Wei Yumeng's hand holding the cup trembled upon hearing this.
"Miss is considered the dream of all men in Black Street, yet she unexpectedly fell for someone already married. I truly don't know what spell she's under," the bartender said with a dejected look. Perhaps he was one of the Miss's admirers.
Wei Yumeng suddenly felt a gaze on her. She had to look up and indeed, the bartender was looking at her. Wei Yumeng instantly felt a little nervous, wondering if the bartender would see through her. Although her face was covered, it wasn't very safe.
"Hey, young man, she's my woman. Don't you dare have any ideas about her," Chai Yanyu said, his tone flippant yet carrying a hint of threat. Such veiled threats were far more unsettling than overt ones.
The bartender could only smile. "Don't misunderstand, I just thought this young lady looked unfamiliar."
"Oh? You can tell that even with her mask on?"
Sensing Chai Yanyu's growing displeasure, the bartender ceased the conversation and turned away.
Only then did Wei Yumeng lean closer to Chai Yanyu. "A'yu, do you think that person could really be Mo Han? Someone with a child and a wife, and a foreigner at that?"
Chai Yanyu didn't answer directly, as he didn't have the answer either. Based on the information they had, it matched Zhan Mohan's situation perfectly, but they still couldn't be certain it was him.
"Let's ask around some more," Chai Yanyu could only say. However, after questioning several more people in various ways, they received no new clues. They had to leave for now; lingering would surely draw unwanted attention.
As Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu walked back, the atmosphere remained heavy. Wei Yumeng's mind was filled with thoughts of Zhan Mohan. She couldn't bear to imagine if that person was indeed Zhan Mohan. Was he truly going to marry someone else? Wei Yumeng clenched her fists; she couldn't allow that to happen.
"A'yu, is there any way for us to get deeper into this gang? Then we might get more accurate information?" After asking, Wei Yumeng suddenly realized. Chai Yanyu had already done a great deal, and her request might be asking too much.
Chai Yanyu knew Wei Yumeng was getting anxious. Ever since they suspected the person was Zhan Mohan, Wei Yumeng had been restless. Seeing her like this pained him, and he finally sighed.
"There is a way, but it's very dangerous."
Back at their residence, Chai Yanyu continued, "If I show my true face, I might be able to directly meet the leader of this gang."
Wei Yumeng paused, remembering that when this place was investigated before, it was after Chai Yanyu revealed himself that the people left. Connecting this with current events, it wasn't hard for Wei Yumeng to suspect that Chai Yanyu had an unexpected connection to this Black Street.
"Sister, I like your intelligence, but sometimes such intelligence makes me helpless," Chai Yanyu scratched the back of his head. "You've probably realized by now, haven't you, that my understanding of this place is far more complex than I let on."
Wei Yumeng nodded. Even in the bar, Chai Yanyu had acted like a regular.
"This matter was originally not supposed to be revealed to anyone outside the Chai family, but now I have to tell you, Sister," Chai Yanyu shrugged. "Like many corporations, domestic laws are strict, but it's different abroad. For many companies to establish themselves overseas, they not only need to cooperate with local businesses but also have a good understanding of the local underworld. Offending the wrong people can ultimately be detrimental."
Wei Yumeng couldn't disagree. In fact, some of Zhan Group's overseas operations also operated on this principle of balancing the legitimate and the illicit.
"So, in the end, our Chai family has had dealings with the gangs here. That's why I could get this membership card and guarantee your safety, Sister."
Wei Yumeng finally understood Chai Yanyu's meaning. If they wanted to deal directly with the higher-ups of this gang, Chai Yanyu would have to confront them openly. But the people of Black Street were not good people. Chai Yanyu would likely become a target in their eyes, and their situation might even worsen. After all, these people might show Chai Yanyu some leniency out of respect for the Chai family, but if he accidentally crossed someone, who knew what the consequences would be.
However, besides this method, Wei Yumeng could think of no other.
Chai Yanyu smiled at Wei Yumeng. "If it's what Sister wants me to do, then I will obey Sister."
Wei Yumeng looked into Chai Yanyu's eyes and finally shook her head firmly. "Let's think of another way. That approach is indeed too dangerous."
"But if it's for Sister, I'm not afraid," Chai Yanyu seemed unconcerned.
But Wei Yumeng was insistent. "I can't let you face such danger for me. I wouldn't be at peace otherwise."
Chai Yanyu then lowered his head and murmured, "Even if you worry for me, at least you'll remember me."
"What did you say?" Wei Yumeng hadn't heard clearly.
Chai Yanyu shook his head. "Nothing. So, Sister, what should we do next?"
Wei Yumeng pondered for a moment, then took out her laptop. "Let's call Big Brother and the others first and see if they've found anything on their end." As she said this, she initiated the call request.
Soon, the faces of Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Yichen appeared on the screen.
"Yumeng, how are things on your end?" Zhan Yangyi was more concerned about Wei Yumeng's safety.
Chai Yanyu also appeared on camera. "Mr. Zhan, with me here, Sister will naturally be fine."
Zhan Yangyi looked at Chai Yanyu in surprise. "Mr. Chai, why are you there too?"
Zhan Yichen coughed unnaturally. "Let's get to the point. Have you found anything on your end?"
Wei Yumeng then said, "We went to a club here today and gathered some specific information. The person who is about to marry that Miss is a foreigner, and it's rumored he has a child and a wife." She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Yichen frowned. Indeed, from their perspective, the similarity to Zhan Mohan was very high.
