Hello, guest. Check-out time was two hours ago. Are you still inside?"
It was three in the afternoon. Check-out time had originally been one.
According to hotel policy, if a guest still hadn't checked out two hours after the deadline, staff had to go to the room and check.
After knocking several more times, she still heard no response from inside.
The attendant had no choice but to use the hotel keycard to open the door.
When she entered, the air conditioning was on, and the room was freezing.
The female attendant shivered from the cold. Seeing that the bathroom light was still on, she walked over to take a look—and found a woman lying in the bathtub.
The water in the tub had already turned bloodred.
A scream soon rang out, echoing down the corridor.
Within minutes, the hotel's medical staff rushed over to try to resuscitate her.
"She's gone..."
After trying for a while, the medical staff gave a bitter smile.
News that someone had died by suicide at Mingyue Hotel soon spread.
A large number of guests checked out as soon as they heard.
Tang Yu rushed over at the first opportunity, too.
When he arrived, the hotel's new general manager, Zhao Li, was already waiting for him.
Seeing Tang Yu arrive, Zhao Li hurriedly apologized.
"Young Master Tang, I failed to handle things properly. This happened right after I took over the hotel."
The previous general manager had barely warmed his seat before getting promoted and leaving. Zhao Li had only just taken over, and now he was stuck with this mess.
If it wasn't handled properly, the impact on the hotel would be severe.
"It's not your fault." Tang Yu patted him on the shoulder. "What's the situation now?"
"The scene has been sealed off. The police are investigating and collecting evidence. Their initial judgment is that it was a suicide."
Zhao Li answered.
"A suicide?"
Tang Yu furrowed his brows.
Everyone who could afford to stay at Mingyue Hotel was among the wealthiest of the wealthy.
There was a saying online: having money didn't necessarily make you happy.
That was because the happiness of the rich was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
So in all these years, no one had ever committed suicide at Mingyue Hotel.
If life was good, who the hell would want to throw it away?
Zhao Li glanced around, then lowered his voice.
"But the police found that a section of the victim's hair was missing, and she may have been... you know. But they can't find any evidence."
"What about the surveillance footage?"
"It didn't show anyone entering or leaving her room."
Tang Yu's brows knitted tightly. Something about this really didn't seem right.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat down to think for a moment. Suddenly, one person came to mind.
Long Ya.
