Being able to partner with Liyuan, Gu Chen felt that this would undoubtedly be a perfect match for his investigative work.

Before coming to the Philippines, Gu Chen had thought about the various difficulties he would encounter. After coming to the Philippines, these previously expected things happened one after another, and even became worse.

I originally thought that I would be trapped in Allen's team, unable to use my investigative skills.

The appearance of Ke Liyuan seems to have broken this barrier and suddenly freed her from the predicament.

If Liyuan hadn't been the leader of the Discipline and Security Department of a fraud group, Gu Chen would have really thanked her.

Almost solved many of my real-life problems.

Following Liyuan, the two of them came to the underground parking lot together. After getting into a white sedan, Liyuan began to take out her mobile phone and make calls.

After a brief communication with Yang Ruixiong, the other party agreed so readily.

This made Gu Chen feel that Liyuan's connections in the Discipline and Security Department were really not that strong.

"What are you looking at?" After hanging up the phone, Liyuan also retracted her smile and stared at Gu Chen and asked curiously.

Gu Chen shook his head: "I just feel that you are incompatible with everyone in this company."

"Out of place? Am I out of place?" Liyuan asked with a smile.

Gu Chen continued to shake his head: "I'm not talking about being unsociable, but I feel that you and the people in the company are completely in two different states."

"Oh?" When Gu Chen said it, Liyuan was a little hesitant and asked quickly: "What are the two states you mentioned?"

"Living conditions." Gu Chen did not shy away and expressed his doubts directly: "If the company is compared to a one-way siege, then the people inside can never get out, while the people outside keep squeezing in.

"

"Such a situation will only make the people inside more and more crazy. After all, personal freedom is restricted. Coming here is like a money-making machine."

"And everyone is as good as chicken blood, but you are different. You can wander outside the rules at will."

"The fact that others can't get out even if they squeeze their scalps, you can solve it with just one phone call. This... this is amazing, isn't it?"

"I understand what you mean." Liyuan nodded silently and replied with a slight smile: "You think I can have freedom that is difficult for others to achieve, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly in agreement.

But Liyuan grinned. Suddenly, Liyuan rolled up her sleeves, pointed to a scar on her arm and said, "Did you see it?"

"Such a long scar?" Seeing this scene in front of him, Gu Chen couldn't help but be startled.

Liyuan didn't stop moving, put down her cuffs, and directly pulled up the corner of her clothes, exposing her abdomen.

The perfectly defined abdominal muscles were immediately displayed in front of Gu Chen.

At this moment, Gu Chen was surprised to find that there was a bullet scar on Liyuan's left abdomen.

Because there was a retired policeman in Gu Chen's community who once worked in the border area and left a bullet scar when he retired.

It is said that in order to catch a criminal, he still brought the criminal to justice even though he was shot, thus leaving scars.

Moreover, this policeman often showed off his scar to others, saying that it was the best military medal and a lifelong honor.

This is why he is respected in the community.

Gu Chen had seen his scars many times, so when Liyuan showed her wounds, Gu Chen knew at a glance that these were indeed scars left by bullets.

"Did you see it?" Liyuan asked again.

Gu Chen frowned, nodded silently, but pretended not to know, "How did you get injured?"

"Injured by a bullet." Liyuan put down her clothes and said calmly: "For people like me, who walk between black and white, it is normal for this kind of thing to happen to me."

"Licking blood on the tip of a knife and crawling out from among the dead. Maybe you will never experience this kind of thing in your lifetime, but for me, it is a common occurrence."

Turning to look at Gu Chen, Liyuan said again: "You envy my freedom, but you don't know my past."

"You envy me for having the right to control everything, but you don't know that you need to use your strength to back this up."

"So, in this era of the jungle, no one can succeed casually. Although what we do is disgraceful, in a word, we all rely on our ability to make a living."

Lying on the seat, Liyuan looked forward and said with a smile: "Why do you think these people respect me? Actually, don't think it's because they respect me because I am a girl."

"When I was first recruited by the company's core executives, I made a name for myself in the underground boxing club."

"When I first joined the company, no one in the entire discipline and security department was convinced."

"During that time, in order to establish my prestige, I set up a ring on the training ground every day to compete one by one with those bastards who disobeyed me."

"In 10 days, 15 wins in 15 games, 11 KOs of opponents, what do you think I rely on?"

He clenched his right fist and showed it in front of Gu Chen: "It depends on the fist being strong enough, and it depends on the fighting skills."

"In the face of absolute strength, these bastards are not even qualified to carry my shoes, so from then on, everyone had to call me 'Sister Yuan' when they saw me."

"So that's it?"

After hearing Liyuan's story in the car, Gu Chen realized that the person sitting next to him was indeed a terrifying person.

She looks young, only in her early 30s, but the natural and sharp look in her eyes is enough to show that Liyuan can look at everything with a smile in such a complex environment.

So much so that when she walked sideways in the company, no one dared to say anything. Even Yang Ruixiong's tone when chatting with her was filled with a hint of awe.

So it is not difficult to understand why Yang Ruixiong immediately agreed when Liyuan called her.

In her opinion, this kind of operation is impossible to complete, but Liyuan can successfully handle it with just one phone call.

This indeed verified the reminders that Liyuan told her. Within this fraud group, backers are indeed very important.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Who you follow is more important.

Seeing that Gu Chen had an epiphany, Liyuan did not continue the exchange, just started the vehicle and drove directly outside.

Gu Chen previously learned the name of the "Austin" five-star hotel from the logo on a key executive's handbag in the surveillance footage.

On the road, the vehicle was indeed driving towards the five-star hotel in Austin.

In order to determine the specific direction, Gu Chen still reluctantly asked: "Where are we going now?"

"A five-star hotel, which is where Zhang Haifeng disappeared." Liyuan drove the car and said calmly.

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently and stopped talking.

Now, Gu Chen was extremely vigilant towards Liyuan around him.

In Gu Chen's opinion, Liyuan is indeed not simple.

If he was noticed to be abnormal, he would probably end up very miserable.

And just now Liyuan reminded herself at the company headquarters not to treat her colleagues as friends. She should always maintain a vigilant attitude at work and never confide in her colleagues casually.

Especially in this kind of well-organized fraud group, once you have different intentions and your colleagues are unreliable.

Then it will be a matter of time before you are betrayed.

This is where Zhang Haifeng suffered.

He originally had a good set of cards, but due to lack of experience, he over-trusted his colleagues around him.

Even out of a sense of compassion, he even thought of inciting his colleagues to rebel and leave with them.

This completely disrupted the original plan and put himself in danger.

No matter where Zhang Haifeng hides now, life will definitely be difficult.

Perhaps Zhang Haifeng also thought about calling the police to the local police station, but considering that there were informants of fraud groups in both black and white circles around him, he probably was intercepted by these people before he even arrived at the police station.

Or are the people within these police stations unreliable?

After all, the Philippine police responsible for investigating this fraud case are some special departments.

It seems that the general police department cannot intervene at all.

Various unknowns have led to the fact that Zhang Haifeng's whereabouts are still unknown.

Or maybe after being betrayed and reported by his colleagues, it was hard for him to trust anyone, even himself and Allen.

Perhaps Zhang Haifeng believes that the only person he can trust is himself.

When Gu Chen thought about this, he felt mixed emotions.

Now that I have the opportunity to investigate Zhang Haifeng's whereabouts, I can put my skills to use.

But at the same time, we have to be careful about Liyuan around us and avoid being exposed by Liyuan, which requires a good cover-up.

But Gu Chen still needs to improve in terms of acting skills.

But at least I know what to say and what not to say.

We also know the consequences of talking too much and making mistakes.

Before coming to the Philippines, Zhao Guozhi gave himself a surprise training in various skills in this area and also imparted a lot of experience.

This allowed Gu Chen to make many breakthroughs in skills.

And now, he has gained Liyuan's trust, and seems to be at ease, but Gu Chen must be very clear that he must stay awake enough.

Otherwise, the next corpse may be his own.

Not long after, the vehicle stopped steadily in front of the Austin International Hotel.
