Zhou Muchi tiptoed into the office and saw Lu Yan sleeping on the table. He put the food aside and quietly sat on the chair next to him.

He stared at Lu Yan's sleeping face, and couldn't help but feel distressed and helpless. He knew that Lu Yan had been trying hard to find clues and had put in a lot of effort.

Zhou Muchi reached out and gently stroked Lu Yan's hair, and said softly, "You've worked hard, take a good rest."

Zhou Muchi couldn't help but move closer to Lu Yan, carefully playing with his hair with his fingers, and watching Lu Yan sleeping.

Even if he was just watching quietly like this, he felt very satisfied. He didn't need to do anything extra. Just watching, Zhou Muchi's heart was almost full.

Zhou Muchi had to admit that Lu Yanguang sleeping like this, motionless, was attractive enough.

At this moment, Lu Yan's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

Zhou Muchi quickly picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hey?"

"Is that Lu Yan? I'm Lin Yizhou..." Lin Yizhou's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Muchi recalled that he had met Lin Yizhou not long ago. "I am Zhou Muchi."

Lu Yan was still asleep, so Zhou Muchi took his cell phone out and pointed it at Zheng Yun, suggesting that he track the call.

Zheng Yun nodded directly.

"Captain Zhou."

"Where are you?" Zhou Muchi asked as soon as he came up, without any sign of avoiding the question.

Lin Yizhou chuckled and said, "Guess?"

"Captain Zhou, let's not waste any more time talking. You don't have to ask anyone to reserve my seat, because I'm leaving as soon as I hang up the phone."

"That rich man is my gift to you." Lin Yizhou moved over there, and there was a sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

"Look carefully." Lin Yizhou's voice came from the other end of the phone with a faint smile, but it was hard to tell what he was really thinking.

He paused, then continued: "And the most important thing is to tell Lu Yan that we will meet again. I am looking forward to it."

The other party was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and then slowly replied: "Unfortunately, the person who answered the phone was not Lu Yan."

After saying this, the other party did not wait for Lin Yizhou's response, but hung up the phone directly. There was only a busy tone on the phone, as if the conversation just now was just a moment.

Zhou Muchi frowned. The other party's tone revealed the unusual relationship between him and Lu Yan, which made him feel a little jealous.

He could also see that Lu Yan treated Lin Yizhou differently. Lu Yan had been investigating hard to prove that Lin Yizhou had nothing to do with this matter.

Zhou Muchi put away his phone, feeling somewhat mixed emotions.

He returned to the office and saw that Lu Yan had woken up and was looking at him with a puzzled look.

"Who's calling?" Lu Yan asked.

"Lin Yizhou." Zhou Muchi answered truthfully.

"What did he say?" Lu Yan immediately sat up straight, with a flash of anxiety in his eyes. "Did you find him?"

Zhou Muchi relayed Lin Yizhou's words to Lu Yan, and Lu Yan's expression became solemn.

"He said the rich man was a gift from him...what's going on?" Lu Yan muttered to himself.

"It seems we have to investigate this rich man again to find out what he is hiding." Zhou Muchi patted Lu Yan's shoulder. "But what did he mean by his last sentence? Why did he say 'It's a pity that you weren't the one who answered the phone'?"

Lu Yan lowered his head in thought and did not answer.

It was not difficult to see that he had some guesses in his mind, but he just didn't want to care about them. What he cared more about at the moment was Lin Yizhou's whereabouts.

"No matter what, we have to find him." Lu Yan said, standing up, "Maybe he knows more of the truth."

"Captain Zhou, please ask someone to check it out. I'm a little tired." Lu Yan said weakly. He leaned against the door, his body slightly tilted, and his eyes appeared very tired and lifeless.

Zhou Muchi looked at Lu Yan and couldn't help but feel worried. He knew that Lu Yan had been through a lot, but he didn't know how to ask him, for fear of touching his sensitive nerves. So, he decided not to ask any more questions for the time being and let Lu Yan have a good rest.

Zhou Muchi nodded and said softly, "Okay, then you take a rest first. If you need any help or have any ideas, you can tell me at any time." After that, he turned and left the room, leaving Lu Yan alone leaning against the door.

Since Lin Yizhou said so, the information of the rich businessman can be obtained without any further investigation.

It's just that Lu Yan felt a little depressed and felt that he was useless.

Lu Yan's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were trembling slightly, as if he had lost his vitality.

His eyes revealed a deep helplessness and confusion, which made people feel pity. At this moment, he was like a flower that was about to wither, lifeless.

Zhou Muchi became even more worried when he saw that Lu Yan didn't seem to want to pay attention to him.

So I didn't say anything.

The rich businessman's information was quickly obtained. Lin Yizhou provided more detailed information. This rich businessman was a famous philanthropist and the charity he organized raised a lot of funds.

However, the money was not used to help the people, but was embezzled by the wealthy businessman, who even engaged in human trafficking.

Zhou Muchi looked at the information in his hand with a frown on his face. He handed the information to Lu Yan and said seriously, "It seems that this case is more complicated than we thought."

Lu Yan's eyes were filled with anger. "Since the evidence is conclusive, let's arrest him first and then interrogate him carefully."

"It's a pity that Lin Yizhou is missing now, otherwise I would really like to ask him what he is thinking and what he wants to do." Zhou Muchi said worriedly.

Zhou Muchi said, "It's really unpleasant to be led by the nose."

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, let's arrest him first."

Zhou Muchi nodded, "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to bring him back."

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Zhou Muchi, do you think I am too useless?"

"Ever since I met Lin Yizhou, I haven't played any role. Everything I could find was given by the other party." Lu Yan said weakly.

"I just hope this matter can be over quickly." Zhou Muchi sat down next to Lu Yan. "We'll have a good rest after it's over."

"When I first met you, I felt that you were particularly unreliable." Zhou Muchi recalled the time when he first met Lu Yan. "I even felt that someone like you would never be my friend or partner."

"I've always thought that your temper and personality are very unpleasant."

"But it is undeniable that I was gradually attracted to you, and to your smile after every success."

Lu Yan looked at him blankly, as if he didn't expect Zhou Muchi to say such words.
