The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress - Chapter 312
Chapter 312: Cold and Ruthless Young Master Mao 120, Director Chen Splits Open (Second Update)_1
It means she’s going too.
Red light.
Inspector Chen stopped the car and looked into the rearview mirror, “Miss Bai, Ming…”
“Xiaoming?” Bai Lian casually lifted her eyes and sincerely asked Inspector Chen, “Do you think I need Xiaoming’s protection?”
Inspector Chen silently pressed on the gas pedal.
And took Bai Lian to the bar on Backter Street.
Nearing eight o’clock.
The bar lights were dim, spotlights indiscriminately swept across, and the smell of smoke and alcohol mixed with the cold air hit you in the face as you entered. There were several stages in the center of the hall, with men and women mingled together, dancing.
Inspector Chen was familiar with this scene, but because it was a bar on Backter Street, he was tense.
“Miss Bai, please stay close…”
Turning around, Bai Lian was lazily stuffing earphones in her ears and learning new words, looking much more relaxed than him.
Inspector Chen: “…”
Miss Bai is truly otherworldly.
This time he didn’t say a word and directly led Bai Lian to a luxurious private room on the second floor.
The door was half open.
At this moment, the private room was already filled with many people, from both domestic and international circles, dimly lit. The lights at the small bar flickered as many people had already started mingling with their drinks in hands.
“Inspector Chen, you’ve finally arrived,” Manager Yan, finding his pillar of strength, came out from a corner upon seeing Inspector Chen.
Then he curiously looked at Bai Lian.
He remembered that when Inspector Chen came in, he had pushed open the door on the other side for Bai Lian.
Chen Jingyu and Yu Hongyi were holding wine glasses, standing together and conversing with a not-so-tall middle-aged man.
They weren’t speaking Mandarin.
Bai Lian glanced at the middle-aged man.
Her gaze caught Chen Jingyu’s attention. He was about to turn around to see who was looking this way when he caught a glimpse of Bai Lian following Inspector Chen.
Chen Jingyu was taken aback for a moment before his eyebrows twisted. He smiled and had a drink with the middle-aged man before walking towards Inspector Chen…
“Why did you bring her here?” Chen Jingyu glanced at Bai Lian and frowned.
Inspector Chen only instructed Manager Yan, “You take Miss Bai to sit down for a bit.”
Manager Yan immediately took Bai Lian aside.
Once they’d left, Inspector Chen looked at Chen Jingyu. Because of what happened yesterday, he and Chen Jingyu, along with Yu Hongyi, were clearly divided, “It was on the way.”
He didn’t elaborate.
“Don’t you know that today is the day Mr. Mao is coming? Yu’s martial arts brother is here too. You know that Yu’s brother is well-acquainted with the higher-ups of the bar…”
Inspector Chen indifferently said, “Don’t worry, today we’ll each rely on our own skills. We won’t intervene with you and Miss Yu’s matters.”
This was unexpected for Chen Jingyu.
Indeed, Yu Hongyi had come because there was no progress in the cooperative case that Chen Yongkun was handling here, but Chen Yongkun had surprisingly given up using Yu Hongyi as a conduit and instead turned to ingratiate himself with a Miss Bai.
“Really?” Chen Jingyu felt a secret glee.
Yu Hongyi’s brother was acquainted with the people here, and Chen Jingyu too, had gained a lot from it. He knew Yu Hongyi wanted to attract Inspector Chen and Ming Dongheng, and he felt a sense of crisis.
He hadn’t expected that after Ming Dongheng, Inspector Chen would also unexpectedly distance himself from the Yu Family.
“Of course.” As long as the cooperation benefitted the Chen Family, Inspector Chen had no desire to compete for credit. After all, they were doing it for the Chen Family, and should Chen Jingyu and Yu Hongyi manage to strike a deal, he would be pleased for them as well.
But Inspector Chen had no intention of boarding Yu Hongyi’s ship.
Bai Lian was one reason.
The excessive arrogance of the Yu family members was another reason.
Chen Jingyu returned to Yu Hongyi’s side, surprised and somewhat delighted.
Yu Hongyi, holding a wine glass, looked in Inspector Chen’s direction and lightly skimmed her gaze past Bai Lian.

“Miss Bai, that person talking with Chen Jingyu is Mr. Nagano,” Inspector Chen whispered to Bai Lian, “I heard he’s Yu Hongyi’s martial arts brother, trained in ninjutsu, from Dongwu, and his family has significant international influence. It’s surprising how closely Yu Hongyi is connected with them.”
No wonder everyone is so desperate to go to Dongwu. Each person who is able to go not only has strong personal abilities but also has a powerful backing not to be underestimated.
Now Inspector Chen was somewhat understanding why Yu Hongyi dared to be so arrogant.
To have climbed from a virtually unknown family to her current position, she indeed had some capabilities.
Bai Lian was sitting on the sofa, dressed in loose, white training clothes, tapping on her phone’s screen intermittently, and upon hearing this, she simply narrowed her eyes with a devilishly intense gleam, “Mr. Nagano… a Japanese pirate?”
The last two words carried a faint killing intent.
It was probably the first time the word “Japanese pirate” was heard from someone’s lips.
Inspector Chen was stunned and it took him a while to respond, “Yes… yes, that’s right.”
Mr. Nagano was from R Country.
“Oh.” Bai Lian snorted coldly.
She withdrew her gaze and picked up a glass of low-alcohol content drink from the small bar.
