After hanging up, Lin Chen dialed a number.
He hadn't dialed this number before.
"Who is this?"
The call connected quickly.
A woman asked in English on the other end.
"Ms. Solina, this is Lin Chen. Do you remember me?"
Solina's eyes lit up on the other end of the phone.
Of course she remembered Lin Chen; he had saved her life.
"Mr. Lin, it's you."
"Do you need my help with something? You saved my life, so I owe you a favor."
Solina quickly said.
Lin Chen: "My father-in-law went missing today, and I need your help."
"Mr. Lin, could you provide more information? That way, we can find Mr. Xu faster."
Lin Chen said: "He's been out of contact for a few hours. His phone is off, and no one has called."
"The day before yesterday, my father-in-law's security contract with Black Shield Company expired. They requested a minimum renewal of six months, but my father-in-law didn't renew it because they were going back to the country soon."
Solina: "Understood… Our family has connections within Black Shield Company. I will ask if they are involved."
"Mr. Lin, I will find out as quickly as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Solina immediately took action.
She now controlled most of the family's power.
More than two hours later, the plane carrying Lin Chen landed.
Three cars were waiting for Lin Chen inside the airport.
Lin Chen got off the plane and saw Solina.
"Ms. Solina, do you have any results?"
Lin Chen asked.
Solina nodded, "Mr. Lin, let's talk in the car."
Lin Chen and the others got into a stretched limousine, flanked by two other cars. The three vehicles quickly left the airport.
"Ms. Solina, what's going on?"
Lin Chen asked in a serious tone.
Solina replied, "Mr. Lin, the situation is a little different from what you might expect. Mr. Xu is suspected of soliciting prostitution and was arrested."
"What?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "That's impossible. My mother-in-law is ill; my father-in-law isn't even involved with his company. He's been here the whole time, taking care of her. How could he possibly be soliciting prostitution?"
Solina said, "According to your country's saying, it might be a setup. The other party is demanding twenty million US dollars in compensation, or they will make a big fuss and sue Mr. Xu."
Lin Chen pondered.
"Why haven't they let my father-in-law make a call?"
Solina was silent for a moment before saying, "There's no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Black Shield Company, but there's also no evidence to prove that it definitely isn't."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
Black Shield Company might have had a hand in it.
If he hadn't contacted Solina, Yang Qingyue would likely have signed another security contract with Black Shield Company.
Three million dollars would have been gone once the contract was signed.
The subsequent investigation definitely won't involve the Black Shield Company.
"Mr. Lin, it's possible someone in your country is targeting Mr. Xu. Smearing him is just the beginning."
Lin Chen nodded, "Understood."
"Ms. Solina, can you get my father-in-law out? Clean and clear, without any charges."
Solina considered for a moment, "It should be possible, but it requires finding the right forces to act and smoothing things over with the police. It's not easy."
Lin Chen asked, "Is my favor enough?"
"Yes, it is. I'll use it to repay your favor. But are you sure you want to use it on Mr. Xu? The favor I owe you is quite valuable."
Solina said.
"Confirmed."
Lin Chen nodded.
The Dawson Family's assets were worth billions of US dollars, and their influence was considerable. The value of Solina's favor was indeed substantial.
But, he'd used the favor.
"Alright."
"Let's go to the police station directly."
Solina said.
An hour and a half later, Lin Chen and the others arrived at the police station.
Lin Chen saw Xu Guofeng.
He also saw the woman who was slandering Xu Guofeng.
This woman also had an oriental face.
"Here for reinforcements?"
"Without twenty million, you're not getting off easy. I'm telling you, I'm an American, protected by American law."
The woman said arrogantly.
Xu Guofeng smiled bitterly, "Lin Chen, I don't have anything to do with her."
Lin Chen nodded and looked at Solina.
Solina said in English, "You're backed by the Bloody Hand Gang. I've made a deal with them, and they've abandoned you."
"You have two choices now. First, confess your false accusations and spend a few years in prison. Second, you might just have to go to hell to repent."
The woman's face changed. How did Solina know she was backed by the Bloody Hand Gang?
Solina dialed a number.
After the call connected, she handed the phone to the woman.
"Do as she says."
"Or you will die," came a deep voice from the other end of the line.
The Dawson Family's strength is far greater than the Bloody Hand Gang's.
"I...I confess."
The woman's face fell.
The rest was simple; Xu Guofeng was released without charge.
Solina followed them out of the police station.
"Mr. Lin, we're even now."
Solina smiled slightly.
Just then, Lin Chen swiftly pushed Solina.
Bang!
A bullet whizzed through the air.
If Lin Chen hadn't pushed, Solina would have been taken out by the sniper.
"Gunman!"
"Quick, protect the young miss!"
Solina's bodyguards reacted swiftly.
Some of them fired shots in the direction of the gunman, while others immediately took Solina and hid behind the car.
Lin Chen and Xu Guofeng also ducked down to take cover.
The gunman didn't fire again.
After missing his shot, he immediately packed up and fled.
Once they were sure it was safe, Lin Chen and the others stood up.
Solina looked at the bullet hole left by the assassin. If Lin Chen hadn't pushed her, she would have been dead.
"Mr. Lin, I still owe you my life."
Solina said helplessly.
"You were only helping out when this happened. This doesn't count; you don't owe me anything."
Solina shook her head.
"It's not the Bloody Hand Gang, they wouldn't dare. It's probably some of my old enemies taking advantage of the situation."
"I still owe you a favor."
"I'll be going now, you two be careful."
Solina quickly left in her car.
Lin Chen asked Xu Guofeng, "Uncle Xu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Xu Guofeng shook his head.
Having seen the Xu family's development over the years, he was a man who had weathered many storms.
It's just that the enemies in the past weren't so shameless and direct.
"Uncle Xu, call Aunt Yang. I'll call Mengyao."
"They're still worried."
Lin Chen said.
Xu Guofeng nodded, "Don't mention what just happened."
"Okay."
Lin Chen quickly dialed Xu Mengyao's number, "Mengyao, it's okay. Uncle Xu is out of the police station."
Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief on her end.
"Honey, thank you."
Lin Chen had already told her that he had asked Solina for help.
"Mengyao, be careful."
Lin Chen cautioned.
Xu Mengyao: "Don't worry, honey, I'll be careful. The domestic security is also much better than abroad."
After a few more words, Lin Chen hung up the phone.
This wasn't a good place for them to be on the phone for too long.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen and the others arrived at the hospital.
Yang Qingyue's hanging heart finally completely relaxed.
"Wife, I didn't do anything like that."
Xu Guofeng said to Yang Qingyue.
Yang Qingyue said angrily, "You're in your forties, can't you be more careful? You even needed Lin Chen to use up a favor to help you."
"So many people have fallen because of women, you need to be more careful."
Xu Guofeng smiled wryly.
"I thought it was a compatriot who was in trouble, and I wanted to help."
"But—"
Lin Chen asked, "Uncle Xu, who do you think is behind this?"
It was the Bloody Hand Gang that carried out the deed.
But there was likely another force behind them.
It's hard to say if it's related to Black Shield Company, but within the country, there's definitely a force secretly playing tricks.
(P.S.: Brothers, it's mainly about daily life, a little pressure helps the protagonist grow~)
