Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 346: Chapter 343 Chapter 346: Chapter 343 Shen Lin exchanged a few more words with Lu Xiao’s father and mother, then he was ready to leave.

Lu Xiao went to see him off, the two of them smoking and talking while they walked to the parked cars by the roadside.

Shen Lin blew out a ring of smoke and narrowed his eyes, seriously saying:
“Leave this matter to me, I’ll help you look into this person’s information. I’m quite familiar with the business circles in Beijing, and I’ll give you a call immediately if I find any clues.”

With the cigarette between his fingers, Lu Xiao took out his phone, preparing to send something over:
“This is the information for this account. A transfer of five hundred thousand in one go will still raise eyebrows, and it’s very likely that someone else’s identity was used.”

Yes.

The matter he was now discussing with Shen Lin was indeed about that person with the surname Wu.

For all the illegal crimes he had committed, there must have been financial transactions involved, and since his bank accounts were frozen, they had indeed found suspicious large transfers on his sister’s account.

And these transfers came from a small catering company in Beijing.

Clearly, there was something fishy to investigate.

The person he really wanted to get to the bottom of was the one pulling all the strings behind the scenes, the one behind the man with the surname Wu.

That person might think he was in the light while hiding in the shadows.

But the truth might not be so.

In others’ eyes, he was just an ordinary rescue team captain, without money or power, whose reach couldn’t extend far.

But in reality, he would spare no effort to uproot his foe completely, forever eliminating the threat.

Shen Lin got into his car, and as he started the engine, he rolled down the window, his lips curving into a light smile as he teased:
“You should head back, don’t keep your sister-in-law waiting and anxious. You should also give some serious thought to your own big decision. See when you can come back from the West, and don’t let her be lonely at home after the wedding.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao gave him a flat glance, “You better mind your own business, you don’t even have a potential marriage partner.”

Shen Lin: “…”

The Hummer roared, seeming to vent its strong displeasure.

Shen Lin shook his head in self-mockery and retracted his gaze, raising the car window.

He really didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

In the past, he might not have wanted to, thinking he hadn’t had enough fun. But now as he was approaching thirty and seeing how harmonious Lu Xiao’s family was, he couldn’t help but feel envious.

But such things were easier said than found.

Could it be that he should marry just for the sake of it, only to end up in a chaotic mess, like his parents who divorced when he was just in his teens?

Thinking of these things, he suddenly lost interest in marriage again.

…

The night.

The entire courtyard was silent save for the nightlights, engulfed in darkness.

Only the cold starlight fell, casting a layer of silver glow.

Inside the eastern chamber.

The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

Having finished washing up, Wen Xian sat by the bed’s edge, the sound making her unusually distracted.

As soon as the shower stopped, she subconsciously tugged at her collar, making it wider.

She was wearing a T-shirt from Lu Xiao’s wardrobe. Being one meter eighty-eight, his clothes were very big for her.

They completely covered her upper thighs.

In her hand was a book from his bookshelf, which she pretended to read intently.
