Chapter 246

Licheng Shiji, the doorway of the seven‑building complex.

Seeing Qi Yao walk into Da Men, Lin Feng, who had waited a few minutes, stepped forward and took the plastic bag from her hand.

Qi Yao's cheeks were frozen red and puffy, giving off a charming air.

"If I had known you were going shopping, I would have driven to pick you up."

Lin Feng said.

Qi Yao lightly replied, "It's fine, I took a taxi over; it's actually more convenient."

"I want to get you a bigger place, change to a larger apartment, and not charge you rent—how does that sound?"

Lin Feng asked.

Qi Yao shook her head, "I'm used to living here; I don't want to move."

"Alright then!"

Lin Feng looked helpless.

With a House Guarding Divine Beast here, the entire building's apartments have all been rented out.

That Korean assistant's company seems to be doing well; they've rented twelve apartments for over half a year.

After going upstairs, Qi Yao first poured the red wine into a decanter.

Then she went into the kitchen and started pan‑frying the steak.

Lin Feng sat on the sofa and opened his phone.

When idle, he flips through his phone to check the news.

The phone's news page reads the user's location information and then pushes local or reader‑interesting news.

Lin Feng usually browses mostly international and domestic business‑related news.

After opening the browser, news appeared about Azure Peak Capital Limited establishing a technology industrial park.

Yanjing approved 500 mu of land in Fangshan for Azure Peak Capital.

The news also said that Azure Peak Capital plans to invest over 10 billion USD within five years to develop crystal cores and semiconductors.

10 billion USD!?

100 billion USD is roughly about right.

But even if it were exaggerated by one‑tenth, it would still astonish many people.

This is no small sum.

10 billion USD averages to 2 billion USD per year.

Azure Peak Capital really is loaded!

It's like Sun Wukong suddenly popping out of a stone crevice.

Not only did it acquire the Wu Group and several of its subsidiaries, but it also bought land in Yanjing to build skyscrapers.

Business magnates gathered and discussed this topic, discovering that Azure Peak Capital had never raised any funding!

Nor had it taken any bank loans.

Someone inquired with the higher-ups and received the reply that Azure Peak Capital is a domestically owned private enterprise.

Deeper details could not be uncovered.

Precisely because it is so mysterious, many magnates secretly stay wary, making sure not to cross Azure Peak Capital.

After a while they realized Azure Peak Capital had not encroached on their fields nor expanded aggressively, so they gradually relaxed.

Besides the news of Azure Peak Capital investing in building a semiconductor crystal core industrial park, the next item was the entrepreneurs' annual meeting.

After reading those two pieces of news, Lin Feng opened the international news to have a look.

Then he clicked on Yanjing's local news.

One news item appeared before Lin Feng's eyes.

In a certain district of Yanjing, a traffic accident occurred an hour ago.

A young woman walking on the pedestrian street was struck by a black Porsche and slammed into a wall, dying on the spot.

Lin Feng glanced at the picture and slightly furrowed his brow.

This car is the same model and color as the one he drives.

Moreover, the woman who was hit was wearing a white down jacket, the same as the one Qi Yao had on when she returned.

At that moment Lin Feng didn't think much of it.

But then he saw the dynamic footage posted above.

In Lin Feng's view, the car clearly had the intent to deliberately hit someone.

A car losing control would not be like this.

Especially after hitting the person, a man in the driver's cabin directly got out, his steps steady, showing no trace of nervousness or fear.

This is even more arrogant than Liu Erwa.

At this moment Qi Yao walked over, saw Lin Feng watching the news video, and glanced at it.

Then she said, "I also passed through that intersection tonight!"

Lin Feng stared, looking at Qi Yao with a strange expression.

He carefully examined Qi Yao's white down jacket.

It's not a high‑end brand, just a few hundred yuan.

This style of down jacket is flattering, showing off a woman's figure when worn, so it should sell well.

Could there be a possibility…?

"Yao Yao, when did you pass through that intersection?"

Lin Feng asked, frowning.

Qi Yao thought for a moment and said, "Around six-ish, maybe a little past six!"

Lin Feng looked again at the time of the car accident reported in the news: 6:04.

Seeing Lin Feng's expression change, Qi Yao, as a Forensic Doctor, also furrowed her brow and guessed something.

Lin Feng, however, suddenly turned off the news and said lightly, "It's fine! Probably just a coincidence, let's eat! I haven't had your steak in ages."

When eating together with a woman, Lin Feng dislikes dropping chopsticks or a fork the most.

I don't know why Shu Jingya and Liang Shishi have developed that bad habit.

The two finished their meal in silence.

Qi Yao didn't immediately get up to clear the dishes; instead, she looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Do you think that car accident was the driver intentionally hitting someone?"

Lin Feng knew he couldn't hide it from Qi Yao, nodded and said, "Yes, look at how the driver left without a hint of nervousness—does that seem like someone who just accidentally killed someone?"

Qi Yao nodded.

Then she didn't say anything else, got up, and began clearing the dishes.

Lin Feng's intuition is very keen.

Once doubt arises in his mind, he must get to the bottom of things.

However, it's already very late now; we'll talk about it tomorrow.

We'll sleep together tonight.

Qi Yao is very fond of cleanliness.

Lin Feng took a shower on his own..

Because he had things on his mind and was worried someone might be targeting Qi Yao, Lin Feng became very well-behaved.

This, however, made Qi Yao unable to sleep.

Because she knew Lin Feng had things on his mind.

Moreover, this matter definitely concerns her.

She also felt that this traffic accident was not simple, perhaps related to her.

Only after discovering that Lin Feng had fallen asleep did she close her eyes and slowly drift into sleep.

In the morning, upon waking, Lin Feng discovered again that Qi Yao was gone.

He left that haunted house as quickly as possible.

As soon as he stepped outside, he picked up his phone and called Qi Yao.

Qi Yao was already at work.

"Saturday! Aren't you not busy? Why are you working overtime?" Lin Feng asked.

Qi Yao said, "There was a case last night; I need to go to the scene for investigation today, and I'm about to leave."

After saying that, she hung up.

After returning home, Lin Feng used his laptop to search for last night's news.

The news reported that the driver who hit someone last night had turned himself in, admitted he had been drinking, and expressed willingness to compensate the victim's family……

Upon seeing the person who turned himself in, Lin Feng knew it wasn't the driver who had hit someone the previous night.

Who exactly is it?

Lin Feng wanted to investigate a person in Yanjing, which was still quite easy.

There was no need to send Yang Yi and the others out; he just called technician Zhao Xiaowei at the bureau.

After exchanging a few jokes, Zhao Xiaowei helped Lin Feng look up the information about last night's accident vehicle.

The vehicle's owner bore the surname Shen and was named Shen Yu.

Aside from the name, the photo on the driver's license, and the ID information, there was no other information.

At this point, Lin Feng could be absolutely certain that the person who drove the car and hit someone was this Shen Yu.

After hitting and killing someone, he left calmly.

Then, finding someone to take the blame in less than a night certainly indicates he is no ordinary person.

Lin Feng picked up his phone and called Bai Ying.

"Are those in training not available?"

Lin Feng asked.

"What, missing them?" Bai Ying said with a smile.

Lin Feng chuckled, "Have Xu Jing call me right away, thanks!"

Bai Ying hung up, and a few minutes later Lin Feng's phone rang.

"Instructor, hello!"

After Lin Feng answered, Xu Jing's loud voice came through.

Hearing that voice, Lin Feng could picture Xu Jing standing tall with chest out and legs together.

"Do you know a person named Shen Yu?"

Lin Feng asked.

"Reporting, Instructor, I don't know."

"Do your teammates know about this?"

"Reporting, Instructor, I can ask for you; please wait a moment."
