As time passed, half an hour was about to pass. Fang Yanwei was really panicking. He had just said that if Lian Juntai didn't come back within half an hour, he would take compulsory measures.

Through all these years of dealings, he certainly knew Lian Liwei's temper and personality. He was also worried that if he really took coercive measures and openly broke off relations with him, would that make Lian Liwei unhappy?

Lu Tingyun, this trick of yours is really insidious!

At this moment, Zhu Xin, who was standing next to him, suddenly walked away. Seeing that he was walking in a hurry, Fang Yanwei hurried to catch up.

"Secretary Zhu, where are you going in such a hurry? Did you make any new discoveries?"

"No, I just saw a restroom over there and I went there."

Is there a restroom over there?

It was just getting dark now and the lights in the courtyard hadn't been turned on yet, so the visibility was not very good.

"Secretary Zhu, you are mistaken. That is not the restroom."

"Isn't that a restroom over there?" After hearing this, Zhu Xin said directly, "Director Fang has a really good eye. He can tell from such a distance that it's not a restroom."

"..."

Ok?

Were you testing him on purpose just now?

Fang Yanwei quickly smiled to cover it up and explained, "It's not that my eyesight is good, it's that Secretary Zhu has been taking care of her sick mother and working hard lately, and she has had little rest. She is too tired and that's why she is dizzy."

"I see, that's just my eyes playing tricks on me."

Just as Zhu Xin finished saying this, a car drove towards them from outside the courtyard. The two headlights of the car just happened to sweep over the place that Zhu Xin just said was the bathroom, and the light shone on the two words: warehouse.

Fang Yanwei quickly retracted his gaze. He had been here before. When he wanted to leave, he couldn't go through the main entrance. He always passed by the warehouse and then went out through the back door, so he knew it so clearly.

Seeing Lian Juntai coming back, Fang Yanwei quickly withdrew his thoughts and walked out of the courtyard. Zhu Xin also walked out with him.

The car stopped right in the middle of the courtyard. After the car stopped, the driver got out and respectfully opened the door for Lian Juntai, and then Lian Juntai got out of the car.

"Second Young Master, this is Director Fang and Secretary Zhu from the provincial department. They have been waiting for you here for a long time." Seeing him come back, the servant hurriedly explained.

"Director Fang, Secretary Zhu?" Lian Juntai looked at them one by one, lingering on one of them for half a second longer, and then retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened.

"Wait for me? Isn't it too much of a hassle to ask the two leaders to wait for me? What do the two leaders want from me?"

"Because your eldest brother has not been arrested, and it's the end of the year, the leaders are pressing us hard, and we have to hurry up to investigate the criminals who have not yet been arrested, so we came to search your Lian family. We have searched all other places, except for the study room, which has a double combination lock. Mr. Lian said that no one can open that study room except you."

"Just for this?" Lian Juntai said apologetically, "For such a small matter, you two leaders have been waiting for me for so long? It's really a sin. My dad is really something. He didn't even call me. If I knew you two leaders were waiting for me here, I would have come back earlier. Are you going to the study? Then please follow me, two leaders."

Lian Juntai agreed readily and took them inside. When he saw Lian Liwei, he addressed him respectfully, "Dad."

"Take them both up."

"Yes." Lian Juntai still said to them politely, "Please come in, leaders."

Fang Yanwei and Lian Liwei have been in cahoots for so many years, but this is the first time he has met Lian Juntai. He is completely different from what he had imagined, and his personality is also very different from that of Lian Liwei and Lian Juncheng.

Lian Juntai took the two of them to the outside of the study and verified their fingerprints and facial recognition. The two verifications were almost simultaneous, and any difference of a few seconds would have resulted in failure.

"Second Young Master Lian, this is just a study, not the treasury of your Lian family. Is it necessary to make it so complicated?" This was purely Fang Yanwei's personal doubt.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Director Fang. It's just a matter of personal preference and habit. I've loved reading since I was a child, and I have severe mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Before I put on the password lock, there were always people entering my study, which made me very uncomfortable, so..."

When Lian Juntai said this, the servant came over with two pairs of disposable shoe covers and gloves. Lian Juntai continued, "Please excuse me, leaders, to put them on. I really don't like others entering my room, especially the study. If it's not for the sake of cooperating with the leaders, I will definitely not open this door."

Fang Yanwei and Zhu Xin felt uncomfortable after hearing this. According to him, he was giving them a lot of face. Would they still need to do a thorough disinfection after they left?

"Mr. Lian is really a very particular person."

After Fang Yanwei finished speaking, he and Zhu Xin cooperated by putting on shoe covers, gloves, and followed Lian Juntai in.

It's a completely different world once you enter. You thought it was just an ordinary study, but it's so big and designed very attentively. You have a strong sense of being in a bookstore. You even feel that the books in ordinary bookstores don't have as many as in his study.

"Mr. Lian really loves reading. Has Mr. Lian read so many books?"

"I have read it, and I will write a review to prove that I have read it."

Fang Yanwei was really surprised to hear this. With the current popularity of the electronic industry, many readers have started reading e-books or listening to books directly. However, there are still young people reading physical books in the study room, and they even write essays after reading.

"Mr. Lian is really amazing."

"My elder brother is wanted and his whereabouts are unknown. I am just a scholar who had to take over the company under pressure. How can I be as good as you policemen?"

"Mr. Lian is too modest."

"Although my study is large, every corner is clearly visible. There is definitely no place for people to hide. The two leaders can look around, but please do not touch the things here, especially the books on my bookshelf."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Lian Juntai took a book from the study, sat on the sofa and started reading as if no one was around. He let them go in to look for someone and did not follow them. He seemed to be more calm than Lian Liwei. His attitude seemed to say, no matter how much you look, you won't find anything.

Fang Yanwei and Zhu Xin walked in, and when they reached the corner, they turned back to look at Lian Juntai, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book very attentively.

"According to Secretary Zhu, he made this study so mysterious. Could there be a secret room or something like that?"

"I don't know."

After hearing this answer, Fang Yanwei was too lazy to speak. Zhu Xin was so smart before, but now he pretended to be ignorant in front of him.

Zhu Xin ignored Fang Yanwei and continued walking forward. In a very central location, he saw a special area for being cautious in what he said and did. All his books were there, and they were particularly eye-catching.
