The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Chapter 1594 - 1899: Intermediary Operator

"Alright then," Ling Chen said helplessly. "There’s no other way right now."

The call ended, and Ling Chen sighed to himself. He had thought he could handle everything smoothly, but who knew things would turn out like this. A coincidence... Could it really be just a coincidence?

The next day.

Ling Chen accompanied Nanrong Wanqing as they flew directly back to East Sea City. Apart from Nanrong Wanqing’s security detail and her secretary, there was another passenger on the plane, Ling Gengqiu.

Initially, Ling Chen hadn’t planned to bring Ling Gengqiu along, but upon learning he was headed back to East Sea City, Ling Gengqiu insisted on tagging along. Left with no choice, Ling Chen brought him along.

After two hours of flight, the plane slowly landed at East Sea International Airport.

Upon exiting the airport, Hongyu Group’s private car was already waiting by the roadside. As Ling Chen was about to board the vehicle with his luggage, he heard a series of honks from behind. Turning around, he saw a Range Rover slowly driving up, stopping behind them.

Seeing the stunning beauty inside the car, Ling Chen hesitated slightly, walked over, and asked, "Kaelina, what brings you here?"

"He insisted I drive him here," Kaelina pointed to the back seat, and Ling Chen glanced over to find Hu Fei sitting inside, wearing sunglasses.

This guy... What’s he up to? Couldn’t he just speak over the phone?

"Wait here," Ling Chen said before returning to Nanrong Wanqing’s side, greeting her and asking Ling Gengqiu to keep an eye on Qiang, ensuring Nanrong Wanqing’s safety.

After watching the convoy leave, Ling Chen opened the Range Rover’s door, sat beside Hu Fei, and snatched the sunglasses off his face, annoyed, "Who are you trying to impress with this act?"

Hu Fei chuckled awkwardly, "It’s for identity concealment."

"Cut the crap, no one’s giving you trouble. Is it really necessary?" Just as Ling Chen finished speaking, Kaelina interjected from the driver’s seat, "Things have been a bit unusual these days; it seems someone’s been probing his identity."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen was surprised. If experienced assassin Kaelina is saying this, it must be true.

"Fatty, be honest, have you offended someone?"

With a bitter face, Hu Fei said, "Who could I possibly offend? Being in this mess is all because of you."

"Me?" Ling Chen asked confused, "What’s it got to do with me?"

"See for yourself!" Hu Fei handed a prepared newspaper to Ling Chen, "Take a look."

Ling Chen took the newspaper, his gaze immediately drawn to the headline.

"Depressed Man Jumps to Suicide!"

Staring at the prominent title, Ling Chen carefully read through the content.

"Is this yesterday’s paper?"

Hu Fei nodded and said, "When we were in Beijing, didn’t you ask me to find the person behind that assassin brokerage website? It’s him."

"You mean..." Ling Chen’s heart skipped a beat, immediately understanding Hu Fei’s implication, "By the time you found him, he was already dead?"

"Exactly! I used to be an assassin broker, and Kaelina is a top-tier assassin. Both of us tapped into some old connections and finally tracked down the operator of that brokerage website only to find that he lived in East Sea City. A few days ago, Kaelina and I confirmed his residence and planned to meet him. But when we arrived at his doorstep, nobody answered the door. Thinking he wasn’t home, we decided to return another day. Just as we got downstairs, we saw him fall from above, instantly dying from the impact. According to police investigations, he jumped off his own balcony to commit suicide. But I don’t believe the police verdict."

Hu Fei continued, "A guy like him would never easily commit suicide. Plus, when we visited his house, there wasn’t the slightest sound inside. Later, we checked the community’s security footage and found all cameras malfunctioned the previous day, which clearly isn’t a coincidence. So we concluded someone got to him first and staged the scene as a suicide."

"Who did it?"

"I don’t know, but these days, whenever Kaelina and I go outside, I feel like someone’s tailing us. I’m beginning to suspect we might have been targeted just because we visited his house."

With Hu Fei’s words, Ling Chen couldn’t help but glance out of the car window to see if anyone was following.

"No need to look; I’ve already checked while coming out, and there’s no tail," Kaelina said.

"Have you gone back to check his place?"

"The police have sealed the crime scene; we can’t get in. Hey! Officer Xia may have been transferred to Beijing, but she still has connections in East Sea City. How about you call her and ask for help?"

"Alright." Ling Chen nodded, took out his phone, and dialed Xia Mutong’s number.

After hanging up, Ling Chen said, "Officer Xia will contact the precinct; since we have some time, let’s go check it out. Maybe we’ll find some clues."

Kaelina acknowledged, and immediately drove towards their destination.

After over half an hour’s drive, the trio finally arrived at the residential complex where their target lived. Taking the elevator to the seventeenth floor, Hu Fei led Ling Chen down a corridor to the man’s residence.

At this moment, there were still seals on the door. Kaelina took a thin wire from her pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and soon, the lock was opened.

As they entered, Ling Chen looked around and found the house neat and spotless, very clean. The owner of this place must have been very diligent.

"Fatty, have you checked his background?"

"I have. His name is Liang Guang, thirty-six years old, unemployed, orphaned young, grew up in an orphanage, with no relatives or friends around. I also checked his bank account, three days ago there was a five million overseas transaction transferred to his account."

"Five million?" Ling Chen looked at Hu Fei and said, "You used to be an assassin broker, is it really that lucrative to run a brokerage website?"

Hu Fei shook his head, "People like them mainly make money by taking commission cuts; even with excellent business, they might earn just a million annually. Five million in one go? I’ve never encountered such occurrences."

"So, the five million isn’t from running the website but additional income. Aside from operating the assassin brokerage website, does he have any other businesses?"

"No, this guy typically stayed home, rarely going out."

"How do you know?"

"I checked his bills; every day, several deliveries would arrive at his house. These days, I’ve been pondering if it’s due to that suddenly appearing glitch that Liang Guang’s account received five million."

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s heart skipped, asking, "Are you saying... the five million was hush money given to him?"
