Chapter 421: Worry-free Residence Was Reported

When Chen Yang woke Yexin up in Shen Anna's villa, he noticed her complexion was not good, as if she hadn't slept all night.

"Exin Sis, you're up late trading US stocks again?"

Yexin said unhappily: "What US stocks. Last night, Worry-free Residence was raided by the Xingcheng police, who said someone reported us for illegal gambling."

"Didn't they find any problems?" Chen Yang exclaimed upon hearing this, very surprised. He never thought anyone would investigate Worry-free Residence. You should know, Yexin is only the surface agent of Worry-free Residence; behind it lies an even stronger presence.

The transaction records at Worry-free Residence are confidential, and the on-site surveillance footage is cleared immediately. They definitely won't find any problems. The key is…" Yexin sighed and said: "Those two bastards, Huang Bai Ming and Zhao Fei Yang, were secretly taken away by the police while they were messing around at Heaven and Earth. I sent people to inquire, but so far there's no news. I hope these guys can keep their mouths shut and not get me into trouble."

Chen Yang asked Yexin: "Did you transfer all the money they won?"

Yexin shook her head: "No. This time only Huang Bai Ming, Zhao Fei Yang, and Qi Yunxiang won money. They're all interested in US stocks and wanted me to deposit the funds into their overseas accounts. I hadn't prepared yet, and then this happened."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there's no transfer record, even if Huang Bai Ming and Zhao Fei Yang confess, the police can't do anything about Worry-free Residence.

However, he still didn't quite understand. "Exin Sis, the Xingcheng police are taking action here—didn't you get any advance notice?"

Yexin snorted coldly: "Old Master Chen used to be on bad terms with my dad. For him not to show up and cause trouble would already be good—how could he possibly leak information?"

After saying that, she turned to Chen Yang and said: "You're so close with Chen Bing—didn't he inform you?"

Chen Yang shook his head.

Yexin immediately said: "Then give him a call and ask. I also want to know what medicine Old Master Chen is selling in his gourd."

Although Chen Yang didn't gamble this time, he was also present at the scene. Since the police have already taken away Huang Bai Ming and Zhao Fei Yang, they will surely come for him sooner or later.

So he dialed Chen Bing's number.

"Bing Bro, were your people the ones handling the case at Worry-free Residence last night?"

"No, that place is deep waters; the old master doesn't let us intervene."

"I have two friends who were taken away by your people while they were playing at Heaven and Earth. Do you know about this?"

"I'm not sure. Are they involved in the case?"

"There's no payment record, no receipt record—at most they just had a craving."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain!"

"You didn't participate, right?"

"No!"

"Then that's good. I'll go help you look into it."

After Chen Bing's call ended, Chen Yang curiously asked Yexin: "With such a big organization, how could you have no precautions at all?"

Yexin didn't answer, but instead asked Chen Yang: "What do you think—who is more likely to have reported us, Zhou Zhixin or Wu Junhui?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said: "Zhou Zhixin only lost ten million. Given his wealth, he shouldn't be unable to afford such a small loss. Wu Junhui has a personal grudge against me, so logically he's the most likely to report. But I didn't participate in the betting. Even if he reports, it wouldn't affect me. What would be the point of his report then?"

Yexin frowned slightly and said: "Besides Zhou Zhixin and Wu Junhui, everyone else who went that night were regulars at the club. If they aren't the reporters, could it be Lan Qiyun?"

Chen Yang gave her a direct look. "What reason would that girl have to report you? Are you lacking her food or her supplies?"

Yexin snorted coldly: "Then it can only be Zhou Zhixin and Wu Junhui."

Chen Yang said: "Many people lost money yesterday. When someone loses control of their mindset, they're very likely to act irrationally! Maybe it was that unbalanced person who reported us."

Yexin shook her head: "Impossible. Everyone knows the consequences of offending Worry-free Residence. So the reporter must have an official background, and a strong one at that."

Chen Yang immediately understood Yexin's meaning. "You mean this person is Zhou Zhixin?"

Yexin nodded firmly: "Even if Zhou Zhixin isn't the reporter, he's very likely the mastermind behind it."

Chen Yang looked at Yexin doubtfully: "Why would Zhou Zhixin do this? What's in it for him?"

Yexin didn't answer; instead, she leaned back against the sofa, closed her eyes, and said softly: "We'll just have to let Zhou Zhixin tell us."

Chen Yang didn't quite grasp Yexin's meaning. Could it be that Zhou Zhixin will proactively contact Yexin to resolve this issue?

Just as he was about to ask again, he noticed Yexin had fallen asleep, with faint snoring coming from her nostrils.

Chen Yang took a blanket from Yexin's bedroom and covered her with it, then called Shen Anna. After confirming she hadn't been questioned by the police, he drove straight to the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company.

Around ten o'clock, Chen Bing's call came in.

"Chen Yang, your two friends are fine now. The police found no evidence of their illegal betting. However, this matter probably isn't over yet. Everyone present that day will likely be questioned. You need to be mentally prepared."

Chen Yang asked Chen Bing: "Bing Bro, can you find out who reported us?"

Chen Bing advised Chen Yang: "Brother, this matter involves complicated issues; you'd better not get involved. I reckon Yexin's side probably already has the answer."

Only then did Chen Yang understand why Yexin could sleep soundly. It's likely they already found evidence that Zhou Zhixin was up to mischief.

Not long after Chen Bing's call ended, two uniformed officers from the Xingcheng Public Security Bureau arrived at the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company. They merely asked Chen Yang and Shen Anna a few questions before leaving.

"Boss, Yexin won't have any trouble, will she?"

"No way!"

Although Chen Yang didn't know how powerful the forces behind Yexin were, as a Reborn Person he knew some future changes in Dongjiangsheng's officialdom.

In his memory, there was no major incident involving Yexin. On the contrary, Zhou Zhixin, Zhou Zhixiang, and the figure behind them eventually fell.

At this time, Zhou Zhixin reporting Worry-free Residence certainly means the forces behind him want to challenge the forces behind Yexin.

When immortals fight, little ghosts suffer. That's also why Chen Bing doesn't let Chen Yang get involved in this matter.

However, Yexin now needs to deal with Zhou Zhixin, so the investment matter in Xin'an City will likely have to be put on hold.

Considering the promised time with Chu Linlang is one week away, Chen Yang decided to wait a few days in Xingcheng first.

If Yexin can quickly resolve the issue, then we'll go together to Xin'an City to discuss investment.

If it can't be resolved, then he can only go alone to Xin'an County.
