Chapter 1096: Fish Takes the Bait

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

I dont know. But what I do know is that the two bodyguards standing beside us are incredibly strong. If they really wanted to do something to Yiling, I dont think we would be able to wait for Brother Yiheng to arrive.

Upon hearing Jian Yujies words, Jian Yichen looked at the two strong bodyguards standing beside them.

To his surprise, the two bodyguards bowed at him.

Was this because of Yiling?

After waiting outside the door for forty or so minutes, the door opened and Jian Yiling walked out.

Everyone in the meeting room watched Jian Yiling leave.

The image was inexplicably strange to see.

Yiling, what did you say to them? Why do they seem to respect you so much? Jian Yichen asked after they left the Goodman Residence. He was filled with curiosity.

Upon being asked this question, Jian Yiling briefly explained the matter of the compa.s.s to Jian Yichen and Jian Yujie.

After all, this was related to Grandma Jian. And thus, Jian Yiling had no plans to hide this matter from them.

After she finished explaining to Jian Yichen and Jian Yujie, Jian Yiling received a text message.

Jian Yiling did not expect to read the contents of the text message.

[Do you want to know how Zhai Bochen died? If you want the answer, give me the Goodman family compa.s.s.]

Zhai Bochen was Zhai Yunshengs father.

When Jian Yujie noticed that his sister was staring at her phone in a daze, he worriedly asked: Yiling, whats wrong?

Nothing, Jian Yiling replied as she put her phone away.

Nothing out of the ordinary could be seen on her calm face.

Jian Yichen frowned when he heard this response: Yiling, please tell us whats going on okay? You made a promise that you wouldnt carry burdens by yourself. You can believe in us.

Jian Yiling paused when she heard those words. After a few moments of hesitation, she handed her phone to Jian Yichen.

When Jian Yichen and Jian Yujie read the message, a surprised look appeared on their faces.

Both of them knew who Zhai Bochen was.

Who sent the message? And why do they know about this matter? And why do they want the Goodman family compa.s.s? Jian Yichen asked as he began to ponder about the ident.i.ty of the other person.

After all, not many people knew about the Goodman family compa.s.s

Did this mean that it was someone in the Goodman family?

But if that was the case

Jian Yiling did not say anything. Instead, she took back her phone and sent a message to Superintendent Ruan.

[The fish has taken the bait.]

[Thank goodness for that. Your two years of hard work have finally come to fruition. Although you broke your promise, your trip here was not in vain.]

For three years, Jian Yiling had kept her promise with Zhai Yunsheng and refused to set foot in Beijing.

However, a few months ago, she ended up breaking her promise. Using the excuse of being an exchange student, she came to Beijing to return the favor he did for her back then.

Jian Yiling: [Prepare to close the net.]

Superintendent Ruan: [Give us a bit of time to prepare. We will make sure that everything is perfect.]

Jian Yiling: [Thank you.]

Superintendent Ruan: [You shouldnt be thanking us. We were working on this case together.]

Zhai Yunshengs fathers death was one of the only unresolved cases since the establishment of the team.

Jian Yiling joined them to help investigate this unresolved case.

Therefore, there was no reason for Jian Yiling to thank them.

Yiling, what does this message mean? Jian Yichen asked.

Jian Yiling sent the message in front of Jian Yujie and Jian Yichen.. She did not hide her phone from them.
