Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1318: Boss Chen Busy with Important Matters

”I...”

”You are indeed very skillful, but today someone else also reported you. As for who it was, I won’t say.”

Director Wei stood up and walked out.

Inside his office, a man was anxiously waiting for him.

Seeing him enter, the man stood up and asked, ”Director Wei, Yi Qiu...”

”Old Qiu, your report was valuable,” Director Wei said only that.

This man was none other than Professor Qiu, who was supposed to take Ye Xiaoning and the others to Shier Bridge for a sketching trip.

Hearing Director Wei’s words, Professor Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. ”That’s good, that’s good. I was afraid I wrongly accused someone.”

”It wasn’t a wrongful accusation. Go back now, and keep this matter secret. Don’t tell anyone, especially Teacher Zhang.”

”I understand, I understand,” Professor Qiu hurriedly said.

Actually, it was because after Chiang Xiao and the others had left, Teacher Zhang got drunk that night and let slip a few words about having two authentic works from Tang and Song Dynasties at his home, which he had mentioned to Yi Qiu. Then Yi Qiu told him that she had a few artist friends overseas who might be interested in these paintings and willing to pay a high price for them. If there was a chance, he should go abroad and have a good interaction with those friends, so that was when he felt something wasn’t right.

Luckily, he and Director Wei also had a bit of a friendship, so he immediately came back and sought out Director Wei.

Chen Yin had no idea what had happened, but it didn’t take long for him to think of the irregularities.

After all, the coincidences involving Xie Gongxun were too much.

The coincidence of Chen Qi’s photos was too much.

So many coincidences, even Chiang Xiao could see through them, and if he just calmed down and reconsidered carefully, he could too.

The more he reminisced, the more he realized how inexplicably close he had gotten to Yi Qiu recently.

He too broke out in a cold sweat.

He had also heard of Director Wei’s name.

What kind of criminals Director Wei handled, he naturally knew.

When Yi Qiu was detained and there was no news the next day, he knew there must be evidence. Director Wei was decisive and skilled in investigations; typically, anyone not released within ten hours from his custody was very likely really involved.

Thus, he kept an eye on whether Yi Qiu would be released.

The next day, when Yi Qiu still hadn’t emerged, he understood.

Chen Yin, who hadn’t slept all night, sat in his office, smoking and staring at the door.

During the days he was injured, Wang Yi came daily to take care of him, since he didn’t want to worry his mother and so stayed in his office.

Wang Yi would bring him breakfast every morning, always cooked by herself.

But today, it was already 9:30 am, and Wang Yi still hadn’t shown up.

Chen Yin stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, picked up the phone, and dialed the Wang family’s number.

It took a long time before someone answered.

It was Wang Yi’s mother.

”Auntie, this is Chen Yin. Has Little Yi left home yet?”

Upon hearing his voice, Mother Wang paused for a moment and then spoke somewhat coldly, ”Boss Chen, our Little Yi has gone to work. Was there something you needed from her?”

Boss Chen?

Hearing this title, Chen Yin instantly knew something was wrong.

”Auntie, I...”

”Boss Chen must be very busy, I won’t keep you, goodbye.”

With a click, the phone was hung up.

Chen Yin frowned, thought for a moment, then dialed the art academy.

Normally, it was Wang Yi who answered the phones there, but today it was someone else.

”Xiao Wang? The dean just transferred her.”
