At the same time, in Ancheng County, a hundred miles away, two people were also discussing the same individual.
Wang Tianyu looked at the man sitting opposite him, and suddenly the food in his mouth didn’t taste good anymore.
He knew Qin Minister wouldn’t invite him for a meal for no reason.
The matter Qin was seeking him out for was also the matter he had been most concerned about recently.
Wang Tianyu described in detail to Qin Yang the circumstances of his encounter with Gu Peng the other day.
This was no secret; Mr. Lin always hired people at his whim, and those who were close to him were aware of his style.
Moreover, aside from the newcomers, didn’t each person who first got to know Mr. Lin have their own story?
They even considered these the basis for conversation.
Qin Yang nodded, "Do you have any information on him? Let me take a look."
"No," Wang Tianyu replied with a dazed look.
Qin Yang frowned slightly, "Your boss Mr. Lin has taken a liking to someone; as her assistant, shouldn’t you get hold of the relevant information immediately?"
Wang Tianyu felt wrongly accused, "Gu Peng was taken away by Mr. Lin the next day. I wanted to inquire more about his situation, but Mr. Lin directly hired him. All I could find out were his basic details: male, 28 years old, Lin City person, no parents or siblings, healthy, no bad habits, unmarried, childless, unemployed, but now he’s employed..."
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to get any more information from him, Qin Yang waved him off to finish his meal alone and rose to leave.
He couldn’t quite describe the feeling.
When Lin Chuxia first brought Wang Tianyu along, he felt uncomfortable.
Wang Tianyu was just a kid, always hanging around his wife with an adoring and reverent gaze, making her happy.
But it was only discomfort, not a sense of crisis.
However, Gu Peng, who was around Lin Chuxia, gave him a sense of crisis from a man’s perspective.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the relationship between him and Lin Chuxia, just the feeling of having something precious to him being looked at by others.
"Minister Qin, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say."
Behind him, Wang Tianyu spoke out again.
"Speak."
"Just," Wang Tianyu pursed his lips, "Gu Peng, he was previously imprisoned and released last year."
Qin Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Previously imprisoned?
Qin Yang recalled that after the Spring Festival, Lin Chuxia took a trip to the Northwest.
What did she really go there for?
Besides the places he’d worked, there was also the largest correctional facility there.
Returning to the car, Qin Yang watched the sunlight outside the window; Gu Peng was the name running through his mind.
That night, Lin Chuxia woke up from a dream, but one thing he hadn’t told her; she had called out a person’s name in her sleep.
He thought he had heard wrong.
Until his mother mentioned that name the other day, he clearly remembered that the name Lin Chuxia shouted in her sleep was indeed Gu Peng.
In the five years he and Lin Chuxia had been married, he had known nearly everything about the people and events around her; this name had never appeared before.
Coincidentally, shortly after she shouted that name in her sleep, this person entered their lives.
